cratic votes in this race, for he knows
there is no chance for him without dem
ocratic aid.
Mr.. Britt is a pleasant and forceful
speaker, lacking in magnetism and often
fails to enthuse his crowd likeCraw-
ford, but democrats must remember
that he is no man of straw and think
that democratic work is unnecessary
He is a years of age; has a wife and
seven children. He looks like preach
er in his clerical black suit, standing
collar and gold spectacles.
Mr.. Britt was born in Tennessee and
moved to North Carolina % year ago.
where he has taught school about doz-
en- years, and has been In the internal
revenue department hunting blockaders
for years and then discussing officer
for more years at Asheville. Neither
one uses tobacco or intoxicants in any
form and are honored members of the
Baptist church. Each "wears without
reproach the grand old name of gentle
men,"
The campaign has been able and ag-
gressive, yet innocent of mud-slinging
and personal abuse. They fight nObly
under their respective banners, yet af-
ter debate they reman good friends,
while striving for supremacy. Each is
superb representation of his party, and
bravely holds aloft their party's
achievements for the voters approval.
The Webster court house was crowd
ed to hear the two opposing candidates
ably discuss the issues of the day in
debate free from strife. The debate
began at Robbinsville two weeks ago
and terminated for the present at Web
ster in Jackson county and no quarrel
marred the amity of two friends, while
the crowds were respectful and gener-
ally orderly. In this county there is a
local issue injected by the republicans
to catch democratic votes. The ques-
ton is not now the removal of the court
house from Webster to more progressive,
Sylvia on the railroad that is now i'm.
possible, but to discuss and allow the
right of the people of Jackson to vote on
the removal, provided the majority of
voters so petition the legislature. This
is a local issue and cuts no ice in the
congressional race. Crawford will car
ry Jackson by the usual majority
about 100.
Mr.. Crawford opened the ball at Web
ster in his usual able, aggressive and in
cisive manner, and held his crowd which
frequently cheered him. With sledge-
hammer blows he dealt in arguments
and answers to his opponents fallacies,
and his speech was interlarded with
anecdotes that pleased and amused re-
publicans and democrats.
He began with the three oft repeat
ed charges against Britt and his repub
lican party in North Carolina. He told
about Bfitt's resi- signation of his Office at
Asheville, which Office he may again
hold after his defeat in November. He
read from the ponderous Secretary
Taft's speech at the republican conven-
tion an Greensboro, where he said in
laundering tones, 'It is best for the
republican party in North Carolina that
all federal officers should be held by the
democrats of this state!"
Then he read rom Judge Bynum's
republican and caustic criticism of hi

own party when he. said, "George
Washington was first in war, first in
peace, and >frst in the hearts of his
countrymen: the republican party are
always in war, never in peace, and al.
ways in the pockets of their country
menl"
Remember, republicans, this is what
your own men have said of your own
party, not my words.
The republican convention at Green's
boro, where rows and police were pres
ens, was also exposed, for it was strug-
gle between Judge Adams and Congress
man Blackburn for control of party
machinery and to- determine which
faction should control the distribution
of "pie" to hungry Office seekers.
Britt for Adams Faction.
Mr.. Britt says he favors the Adams
faction; he has been internal revenue
officer for years. Then he was a
faithful disbursing officer for three
years. Although a young lawyer of
less than one years practice, he admits
he was appointed assistant district at
torney to help prosecute Congressman
Blackburn, the only republican con
gresham in North Carolina and the
last one for the next ten years, yet
Blackburn was acquitted, notwithstand-
ing Britt's efforts and speech. Britt
tried to send the only republican con-
gresham to jail for high crimes and
misdemeanOrs.
Thus I have shown without malice
the misdeeds of this party that Britt
defends, and ask you to vote for honest,
good government. The republican
party is In favor of Protection that pro-
tects the rich manufacturer, upholds
trusts and monopolies and robs the
masses to enrich the classes; the demo-
cratic party is the friend of the masses;
helps the agricultural south and fights
against unjust taxation, monopolies and
the hydra trusts.
Then the tedious, and gen.
orally unlnteresting Dingley Tariff on
4,2OO articles of trade, was discussed at
length-too long for this paper to give
all his arguments against Protection
that protects the manufacturer, and
robs the Southern farmers, whose pro
ducts are not helped by Protection, but
the farmer has to pay high tax on
what he buys.
This Dingley tariff is a tax, a heavy
burden, and no tax can make a nation
rich and prosperous, yet this is what
Britt claims. The idea of tax making
a nation prosperous is ridiculous. Here
is the Ding-dang Dingley law that /
hold in my hand, and this little pam
phlet of about sixty pages made you
rich and bought you all your property,
so Britt claims. Why, Britt, are you
not ashamed to attempt to fool intelli-
gent voters this way?
Prosperity is worldwide. and nations
in Europe and Asia are prosperous,
tariff or no tariff. A hundred things.
as varied as the intonations of our
Southern mocking bird, natural causes,
the blessings of Providence, the wealth
of our mines and forests, our agrisul-
tural resources, increase of gold output
and increase Of money in circulation,
our exports of 1,40O millions to foreign
markets, the toll and sweat of millions
of laborers, all these have combined to
make this grand country rich and

Congressional Campaign.

Messrs. Britt and Crawford after
speaking at Franklin took two carriages
and went through the mountains in
their campaign to the lofty Highlands,
the highest town this side of the Rockies,
not even excepting Boone. En- route
to Highlands we saw mag nifcent falls,
cascades amid the lofty mountains and
racing, deep, wide and swift rivers,
Fording in the rain the swollen Buck
creek, we had narrow escape. As Mr..
Crawford had to speak in two hours at
Highlands, we had to ford to reach the
appointment and rush into the swollen
stream, whose waters reached above
the seats of the carriage and we three
were wet men. I told Mr.. Crawford
that he had two seats-s wet seat and
seat in congress in the future. At
Highlands, beautiful summer resort
perched 3, 1928 #. ON the mountain top,
and with summer population of HOO,
and $50 people in the cold winter. The
building was crowded with voters, tour
lists, male and female. in charming con-
trast, the audience had metropolitan
appearance. Would like to describe
some of the grand waterfalls In the
narrow defiles, scenery, lofty colunnar
rocks where eagles cry in their peerless,
wonderous mountain land, which
frames it's beauty in rock, cascade,
rhododrendron, fir and balsam, but my
mission, which Is political. forbids.
The mountain roads were sometimes
good along the swiftly racing rivers and
streams up to the gap where lovely
clouds, like islands, gathered amid the
crags; other roads were rough and
perilous climbing, three miles an hour.
The people of the mountains. noted for
their proud independence of character,
and individuality, were kind and hos
pitable; some of their homes isolated in
the mountain Businesses were stylish,
costly and large, interspersed with
mountain cabins beside the spring cool
as ice and surrounded by ferns and
mountain flowers.
Then we climb, following the streams,
superb surveyors for roads and railroads,
up the mountains of Cullowhee, view
with rapture Tuckaseages, the grand

was crowded by voters and students;
cheer and the incense of flowers from
fair hands animated Messrs. Britt and

LONG BEACH, May 9.-The school
census for the Long Beach city district
was completed this afternoon and
shows that there are ALP children of
school age In the district, an increa Sc
of 79S over the figures of the last pre-
ceding census. The enumerator, figur-
ing on a count of five to one and allow
ing for about 1000 who are outside of
the limits has estimated from his re-
port that the population of Long Beach
approXimates 21,000.
The Rev. Chester P. Dorland, chair
man of the committee on entertain
ment, stated that the Congregational
ministers, numbering probably more
than 200, who will attend the approach
ing convention in Los Angeles, will
visit Long Beach on Monday, May 81,
making a stay of several hours.
The official report of the postmaster
here showed an increase in gross re-
ceipts during April of $1101 over those

The construction of the new Southern
Pacific depot at Second street and Pa
cific avenue was begun. The depot will

DOWN
Man BrutalIy Whips Up His Horse
and Disappears, Leaving Woman
Alone and Unconscious on
the Street

While driving at a furious rate OF
speed east on Third street yesterday
afternoon man who was not identi-
fed allowed his horse to knock Miss
Corinne Smell, leading woman at the
Grand theater, to the pavement, where
the wheels of the buggy passed across
her body
Miss Smell was going to her home at
the Judd, on South Grand avenue, when
the accident occurred. She was about
to cross from the north to the south
side of Third street. above Broadway,
when she noticed a horse attached to
n light buggy driven by man whom
she did not know, rapidly approaching
down Third street. When she saw the
rig It was about twenty feet away.
Miss Smell attempted to turn back to
the sidewalk, but did not succeed in
doing so. AS the rapidly moving horse
reached her Miss Smell put out her
hand to ward off the shock. She was
borne backward to the pavement,
where the horse stepped upon her left
arm and the wheels of the buggy passed
over her body.
After the accident the driver of the
buggy whipped his horse to greater
speed and went on down Third street.
Miss Smell was rendered unconscious
by the shock and was taken to the Re-
ceiving hospital, where she was re-
vived
Although she was weak from the ter
rible experience which she had UNDER
gone, Miss Smell had recovered suffi-
ciently to enable her to play in the

Pima and the three others under arrest
on suspicion of being implicated in the
killing of Michael Rennahan last Sat-
urday night were this afternoon re-
leased from custody owing to insult
ficient evidence. While there is no
doubt the men were all engaged In the

has disappeared since the shooting.
