questions on practical common

would be of greater advantage to the
farmers and consumers. The kind of
politics which has been preached to
the farmers for 20 years has kept the
farmers from advancing their inter-
ests and keeping pace with those who
are organized. To arrive at the high
business standard to which the farm

"One of the things advocated by
the Farmers Union is greater pro-
portion of federal appropriations for
agriculture. In recent speech in
the lower house of congress. Chair
man Tawney, of the committee on ap-
preparations, said that II per cent of
the revenues of the government went
for military expenses, which amount
ed to s430,000,000 for that period.
This is 33 times as much as approp-
rated for agricultural purposes. This
session the senate has passed a bill
providing for s3.500.000 to pay for
few acres of land in Washington to
give better view of the Capitol
This is the kind of reclamation which
Washington understands and to i'm
prove these few acres the legislators
are ready to give one-quarter as much
as given for agriculture.

provide so more farms for 312.50O

Protest Of Rural Districts.

Protest Of Rural Districts.
The Wake County Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee met In Raleigh
Saturday afternoon and decided TO
have a single primary for the nomi-
nation of State. county and town
June Is under the rules prescribed
In the general plan OF the organiza-
ton provided by the State commit
tee. There was strong support for
a proposition TO have two separate
primaries and also a general mass
convention, the latter TO be for the
adoption OF a general party platform
for the county. ]. William Bailey
was the spokesman for this plan,
declaring that this was the almost
unanimous wish of the rank and
file of the Democrats in the rural
districts. He feared that the action
OF the committee In calling a single
primary, and that as early az June
25th, would spread the impression
that an unfair snap judgment was
being taken by some political inter-
ests. He exhibited a petition that
he said was signed by 40 or more
substantial Democrats in every part
Of the county insisting especially on
the plan TO have a mass convention
for the adoption of a county platform
for the party. However, the COM
mittee voted by good majority for
the single primary, thus leaving out
also a mass convention that Mr..
Bailey SO spiritedly insisted upon.
B. NJ. Calling resigned as chair
man Of the County Executive Com
mittee. Armistead Jones was then
elected chairman.
The convention was anything but
harmonious. Several charged Mr..
Bailey with being a candidate for
office. Mr. Bailey offered to pay the
expenses of a second primary, but
his motion was voted down. The
convention was boisterous and dealt
in personalities.
Democratic Mass Meeting Called.
On Tuesday a largely signed call
was issued for a meeting to be held
April goth. to protest against the
snap" action of the County Execu-
tive Committee, which is controlled
by the courthouse ring" 1t sets
forth that the present practice is for
the machine to put forward its tick
ct and run it over the rest of us"
and that a stop must be put" to it.
The protest voices the same senti-
ments that swept out of Office the city
ring here last spring. The country
voters seem to be fully aroused for
once, and if their present condition
of mind is kept up, the county ma
chine has the fight of it's life.

STRONG PROTEST FROM PEOPLE
Residents of Swift Creek and House

Against Unfair School Directions.


Over one hundred residents of
Swift Creek and Houses Creek
Townships, Wake County, appeared
before the County Board of Educa-
ton on Tuesday to enter a protest
against the method of conducting
school affairs in their respective
townships. Charges were made that
certain members of the Board "were
running rough shod over the peo-

The action was based on the
Boards consolidation of six schools
into three, making Inwood and No. G
schools primary schools. This was
vigorously rejected by the residents
who claimed the right to regulate
their schools as they pleased, since
they did not receive or ask county
aid. "All we want is for you to let
US alone"
Despite their objections, the Board
seemed inclined to refuse the pleas

take definite action in the face of the
angry taxpayers. Action, it was
