Will Not Vote for Turn Coats.

Mr.. Editor:-I see the Duncan
graphophone-Smithfield journal
has boosted Aycock as one OF North
Cardinals greatest statesmen, and
the cause of education loses one of its
most able supporters. Who was sur
prised at that? Not /, in the least,
for the conduct OF the Duncan ma
chine in Wake and other counties
bears the ear-marks of the rotten
Democracy of Simmons & Co. Some
Of the Duncan-Andrews crowd have
deserted since they bolted and posed
as a Roosevelt, and then turned out
to be Taftites. No one can help
laughing when they think how this
gang cussed Taft, and when Mars
Carl saw an opportunity to make a
deal and again crawl upon the band
wagon. of course the orders were Civ
en- down the line and all these little
two by four office-holders had to hold
their nose and boiler, Taft" Poor
little fellows, you have the worst pill
you have had to swallow in your life
After the Conner dose one office
holder was asked by me how he liked
it? His reply was: my God, don't
mention that; it makes me sick"
guess Mars Carl has ordered a car
load of Perry Davis Pain Killer"
for his little henchmen. Some Of
them may be of noble physical stat
ure; however, their political princi-
pies are so changeable that they are
forced to wear clothing opened on
both sides in order that they may al
ways be able to remove their apparel.
Four years ago l held my nose and
voted for Taft. After Duncan and
his gang did some of our Republicans
as they did in this county, I avowed
| would never vote for him again.
and l mean it. The fight between
Duncan and the rank and file of the
Republicans in Wake County seems
to be capital against labor. Every
move of his henchmen seems to be
against the poor man. AS for me,

not name a county ticket at that

was to hear Hon. Iredell Meares at
1870 and there would not be time to
discuss a full ticket without delaying

another meeting on Tuesday, Octo-

ported the following resolutions TO

unanimously:

Chairman Banks then named a
committee to notify Hon. Iredell
Meares that the convention was ready
to hear him.
When Mr.. Meares arrived on the
stage he was introduced to the audi

well chosen words. Mr.. Banks re-
ferred to the fact that Mr.. Meares
was born in Raleigh and was the
grandson of a former Governor of
this State.

conference were startled to realize
how little the village of Berea and
Madison county have contributed To
this great charitable Institution which
is operating in their midst.
1t was determined, therefore, to
take steps at onco to secure subscrip-
tions in Berea and in Madison county
towards the erection of a new DOR
mitory building. to be called Ken
lucky Hail." Such a building would
meet the greatest need and be an
ornament to the town and county. A
building equal in spaciousness and
beauty to Pearsons Hall could be
erected for $4,000. The following
committee Of citizens was appointed
to begin the subscriptions for this
object: Mayor John Gay, Mr.. j. W..
Stephens, Mr.. w. A. Todd, Mr.. J. w.
Fowler, Mr.. r. II. Chrisman, MIR. ].
W. Herndon, Mr.. Andrew Isaacs.
and Thomas j. Osborne. Treasurer of
the College.
1t was thought that a generous
subscription On the part of Berea
citizens would challenge gifts from
other parts of the county and state
at large.
On Monday morning the Rev. DIR.
William II. Hubbard, of Auburn, N. Y.
who was visiting tho College and had
preached the previous Sunday night.
spoke to the students on their duty
and privilege Of contributing to the
equipment of the Institution which
is doing so much for them and their
friends. He outlined a plan by which
the $34, 900 could be comfortably divid-
ed among a large number OF persons.
Business men and others who are
not students might take special salts
faction in contributing the amount
which is necessary for each single
inmate Of a large building like this.
If thirty-four thousand dollars pro-
vides a building which will shelter
40 people the cost Tor each one VIII
be two hundred dollars.
At the same time, the poorest stu
dent could subscribe a dollar
month, and such a subscription from
a thousand students would mean
twelve thousand dollars.
On Tuesday morning, at United
Chapel. subscriptions were opened for
students and faculty, and at the
end of a short hour the students
and teachers sang the Doxology over
subscriptions as follows: Faculty,
Sites; College, $3.50, Academy,

RESOURCES OF SOUTH FOR LEAD
eRShIP IN SOCIAL SERVICE

Address by Rev. Wilbur +. Crafts,
Phi. d.. Of Washington. ID. c., Super
intendent of the International Reform
bureau at Southern Sociological
Congress, Nashville, May 10. 1912.
In the United States Congress,
the South is now leading in moral
reforms, not alone in temperance
legislation. with Captain Hobson Is
their leader. but also in the anti
gambling crusade. which Congress-
man Sims and Senator Lea are lead
ing while Senator johnson OF Ala
Lama. is the leader In securing a
Sunday rest law for the National
Capital.
The reasons for this moral leader
ship are that the South as compared
with the East and the West, is the
most American. the most religious,
the most Sabbath observing. and has
the largest percentage OF saloonless
territory.
As to the rurality OF the South.
do not forget that IL is fast decreas-
Ing before the worldwide social pas
sion for city life, but the South will
be predominantly rural long enough
t. hold the vicious elements in the
cities In check by State authority if
only IL will act swiftly and refuse to
be fooled by the specious appeals for
home rule" that come from that
trIumvirate which rules so many
cities, Appetite, Greed and Lust. 4
Is one OF the most absurd concep-
lions that ever fooled sane being,
that those citizens of State who
are most enyironed by evil elements
are least entitled to the protection
OF State law. And II would be
comedy II IL were not tragedy 10
hear men protesting TO hold the creed
of states Rights" while arguing
that the most fundamental of all
States rights, the right of the ma
jority of the State to rule. can be
set aside by city officials wherever
the criminal and vicious element have
colonized in unusual numbers. That
is. just where the State law is most
needed. Mayor may declare him
self monarch of all he surveys, even
TO suspending the laws of the State.
SOUTHERN DIFFICULTIES IN
SOCIAL MOVEMENTS
Having mentioned the potential
advantages the South has in under
taking social service. its peculiar
disadvantages should also be stated
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1912-05-30

but for the second disadvantage !
am now TO mention, namely, that
Southern churches have generally
failed TO recognize. what this South
ern Sociological Congress insures
they will increasingly see hereafter,
that the church is called to apply
the principles of righteousness not
alone to individuals but TO the
whole social life-to business and pol
itics and pleasures; TO the city, the
state and the nation.
A third disadvantage. partly due
TO the second. is that the South
has very few social workers of its
own, and has hitherto found 1t nee
essary TO import most OF them

know little and care less for their
solution. In four months recent study
Of Southern cities | have found very
few where the State laws intended TO
promote moral and social better

Since good city government must
be one Of the chief factors in
any successful scheme Of social bet

Congress than to send out its patrio-
