Our New Location

The Herald wishes to announce
to its friends and patrons that
it has moved its offices from the
rooms at the rear of Capt. j. NJ.
McMurray's residence to its new
quarters next to the First Ma
tional Bank.
These new quarters are much
more comfortable and roomy
than the old and we confidently
believe we will be able to render
our patrons quicker and better
service than heretofore.
The work of moving has been
a pretty big undertaking, re-
curing the attention of the en-
tire force for the past week.
Necessarily this weeks paper
has suffered, both from inatten-
ton and general mix-up and we
solicit the indulgence of our pa
irons for this issue.
We hope to have things very
nearly Strengthened out by the
time we go to press and will be
in much better shape next week.

RECORD BREAKING MONTH
Over 10000 Birth and Death Ger
tificates Filed Last Month

The Vital Statistics Law has
already passed the fondest ex-
pectations of its advocates and
supporters. For the month of
June there were turned in to the
State Board Of Health 1928
certificates of births and deaths.
The month of May was also a re-
cord breaker. 1858 certificates
were collected that month as
against 1887 for April, 1908 for
March and 4,S47 for February.
These figures tell better than
words how our people are taking
hold of a new law which means
that they will no longer be born
into this world and die like so
many horses or cattle without so
much as an official record of their
entrance or exit, These official
records will be worth many times
their cost in Strengthening out
legal entanglements regarding
descent, age, inheritance and
various legal rights to say moth
ing about their value from stats
teal and public health points of
of view. North Carolina State

Statewide Primary

The News has never yet held
the opinion that the sovereign
voters of any county or section
of North Carolina are incompet-
ent to enjoy local self-govern-
ment. We have always endeav-
ored consistently to oppose any
restrictions whatever which
would stihe, or impair in the
slightest degree the free eXer-
else of the right of the citizen to
participate in the selection of
officers.
We hear much nowadays of
conservatives" and progress
sives. 1t is our opinion that a
great many so-called 'conserva-
tives" are of a great deal more
value to the community in which
they live than a great many So
called 'progressives. T" The
radical progressive" is menace
with his fantastic and wild schem-
eS.
The true progressive" spirit,
however, is becoming more
strongly felt in all the states of
the union. There is a growing
disposition everywhere to lift the
shackles of unjust restrictions
and render unto the people that
which is really theirs the free
right to exercise voice in all
the affairs of party and state,
And nowhere is this sentiment
more clearly shown than in the
movement for a legalized state
wide primary. 1t is our belief
that the best interests of North
Carolina would be served by a
statewide primary for both par
ties, to be held on the same day,
and to affect all elective Offices,
Such a system will undoubtedly
come and we do not believe the
innovation is far removed
There can be abuses under the
primary plan, as there are abuses
under the convention plan, but
the foundation principle is right
for it is based upon direct popu-
lar representation. lfevils come
under the primary plan the people
themselves are responsible and
have the unhampered means of
correcting them.
We do not believe that such a
primary law would be detrimen-
tai to any interests save those
of a few men who have formerly
had the entire party machinery
in their hands, who have named
the officers voters were expected
to support and who have DONNA
ted the entire machinery of Sc
lection election and policy of the
party.
No party is endangered for
long when its operations are car
ried on in the open; when its law
is the will of all the people, and
when its destiny is shaped by
sovereign voters, unhampered in
the exercise of their power.
The makeshift primary law
will not suffice. From all parts
Of the state come reports that
counties are adopting resolutions
in favor of a sraight-out-and-out
statewide, legalized primary.
1t will come for it is the child
of true Democratic parentage.
1t is just and right. 1t is the
embodiment of the principle Of
local self-government. Char
