NEWS FROM THE
STATE CAPITOL
By Maxell German

Raleigh, April 9.-Everybody
is busy here boosting Liberty
Bonds, most Of them in the big
parade and at the big city audi
forum, with Secretary Of Trea
sury, McAdoo, the principal at
traction. There has never been
so much enthuiasm on the sub
ject Of war bonds, and people
were never more anxious to do
all that is possible to help win
the war, as at present.
Most Of the business places
were closed during the parade
and speaking, and all the bust
ness people and their employees
participated in the day, with the
"war anniversary" words Of
President Wilson, Of war to the
finish, still ringing in their ears
and inspiring their efforts. All
over North Caorlina and throug-
out the United States, it is be-
ieved, a similar degree Of en-
thuiasm and patriotism and the
three billion Of bonds will be
taken as planned.
Considerable il interest is man
Tested here and among public
men who visit Raleigh in the
news that Judge Frank Carter
has bought the Albemarle Enter
prise and is to get right into the
thick Of the ssfourth estate in
North Carolina they fully
expect the judge will add right
much to the 'gaiety Of nations =,
not to mention Tar Heel politics
and politicians.
One Of the interesting contests
Of the year is that for the SUI
perior Court judgeship Of this,
the seventh judicial district, fol-
which there are now four can
didates in the field. The dis
trict is composed Of only two
counties and Wake furnishes
three Of the candidates (Calvert,
the incumbent; w. B. Snow and
W. G. Harris) while Franklin
presents Senator Wiley Person.
It is probable that Snow will win,
largely because Judge Calvert
does not know anything about
politics.

HAWAIIANS AT DIXIE

popular throughout America. One
Selection "the reveille,' initiating the

was especially fine, and the other Sc
lections and songs were received with
due applause.
