AS was to be expected, the
agitation to form overall" clubs
serves no other purpose than to
create a bull market in denims.
The price of overalls is already
skyrocketing. The fad was nuts
for the notoriety seeker but it is
rough on the working man.
Common sense and persistent
economy in purchasing would
put a check on profiteering in
short order. Anyone who really
wants to be patriotic can be so
by working faithfully and hon
estly and spending no more than
is absolutely necessary. Produc-
ton and real economy will cure
many of the present day ills.

France has made an increase
of rs per cent in the income tax
of bachelors over 80 years of
age, and an increase of 10 per
cent in the income Of chiIdless
couples who have been married
for two years or more. The rea-
son for this legislation is simple
and easily understood; there are
100000 Frenchmen dead on
the old battlefelds of the five
years war, and the nation in
1914 consisted of only about
40,000,000 people. The most val
liable contribution that a
Frenchman can now make to his
country is a child.

Mrs. Neva Spencer, aged "a,
postmistress of the small Office
of Upton, in eastern Carolina,
killed herself and little daughter
last week. She mixed coca-cola
and concentrated I've together
and gave it to her little boy and
girl to drink, and then drank
some herself. The boy drank
but little, and so recovered. The
girl drank plentifully and died
next day. The mother, after
drinking, cut her throat to make
sure of her death; she, too, died
next day in great agony. Her
rash act was due to the fear that
she might be $27 short in her
postoffice accounts.

CAM MORRISON for GOVERNOR!
w. N. EVERETT FOR
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE

Representative w. N. Everett
will not only be a candidate for
denomination at the June 5th
primary, but he will be actively
in the race for the Speakership
OF the House for the 1921 Legis-
lature.
His stand on all public ques-
lions in the past two Legisla-
lures, and his wise leadership,
especially in behalf of Woman's
Suffrage, have gained for him an
enviable reputation, and placed
him among the forefront of the
legislative leaders. That he
would fill the Office of Speaker
with honor to the office, goes
without saying to those who
know the worth of the man. And
his friends in various parts of
the State are most encouraging
in their expressions of support.
The following regarding his
entry into the race appeared in
the Charlotte Observer of April
28th, sent out from it's CORE
spondent in Rockingham:
Rockingham, NJ c., April 27.-Dur-
lag the past few days, Mr.. w. N. Ever
EFT has received numerous letters from
friends in various parts of the state
urging that he be a candidate for
speaker of the house for the 1921 leg
islature. The correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer here understands
on good authority that Mr.. Everett
will be an active contender for the
speakership.
Mr.. Everett represented the 21st
senatorial district in 1915, and in
1917 was an active and leading men,
mer Of the house. Especially active
was he in his championship of the
cause Of woman's suffrage. Never in
its long history has Richmond coun-
ty been honored with the speakership,
and now in the person of its splendid
son, w. H. Everett, the county is ask
ing for the honor"

The following editorial, cop
led from the Springfield Repub-
lican, appeared in the New York
Evening Post of April 10th; and
is so compactly expressed that
the Post-Dispatch feels con-
strained to pass it on to it's read
ers in an editorial form:
The Old School Master.
IF President Wilson has won
his Fiume fight, and reports
from Italy all point that way
now, his many enemies may con-
elude that the old School Master
even in his decline, is dangerous
still. If the Turk, should now,
after all, be driven from Con-
stantinople back into Asia, Will
son would be in a fair position
to get the chief credit for it.
Then too Wilson did establish a
League Of Nations, although his
own country is not yet a menu
Der of it. Even Prof. Keynes,
his English critic at Paris,
brackets Wilson with Foch's ar
mics as a contributing force to
the collapse of the German En-
pire in November, 1918.
when Wilson is no more, and
the tongue of detraction is 81
fenced by human decencies, his
positive achievements, as COM
pared with his failures will be
one of the most impressive ex-
hibits among the records of
American statesmen.
"The men who are now seek
ing to be his successor may well
be a little restrained in assailing
him, for if the next President
achieves half as much as Wood
row Wilson has, he may indeed
count himself fortunate"

In connection with Mr.. Ever
ett's entry for the Speakership,
the following editorial appeared
in yesterdays Charlotte OBJ
server:
ut might be said right now that there
is pretty good chance for the speaker
ship of the 1921 Legislature going to
Richmond County which has never been
accorded an honor of the kind, probably
because not before this has it offered the
right man. But Mr.. w. N. Everett, a
legislator who has won distinguished
mention" in recent years, will be a can
didate for Speaker of the House next
year and aside from his acknowledged
qualifications, Mr.. Everett has personal
friend or an out-spc',en adnirer in the
occupant of about everJ chair in the
legislative hail."
