THIRTY YEARS AGO TODAY.

(From the Times-Recorder May
20, 1922
The club held a pleasant meeting
last night at the residence of DR..
and Mrs. j. B. Hinkle. A charming
program was gone through with, and
the large crowd present enjoyed the
evening immensely.
The A. L. /. boys were on the
streets last night. They show up bet
ter and better at each drill.
The delaying in opening the signal
service office in Americas is due to
the fact that the flags have not yet
been received by G. NJ. Eldridge from
Washington.
Another baseball team has been
made up in the city to play the regu-
lar nine. Here is the scrub team as
named yesterday; o. A. Coleman. r.
L. Maynard, Walter johnson, ]. w.
Sheffield, Jr., Egbert Allen, ]. B.
Fitzgerald, John AnsIey, w. K. MI
Ter, and Joel hightower. Walter K,
Wheatley, and Judge Charlie Ora
ham have been mentioned as umpires.
This team isn't poor one by any
means, and the game will be well
worth seeing.

for he didn't know who was who.

for ne didn't know who was who.
That, coupled with the fact that
there was and still is a powerful
group in Columbus opposed to doing
away with the old order of things,
where money was easy and the tax
payers paid the bills, brought about
an opposition capable of greatly en-
barrassing, if not wrecking, any form
of government. A proportionately
less powerful group turned all Russia
into vast mass of Bolshevism
menacing the peace of the whole
world, and the same per centage of
lawless power in America today
would turn our own great country
from democracy into a land of an
archy.
The Times-Recorder has no fears
/ for anything even remotely approach
ing the Columbus situation coming
about in Americas should the COM
mission-manager form of government
be adopted here. 1t has proved too
successful and popular in other Geor-
gia and other Southern cities to per-
NIT of such a thought. But we are
not going to wage a knock-down fight
for the change. We want to see the
change effected, but it will not be
the Times-Recorder's personal fight.
Rather, if it wins, it must be the
fight of the citizens, and it must win
on its merits. The Times-Recorder
declares here and now that it will
attempt to be absolutely fair and
impartial in its news columns at all
timeseto both the proponents and OPP
ponents of the change here. We
want the whole facts to be laid before
the people so they may judge intelli-
gently. If the opponents have meri-
torius arguments, they should be Civ
en- to the people. If their arguments
are without merit they should be
easily recognized by the people, and
will fall of their own weight.
We do not believe there is going
to be serious opposition to the pro-
posal to change the form of govern
ment in Americas, because it doesn't
require much intelligence to realize
that it must be either a change or
retention of the present form and
the conditions it has brought about.
And we believe not one man in ten
is satisfied with the present situation.

INTERESTING PROGRAM
FOR TEACHERS MEETING

Raleigh, Nov. 1.-THE program for
the annual meeting Of the North Caro-
lima Teachers assembly, which is now
in the hands Of the printer, promises
to be one of the most interesting and
helpful of the many programs held by
the assembly. The big Feature Of
the meeting will be the address of DR..
Henry van Dyke, of Princeton, N. j.,
on the last night of the assembly, but
this speaker will by no means over
shadow the others in degree OF I'M
portance.
DR.. Charles E. Brewer, president OF
the assembly this year., as chairman
of the program for the general meet
ing, has made an effort to confine the
program for the general meetings to
one prominent speaker for each OF
the three meetings. Secretary r. G.
Moore, of the Illinois State Teachers,
association, will be the main speak
er for the opening. session on Wednes-
dav evening, November 20. He will
discuss the possibilities of thor
oughly organized teachers, assocla-
ton. On the second night Miss Eliza
beth Farrell of New York city, will
be the chief speaker, and DR.. van
Dyke will be on for the third night.
The Thanksgiving sermon, which has
been one of the big features of the
assembly in other years, will be
preached by Rev. A. Paul Bagby, OF
Wake Forest, this year.
The programs for the different de-
partments of the assembly are just
as interesting, and perhaps even more
helpful in working out the solution OF
many of the real problems that con
front the teachers every day: This
part of the program is intended to
furnish a clearing house for the prob
lens of the teachers who come, IN
order that they may find out and
carry back to their colleagues the
IDEAS of the best trained teachers IN
the state about the way to handle
these vital teaching problems. For the
most part the speakers on the depart
mental programs are North Carolina
teachers, but they are the outstand-
ing teachers of the state, who have
worked out some particular project
or nroblem in a manner that will prove
interesting to the other teachers. OF
The primary teachers are bringing
Miss Gail Harrison, Of Columbia uni
versity. to Raleigh for their meeting.
She is regarded as one OF the best
authorities in the country on primary
work, and the program committee OF
this department feel that they nave
been particularly fortunate IN getting
her here for this meeting.

Charlotte, n c., Nov. 13.-Po.ibill-
ty that the Democrats might finally
be able to organize the. 6sth congress
with him as speaker, provided Presi-
dent Harding does not call an extra
session after March 4, was expressed
today by Claud Kitchn, representative
OF the second North Carolina district
and minority leader in the house.
Mr.. Kitchin, who telegraphed the
statement from his home in. Scotland
Neck In response to query, said:
i was not accurately quoted. In
spite of the apparent Republican ma
jority, the Democrats had chance
to organize the house and if no extra
session is called after March 4, 1923,
as the president has indicated, 1 was
quite hopeful that the Democrats
would be able to organize the 68th
congress.
Then in answer to question as
to who would be speaker, I thought
there would be little doubt that
would be the speaker"
Shortly after election day Mr..
Kitchin talked along the same line and
it was explained that he believed the
Democrats would gain enough aid
from certain Republicans in the house
to organize it.
