THE Republicans have nomln-
7ated Mrs. Lindsay Patterson, wife
of a Winston lawyer, as their
candidate for Congress in the
Fifth district against that gallant
gentleman, Major Charles M.
Stedman-the last surviving
Confederate soldier in the House.
The Fifth district is Democratic
by an average of 5000 majority.
The vote in 1918 was 2l,076 for
Stedman and 1865 for Kurfees.
In 1920 Stedman received 45,3Ol
to 38,484 for Merritt.
For the past several weeks the
name of John A. Smith, of High
Point, had been before the eyes
of the Republicans of the Fifth
district-especially before the
eyes of the younger Republicans,
or Roosevelt element. But when
the congressional convention met
April 10th, not a word was said
about Smith-the steam-roller
was all creased and primed and
the bosses put up Mrs. Patterson
in the hope of doing what they
have despaired of ever accom-
plishing with a man-bringina
about the retirement of Major
Stedman. But Smith does not
take kindly to the way he was
treated. He gave a statement tc
the Greensboro Daily News in
which he said that the old re
dictionaries, the hungry horde Of
the old gang of federal office
holders, couldn't bear the thought
of a Roosevelt Republican run
ming for Congress" and so they
showed him aside. There is ar
old saying, when thieves fall
out, honest men get their due"

THIS weeks issue is the last
that ex-sheriff John M. Smith
publishes. He established The
Times last summer and ran it
as an independent paper. Mr..
Smith is totally blind, but despite
this handicap he keeps abreast OF
the times. His friends will regret
that circumstances are forcing
him out of the newspaper game.

! THE Ivey store in Charlotte
must be a live number. One of
their advertising stunts last week
was to place a Mrs. J. W. Mer-
rift, Of Mecklenburg county, for
a couple of hours in their front
window, and, with her 98-year-
old spinning wheel, proved to
the crowds in the street that the
present generation is a no-ac-
count, lazy lot of folks. She took
a basket of raw cotton, carded it
and spun it. How those folks a
hundred years ago got along is a
but they did and no
doubt were as happy in their
slow, crude methods as we in our
rush and hurry of modern con.
