FOR SOLICITOR
Brief Sketch of F. D. Phillips.

(By w. L, Parsons, Jr, Rocking
ham, N. CO.
In -the primary next June, it will
be necessary for the Democrats OF
the Thirteenth Judicial District to
nominate a candidate for Solicitor,
and as my fellowtownsman F. Don
aid Phillips, is a candidate for this
position of honor and trust, | wish
to give the voters of said district
some slight idea of the Manner of
! Man" he is.
Don Phillips is a native of Scot
/ land County, which was, at the time
of his birth, part of Richmond
County, a son of Mr. and Mrs. r. d.
Phillips of Laurinburg, than whom
there arc no better or more worthy
citizens. His mothers Mrs. II. d.
/ Phillips, is a sister of the late Mr.
Hector Mclean, of Laurinburg, and
who formerly represented Richmond
County in the State Legislature, and
is an aunt of Hon. A. w. Mclean
Chairman of the War Finance Cor.
poGation, of Lumberton, n. c., and
she is also an aunt of Hon. S. B. Nc
Lean, of MaXton, n. c., who is now
Solicitor of the Ninth Judicial Dis
trict of North Carolina.
His Academic education was re,
ceived at the Georgia Military Acad-
I'cmy, Atlanta, Georgia, and at the
University of Georgia, and his legal
education was received at the Uni
versity of Florida and the University
of North Carolina. He was admitted
to the bar in 1914, and at once be
gan the practice of his profession
forming at that time a partnership
with Mr.. w. ). Thomas OF the ROCK
ingham Bar He was very sue
cessful lawyer from the start and
his rise in Rockingham was rapid
and his practice continued to grow
until the World War involved the
United States, when he was among
the first men of Richmond County
to volunteer for service i'll the Army
and was the first lawyer of this
County to enlist in the Army.
Prior to the time he entered The
Army, Mr.. Phillips had been thu
Recorder Of the County Recorders
court Filling the vacancy caused by
the illness of Hon. w. Steele Lowder
milk, and prior to that time hat
been Prosecuting Attorney in thu
same court. He filled both of thes

offices with credit to himself and
Richmond County.
Don Phillips enlisted in the first
0glethorpe Training camp in May,
1917, and having received his COM
mission as a Second Lieutenant OF
Infantry, sailed for France in Sep
TENDER, 1917, where ne served TWEEN
ty months as an Infantry Officer and
was engaged in the fiercest fighting
done by the Amrican Army. On
June LIST, 1918, Mr.. Phillips received
the French CroiX de Guerre, Divis.
ional Citation, by the Fourth French
Division, for bravery in action. Dur
ing the same month he was wound
cd in action, and after recovering
from his wound, he took valiant
part in the Second Battle OF the
Marine, in the S0issoins offensive,
the MUcsc-Arsonnc offensive in
which lie fought for twenty four
days. And before engaging in the
offensive fighting OF the American
Army, he was in the line for two
and one half months in a defensive
sector in Alsacc. Although taking
an active part in such great battles
and having been wounded and
gasscd, Mr.. Phillips was fortunate
enough to live through it all and
he was in the front line of battle
when the ArE,i. tic" was signed and
went into effect on November 18th,
1913. After the Armistice, he served
with his Division, the same being
the famous 32nd Division from
Michigan and Wisconsin, for four
months in the Army of Occupation.
In recognition of his valient service,
he was promoted to the rank OF
First Lieutenant He received his
discharge on May 10Th, 1919, and inn
mediatcly returned to Rockingham,
where he resumed the practice OF
law in June, 1919.
While he was still III France, his
friends IT, Rockingham knowing
that he was to be soon discharged
and that he would at once sail for
home, put his name in nomination
as Mayor of the Town of Rocking
ham. He was elected, and served as
Mayor of Rockingham from the
time that he returned until May
1921. when he declined to be can
didatc for reelection.
Mr.. Phillips is a faithful and ener
gctic Democrat. He has always
taken an active interest in politics
and is now chairman of the Rich
mond County Board of Elections.
In closing this brief sketch of Dol
Phillips, it is hoped that the voter
will give his candidacy for Solicito

DRESIDENT HARDING'S confer
L ence of representatives. of the coal
mine operators and striking miners in
the White House brought no immediate
results, but hope of peaceful adjust
ment was not abandoned and the con-
ferees agreed TO get together again
July 10. They know that Mr.. Harding
has in reserve some drastic govern
ment action If they fail to agree,
though he has not revealed its exact
nature.
In Kansas the coal miners who sup
ported the program of Alexander
Howatt and who, with their officials,
were expelled from the United Mine
Workers of America, have decided to
return to work, that being the only
way they could o their autonomy

L the conference at The Hague would
com no nearer to settling the Rus.
sian problem than did that at Genoa.
The soviet delegates in response to
the demands of the allies submitted
what they called the Russian budget,
but Chairman Alphand of the commits
sion characterized it as "A project
and the British called it IAN amazing
document" This budget admitted that
Gne-fifth of the entire revenues con.
sisted of new issues of paper rubles
and undertook to show that the more
rubles were printed the more valuable
they became-amazing indeed. The
budget figures, which were in gold
rubles, We're calculated on an arbt
trary rate in paper rubles every three
months. The allied experts were
dazed by all this.
The Russians caused further dis.
sensien by putting out two question
nalres demanding to know the social
positions, the professions. the reve.
nues and the family positions of all
previous holders of property, bonds
and securities who have claims against
Russia. Though told this was prac-
tically impossible and unnecessary
Litvinoff insisted his government must
have this and other information as a
basis for concrete proposals for the
settlement of each case. Finally n
list of the private agricultural claims
of French, British and Belgian ma
tionals vas presented TO him, and the
matter was taken under further con.
s%ideration.
Representatives of large financial
groups have arrived at The Hague,
and 1t may be that Litvlnoff Will be
able to trade a lot of concessions for
private credits and so carry back GER
tain valuable results to Moscow even
If the formal negotiations fall through.

TN HIS Fourth of July speech at
L the celebration in Marion, O., Presi-
dent Harding had some significant
things TO say of the Industrial situa-
ton. For Instance:
"A free American has the right to
labor without any others leave. 1t
would be no less an abridgement to
deny men the right to bargain collec-
lively. Governments can not tolerate
any class or group domination through
force. 1t will be a sorry day when
group domination is reelected in our
laws. Government, and the laws
which government is charged with en-
forcing, must be for all the people,
ever aiming at the common good"
Disclaiming any note of pessimlsm,
he asserted that the republic is secure.
"Menaces do arise" he added, but
public opinion will efface them. Mean
while government must repress them
These of course are truisms, but it
is well that they should be repeated
from time to time by the voice of
highest authority.
General Pershing. who also spoke at
the Marion celebration, IA loudly ap-
plauded when he advocated fearless
use of "the strong arm of the law" in
communities which ''openly sympa-
thlze with ruthless murder of inOf-
fensive people in the exercise of the
right to earn IA livelihood"

sort of baseball war, one be-
tween the promoters Of major league
baseball on the one side and the pro-
fessional players on the other, is
about to set in, if the expressed SEN
timents of magnates here for the

Gay are to be taken seriously.
This sort of war is no new one. 1t
has occurred annually ever since the
netional game was promoted profess
sionally. 1t is the lifelong struggle
between capital, and labor; between
employer and employee. But never in
the history of the frolic have distinc
lions been so closely drawn as now.
Never the issues so clearly cut as TO
demand a real showdown.
Players of real worth are this year
holding out for increases of such pro-
portion as to bring the blush of
"pikerism" to the cheeks of the most
reckless holdout nf former years.

LAKELAND SECONDS LOSE
TO WINTER HAVEN

1t was a disastrous night for the
wearers of the Orange and Black, for
the second team went down to defeat
TO the second team men Of the Winter
Haven High, the score being eleven to
seven. Both teams showed a marked
improvement over their initial start
here two weeks ago and at times,
played even a better game of basket
ball than did the first team.
Captain Butler presented 4 changed
line up in this game and it seemed for
while that the combination would
prove a winner. This bubble burst
as soon as a young man by the name
of Lizzie" Lisengang got the range
on the Lakeland basket, for his shoot
ing was the deciding factor in the
game.
For Lakeland, Butler, Swindell and
Tillis put up the best article of bas-
ket ball.
They lined up as follows:
Lakeland Butler, one free goal,
and Boulware, forwards; Swindell
one free goal, one foul goal, center;
Tillis. one free goal, and Forc,
guards.
Winter Haven: Archord, one free
goal, and Liscgang, three free goals
and one foul goal, forwards; Way one
free goal, center; Moore and Igou'
guards.

Winter HdUen
Beats Lakeland

IN q game that was characterized by
fast floor work and passing, Winter
Haven defeated Lakeland by the score
OF 35-14. The night air was raw and
cold but in spite OF this fact record
crowd was packed around the court.
many of whom were loyal Lakeland
supporters Of the orange and black.
At S:45 the two teams were warm
ing up under the baskets, and the
Icrowd filled with the rivaly of the con
test cheered both teams as they lined
up fer the beginning of the game.
The Lads during the first half were
bothered somewhat by the dim lights
as the local court is brilliant com
pared to the one used last night The
end of the first half found the Lads
without marker while Winter Haven
found the basket for sixteen points
The second half was a different
story with the fighting spirit of the
orange and black predominating. Gil
lespie rang the bell with two long
shots which seem to give the Lads
new life, and they played with a dash
that was totally lacking during the
first half.
For Winter Haven Boland played 4
wonderful game. This blond boy was
all over the court and his basket
shooting was deadly. Marshall also de-
serves honorable mention.
Capt. Parrish put up about as
plucky game as one has ever seen,
and he should have been in bed in
stead of leading his team. last night.
This boy played the second half on
his nerve alone. but he is the kind
that you cant lick
When Gillespie and Monetta got
started they caused Winter Haven Il
lot of trouble and the fourteen points
Lakeland made was due largely to
their efforts. Fraley and Freeman
had tough proposition on their
hands keeping Boland and Marshall
away from the back-boards bHt they
never quite trying for a minute.
The game as a whole was clean
and well played, and the officiating of
Barnes was of the highest order.
Lakeland leaves today for Gaines

highly touted high school team tomor-
row night.
