Enthusiastic Catherine
of Democrats Saturday
Largely
Cameron Morrison Talks of Program of North
Carolina; Asks for o Party on . ord

North Carolin 81 d called upon all
Democrats to old the hands of
'that chamJ Of Democracy who
more than ne else during the
World w aided the matchless
Woodrow SON." Congressman Bob
Doughto- IS dubbed by the ex-gov-
ernor as ''tnat stalwart mountaineer,
clear-headed stout-hearted and a
champion of the people"
In nothing does the Morrison en-
thusiasm reach so high as in the mat
ter of progress in North Carolina and
its rapid strides toward undisputed
leadership at the head of the states
of the union.
Governor Morrison thinks the
growth and prosperity in all lines in
North Carolina is the reflection of
clean, competent administration by
the Democratic party. He said the
progress of the state is not attribut-
able to any one man, either Aycock,
Glenn, Beckett, Kitchin, Craig, him
self or anybody else. st is the fruits
OF years Of the Democratic party"
he declared. land it is party which
the masses of the people may always
look for fair and just treatment"
Governor Morrison strongly de
Tended the state educational system.
SILLY and foolish" he termed the
criticism of Republicans against it.
why, we spend more now on the
education of the negroes of the state
than the state was spending when
Governor Aycock came in," he de-
clared, "and down here in the good
county of Wilkes the state is spending
back more money than was spent for
the whole state when the Republicans
went out of power" he continued
"The Program of Progress" which
brought the state out of the mud and
gave it the splendid system of high
ways, is credited as Morrison
achievement, was only slightly touch
ed upon by the ex-governor. He gave
due credit to the Republicans who
aided in instituting the good roads
movement and he laid it to their
patriotic devotion to the state at a
time when he begged for the laying
aside of partisanship and the united
effort for the common good and the
common veal
Governor Morrison closed his ad-
dress with an appeal to the young
Republicans to iOin the Democratic
party where their 'progressiveness
will count" And to the young Demo-
Gratis he said, "Take on new enthu-
siasm and go out to work for your
party. Next to your church it is the
noblest duty you can perform"

FARMERS TO GROW MINT IN
WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA

The following article by S. J. Kir-
by. Extension Agronomist, will be
of interest to people of Watauga
County:
The Wick Chemical Company, with
its head offices in Greensboro,
through its research department, dur
ing the past two years, has carried
on considerable experimental work
with mint growing in the western
part of the state The results so far
obtained in this work indicate that
high oil content mint plants can be
successfully and economically pro-
duced on the moist, fertile soils at
high elevations.
Heretofore large importations of
mint oil have been made annually
from foreign countries to be used in
the domestic drug business. Accord
ing to G. R. Russell, director of the
research department for the Wick
Chemical Company, the indications
that this material can be produced
profitably by the farmers of the
mountain counties of North Carolina.
1t will take few years to estab-
lish the crop, to find the best meth
DDS of culture, and to put it on a
practical basis.
Several small plots have been
started near Boone, Watauga Coun-
ty. The work is still in the expert
mental stage, but the prospects point
to its success and increasing impor-
tance.
For some years mint for flavoring,
peppermint, has been produced in the
northeastern section of this state, es-
pecially in Currituck County. But
for the production of high-oii-bearing
mint, which differs materially from
mint, cool climate, moist
and fertile soil seem to be necessary.
These essential conditions are found
in right combination in the mountain
counties.
There is already considerable in
terest in this new money crop on the
part of the farmers in the sections
where the experimental plots are To-
Gated.

HON. R. L. DOUGHTON HEARD
BY LARGE CROWD MONDAY
Is Standing for Reelection On
His Record

Hon. Robert L. Doughton, candi-
date to succeed himself in congress
from the eighth North Carolina dis
trict, spoke to crowd that taxed the
capacity of the Watauga county
courthouse here Monday at noon.
Mr.. Doughton spoke for about an
hour and held the close attention of
his auditors. He reviewed, in very
forceful manner, the record of the
Democratic party, impressing the
vital Legislative measures which have
been enacted by that party in COM
parison with those of the Republican
party. He referred especially to
such laws as the Federal Reserve sys-
tenn. the Farm Loan law, the public
highway act, the banking law and the
parcel post law. Mr.. Doughton said
the nation had agreed to take over
and improve 100000 miles of high
ways and that 10000 miles had
been completed and that the remain
der would be.
Mr.. Doughton discussed the fl
nancial matters of the country and
showed that what purported to be
economy in the national administra-
tion was really not economy, as the
government was spending more mon
ey now by many millions than during
other recent years under normal con-
ditiOns. He said the government
last fiscal year exceeded that of 1916
by $7SS,0O0.00O.
Agricultural conditions throughout
the country was considered by the
eighth district congressman, and call
ed attention to the fact that the Re-
publican party refused to pass !egisla-
tion during the recent session of con-
gress to relieve farming cond 'tions.
Mr.. Doughton recounted the bene-
fetal legislation he had supported N
congress and asked the people to con-
sider his record, as he was standing
for re vieCtion on that rsco"d.

BLOWING ROCK BAPTIST
CHURCH LIQUIDATES DEBT

Last Sunday morning at the regu-
lar service at the Blowing Rock Bap-
tist church, notes against the new
church building amounting to ST.
92795 were burned. 1t was an occa-
sion Of great rejoicing for the Blow
ing Rock Baptists to realize that their
beautiful house of worship was free
from debt. More than $4,000 was
raised on the fifth Sunday when DR..
James l. Vance preached. Last week
the remainder was raised. Mr.. J. F.
Brown proposed to the church that he
would give $1,000 of the amount if
the church would raise the remain
der The challenge was accepted and
now the church is free of debt, with
the exception of about two years of
building and loan stock with payments
of 500 per month. This the church
can easily carry, or may possibly pay
the entire amount by Christmas.
The only need now to make the
little church complete in every detail
is a heating plant. 1t is believed
that there is not Baptist living in
Blowing Rock who did not contribute
TO the erection of the building, and
others in different parts of this state
and elsewhere aided literally.
Rev. F. NJ. Higgins, pastor of the
church, said this week: "The church
is grateful to all who contributed.
The Baptist church extends well
come to al! Baptists living in Blow
ing Rock and to all others sojourning
there to worship with u.s."
