The Smith tag was fastened or

all unknown to the Judge and mem
bers of his family who were with
him. The plate was so securely
fastened that the Judge couldn't
get it off and he could find no ons
in Windsor who would produce the
tools to take it off for him. He hao
to ride under the Smith tag TO Eden
ton before he found a mechanic
who would relieve him of the EN-
barrassing emblem.

WHY CATHOLICS WERE LIKE THEY WERE

unbelievers and light up the heavens
with the blazing fat of heretics.
Catholics of the Dark Ages In
inflicting torture and death upon
Protestants we're simply carrying
cut the commands of Jehovah as
laid down to them in the Old Testa-
ment. It is also a fact that Pro-
testants tortured and burned Cath
olics at the stake every chance they
got, but being outnumbered ten to
one by Catholics, the Catholics ex-
Celled them in the bloody business.
mo Protestant who accepts the
Old Testament as the infallible
Word of God has any right to con-
denim the Catholics for any'thing
they did back in the Dark Ages
when religious fanatics in their
ignorance believed in the wrathful
Old Testament deity and thought
that the surest way to please God
was to build a bonfire under every
poor devil who didn't agree with
them.
But for the progress OF science
and education the Protestants now
in the majority in America would be
as ruthless in their treatment Of
their opponents as the Catholics of
the Dark Ages were.
Take this thought home with
you, get your Old Testament down,
knock the dust and Cobweb5 oil 1t
and read the books of Numbers, the
books of Kings and the rest of it, If
you can stand it. You will not find
a single crime charged against the
Roman Catholic Church of antiquity
that wasn't sanctioned or command
ed by the Old Testament.
What makes me- hot all over is
to see a Protestant rlini1try to-day
| insisting that the Old Testament is
the infallible Word of God and then
condemning their co-religionistS of
another denomination for having
once acted like hellians in their
fanatical zeal to carry out the man
dates of that same Old Testament" T."

Now let's see if I get just what

well. if you start anything like
that Max Gardner will be out OF
luck in this neck of the woods, for
I would certainly have to scratch
that bird.
ut seems to me that things are
getting more and more mixed up IN
this campaign. 1 listen to the
preachers and they say they are
fighting Smith because he is wet
and that his religion has nothing to
do with their opposition. But pick
I'D their church papers and tlnd
them giving the Catholics hell. And
some of the things they say the
Catholics did to Protestants back IN
the Dark Ages sound pretty bad. !

used to torture Protestants and Kill
them by the thousandS?'

fact that Roman Catholic author

Back in the Dark Ages, before
education and science had opened

most impressive lessons were those

Months ago this newspaper

League movement and insisted
that the Anti Smith movement in
the South was at the bottom OF 4

the ministers are lining up for the
nominee of the party that has
been hostile to the South for more
than seventy years.

Smith Democrats in Perquimans
County, having waited in vain for
the regular party organization to
bestir itself in behalf of the ma
tioral ticket, will meet in the
courthouse in Hertford tonight
to form a Smith Robinson Club.
The Anti-Smith forces in Perqui-
mans are stronger than in any other
county in the district and have mill
tant leaders in T. G. Perry, r. L.
Knowles, an old time Democratic
politician for the men and Mrs.
George T. Hawkins. prominent w. c.

backed by the Ku Klux Klan and

others.

turns against it after having found
other sources of income.

Euclid Height
Folks Red Hot

Residents of Euclid Heights. a
subdivision of Elizabeth City are
up in arms. The State Board of
Health has ordered them to get
rid of their ground privies and
provide their premises with pit
type privies to be approved by the
State Board.
The Euclid HeighterS are city tax
payers and think the city shoIrd
extend them sewerage. The Public
Utilities Commission has been tell
ing them it didn't have funds with
which to make the extension. But
this newspaper let rather black
cat out of the bag last week when
it disclosed the fact that the Public
Utilities Commission had promised
to provide the city with funds to
acquire additional right of way and
pave Elizabeth Street.
Euclid Heighters want to know
how it comes about that Public
Utilities Commission that can't give
them sewerage, can find money to
open up new streets And they are
saying Some pretty harsh things
about DR.. A. L. Pendleton, chairman
of the Public Utilities Commission
who is the owner of about 200 feet
of property that would be enhanced
in value by the proposed Elizabeth
Street improvement. They are even
so rude as to ask the question:
Would Dr.. Pendleton be 81 inter
ested in the improvement OF Eliza
beth Street at the expense Of city
electric light and water consumers.
if he were not personally interested
in Elizabeth Street,"
Of added interest is threat upon
the part of Euclid Heighters to en-
ioin the city from taking Public
Utilities funds to make street i'm
provements until all desirable sew
erage extensions have been made.

'PARTY'S TRUST

With a county chairman who Is
said to have called his county
committee together and told them
to work for the State ticket but do
nothing about the national ticket,
Gates County is in fair way to
20 a Hoovering in the November
election if the younger Democrats
of the county can't save it.
The county chairman of Gates Is
State Senator T. w. Costen. Gates
County Democrats who are anxious
to wear Smith Robinson buttons
md circulate Smith literature, say
hat buttons and literature sent to
Mr.. Costen have been destroyed OF
se2t under cover. Costen is out and
out against Smith and yet holds on
20 the county Craftsmanship.
There is much illiteracy, much
Ignorance and much Ku Kluckery in
Gates. Rural preachers in Gates
have conducted bitter pulpit and
whispering campaign against Smith
for months. The Democracy OF
Gates is in a sad plight and the
Hooverites have been greatly stimu-
lated by MAJ Gardeners repeated
declarations that it will be all right
with him if they knife the national
ticket. just so they vote for him and
his crowd.
Smith Democrats in Gates this
week, despairing of square deal at
the hands of their established Or
genization, started a movement to
organize 4 Slnith-RobinScn club to
work independent Of and in spite
of the Hooverizcd committee headsd

year-old son of wv. o., took a
notion to visit his girl in San An
tonic, Tex. Leaving home on Aug.
81 ostensibly to visit friends in
Hamlet. the boy Lit out for Texas
with S20.50 in his pockets.
Some place in Alabama he lost
his travelling bag. Landing in New
Orleans the latter part of last week
he counted his change and found
that he couldn't buy clean duds to
spruce up for the girl in Texas if
he went that far. so he turned
around and bummed his way back
to North Carolina. arriving in Gas

S. to the old man for funds.
And the old man said that If the
youngster could bum his way to New
Orleans and back to North Carolina
that he certainly should be able to
bum the rest of the distance back
home.
Meager reports from the boy
who hasn't got home yeti are tina
he had no difficulty in getting
transportation all the way to New
Orleans by picking rides with tour
lists and travellers. So much did the
boy learn in his first year at the
University of North Carolina.
Keith had never seen the girl in
Texas and hasn't seen her yet. She
saw his picture in a magazine arti-
Gle several years ago. wrote him a
letter. sent him her photo and they
have been corresponding ever since
