TOWNSVILLE POLICEMAN
is KILLED BY NEGRO

Thomasville, N. c., Feb. 6-Po-
liceman Reddick was instantly kill
ed and Detective J. D. Morgan re-
ceived three bullet wounds tonight
from an unidentified negro they
were attempting to arrest.
The slayer, described by eye-wit-
nesses of the shooting as big, yel-
low negro, escaped on foot but at
a late hour tonight, was being pur-
sued by posse estimated at more
than 1000 persons.
AS the news of the Staying spread,
the posse of man-hunters gathered
quickly, coming from High Point,
Lexington and surrounding country
side and bringing their guns along,
The Staying occurred at o'clock
when the two Officers approached
the automobile in which the negro
had driven to town, He opened fire
on them, the first bullet entering
Reddick's heart and killing him in
stantly. Morgan was shot three
times in his leg, arm and side. The
negro jumped from the car and fled.

Republican Dark Horse

A new candidate for the Republi-
can presidential nomination begins
to be mentioned in Washington and
talked of more openly and frequent
ly, say Washington dispatches.
The dark horse is Dwight w.
Morrow, American ambassador to
Mexico. OF Mr.. Morrow a political
writer says: 81 do not know wheth-
er it is just somebody's bright idea
that Mr.. Morrow's extraordinary
success at his diplomatic post makes
him an available candidate at whom
Charles D. Hilles, New York Repub-
ican leader, will grab, or whether
eastern leaders, who desperately need
a candidate are seriously considering
the ambassadors possibilities at a
delegate getter.
"No one else would serve so well
to hold an eastern combination of
states together. Secretary Mellon is
between the devil and the deep sea
if he is forced to choose in the end
between Mr.. Hoover, whom he dis
approves, and Mr.. Dawes, whom
President Coolidge dislikes. In Mr..
Morrow he would have a candidate
who would fit in with his own busi-
ness mans point of, view and who
wocld be at least as much an admin
istration candidate as Mr.. Hoover,
perhaps even more.

POLITICAL EVENTS
OF THE PAST WEEK
Highiight of Political Activity of
Both Major Parties Summarized
From Recent News Dispatches
From Over the Country
McAdoo On Warpath

The attitude of Governor Alfred
E. Smith toward prohibition enforce
ment was directly challenged by
William G. McAdoo in a speech de-
livered in Richmond last Wednesday
night, sounding rallying cry
against the election of any wet to
the presidency.
Making his first public utterance
on the subject since Governor
Smiths boom for the Democratic
presidential nomination assumed its
present proposition, Mr.. McAdoo
contradicted some of his old rivals
recent statements, declaring the
''liquor interests" had captured po-
litical power both in New York and
in Maryland, and argued that to ex-
pect prohibition enforcement from
president hostile to prohibition was
upon it's face an absurdity." He
said the issue was one that must be
fought Ito a conclusion" in the cam
paign of 1928.
''The supreme need is to put law
enforcement in the White House"
said Mr.. McAdoo. Attempt is be-
ing made to convince the country
that no matter if a wet is elected
president, the constitution and laws
will be enforced. This is both un-
sound and untrue. The White
House in the hands of the liquor in
terests would be veritable Gibral-
tar of offense operations and the
, doom of the 18th amendment would
be written boldly upon the face of
the constitution.
The former treasury secretary
made no reference to his own politi-
cal fortunes or to his previous state
ment that he would ''stand aside" in
1928. He made no personal illusions
except to Governor Smith although
he did link the law enforcement
situation in New York with that in
Maryland, whose governor, Albert
c. Ritchie, also is in the running for
the Democratic nomination.
The address was delivered before
law enforcement meeting at Rich
mond to an audience gathered from
the borderland of the dry Demo-
cratic south.

McAdoo Rusty On Constitution"

NASA0oO On constitution
"The gentleman doesn't know his
constitution, was Governor Alfred
E. Smiths laconic comment on the
address delivered by William G. Nc
Adoo at Richmond last Wednesday
night, in which Mr.. McAdoo attack
ed the New York governors atti-
tude on prohibition.
Further than that" the governor
said, "deponent sayeth nothing"
In support of his assertion, the
governor reached across his desk,
took a copy of the constitution of
the United States, turned to Article
Six, Section Two, and read:
This constitution, and the
laws of the United States which
shall be made in pursuance
thereof, and all treaties made,
or which shall be made, under
the authority of the United
States, shall be the supreme law
of the land; and the judges in
every state shall be bound
thereby. Anything in the con-
stitution or laws of any state to
the contrary Notwithstanding"
That" the governor said, facing
Albany correspondents assembled
at the Thursday morning press con-
ference, "disposes of Mr. McAdoo's
argument that the provisions of the
Volstead act are not binding upon
the state OF New York without the
additional enactment of a state pro-
hibition enforcement law"
