East Lake, distillers rendezvous,

showing that they had been run

were seen retreating at distance
from some of the stills.

WARREN PRAISES
SMITHS ADDRESS

Asked for his comment on Gov
ernor Smiths acceptance speech,
Congressman Lindsay G. Warren
made public a wire which he sent
at the request of the New York
Times. Mr.. Warren wired the
Times as folloWs:-"Governor
Smith has set at rest the oft re-
peated assertion that he knew
nothing of national affairs. His
great address shows an intimate
grasp of all of the problems of
the day. No one can read the
speech without seeing between
every line the sincerity of the
man, and his hatred of sham and
evasion. Many of his pronounce
ments such as on the tariff and
foreign affairs are far better than
the platform. While there is dis
agreement in the South with
Governor Smiths attitude on
prohibition, Democrats are not
going to leave their party to ac-
cept the mealy mouthed utter
ances of the republican candi-
date who doesn't know yet where
he stands on the question. AS a
whole, the speech is a mastery
effort of a statesman with a ma
tional vision. and is In striking
contrast to the generalities of his
opponent"

OUT GOES THE LIGHT IN
NEUSE FOREST SCHOOL
A Students venture in Liberalism In the Be-
nighted Kingdom of Furnifold;a Comes To
Grief When wv. o." Raises The Wind

New Bern and Craven County,
home of the venerable dictator
FurnifoId NJ. Simmons. where
Prohibition gets its most vigorous
support from moonshinerS anu
bootIeggers grown rich under Vol
steadism, has ta6ooed light in one
institution i'm Craven County that
dared open a window and let in
little light.
Three miles from New Bern on the
road to Morehead City is a co-edu-
cational school known as NeuSe
Forest. a branch of Atlantic Chris
tian College. The faculty and stu
dents of the NeuSe Forest Summer
School made a little venture In
liberalism this summer by inSti-
tuting an open forum.
The students had heard much
about Roman Catholicism from
n-Catholics; they invited Cath
olic priest to tell them about Cath
olicism from the standpoint OF
Catholic. The students had heard
much about Ku Kluckery; they in
vited a Klucker to address them
and do his stuff. To get a Negro'S
slant on the Negro question, they
invited a Negro to speak. Metho-
dists. Baptists, Democrats, Repub-
licans and what not have been given
a respectful hearing at Neusc Forest
The students were getting real en-
tertainment and a liberal education
in what other people think. For IN
a world where one has TO live with
so many people of so many conflict
ing view points, ,ene is terribly
handicapped If one doesn't know
what other people are thinking
about.
But the light of truth and toler-
ance and sympathy that was kind
/ led at NeuSe Forest was not destln-
ed to make much of a blaze. AS
soon as the first flicker Of the new
light began to cast beams upon the
murk of New Bern, a great uneasi-
ness stirred in the innards OF
Kraven Kounty Kluckers, Anti
Saloon I,eaSiiefS and Holy Brethren
generally,
w. O. Saunders, editor Of The In
dependent spoke at Neuse Forest
last week. BY request he gave the
students his views on the present
political campaign. The editor did
not mince words; he spoke frankly
as he writes and paid his respects
in no uncertain terms to the foment-
ors of the outrageous Holy War. He
barely alluded to Craven's hoary
god, the Senior Senator who after
fattening on the Democratic party
for 40 years bolts it the first time
it uses its head ana goes olI Coii-
trary to his orders.
But it was enough to have gone
into the home grounds of Senator
Simmons and raise voice in behalf
of Governor Smith. The audaclty
of the Elizabeth City editor in speak
ing in behalf of Governor Smith
under the nose of the quandam
Democratic Senior Senator-noW
quasi Republican-was too much fol
