NEGRO, SOUGHT
ACQUITTAL BECAUSE
HE WAS DEMOCRAT

A note Of high comedy was struck
in the Rowan County Court recently
when Ernest Bailey, an aged negro,
wa arraigned before Judge Gooch on
the charge of being drunk and disor-
derby.
After the State of North Carolina
had made out its case against the de-
PENDANT the latter took the stand in his
own defense and put ON a regular
Amos and Andy show.
He first stated to the court that he
was a Democrat and ought not to have
been arrested. He said he had told the
local officers that he was going to vote
for Franklin D.. Roosevelt but that
they locked him up anyway. When
asked as to why he was a Democrat
he replied that the Republicans in one
of the mountain counties had once had
him in Jail for a year:
His Honor asked the defendant if
he had not filled up on bay rum but
the latter replied: mo, Sab, I jest had
a little of what they calls good natured
alcohol"
The aged prisoner explained on cross
examination that he knew many of the
prominent political leaders in the state
and particularly mentioned Hon. BOZ
Reynolds of Asheville, candidate for
the United States Senate, with whom
he said he had been reared. He admit
ted that in Hickory he had beer
known as "Father Abraham" but that
he was no kin to the Bible character
of the same name.
Prosecuting Attorney ]. Allan Dunn
asked Bailey if he also knew President
Hoover and the defendant fired back;
Lord No, l sure don't know him.
The old colored fellow was found gull
ty and assigned to the county work
house for fifteen days.

Suspected of belonging to Union.
The state is c%ontending that this dis
charge ticket was signed by G. A.
Hamrick, an overseer of the mill.
Should the state be successful in
proving its contentious, this mill COM
pany will be guilty of violating the
state law as under the law they have
no right to discriminate against a
member of a labor organization and
should a victory be gained through
this criminal action procedure it is
probable that a civil suit will be en-
tered.

interest of the Ex-service men of
Rowan County,.

The Samuel C. Hart Post American
Legion held a call meeting Thursday
night, March 31st, for the purpose of
organizing the Flag Escort, and out
lining plans for the coming season,
This meeting was we'll attended and
the majority of those who were mem
bers last year were there and signi-
fled their intention of participating
again this year. Many new men were
out also and the Escort bids fair to get
well started at an early date. The mat
ter of an invitation to attend he Spring
Jubilee at Kinston, which is an annual
affair of that city was discussed and
approved by the entire membership
present. The Escort will attend this
Jubilee on April 21st and take part
in the celebration as a unit. By vote Of
the membership it was agreed to start
drilling Immediately, and the first
drill was held Monday night, April 4th,
at the Innes St. school The next meet
ing night will be Thursday P. NJ. for
the music section at the club rooms,
and Friday P. M. at the Innes St.
school for the Flag Section, be there.
Any paid up member of the Legion is
eligible and desirable for the Escort.
come out join up and join in the fun.
If you can play any musical instru-
ment you are doubly desired as the
music section needs more men and
more talent.
1t was decided by vote to hold the
next regular meeting which will be
Tuesday night, April 18th, at peeler's
lake, on the Albemarle road, neal
Granite Quarry. This event will be
staged for the express purpose of meet
ing the ex-service men of the Eastern
section of the county, getting better
acquainted with each other and inter
esting those men who have never be-
longed to the Legion in our work and
organization. This meeting will be OPP
ened promptly at 7:3o P. M. and after
a very short business session will ad-
journ for entertainment and refresh
ments. At this time a barbecue and
drinks will be served to all members
and guests, and there will be no charge
for any thing, which is in keeping
with the custom of the local post in
affairs of this kind. Ex-service men
who have never belonged to the Legion
are especially urged to attend, and we
assure them of a pleasant evening, an
interesting program and some warm
fellowship. Come out and join us,
make yourself known and the gang
from Salisbury will do the rest.
Don't forget, buddies, that we have
set our hearts on making Bryce Park
er Beard the next State Commander,
and we will do just that if every man
does his part. Come out, come in and
get busy, Bryce Beard or Bust. Several
Posts throughout the state have gone
on record as favoring the candidacy of
Mr.. Beard, and we are assured of a
victory if each loyal Legionnaire and
ex-service man of Rowan county does
all that he may. And of course that
includes joining the Legion, and get
ting behind Bryce Beard now and
working for all we are worth.

BEAN, CLEMENT,
GRAHAM ENTER
ASSEMBLY RACES

Three candidates announced durins
the week for seats in the General As.
sembly. They were: J. w. Bean, house
Hayden Clement, senate, and w. D
Graham, house.
Mr.. Bean is storehouse foreman fo1
the Southern Railway company al
Spencer and is secretary of the Rowan
County Democratic Executive Com.
mittee. Mr.. Bean has never held pub.
lie office in Rowan county and hi!
announcement marks his entrance into
county politics.
Mr.. Clement, prominent Salisbury
attorney and former solicitor of thu
district, is seeking reelection, being al
present a member of the senate.
w. D. Graham is a master farmer
of Mt. Ulla township. Mr.. Graham
has served as a member of the boare
of county commissioners several term
and is we'll known in Salisbury ane
throughout the county.
Mr.. Bean, in announcing his can.
didacy, set forth the following state.
ment:
Ito the citizens of Rowan county
l present myself a candidate for thu
state legislature CLOVER house,, sub.
ject to Democratic primary.
II shall deeply appreciate whatever
efforts the voters may make in as
surfing my nomination. At the same
time | am not unmindful of the re.
sponsibility that goes with the office
and the great problems that are to b'
solved by the next legislature. 1t will
be my aim and purpose to render
whatever service l can, if l am sen
to Raleigh from Rowan county tt
serve in capacity of representative, ane
whatever matter concerns the citi
zens of Rowan county will be my con.
Germ and interest.
eff | should have or advocate any
sort of platform, | think l would try
to be in accord with my constituency
and have at least one broad plank If
it that l would call Economy
1.-THE present property tax for the
support of the constitutional schoo
term will in all probability be abol-
ished, but that will not end the ta1
fight. In taxation l would treat a five
hundred home, farm or business, anc
a million dollar corporation exactly
alike If it barely pays the living ex-
pense of the ones that do the work,
believe it should not be crippled or pu,
out of business by taxation; but if i,
is piling up wealth for a few while en-
joying conditions that others do not
have it should pay taxes in proportion
cit has been said that farmers, small
business men and laborers-in North
Carolina are not taxed heavy, and my
answer to it is that if you tax a man
ten dollars whose net income is only
five dollars or nothing, you tax him
more heavily han you do John D
Rockefeller, who pays his income tax
with a single check for twenty mil
lion dollars"

New Haven. Jan 8.--A new tech nique that permits winter opera liens in control of the white pine blister rust, Is now in use in the town of Cornwall. It Is described in the annual report of J. F.. Riley, Jr, of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment station, who Is In charge of the blister rust control.
 Entrenched In the Litchfeld Hills. the fungus requires constant vigilance to keep 1t from consum- ing the white pine as the blight destroyed the chestnut. The great difference in the two deadly dis eases from the owners point of view Is that q control exists for the blister rust. Spread of the blister rust may be prevented by doing away with entrants and gooseber- ries, on which it must live before 1t can infect the trees.
 Last summer q crew of 12 men with an overseer and cock camped In Salisbury and pulled S2,756 of these bushes. which would be capable of injecting all surrounding white pines. A fourth of all these pines under 20 rect high in this town are already dis eased and will die.
 It Is expected that more worH will be accomplished with the same funds on the new plan, which in- wolves n survey before the crew enters q white pine region. A map will be made of the forests. and blocks of pine where there Is no immediate danger of the disease will be marked. This may be done

Control drinking by temperance education, through public health and welfare agencies and public schools.
 The Women's Orga nization for National Prohibition Reform does not want the return of the saloon. They do not want more liquor They want more liquor control. more respect for law, more hon. esty in government; they want to bring up their children in sur- roundings conducive to temperance and straightforward, self respect- ing American citizens. According to Mrs Sabin. national chairman of the organization, Prohibition Is logically woman's cause. for na- tional prohibition is the first fed eral experiment in socia' legisla- ton which has failed disastrously and brought in its wake social conditions which directly threaten youth and the home."

Hard to Distinguish Identifying Marks as Cars Speed Past-Motor Vehicle Department Experimenting With Arrangement on One Year Basis

viewing them at a short distance it is hard to distinguish the letters. KC, KO, KG and others become confusing. What will be the dif- ficulty by summer time when the markers have lost their freshness and rush and dirt mar their bright ness.
 It is also well known fact that for various reasons many motor- ists object to the combination of letters. They savor of well known advertisements, PA, 80, Ko." and what not, but the police are not taking into consideration personal likes of favorite letters or num- bers. They are looking at the proposition from the angle of iden- tifcation and many of the cops feel that before 1892 Is complet- ed there will be a popular sanction of a plan to substitute more practical arrangement. ..t.. .,...
 It will be year of experiment with the prospects of the state mo- tor vehicle department learning public reaction to the arrangement in more ways than one.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-01-09

After a weeks experiment with 1932's motor vehicle markers what is your reaction to the single and double-letter plan of Identification? Most of privately owned vehicles have the desired three numerals but do they tend to aid or to ham, per one in catching them as ma chimes pass by owing to the accom- panying letters?
 These are two questions of pop ular interest not only among mo- torists, but police authorities and officials of the state motor vehicle department for the plan Is practi- caily nothing less than an experi- ment.
 Tn police circles the answer may prove a surprise to many. Most of the cops dislike them. They arc not practical. They may satisfy some operators who have q hank ering for small license plates. but they tend to serve the meanest of all drivers-the would-be hit-and- run operator.
