Wages Fight Against Unem-
Hoyment And Depression.
Salisbury North Carolina,
March $, 1892.


To the Editor:
During the war many seemingly un-
surmountable obstacles were overcome
through the mobilization of not only
the man power of our country, but
through the mobilization of industries,
organizations and the united efforts of
our individual citizens.
Today National Commander Stew
ems of the American Legion and the
National Unemployment Committee
has declared hat a state of war now
exists and have declared war against
unemployment and depression. To
combat this common enemy today,
our National Organization is mobiliz-
ing the man power of our country,
along with Industry and various Or
CARNATIONS, and asks hat each indi-
vidual do his "bit" to bring about the
return of a sound economic condition
by giving employment to as many as
each individual or organization posi-
bly, car.
The Samuel C. Hart Post of the
American Legion has organized to car
ry through locally the campaign
against unemployment and depression
as has ten thousand other Posts
throughout the Nation. individuals are
being asked to help by having neces-
sary work and repairs done at home.
Industries and Manufacturers are ask
ed to keep their plants running as near

The past is naught to us, the present
all.
What need of last years leaves to strew
Loves bed?
What need of ghosts to grace a fes-
tival?
l would not, if I could, those days re-
call,
Those days not ours. For us the feast
is spread,
The lamps are lit, and music plays
withal.
Then let us love and leave the rest
unsaid.
This island is our home. Around it
Great CULTS and oceans, channels,
straits and seas.
What matter in what wreck we reach

So we both reached it? We can mock
at these.
Oh! leave the past if past indeed

Hon. O. Max Gardner,
Governor of North Carolina.

My dear Governor:
With your approval, as I under
stand, the legislature Of 1881 made
provision whereby state income tax-
payers could have the option of pay
ing in W semi-annual installments
instead of paying the entire annual
tax at one time-on or before March
IS. The act provides, however, that
this accommodation shall be extended
only to those whose income tax is 500
or more.
1t would be a popular move on your
part, l am sure, if you would recon-
mend to the next General Assembly,
the members of which will be nomi-
mated within three months, that pro-
vision be made to extend the same

GOVERNOR MATTHEW Rowan

To the People of North Carolina:
While North Carolina thus far has
escaped the alarming wave of kidnap-
ings which recently has been sweep
ing the country, the rapid increase in
this type of crime inspires the fear
that this state may not long remain
free from the activities of those who
steal children for gain. Overshadowed
by the Lindbergh case and receiving
comparatively little attention, other
serious instances of kidnapping occur
red the past week in other states chan
New Jersey.
The time has come when every state
should have strong anti-kidnaping
laws carrying severe penalties, even
the death sentence, for the more ag-
gravated cases. kidnapping, in many
instances, is just as grave an offense
against society as murder, and in some
cases worse. My suggestion is that the
people of North Carolina let the can-
didates for membership in the leglsla-
ture know between now and the pri-
mary, June 4, that they desire such a
law passed, so that the next General
Assembly will recognize the demand
and act accordingly.

To the PROPERTY OWners

AS the spring season approaches, It
IS time TO co1sider clean up, paint up

There is enough work that needs to
be done, such as remodeGng, repairing,
repainting and cleaning up residence
property and vacant lots, to give en-
ployment to many idle men, if only
the owners could be induced to have
it done now. All such jobs can be done
at exceptionally low cost, saving mon

work to those in dire need of it, and
also benefiting the community by
making the city more attractive. Ev-

tribute a share to the benefit of the

is the closest distance to the mile

'BAMBINO' SAYS
new YORK WILL
TAKE PENNANT

NEW YORK, June %. U.Pl-Babe
Ruth believes the New York
Yankees have lust about" won the
American league pennant, and he
has eliminated the Philadelphia
Athletics as a possible threat"
Unless something mighty unex-
pected happens, it looks as though
the Yanks will sail right through
on top this season." he said
"The American league fight now
seems to be for second place, with
the Senators, Athletics, Detroit,
Cleveland and even the st. Louis
Browns battling for that position.
81 don't think the Athletics have
a chance to reach the top any more.
They've lost 80 games, and the sea-
son isn't quite half over. That S
not pennant-winning baseball. And
I have no reason to believe that
they'll improve"
The Babe said excellent pitching
was responsible for much of the
Yankees success. Joe Mccarthy
has four dependable pitchers whom
lie can rotate with almost certain
success, Ruth pointed out. They
are Lefty Gomez, Charley Ruffing,
John Allen and George Pipgras.
Five of us are hitting over 1873,
the Bambino continued. "Gehrig,
,Lazzeri, Dickey, Combs and myself.
But none of us is hitting up to
normal, Perhaps well snap out of
1t soon. If we do, there1l be lot
OF space between the Yanks and
whatever team finishes second"
No Fortune Teller
When asked to pick the winner
of the National league race, the
Babe growled: What do I LOOK
like-a fortune teller?"
The AS replaced the idle WASH
ington Senators in third position
by taking two games yesterday
from Boston, Is to and 9 to 4.
Roy johnson, outfielder for the Sox,
connected for three home runs in
the two contests.
Detroit strengthened its hold on
second place by downing the Chi
cago White Sox, 9 to 3. st. Louis
at Cleveland was washed out. They
were the only games scheduled.
The Chicago Cubs lost a chance
to regain the lead in the National
league by losing to the st. Louis
Cardinals, to /.
Philadelphia at Boston was
played in a double-header Sunday,
as was Pittsburgh at Cincinnati.
They were the only games sched-
uled.

League Scores

Nine game series this week may
provide several changes in the Pa
cific coast league standings.
The two extra games will be
played as Fourth of July attrac-
tions next Monday, the day the
teams ordinarily are travelling.
Interest this week will focus on
the Portland aggregation. The
Ducks plugged up the holes in their
bats last week and battered the
squirting San Francisco Seals back
into third place. A couple of de-
feats handed Hollywood by Oakland
over the weekend put the Ducks
one game behind the league leading
Stars.
Should Sacramento hand Holly
wood a few drubbings in their long
series at Los Angeles the Web Feet
may get a glimpse of first place
Portland tackles Los Angeles at
Portland this week.
The third place Seals move up to
Seattle this week. Three and a
half games out of first place, San
Francisco may get their bats going
again and further tighten the con-
test for league leadership.
Oakland moved across the bay
to engage the Missions in a neigh
borhood series. The feature of this
series will be the efforts of Oscar
Eckhart, husky Missions outfielder,
to continue his safe hitting record.
He has hit safely in 20 consecutive
games and hopes to surpass the
league record of Jack Ness, Oak
land first baseman, who hit safely
in 49 straight games in 1915.
