TODAY'S HOROSCOPE

March %, 1775-Is life so dear, or
peace so sweet, as to be purchased
at the price of chains and slavery?
Forbid it, Almighty God. I know
not what course others may take; but
as for me, give me liberty or give
me DEATH" With such words, 80
year-old Patrick Henry who twas
not of Irish ancestry angrily sought
to bestir members of the provincial
convention at Richmond. They had
been Indifferent to resolution prov1d-
ing for organization of Virginia mill
tia and defenses.
March %, 189O-The United States
and Italy were brought close to war.
A New Orleans mob, when jury fall
ed to convict 10 Italians accused OF
the murder of policeman, dragged
II of them from Jail and lynched
them. A New Orleans grand jury
refused to indict any of the mobsters,
the federal government was unable to
intervene, and Italy broke off diplo-
matte relations.
March %, 1923-Sarah Bernhard
died at 49, sixty-one years after she
was told by doctors that she would
die within a few months. She was
buried in a coffin she had carried
with her for years. She kept it at
the foot of her bed wherever her
stage tours took her. Frequently she
slept in it!

NO SINGING
THERE, OLIVE SAYS
If There Be Any in Guber-
material Drive, 1t Won't
Come From Hoey
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In The Sir Walter Hotel,
- TlACV[ ERVILE,

Raleigh. March 23.-If there is go
ing to be any mud-slinging In the
campaign for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor, it will not come
from the headquarters of Clyde H.
Hoey, his campaign manager, Hubert
Olive, of Lexington, said today.
1--WE are for Clyde r. Hoey and not
against anybody" Campaign Manager
Olive said "This is a Democratic pri-
mary campaign, a sort of family af-
fair. The idea is to choose a nominee
who in the November election will
have the support of all the Demo
Gratis, regardless of who they support
ed in the primary.
1--WE believe, of course, that Mr..
Hoey will be that nominee. But ii
some other candidate should get the
nomination, he, of course, will get our
full support in the campaign between
the primary and the November cleo
ton.
Mud singers may call themselves
Democrats, but the fact remains that
they are in reality the best friends
the Republican party has and that
every time they hurl wad of mud
the Republicans applaud vigorously.
They know that the more dissatisfac-
ton a candidate can stir up among
the border-line Democrats, the better
the chances of the Republicans be-
come"
New to the Statewide political cam
paign, Manager Olive did not have as
wide an acquaintance in eastern
North Carolina as did some Of Mr..
Hoey's other advisers. Yet in the week
or so Olive has been here in charge
of the Hoey headquarters, he has
made a distinctly favorable impress
sion upon those who have called at
the headquarters. He has a frankness
that is distinctly refreshing in a field
not too crowded with those who say
what they mean in words that can
easily be understood.
Olive did not mention any names,
of course, in connection with his
statement about mud-slinging. It is
believed that he might have had Or.
Ralph w. Mcdonald of Winston
Salem in mind however, since Dr.
Mcdonald is basing a large part of
his campaign upon opposition to the
record of the Democratic party in the
State during the last two administra-
tons and is promising that if elected
governor, he will appoint "honest"
men to office.
Henderson daily dispatch., 1936-03-23

New York, March 23-Much pother

Village complexion about the Drama
fists Guild" newest attempt to make
mediocrity profitable.
Until someone points out to me the
writer of a smash-hit play who is
living in perjury because of the exac-
lions of the cruel producer, I shall re-
main skeptical. I have never known a
talented writer, or even a workman
like, diligent writer who didn't get
his deserts soon or late. But I have
known lot of purple pretenders who
would be glad to get a few first-rat-
ers to "organize" with them so that
their unsavory typings could be mer-
chandized at more than the market
On the other hand the road to
Broadway is Uttered with the finan-
cial skeletons of innocent producers
inveigled into investing good money
in bad plays.
