Historic old Abingdon Church,
lighted with cathedral candles, was
decorated in white and green. Easter

in containers on the end of each pew,
and large bowls of the same flowers
were placed in each Of the deep-set
windows of the church. Garlands of
Southern Smilax and huckleberry
foliage formed background, and the
chancel was banked with white fiow-
ers and green. Both brides wore white
satin gowns fashioned along princess
lines and carried shower bouquets of
gardenias and lilies of the valley.
Their tulle wells fell from beneath
coronets of rose point lace and covered

sy the Associated Press.


Directors of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States decided
today to investigate the possible use
of State compacts to attain "substan-
tial uniformity in regulating industry
working conditions.
The directors. adopting program
for "the formulation and effectuation
Of national policies which may con-
tribute to economic recovery and in
creased employment" also reiterated
their opposition to "extravagance" in
both Federal and local expenditures.
The program, which did not refer
TO the Supreme Court decisions void
ing N. r. A., the Guffey coal act and
the New York minimum wage law,
called for exploration of the posi-
bilities of utilizing compacts among
the States directly for control OF
utilization of natural resources and
for dealing with conditions of work
for employees in production, in order
that in this regard there may be sub
stantial uniformity among competing
States"
Referring to the new Federal law
10 restrict price advantages to chain
stores and to recent State legislation,
the directors said these may very
well influence commerce and distri-
button in unexpected ways which will
affect adversely both the public inter-
est and the interest of private enter
prises."
The directors decided to ask the
opinion of the chambers membership
on such legislation.
Reminding that President Roose-
velts power to regulate the currency
expires next January, the directors
also decided to study monetary policy.
Other subjects set down for a fu-
ture expression of opinion were the
present social security program, Gov
ernment competition with private in

ucts, merchant marine legislation,

tive activities, State legislation for

fighting for the British, surrendered.
The 400 men he commanded, chiefly
Virginians, were defeated and forced
to capitulate at FIT. Necessity, in
Pennsylvania, by French and Indians
led by M. de Villiers.
Washington was so distressed over
his action that when he got back to
Virginia he offered his resignation as
colonel of Virginia militia TO the House
of BurgesseS.
On the 10Th anniversary of his sur
render, he took command of the Con-
tinental Army to fight the British.

MIR. WRIGHT WRITES AGAIN.

To the Editor:
One of the greatest men this world
has produced, speaking of the trying
hours when our forefathers were
fighting to free this country from the
despotism of king, said: "These are
times to try mems SOULS" Whether
the average man realizes it or not
just such times are here now. There
is conflict on in our country today
fraught with far greater importance
than any we have had since the agent
of the English King gave his sword
TO an American general and acknowl-
edged thereby he was defeated in
keeping America slave nation.
For many years after that glorious
victory at Yorktown this was happy
and contented people, but ere long a
few self seeking men succeeded in
getting control of the money-the life
blood of any people-and our troubles
began and have increased until today
80 out of every hundred in this vast
country are more slave than were our
forefathers under the tyrannical rule
of old King George the third.
The word slave" means; one who
labOrs as in bondage. Don't take my
word for our country being full of
slaves but just look around and be
convinced. Some may ask why these
slaves? Just because a few selfseeking
lazy men found out they could put
men in office who would do their
bidding and they could thereby fix
the laws so, the few rich, would reap
all the benefits of Government.
All this noise we hear in North Car
DINA these days about the office of
governor is caused by the rich slave
owners. They want nothing done that
will give these poor farmers and
workers any chance to get their share
of the benefits of our Government.
They want to keep things as they are.
When the rich men want any thing
done they get a lawyer to do it. Our
State Legislature has been owned and
controlled by lawyers since the good
old days, when justice walked the
earth, and we know the consequence.

state, fearing some months ago that

RUMORS ABOUT MCDONALD


To the Editor:
The voters of Raleigh have been
completely satisfied with political
rumors the past three months MANY
of these rumorS proved to be ground
less upon investigation but some of
them stood up under analysis.
The latest and most startling rum
ors to hit Raleigh started in the
last forty-eight hours. According to
this rumor, DR.. Ralph Mcdonald has
now become convinced that his de-
feat on July the Fourth by Hon.
Clyde p. Hoey, is inevitable and inn
mediately after the Primary he will
announce his intention to run for the
governorship as an independent can
didate in the general election next
November.
1t is also 1umored the Doctor will
again have the support of the Raleigh
News and Observer and the Winston
Salem Journal in his independent
BIZ: for the governorship of North
Carolina. This may be merely a ru-
NOR but it is being discussed by the
followers of Doctor Mcdonald in this
community very freely
IL II1ele 10 even InOUlCum OF truth
in this latest rumor, it is no credit
to DR.. Mcdonald and his organiza-
ton. Reports from sources that have
been found reliable in the past, indi-
cate the matter of running independ-
ent in the event of his defeat at the
polls has certaily been seriously dis
cussed and considered The charac-
ter of campaign conducted by Doc
tor Mcdonald the past four weeks
lends color to the presumption that
he has very definitely removed him
self from among the loyal and regu-
lar Democrats of North Carolina and
in future he may be expected to ar
ray himself along side of the enc
mics of the Democratic party.
