State Senate
Race May Be
Inquired Into
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In The Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 22.-One of the most
interesting, though unverified from
any official source, reports reaching
this bureau recently is to the gen
eral tenor and effect that Senator
Morris Sheppard's campaign investi-
eating committee is sending an inves-
tigator into North Carolina to probe
alleged intimidation" of H. r. Brown
Winston-Salem man who filed for the
Forsyth seat in the State Senate and
later withdrew.
Back in April your correspondent
wrote Mr.. Brown asking his reasons
has never been answered, and so far
as has come to public attention the
Winston-Salem man has made no pub
lie claim that he was intimidated by
any one or that his withdrawal was
other than entirely voluntary. 1t was
generally assumed that the Brown
retirement was in order to keep his
lob with WPA, a job which would
automatically have been lost had he
become a candidate for public office.
A day or so ago there appeared a
dispatch from Washington that
Chairman Sheppard had said an in
vestigator has been sent into an I'M
named state to inquire into election
complaints which he said may de-
velop into something"
On the heels of this dispatch there
came to this bureau from source
that ought to know what it was talk
ing about, a circumstantial tale that
Browns withdrawal was charged to
intimidation from State higher-ups'

that they were connected with WPA)
It was also asserted that the state
into which the Sheppard sleuth has
been sent is North Carolina and that
the charge he is probing is that
Brown was forced out of the race by
what amounted to virtual orders from
superiors.
How much truth Is in all this, your
correspondent knows not. It is just

Raleigh, Aug. 22.-Approximately
land is this year covered by work
sheets of the federal soil conserva-
ton program, according to E. Y.
Floyd, of State College, head of the
AAA set up in North Carolina.
This is distinct gain over last
year, with 256OOO farms covered
this year against $4,000 last, accord
Ing to Mr.. Floyd. These work sheets
qualified the farms for participation
In the program and entitled the own
ers to payments under the AAA soil
conservation program.
Last year farmers who cooperated
earned about $9,35O,0OO in payments,
Floyd said. Through August 10 checks
Tor $8,893,691.O5 had been distributed
to beneficiaries, and checks for the
being distributed, patches being sent
out by mail daily.
In view of the greater number of
farms covered by work sheets in 1888
Floyd estimates. North Carolina far
mers should be able to earn consid-
erably more this year than they did
IN 1897 if they carry out all the prac-
tlces recommended.
Payments are made on a basis OF
compliance with soil conserving rules
and regulations laid down by the
AAA.
Under the program, farmers are Of

acreage of soil-depleting cash crops

James raised his eyes. The cur
tains at the door had parted, and
standing before them, his hair blown
back in the familiar way, stood Don,
his boys, beside him, his baby
daughter clinging to one hand.
Even that first quick glance told
much to Nora's father. He saw that
the once straight shoulders sagged
a little, as if the effort to stand
erect was now too great. He saw
that the wind-blown hair was white
above the temples-the eyes seemed
deeper set-the cheekbones higher.
But he saw also that the lines on
Don's thin, tanned face were born
of suffering, not self-pity; and that
his head still lifted buoyantly as of
old.
Unconquered! The word, so singu-
larly fitting, sprang into James
Lambert's mind as he arose. I'm
conquered! That was Don Mason.

And then Don laughed, a laugh
that seemed to bring the clean,
gay spirit of adventure into the
room. Impulsively he started for

while James saw with quick COM
passion that one foot dragged.
"The enemy?" Don echoed, II

yet how could leave the babies to
earn more even if I had known some
way to do it? Constance Venable,
who would have shared her last
crust with us, was far away. I had
no one to turn to. I sold some of

threatened again; and James said,
his own voice husky with emotion:

Kissing ladies on the hand is still
one of the customs of many Euro
pean countries. But ladies' hands
to be kissed abroad do not all follow
the same rule. In some places it
is customary to do that to the mar
ried and not to the unmarried or
vice versa; it is hard to remember
which, observes writer in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
In Austria and Rumania you do
it to all, old and young. In Austria
it is most important to kiss the
hand at the end of a dance. Indeed
in that hand-kissing land you hand
kiss when you are introduced to a
lady and also when you leave and
on many other occasions. On the
street, however, in Bucharest, the
salute is raising of the hat to all
men and women, not a mere Eng
lish clipping of the topper" but a
wide flourish of the hat.
Hand-kissing, it has been said,
deters some of our rough and ready
he-men from visiting Europe, as its
fine graciousness does not harmo-
nize with our pioneer individualism
and wives might misunderstood.
But when a European gentleman
confers this gracious act on an
American woman she usually is
delighted.

his own at that time, serious trou-
bles. I dare say he forgot every
thing else. Don't blame him any
more than you can help, dear. We
all do the wrong thing at times. And
once in great while-thank Cod
we're given the opportunity to make
amends. Last night, you see, Ned
realized that I was troubled. I'd
been talking with Martha. She had
been crying when I went up to see
her birthday gifts, crying because
of you. For the first time in all
these years, Nora, we talked about
you; and in her own, kind, care
fully respectful way, she showed
me nyself-told me the truth that
I had long suspected.
81 went down at last, and sat on
the old davenport where you and
so often threshed things out togeth-
er, trying to think how I could find
you, dear. And I should have found
you, Nora, if you'd been at the
North Pole! Then Ned came in. He
had heard news of you-it doesn't
matter how. He wanted to come
himself but I refused to let him, I
was so hungry for a sight of you!
For you are my little girl, darling.
Nothing has altered that, nor ever
can. When think what you've
been through-Tell me- he broke
off abruptly, chow did you manage?
What kept you going? Who helped
you when you needed help so des-
perately?"
Said Nora, a far-away look creep
ing into her eyes: "a woman in
South Africa, Father. The sort of
woman we're supposed to pass by
on the other side It's too long
story to go into now, but she gave
me diamond. 1t was very beauti-
ful-so beautiful that, though it was
saving us, wept a little when
gave it upl"
Nora paused thoughtfully mo-
ment; then went on: "You see, Fa-
Their, things were very bad indeed.
All we had saved had gone into this
home. There were only few hun
dred dollars in the bank when we
started West, but we weren't worry
ing. There was plenty to see me
through my confinement, and more
was promised. We had never felt
so sure about the future-so light
hearted.

First Color of French Flag

While it is not usual to associate
red with the French monarchy, it
was really the first color of the
kings flag, called the orifamme.
It is only because red was also
adopted by the English king that
the French gave it up for blue. It
was under the blue flag that .Hugue-
nots came to America first as loyal
subjects of the king of France. How
ever, the red flag was preserved
on the galleys of the Mediterranean
fleet where terrible suffering was
endured by the unhappy men who
could not understand the injustice of
the king.
