OTHERS VIEWS
IN ANSWER TO MIR. WRIGHTS
LATEST

w.
LATEST
To the Editor:
Is 1t not true that the very things
Mr.. Wright accuses the Republicans
and PlutOcrats of, his socalled savior
Roosevelt, is guilty of all of them?
Do you think that Mr.. Wright
would have the effrontery to assert
that Roosevelts motives are prompt
ed through his heartfelt sympathy
for the economically suppressed?
Isn't it most apparent that Roose-
ve1ts every motive was and is
prompted, first for his own aggran-
diZement, second, for the aggrandize-
ment of his immediate family, third
aggrandizement of the Democratic
party, which he knows will cause
aggrandizement of himself?
It is regrettable and strange that
he does not have that innate modesty
of that great man, "The father of
our country" George Washington.
His aspiration for third term of
office bellies that 1t is a blessing that
our brave and worthy ancestors, the
colonials, did not offer kingship
over our country to a Roosevelt.
1t is strange that the "great lover
of the poor" has done all in his
power to marry his immediate
family into "The Sixty Families of
America. ACTIONS speak louder
than words"
It is strange, America being in

ANSWERS.

l. By legislative act If 1927. "The
Old North State" was written by
Judge William CASTOR OF the North
Carolina Superior Court-1833-183 1874
Judge CASTOR composed the poem
while living in Raleigh more than
100 years ago.
2. Increasing In 1900 there were
1860 mules on North Carolina
farms. This number had increased to
256,569 in 1920 to 294, 1903 in 1880 and
to 100000 in 1888.
g. Under date of Monday, Novem-

4. William James Battle, son of the
late DR.. Kemp Plummer Battle, pres
ident of the Univerity of North Car
olina from 1876 to 1891.
5. From the beginning of statehood
until 1886 the State paid owners for
slaves executed for crimes. The act

for the playment of slaves declared
tldI IldIly PSISOIlS ny cruel treat
ment of their slaves cause them to
commit crimes for which many OF
the said slaves are executed"
6. The first boundary line was run
in ,1735 and began at the mouth of
Little River, on the seashore, thirty
miles below the mouth of Cape Fear

IF 1T WAS LOVE.
Rv Thomas Robertson.

DIV IHOUldS hOUCI VSOAs
Weeks have passed since the parting
And many moons have lighted the
heavens above,
But no effects were made on the
opposite party.
That's why | wonder if it was love.
Love with all its entertainments
Seemed to be a frame-up at a
hearts demand
And cast away these moments of
happiness
Bringing those I couldn't under
stand.
1 stood off in far distance
Watching the wheel Of time and
chance,
Watching the advancement of what
l called love
And a history-making romance.
Then as if it was a cloudy wave,
There came a changing in the tide,
Flashes of darkened clouds came
down
And he was no longer by her side.
The scene changed to his home
Where he was all alone,
And there he was packing up his
clothes
For soon he would be gone.
Then 1 understood a little more
clearly.
He had secured position far away
Because he had accepted it
She told him to go and stay.
| That is why the situation puzzled me
Like the stretch of the Milky Way
above
Why did she get angry and turn
against him.
If it was love?
