SCHOONER ANNIE E. PIERCE

On February %, 1892, the
Schooner Annie E. Pierce of Som
mers Point, New Jersey, bound for
Bogue Inlet, North Carolina, from
New Bedford, Massachusetts, was
beached by her master at a point
two and one-quarter miles south
of Little Kinnakeet Station (Sixth
District), North Carolina, and the
death of Alonzo Driscoll, the mate
of the vessel, occurred in conse-
quence. AS the schooner came into
view from seward through the
rain and mist of that stormy Feb
ruary morning, she was espied by
a small boy, who called attention
to her.
At once the keeper saw from the
direction she was steering that the
vessel would soon be aground, and
he made immediate preparations to
render assistance. The adjoining
stations were spoken to by tele-
phone and in response, the keeper
and crew of the Gull Shoal Sta
ton Immediately repaired to the
spot indicated, while the keeper of
the Big Kinnakeet Station came
with horses to assist in hauling the
beach cart.
In about three-quarters of an
hour from the time the vessel was
first seen the three life-saving
crews were upon the beach near
the vessel, which had stranded a.
bout one hundred and fifty yards
out. Operations began forthwith,
under the direction of the keeper

the people, said Olive, who is a
former member of the General As
sembly. although lobbying for
special interests might be legiti-
mate, I've always felt that influ-
encing legislative and government
tai actions eventually blinds the
lobbyist to all but the selfish in
terest he represents. When he
reaches that point he forgets and
disdains the needs of the masses
Of our people.
That's why Pm proud that I've
never been a lobbyist. That's why
l entered this race against the lob
byists and the professional politi-
clans. I want to give the voters a
chance to elect a Governor that
will serve all the people of our
State-rot just a privileged few

corrected these deficiencies, our
national health would be greatly
improved.
Answer to Question No. 3:
Leukemia is a disease of tk"
blood stream often spoken of as
cancer of the blood. It has no
proven relation to cancer. It is
usually fatal. It is diagnosed by
examining the blood and finding
a great increase in the white
cells. Life can be prolonged by
blood transfusions. Much re-
search work in many laborator
les is being done in the hope of
finding the cause and the cure.
There are two types of leukemia
acute and chronic.

PEOPLE ARE FED UP
WITH PRO POLITICIANS

Raleigh. People of North Caro-
lima, like others through the ma
ton, are sick and tired Of mis-
rule by professional politicians
and their lobbyist friends"
This opinion was expressed to-
day by Hubert E. Olive, candidate
for Governor, upon completing his
first four weeks of intensive cam
paigning back and forth across
North Carolina.
Il find our people doing more
serious thinking today" he COM
mented. 'They are perturbed by
the heavy tax burden, by initiation
and by the war situation. Many of
them have sons and husbands on
our first lines of defense in Asia
and Europe. They are worried.
ain addition, they are highly in
dignant over the shady deals in
volving professional politicians
lobbyists and fiv e-percenters
Many people have told me they
are fed up with professional poll
ticians and their hangers-on. They
seem to reflect a feeling that ap-
parently is deeply-rooted through
out the country as evidenced in re-
cent presidential preferential pri.
maries."
Olive is opposed by practically
every lobbyist for special interests
in North Carolina. A successful at.
torney, he has had many lucrative
offers to lobby in the legislative
halls at Raleigh. He consistently
and firmly turned them down.
Il always preferred to represent

Answer to Question No. I

Claustrophobia is one Of the
commonest fears-fear of closed
in places, like subways, eleva-
tors, small rooms. There are
many other phobias (fears) such
as fear of crowds, high attitudes,
public speaking. Fears are per-
fectly understandable but as a
rule irrational and may be
caused by some past unpleasant
experience OF an inner mental
conflict. Phobias are not to be
considered weaknesses and peo-
pie who are suffering from them
will find it beneficial to consult
their family physician.
Answer to Question No. 2:
Yes, most important. US.

The State Treasurer is strictly an
administrative officer. He has moth
ing whatsoever to do with the legis-
lative or judicial branch of our state
government. He makes no laws,
neither does he enforce any. His
duties are defined by statute and he
has no other choice than to follow
the law and fear no danger. To do
this, he should be informed concern
ing state government and have
thorough knowledge of the law con-
corning his office The office of
State Treasurer is one of the most
important state offices. He is the
legal custodian of all the funds be-
longing to the State of Montana, to
be paid out by him only upon the
presentation of proper warrants
drawn against the several funds en-
trusted to his care. His accounts
should be kept in order. Honesty,
integrity and ability are the essential
qualifications of one who aspires to
this high place of trust. Finally, the
treasurer and his staff should be
courteous and affable and treat his
patrons with the utmost kindness
and consideration.
Should the voters of this vast state
choose me as the next State Treasur-
er, will strive to render honest, con-
scientious and efficient service and |
endeavor to prove myself worthy of |
their confidence.
Sincerely, FRED LAY, Democratic
Candidate for State Treasurer. !
