IS BELIEVED INEVITABLE
Chairman of Ways and Means Com
niittii' Busiest Man en Capitol
Hill. At WOrk on Bonus Hill.
Washington, D C. Tc ru-i for Gov
ernor or not to run ?
That, apparently. Is the quav.dar;
in which Congressman Robert Dough
ton, who represents Uie Ninth Xorii
Carolina District in t he National Con
gross, finds himself.
Deluged with letters from all part;
of the State, insisting that he cute:
the Gubernatorial race, urged by hi:
many friends to toss his hat into th<
ring without further delay, is about
the state of fairs for the veteran Congressman.
Announcement recently in the State
papers that Congressman Dough ton
intended *o retire from Congress soon
gave riv to two conjectures: First,
should he decide to run for Governor,
he of course will not seek another
term in Congress; av.d second, should
he decide not to run for Governor,
he wdi probably defer to the demand
that he serve one more term in Congress
.
It is believed that if the pressure
continues gathering* momentum as it
has during the past six months, he
will probably enter the rare for Governor.
Otherwise, it is forecast that he will
retire from Congress at the "first
favorable opportunity."
Busy Congressman
Mr. Dough ton, as chairman of the
Ways and Means Committee of the
Houso-ix- .nrcihiVhly : he misiiXst man
on Capitol Hill. During the past six
weeks his committee has conducted
hearings and made an intensive study
of the President's Kconomic Security
program. When that is completed, the
committee calendar calls for consideration
of the bonus, revision of the
NRA, re-enactment of a number of
excise taxes and various and sundry
bills oi lesser importance.
Displaying the vim and vigor of u
man half his age. Mr. Doughton is or
the job approximately fifteen hours
a day. Arriving in his office long before
dawn and quitting after all othez
offices are closed, he is recognized ai
"the hardest working congressman*
on the Hill.
Definite announcement of Mr
Dougntonsf mlrntiyUS iii so far as th
race for Governor is concerned, wil
be forthcoming at an early date, i
is believed in Congressional circles.
A Russian named Arjerow lias beei
sentenced to ten years' imprisonmen
for bigamy. He married 5S wives i)
6 years, and is said to have been th<
father of 102 children.

East Tennessee Railroad
Inaugurates New Service
Mr. H. L. Wilcox, local agent for
the E. T. & W. N. C. Transportation
Company, announces that his organization
has just recently inaugurated
a combination truck-train service
which, he believes, will prove most
attractive to Boone business men. In
- describing the method. Mr. Wilcox
j says:
Our row system of handling
freight between Johnson City and
Boone enables us to load on a speHy-tM'Ui
fint car truck trailers.
These trailer loads are made up i'T
Johnson City and placed on the flat
'cars: then handled by rail from Johnson
City to Boone. Upon arrival here
they are pulled from the car. the trailer
is attached to one of ouv trucks
and dispatched t ; all parts of North
I Carolina.
The system is proving satisfactory
and we hep? it will soon enable us
to load one of our trailers with freight
II at Chattanooga. Knoxville and points
' in the North for North Carolina des
tination.s. We will thus be enabled to
* i back these trailers onto flat cars
* j within a few minutes for shipment to
'; Boone. A tackle arrangement makes
! it possible here to unload in n few
* minutes and dispatch to the South
B | By this means freight will not b(
handled from its point of shipment
{ until it reaches its destination.
