Job Of Lieutenant Governor I z Is Very Important One = ( Goldsboro News- Argus) < * Here is a little game for you to try. During the coffee break take a poll of those within talking dis tance Ask them to name the three men who are run pi{ig for lieutenant governor of North Carolina. ? ; Don't be surprised if you discover that most men eaji^ name them. Julian Scheer of the Charlotte News fri >a 1,700 mile trip from Murphy to Hatteras made this principal discovery of the race. When he asked whom Chiy favored for the second place in the state, often (hi man queried parried by asking who was running. ? [ Scheer found that 70 per cent of the voters in his pujl hadn't decided about the man they preferred. ;? ? The job of lieutenant governor can be a most sig jjiiicant one. His primary assignment is to preside $ver.the Senate. In event the governor is out of the |tat$. he is the chief administrative officer. There |ave been a few times when Governor Hodges was out ? if the state when Lieutenant Governor Barnhardt of i Concord (we call his name to let you know who he is) . Bas" served briefly in Raleigh in presiding, say, over ? ijhe Council of State meeting. I Of greatest significance, probably, is this. In the j ^yent of the death of the governor the lieutenant gov ernor becomes governor. The death of Governor Wil- ' lfa? B. Umstead early in his term shifted Lieutenant | Governor Hodges into that spot. The state had chosen j well in picking its second man and his record made him the natural selection to succeed himself, a thing); which would have been barred if he had been elected!' aSgovernor for his first term. ji "J^You ask who is seeking the post in the May 28 primary. Three men aspire to the honor. C. V. Henkel is a Statesville farmer with long ' service in the legislature. He is generally tabbed as ' a Hodges opponent and opposed some of Hodges' ideas j agd; plans in the last Assembly. ? f)a.ve McConnell of Charlotte is a farm born law- , yer, graduate of Davidson, and accepted as a tax i authority by many. He is the author of the McConnell plan which would authorize small counties to join in 1 cfBtting development districts. H. Cloyd Philpot, Lex- 1 la?fflan with service on Baptist state boards, and mem- ' bei^pf the Legislature. He can be classified as a Hodges j man. f I Thoughts For Today , ?Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eatsl little or much: but the surfeit of the rich will not let!' him sleep. ?

Kidd Brewer's Raleigh Roundup Jordan Sure Bet To Win; Hewlett Will Receive Anti-Anything Vote HARD ROW When Addison Hewlett quit running for Gover nor and started running for the U. S. Senate against ?. Everett Jordan, we predicted that about all he would receive for his ef forts would be a tired right hand and blistered feet ? plus a good lesson to the effect that "steady does it." In other words, just just cant tie all things to all people. You have to choose sides and stick. In our opinion, Hewlett's camp aign has not made sense from the very beginning. He has been a man seeking the job ? and job? and the voters don't go for that. There are a lot of people in North Carolina who could have run Senator Jordan a good race ? Congressman Alton . Lennon or Commissioner of Agriculture L. Y. i Stag i Ballentine, to name a :ouple But Hewlett wasn't one of them. It sounds pitiful to hear Hew lett talk about world conditions and national policy. It would take aim ten years to get the exper ience and make the contacts in Washington that Everett Jordan already had through various con lections when he took office. Lyndon Johnson, the Senate majority leader, said at the time Everett Jordan was sworn in that Jordan was already so well known among most of the Senate colleagues through his long ser vice and experience in national Democratic Party affairs that he was a veteran to start with. CLOSE FRIENDS . This writer remembers well when we served as administrative assistant to the late U. S. Sen. William B. Urn stead over 12 years ago that Everett Jordan was at home around the United States Capitol and numbered among his friends the leadership of both houses of Congress as well as that of the National Democratic Party. WITHIN 100,000 Addison Hewlett will get the usual anti anything vote ? and that is about SAM PHOTO . . . Now as for; thousand votes of Jordan, it will surprise most of the political ob servers we have talked with in J recent weeks. SAM PHOT . . Now as forj the race for Governor, the picture in these final days ? in spite of' all the backing and filling ? and the ballyhoo and advertising ? is about what it was a year ago. It looks like Sanford and Lar Irim down to the wire, with Terry Sanford leading ? followed by Lake and Seawell. THE JOCKEY Seawells jockey, whom most people picture as none other than Luther Hod ges, will be using the whip. This whip will be in the form of money and advertising in a desperate attempt to spur Seawell up to second place. This is with the hope that he' can be built np with enough vit-j amins and energy pills to win the runoff, in the winner-take-all second primary against Terry San ford Unless one of the leaders hap pens to stumble badly in the home i stretch, most of the political rail birds predict no upset and that the horses will finish in the same order that they were when they rounded the back turn. NOTES . . We understand that Negro school teachers are watch ing the fight hinging around re quiring white and colored children to go to the same schools very closely. . ..Across the board, our Negro teachers in North Carolina make a little more on an aver age than the white teachers. With 11 members of school boards being white, these Negro teachers arc said to be afraid of losing their good - paying positions if the schools should be integrated The show at the Democratic State Convention this week will probably be pretty much Terry San ford. Larldns, being one of the Ptrty officials, is expected to refrain from using his position arc contacts to put on much of a circus The most bitter attacks on Sen. John F. Kennedy's candidacy for the Presidency we see from week to week are appearing in the "Biblical Recorder", official publication of the N. C. State Baptist Convention. If he should be nomonated for the place by the Democrats in convention this summer, don't be surprised if we have a rebirth of the A1 Smith campaign of 32 years ago when North Carolina went Republican ana for Herbert Hoover. This one will bear watching for the next several weeks Raleigh, whose population is ex pected to be 93.000 ? instead of] the hoped-for 100,000 ? is still) desperately trying t make it. But the experts say odds are too much against us to achieve the round' figure this time ? Speaking of Sen. Kennedy, he told the people of West Virginia in his successful campaign there that be simply could not believe that their primary was decided on die day be was baf^ tixed. ... We beard last week that the man he fears most now is Adlai Stevenson Don't count him out yet but Sen. Lyndon Two Will Attend State Convention H. A. Mattox and Holland Mc Swaio will atteod the state Demo cratic convention in Raleigh Thur day at Manorial Auditorium. They will decide on new party platforms and other routine bus iness. They also will help elect new state party officials. Johnson will no doubt get North j Carolina's votes in the first go round at the convention. Soil Conservation News By John S Smith At a meeting held in the Camp bell Folk School at Brasstown Thursday night. May 12. more than thirty residents of land owners in the Little Brasstown Creek Watershed voted to submit an Tplimltm to the lateral gov ernment far assistance in estab lishing a Small Watershed Pro tection Project. This was one o f the most enthusiatsic groups I have seen in attendance at any typa of (arm mcetiag. Every per son present was one hundred per cent in agreement with the pro posed Watershed Project (or their area. Mr. Jim Lankford. who is the Work Unit Conservationist for the Soil Conservation Service in Towns County. Georgia was the principal speaker for the meeting. He show ed a number of colored slides 'which he had taken in connection with a Watershed Project on Higb tower Creek ia Towns County These slides explained the work necessary on the part o f the peo ple of a watershed before a pro ject becomes a reality. Those present asked many | questions as - to what would be done by the Federal Government and what would be done by the farmers themselves. Mr. Lankiord explained that any watershed pro ject was "A local undertaking i with government assistance, and not a government undertaking with local assistance.'' It is pos sible for an individual farmer to do a lot of conservation work on his own land, and one rejuire ment of the people before gov ernment assistance will be grant ed is that at least fifty per cent of the land in the watershed area must be completely treated with soil and water conservation mea sures. This may require that some shifts in land use be made by some of the farmers of the area. Steep, shallow uplands must be taken out of cultivation and planted either to tree* or pasture. Alter the whole watershed Is properly protected, it it often possible to (hilt cultivated crops back down in the bottom lands where they ?auM be except for the danger el flooding At the~meeting last Thursday, the people of Little Brasctown chose Dr. John R Heoeveld as their chairman Or. Heoeveld and his wile have recently come to Cherokee County and have just completed a home on their farm near the Folk School. Although the watershed project on Little Brasstown is the firs! one to be undertaken in Cherokee! ----- - County, it should mtj ha Ik* fh-at of several such prejaeU. Dm pea pie living in the watersheds U Peachtree Creak and Slaw Oaak have a wonderful opfnrturtty to apply for the tame l.pe d as sistance These two creaks which juiii into one before they reach the Hiwassee River flow through some of the beat fanning land in Cherokee County, and they also are notorious for the flooding they cause m the spring Com plete treatment of the watarahad wuuUi practically eliminate the danger of serious flooding.

Writ* today f?r nil llhtfraM ImWt ar in yMr Tl???< AfMl TERRY SANFORD has already influenced industry to come to North Carolina Every new industry that comes to North Car olina benefits every citizen. So the enthusiasm and dedication of those who sponsor industrial development on the local level is essential to North Carolina's progress. They should be led and supported by a Chief Executive who has been active in this field and understands the problems involved. In Favetteville,. Terry Sanford gained valuable experience as a member of the local industry hunting team . . . made significant contribu tions as a leader. Bead what some of his fellow-townsmen say: "Terry Sanford has been a dynamic leader, a faithful, effective and tireless worker in our pro gram to attract new industry. "He was primarily responsible for the location of a $20 million industry here, and was the moving force in obtaining the regional office of a national life insurance company. "Through Terry Sanford's efforts the Charlotte area will soon get a new industrial plant. "Our community has been fortunate to have a leader of his ability, his zeal and his vision to give us the boost we needed on many occasions. These same attributes, we feel, will be used on a much broader scale to implement a program of industrial progress for the State as a whole. "We invite our fellow Tar Heels to join us in supporting Terry Sanford? the Candidate with the most practical experience in Industrial Development." J. fternard Stein J. M.
