It is a political axiom that it is impossible to se-i cure the support of all major f ac tions and diverse interests in a i political campaign, but apparent ly young Terry Sanford has ac complished the impossible. It is agreed that in winning the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor last Saturday that Sanford had the backing of such contrast ing interests as big business and labor, both the liberals and con. servatives, the rural and city voters, the Negro and the whites, the teachers and other state em ployees. and those who will pay their salary raises through taxes. MACHINES . . . Sanford had on his side the remnants of the Scott political machine, the Gard ner machine, the McDonald ma chine. the Broughton machine, the Hodges machine, and any other machine we can think of. He was supported by the Demo cratic Raleigh News and Obser ver, the Charlotte Observer which is now owned by the Knight fam ily of Republican background. Imagine, (or instance, Charlie Cannon. Ralph McDonald. Luther: Hodges, Ralph Scott, Watts Hill, and Millard Barbee. to name a few, all in agreement on the same man for Governor. GOODIES FOR ALL . . . Since Terry Sanford's election is going to benefit all the various people and all the various conflicting interests in North Carolina, then the only question is why didn't we get on to this before now? Why have we been fighting among outselves when we could have drafted Terry four years ago? WELCOME ... All those Indus tries which have been waiting on the Virginia border afraid to move into North Carolina unless Terry was nominated, will now be swamping us with new buildings, new payrools and new sources for taxes. All of those farmers whom Scott got out of the mud will now get out of the hole and be welcomed in the Governr's office. All the teachers who have been leaving the Old North State for better paying jobs in other states will be coming back to get some of the fifty million dollars a year increase which is to be spent on education.

ALL PROFIT ... The whole thing reminds us a little of an old story about the fellow who was going to get rich selling cat hides to the furcoat industry. He had It figured out where-by it would be all profit, after start ing with an initial supply of rats and cats. He would feed the rats to the cats. He would then skin the cats, sell the fur, grind-up the carcasses of the dead cat! and teed them to the rati, and repeat the whole cycle ad Outturn. U We never heard how he made out. but we can't wait until next year to find out how we are go ing to make out with our new ex periment in state government whereby everybody gains and no body loses. Come on mi with your better slate for Betsy. We are raring to go! EXPANSION . . . Most cities in the state are expanding their city limits by leapt and hounds. We heard a neigibor say the other day "I have moved out of Raleigh three times in my life and have wound up back in the city limits each time by being annexed. If I move any further West I'll be taken in by Durham!" MORALE . . . Speaking of Dur ham. we were in Gladstein's store for fat men the other day and tried on a suit with pantswaist size 56 inches. It was the first time we have felt real thin in twenty years. Try It some time for your morale. ... Is it true that Chapel Hill city schools, which has been sub jected to more than its share of turmoil lately, is subject to be' integrated by the admission of at least one Negro this fall? LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor Cherokee Scout: This article should not be nec essary but I have seen the moat beautiful maple trees in all the state mutilated twice here in Murphy in the past twenty year. I refer to the matchless maples on both sides of Peachtree Street from the Court boo* to the Hos pitals. . These trees have finally recov ered from the last mutilation and makes this street one of the most beautiful in the state. It is so revealing to see this fine stand of maples hacked down to & stump that one would think no person in hie right mind would cut these trees as I have seen done for no mm other thaa a few limb* were in w*y of some of the power lines, end) is no excuse at all ae the lines can always be moved without destroy ing the hi? ty of a picturesque street right in the center of town. I urge the Cithsns of Murfhy to request the Iton Beard to never allow these fine trees hark ed down to a stufep mr agria That this article should he neoss sary is certainly no oompDfflsot on the tastt of those who have rawed this street twioe by de snausb'su c to have. V. r. TAYLOR. . ? i*-. . jiii-la it i,- r> a good gun aruth Alt the power IMs be uses u a machine lath* and a couple of hand grinders, and an assortment at hand tools. He used hexagon drill steel (or the barrels, spring steel (forged on bis own forge1 for the loos, and haad worked walnut and maple for *a stocks To bar* the barrel, Mr. Nashbum saM ho burrowed ? bodag tool from a gun maker in another county and to the amasemont of this writer, this boring devtoe is old and hand ofiaratad. But the end seems to Justify the moans. For bo certainly has two guns that would bo the envy of every hunt er or gun lever At his homo. Mr. Mashburn had a gun standing alongside a wall, and when we picked it up. were amated at its Weight It weighed approximately II pounds and was nearly sis feet long To hold this gun on a target would take men such as founded this country. But Mr. Mashburn assured us that this gun wasnt built to shoot off-handed. That is is shot from "across a log." It takes a ball of .400". This gun is heavy enough to absorb any recoil that might wish to "flinch" the shoot er when the charge of black pow der is ignited with the cap. Mr. Mashburn was asked about the sise of the powder charge end he informed us that the charge of powder was measured in the palm of your haad by lay ing out a bullet and pouring pow der over it until the ball was just I covered. This is the ancient rule of thumb by which the War be tween the states was fought. Another feature of these old gun , smiths that has been discontinued is two triggers to fire the charge. , | Now to some of us youngsters, this is most unique. Most of us only know to cock the hammer i and pull the trigger. But on i these old guns, shooting accuracy was aided by the second trigger, 'which relieved the primary trig-j Iger of about 90 per cent of the pressure required to release the hammer, thus allowing the shoot er to hold his sights on the target while waiting for the powder to ignite. During our short span of years in the newspaper field, this writer has met and talked to several people al varying trades, occupations, and with varying hoboies But meeting Mr Mash burn was an experience and edu cation in itself.
