Nklpmati Raleigh, April 23.?Politics, nation al and sute, occupied the center ot the stage at Raleigh thife week tor the state board of elections closed the lists for candidates tor state offices, O. Max Gardner being the only one in the Democratic race for governor, while the visit of Governor A] Smith, ot New York, to Ashevllle brought various comments from "all aides. Jceiah W. Bailey, who opposed Gov ernor McLean four?*ears ago, came out for Smith for' ihg Democratic nominee, this being one important de velopment locally. There were others also and it was an interesting week. Not the least interesting of "many ccurences was the statement pub lished in the Greensboro Daily News which quoted Ernest Green as say ing that Senator Simmons had aban doned his light against Smith. This indeed was big news, bat - unfortu nately it was mistaken impression gained by a Raleigh correspondent of the Greensboro News in talking to Mr. Green and he afterward correct ed it Senator Simmons was prompt in denying 'that he had changed his opposition to Smith. Meanwhile Governor Smith was hav log a great vacation at Ashevllle. \arioQs Democratic henchmen have visited him during the week, he has made macy friends and haa heard himself cussed and discussed in the newspapers .of the State. While hia visit is declared not to be for political purposes, there is little doubt that It will affect the political situation. Josiah W. Bailey's flop to the Smith standard was important chiefly be cause he formerly was editor ot a Bapti-t paper and was believed l< be an earnest opponent of those who seek to modify the prohibition act. He still is bat he made clear that he believed Smith would enforce the law pod <il?o that he believed Smith Is qualified. O. Max Gardner may well be hailed as the next Governor of the Sute for when the time for flling for office tx;.?red last Friday he was without opposition in Democratic circles and it is not believed that there is any danger, of the Republicans electing their candidate. Herbert Seawell of Carthage. Mr. Gardner deserves the honor which has come his way for he is a good sport and has played the game fair. He is very popular through out the State. ? Raleigh was disturbed over the de cision of the Interstate Commerce Commission -that the Piedmont and Northern could not extend its lines (or it was felt here that It would be a great thing for the State as a whole to have the line extended to Winston Salem and probably later to Greens boro and that territory. The fear here also is generally the same as that elsewhere, that the decision n-eans the stifling of competition In i jtbe railroad business. Newn.._haaJ 1 reached here that the light will be continued and there is no doubt that it will be followed with interest. It is good news for the State that , the epidemic of measles is about over. 'There were 58,000 cases in the State 'this year bat health authorities esti mate that the peak has been passed long since and that another serious epidemic will not strike the Sute for three to flve years. The State In surance Department remarks on the growth of North Carolina citle* when It says that eight of them have re cently passed the 10.000 population mark. They are Fayetteville, Concord, Burlington. Sutesville, Elizabeth City, Kinaton, Greenville and Shelby. The Carolina Motor Club met here during the week in annual session, voted in favor of a statewide highway patrol of police force, a sUtewide drivers license and re-elected Charles S. War lace, of Morehead City as president for the fourth consecutive term. During the week the Superior Court dismissed the libel suits of John H. Boushall and A E. Ring against the News and Observer. These men were officers in a credit corporation in con nection with the defunct Tri-State Tobacco Growers Cooperative Assocla tion and the News and Observer bad words to say on how their salaries were paid through unauthorized! notes. The sniu hare never been | called in court and they were clear.] cti from the. calendars along with 46 other old suiu. - William C. Douglass, aged and honored attorney of Raleigh died during the week after lingering for several months. He was'greatly ad mired and liked by all In the capital and his passing was monrned. He was 76 years of ^ge. There were fewer deaths as a result of automo bile accidents In the State last rionth but more were Injured. Tb* Sute Prison heads were excited dur ing the week by an outbreak of pri soners, at Caledonia Farm but It did not last very long and nd one was Injured. During the week the Su preme Court held that the rights of an illegitimate child under the 1917 law are retroactive and such a child has a right to share in an esute. It also held that house means house and lot. The trustees of" the University dur ing the week decided that they would not raise the tuition fees at the Unj verslty, and it la believed that this coarse will meet with general ap proval. The move to increase first was brought np by Governor McLean but was later turned over f a com mittee to handle and Its adverse re port on the question was adopted. The SUte Board of Equalisation reports that the average corporation of North Carolina earned $14,802 last year. Of course there were many that did not earn this and many that earned more this being an average. Will Neale gave Raleigh something to think about when be filed for Congress from the tenth district against Zeb Weaver.
