Ralvlgh, March S?Politics crowded
to the center of the atag# this past
week in Raleigh and refused to live
way to other matter*. With the for
mal opening of Bailey headquarters,
discussion of activities of state em
ployes In politics, plans for the Jack
son day dinner, a session of Simmons
campaign heads, talk concerning the
forthcoming Democratic convention
and other matters It lndoed was a
busy week politically. However, this
did not prevent other Important
matters from receiving some consid
eration. Chief among these was ac
ceptance of the resignation of the
welfare commissioner of the state
and appointment of her successor,
serious study of a successor to Dr.
h. W. Chase as head of the Univer
sity of North Carolina and receipt,
with regret, of pews that Dr. Francis
P. Gaines had decided to retire from
the presidency of Wake Forest, The
prison board also met during the
week. A call also was sent out for
a meeting of the state Democratic
executive committee.
C. L. Shuplng of Greensboro opened
headquarters for the campaign of!
Josiali W. Bailey for the senate, and
Immediately lssupd a short state
ment expressing his belief that Mr.
Bailey would be elected. A state
ment was Issued on behalf of Mr.
Bailey to the effect that Republicans,
could be prevented from voting in
the Democratic primary. This was
taken as a move on Mr. Bailey's part
to insure domination of the Demo
cratic party In state affairs, and es
pecially to insure that no Republi
cans will Jump into the Democratic
primary to defeat Mr. Bailey in or
der to repay Senator Simmons for
his help in 1928. It was regarded
locally as shiewd politics.
On Saturday the leaders of the
Simmons campaign met and laid their
plana Led. by Charlie Hlnes of
Greensboro.-the Simmons manager*
I are busily but quietly engaged on
thoroughly organizing the state so
that The Senator may he returned to
the post which he has held for so
long. Simmons stock gained ground,
his supporters said, when folk read
cf the active way in which he Is ex
el ting his Influence at Washington
for the good of the people,
Announcement that Sprague Silver,
head of the motor vehicle department
<,r the department of revenue, would
head the fourth district campaign
fpr Senator Simmons was met with
a statement by Allen J. Maxwell,
revenue commissioner, that no em
ployee of the deportment would be
allowed to manage the campaign of
anyone. Mr. Silver thereupon with
drew from active participation. Mr.
Maxwell Expressed the belief that It
wax unwise' for *' offlcg "holder to
actively work as campaign manager.
While plans for the Jackson Day
dinner went forward, Odus Moll.
Democratic chairman, called a meet
ing of his executive committee for
this coming Thursday night - to ar
range a time and place for the Dem
ocratic convention. Sentiment was
expressed that the convention should
be held after the June primary, so
as to center attention of heating the
Republican candidate rather than on
settling the differences between Sim
mons and Bailey, as would be the
case if it were held before the pri
mary. This seems to meet with gen
eral approval of all Democrats from
the governor down, and appears to be
the wisest course In the opinion of
the candidates for office.
During the week Mrs. Kate Burr
Johnson, efficient bead of the depart
ment of welfare of the state, resigned
her Job to accept a New England post
Expressions of regret were heard on
all sides and the board moved to elect
Mrs. W. Thomas Bost to the position.
Mrs. Bost is well known and highly
regarded and her selection meets
rather general approval. While this
resignation was being studied anoth
er was heard of with regret though
tbe state has no Interest In Its fill
ing as It is a denominational propo
sition. Dr. Francis P. Gaines, liberal
leader and president of Wake Forest,
resigned to take the presidency ot
Washington and Lee, from which
another North Carolinian, Dr. Henry
Louis Smith recently resigned. Dr.
Gaines has been In the state but
three years but has impressed all
with his ability and the Baptists will
have a hard time replacing him. And
while resignations were In the air
talk of a successor to Br. Chase as
president of the University of North
Carolina was heard. He also has re
cently reelgned and the board meets
tomorrow to consider selection of s
successor. Professor Frank Graham
has been considered, but be let It be
known he would not accept Profes
sor R. W. D. Connor of the Univer
sity also Is under consideration. The
meeting of the board will be awaited]
with Interest
The Jackson Day dinner of the
Democrats will be a Live At Home
affair In accordance with the Gover
nor's campaign it was announced.
Everything possible will be North
Carolina products. All of the speak
ers will be home grown also except
Jouett Shouse. the national Demo
cratic chairman. Mr. Bailey, sena
torial candidate, will attend. Mr.
Blmmons. senatorial candidate, may
attend but feels that the public af
fairs at Washington should not be
neglected and therefore may not be
able to get away. In addition to Mr.
Shouse there may be another out of
town speaker If former Governor
Byrd of Virginia accepts an Invita
tion tendered him. Tbe affair Is to
be held March 18 and arrangements
have been made to accomodate at
least *00 leading Democrat*.
Charles M. Johnson, secretary of
the County government advisory
commission, has callsd attention of
county oommmlsslonert of the state
to the tact that the law now requires
that the valuation of real and per
sonal property be stated separately
on the tax receipts. It la also point
ed ogt that tax listing time has '
changed from May flrat to April first
and this law become* effective this
yaar.
Duriag the week William Oraan.

Of Labor, oam? to the state this week
and stopped by to hare conference
with Governor Gardner. Plans are
he ins made for the second annual
tire college to be held under the su
pervision of the state Insurance de
partment at Wilmington on April 22.
Firemen from all sections of the
slate are expected to attend the lec
tures and demonstrations designed to
Increase their efficiency. Captain
Farmer of the state highway patrol
this week called attention to the fact
that many of the school busses In use
in North Carolina have defective
brakes which his nien are insisting
be repaired at once. In each case
48 hours is being allowed to repair
the brakes be said. State aid to the
counties for schools and roads will
exceed nine million dollars this year.
If this were raised by general prop
erty lax it would be necessary to levy
thirty cents on the hundred dollar
valuation.
King Kelley, widely known baseball
manager, died here during the past
week. He was a familiar figure in
sporting circles of the southeast.
The local orchestra was Incorporated
this week after operating successfully
for the past three years. It is to be
known as the State Symphony or
chestra and is expected to be even
better in the future than in the past,
and to be a valuable addition to the
musical life of the state. The prison
board met during the week and de
cided not to spend the $400,000 set
aside by the legislature for the pur
chase of a prison farm. It was
deemed inadvisable to buy a farm at
the present time. At the same time
the prison heads took cognisance of
the growing population of state's

The U. S. Bureau of Plant Husbandry
has given up hope of saving the na
tive chestnut which is so well known
to the western section of the state
and will make efforts to develop an
other type of chestnut brought from
Asia which may be strong enough to
thiow off the chestnut blight which
has denuded thousands of acres in
Western Carolina in recent years.
