| old Ntfgro. who they thought had
j attempted to attack a white
woman. He was too fast for
! them, got away. She had ad
I mitted privately since then that
she was merely highly nervous,
I that her screaming was just more
female hysteria, and that Bush
had not tried to attack her.
The freedom so speedily grant
[ ed the seven was just too much
for Gov. R. Gregg, who is usual
ly in good humor. When he heard
the news, he called in Private
Secretary John Harden, he called.
W .the frafa, and he went" on the
radio. He was in a winding way.
His decision to have the case
retried ? In a slightly different
manner ? won him virtually un
I animous support, except possibly
in Northampton County, which
casts a very small vote ? and any
how Cherry can't run to succeed
himself. However, Negro-haters ?
and there are still too many of
them in North Carolina ? may
take their vengeance out on any
j body Cherry supports.
NOT MISSING A BET? Sena
tor William B. Umstead's Dur
ham office is sending out will
I you-support-me letters in sev
? eral directions these days. Just
| to show you how thoroughly they
are going about this business of
writing letters. Last week one of
i Raleigh's leading citizens receiv
ed one of the pieces of mail. It
urged him to cast his lot with
Senator W. B. Umstead. He will
hardly do it ? though.
He is a brother-in-law of J. M.
Broughton.
FOR CHARITY? The 100,000
Baptists in North Carolina who
read the "Charity and Children,"
Thomasviile Orphanage paper,
each Sunday after church ? and
sometimes during cnurch ? may
not know it, but they have been
reading some rather fancy writ
ing here lately. That's right.
Arch (whispering Mac) McMill
lan, editor, has been in the Bap
tist Hospital in Winston-Salem
recuperating from a heart at
tack. During this time, guest edi
tors have appeared. But one of
these visiting editors (whose ar
ticles are not signed) has at
times probably received as high
, -'f - - ? ,
99 50 cents' a Word for Sorhe of
his historical utterances on paper. 1
That's Archibald Johnson of Bal
timore Evening Post fame ? and
of Charity and Children fame, for
1 that matter. These Johnson's, Mc- j
. Millans, McNeill's and Memory's
can all write. They can sing, too,
| when they gather for a night In
| Riverton.
I NOTES ? Lo, how the mighty
hath fallen! Two months ago
Hudson School Prihcipal R. .L. j
| Fritz, Jr., wa3 the man of the
| hour in NoYth Carolina. Over- j
| night the State School Board re
j voked even his teaching certifi- 1
j cate . . . He's still NCEA presi
; dent, but is expected to re
sign . . However, don't cloSe the
book on this matter . . . J. M.
Broughton was conspicious by
his absence at Dr. J. Y. Joyner's
big day in La Grange last week
j. . . But his name was uppermost;
in discussions at Congressman
[ Monroe Redden's big Henderson- j
I ville barbecue . . . Been reading
about Charlie Phillips second con- 1
viction of murdering his wife ? |
Lillington has hit the big papers
throughout the nation . . . Don't
be surprised if another indict- j
ment grows out of this second
trial ... .
HOW WOULD YOU VOTE? j
Johnson Matthews of the State
1 Parole Commission received his
1 job under the then Governor, J.
'? M. Broughton ... But his wife
| worked as secretary to Senator
William B. Umstead for 18 years, j
Mrs. Matthews, cousin of Bill j
Horner (defeated for Congress
last year, narrowly, by C. B. '
?Deane), is also politically mind
ed. The Matthews' want to vote
for the same man. Under these J
circumstances, how Would you !
vote?
IT TAKES MONEY? You keep
hearing talk and you continue j
reading items about the possibili- j
ty of Lt. Gov. L. Y. Ballentine, |
State Democratic Committee |
Chairman Wilkins P. Horton and
State Senator Libby Ward run-j
ning for Governor. Do you know ,
why they have not announced ?
i There is one main reason. The
other reasons run exceedingly ;
' poor seconds. Hie REAL REA
1 SON is insufficient financial ]
backing. It takes money to run
'for Governor. Oh, yes, there is a
$12,000 limit to a candidate's ex
penditures. But that's a joke, son,
as almost everybody knows.
Mayne Albright thinks he can j
do it noabout $12,000. Oscar j
Barker thinks he can mullify the j
need for big expenditures by the
teacher vote. But the 'three men
tioned above are more realistic.
They are smart. Promise any.ohe
0f_. the three $50,000 for.. a cam-j
palgn, and he would likely an
nounce a (ew minutes thereafter. ;
| They have not seen this much !
money falling in their direction, j
and they have not announced, and
won't until they do.
THAT NAME? Mayne Albright
and wife are in the process of
leaving the "Civic Club Circuit"
J now that they have that trailer,
: and will soon be out discussing
I issues with YOU. That name j
I "Challenger" on the trailer is in- 1
triguing. It was first named "In- j
vader," but the Albright's de- j
cided on "Challenger" after]
friends had suggested such names
as "Buster" (written within a
broken ring), "Blount Street (the
street the Mansion is on) or
Bust," and, because of the trail
er's shape, "The Egg and Us."
OFF THE CUFF ? Three good
pictures are now touring the
State, and you may want to see
them; "Great Expectations,"
"Possessed," and "The Hucksters"
... Word from Washington is
that Kenneth Royall (he was his
own financial support) of Golds
boro, Secretary of the Army, is
sure to run for Governor ... Pou
Bailey, son of the late Senator
Josiah William, is practicing law
in Raleigh and is attracting right
i much attention . . . He's expect
ed to have some little part in

TOM AND CARL ? Tom Bost,
Sr., is known as the dean of Ra
leigh newspapermen. He has done
I more to make the Greensboro
| Daily News what it is today
than any other living person.
'Carl Goerch, who is the State
Magazine, did what most people
said was impossible when he
established this publication and
kept it going. Tom and Carl are
different in many ways, and are
alike in some respects. Bost can
be seen almost any day going in
a full-foot-slapping gallop across
[Capitol Square. Coerch walks in
I a semi-foxtrot all the time. Both
are public speakers, but Goerch
j seldom preaches, while Tom Bost
i does, quite frequently. Carl gets
| more for his public appearances
i than Tom.
| Neither is what you would call
, handsome, but their personalities
j are so strong that this is hardly
1 apparent. They both look like
| dogs: Tom like an old, friendly
| Collie, and Carl like a screw
j tailed Bull Terrier. Carl wear an
J owlish, is-that-so expression. Tom
looks as if he is surprise-proof.
They are both against prohibi
tion. However, Carl won't accept
alcoholic advertising for his mag
j azine, and Tom is a tee-totaler.
I Tom is pushing 70; Carl, 60.
