It Ims been observed that there are some people in the State who consider themselves too good to obey the law, and scorn to stop at the crossing. Nevertheless, they exercise the cautiiA of slowing down and looking each way before going on. -It is due to this cir cumstance that a 100 ppr cent record J'n crossing safety has been established jnce the stop law went into effect. It is not because every driver of an utito niobr.e lias stopped at the crossing, but because every driver lias been moved to caution, that the railroads have been enabled to pass out word of a casualty less record since the law went into ef fect. The stop law is doing good in spite of tjje few who think they are better than the law. Organize Rowan Cotton Growers.

Mcßrayer, Finding Nepo tism and Buying From Himself to Be Excusable. —+ —i * Asheville, July 2<S. —Charges against the management of the state sana torium for tuberculosis are not sufficient to warrant recommending the removal of Dr. L. B. Mcßrayer, superin tendent. of the institution, declared a report made by the special legislative committee to Morrison, who made the rejiort public tonight. The committee did not wholly exonerate Dr. Alcßrayer. It found that “Dr. Alcßrayer and his son Louis Mc- Brayer have violated section 4300 of the consolidated statutes of North Carolina of 1010, technically in trading with business enterprises in which they had a pecuniary, interest. Your committee does not find any moral turpitude in connection with said transactions.” It was also found that Dr. Alcßrayer ‘‘lias used at different intervals por tions of the maintenance funds of this institution for the purchase and main tenance of automobiles used in connec tion with the institution, which trans actioni was cither authorized or sanc tioned by the state board of health.” The charge of nepotism at the state in stitution was also sustained by the com mittee. • In tin* opinion of the committee the sanatorium under Dr. Alcßrayer 'has made wonderful progress until now it is considered as one of the leading institutions of its character in the country. The complete report, addressed to the governor follows: “Wo. the undersigned mein be rs of the committee appointed by joint resolu tion of the house of representatives and senate of North Carolina, at the session of 1023. authorized and directed to in vestigate the chares made against the management of* the state sanatorium for tuberculosis, at Sanatorium. X- C.. report that we held several sessions of the committee during the session of the legislature, and afterwards pint in the city of Raleigh and heard the evidence both of the proponents of the resolution and the respondents, and we herewith transmit with our report to you in copy of the evidence taken at said hearings. ‘‘lt is the opinion of your committee that, as shown by the evidence. the state sanatorium for tuberculosis is doing a great work for the state, and that it has made considerable progYess and improvement under the manage ment of Dr. Meßryer since / lic took charge of this institution in ll)l-f: that at the time lie took •charge of the insti tution it'was in a somewhat dilapidated condition, due to the fact that the ap propriations theretofore made for rhis institution were insufficient to meet the demands and needs thereof. and that after Dr. Alcßrayer took charge, and at his solicitation and instigation, the state increased the appropriations, and under his management and ex penditure of the funds, it has developed into one of the leading institutions of its character in the country, and tlic evidence before the committee abundant ly shows that this institution Ims done a great work for the state of North. Caro lina. and in the opinion of this com mittee, the charges against the manage ment of this institution by Dr. Alc- Brayer are not sufficient, to warrant this committee in reconunending his re moval from said institution. “But your committee does find as a fact that. Dr. Alcßrayer and his son. Lewis Alcßrayer, have violated section 431 k) of the consolidated statutes of North Carolina of 1010, technically, in trading with business enterprises in which they had a pecuniary interest, but your committee does not find any moral turpitude in connection with said transactions. “.Your committee further finds that Dr. Alcßrayer has used at different in tervals portions of the maintenance funds of this institution for the pur chase and maintenance of automobiles used A n connection with the institution, which transaction was either authorized <>r sanctioned by. the state board of health. Your Committee is of the opinion that neither the state sanatorium at Sanatorium, nor in their opinion, any other public institution in North Caro lina, should be permitted to use main tenance funds ffr such purposes, it hav ing been suggested during said blaring that other public institutions are doing so. “It is also the opinion of the com mittee that the practice of trading with enterprises with which * heads of in stitutions are connected should be strongly condemned by the boards of directors who have charge thereof. “Your committee finds from the evi dence that nepotism lias been practiced at the state sanatorium, but they further find from the evidence that at the time it was inaugurated at said in stitution the conditions were such as justify it. but they further fiud trim the evidence that the conditions wnieb justify it, but they further find from the | they therefore recommend that the; practice thereof be discontinued. “Your committee finds that there he* been at times complaint made with respect to the food and the condition of the buildings at /lie state sanatorium, but it is the opijjtiou of the 1 committee . that this was nor due. to the manage ment of the institution but that it is due to thf* lack of funds and insufficient appropriation made by the state. - and ,your committee further tiuds from the evidence that sin'-" s he appropriations been adequate that the grounds for such complaint have ceased and both in h" and equipment* that the present condition of said institution is admirable. “Your committee takes pleasure in stating that .Dr. McCain, the diagnos tician at Sanatorium, from all the evi dence has done and is doing a remarkable work for the institution, that he is a man of high character and of unques tioned integrity. “Y’our committee further finds from' evidence that certain fees for examina tion of patients have been‘charged by the inbritution. and that certain rules and regulations have been established —the s-flrqe* which in the opin-j ioir of your r— are reasonable)’ and proper, but it is the opinion of * your committee that all the fees derived r from such examination, should be turn- 1 ed into' the funds for the use of Sana torium , exclusively. “Your committee further finds that there has been considerable complaint made because of the fact that Dr. Mc- Brayer. who is superintendent of said institution, is also postmaster at Sana torium. and that hev holds various other offices, including that of secretary of the* State MNlfcal association and director for the North Carolina Tubercular as sociation. and that the various employes of this institution have at different times rendered services in connection with these different departments, the re muneration for their services being allocated to the different offices under his control, and it is the opinion of your committee that the state of North Carolina should pay Dr. Alcßrayer suc h a salary as he is entitled to for liis entire time Yo be* devoted to the in stitution, and that all the remuneration lie receives from the various offices that are not inconsistent with his duties as superintendent such institution should go to the funds of the institu tion. / The report is signed by T.

News and Observer. “I shall certainly run for Governor if my party wants me to do so.” was the declaration with which Gilliam Grissom. United State's Collector of Revenue yesterday gave a three corner ed slant to the talk of the Republican candidate in 15)24. and which hereto fore has been confined almost exclusive ly to United) States District Attorney Irvin B. Tucker awl Isaac AI. Aleekins. wlio lias a position with the United States Alien Property Custodian in Washington. The announcement gives promise of a real battle for the position of flag bearer. % “AA’ould you resign your position as collector to run for Governor?” the Collector was asked. “I certainly will if my party calls, but I am not so sure about the call as T have had to make a number-of appointments and of course I have offended twenty for every oiic 'I have pleased."’ was the reply. • The collector was frankness itself in discussing the situation and made jt clear that if lie* lias anything to do with the campaign next year it will be a red hot one. regardless of who is the candidate. According to Air. Grissom lie* would prefer to see the race made by John AlOtley Alorehead. former national com mitteeman and long the dominant fac tor in the councils of the minority party in this State. But the chances of Alote head running are regarded as remote and the' collector, who has always been Alorehend’s right hand man and who served as secretary of the Republican .executive committee until appointed to office does not regard himself as an un likely second choice. “AATth a solidified party behind, (me I could win.” he de clared yesterday, but so far he is mak ing no claim of a solidified party. Both Tucker and Aleekins have been mentioned prominently not only in con- nection with the nomination for Gov ernor but as successors to Judge Henry G. Connor. The District Attorney has steadfastly refused to become a candi date in any sense of the word for a posi tion that lists not been vacated by the incumbent. But while it is well known that Air. Tucker would be by no means adverse to sitting with Judge Connor on the bench or succeeding him. the Dis trict Attorney has so far persistently ridiculed any mention of # hinisejf in connection with the gubernatorial race. On the other hand. Air. Aleekins is said to be making an active campaign from Washington for both positions and is charged by those in bis own party who wish him nb luck in eitlier race with planning to use the gubernatorial nomination as si stepping stone ti> the judgeship. AVhile all throe of the men now mentioned _ for the nomination bold federal office and all of them were ap pointed by President Harding there is this important difference. Both Cris som and Tucker were appointed with the advice and consent of: the Republi can machine in North Carolina while Aleekins went through to appointment under his own steam. It. is as certain as anything can he in politics thsit Grissom and Tucker will not contest with each other for the nomination and so far the latter has shown no disposition to enter the fray at all. But si contest between Grissom and Aleekins is an altogether different matter and one that would open up all sort of interesting possibilities as both meu arc veterans at- the game of poli tics. have no particular affection for each other and have no hesitation at hitting hard and often. Mr. Grissom's announcement that “Barkis 'is willing” may bo personal ambition or it may be an unwillingness to see Ike Meekius the standard bearer, but the collector made it “clear that whoever as the candidate he will insist upon a real campaign. ‘‘lt will not do to have a brilliant campaign with the expectation of losing and I have already written f'olrtnel Meekius that.” said Mr. Grissom yes terday. “Twenty-four hours a day on the job, suspension of everything that. i> not absolutely necessary for one year, reorganization of State government with an executive council, with one specialist for each department to super sede all boards and commissions <«nd sinking funds to meet all bond issues," were some of the things that Mr. Gris som stated yesterday he would stantf for if nominated. “I have read none of them but have saved them all for future reference" was the comment of the collector and pos sible candidate on recent discussions concerning the State’s finances- The breeding of snakes has become a recognized industry.
