Major Gubernatorial
Candidates Born
Out Of State
i
I
i For the first time in 104 years,
l
North Carolina is destined to
j elect a governor who was born in
another State.
| Both of the major candidates,
Ralph McDonald and R. Gregg
; Cherry, were born outside the
I Tar Heel State. Both decided on
North Carolina as a good place to
work and live.
' Cherry vCas born in York coun
ty, S. Car. McDonald was
born in Omaha, 111. As a baby.]
he was taken to Arkansas and
was reared in that State. Lik'
C' - '.ry, he received his higher i
education at Duke. '
One of these men, barring a
tremendous upset, will be \i>!'i
Carolin.Vr. next Governor.
It was is 10 that North Carolina
j - for the first and only time
riveted a (Jovcrnor born in anoth
er State. He was the able Jolia
Motley Morehead, a native ci
Pittsylvania county, Va.
! To go a little deeper into hies
i
tory, Morehead was the second
' Governor elected by popular vote
in North Carolina. The first was
Edward Bishop Dudley, a native
of Onslow county and a resident
of New Hanover when he was
elected in 1836.
Danbury, N. C., Thursday, April 27, 1944.
An Editorial.
When the Bubble Busted
It was at a great Atlanta hotel. Plates
had been laid for 250.
The tables were banked with fluffs of
immaculate linen. Silver scintillated
under the blazing lights.
Through the aisle:; floated incense of
roses from the deep South.
A band in the balcony throbbed en
chanting- music, leading number "Hail
to the Chief."
Back in the cold refrigerators reposed
huge stacks of Budweisci. On side ta
bles cut-glass wine cups awaited the ef
fervescing Champagne.
There was food —delicious viands that
would abundantly satisfy inner man.
The chef was there, panopli .cl, ready to
serve.
But—you ask —what was the occasion?
Why, child, didn't you know—it was
the launching of the Byrd-for-President
boom.
Georgia was vieing for the distinguish
ed honor of presenting a palpitant deb
utante for the nation's most coveted
honor.
(The idea, I think, fumigated in the
fuzzy brain of Cotton Ed Smith of South
Carolina).
Well, what about it?
There was a painful wait of 40 minutes
overtime.
Then 51 men and five women showed
up.
A photographer that got in somehow
pictured a bleak looking feast setting.
The head waiter in his full dress suit,
looked at his watch, sighed, then signal
led.
The waiters, disconsolate, began to
tote off the fluffy linen, the butter and
the scintillating silverware.
The Byrd boom had busted. The eve
ning-suited sponsors, not yet drunk,
sidled, spoofed, and then placated their
napkins, and like the Arabs, folded their
tents and silently stole away.
The brilliant and distinguished
Virginian was thtfs sacrificed by his fool
friends.
The Byrd strategy was always bad.
The Byrd tactics were doomed from the
start. Byrd lo one oi the star Haters.
He never saw in the New Deal anything
but wild, destructive spending which
wa i sure to bankrupt the nation. Byrd
ntver had any plank in h ; - platform but
an ill-advised one which said: "Sit on
the barrel head."
Senator Byrd's theme was never any
thing but "Hell, look what it costs."
Byrd's friends gradually disappeared
in the fog that settled around. Senator
Bailey had flirted a little, then ensconse
ed himself with: "I am with you if the
President doesn't choose to run for a
IVth."
Barkley secured a rapprochement.
Now he is campaigning for a IVth.
Congressman Dough ton shut up in his
shell, with his latch string hanging on
the outside.
There are Many morals, but one of the
most potent ig this:
"Don't tackle a buzz gaw."

for the spreading of sweet potato
diseases. Manure is usually con

manure to force plants, be sure to
place it at least 3 to 4 inches be
low the potatoes. • 1 .. '
I After the seed potatoes hav|
been placed in the row or beds,
