POLITICAL POT IN -RALEIGH CONTINUES TO
mm WITH BIG ANB LITTLE FRY IN STCW |
, MjUBfcr-la. only four if
the 11 electro Siate offices to be
filled at the next election, one consti
tutional and three statutory, has.
there been no talk of candidates to
oppose the incumbents, and predic
tion is made that not all of the four,
possibly none of them, will have op
position. All of the other seven, ?
the present light, will have to enter
' the primary,
Captain Nathan O'fcerry, State
Treasurer, if he stands for re-elec
tion, is not expected to be opposed.
He has the support of all elenients
and no candidate could hope to make
headway against him. If he should
decide not to seek the office again, it
would let down the bars to a flock
of candidates. ~
Nor is there likely to be opposition ?
to Dan C. Boney, Insurance Conimis-;
sioner. His record of ability and ef
ficiency for about four years now is
expected to bear the closest scrutiny.
And it is not likely that Dr. A. T. 1
Allen will be opposed as State Super
' intendent of Public Instruction. So
far there has been no intimation of
a contender. These two officials ap
pear safe from opposition. In fact,
there was not the slightest sugges
tion of an attack on either in the
recent Legislative session which start
ed assaults on all other elective of
fices with the "short ballot". They
alone appeared immune.
Just what will happen to Stanley
Winborne, who comes up for election
for a six-year term as member of the
Corporation Commission, is proble
matical. Mr. Winborne is. a Gardner
appointee, although he was placed in
position in the fight on the Banking
Division as opposing his chief. He
sided with the other two members in
attempting to keep this division with
the commission; whereas, Governor
Gardner was fighting for a separate
Banking Department. Whether this
fight has alienated the Gardner sup
port remains to be seen.

But the other three officers who,
it to awxTirt'edrwH^eek to'-iwtain their
offices, are expected to have to fight
for them. The latest intimation is
that Chester Bell, assistant superin
tendent and auditor at State's Prison,
will oppose State Auditor Baxter
Durham. Mr. Ball was formerly aud
itor of Cumberland county. He is an
active American Legion member and
| will make a bid for the support of
the veterans. Secretary of State J.
A. Hartness will be opposed, appar
ently by Stacy Wade, former State
Insurance Commissioner, with a pos- 1
sibility that Robert Grady Johnson,
of Pender county, a cousin of Charles
M. Johnson, Director of Local Gov
ernment, may be a contender.
It is not likely that William A. Gra
ham, Commissioner of Agriculture, |
will get by unopposed. He and the
Gardner administration are. not on
the best of terms and any respectable
candidate could get support. Whether
enough to unhorse the commissioner
remains to be seen. George Watts ,
Hill, Durham, has considered this
race, but probably will not run. Lau
rie McEachern, Hoke county, is con
sidering it, but it's not widely known.
Col. J. W. Harrelson, of the Conser
vation and Development Department,
took a crack at the "Methuslated and
Wattsized" Department of Agricul
ture last week. Commissioner Graham
came back strong, answering the at
tack referring to the Gardner fight
on him and mentioning the tankling
episode in which he was ignored in
the naming of delegates to theindus- ?
trial and agricultural conference two :
years ago in Asheville. Harrelson :
closed up and a "hatchet-burying" in- j
cident is under way.
A flock of candidates will be after ]
the new Department of Labor job. 1
Tom P. Jimison, Charlotte, colorful 1
preacher turned lawyer and exponent <
of labor, has announced. Major A. L. 1
Fletcher, deputy Insurance Commis- '?
sioner, has said he expects to an- 1
nounce. It begins to look a little more ;
like J. Dewey Dorsett, of the Indus- <
trial Commission, may get into that ^
race, or that Thad Eure, clerk of the i
House of Representatives, will enter <
the contest. R. R. Lawrence, pres- t
ident of the State Federation of La- <
bor, is considering it, while Mrs. t
James L. Scott, daughter of the late I
Dr. Charles D. Mclver, has been ]
mentioned. |
Some political writers, maybe in- \
ipired, eliminate all of the guberna
torial prospects except Attorney Gen
eral Dennis C. Brummitt and Lieu
:enant Governor R. T. Fountain, i
The eliminated prospects are J. C. B. i
Ehringaus, Albert L. Cox, A J. t
Maxwell, Willis Smith and Josephus t
Daniels. At this time and from this j
point of view, a Maxwell-Fountain j
"inish fight appears more promising. !
Even though Senator Cameron Mor- t
?ison and Mr. Maxwell once disagreed |
.?cry cordially, it is asserted that Mr. s
Maxwell more nearly represents the |
Morrison thought than any of the j
)ther prospective candidates? and- no j
;andidate would sneeze at the Mor
risonian support. ,
HAPPY OCCASION AT
PLEASANT GROVE HOME '?
Mr. and Mrs. S. Hamilton of Pleas- ]
ant Grove entertained a host of j
friends Thursday evening, July 23, in ]
honor of their daughter's, Miss Thel- j
ana Hamilton and Mi*. Anderson ./
Banks' birthday. |
Miss Hamilton has been confined 1
to her bed for several months with 1
pulmonary Tuberculosis, and for that i
reason could not take an active part 1
in the entertainment. But in spite of 1
this fact she thoroughly enjoyed the t
evening because with her, to see |
others happy is happiness for her. i
The color scheme of pink and green |
was beautifully carried out in the i
decorations and an artistic arrange- }
ment of sweet William and mountain ]
fern added much to the attractiveness >
of the rooms. 1
String music was furnished dur
ing the evening by Miss Marguerite
Allen, Mrs. S. Hamilton, Messrs. i i
Charlie Allen, Coy Banks and Finley I
Orr. A number of delightful Span
ish solos were also rendered by Mrs. '
Charlie Allen.
After the music several games and '
contests were enjoyed by everyone,
with prizes going to Miss Arrie I
Rushton and Mr. Charlie Allen
At the close of the evening the
birthday cake, which was attractively
arranged in a setting of sweet Wil
liam and mountain ferns, was light
ed by Mr. Anderson Banks and a de- j
lightful iced course was served to the
following guests: Misses Belle Jack
son, Arrie Rushton, Sylva Banks, and
Sue Hamilton, Messrs. Charles Jack- i
son, Lee Hamilton, Aldon Drake, An- ,
derson Banks, Watson Banks and
Coy Banks, Mr. and Mrs. Creed |
Banks and Mrs. Ida Rushton of ,
Pleasant Grove, Mr. and Mrs. Robert |
Wilson of Beuiah, Mr. Robert Mor- ,
gan. Mr. James Dalton, Mr. and Mrs.
Finley Orr, Miss Eeline Orr, Mr. and
Mrs. Wesley Allen, Misses Blanche,
Marguerite and Emogene Allen,!
Messrs. Robert and Glenn. Allen of I
Etowah, Mr. Julius Morgan of De
troit, Mich., Mr. W. R. Thomas of St.
Petersburg, Fla., Mr. and Mrs. Bob
Hobb of Hilgirt, Miss Lena Allen of
Hendersonville and Mr. and Mrs.
Charlie Allen of El Paso, Texas.
An Eskimo lady exclaimed with a
smile,
"I do not pretend to the latest in
tyle,
But you'll have to admit that up here
in the cold
I never wear bathing-suits you could
call bold."
Two attorneys, one decidedly glum
of countenance, met on the street.
"Well, how's business?" the first
asked of the dismal one.
"Rotten!" the pessimist replied, "I
just chased an ambulance twelve
miles, and found a lawyer in it."
BRUMMUT IS AFTER
N. C. Ott COMPANIES
i
Raleigh, N. C. July 29? Attorney ,
Genera! Dennis G. Brummitt this
week coni??3ed^an^iinpaitapt.ti??B-l
tigation into the operation of the F
major oil companies opera tirfg in I
North Carolina.
Mr. Brummitt in recent weeks had
received numerous complaints that
t&e various companies were operating
in violation of the state laws against
illegal combinations, and that con
tracts they were making with filling
station operators required exclusive
use of the stations, also contrary to
law.
So important to the people of North
Carolina did Mr. Brummitt consider
this matter, that fee "took personal
charge of the investigation, and con
ducted it throughout. While he em
phasized that the state has no right
to set the price of any product, he
pointed out that it does have the
right to protect the trade channels of
the state in such a manner that
throttling of competition is elimi- 1
nated. - I
Mr. Brummit believes however that
the business men of the state who op
erate small filling stations have a
right to be protected from any en
croachment of their right to sell
whatsoever products they desire; and
he also feels that any attempt, or
what appears to be an attempt, to'
establish a monopoly in favor of some
oil companies must be guarded
against because of its eventual evil
effect on the people as a whole, who
have to pay the gagpline bills. This is
something, he thinks, which is im
portant to every citizen of the state,
whether living in the cities or on the
farms, because most of them drive
automobiles.
The various contracts of the com
panies were explained. It was admit
ted that under certain leasing condi
tions competitive products are barr
ed, but all of the companies have al
ternative contracts for those filling
station operators who do not care to
ease their stations.
Mr. Brummitt will study the evi
ience during the next six weeks and
will announce his decision September
iirst. If any violation of the laws are
liscovered, they will be revealed, and
he companies held guilty will be vig
irously prosecuted in the interests of
he people of the state.
'eculiar job, the iceman's,
Odd things about it is,
die more he gets cold-shouldered
The better for his biz.
"Tell me, my dear, how do you
nanage .to- get the maid up so early
n the morn?"
"It was rather clever of me. I in
roduced her to the milkman."

TRUT
TIRE ADVERTISING
WINS!
When we advertised the fact that Fire
stone was furnishing us complete lines of
Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires that not only
met the price but beat the quality and con
struction of every grade of special brand
tires sold by mail order houses and others,
the mail order houses made vigorous pro
tests to Better Business Bureaus and made
demands upon newspapers not to accept
Firestone or our advertising.
We cannot blarne them for they did
not want car owners to know that they
could get, at no more cost, a better tire
made by a leading manufacturer, bearing
his name and guarantee plus our guaran
tee and our service.
When car owners awakened to this
fact, they came to us, compared the sec
tions we had cut from Firestone Tires and
special brand mail order tires, and were
astounded at the Extra Values we were
giving.
As a result, our business and that of
other Firestons Dealers throughout the
country, increased so fast that it has been
necessary for Firestone to run their factor
ies twenty-four hours a day and Firestone
sold more tires in April, May and June
than in any like period in the history of
the company.
In our advertising we do not make com
parisons involving laboratory tests which
you cannot verify except in a laboratory ?
neither do we make comparisons of con
struction or price based on misleading
classifications such as first line tire, sec
ond line tire, or third line tire* ? we do not
make comparisons to confuse and mislead
you as to actual values and service ? We
only make statements and comparisons
that you can verify for yourself in our
store before you purchase the tire.
Come in today and get the greater
safety, extra quality and extra values
found only in Firestone Tires.
