Name Suggested as Candidate
for Governor Caused Great
Flurry In North Carolina
Raleigh, Sept. 23. ? A flUrry was
aused last week by the Charlotte
observer stovy from a former State
JiciaJ that Josephus Daniels expects
j ba a candidate for Governor and
,"ould make his announcement Sun
' ay, or some Sunday soon. Mr. Dan
ils declined to comment on the story,
'eople here believe he would prefer
j continue as a "crusading editor,"
ice to attack or approve, to being a j
itate official himself, even Governor. '
R. T. Fountain, cornered by news- i
lapor men, claiming his views are i
nown, finally gave four platform
lanks. He favors quadriennial re- j
.ahiation; full "State support of the j
ix months school, with no ad valorem |
ax; opposes the short ballot, except
:cntralization only for efficiency;
.igainst all sales taxes, but considers
he luxury tax the lesser of two evils.
Also, he is for economy. "That's
.?nough now. Other planks may de
velop," he said.
D. G. Brummit has been busy mak
ng speeches recently, but has said j
lothing about his possible and ex- j
jected entry for governorship.
Willis Smith is back in Raleigh, '
searing scars but apparently no ,
worse off as a result of his automobile j
accident near Charlotte a few weeks j
'.go. He is eloquent enough in praise j
if the hospitality of Charlotte people, !
but says nothing about his prospec- '
tive candidacy. J. C. B. Ehringhaus,
already announced, is Visiting and
speaking in several sections of the
State. The stage last week was held
largely by Maxwell, due to his plat
fcrm announcement.

WITH SCHOOL FOLKS
Raleigh, Sept. 23 ? A full-fledged
vow is on between A. J. Maxwell,
Commissioner of Revenue and candi
iate for Governor, and the school
"oiks, or a school man, Supt. R. H.
Latham, of the Winston-Salem
schools, which gives every promise
of extending to the entire school field.
Mr. Maxwell had a good word for the
lew school law, Mr. Latham answer
ed and criticized it in a public ad
iress, and Mr. Maxwell responded,
riticizing Mr. Latham.
The subject matter of the contr/
' rsy is less important than the fact
'hat the row, smoulderfng for a long
ime, is now in the open. School folks
?n general, seem to fear Mr. Maxwell,
' thinking he is after them, and the
break with Mr. Latham, a member
, ";f the State teacher body's legisla
tive committee, indicates the war is
. >n. Almost as a body, it is asserted,
, the teachers will oppose Mr. Max
, ".veil's ambition to be governor. Ap
[ K-.rently Mr. Maxwell does ?ot fear
" "hem. He may figure he will get
more votes from people who are with
I him on reduction of governmental
<"osts, including schools, than he will
' lose.

JOHNSON MEMORIAL
FUND IS GROWING
M
. '< !
There is to be no monument of
marble or granite erected to the
memory of this great Christian
statesman, worthy as that might
seem to many who knew and loved
Livingston Johnson. But his name is
to be perpetuated in the Central
Building at Meredith College, which
henceforth is to be known as, John
son Memorial Building.
The $200,000 which the Baptist
churches of North Carolina are now
undertaking to raise is to meet press
ing obligations of our Baptist State
Convention now due, and resting
mainly on the plant at Meredith.
The churches of the Transylvania
association, through their delegates
to ths association which met recently
at Glady Branch, voted unanimously
by rising vote, to accept the obliga
tion of raising our quota of $400.00 .
The amount asked of each church
ie not large. And we believe there is
not an active church in the associa
tion but that can, with comparative
ease, raise the amount asked of it, if
pastor and people will approach the
task with unanimity and with a
cheerful and willing mind.
I think it would be well for each
church to appoint a committee at
once of five 6r six of its most wide
awake and consecrated young wo
men to see every member of the
church and take his or fier offering.
And it might be well to take the
name of each member and the amount
of Jiis offering. And we trust this
wori: will be done immediately, cer
tainly within the next three or four
weeks.
And let me remind you that this is
not primarily an offering to the mem
ory of Livingston Johnson. If it
were seme of us might feel that the
obligation is not urgent at a time
like this. But this is an offering to
Livingston Johnson's great Master,
land yours, and mine. Let us prove
(the sincerity of our love to Him by
gladly giving to His work.
With sincere and earnest solicita
tion,
J. K. HENDERSON.
