His Nomination By Tre- j
^ mendous Majority.
Raleigh, June 29. ? Two State- 1
wide political contests are steaming.'
up to a grand finish next Saturday, j
when the Democratic voters of North ]
Carolina will determine whether they
will have J. C. B. Ehringhaus or
R. T. Fountain as their gubernator
ial nominee, and Senator Cameron
Morrison or Robert R. Reynolds as
their senatorial nominee in the No
vember election. The third race, that
for commissioner of. labor, with Col.
A. L. Fletcher and Clarence E.
Mitchell, both of Raleigh, as princi
pals, is an interesting side show.
The nomination of Mr. Ehringhaus
as candidate for governor is very
generally accepted, few believing Mr. i
Fountain can overcome the 47,000
lead in the first three-cornered pri
mary, and at a disadvantage in
organization, finances and in other
respects. Mr. Fountain is pictured as
a reluctant candidate in the second
race, pushed in by the insistence of.
supporters who seem bent upon an
noying the leader, rather than enter
taining hopes for the success of their
candidate.
Major L. P. McLendon predicts a !
100,000 majority for his candidate,!
.Mr. Ehringhaus, in the second pri- ?
mary. others saying it will be two-!

Contest Between Galloway and Henry
To Be Settled in the Primary Saturday
a _______
Aside from the great interest
being taken by the Democrats of
Transylvania county in the run-off
primary Saturday between Ehring
haus and Fountain for Governor, and
Reynolds and Morrison for the
United States Senate, there is a con
test of local interest to be settled in j
the second primary.
M. W. Galloway and W. AT. Henry
are in the second race for nomination
on the county Democratic ticket for]
the legislature. In the June primary i
Messrs. Galloway, Henry, T. C.I
Henderson and S. P. Verner were in j
the running. While Mr. Henry led
the field of four contestants, he dW
not, however, receive any thing like1
a majority vote, and Mr. Galloway!;
being second high man, was urged by
his friends to enter the second con-j
test. Mr. Galloway announced that |
he would do so as long as the gover
norship and the senatorship races
were being run over, thus enabling
him to enter the second race without
any additional cost to the county.
Mr. Henry is present member of
the legislature, having been elected
two years ago and is now asking
election to a second term. He is run
ning on his record made in the last
session of the General Assembly.
1 Mr. Galloway, considered to be one
of the best informed men of ? the
county, has announced his platform
through the press, which is receiving
I considerable support. No predictions
! are being heard as to the outcome of
: the local contest, but all agree that
'it will be a closely contested affair. '
Yr^mdExtra
Bring Campers
v.
Transylvania county, organized
camp centre of the Southeast, is giv
ing welcome today to hundreds of
boys and girls who come for the camp
season. Directors jnd staff members j
| in most of the camps have been here i
I some time, making ready for the com
I ing of the campers. Special trains
with numerous Pullman cars will be- j

end all will know that the summer \
camp people are back in the commu- j

heat is intense to live here in the ]
cool breezes of the hills, is official j
announcement in the community that !
the campers have come back.
All organized summer camps are
constructed in accordance with the
best engineering ability, with every
thing provided for the promotion of
health, and are operated by men and
women especially trained for the
purpose of giving the best instruc
tions in health-giving sports and ex
ercise. Camp life in this county is !
not confined in its activity to provid
ing pleasure for the young people,
but noes further and does greater
work than that. The training given j
[ at these camps, the foods prepared
I by expert dietitians, the regularity
I of the lives in camp, together with
j the health-giving atmosphere and j

few of the campers here last year]
will be back at Keystone this year. j
Caretakers have kept the grounds I
and buildings in perfect conditicw atj

girls and young women here last
year have expressed keen desire to ;
again enter that place of beauty and]
take up their regular camp life forj
the summer. I
ILLAHEE I
Camp lllahee opens today for the j
1932 season, with all former staff |
members, except two, back for this ]
year's work. Mr. and Mrs. Hinton j
McCleod, directors, are well pleased |
with the enrollment and especially j
pleased that so many of the camp- 1
ers here last year are coming back
for another two months this year.
Miss Martha Schnerder, ot Louis
ville, Ky., is in charge of dancing this
, year, while Mrs. Elliott, of Jackson- j

! camp of this organized camp center
of the Southeast, opens today with its
! regular summer term, after having
been most active during the pre-sea
son month. A good enrollment is re

TRANSYLVANIA
Camp Transylvania opened Wed
nesday, with all old staff members
back in the work, and with announce
ment that an unusually gratifying
number of campers have enrolled for
the season.
Capt. Fred Miller, one of the most
prominent citizens of Brevard, is in
Iterested in Camp Transylvania, and
(under his direction much work has
tbeen done during the past months on
! the grounds and buildings, making
this popular camp more attractive
than ever before.
There are several young men from
as far south as New Orleans en
, rolled at Camp Transylvania, it is
announced.

Mrs. D. R. Roof, director of Camp
Connestee Cove announces that her
camp will open on July 6, with prac

plant by erection of new cabins to
take care of the increased enrollment.

July 7th to camp at Connestee Cove.
pure water contribute largely to bet
ter health and increased strength for (
all the youiig men and 'women who
are so fortunate as to be able to at
tend these camps.
This county's best business season
of the year is enjoyed while the
carhps are in operation, and all people
j of i this section appreciate this fact,
j Brevard has made an enviable repu
| tation for itself in "treating the
j campers right." That is the slogan of
the community, and very, very few j
? charges have ever been lodged against J
any business house in Brevard fori
"over-charging" or "sticking" the
campers. On the other hand, it is
known, the citizens of Brevard go out
of their way to meet campers more
than half way, to make them feel at
home here, and to give them the most
courteous and considerable treatment.
It is this spirit that has had much
to do in making Transylvania county
the organized camp center of the
Southeast.
I As a result of the coming of the
J campers, many tourists are arriving.
Fathers and mothers of the young
imen.and young women in camp come
! to Brevard and live in the hotels and
| boarding houses, taking their vaca
i tions at the same time the camp sea
son is on, and being thus enabled to
jbe near their boys ahd girls.
eaglesTnest !
i
With the closing of an unusually
successful pre-season session, during
which time many men and women
from the South enjoyed family camp
life at Eagles Nest, the regular sea- j

heimer is director of Eagles Nest '
Camp, which is considered one of I
the most popular camps in the com- 1
munity. . ;
Miss Oppenheimer keeps open
house at Eagles Nest, always glad I
for the townspeople to call and meet |
the campers and officials. Eagles i
Nest is located in the Little River j
Valley, reached by county road leav- 1
i nfjj Highway 28 at Davidson River, j
ROCKBROOK !

of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Carrier, an
nounces an unusually large enroll

that practically all the young ladies [
who were in camp last season are j

; with several new campers arriving. |
Rockbrook Camp for Girls has a>
nation-wide reputation, and is always j
[ filled to capacity.
I CAROLINA j
j Camp Carolina is opening today!
i with an enrollment that_ is declared,
! by Dr. Meade Bernard and J. P. Wil
I liams as being "most gratifying."
I They express belief that this will be
lone of the most successful seasons
I ever experienced by that popular
I boys' camp. Much work has been done]
on the grounds, the water front, the
! golf course and the shacks during
the winter and spring .months. All
shacks have been re-screened, and im
provements made on the waterfront
are most noticeable.

SAYS BONUS ARMY IS
ON JOB UNTIL BOYS
WIN MIR VICTORY
J. Io Albert Rack From Three
Week's Encampment With
The Army g
NEWSPAPERS DO NOT
GIVE THE FACTS HE SAY S
Predicts Army of 60,000 With- 1
in Next Few Weeks ? Tells
Of Aid to Army
J. L. Albert has returned to Bre
vard, after spending throe weeks
with the Bonus Expeditionary Force,
and talks interestingly of thj efforts
being made by the former soldiers to
obtain legislation that will make the
monies represented by the certifi
cates, due in 1945, available now. Ths
Brevard man says that many reports
in the daily papers, sent out from
Washington by the A. P. and U. P.,
are ridiculous in the extreme, and en
tirely misrepresent the true condi
tions. He cites . an instance of this
in the statement a few days ago that
there was less than three hundred
dollars in the mess fund. On that
very day, Mr. Albert says, there was
almost one thousand dollars in the
fund, and huge quantities of frod
that had been sent to the men.
"They are there to stay until some
thing is done about the mattf-r, and
the crowd will grow in number each
day," Mr. Albert declared. He pre
dicts that at least 60,000 will be in
the camp within the next 30 days.
Mr. Albert told of the day when
the government cut off free medical
treatment for the men in the bonus
army, and how Gallagher's Hospital,
a huge private institution, threw open
its doors to the men for free medical
treatment and hospital service to
those needing it. Mr. Albert praised
Father Coughlin, a Catholic priest,
who not only gave of his time, but
made a donation of ?5,000 to the boys.
Other thousands of dollars have been
donated, much of it by Washington
people, while a goodly sum waA re
ceived from tourists passing through
Washington. Mr. Albert said that all
Washington people, the tourists and
many members of Congress urged the
boys to hold out and hang on until
they realized their aims.
North Carolina produce men have
done lots for the boys, according to
Mr. Albert. One produce dealer cave
