C, under the Act of March 3, 187a TAR HEEL . . People & Issues ... by Cliff Blue HODGES People who follow politics and government closely can hardly recall when someone who was suddenly thrust into the limelight and public office have me't the situation so superbly as has Luther Hodges. He hasn't made premature statements of policy but is clearly walking slowly and carrying a big stick, so to speak. We expect the new governor to meet the issues squarely and in so doing he will certainly start to build up a group of foes who be fore many weeks will start shoot ing at him. Remember this: Luther Hodges is not the novice in politics that many stories would have you be lieve. Several years ago he serv ed as a member of the State Highway and Public Works Com mission and highway commis sioners usually know their way around in politics. HARRY GREENE Come Jan uary 1955 and Hoke County's Harry Greene will be represent ing his county for the fifth straight term in the 3eneral As sembly. Like his fellow legisla tor from adjoining Scotland County, Roger Kiser, Greene has proved to be a valuable watch dog in the Lower House where he often asked many questions both in committee meeting and on the House floor. "Gentlemen, I want to ask a question," were familar words from the Hoke re presentative. Last week Greene pointed out to the writer items from Under the Dome in the Raleigh News and Observer telling of Ed Scheidt commissioner of motor vehicles and Joe Garrett, assistant com missioner who were preparing to leave for a week to attend the 22nd annual conference of Amer ican Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators in Los Angeles, Calif., of Utilities Commission Chairman Stanley Winborne and Commissioners Harry Westcott, B. H. McMahan and Sam Worthing- ton being in Chicago representing North Carolina at an annual con ference of the National Associa tion of Railroad and Utilities Commissioners; and of two State Highway Commission officials State Engineer W. H. Rogers, Jr., and Bridge Engineer T. B. Gun ter, Jr., being in Seattle, Wash. as delegates to the American As sociation of State Highway Offi cials. Greene says he can't understand why it is necessary for the tax payers to have to bear the ex pense of the State sending more than one representative from the various departments on these long and expensive trips. MAKEPEACE A few weeks ago when this column had some thing to say about Luther Hodges as a likely candidate for Gover nor in 1956, we said that in the event of Hodges election Harold Makepeace of Sanford would be close to the political throne in North Carolina. Now that Hodges is in the Governor's chair, we feel no reason to withdraw the statement. Our prediction is that Harold Makepeace will be brought into the State government soon, probably as Administrative As sistant to the Governor. When Hodges was a candidate for Lieu tenant Governor, Makepeace not only managed his campaign in Lee County but helped him in other counties as well. They now operate a Howard Johnson Res taurant together. WILLIAMS Another Lee County man reported to be very close to the new Governor is Senator Warren Williams, a long time Sanford mayor and political power in Lee. WATER CONSERVATION In addition to segregation and taxes, the water conservation issue is expected to come to the front during the 1955 session. Recent droughts and .the serious water shortages in many of the towns and cities throughout the State will cause the General Assembly to give a close look as to what should be done from the stand point of the public's interest. IKE LONDON Ike London, brisky editor of the Rockingham Post-Dispatch, epitomed Strom Thurmond's victory In South Car olina by saying: "The write-in vote may be deemed a great vic tory for readin', writin' and 'rithmetic." WILL WAIT The death of Governor Umstead and the eleva tion of Hodges to the guberna torial chair will cause many of those eager to get into the 1956 race for governor to slow down a little and see how Luther Hod ges stands when the General As sembly is over.

His memo read: House of Representatives, 228 Democrats; 207 Republicans. Sen ate, 49 Democrats; 46 Republi cans; 1 Independent. We must hand it to John that he is almost as good a political prognosticator in '54 as Jim Farley proved to be in 1936 when Farley said Roose velt would carry' every state ex cept Maine and Vermont which he did. o Farm Question QUESTION: Why does tobacco grow poorly when it follows les- pedezaT ' ANSWER: Two big reasons. When black root rot is present in the soil, susceptible tobacco suf fers severely from root rot di sease if preceded by a crop of lespedeza. It has also been found that lespedeza favored the deve lopment of nematode root knot on tobacco crops which follow it. QUESTION: Do Bermuda grass and clover go well together? ANSWER: In field tests con ductec! by the USDA clover grow ing in combination with Coastal Bermuda grass produced as much forage as was obtained when Bermuda was grown without a legume but with 100 pounds ot applied nitrogen. 0 OBEY THE TRAFFIC LAWS BOBBY CARTER'S ESS0 SERVICENTER JUNCTION OLD AND NEW 15-A SOUTH BiHrnn xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxixxxxxxxxxxxrnz SPECIAL ON MANY ITEMS OF NATIONALLY ADVERTISED MERCHANDISE Mens Suits and Topcoats Ladies' Suits - Dresses - Toppers Rather than wait until After Christmas To offer you these Reductions, I have decided to do it NOW, So you can enjoy these fine clothes from now on.
