Last week police were informed of four instances in ,'which persons were bitten. Maybe the dogs were licens tr)! fid, maybe they were strays. But the bite of a licensed ..'.kdog is seldom less harmful than a bite of an unlicensed t, lanimal. It is the opinion of the town commissioners that any frog owner willing to let his pet roam the streets, knock over trash cans looking for food, and in general creato a nuisance, is not interested in keeping the dog. In that case, the owner should not be indignant if the dog is lock ed up in a city pound or eventually destroyed." If any likely hounds are found, owners of the dog .track may consider enrolling, them for a short course on "How to Catch the Mechanical Rabbit or Pay Day at the : Races." As it is, the dogs are making a 'race track out of city streets. The people are getting fed up, the police :aVe getting fed up and the commissioners are prepared to ;take drastic steps to bring the situation under control. The city attorney has been instructed to write an ef feclivo dog ordinance, one with teeth in it. Dog owners who refuse to take their pets seriously will undoubtedly get bitten. FOLLOWING H13 NOSZ this summer. .'. . But the other delegates probably will. . . . ' . . . Kerr Scott PM's on the best show, having a band and a parade down Fayetteville Street. . . . John son also made a grand entrance. . . . So did Sen. W. B. Umstead . . . Albright and Broughton didn't try any of this. . . . Not that badges have anything to do with it, for any fool can wear one, but Umstead and John son badges . . . buttons, etc .V. . were more in evidence than those for Broughton and Scott. . . . JUST A JOKE The candid ates are listing contributions and expenses these days ... as per the silly law requires it . . . and in most instances these statements are just one hfige joke, son. Then People Believe in Magic People believe in magic. They believe that a group of men sitting together at a meeting can give them what they want without knowing what they want. Take n rilv rommissioners' meetiner. Instead of the "ripen forum which it should be, with townspeople-giving jneir views ana opinions, mere is seldom anyone but the commissioners and mayor there. But when laws and ordinances are nassed not in tru iing of some of the townspeople, the same who didn't ?y$ve a hoot before, there's screaming and moaning and flashing ot teeth. jf Indeed, the only time anyone shows up at a meeting when he is against something or wants something. tW An examole of irood ritv iKlminixtrntion (icriinvil rp.

Barbour, chairman of the meter committee, "The very presence of so many people is proof that the meter system will turn out all right." It has. Another step in the right direction was taken recent ly by Beaufort commissioners who invited all townspeople from outlying districts to come to the June meeting and air their views as to why or why not they should be taken into the city. City board meetings are our meetings., It may be human nature to kick when things go wrong, but it's com mon sense to plan and see that they go right. mrmJd to 4K3BiiiwiwnijBiaM . . , I ... He said some things about 1 1 Harry S. Truman which many a 1 1 why have the law? Well, just our love for humbuggery, perhaps, but it stinks to high heaven! Kerr Scott said last week that his total con tributions have totaled $7,241.65, with expenditures, $3,831.09. per haps that's all he konws about though this hardly seems possible . . . so Just out it down as more political tomfoolery. The same . . . and more . . . goes for Charles M. Johnson, who lists $8,078 in contri butions and $8,015.86 spent Wow! It's all in the game, so please ex cuse both of them. It would bo safe to say that around $500,000 has been spent for candidates for State offices since Christmas.

He's for better roads, better schools, better pay for all State employees, better finances, better dairies, better farms, 'a well-round health pro gram. The four top candidates for Governor on the Democratic ticket ... R. Mayne Albright, W. Kerr Scott, Charles Johnson, and Oscar Barker . . . are all good men.

A rumor . . . and it may be fact . . . came into the capital city last week that 600 Negroes have been registered in Sampson County alone. The Negro vote is something po litical candidates in North Caro lina must reckon with now and in the future. Every one of the men running for Governor and for the U. S. Senate wants the Negro vote, but he won't admit it, for fear of losing the white variety. Sen. W. B. Umstead Is in a peculiar posi tion with respect to the colored ballot. In Eastern N. Carolina . . . particularly in Northeastern N. C . . the whites are against him because his chief supportrr, Gov ernor Cherry, played fair with the Ndgro in trials in that area several months ago. But on the other hand the leading Negroes in Durham , . . and In many sections of the State . . . are dead against Sen. Umstead because he blessed out President Truman over his stand on the civil rights Issue. NOTUS The Itev.

He said some things about Harry S. Truman which many a delegate would like to have said . . . and the trouble he had with the microphone . . . Long a De mocratic wheelhorse, he didn't want anybody in Washington try ing to keep him in place . . . and he threw a darn or two at the mike which prevented him from free wheeling about the stage and throwing his Camerisms away from the .radio audience and the 3,000 in the auditorium. ...

THE CONVENTION Former Governor Cam Morrison stole the show nt the Democratic State Con vention here last week with an "Old-Timcy" speech ... He hasn't been elected to any important of fice since 1S20. but he can always put on the rousements . . . Two things made his speech interesting " Vole Tor CHARLES II. joimson For GOVERNOR 'The most imporlaei activity of the Stale Government is the School System." Charles M.

FOLGER There was n lot of , eyebrow lifting around Raleigh last Friday when it was found that ; Congressman John Folgcr was go ing on the air in a Statewide net work in behalf of Charles John son. Folger is recognized as one of labor's best friends in 'Coneress, and labor helped him defeat Hhur morid Chatham for Congress two years ago. Although not given to kicking labor around, Johnson is not regarded as pro leader . . hence the elevated eyebrows. . . . . What most folks don't seem , to know Is that Harry Llewellyn ot Surry County and Charles Johnson married sisters. The Folgers and the Llewellyns in Surry are now practically one and the same fami ly.
