Since Luther Hodges stems from Leaksville and since his prede cessor, the late William B. Urn stead. came from Durham, you would assume our next governor would come from east of Raleigh A group of political old-timers, sitting around engaging in a little conversational whittling here the other day. could not recall when we have had no rumored, avowed, or both, candidates for governor this close to campaign time. One of our friends asked a news man about this on the street last week and got this reply: "Don’t be surprised if we change the con stitution and re-elect Luther Hodges." Stranger things have happened —but we doubt the governor would be greatly interested in the prop osition. After all. he has held the job, already, nearly three years, and it's a pretty fast pace- -partic ularly for a man who will be fiO years old next March 9. The strain of the office is shown in the fact that North Carolina now ha? onlv one ex-governor liv ing: U. S .Senator W. Kerr Scott. If memory serves correctly, we have lost five—including Gov. Urn stead—within the past five years. They were: Cameron Morrison, who was elected in 1920; J. C. B Ehringhaus, elected in 1932; Clyde R. Hoey, elected in 1936; R. Gregg Cherrv, elected in 1944; and Wil liam B. Umstead, elected in 1952. And, these men. with the excep tion of W. B. Umstead, served only four years; Umstead was in for less than two; and Luther H. Hodges, when he vacates the of fice around Feb. 8, 1961, will have been on the job for approximately six years and three months. Tarheels haven’t had a man in the governor’s office for as long as six years since Gov. T- J. Jarvis of Pitt county. He succeeded Zeb Vance in Feb ruary of 1S79 and served as gov ernor almost through January of 1885. However, hi? entire term of office ran less than the time Luth er H. Hodges expects to serve. So, all of this is to -ay that— come February 19<il—Gov. Hodges will have had a bellyful of the of fice and, odds are, North Carolina will have had a bellyful of him— makes no difference how good a job he does. Although you hear the names of Tn.v, Puavcall and Torrv Sanford mentioned as candidates for gover nor in 1960, we would not be sur prised if a more experienced man like Secretary of State Thad Eure sought the office. Sanford, of Fayetteville, is a ‘bright-faced young man. He turn ed 40 years of age this past Aug ust. His principal political exper ience is confined to a term in the state senate in 1953, work as a leader of the Young Democrats, and as Kerr Scott’s campaign man ager for the U. S. Senate He is a native (V Laurinburg. Sanford is liberal and apparently has a lot on the ball. Pearsall, around 55, is from Rocky Mount. He has long legis lative experience, is father of the Pearsall Plan and one of Gov. Luther H. Hodges closest advis ors. Pearsall is a former speaker of the house. Since he managed Charles John Black Mountain NEWS One of Buncombe County's fore most weekly newspapers published every Thursday at Black Mountain N.

Kerr Scott in 1948, you may know whom Kerr Scott will be supporting if the con test lies between Sanford and Pearsall. In the Pearsall corner will be the governor—-or so it look at this time. But there may be a third candi date in the race— Looking through an old news paper here a few days ago, we saw under date cnf Oct. 14, 1927, the following advertisement carried by a prominent North Carolina news paper publisher now deceased: “Sell your horse and buy a Ford automobile. You can get a 15 horsepower four-cylinder Ford run about that will carry you over any road in North Carolina at any speed between four and 45 miles per hour. The price is only $900. For more details on this car and other models address John A. Park, Raleigh, N. C.” Mr-. Park, for many years pub lisher of Raleigh's afternoon news paper, “The Raleigh Times,” was one of Raleigh's very best citizens and good will ambassadors. You will recall our writing in a recent column about the Sunday operations of stores and the trou ble we are heading into because of it. But on the other hand. Well, we see that they have done away with Sunday funerals in Charlotte. You can still die on Saturday in the Queen City, but you’re going to have to wait until Monday to be buried- They still permit you to die on Sunday, as for that matter, but you just can’t be buried then. Know why ? The Mecklenburg Christian Ministers association has approved a resolution adopted by the florists, funeral directors, and cemetery directors of Mecklenburg county not to have anything to do with Sunday funerals. That practically makes it unan imous. We can well remember when Sunday was the favorite burying day—and many a body has' had to wait until that day to be put away. Traveling through the North last summer, we ob served three or four night funer als. It may be that we are com ing to that in the south. When Kerr Scott ended his four year term as governor one bright morning in January of 1949, it was the consensus of everybody, friend and foe alike, that he would go down a-; the Good Roads Governor. Now, however, it looks as if he may be remembered more for his common-sense statements about our need for water development programs in North Carolina. He believes our water problems, and they are growing more acute daily, should be attacked from four approaches: small watershed pro jects under the department of ag riculture; anti-stream pollution projects through the new federal sewage disposal law; large naviga tion and flood control projects un der the corps of engineers; and small ponds through private land owners anci an levels 01 govern ment. As usual, Kerr Scott makes sense. The cost: about 350 mil lion dollars. Eyebrows were raised around Capitol Square here last week by a statement in the usually reliable and highly informative “Business Week” magazine It said that the South may try a new approach on the segregation picture, because “courts already have indicated that the pupil placement system, as voted in Vir ginia and North Carolina, won’t stand up when they get to the Su preme Court. “The final decision is yet to come,” said Business Week, "and already southern legislators are figuring on new schemes.” A cursory look around here un covered no new schemes, no new plans in the N. C. Department of Education for dealing with the problem. Our prediction would be that if the U. S. Supreme Couri rules invalid or unconstitutiona the North Carolina plan within the next eight months, we would have another special session of the leg islature. The Republicans, out of powei so long, are still having a big time with the post offices. It seem; that one of their inspectors wen: into one of the old-fashioned kine tucked away in a corner of the general merchandise store. Thi; was bad enough, hut he also foune yesterday’s mail piled up and the desk of the old postmaster in ter rible shape, letters, packages, COI mail piled all over it. He criticized the aged postmas ter severely and said Washingtoi would certainly hear about the en tire situation The postmaster gave the inspec tor an icy look, shoved a half-doz en 3-cent stamps into a cigar bo: and thrust it forward. “Now, gi out,” he said. “Git out and tak< your danged old post office witl you.” Although he still has a long wa; to go to be considered the peo pie’s choice as opposition to U. £ Sen. W. Kerr Scott, Gov. Luthe Hodges seems to be picking up ; little on the popularity front. His government reorganization plan seems to be settling down; hi motor pool seems to be out of th deep water; and his efforts o: the broad front of racial happi ness are bringing- to the governor praise from all fronts. His efforts toward bringing new industry to North Carolina sur pass those of any of his prede cessors. Look for the first big ! payoff on this before many moons. ; Unless we miss our guess, Luth- ^ er Hodges is getting good advice , and assistance from that old j smoothie, Edwin (Jill, former rev- . enue commissioner and now our 1 state treasurer. The talk around here is that the 1 governor has had some assists in 1 various speeches from Gill. No man in North Carolina is better , on the political front than Edwin Gill. Of all members of the Council ; of State, Treasurer Gill seems 1 closest to the governor. Despite the high regard they , have for him as a man and despite ] the high opinion they have for his ^ keen legal mind and his beyond his-age poise, consensus here is that the J. M. Broughton appoint ment to the chairmanship of the 1 N. C. Highway Commission is more political than anything else. Broughton still has a lot of his father's political strength and . connections—and if Luther Hodg es runs for office, most of it will < no doubt swing in his direction. 1 A friend of ours had an oppor tunity to observe Queen Elizabeth i closely as she watched the Mary- ' land-University of North Carolina < football game some days ago. He was telling us about it. : “What impressed you most about . her?'’ we asked. Our friend replied it was the ! queen's complexion. “As the game wore on, and later ' afternoon, with the autumn cool- 1 ness, settled on us, 1 noticed the : queen's fine complexion. At first. : there was a light .pink on her cheeks. Then it seemed to turn to rose. The thing you remember most about the queen of England Last week, in going: over likely candidates for governor in 1960, we failed to refer to L. \ . Ballen tine, N. C. Commissioner of Agri- ; culture. He has experience. He has Baptist connections. Ballentine has served in the state senate; he has presided over the senate as lieutenant gover nor; and so why would he not be a candidate for governor in 1960? Don’t kid yourself. He is a good agriculture commissioner. L. ; Y. Ballentine makes a good speech. ; He would make us an excellent governor. There is serious trouble in Re publican ranks in North Carolina < because Kyle Hayes of North Wilkesboro, nephew of retiring i Judge Johnson J, Hayes, was not < named to succeed him as federal : judge. 1 Most of the Republicans wanted i Hayes — but the powers-that-be : wanted Ed Stanley. Both Hayes ! and Stanley, like Johnson J. Hayes, are Wake Forest college ' alumni. And, if memory faileth not, they ' were in school together—in the Wake Forest Law school presided over by Needham V. Gulley in ] 1930. " ) You won’t see official figures i on it for several weeks yet, but the unofficial estimate of the N. C. State Fair is this: More people—but a lot less money. Auditors' figures are expected to show that crowds at the Fair were larger than last year—and equal to any of its forerunners —- the actual money spent, and the profit made, will run far short of last year. Now that the time-distance be tween North Carolina and Wash ington, D. C., is less than two hours, a lot of people think that any member of our Congressional delegation can be at home with the folks about any time he wants to—and still not miss his business in D. C. Don't kid yourself. The dis tance is still almost as gi’eat as it was 10 years ago. The difference is that a decade ago it was miles LETTERS PRAISES PICTURES Louisville, Mississippi October 21, 1957.
