PLUS NORTH CAROLINA SALES TAX TELEPHONE NUMBER — 739-5441 TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE I wHl Uft wp mine ryen unto the hUls from whence cometh my hc:lp. A New Boll Gome Announcement Wednesday by At torney-General Robert Morgan that he will be a candidate for re-election, not a candidate for governor, was a surprise to much of North Carolina — friend and foe, Democrat and Republican. The poll-taker.s had shown the di minutive attorney-general a consistent leader among the potentials for the gov ernorship. His strength among his home- folk in Eastern North Carolina was acknowledged by all and, in spite of his activity in behalf of Dr. I. Beverly Lake for the governorship, one poll show-ed him to have some measure of favor with the Negro citizens of the state. This was credited to his efforts, since becoming attorney-general, in behalf of consumi'r protection. Why, in face of favorable facts, did Mr. Morgan elect not to seek the govern orship? IMr. Holshouser Support For Cowpens Tuesday morning, Ben Moomaw, supei-intendent of Kings Mountain Na tional Military Park, was quite ebullient. ‘Tm feeling on top of the world,” he said. Mr. Moomaw had made a fast one- day trip to Washington on Monday to attend a House sub-committee hearing on the fate of proposals to to expand Cowpens National Battlefield’s 1.5 acres to 845. The outlook had been poor, as the Department, of the Interior had indicat ed a delay in timetable for expanding Cowpens, which Mr. Moomaw also supei'- intends. But the sub-committee of Commit tee on Interior anji Insular Affairs turn ed out to be high on Cow'pens and low on Department of the Interior hired hands who wanted to divert Cowpens funds to somewhere else. First speculation would attend the high cost of a gubernatorial campaign and a concuiTcnt guess that sufficient pledges of campaign contributions had not been received. Secondarily, the AttornGy-General would be hard to head for re-election. He handily defeated an incumbent in the 1968 Democratic primary and would be (now is) a shoo-in for rc-nomination and re-election. Thirdly, he is just 4,3 years of age, has plenty of time in the normal three •score-and-ten course of events to offer for higher office. His ‘'Morgan’s the Man” billboards and copious speaking engagements made him moi*e well- known throughout the state which will stand him in good stead in the futui'o. Fourthly, Mr. Morgan, having trhil ballooned for the Senate scat of B. Ever ett Jordan as well as for the governor ship, will have earned a measure of gratitude from the Senator, as well as from announced governor candidates fellow Democrats Pat Taylor and Skip per Bowles and other hopefuls. Anent observations of veterans in the political arena tliat considerable re sidual strength accrued to Morgan via his support of now-Judge Lake and the George Wallace presidential vote in North Carolina in 1968, the moderates arc breathing easier. At the moment, the horse race is between Bowles and Taylor. With the Morgan withdrawal Grandfather Moun- tain-Wilmington’s Hugh Morton may be further encouraged to run. Even Dr. Reginald Hawkins, the announced Negro candidate may find some encourage ment. In all the camps. Wednesday night the candidates and their analysts were bu.sy re-assessing the whole and their own situations. Rep. Roy Taylor of Asheville chaLi’- ed the sub-committee and Rep. Wayne N. Aspinal of Colorado, chairman of the full committee was present with biting comment on Interior’s diversion. 'There was a battery of witnesses favorable to Cowpens. Result: the House will get a resolu tion to force Interior to proceed on the original timetable. That’s Round I. The resolution seems certain of passing the House, then will be consider ed by the Senate. Hopefully, the Cowpens project will proceed. As was pointed out, as business and industry expand toward Cowpens National Battlefield the 843 acres need ed will become more expensive and per haps the unattainable at all. In the realm of Revolutionary War history, Cowpens deserves cP'fisiderably more. It was the trilogy of Kings Moun tain, Cow^pens and Guilford Courthouse that assured Lord Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown. City's Fiscal 71 Published in today’s Herald for the City of Kings Mountain are financial re sults for 1970-71. The financial picture* as taken from the audit report of A. M. Pullen & Com pany, is good. Items: Bonded $3,960,000. debt was reduced t o Property valuations $38,624,120. increased to State Representative Jim Holshous- cr, a Republican leader and state part; chairman for several seasons has an nounced his candidacy for governor. The young man from the mountains of Watauga has deported himself well in the General Assembly and has generally followed a moderate, falling in with the enemy Democrats when ho liked the pro gram, opposing when he didn’t. There hasn’t been a Republican gov ernor in North Carolina since D. L. Rus sell exited in 1901 and Mr. Holshouser is not likely to change the Democratic victory pat'tern. There were no deficits in closing balances of any fund at June 30. The much-detailed full audit re- r" ' available for inspection by any and uU citizens at the office of the city clerk, has much interesting information: Items: Bonded debt will be reduced anoth er $170,000 during the current fiscal year. Utilities remain by far the city’s major source of revenue, even at low rates to the consumer. These sales last year were: water $272,630; electric pow er $694,465; natural gas $546,592. Total $1,5I3,(,87. The city got its first check for the sales tax rebate, covering the (luarter ending September 30, this week and the total was $13,941. In this year’s budget the city guessed it would receive approx imately $59,000. In light of the initial check, the budget estimate looks good and indicates the figure of $59,000 may be exceeded. The Christmas selling sea son is ahead, and retail sales in March and June quarters have begun to out strip September quarter sales since this area forsook its all-or-nothing cotton economy in agriculture economy. The city spent $85,584 for sanitation, $125,436 for police protection, $30,361 for fire protection, and $16,269 for ceme tery services. General expense totaled $188,575 and included a menagerie of items from election expense ($1815.77) to janitorial service ($4408). Among the top costs in the general department were employee retirement .system $.35,329, social securi ty tax of $24,796, gas and oil $26,720, and insurance $20,969. Figures can be interesting w'hcn re lated to function.
