BOWIE IS
BOOMED

(Special To The Herald)
Raleigh, Nov. 13.—The name of
Thomas C. “Tam” Bowie of West
Jefferson, former legislator and for
a short time Superior Court judge,
proniinent in legal and political
circles in the northwestern part of the
State, has been injected into the 1932
primary race for Attorney General
of North Carolina.
Mr. Bowie, it is understood here, is
being promoted by eastern North
Carolina Democrats, who hold out to
him the possibilities of moving up
from Attorney General to the Gover
norship, as did the late Thomas Wal
ter Bickett and as Attorney General
Dennis G. Brummit is, prospectively
seeking to do in 1932. Mr. Bowie is
understood to be considering the mat
. A. AAAAAAAAAAAAAA^
ter, but has given no intimation, as |
far as can be learned, of his possible
decision.
i The Ashe County lawyer wa3 in
Supreme court here last week, seeking
to show that the Workmen’s Compen
sation Act is unconstitutional. He
was intersted in a case involving the
injury of a workman engaged in work
on a school building serving a district
parts of which are in Ashe and Wa
tauga Counties .
If Mr. Bowie should enter the At
torney General race, the prospective
number of candidates would b efour,
including Charles Ross, Lillington,
former assistant attorney general and
attorney now for the State Highway
Commission; I. M. Bailey, Jacksonville
and Raleigh, atorney for the N. C.
Corporation Commission, and Kenneth
Royall of Goldsboro, former Wayne
County senator and recently president
of the N. C. Bar Association. Neither
has announced his candidacy, but Mr.
Ross and Mr. Bailey are said to be
on the verge of it. Mr. Royall sayeth
not.
Judge Walter Siler, Chatham Coun
ty, assistant Attorney General, has
about eliminated himself as the pos
sible candidate, as has Assistant
Frank Nash, of Hillsboro.
A North Carolina lawyer recently
wrote to a State office here asking
for copies of several laws enacted by
the General Assembly, asking among
others for the “Austrian Ballad Law.”
He was sent a copy of the Australian
Ballot Law of course. Yes, he was
white.
The highway fund for counties for
the one cent additional tax placed on
gasoline by the 1929 General Assem
bly amounted to slightly more than
$2,500,000 last year and is estimated
at the same figure this year, plus the
$500,000 special fund to counties, but
doubt is beginning to arise as to
whether the fund will reach that fig
ure, due to the decrease in the use of
gasoline and increased refunds made
on non-highway gasoline-using ma
chinery.
The decrease for the first three
months of the present fiscal year is
$151,74d.46, as compared with the
same months lr.st year, or from $3,
381,936.36 to $3,230,194.90, the drop
amounting to more than $50,000 a
month. Allocation of the $3,000,000 is
made to the counties on the same bas
is of area and population for this year
as last, unless the drop in gasoline
tax revenues carries the total below
$3,000,000. Last year the amount was
above that figure, due to collection for
a month or more from the preceding
fiscal year. However, all of the un
ties had a small credit balance carried
over from last year.
Halifax County’s allotment was 46,
410, but the county received $50,862.88
of which $49,685.16 was used for debt
service—bonds and interest, and $1,
177.72 was brought over into»this year
as a credit balance which has since
been used.
North Carolina received $203,433.60
n receipts from hunting licenses for
the past fiscal year from 1.275 non
resident hunters, 27,908 who secured
State wide licenses and 96,326 who
got licenses for one county only, in ad
dition to $5,423 from fur dealers’ li
censes. Forsyth County led with $7,
849.50 in total game receipts and
Guilford was second with $7,754.25.
Halifax County game receipts to
taled $3,749, received from 454 State
wide licenses issued, 1,909 county li
censes and 21 non-resident licenses
and $185.00 from fur dealers’ licenses,
the annual report of Charles R. Eng
land, State game warden, shows.

Governor Gardner has addressed a
letter to pr^idents of local bars,
clerks of Superior Court and Chair
men of Boards of County Commis
sioners, asking them to confer and ad
vise him by November 20 as to needs
of special terms of court in their coun
ties for the spring term of 1931, nam
ing the date, length of term desired
and whether civil or criminal, in order
that the calendar may be made out for
special judges.
All five of the special judges in
the State have joined with practically
all of the regular judges in asking the
voters to support the two proposed
constitutional amendments, one in
creasing the Supreme Court justices
from five to seven, the other providing
that solicitorial and judicial districts
need not be co-terminus, to be voted
on November 4. The purpose of the
second is to provide about four addi
tional regular judges and eliminate
the provision for six special judges.

Raleigh Legionnaires will forego
their annual Armistice Day barbecue
this year and will ask the City of Ra
leigh and Wake County, which have
set aside $300 each for the feed, to de
vote that amount to the relief of dis
tress that is expected during the win
ter ,due to unemployment and general
depression.
The Armistice Day celebration will
be held as usual, with Con C. John
son, Mooresville, State Department
Commander, as principal speaker, and
with the usual parade, but the eats

decided at a meeting last week it
would be better to feed several hun

than for Legionnaires who are not
hungry to stuff barbecue.

Frost kissed hills and silver wold,
