About Half of General
Assembly at Political
Pot Roast
(Special To The Herald)
Raleigh, July 23.—Many straws
have been eased out into the atmos
phere during the past week, flutter
ing around, hither and yon and final
ly coming to rest almost directly un
der the place of origin, thus giving
evindence of many cross currents, but
little intimation of any definite di-,
rection of political winds.
In the first place, a big barbecue
was held at Greenville for the an
nounced purpose of honoring Pitt
county’s legislators, at which about
half of the members of the 1931 Gen
eral Assembly from the East and a
few from the center and West, were
present. Intimation was that it was
to be something of a “coming out”
party for Josephus Daniels, Raleigh
publisher, for the race for Governor.
Mr. Daniels didn’t come out, but sent
a message. Later he gave answer to
inquiries as to his ambitions for the
governorship in a sort of “don’t
choose to run” manner, in the words:
“I can say to you sincerely that I
have no desire for public office.”
Mr. Daniels didn’t close the door
and probably is not adverse to the
possible urging that may follow, com
-ng from Eastern admirers, particu
larly.
Then, too, all of the original pros
pects for gubernatorial honors were
on a program for 10-miute talks at
the educational conference at Chapel
Hill Friday night, all modestly re
training from political talk, but verg
ing on it in connecting up education
i<nd democracy with government af
fairs.
Recently Lieutenant Governor R. T.
Fountain, who presided over the Sen
ate side of the General Assembly ma
lathon, came out boldly in criticism
of the Brookings report, which re
commends many forms of centraliza
tion in the State and decried usurpa
tion by the State of the field of local
s;tlf-goverament.
Willis Smith, presiding officer on
the House side of the same body, and
likewise with gubernatorial bees buzz
ing in his bonnett, took up the cud
gel and answered his contemporary
at. a Durham Kiwanis Club talk, re
ferring to the “fetish” and cry of the
“ancient shibboleth—Local Self Gov
ernment,” which he said to his hear
ers, has brough many units of the
State to the very brink of bankrupt
cy, from which the State, stepping in
with 1927, 1929 and 1937 legisation,

foundation for an issue there.
The Lieutenant Governor, even his
opponents will admit, is getting about
over the State, shaking more hands
and talking with more people than
any other man, and is admittedly de
veloping a big following. Yet, it is
claimed, he has no local organiza
tion, no nucleus of strength, and that
the county leaders, within one week,
could wrest from him the bulk of his
following.
I\Idre and more insistent is the ru
mor that when the primary ballots
aie printed they will not contain more
than one of the names of the original
“four horsemen” prospects, and that
the name of Allen J. Maxwell, com
missioner of revenue will be on that
ticket. In fact, his friends would not
be surprised if he becomes the first
formally-announced candidate within
the next two months. Willis Smith is
feeling around, and may enter, but
the prediction has been made that
Maxwell and Fountain will be the fin
al contestants.
Grist Threatens Suit
Frank D. Grist, announced oppon
ent of Senator Morrison, already has
started what is expected to be a col
orful race, by announcing that he is
not pleased with the editorial com
ment in the Greensboro Daily News
that, among other things, “he would
make an elegant dog catcher,” and in
timating that he may bring suit un
less the statement is modified.
lie has intimated, in fact, said, that
he will ask Senator Morrison some
pointed questions, probably in the
form of a challenge to public debate,
regarding his support of Frank R.
McNinch, Anti-Smith leader, for the
Federal Power Commission; his views
on the Kansas City Star power fight,
and if he still believes the Duke
Power Co., a partialy religious and
semi-philanthropic corporation.
Senator Morrison and Commission
er Grist are both colorful, and Thomas
C. (Tam) Bowie, who is feeling out
the Senatorial water, is by no means
inane. Robert R. Reynolds, Asheville,
is nothing if not sensational, and he
is a prospect, he lets it be known. If
Clyde R. Hoey should get in, which
is doubtful, the quintet would make
a vivid, colorful, sensational race.

Dies In Bath Tub
Raleigh and the State were shock
ed Friday at the death of B. Mabry
Hart, prominent cotton mill man of
Tarboro and Hickory, in the bathtub
of his room at a local hotel, suposed
ly as a result of the fire which burn
ed practically everything in his room.
Investigation revealed he and a party
of friends, men and women, had been
drinking, but there is no evidence of
foul play at this writing.
Mr. Hart was here in an action be
fore the N. C. Corporation Commis
sion seeking readjustment of power
rates charged his Tarboro mills by
the Virginia Power and Electric Co.
The hearing was postponed because
of his death.
Buys N. C. Made Tires
The McLaren Rubber Co., Charlotte
was low bidder of the 23 firms sub
mitting bids to supply the State and
its activities with an estimated re
quirement of 9,980 pneumatic tires,
10,430 pneumatic tubes and 200 solid
tires during the year, at a discount
from the price list ranging from 55
to 59.5 per cent of the various classes,
Director A. S. Brower of the Division
of Purchase and Contract, announces.
The McClaren discounts were such
us to give 57.25 per cent off on high
pressure tires, 55 per cent on balloon
tires, 57.25 on high pressure tubes.
This means a saving of about $80,000
from the prices paid previously by
the counties, on the total cost o f
$144,667.40 for the tires and tubes.
The prices are $6,076.45 better than
the old contract of the State Highway
Commission, which is considered ex
cellent.
The purchase furthers the live-at
home program, Governor Gardner
reminding that the capital, labor, fab
ric and every item going into the
manufacture of McClaren tires, ex
cept the rubber, is produced in North
Carolina.
Miller Gets Better Job
H. E. Miller, State sanitary en
gineer for 12 years, was dismissed
last week by the State Board o f
Health and Warren H. Booker, Char
lotte engineer, was elected to take
his place. Charges are that the dis
missal resulted from the jealousy of
doctors, particularly those in Raleigh.
Now, Mr. Miller has been appointed
to a position with the U. S. Public
Health Service, by Surgeon General
Hugh S. Cummings, at a higher sal
ary than he received from the State.
He will have supervision of expendi
tures of the Federal funds i n 28
States, including the $60,000 which
the Federal Government contributes
to sanitation work in North Carolina.
Tax Delegates Opponents
Governor Gardner has appointed as
delegates from this State to attend
the National Tax Association meet
ing in Atlanta, Ga., October 12-16,
Chairman A. J. Maxwell and Secre
tary Fred W. Morrison of the State
Tax Commission; Senator J. A. Prit
chett, of Bertie County, and Repre
sentative A. D. MacLean, of Beaufort
county.
Suggestion was made that an in
trepreter should have been appoint
ed to work between the Maxwell-Mor
rison and the MacLean-Pritchett
pairs, in view of stands taken in the
recent tax fights in the General As
sembly—or a referee.
