josephus-Does not choose to run w. SMITH BITTEN BY^ BEE 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, bad to save them.

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. N. C. Farmers Convention The 29th annual session of the N. C.

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. N. C.
