STATE HIGHWAY PATROL
Sixty--Six new members of the
State Highway Patrol will get out
on the highways of the State probably
next week, after about trvo
months of intensive training at a
school conducted by patrol officers
at the State fair grounds. Two fill

ncrease the number to 121. as provided

effective November I and licenses

STATE POLITICS
Dr. Ralph W McDonald's entry last
week into the race for the Democratic
nomination for Governor has them
talking and asking questions, as to
what kind of a race he will make,
from whom he will take his strength,
how he will fi: aace a. campaign, how
he, native of Illinois, reared in Arkansas
and teacher in the State for
some years, will strike the fancy of
the voters and come out in the primary.
The 33-year-old former Salem College
teacher, active church layman
and novice in politics caused lots of
trouble to many legislators and State
officials in his hook-up in the 1935
General Assembly with W. L. Lumpkin,
Franklin County legislator, in
his fight against The sales tax, for
higher appropriations for schools,!
against liquor control, and, mainly,
probably, against Governor Ehrir.g- j
haus &mJ the Stale administration in
general
His entry swells to five the seekers
after the Governorship. A. H.
(Sandy) Graham, Hillsboro; Clyde R.
Hoey, Shelby, and John A. MacRac,
Charlotte, are announced candidates,
while Col. T. L. Kirkpatrick. Charlotte,
has been in the running for
months, he states. Dr. J. T. Burrus,
Guilford Senator, who thought seriously
of making the race, is not expected
to enter.
Senator J. W. Bailey ha3 only Dick
Fountain publicly opposing him. The
name of Senator John Sprunt Hill,
Durham, is a new one. If Governor
Ehringhaus Joes not enter, Judge M.
V. Barnhill,, Rocky Mount, is almost
sure to. Henry Stevens, Warsaw, ami
John G. Dawson, Kinston, are possible
entrants.
TEXTBOOKS RENTALS
The textliook rental plan has surmounted
all obstacles and is now
ready to function as soon as the machinery
can be set up for local distribution
01" the school books at a
rental of one-third the cost and free
to delinquents. The troubles that appeared
were overcome last week by
a proposal by the publishers and an!
agreement with the N. C. School Book
Depository, which acted as agent for!
the publishers. E. N. Peeler, secretary
of the rental commission, is in
the midst of a series of conferences
with city and county superintendents
on the methods of distribution. Ship-1
