TTllftiill'ii iili STATE CAPITAL I KEYHOLES I By BESS HINTON SILVER CAN’T STOP IT—Governor Ehr inghaus’ popularity in the' tobacco belt of Eastern North Carolina con tinues to grow and there is increas ing sentiment that he offer for the eastern Senate seat, now held by Senator Josiah W. Bailey, in 1936. The Governor isn’t saying much but the pressure must be assuming com pelling proportions. Most men are creatures of suggestions 'and there can be no doubt that Ehringhaus’ friends, in the east are missing an opporXHUty to suggest that he run for the'Senate. NEW DANGER Many persons conversant with the situation are of the opinion that tobacco growers must guard against too great re striction of crops that would jump prices to unprecedented highs, and that doesn’t mean the manufactur ers. Real friends of the farmers point out that tobacco exports are on the increase and that fact has been potent in helping the price rise. Foreign production is not as serious as with cotton but many persons who have studied the tobacco problem be lieve that prices can be boosted to the point where it will be more profit able to grow and buy the weed in other lands. Sixty per cent of the tobacco grown in North Carolina is exported and a big dent in that trade would be a calamity. KNOWS HIS STUFF Wallace . Winbome, of Marion, stale Demo cratic chairman, has a few stars in his crown as a political organizer and economical operator of campaigns. In the two state-wide campaigns Mr. Winborne ha 3 managed, unprece dented majorities have been piled up for his party and with no deficit. In fact he has the office furniture out of hock and a few dimes to jingle in the party purse until it comes to pass the hat again in 1936. EASY MONEY—Easy come, easy go, is the way many politicians view taxes collected from motorists in North Carolina. Because the gaso line tax of six cents on the gallon is collected without a whimper and the license tax without much squawk many of the quick-thinkers would cut other taxes and use the money paid by farmers hauling their produce to market to further their own political ends. There’s just one fly in the ointment—many wheels are spinning in the mud in North Carolina these days and for every spin 3ome tax is paid on gasoline. If the country roads were in as good condition as two years ago, the politicians might get farther with their plans. IMPROVING THEIR MINDS— . When Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” played k, one-night stand in Raleigh, the po lfcically-minded were much in evi dence. Leading the parade of not- Jble office-holders was Governor Ehr /nghaus. Then came Senator Josiah yW. Bailey, Fourth District Congress man Harold D. Cooley, State Parole Commissioner Edwin M. Gill, J. M. Broughton, of Raleigh, a Cooley “brain-truster,” and many others. There wasn’t much 'opportunity to talk politics but it was a good place to shake hands with a lot of the boys who wield some control over the bal loting in surrounding bailiwicks. One of the rules of the games of politics fa—never miss a trick, no matter how little it counts, and that doesn’t mean that the boys present didn’t cherish a real love for the immortal Bard of Avon. VEERING WINDS Times have changed since mother was a girl and, in fact, even more recently. Two years ago R. T. Fountain, of Rocky Mount, was Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina and leader of a Demo cratic minority that only lacked a mere 7,000 votes in making him Gov ernor. During the recent campaign he made only one speech, at Gas tonia, and it is reported here that less than one hundred people were out to hear him. Two years ago the very name of Fountain would draw a crowd, campaign or no campaign. Does that mean the Mr. Fountain’s great personal following has gone to sleep ? NOT UNEXPECTED—The slight increase in Republican representation in the General Assembly as a result of the voting last week wasn’t any surprise to the politically-minded w'ho hang around the State Capitol. Rumblings of discord had been com ing in from more than one bailiwick for some time, much to the concern of Democratic leaders. You wouldn’t have been forced to look far to get a bet that the Republicans would have twenty members in the next Legisla ture. VALOR AND CAUTION Some political observers are wondering if the overwhelming endorsement ac corded the New Deal in the national election will have the effect of toning down Senator Josiah W. Bailey in the next session of the Congress. The Raleigh Senator was quite out spoken in his criticism of some New ■ P eal policidfcdfc the last session and I incurred of many KjPepocrats iisjHHH the praise of ■ THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. <L. THURSDAY. NOVTMWm »HH . “/ Made For The Bride...” (Being The Domestic Becrets of An American Housewife) By NATALIE ABBOTT | WAS always running out of pres ! * ents to give for linen showers until I suddenly noticed that pros pective brides seem to appreciate, far beyond their value, gifts made by hand for them. So now I try to add touches of handiwork to all my gifts. Try this simple insert for a pair of pillow cases, crocheted in mercerized crochet cotton. If you want to be real fancy use a pastel color. These are the directions. Materials: Mercerized crochet others. ANNOUNCEMENT COMING ? One aftermath of the recent cam paign i 3 a rather confirmed opinior around Raleigh that Clyde R. Hoey. of Shelby, has been running for Gov ernor for some time. If Mr. Hoey hasn’t been doing that his friends have been staging for him a cam paign. Many of his close personal friends in the Capital City are ex pecting his announcement to follow on the heels of sine die adjournment of the coming session of the Legisla ture. PROLONGED JOB There’s no hope of completing remodeling and fire-proofing of the State’s old fire trap of a prison here this winter. Prison officials had expressed hope that the job could be completed be fore the heat had to be turned on but that’s now out of the question. Because the walls of the structure are being preserved the work is pro gressing slowly and will require be completed by nevt winter, many months to finish. At the rate it has been going remodelling may not be completed by next winter. SHINING STAR Congressman Frank Hancock, of the Fifth Dis trict, is viewed by many North Caro lina politicians as the most promising member of the North Carolina delega tion in Washington. They point out that in his comparatively short ser vice in Washington he has attained high ranking place on the House Banking and currency committee and although he has taken some bold steps in voting on measures his dis trict continues to give him handsome majorities in primaries. He was un opposed in the general election. BIG STICK—The State School Commission has a club that it uses to get the most favorable bids for hauling coal from cars to schools. Last summer the commission had a number of utility bodies built for trucks at the highway shops near Raleigh at the cost of thirty dollars a throw. If bids for hauling coal are higher than the commission thinks they should be, then its members say: “All right, we’ll just haul our own coal.” Off come the passenger body on school trucks and on goes the utility body all set for the sooty job. Or in other cases the bids are low ered and it isn’t necessary to change the bodies. Which just goes to show that there are still many way* to bring death to a feline. SLEEPLESS NIGHTS Life is anything but a bowl of cherries for State Parole Commissioner Edwin Maurice Gill. Capital punishment cases give him the most trouble but the pitiful old ladies, mothers of pris oners seeking release of their sons, make some of his decisions mighty hard. Recently he was callfed out of bed at 2:30 in the morning to go to State’s Prison and receive the confes sion of a man convicted of murder. All manner of pressure is brought to bear upon him in every capital case and he mu3t weigh the facts care fully. Often his decisions are not popular for the simple reason that lawyers have guided public opinion in another direction. CANAAN TEMPLE CHOIR TO PARTICIPATE IN CONTEST The church choir of Canaan’s TempleUhurch will compete in a con test Friday night with the choir of the First Colored Baptist Church in Hertford, the affair to be staged in the Hertford colored high school. MusicTuvers are assured a treat, and reservations will be made for white folks. Sweet potato growers in Martin county have purchased 28,000 crates for curing the crop now being stored.

Work in this new field of poultry science will be carried on in the chick sexing school under Dr. J. C. Ham mond, who will conduct the demon strations and give attending poultry men personal experience in determin ing the sex of chicks. The short course will also deal with other timely problems of the North Carolina poultryman, an nounces Roy S. Dearstyne, head of the State College poultry depart ment. Poultry breeders will be particu larly interested in an address or “Some Aspects of Poultry Breeding,’ by Dr. M. A. Jull, senior poultry husbandman of the United States Department of Agriculture, who Is internationally known as a poultry geneticist. Hatcherymen will also find helpful information in the address of C. L. Salter, of the bureau of agricultural economics in the Department of Ag riculture, on “Further Revisions or the Hatchery Code.” Dearstyne said D. I. Slade, presi dent of the International Baby Chick Association, will probably be present to deliver on address on “Services Rendered the Hatcheryman by the I. B. C. A.” Dr. Harry Titus, poultry nutrition specialist and director of the Federal poultry nutrition investigations at Beltsville, Md., will speak on “Pro tein Supplements in Poultry Nutri tion.” No fee will be charged the poul trymen attending the short course, Dearstyne said, which will be held in Polk Hall on the college campus. 1 REPUBLICAN | Bertie County By Walter Hughes \ y Lewiston is the only place in the world that has a telephone station up in the air on poles. Well, it came about like this. The Bell Telephone Company wa3 running a line through Lewiston and they tried to rent a room to put their dial system in. Everybody wanted to charge too much rent, so they decided to put it up in the air on poles. The company buried four poles beside their line and put the dial system up there so that it would cost them no rent. Again, Lewiston is the biggest peanut shipping station in the world —that is where they are raised. But Suffolk is the biggest distributing point in the world. The road between Republican and Windsor came very near growing up. The road hadn’t been worked in so long the grass had grown up in the middle of it. I was in hopes the gov ernment would take charge of it and fill it up, but at last they did drag some grass up in the middle. Auto mobiles had to run down the ditch to get to town. Two Gypsy women met Cleni Baze more the other day and relieved him of SSO. Thf^ 7 became too affection ate.

C., to attend the sessions of the Eastern Methodist Conference. It is necessary for Mr. Walters to arrive in Washington a day before conference convenes as he is a member of the Committee on Admissions. The Conference will convene at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning, with Dr. Paul Kern presiding. Dr. Kern is a new bishop of the Methodist Church and has served four years as a foreign missionary in China, Japan and Korea. The new bishop will preach the annual sermon next Sun day at the First Methodist Church in Washington. His popularity as a speaker is reflected in the fact that he took the Western Methodist Con ference by storm. It is hoped some Edenton Methodist will hear the new bishop. The appointments for the year will j be read at the conclusion of the con ference Sunday night. I.„. ... .. . „. ...
