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

add touches of handiwork to all my

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.

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.

Methodist Conference
Convenes Wednesday
Rev. W. F. Walters, pastor of the
Methodist Church, will leave Tues
day for Washington, N. 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.
