Capital News Letter «Y THOMPSON GREENWOOD HORTON APPOINTMENT. — Al- thouKli the naming ol’ W. P.

POLITICAL ERROR.—The feel ing around Raleigh is that Tom Pearsall made a mistake in announc ing for Charles Johnson at such an early date. Consensus is that he lould have given himself, and John- ron. greater stature by waiting until tlie middle of the winter or early next spring—then coming out with a statement to the effect that “after giving the matter serious considera tion. and having surveyed the field, 1 regard Johnson as the best fitted, ■BALLENTINB STRATEGY. — Lt. Gov. L. Y. Ballentino has boon offer ed several important posts if he will pull out of the Governor’s race in support of Johnson. Reports are that lie will bo given the Johnson nod for Commissioner of Agriculture or Stale Treasurer, and in the event ho loses out and Johnson wins, will be named chairman of the State High way Commission. When Balloutine announces, he will resign as Lieutenant Governor and Joe, Blythe 6l Charlotte, will move into tliis offlc'o.-.Phls is expect ed to force Johnson to resign ns Treasurer, Don’t count Ballentiuc out by any means. They are trying hard to scare him—but L. Y. Is hard is scare. His supporters are advised to bo of strong heart. ♦ 4i « ALL FOR —Gov, R. Gregg etc," Tlie talk that Pearsall may have been making a trade for 1956, when the Governor will come from tho East again, sounds rather empty in view of the fact that veterans are expected to name virtually every thing after 1948, Pearsall was too young for World War I and too old for World War II. Cherry is apparently not too much concerned at this time about who the next Governor will be. There is a feeling hero that any of tlie can didates mentioned might suit him all right. Yet it must not be forgotten W. H. LEE Electric Shoe Shop LILLINGTON, N.

He lives at the Sir Walter with his semi-invalid wife and trips along Fayetteville Street, Raleigh’s main drag, like a filly ... a big cigar in his mouth. His older sister, who liv ed with lilm, died a few weeks ago, and he had family worries which would have crushed a smaller man —but they were not apparent in his work.

Anderson, former chief of police of Winston-Salem and Char lotte, the State Bureau of Investi gation gets into a little of everything tliose days—despite the long and fre quent religious trips taken by its boss. Within recent months, it has studied, for instance, politics in Stokes county, milk prices in Dur ham and Raleigh, and a Western North Carolina minister’s wife. This preacher who had to be ab sent from his home hearth right much saving souls, didn’t trust his good-looking wife too much, and finally came to the flat conclusion that she was unfaithful to him. She jnaintalnod that she wasn’t, but he had more faith in everything else, obviously, than In her. Upshot of the whole thing was that she agreed to a He detector test. If it proved she was truthful, everything would be all right between them once again. Otherwise, of course, ho would just have to do his missionary work closer homo, and, this failing, a d-i-v-o-r-c-e. He brought her to his follow churchman, Anderson. His special detector man was somewhere down east on an investi gation. Well, nothing to do but call him. This fellow was somewhat sur prised—to put it mildly—upon his return to Raleigh to find he merely had to give a test to a minister’s wife, who had committed no crime.' He took her into the room, lock-' ed the door, for it requires around 80 minutes to get tho person in tho right frame of mind for the tost.' After about 40 mlnnles the minister , began to be impatient. What could they bo doing in there all this time?
