G. i.Iann, general manager of the North Carolina Farmers Co-operative Ex change. has been making public statement recently to the effect that the organized merchandising Indus-1 tiy in the State is talking of a man to beat W. Kerr Scott, State Commis- j sionor of Agilcnlturo, next year. I Chances are that Mann is talking through his bonnet this time, for officials of the N. C., Merchants As sociation say that neither Scott's name nor any possible opposition to him was mentioned at the recent convention of the merchants held in Raleigh. A representative of the N. C. .Merchants Association who travels a great deal of the time call ing on merchants, throughout the State declares he has not heard one iota of any "talking of a man to beat W. Kerr Scott." If .Man’s purpose was to excite his lis'eners. he probably succeeded nobly. Perhaps he has heard of such talk, bat officials of the merchants, who should be in a better position to hear of it, have missed out al together on these anti-Scott discus sions. The merchants were sorely disappointed last spring when Scott lashed out at them in his pro-coop talk dining the Legislature. They were blazing mad at that time. Mann is a good man—fair and honest— but his .talk of possible opposition to Commi.ssloner Scott can do more than anything else to create it. That’s a good way to get it. The mer chants as an a.ssociation have never taken an official position for, or against, any candidate—not even on Dr. Ralph McDonald, whom they loved for his anti-sales tax stand, in 193C. * * * DOWN TO A WALK—Midsummer vacations plus a groat deal of humi dity has slowed Raleigh down to u walk. Governor Cherry has been out of town attending the Governors Conference. Carl Goorch reports on having seen flying saucers from Msxrs. Attorney General Harry Mc- Muilan last week issued a ruling oa.v- ing that dueling is against the law. Lynn Nisbett, newspaperman, had to go to Washington to find politi cal news (he found quite a bit, too). Tom Rost was looking for ideas last Friday for his evory-Sunday sermon in the editorial columns of the Greensboro Dally News, complaining that they are sometim.es' hard come by. The newspaper guys in general wore thanking heaven for that Ahos- kio Klwnnls story about the Negro and the Cadillac. They had a big time with it. The heat killed one of the biggest snakes in the State Mu- icum. Raleigh just has to keep some thing movlng-^even (hough most of its news-makers were out of town. * * « NEW CONCERN—Your State Cap ital, which for so many years has labored under an inferiority complex for its lack of manufacturing plants and relative scarcity of business ac- tivltlos, is getting a big firm, Cooper Taylor, who as vice presi dent in charge of sales for Lance for many yeais helped build, that company into one of the largest cracker sandwich concerns In the country, has broken away from this company and has erected an enor mous cracker sandwich plant of his own at nearby Cary, They say he Davis Milling Moves Office To New Plant MAN OF ACHIEVEMENT . . . "Worker Father of the Year” is an appellation any father ihight well envy, .so John Van Hoose of Rich ardson, Ky., can be excused for showing a little pardonable pride over being given that honor by the national Father’s Day committee. Van Hoose, shown here being interviewed by two ladies of the press, is the father of 15 Jiving children and the grandfather of an additional 15. took about six Laii'^e salesmen with him, too. Now he is ready to go, will employ around 150 people. 'Die Ral eigh Chamber of Commerce has its chest stuck out to yonder—particu- rary l.estor Rose, its ball-of-fire secretary. Taylor will use a slogan "laylorod to taste" for his crackers. Aside to some newspapers; He is getting ready to do some high-power- od udvoi tislng, tis said, On the other hand, Lance is expected to push up its advertising budget to combat Taylor. Some fun!

Although the State Board of Educa tion announced a few days ago that teachers would get a raise of about 30 per cent on an average next year, the fact is that the money appropria ted tor teachers—will run in the neighborhood of 3G per cent more tor next year than tor last. This of course Includes experience incre ments, etc., but that is still money going from the State to the teacher. * V * I The general offices of W. A. Davis Milling Company of High Point have been moved to the newly constriioted plant on South Perry Street according to Robert Davis, general manager of the company.
