"'r ■''''-, " - . ' j ■ ' I I ! ( ■ ' 5?'^5l THURSDAY. AUGUST 14. 1947 HARNETT COUNTY NEWS-P»»bii8heda^imngton, n. c. « r? Capital News Letter j of UiUolgh’s leading citizens received and of Charity and Children fame. 1 one of tile Umstead pieces of mail. * for that matter. These Johnson's I ) , It urged him to cast his lot with the McMillan’s,' McNeill's and Memory’s (By Thompson Greenwood) P'lOHTIXG MAD—Governor R. Gregg (ilierry was fighliiiK mad last ^\eek when tlio Nojthamplon county Jury f.iiled to Indict alleged mob memliers wlio it Is said attempted to lyii!) (incidentally, one has con fessed to it) Godwin (Buddy) Bnsh, It2-year-old Negro, who they thought had made ati attempt t(» attack a white woman of Rich Square. He was too fast for them, got iway. she had admitted privately since then thfit she was merely highly nervous at the time. Her .^creaming turned out to be just a touch of female hys teria. She tays Bush dhi not try to alt.ick her. 'riiG freedom so speedily granted the seven was jnsi a little too much for Governor Cherry, who is usually in .ligh good humor. When he heard the news, he called in Private Sec retary John Harden, he called In the press, and he wont on the radio. He was ill a winding w’ay. His decision to have tlio case re tried- -in a slightly different man ner—won him virtually unanimous support, except possibly in North ampton, which easts a rather small vote- und, anyhow, Cherry can't run to succeed himself. However, Negro- haters—and there are still too many of them ill North Carolina—can and may take their vengenanco out on anybody Cherry supports. ^ NOT .MISSING A BET—-Speaking I of snppoit. Senator William B. Um- I stead's Durham office is now sending 1 out a few wlll-you-support-me let ters in widely vaiying directions. Just to show you how thoroughly they are going about this business of soliciting votes: Last week one Incumbent. But he hardly will. P. S. He’s a brother-in-law of J. M. Broughton. * « * FOlt CHARITY—The 100.000 Bap tists in North Carolina who read the "Cliaiity and Children," Thoinasville Orphanage paper, each Sunday after fhurcH—and sometimes during church—may not know it, but they have been looking over some rather fancy w'riting, here lately particu larly. That’s right. Arch (Whispering Mac) McMillan, editor, has been in Baptist Hospital in Winston-Salem leciiporatlng from a heart attack. During this time, guest editors have appeared. But one of those visiting writers (whose articles have not been signed) has at times probably received us lilgh us 50 cents per word for some of his historical utterances on paper. That’s Archibald Johnson of Baltimore Evening Sun fame— / If you believe the only difference in ga.solines is in the name . . . pull up at the next red pump . , . fill up with Conoco N-tane!

Two months ago Hudson School Principal R. L. Fritz, Jr., was the man of the hour In North Carolina. His future looked exceed ingly bright . . . Maybe state Super intendent of Schools some day . . . Overnight he was ruined, the State , Scliool Board revoking even his cer tificate to teach. He’s still NCEA president, but is expected to resign . . . However, don’t close your book on the matter . . . J. M. 'Broughton was conspicuous by his absence at Dr. J. Y. Joyner’s big day at La Grange last week . . . But his name was uppermost in discussions at Cong:essman Monroe Rellen’s big Hendersonville barbecue . . . Been reading about Chorlie Phillips sec ond conviction for allegedly murder ing his wife? Lilllngton and North j Carolina have hit the big papers throughout the nation . . . Don’t be surprised if another indictment grows out of the second trial. I « « * ' HOW WOULD YOU VOTE?—. ; Johnson Matthews of the State Pa- 1 role Commission received his Job I under the then Governor, J. M. Broughfon . . , But his wife worked as secretary to Senator William B. Umstead for 18 years. Mrs, Mat thews. cousin to Bill Horner of San ford, who was defeated for Congress last year by C. B. Deane, is also poli- ticall.v minded. The Matthews’ want to vote for the saine man. Under , these circumstances, liow would you I vote ? I * * * I IT TAKES MONEY—You keep I hearing talk and you continue read- ) ing items about the possibility of probability of Lt. Gov. L. Y. 'Ballen- tlne or State Democratic Committee Chairman Wilkins P. Horton or State Sen. Libby Ward running for Governor. Do you know why they have not as yet announced? There is one main reason. The other rea sons run exceedingly poor seconds. The real reason is insufficient fin ancial support. It takes money to run for Governor. Oh, yes, there is a $12,000 limit to a candidate’.$ expen ditures. But that’s a Joke, son, as almost everybody knows. * ♦ ♦ JUST SMART—R. M. Albright thinks ho can do It on the $12,000. Oscar Barker of Durham believes he cun nullify the needs for big expen- I dituros by teacher support. But the I three boys mentioned above are ! more realistic. The.v are smart. Show any one of them where he could de pend upon $50,000 financial back ing, and he might announce a few minutes thereafter. They have not seen this much money falling in their direction, and have not announ ced. and won’t until they do see it. * • ♦ THAT NAME—Mayne Albright i and wife are in the process of leav ing the ‘‘Civic Club Circuit" now that they have that trailer, and^will soon be out discussing campaign is sues with you. That name "Chal lenger" on the trailer is intriguing. Trailer was first named "Invader," but the Albright's finally decided on "Challenger” after friends had sug gested such names as “Buster"' (written within a broken ring), "Blount Street (the street the Man sion Is on) or Bust," and because of the trailer’s shape, “The Egg and Us." * * ♦ OFF THE CUFF—^Three good pic tures are now touring the State, and you may want to see them: "Great Expectations," "Possessed,” and “The Hucksters” . . . Word from Washington Is that Kenneth Royall (be lias bis own financial support) of Goldsboro, Secretary of the Army, Is sure to run for Governor . . . Well, not too sure . . . Pou Bailey, son of the late Senator Josiah Will iam, is practicing law dn Raleigh and is attracting right much favora ble attention around . . . 'He’s ex pected to have some little part in tl'e Senatorial race next year . . . School lunches will cost five cents more—at least that—this year. De creased Federal appropriations. * • * TOM AND CARL—Tom Bost, Sr., is known as the dean of Raleigh newspapermen. He has done more to make the Greensboro Daily News what it is today than any other living person. Carl Goerch, who is the State Magazine, did what you and I said was impossible when he, established this publication, and what is more, kept the danged thing Agoing! Tom and Carl are different in many ways, and are alike in some respects, Bost epn be seen almost any day going In a full, foot-slapping gallop across Capitol Square. Goerch walks in a semi-foxtrot all the time. Both are public speakers, but Goerch sel dom preaches, while Tom Boat does, quite frequently. Carl, however. Is paid more for his public appearances than Tom. j Neither is what any person would | call handsome, but their personall-' ties are so strong that this short-' coming is hardly apparent. They both ' look like dogs: Tom like a friendly j old Collie; Curl like a screw-tailed' Bull Terrier. Carl wears an owlish,! is-that-ao expression. Tom looks as if he is surprise-proof. They are both | against prohibition. However, Carl | won’t accept alcoholic advertising j for his magazine, and Tom la a tee- LABEL FOR GIFTS TO GREECE . . . Rep. Leo ,E.

They are both in lobust health, ap- paieiitly. Both are what is known as "Cliaracter.s.” Kurthoi more, Carl is also known as something of a "card," whatever that means. You frequently hear someone say! "Ali, that Curl Goerch is a curd!” , Anyway, you should go out of your way, if necessary, to read Tom’s article on prohibition In the current issue of Carl’s “The State.” It’s good!
