Raleigh, Dec. M.?For the Brat time
since the memories of North Caro
linians run to the contrary, members
of the Genial Assembly hare been
called .together prior to the conven
ing of the legislative session and all
b< cause the home-folks of O. Max
Gardner, Governor-elect, have indi
cated a desire to let the people knotv
"what manner of man" the Shelby
folks are offering to the people of
North Carolina, in the person of their
distinguished citizen who will assume
the reign of 'the Stale government
on the 11th day of January, 19X9. The
Klwanis Club of Shelby, of Which Mr.
Gardner has long been a member,
is to give a banquet in honor of the
Governor^lect in the old home town
cn December 29th and every member
CL. the in-coming General Assembly
is Included in the list of guests in
vited to grace the festive board with
their presence. State officials are in
cluded in the list or special gnests
and the event is proposed as a token
of tribute to O. Max Gardner fofhis
untiring interest in the organisation
since he became a charter member
of the club in Shelby years ago. The
Wake county delegation to the 1929
General Assembly accepts the invita
tion of the Shelby Kiwanis Club and,
according to present plans, will be
on hand to do honor to the 8tate's
next "director general' in appropriate
style.
Meanwhile, plans for the lnaugura
tion of the new Governor on January
lxth are being perfected in the capital
city of the State as rapidly as pos
siWe. The sub-committee appointed
ro handle the details for tbednaugura
tion exercises here is actively at work
ir. arranging all the details. It is
said that a luncheon at the mansion
will follow the inaugural exercises,
a feature of wjjlch will be presenta
tion of a gift from the Cleveland
county school children by Lee B.
Weathers, editor of the Cleveland
Star, to the new Governor. It is said
that Adjutant General Metz has invited
every National Guard organization in
thi Sttae to take part in the parade,
after which the Legislative inaugural,
committee will be hosts at a luncheon,
at the mansion, in honor of Governor
Gardner, following a review of the
parade arranged by Adjutant General
Van B. Metz, a member of the com
rr'ttee in charge of. arrangements. It
is. therefore, apparent that Mr. Gard
ner's inauguration will be attended
by the usual formalities and as litttle
ostentation as possible, with all of?
ficial agencies and local organizations
seeking to do him honor as the First
Citizen of the State. A "visitors ball"
is being planned at {he city hall for
the evening, beginning at 10:30 o'clock
There will be the usual public re
ception at the mansion in the even
ing beginning at 8 o'clock.
Although at present engaged in
passing Christmas joy along to the
cnfortunates in this city and vicinity,
Raleigh - is preparing for the coming
the second week of January members
of the General Assembly of 192!*.
The State administration is also set
tin; its house in order and the Me
morial Hall, located between the cap
ital and the end of Fayetteville street,
is ready for Inspection. It Is 188 feet
long and 30 feet wide. Including space
fourteen feet wide at each end for a
monument, the Aycock statue having I
been moved from its former position
facing Morgan street on the south
east side of thfc square, to the weat
end of the hall and the Mclver statue
to a position near the center of the
soutf east quarter of the square cor.
responding, in position, to the Worth
Bagley monument In the south west
quarter and the Wyatt memorial In
the north west quarter. The east
end of the Mall is left open* for a
later statue, while a space Is reserved
for another in the south east quarter.
The cost of these improvement In the
Capitol grounds Is said to be around
$7,040 so far and the General Assem
bly is expected to appropriate a suf
ficient sum to complete the plans
which, officials believe, have the ap
proval of the In.comlng Governor.
Raleigh is right now interested to
some extent In the organization of the
two branches of the General Assem
bly for there will be pages, clerks
and stenographers to select after leg.
islative appointments are announced
and a major portion of these are us
ually found here in the capital city of
the State. The fslate fixers" figure
that Representative A. - H. Graham,
of Orange, will be Speaker of the
House without opposition and that
Senator T. L. Johnson, of Robeson,
is the best bet for. president protein
of the Senate. Alex LasslleT. connect
ed with the principal clerk's office
of the House since ISM, as assistant
or chief clerk. Is expected to succeed
himself as principal clerk, notwlth-i
standing the candidacy of Walter L<ee
Horton, of Wake, for that posltlo&i
Miss Rosa Mund, of Concord, will
l some back as engrossing clerk of the
House If she so desires and R. T. Wil

i
son, of Caswell, as enrolling clerk.
Leroy Martin has no opposition for
re-election to the position of prin
cipal clerk of the Senate. Otis p. Shell
of Harnett appehrs to. have a clear Bel
lor sergeant at arms and the Reverend
A Cory for engrossing clerk. "Doc"
Higgins, defeated two years ago for
sergeant at arms of the House b?
Captain Lisk, an aged Confederate
veteran, will probably have easy sail
ing in the House caucus on the even
ing of January 8th along with the
successful contestants for other House
positions. He has been there before,
