OUR RALEIGH LETTER
, By ?r L. Shipnwn
Raleigh, May 1#Politic# continues
to hold th? center ol the stage U> the
capital city of the State and observa
tions are not confined to State con
tests. the County of Wake has devel
oped a spirited fight for district so
licitor between L. a Braastield, In
cumbent, and former State Senator J.
C. Little. Raleigh lawyer, Mr. Little
recently opened his campaign with
charges that Solicitor Braastield re
ceived one-third of the 6 per cent
commission from A. M.Pullen Com
pany, who performed an andlt for this
county in 1918 at a cost of approxi
mately 125,000, tor his influence in
securing the contract for them, and
that the Solicitor has, on occasion,
been unduly Influenced not to press
prosecution of certain cases pending
in his court. All of which Mr. Brass
field denies and Invites careful scrut
iny of his record. Wake politicians
may generally be depended upon to
develop an acrimonious campaign for
solicitor and the present scrap can
not be considered "an exception to
the rule." The United States Sena
torship "may go hang," if the Seventh
Judicial District can only have the
"right man" for Solicitor. Wake Dem
ocrats offer two candidates and
Franklin will probably decide which
of the two shall "walk away with the
bacon."
Friday, May 28, will mark the last
day on which candidates for selection
as nominees of any political party for
the office of State Senator, member
of the House of Representatives, and
county and township offices may file
respective county boards of elections.
The registration books close on Sat
urday, May 24, and voters who ex
pect to participate in the primary
June 7 for the nomination of Demo
cratic and Republican candidates
from United States Senator to town
ship constable must be registered
during the present week. The At
torney General holds that voters must
register in person, not by proxy, and
not by telephone; that the Constitu
tion require; the personal appearance
of the registrant and no statute is
sufficient to nullify this requirement.
Secretary Raymond Maxwell, of the
State Board of Elections, is busy for
warding State and district ballots to
the various counties of the State, hav
ing received the entire allotment from
the printers on Thursday of last week
s total of 4,200,00, exclusive of the
samples provided for the guidance of
sltction officials, markers and the
voters themselves. Tickets may, un
der the law, be procured from elec
tion officials of the precincts only.
Esch voter is entitled to receive one
ballot and no more. In the event of
t.n error in marking, the spoiled bal
lot may be exchanged for another,
but mtist not be destroyed by the
voter himself. The usual indlscremt1- j
r.?t? distirbutlon qfballots is a thing j
of the past under the new law.
Returning recently from the "peace
conference" in Columbia. Walter.p. I
BUer, assistant attorney general as-1
signed to the Department of Revenue.
Capt. Sprague Silver, head of the
Motor Vehicle Bureau; Chas. Ross, at
torney to the State Highway Commis
sion. and Capt C. D. Farmer, of the
State Highway Patrol, brought infor
mation to the effect that no final
agreement was reached between/of
ficials of the two states touching'the
controversy over license tags. Only
a temporary agreement was reached
whereby traveling salesmen will be
allowed free passage across the lines
for thirty days, but officers of each
state will continue to seize trucks
from the other state unless. the
trucks carry two sets of licenses, and
automobiles carrying merchandise
are to be accorded the same treat
ment. The tag trouble originated In
South Carolina and that state is ex
pected to submit a compromise, or
plan of adjustment, to North Caro
lina authorities within the next thir
ty days.
Captain Farmer reports that the
State Highway Patrol detected 15,424
violations of the State traffic laws
dtaring the month of April, arrested
392 of the violators and collected
Hoes amounting to $4,457.57. The
patrolmen were also Instrumental In
the sale of 1930 automobile license
aggregating $13,074.97 to motorists
who were apprehended while operat
ing cars without the proper licensst
Warnings were given 0.698 motorists
who were apprehended while operat
ing cars without the proper license.
Warnings were given 0,698 motorists,
courtesies extended to 865, and 497
were warned against passing cars on
curves; 133 about passing on hills
and 333 (or "hogging the road." Dur
ing the laon'h patrolmen used 3.336
gallons of gasollna, 1400 pints of oil,
traveled 113,541 miles, operated their
machines a total of 6,022 hours and
spent 11,180 hours on duty. Forty
five arrests were made for w reckless
driving, 60 for operating a car while
Intoxicated, 12 for failing to return
warning cards, 10 for driving cars
under age and 0 for not observing
signals. April sales of automobiles
Indicate that more than' 33.00MM
were paid for new cars by North Cfr
ollntans figuring an average of $800
per oar, or a total of 3,903, of which
1,897 were Fords and 1,164 were
Cbevroleta. In April, 1929, 7,060 new
oars were sold in the Bute.
Secretary Jule B. Warren, of the
North Carolina Education Association,
figures that white school teachers in
North Carolina last year were paid an
average of $899, or $168 less than the
average annual salary received by the
teachers In South Carolina and more
than $300 less (Kan the average annual
salary paid t sec hers throughout the
country. Salaries of superintendents
ere net Included In the "deductions."
A number of delegations from vari
ous counties of the Sixth Highway1
District called on Governor Gardner
during the week to urge appointment
of their favorite sous to succeed the
late f, C. WUtineoe, of Charlotte, ae
? member of the State Highway Com
mission. The Governor terminated
the con teat on Friday by the appoint
ment of Jamea k McNair, prominent
laqrintarg banker tor the team
which expiree April 1. 1PM. Other
aspirants were: Mayor Geo. U Ly
erly, of Ktefeery;' Welter Murphy.
Salisbury; A O. Myers. O as to ilia, and
Col. T. L. Klrpatrlck, of Charlotte.
In addition to the strength of his en
dorsements, the Oorprnor appointed
Mr. McNalr in order that the eastern
end of the district might be recog
nised.
Further emphasising his "Lire-at
home" program Qorernor Gardner re
cently Issued a proclamation calling
on all farmers, landowners and ten
ants, dirt farmers, and those who
simply own farms for others to cultl
\ate, in every section of the State
from the Coastal Plain to the "moun
tain fastnesses" not to permit the
passage of the months of May and
June without planting an increased
acreage hreorn, hay and other sub
sistence crops to provide the needs of
winter and the lean months to follow.
However, It appears that the farmers
this year "need not to be told." Great
er preparations than for years before
have been made for crops of various
kinds in the State and "unless all
signs fall" there will be an abundance
of soy beans, corn, cowpeas, and grass
for the stock, with foodstuffs galore
to "keep soul and body together."
And the "money crops" are not being
neglected.
According to figures collated In the
offices of the State Budget Bureau
long distance telephony, calls during
April cost North Carolina $825 which
Is said to have been about the average
month; the Historical Commission
about forty-five cents, Governor's of
fice and the Mansion $74.35, State
State
Highway Commission $215. Some of
the call* were personal and the State
were re-lmbursed tor these.

crease in output' The distribution
bereafUr is expected to Include the
Pamlico, Neuae and Cape Fear rivers
ss well as the Roanoke, the latter to
receive a large part of the etrlped
"variety."
Huge damage by forest fires Is re
ported from a number of North Caro
lina counties lor the first four months
of the year and April Is said to laad
in this particular, although final fig
ures for that month axe not yet avail
able. More than 6,000 men were en
