G.O.P. Governor’s Race Narrows To Three Men
GREER, HORTON,
OR HOLT SURE
TO BE NOMINEE
Boone Tillett, Of Char
lotte, Likely Choice For
Lieutenant Governor;
Jackson Also Mentioned;
Jonas To Be Re-Elected.
The 1932 republican candidate for
governor of North Carolina will be
one of the following three men, in the
opinion of the party’s inner council:
I. G. Greer of Boone, Holland Hol
ton of Duke university, and Eugene
Holt of Burlington.
For the nomination for United
States senator, Jake F. Newell, Char
lotte lawyer, will be unopposed. That
is a tip straight from the republican
powers that be. Mr. Newell is to have
a clear track ahead, and nobody will
be permitted to throw any sand upon
it.
Boone Tillett of Charlotte is likely
to be the republican candidate for lieu
tenant governor. Brownlow Jacksor
of Hendersonville, former state chair
man and the party’s unsuccessful can
didate for congress from the tentl
congressional district in 1930, has al
so been mentioned.
Charles A. Jonas of Lincolnton, nov
serving under a recess appointment oi
the president as western North Caro
lina district attorney, is expected to be
unopposed for re-election as national
committeeman from North Carolina
Mrs. Queen Bess Kennon of Mocks
ville, national committeewoman, will
probably be unopposed, although there
has been some mention of a possible
contest for that position.
The convention is expected to bring
5,000 or more visitors to the city, in
cluding 2,980 delegates and alternates.

Rowan County).
The Lance Jack went A. W. O.
Loose at Winston, and as a consequence
had to do K. P which prevented his
cluttering up the paper with this col
umn last week. Having scrubbed the
prescribed number of G. I. pots and
pans we will now carry on.
The Samuel C. Hart Post having
duly endorsed the candidacy of Bryce
Parker Beard for State Commander,
which action was predicted in a form
er issue, nothing now remains but the
concerted efforts of every ex-service
man in Rowan county to assure Mr.
Beard of election. Let’s get together,
gang, and do our stuff. Bryce Beard
is the logical leader for the year 1932
1933, he well merits the Jtonor for past
performance in behalf of the ex-service
body. Bryce is so situated through bus
iness and financial position to make
of North Carolina’s Department the
biggest and best ever. His business is
ideally suited to the Post of Command
er, as it carries him into nearly every
town with a Legion Post one or more
times each year. This personal contact
will be of the greatest value to the
State Department, and the frequency
of his visits will be of great value to
post officials and membership. Here
tofore our Department Commanders
were forced to relinquish the great
privilege of visiting the numerous
posts throughout the state, or make
great financial sacrifices in their bus
mess life. Ihe great majority ot them
have been in business that was purely
local in character, making it necessary
for them to stay rather closely at
home, or neglect their private affairs.
Many of them did so neglect their
personal business in „order that they
might visit as many posts as possible,
but due to limited time and traveling
facilities, only the larger posts had the
pleasure of entertaining them, under
Mr. Beard even the smallest post in
the state will have equal opportunity
with the more populous centres. Aside
from the ability to contact the va
rious posts, Mr. Beard is well known
throughout the state, and well liked,
he is noted for his interest in the Le
gion and its affairs, a tireless work,
er, a good business man, a clear think
er and a square shooter. As Command
er of the North Carolina Department,
we can look forward to a year of great
progress and renewed interest in Le
gion affairs.
Come on, gang, let’s go! Make our
slogan Bryce Beard or Bust for De
partment Commander.
The Samuel C. Hart Post voted to
hold their next regular or a called
meeting in the county, with the avow
ed intention of enrolling some of those
Buddies who have never belonged, or
who have dropped out. A committee
composed of R. L. Davis, Lawrence
Haynes, Kent Goley and others were
appointed to make suitable arrange
ments for this meeting, and instruct
ed to get busy. They will doubtless
do this at a very early date, and at
that time will decide upon the loca
tion for this meeting, the program
that will be carried out and other nec
essary arrangements. The recent cold
weather has retarded action on this
matter, but as soon as it moderates an
nouncement will be made and the
meeting arranged for.
All together, gang, for a bigger and
better Samuel C. Hart Post, now with
319 members, and a concerted drive
for our comrade, Bryce Parker Beard,
for Commander.

ASK ADDITION TO
BANKRUPT LAW
Salisbury merchants are co-operat
ing with the National Retail Credit
association in its bill now before con
gress providing for an amendment to
the act creating the universal system
of bankruptcy throughout the United
States.
The proposed amendment is design
ed to curtail the present tendency of
firms purchasing merchandise before
going into bankruptcy and placing it
in the names of the wives of the pro
prietors or otherwise disposing of it
so that no collection can be made af
ter bankruptcy goes into effect.
The act establishing the universal
system of bankruptcy in the United
States was passed in 1898.
The amendment provides that a dis
charge in bankruptcy shall release a
bankrupt from all his provable debts,
except: 1—Those that are due as a
tax levied by the United States, the
state, county, district,- or municipality
in which he resides; 2—Liabilities for
obtaining property by false pretense;
3— Those that have been duly sched
uled in time for proof and allowance;
4— Those created by fraud and em
bezzlement; 5—Wages to workmen,
clerks and employes; 6—Debts due for
moneys of an employe; 7—Debts for
necessaries of life. These exceptions
are made provided that all debts con
tracted for within the period >f four
months prior to the filing of a peti
tion in bankruptcy shall be construed
to have been contracted for with in
tent to defraud unless otherwise prov
ed by the bankrupt.
