Ehring haus has again set the politicians— at least a number of them—wond ering if he will go after the toga now worn by Senator J. W. Bailey in the 1936 primary elections. Reports seeping into Raleigh say! the governor is making quite an1 impression on the voters with his speeches in which he docs not1 mince words in declaring his sup port of and belief in the New Deal j administration as well as taking! care, especially in the cotton-grow-j ing counties, to say he believes that' even under the Bankhead cotton control bill the farmers are getting ! twice as much for their cotton as ] they did during the Hoover admin- i icr ri r trsr» ! A political orator of no mean i ability, the chief executive is mak- ; ing such vigorous speeches that he i unwittingly, perhaps, has revivedj the talk he will oppose Senator j Bailey in 193 6. To questions as to his future political plans, how-j ever, the governor says he is not j a candidate for any office because1 he has his hands full being gover nor. But he has not said he would not be a candidate against Senator! Bailey. He is leaving all political, doors open. No governor since the days of Zebulon Vance has been elected to; the United States senate from this; state, but friends of Governor Ehringhaus, who is extremely pop ular in the east by reason of his activities in behalf of the tobacco farmers, say they are convinced he will race Senator Bailey. The gov ernor’s many western speeches in this campaign also cause tongue: wagging among the politicians. Veteran observers are of the; opinion that if the governor can compile a goqd batting average with the forthcoming state legisla ture and can go into 1936 with the state in good financial condition he is not likely to go back to his home in Elizabeth City without making i bid for the seat Senator Bailey now holds. As it is, the governor’s name usually comes up for considerable discussion when politicians gather here from various sections of the state and start talking of potential opponents for Senator Bailey in 1936. Harris Band To Broadcast Over W.S.O.C - i The Harris Concert Band, under :he direction of Ernest Harris, will broadcast from W. S. O. C. in i charlotte Sunday afternoon at 4:3 0 ; >’clock. 3 This program is the first of a - :eries of Sunday afternoon broad- ^ :asts featuring local talent prepar :d by the J. Carson Brantley Ad vertising Agency in order to better icquaint the citizens of Salisbury ind neighboring towns with the ocial and industrial opportunities if Salisbury. A series of seven broadcasts will >e presented, one each Sunday at 1:30 o’clock from W. S. O. C. The >ublic is urged to tune in each iunday and hear these interesting ialisbury programs. They tell people to avoid in lammation of the mouth, but vhat can you expect when the nouth is constantly in motion? Invisible “Dirt” Showers Upon Us Bacteria-Bearing Contamina tion Is Called Kind To Be Avoided By Or. J. Lynn Mahaffey Director, New Jersey State Depart ment of Health Practically everybody realizes that good health and cleanliness are closely related, yet it is a curious fact that some of the more impor tant aspects of cleanliness—those Dr. J. Lynn Mahaffey I that deal with what might be calle< I living contamination, are often ig j nored. In general there are two kinds olj ‘dirt”: the ordinary soil or grimt which discolors our hands, faces and clothing during the day’s work 01 play, and the living dirt—the often• invisible dirt, containing bacteria; —which fails upon us from the air reaches us from contaminated sur faces, comes to us in foods and frofr other sources. Reason for C!eanline*» Cleanliness, the purpose of which is to get rid of the first kind, or dead dirt, is of importance for rea sons of appearance and comfort only. But it is not enough merely to protect ourselves from visible dirt. The invisible but living dirt, con taining bacteria, must also b guarded against. Even though many kinds of bacteria—in fact most kinds—are harmless, being merely tiny plants leading a useful existence, there are also some kinds which arc enemies of the body. I This is the first, of a series of ar ticles by Dr. Mahaffey. We hear about speechless people jeing taught to talk, but don’t eem to hear much about too talka ive ones being taught to keep still. People find the business outlook erv bright when they want to bor ow money, but very bad when sked to contribute to something. Catawba Teacher Making Study Of Rubber Flexibility ! - Dr. Braun, professor of physics at Catawba college, recently re turned from a northern trip in con nection with an experiment which he is conducting at the present time. Dr. Braun is carrying on a re search on why a rubber band stretches. While in the north, he visited Philadelphia where he pre sented a paper on "The Evtensibi lity of a Rubber Band” before a scientific society at Franklin insti tute. While in that section, he also visited the Bartol laboratory of Swarthmore college, and attended a meeting of the optical society of the bureau of standards at Wash ington, all these stops being in connection with his present line of work. Dr. Braun is not the first scien tist to conduct such a research. In ] 1876, Dr. Kohlhaus, famous for his work in the scientific world, start ed the general line of study in that field. His work was taken over by Dr. Bausse, and Dr. Courrier in 1903, but none of these men ijame to a satisfactory conclusion. Thus, if Dr. Braun’s work terminates suc cessfully, which he has every hope that it will, he will be the first man to publish a successful solution of the question. | deaths!

Brown j of Rockwell have announced the) engagement of their daughter, Rose, to J. W. Byers, Jr., of Salis bury. The marriage will take place in the late autumn. Miss Brown is the second daugh-' ter of Mr. and Mrs. George L., Brown of Rockwell. She is a graduate of Camden Commercial college, Camden, N. J., and for( several years was secretary to the '■ principal of Boyden high school, this city, later accepting a position with the Home Owners Loan cor-' poration.

He : is a graduate of Catawba college i and is at present a member of the ; faculty of Boyden high school. Formerly the children asked con- i lent of the parents before getting ^ narried, but about all the parents Js :an expect now is to get an invita- c :ion to the wedding, and they don’t s ilways get that. c Keeps 10,000 Mile Appointment From Radio Car NEW YORK . . . H. €. Lang (above), of Schenectady, N. Y., had an appointment with Australia, 10,000 miles away, for a short-wave radio visit. He over-slept; but in the automobile, enroute to the experimental station, he was "cat in" for a two-way conversation which was carried on perfectly until he reached the station. State Chairman Says Vote Tues. Raleigh.—"Get out the largest possible vote in every county, even though there may be no local con tests” is the admonition of State Chairman J. Wallace Winborne on the eve of the election next Tues day. "Remember,” Mr. Winborne urges, "that aside from your local county and district candidates, there are to be elected by a State wide majority vote, three justices of the North Carolina Supreme Court, Chief Justice W. P. Stacy, and Associates Hcriot Clarkson and Michael Schenck: the State Treas urer, Charles M. Johnson, and the State Utilities Commissioner, Stanley Winborne, in addition to two Superior Court judges who have opposition, Julius A. Rous seau, of the 17th district, and J. Will Pless, Jr., of the 18 th district. "Even in the counties and dis tricts where there are no contests* it is exceedingly important that large Democratic majorities be given these State-wide candidates, as well as the Congressional can didates. By so doing the Democrats af the State are giving their en dorsement of the administration of President Roosevelt in the nation and Governor Ehringhaus in the State. "Important, too, will be the re ailt of a huge Democratic majority ill along the line in sweeping from ander the Republicans the begin ling of a basis they have been pre paring for the campaign in 1936, vhich will be the crucial testing ime of President Roosevelt and his Mew Deal. I urge that every De nocrat do his full duty from now antil the votes have been counted ind recorded.” Record Train Run Railroading’s answer to aerial and lutomotive competition reached Mew York after a record-breaking ■un across the continent, and the rnsuing excitement caused the engi teer to faint. Fifty-six hcurs and 5 5 minutes j if ter leaving Los Angeles the Union \ Pacific’s new streamlined train, re- ! ;embling a huge yellow caterpillar.! -oiled into Grand Central terminal vith a cluster of new speed records :o its credit. The previous trans- ■ :ontinental record was 69 hours ind seven minutes, made 10 years ‘go- | Overcome by the press of wel :omeing crowds and the sudden eas ng of the nervous strain under1 vhich he had labored during the ong exhibition run, H. D. Robin on, assistant motor car supervisor >f the Union Pacific, fainted on the tation platform. The philosophers tell us that our oundations are being shaken, and /e do not doubt the truth of their j tatements when the hungry boys i ome trooping into the house after j; chool and nearly tear the place:; own. ii Accidental Pistol Shot Proves Fatal Lexington.—Ira Lomax, 3 3, em ployee at a filling station 10 miles southwest of here on highway 10, was fatally wounded when a pistol he was wearing on a belt was ac cidentally discharged at the sta tion about 1 o’clock Sunday morn ing. The bullet entered the groin and penetrated an artery and Lo max died from loss of blood upon reaching a Salisbury hospital. County officers who investigated were told the weapon was dis charged while Lomax was hand ling a soft drink crate. Production Control Needed With Cotton Abandonment of the cotton control program, with the conse quent increase in production, would throw the cotton growing indus try back in to the ruinous condi tions of 1932, warns Charles A. Sheffield, of State College. Spurred on by the present in crease of prices, southern cotton growers would proba61y plant 50, 000,000 acres to cotton next year if the control program is removed, he said. With a good growing season and intensive cultivation, a crop of 25 to 30 million bales would flood the market, drive prices down to rock bottom, and overthrow the work done thus far in putting the grower back on his feet, he observ-! ed. 'TM AAA II 1 1 a iic tunudcis uy ^xiciiiaci- j ves are hardly able to cope with the j situation, he added, for non-sign ing growers could easily plant enough extra cotton to more than offset the adjustments made by the signers. He pointed to the Bankhead act, or some similar measure, as a.vital part of the pro gram. Southern farmers have learned to combat the boll weevils, to use fertilizer more effectively, and pro duce more cotton to the acre. At the same time, cotton acreage has expanded at home and abroad. The result was local production of far more than could be consumed at home and a dwindling foreign market. Since the normal consumption of Amercan cotton is about half the amount southern growers are able to produce, he pointed out, it is evident that some form of con trol will be necssary if markets are not to be glutted. The present short crop of cotton is no sign that unlimited production can be start - ed safely in the future. The people who talk too much ire told to button up their lips. It would take sewing them up to close 1 some of them adequently. The scientists tell us that the col-! i >red tutumn leaves are due to the ] ack of chlorophyll and the presence 1 >f anthrocyanians, but this valu- i ible information does not help us f ;ny to persuade Junior to rake up < hese leaves when they fall. e McAdoo Takes Car Away From Ellen To Stop Marriage s ——— Hollywood.—Sen. William Gibbs McAdoo, whose role in his daught er’s romance has been that of the stern, forbidding father, Saturday deprived her of an automobile in which to drive her movie actor finance on pleasure jaunts. Not one whit disturbed, how ever, was 19-year-old Ellen Wilson McAdoo whose sweetheart, Rafael Lopez De Onate, is twice her age and the subject of dispute over his racial lineage. "I can walk,” said Ellen wtfh a toss of her dark head, "and I will walk.” Nor did she appear daunted by threats of her father to disinherit her and eliminate her $10,000 an nual allowance if she carries out her plans to marry De Onate. ^ i t • f e *i j UC c/naic aim im inwiac to keep an appointment yesterday with the Riverside county clerk. The clerk was prepared to demand proof of De Onate’s claims of Spanish parentage if they applied for a marriage license. Notice of intention to marry had been filed earlier in the week, at which time the actor flatly denied his mother was Filipino blood. Intermarriage of Caucasians and Malayans is for bidden in California. Salisbury Man Heads Accountants Thomas P. Zum Brunnen of Sal isbury was elected president of the North Carolina Association of Certified Public Accountants as the fifteenth annual convention of the group came to a close in Raleigh. The new president succeeds Wil liam F. Stevens of Lenoir. George E. Poole of Raleigh was named vice president of the group, suc ceeding Mr. Zum Brunnen. Frank P. Buck of Salisbury was elected secretary, and Leslie A. Heath of Charlotte was re-elected treasurer for the ensuing year. We are told to beware of people who cough, but those who cough up can come around here all right. Classified Ads WANT AD RATES This type, 10 point—5 cents per line—5 words to the line.
