CAPITAL LETTERS BY THOMPSON GREENWOOD on the telephone. And, like her, ON THE PHONE?Raleigh po- [ they were busy listening to pro litics last week were a great j positions, and in turn scheming deal like the Pretty girl who used | up a few of their own. to grace the pages of Esquire! Eriday afternoon, Lt. Gov. Magazine: They were constantly! L. Y. Kaiientine had his state SHALLOTTE SHOE SHOP NOW OPEN1?for the repair of your shoes in the Roney Cheers building', six days of the week. Let us Repair your Shoes, Leather Coats, Harness, Etc. Shallotte Shoe Shop, Shallotte, N. C. TAX LISTING LASTS ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS Make Arrangements To See YOUR TOWNSHIP TAX LISTER Before January 31,1948 W. P. JORGENSEN Tax Supervisor, BRUNSWICK COUNTY J EE THE MODERN REFRIGERATOR FOR MODERN LIVING SENSATIONAL PHILCO Freezer LEGGETTS SOUTHPORT, N. C. ment announcing his candidacy for State Treasurer all ready. But then Friday night Commissioner of Agriculture Kerr Scott upset the fruit basket when he declared that he would not run for office i again?at least not for Agricul I ture Commissioner. i Throughout Friday night and I Saturday the telephones were ? busy anew. CHERRY'S HAND??Up in [ Asheville. Brandon Hodges was i reportedly getting ready to run ;for Lieutenant Governor. Ballen | tine had set his head pretty i strongly on making a go at it for I treasurer. First of all. Ballentine I had to be urged to become a | candidate for Commissioner of I Agriculture. This required quite a bit of urging, for he had final ly made his plans in another di ! rection. There is rumor?not entirely without foundation?that the broad hand of Governor R. Gregg Cherry did some shoulder-slapping | and hand-shaking. A lot happen ed in only a few hours, Saturday I from 10 to 4 o'clock. Hodges then became a runner j for State Treasurer: Ballentine [ tore up his announcement for this j office and threw his hat in the, agricultural ring; and D. S. Col jtrane, Assistant Commissioner of 'Agriculture went into a head scratching debate with himself as to whether he wanted to be agri I cultural head sufficiently to take on Ballentine in this campaigif. THE ASHEVILLE GROUP? That element of the Cherry ad ministration which is plugging for Senator W. B. Umstead thinks it has pulled something of a coup I in the Asheville area. With Hod- J ges running for treasurer and Cherry supporting him, these Greggerites think that, in return, Don Elias and Deacon Green will, of course, do all they can for Umstead. They feel, also, that Balleh tine will go along with the U. S. Senatorial incumbent. The game of politics does indeed make strange bed-fellows. As the late Negro pianist and jazz singer, Fats Waller, said in a song, "One Never Know, Do One?" OFF THE CUFF?Although as' this is written, D. S. Coltrane is regarded generally as a candidate for Agriculture Commissioner, this corner ventures the predic tion that he will not run, will support Ballentine, and will con tinue as Assistant Agriculture Commissioner ... As a student of regulations pertaining to feeds. I seeds, and fertilizers, he has no peer in the Nation . . . Congress men John Folger and Bob Dough ton are still undecided whether to run again?but both probably will . . . There is an outside chance that Bill Horner of San ford may again oppose Congress man C. B. Deane .' . . Congress men Bulwinkle and Kerr are ex pected to retire after one more term. ?TUST AUTSIDE?The State League of Municipalities will tell you that the average town in North Carolina is hard put to it these days to find funds with which to pay its expenses. That's why officials frown at concerns who build just outside the city limits. They need that taxation. One such firm was severely punished last week by the city of High Point, and the spanking resulted, properly so, in severa! red faces in the furniture city. This building, erected just out side the gates, caught on fire. The High Point Fire Department was called. When it was found that the firm was not in the cor porate limits, the department said nothing doing. Nothing was done, either. The Thomasville Fire De-1 partment, only a few miles away, was called by the firm's manager. | The trucks came screaming the five or six ?miles. But when they I got there, they were not permitt-! ed to obtain water from High Point water mains. The building] burned to the ground. j RUNNING WILD?They had J that wildlife dinner last Friday night, with most State Depart ment of Agriculture personnel present a number of guests. The only thing tame about it was the turkey. Even the price ran wild, the whole cost running about $2.00 per plate, but this was around $1.00 less than plates at these big shindigs they have in Raleigh. A good and whole some time was had by all. but the dinner proved that meals run high now even if they do come straight from field and forest. TESTIN?How good is a teach er? Well, North Carolina seems determined to find out, somehow, just what constitutes a good teacher. The method now follow ed fixes it so that a teacher is paid on the basis of training and experience. Whether she is a good instructor or not makes not one whit of difference. And you know and we all know there are peda gogues in this State making top salaries who really have no busi ness in the classroom whatever. Now comes the testing. HOW??Tests to determine methods of merit rating for teach ers began last week in Asheville We Have Plenty Of FUEL OIL HEATERS In Stock DUO-THERM CUSTOM-AIRE LEGGETT'S I Southport, N. C.

This body hopes to determine [if?and how?it is possible to de cide whether a teacher is good, (average, or poor. If merit can be determined, it will be used, along with training and experience, in setting up salary scales for teach ers.
