Raleigh Round-Up Trio Of Three Women Conld Strengthen Scott Campaip, Gov. Off To New York By KIDD BREWER 'WITH THE WOMEN . . . Reports I we have are to the effect that the personable Mrs. Annie Cooper, wife •ff a Wake county oil dealer and principal clerk of the house for More legislatures than she likes to remember, will be in charge of the women’s division of the Alton A. Lennon campaign for the U. S. senate. As of last Friday the fin *er had not pointed firmly toward Mrs. Cooper but was wavering •trongly in that direction. An an nouncement was expected any mo ment. People around Raleigh are ask ing where Miss Myrtha Fleming in Kerr Scott’s campaign setup. She became his secretary when he took office as commissioner of ag riculture in 1937 and remained with him solidly through his campaign for governor. When he was elect ed, Miss Fleming was made clerk to the state utilities commission, a very, very good job indeed. In fact, probably the best position in the hired-help category a woman can aspire to in North Carolina. When W. B. Umstead became povernor, out went Miss Fleming end in went Mrs. Mary Laurens Kichardson, who had headed up his women’s division. Mrs. Grace Lane is handling Can didate Scott’s campaign correspon dence for some time, and then there is Mrs. Mildred Moseley, who worked in Scott’s headquarters in IM8 and — if memory faileth not -—in both the Graham and Olive punpaigns. It would certainly be interesting to observe that triumverate—Miss Kyrtha Fleming, Mrs. Grace Lane and Mrs. Mildred Moseley—work tug in close communion for the nomination of their old boss, W. Kerr Scott. We doubt seriously it will hap pen, but each of them is a fine per son, capable, and could be a great asset striving as an important pis ton, as it were, in a three-cylinder amit for Kerr Scott. TX) GOTHAM ... For the first hue since he went up to buy his inaugural hat and other swearing to finery, William B. Umstead is traveling to New York City. Ac companying him are Private Sec retary Ed Rankin, C & D Direc * tor Ben Douglas, and probably members of his family. Prime reason for the trip is to meet, talk with, and probably / pray over, industrial prospects and members of the North Caro lina club in New York City. The trip could, potentially, pay big dividends to the state. We have - nothing to do with it, bat the powers that be are missing a good bet if they don’t take along '-Gene Simmons of Tarboro, who is such a big asset to Ben Doug las’ program throughout the state. IVEY GROWTH? . . . While in Charlotte last week we heard a whisper—and only a whisper, so 'don't get excited — that the J. B. Ivey Co. would soon make a bid lor the purchase of the big, beauti ful and successful Ellis Stone stares in Durham and Greensboro. Ivey now has stores in Charlotte. Raleigh, Asheville, Greenville, S. C., and in Florida. Dr. L. G.

GUY DEAN Plumbing — Heating And Electric * Dial 2-2711—Times Arcade BRINGING THEM HOME . . . Yes, said the old Democrat, Pres ident Ike said he would bring home my boy from Korea. Last week we got back our two boys from Detroit. HOFFMAN . . . Speaking of mo tors, as who was, Paul Hoffman, formerly with Studebaker and now one of President Eisenhower’s chief confidential advisors, will be the principal talker here in about two weeks at the annual meeting of the N. C. Citizens association. HIGGINS IN ... It is no sur prise that Carlisle Higgins is succeeding Robert L. Doughton as Democratic national commit teeman for North Carolina. Higgins, who managed W. B. Umstead’s campaign for gover nor, would have been chosen to succeed Jonathan Daniels as na tional committeeman two years ago had it not been that Con gressman Bob had shown some interest in the position. In deference to his age, the love and high esteem held for him by the governor, and his long service to the party, Doughton was given first nod. In fact, Wil liam B. Umstead went to Wash ington, visited with him, to as certain if he wished to be nation al committeeman. Doughton did, has made an energetic one de spite his age, and is resigning now only because of continuing ill health. Higgins, native of Sparta, is an attorney, was dis trict attorney for the federal court for many years, has rep resented the U. S. in the Orient, and is an old-warrior-type Demo crat. He should prove a worthy successor to the great Doughton. OVER JORDAN . . . You know of the Jordan family of Saxapahaw, Raleigh, Durham, and Belmont. There is the retired dentist, Dr. Henry Jordan, the man who as head of the state highway commission paved 12,000 miles of rural roads in four years. You know Everett Jordan, textile man and chairman of the N. C. Democratic executive committee. There is a brother, too, Frank, who is a Methodist minis ter in the Charlotte area. Then there is Dr. Charles E. Jordan, vice president of Duke university. Their daddy was a Methodist minister still remembered pleasantly by all who knew him. You have heard of George Coble of Coble Dairies and the South’s leading dairyman. He’s the bearcat who led all the other commission ers in building roads in 1949-53. He’s in the middle of all the milk fights. He knows how to take care of himself. He has a beautiful daughter named Georgine, a stu dent at Duke, and smarter some people saw than her father. That’s going some, too. Well, that’s about all there is to it, except we understand she and the son of Duke’s vice president are engaged, with a marriage planned for June. SO SOON? . . . Maybe the time will come when congressmen will be elected every four years and thus will have time to breath between campaigns. L. H. Foun tain, of Tarboro, who is just get ting warm the seat he took from Veteran John Kerr two years ago, is said to have opposition in the person of Herbert Bailey, also of Tarboro. Reports say Bailey has substantial amounts of mon ey to combat the liberal Foun tain. This could become an in teresting tussle. UP THE LADDER? . . . Question being asked here is why did Wil lard Cole, Pulitzer prizewinning editor of the Whiteville News Re porter, quit that post to become assistant in the North Carolina of fices of the U. S. Brewers Founda tion. Newspaper reports said last week Cole would succeed Fred Dodge, who resigned from his position with the beer people about a month ago to become executive secretary of the N. C. Launderers and Clean ers association. Dodge was assis tant to Ray Galloway, former head of the N. C. American Legion and who is director of the U. S. Brew ers operations in these parts. What are the beer people up to? Did New York, or Galloway, choost Cole? We lean to the former. We told here a few days ago how Cole has turned down within the past month at least one job which would have paid him more money than the brewers paid Dodge. Then what gives? The situation will bear watching. REVENUE . . . Know what old sudsy has meant to the state and to the counties and cities permit Mullis Is Named To Post By Olin R. E .Mullis, of Charlotte, has been named by Ramset Fasteners division of Olin Industries, Inc., as district sales manager for North Carolina, South Carolina and Ten nessee, according to Clarke Tryon, Ramset manager of sales. Mr. Mullis formerly had been sales manager for Southern States Supply Co., Inc., of Charlotte, dis tributors of electrical and construc tion supplies. He has been a lifelong resident of North Carolina. ting its sale within the past few years? Total tax take from this source in the 1952-53 fiscal year was $5,331,265.25. In the previ ous year, revenue from beer ran to only $4,642,422.64. Biggest year since the business got start ed back in 1933 was 1947-48 when the total came to $6,479,153.20. In the 20 years we have been selling and sudsing in North Carolina, taxes from brew have totaled $56,527,578.86. NOTES . . . Congratulations to Jeff Wilson of the N. C. Motor Car riers Assn, on the new publication, “Tarheel Wheels,” being put out by the truckers . . . good going, Jeff. We particularly want to com mend the N. C. Merchants associa tion and their publisher, Old Friend Orville Campbell of Colonial Press in Chapel Hill, for the tremendous yl improved appearance and read ability of “The Retailer” ...

With some dairy firms in the state losing as much as $250 per Jay in their operations, the milk situation in North Carolina daily ?rows more critical ... Ice cream n Raleigh this past week end was ?oing for as little as 59 cents per lalf-gallon. Hats off to the people planning md executing the installation of Dr. C. H. Bostian as chancellor of State college on Feb. 22. Clothed n efficient dignity, the program asted for one hour, no more.

State allege never stood higher or look ed better than when its new chan cellor was installed on Monday ifternoon, Feb. 22, 1954. Local Men Train For Boat Handling At L. Creek, Va« Four Brevard men have returned home from two weeks reserve train ing with the Seabees at Little Creek, Va. They are Eben Morrow, Coman Hamilton, Walter Cantrell and Woodrow Smallwood. These men were taught a course in boat handling at the Landing Craft Control school of the Naval Amphibious training unit. In their class were 85 men, half of whom Interesting 4 - H Programs At Glade Creek Club Meet Interesting demonstrations for both the boys and girls were given at the last regular meeting of the newly organized Glade Creek 4-H club. Bob Love, assistant county ag ent, treated soil for tomato plants. were soldiers being taught the handling of boats along with the sailors and Seabees. Several days after the meeting the soil was uncovered to see if the treatment was a success and boys expressed pleasure at seeing it was. Mr. Love also taught the boys how to cull chickens. Mrs. Ben Wright, the leader, as sisted the girls with their clothing projects. Delicious refreshments were served before the club adjourned. Milk production in North Caro lina in 1953 totaled an estimated 1.7 billion pounds, the highest an nual output on record. T. P.

He was re-enlisted as a ser geant and sent to Fort Jackson, S. C., for further processing and as signment. Sgt. Holden has seen action in the Korean war, serving with a heavy maintenance ordnance com pany making a very good record. (isn’t this why more people want—and buy— Chevrolets than any other car?)
