"I intend to take the oath of of fice just as quick as I can, Mt. Morrison said. Gov. Gardner announced his de cision to Mr. Morrison and the piesft at the home of Walter H. Woodson here, where he and Mrs. Gardner are spending the week-end, shortly after the interment of Senator Over man. With others of the State's of ficialdom, the Governor and Mi. Morrison had come to attend the last rites for North Carolina s junioi Senator. The self-sacrifice, the delicacy of j former Congressman Clyde R. Hoey, Governor Gardner's brother-in-law, to whom he is bound as well by deep affection, close political association and lifelong companionship, cleared the way for Morrison's appointment. Was In Quandary. The admitted it Sat urday afternoon —was in a quandary. "If Clyde Hoey had wanted to go to the Senate," he said, "I would have appointed him even though [ had to resign." Mr. Hoey didn't. Governor Gardner read this telegram from him: "I am not a candidate for appoint ment to the Senate and do not wish you to consider me in connection with the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Overman." This decided Governor Gardner, Cameron Morrison, he said, was re garded by the public as a candidate when Overman's term expired. His decision was made immediately. Explaining the immediateness o-* his appointment, Governor Gardner said he thought that "since the Sen ate is in session, it is essential that North Carolina be represented." Confirms Wisdom. The emergency arising out of Over man's death, he commented, "con firms the wisdom of the last Gen eral Assembly's action" in empow ering the Governor to fill vacanci •? by appointment. "Otherwise," he continued, "there would be the pri mary and election to go through wit.l, and the State would be deprived for this term of the services of one Sen ator. Of Morrison, Mr. Gardner said, "I felt there was in North Carolina no man more devoted to the State. His loyalty to the party in this pres ent period has been fine and genu- "He had wide support. A great many people thought that he pos essed the knowledge of his State, and of national and international problems to make a fine Senator." Mrs. Gardner, having the first word, broke the news to Mr. Morri son that he had been chosen. The Governor chuckled over that. "I never saw a man so impressed." he said. Attitude On McNinch. Mr. Gardner said he did not know- Morrison's position in regard to the nomination of Frank R. McNinch, Charlotte lawyer, to be a member of the Federal Power Commission. Hoover's choice of McNinch, who de serted Democratic ranks to lead the North Carolina fight against A 1 Smith in 1928, drew fire from State Demo cratic leaders including Governor THE FOREST CITY COURIER* FOREST CITY, N. C. • Gardner, and was attacked in the i j Senate committee where McNinch's ' expenditures and the possibility of ; his connection with "power trusts'! ! were scrutinized. ! The appointee himself was equivo- j cal. ' "I hold Mr. McNinch personally in j . high regard," he said. He preferred > not to commit himself "just now" as \ , to whether he would favor his con-1 firmation in the Senate. ; The Governor was franker he has spoken before anent Mr. Mc , Ninch. ! "I like him personally too," he said. "As to whether he as a Demo ' crat there may be some doubt." He i found a smile in that, and also in the prospect that Senator Simmons, North Carolina's senior senator with i whom Morrison split over the Smith | question in 1928, would present him ] to the Senate. Morrison himself was j elated, frankly so, over his appoint i ment. Photographers had snapped i pictures of him, alone, with Mrs. j Morrison, and with the Governor. : "I should have had a new suit," he laughed. "But maybe that wouldn't do —too slick. "I'm going to Washington as quick as I get the papers," he said. 'Best Sport In World.' Harking back to his defeat of Gardner in 1920, Morrison declared "he's the best sport in the world." "And Clyde Hoey"—words fail ed him. "Telephone him? I'm going up to see him." As Morrison left the Woodson home j j for Charlotte, the two shook hands j i . 1 i again. ' "Goodbye, Governor," said Morri son. "Goodbye, Senator," said Gardner. Gardner himself referred to that bitterly contested campaign in 1920. "I am not one to bear political malice toward any one," he said. "Mr. Morrison has supported my ad ministration to the fullest." Governor Gardner indicated he would at once forward Mr. Morri son's commission as Senator to the clerk of the Senate. The appointee expected to send to Raleigh Monday for his papers and leave as soon as possible for Washington. NOVEMBER. The leaves are fading and falling, The winds are rough and wild, The birds have ceased their calling But let me tell you my friends: Though day by day as it closes, Both darker and older grow. The roots of the bright red roses Will keep alive in the snow. And when the winter is over, The boughs will get new leaves, And quail come back to the clover. And the swallow back to the caves. There must be rough cold weather And winds and rains so wild; Not all good things together Come to us here my friends. So when some dear joy loses Its beautous summer glow, Think how the roots of the roses Are kept alive in the snow. —NAOMI RHODES. REAL FRIENDS. Do we realize from beginning to the end Just what it means to have a real true friend? Do we have one on which we can rely, Matters not what maybe the reply 9 Are they one who "loveth at all times" Between the dark spaces and lines? Are they really kind and true friends, If a deed they should be asked to do? Are they sympathetic and really wise' In a joyous or sad surprise? In trouble and in sorrow, Will they be with you today and to morrow? Then if we should have this kind of true friend, We should be the kind that isn't easy to offend; We could really take a decent joke, For we can easily give an apology, Without angry words, "Oh gee," For in our minds we plainly see That real true friends will always be. As I sit so lonely and sad all alone, And the birds are singing so gay, In the tree tops and on the bough, I always think of you friends. ■ And I wonder dear if you ever take time. To stop and think of me; I hope if you haven't in the past you will in the future, For I always think of all my real friends. —NAOMI RHODES.
