PAGE EIGHT ONLY 3 SEEK SPEAKERSHIP State's Lower House Race Narrows Again to Tri cornered Affair. Raleigh, Dec. 15.—The contest for the speakership of the 1931 house of representatives has again nar- rowed down to a three-cornered race between Willis Smith of Wake, Fred I. Sutton of Lenoir, and 0. B. Moss of Nash, as a result of the decision of H. G. Connor of Wilson, not to enter the race. For a time it was understood that Connor might be come a "dark horse" candidate in case neither of the three present contestants were fleeted on early ballots. But it is understood , that Connor has since written the three remaining contestants for the speak ership that he will not be a candi date, but without pledging his sup port to either of the three. According- to present indications and to popular belief in Raleigh, this leaves Willis Smith in the lead again, with Sutton second and Moss third. Smith and his friends contin ue to maintain that he already has a sufficent number of votes pledged to ensure his election on the first or anyway the second ballot. He main tains that many of the votes claim ed by both Sutton and Moss are not actually pledged to them and will turn up missing when the matter comes to a vote in the Democratic i caucus. j There is a growing sentiment a mong observers from outside of Ra leigh and Wake county, as well as among several members of the 1931 [ house that Smith is not as strong as he and his friends would have it appear and that if Smith fails to be elected on the first or second ballot that he will not be likely to be fleeted at all, with the result that the real contest will be between Sutton and Moss. In order to sub stantiate the claim that Smith is not as sure of the situation as he seems to be, it is pointed out that he has so far failed to announce the list of those who have pledged themselves to vote for him, requested some weeks ago by M. B. McDevitt, repre sentative from Madison county. This is taken to indicate that Smith's strength is not as great as he and his friends would like it to be. Anothej - thing- becoming evident with regard to the speakership is that many of the representatives fiom the rural and agricultural coun ties are becoming increasingly wary of Smith and are leaning' either to- i FULL SET OF SILVERWARE FREE With Each Permanent 1 i W a ve j This is Rogers Silverware, with Thirty-five year guarantee— the best there is—to be given with each permanent Wave from now until Christmas.

This is ap parently because Smith seems to have such strong backing from the busi ness and industrial sections of the Piedmont, which always oppose the tax relief measures proposed by th« rural counties. Still another factor that may later/ Militate against Smith and reduce his strength is the fact that apparently all those state officials who would be depriv ed of office should the "short bal lot" bill be enacted making them ap pointive instead of elective, as present, seem to be supporting and working for Smith. The state off: cials that would be affected by th "short ballot" bill are the member? of the corporation commission, Com missioner of Agriculture William A Graham, Commissioner, Frank D Grist of the department of labor an printing and Commissioner Dan C Boney of the department of insur ance. The reason most of these official are lining up back of Smith seem Jto be the assumption that Smith cat I be depended upon to look out foi' the general welfare of his father-in law, who is Chairman W. T. Lee of ; the corporation commission and use I his influence against any move to | change the form of the present com mission or the manner in which ii is constituted, so that to be consistent he would also have to oppose any move to change any of the other of fices. This would also apply to anv move to change the state banking j department or divorce it from the j control of the corporation commis j Ision. However, it is admitted that if ! Smith has these state officials and their organizations, all with numer ous state employes, working in his intei est that he already possessor one of the most potent political or ganizations any man can have. II is also understood that Chairman R. A. Doughton is most sympathetic to ward Smith's candidacy for th speakership and that he is using his powefful political influence in hi? behalf. 1 On the face of this set-up in - Smith's behalf, it is difficult for hi? t friends to see how he can fail to be 5 elected speaker and it is true that in almost any other year he would seem to be elected. ; But the friends of Sutton and Moss point out that the agricultural counties have become tired of being outmaneuvered by the big industrial counties and that this session is go ing to be one in which the rural counties are going to stand together | for tax reduction on rural and farm I property and greater state aid to the | poorer counties. But in order to get this aid, it will be necessary to elect a speaker who will be in sympathy with this movtemenj. Both Sutton and Moss are from agricultural counties and from -the eastern part i ot the state where the agricultural depression has been tlie greatest. Re- c-ent reports here are to th effect that both Sutton and Moss have re cently received considerable addition al support from a number of the [western agricultural counties. Whether Sutton and Moss can get enough additional votes to beat Smith remains to be seen. But it is evident that in case either Moss or Sutton sees he cannot make the giade, that he will throw his support to one or the other rather than to Smith. New Farm Activity For Eastern Carolina During September, October and November of the present year, farm ers in twelve eastern North Carolina counties purchased 1.900 head of beef animals largely from western North Carolina with some few com ing from Virginia and Tennessee. "This is indicative of a new enter prise in the east," says C. A. Shef field, assistant extension director at State college, who secured the facts about the location of the beef ani mals. "One of the very valuable and significant things in this movement of cattle, is that 83 were of pure bred registered stock. Of this num ber 50 were cows and the other 33 bulls. These will be used for breed ing purposes in building up herds of pure bred cattle in the east. Of the remaining 1,817 grade animals pur chased, 503 were high-type cows that will also be used for breeding pur poses. In most cases these herds of grade cows will be headed by a pure bred bull." Mr. Sheffield says the remaining 1,314 grade beef cows and steers will be fattened and sold on the market. In announcing this movement of beef cattle to eastern Carolina, Mr. THE FOREST CITY COURIER.

He tells the ex perience of One growers who paid about S4OO for seed and found that he had planted about as much dodder as he had lespedeza. He was inted ing to seed 18 acres of the land alfalfa but so thick was the dodder that he had to put the field back into cultivation.
