Farmers came to town today to file hail insurance claims as a re sult of Sunday’s storm that struck in the northwest and due north sec tions of the county. The farms of Haywood Bailey, K. A. Gillis, P. H. Woody and Hal Mel ton are among those hardest hit. Reports of damage from hail came from Bethel Hill, Olive Hill and Woodsdale communities. w About a week ago hail struck in almost the same vicinities and much destruction was reported.* ~ ' HENDERSON, (N. 0.) DAILY DISPATCH TUESDAY, JUNE 20, 1939 Tom Cooper Is Candidate For Governor Daily Dispatch liureau, In the Sir Waiter Hotel. Raleigh, June 20.—Wilmington’s Mayor Thomas E. Cooper need nev er announce verbally for Governor — he’s already running full tilt and without even pretense of denial or of keeping the fact in any sort of doubt. This week, for instance, he is sche doled to visit Charlotte*on a frankly admitted political fence building mission, according to news dispatch es from the Mecklenburg capital. Coming on top of the publicity blurb given him the other day in the Raleigh News and Observer, with picture and everything, Tom might just as well shout it out from the house tops Reaction to the Raleigh publicity, however, was decidedly unfavor able to Tom. In this heck of the woods it appears practically the unanimous opinion that the ener getic Mr. Cooper might just as well stay home thereby saving himself effort and his supporters money, if his stand on the sales ta.x was cor rectly stated by the Raleigh paper. The News and Observer’s story said that “friends” of Cooper indicat ed that Tom would soft-pedal the sales tax issue, with a wishy-washy promise that he'd reduce the levy “half a percent” at each legislative session of his administration. Inasmuch as it is everywhere con ceded that Cooper’s only chance to win is on what former Senator Joe Bailey of Texas once described as a “platform of straight-out hell and damnation,” this puny straddle is viewed as dooming him from the very start. This, of course, on fne assumption that the N and O’s story (which has drawn no denial from Cooper) correctly describes his stand —or rather lack of stand on the sales tax. The Anti-Sales Taxers nave pro mised a thorough-going opponent to the tax will be in the race; and if Tom isn’t “it”, he might just as well not start, in the opoinion of almost all Raleigh observers. Marriage Law Cut Weddings by One-Half (Continued From Page One) more than 50 per cent, and there it was above 45 per cent. In practically every case the new law seems to be thoroughly unsat isfactory* to the Register of Deeds, the sole good word for the new sta tute coming from Brunswick’s Ru dolph I. Mintz who rather chuckles because, as he says, “the new law has saved us the annoyance of ap plicants for marriage license Sat urday nights and Sundays.” In this county, however, “We have always done a light business on ac count of the convenience of Conway and Marion, S. C.” He adds that “no couples have filed certificates since the new law went into effect who have been mar ried in South Carolina. We think we know of two couples who have married in South Carolina—un doubtedly there have been a num ber that we have not heard about.” From Wayne, the story is that “the new marriage laws were still being given credit for the slump in the marriage mart.” L. TI. Phillips, Catawba register of deeds is of the opinion that many couples are marrying outside the State and are failing to file the re quired certificates upon their return to this state. He reported that only four or five couples have filed out of-state marriage certificates since the law went into effect in April. Advocates of the new law de clare that it has proved its effec tiveness by reducing the number of marriages. This, they contend, pro ves the need for provisions denying tne right to wed to those unable to obtain clearance after submitting to the blood tests prescribed in the statute Registers of deeds, however, con tend in most cases that the new Taw hasn t accomplished any such good results. They maintain it has sim ply sent couples across state lines or their licenses and made law vio lators of them because they have not submitted to the examinations required after returning to North Carolina. U. S. Protests Jap Bombings of Property (Continued From Page One) was discharged for if the board can tmd there was a union activity whether there was a wrong or a right activity,” Gall testified betore the Senate Labor Committee. The Senate Commerce committee recommended Senat* passage of a bill authorizing $407,855,600 of riv ers and harbors projects, $324,007,- 500 more than the House approved recently. Chairman Bailey, (D., N. C.) told reporters he heard v'nly a couple of noes’ in the voice vote by which the committee sent the message to the Senate. McDonald Is Speaker For N. C. Merchants (Continued From Page One) 1937-38. “This., while the total load of taxa tion in North Carolina exclusive of social security and other taxes for ‘new fangled New Deal’ purposes has increased approximately $9,000,000 a year, the total expended for the pub lic schools has actually declined sl,- 500,000:” McDonald said he found five trends to classify as favorable, including the shift of tax burden from local units to the State, so that in 1937-38 the State levied 64 1-2 per cent of the total, or about $68,600,000, com pared with 33.2 per cent of the 1928- 29 total, or about $32,700,000.
