What is the penalty for leaving an unused well open? 3. Who was the first governor to recommend passage of laws requir ing wide tires for wagons used on State roads? 4. When was a constitutional amendment necessary to rid the Uni versity of a board of trustees? 5. What was the appropriation for the state patrol for this fis cal year? 6. What proposition was made the men who might not want to go into the battle of Kings Mountain? ANSWERS. 1. Daniel M. Barringer, of Con cord, during the Thirtieth Congress which convened in 1846. Congress men Barringer and Lincoln occupied a desk together. 2. It is a misdemeanor in North Carolina to leave a well open and the penalty is a fine subject to the descretion of the court. 3. Governor Daniel L. Russell in his report to the legislature of 1899. Several years later acts were passed which required wide tires on wagons in a number of counties. 4. The legislature of 1872-73 adopt ed an amendment which was adopt ed in a statewide election the next year. The purpose of this amendment was to rid the University of a board of trustees appointed under the re construction regime. Governor Cald well denied the validity of the amend ment and a court decision was neces sary before it became effective. 5. The total for this fiscal year, including salaries and expenses for additional patrolmen is $663,026. 6. A few days before overtaking General Ferguson on King’s Moun tain, Colonel Isaac Shelby had the different companies of militia drawn up. After explaining the dangers of the impending battle he’ told those who wished to back out could do so by marching three steps to the rear. When this order was given not a single man withdrew, but every man showed his willingness to do his pare in the coming conflict. OTHERS VIEWS TEOPLE WANT PLATFORMS To the Editor: Ever since Governor Hoey issued his deci’ee to the potential candidates for the governorship, the candidates and the voters have been speculat ing on his motives for advising the numerous aspirants to "postpone any public announcements until after Januai’y the first. A number of peo ple got the idea that the governor favored one of the splendid gentle men who had been mentioned and was doing this to give aid and com fort to his favorite. If any one or more of the candi dates has been entertaining the idea that he might receive the governor’s blessing, that idea has been knocked in the head recently, from all re ports. The governor has not pulled his punches to the candidates and their friends with whom he has dis cussed his neutrality stand on his successor. He has been strictly neu tral from the beginning, is now and will continue to maintain that at titude, unless some candidate at tacks the administration; in that event the governor would feel com pelled to defend his record and if in doing so he inadvertently stepped on the toe of one or more of the candidates it would be their hard luck. It is rumored that one of the as pirants for successor to the governor I was informed recently that he would [have to run on his own team and 'not to expect or depend on adminis tration support. Like the young man in the Bible who was advised to go sell all that he had and give it to the I poor, the candidate went away sor- I rowfully as he had great expectations iof administrative support. ! No candidate for the governorship next year will be able to make any progress without a clear and definite ! platform and program;, thu voters are in no mood to take any candidate SALLY'S SALLIES Registered U.

DAILY DISPATCH FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1939 on faith, they have been disappoint ed too many times by promising candidates with short memories. Cheap platitudes and generalities will not satisfy the demands and ex pectations of the voters next time, they want to know if the promises made during the campaign will be faithfully kept or if they are sim ply made to catch votes. The can didate who is able to convince the largest number of voters of his sin -1 cereity, will become the next gov ernor of North Carolina. The one | who tries to deceive and mislead the people will be left at the starting post. Indications all point to a very ! interesting campaign, and one al most entirely devoid of the fire works of the last one. James H. Holloway. Raleigh, Nov. 30, 1939. Jury Trials ;Are Held In County Court ! ( ! Jury trails in Recorder’s court Wednesday all day, with a distinct reversal of form, verdicts of guilty J being returned in numerous cases. Recorder R. E. Clements presided. ! Emma Murphy, Negro, was con ' victed of possessing non-tax paid whisky for sale and was given 30 | days in jail, assigned to work around ' the court house. She gave notice of ■ appeal, and bond was set at S2OO. I William Wilson was guilty of pos session non-tax! paid whisky, and prayer for judgment was continued | upon payment of the costs. ! Otis Massenburg and Ferney Fos i ter, Negroes, were charged with pos ! sessing non-tax paid whisky for sale, ! Foster was not guilty. Massenburg 1 was given four months on the roads, suspended upon payment of a fine j of $lO and costs. James Young, Negro, was not | guilty of drunken driving. | J. M. Harris, charged with reckless j driving and assault with a deadly I weapon, was not guilty, i James Murphy and Elsie Howard, ! Negroes, were charged with possess ! ing non-tax paid whisky for sale. Elsie Howard was not guilty, and a nolle pros was taken as to Murphy. In another warrant, Murphy faced the same charge, and was given 90 ! days on the roads. He appealed, and bond was set at S2OO. Robert Hayes, Negro, tried without a jury, was guilty of possessing non tax paid whisky for the purpose of sale, and was given 90 days on the roads, suspended upon payment of ihe costs and moving from the neigh borhood he now lives in to one ap ! proved by J. C. Champion, enforce ment officer. Acquilla Brown, Negro, was given 30 days for assault, and was found not guilty of reckless driving in an other warrant. At today’s session of the court, Johnnie Baker was given 30 days for being drunk, commitment not to issue if he leaves Vance county, and remains away for 12 months The costs were remitted. Paul Canady, Negro, was given four months on the roads for pos sessing non-tax paid whisky for the purpose of sale. James Southerland, Negro, was charged with trespassing, drunk and disorderly and assault. He was guilty of drunk and assault, and was given six months on the roads, commitment not to issue upon payment of $lO and i costs, and not be convicted of violat ing any criminal law in Vance county for the next two years. Phil Kingsbury, Negro, faced the I court, charged with assault, drunk, trespass and disorderly, and was found guilty of being drunk and disorderly. He drew six months on the roads, commitment not to issue upon payment of the costs, a fine ■ of $lO and not being convicted of I violating any criminal law in Vance | county for the next two years. Vandenburg Favored By Politicians (Continued From Page One) ■ orous, just as Paul V. McNutt ,on the Democratic side, is physically beauti ful. But they argue that glamour and beauty are not presidential qualifica j tions. Republican dopesters reckon that "MICKEY FINN"? they can lick a beauty more readily with a substantial, cold-boiled can didate than with a glamorous one. They’d be pretty well suited to fight beauty with a political old-timer, but they prefer not to do it with glamour as their ammunition. Some suggest that Dewey, with his glamour, might be all right as a vice presidential nominee. But he would n’t do at all in second place on a ticket with Vandenberg. Van is a Michigander. Dewey tnough now a New Yorker, also originated in the Wolverine state. It would be alto gether too much Michigan to hook the two together. Taft (Ohio) and Dewey (New York) would be quite o. k. But not Vandenberg and Dewey. Miscellaneous Candidates. The norninatorial chances of Re presentative Joseph W. Mr. tin of Massachusetts are improving. As Re publican leader in the lower congres sional chamber, Joe Martin has been extremely effective. He’s a capable statesman and he’s popular among all who know him. His drawback is that hfe isn’t quite well enough known throughout tne country yet. Senator Charles S. McNary, Repub lican leader in the upper chamber on Capitol'Hill, is talked about but says he isn’t an aspirant. No doubt the Oregonian would surrender if drafted but he probably won’t be. Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio is referred to, but Senator Taft (same state) offsets him. Pennsylvania Republicans are boosting Governor Arthur H. James but it hasn’t taken very well yet. His geography’s all to the good, and may be he is, too, but he hasn’t register ed thus far. Now and then Alf M. Landon con tinues to be hinted at for another try. So is Herbert Hoover. But they’re not considered serious ly. Senator Bridges? Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire is waging a really ener getic campaign. It’s rather pathetic. He stands no more chance of get ting that nomination than I do—and I’m not a Republican, or Democrat. Yet he has an organization. He issues “releases.” He’s got a committee. He’s a darned signt more active than other aspirants who really are “possi bilities.” He must be spending a lot of money. He s a political curiosity. Germany Says 194 Vessels Sunk so Far (Continued From Page One) ever, charging that the British Ad miralty had not published all losses, especially those along the British coast. Today’s army communique told of “feeble artillery and porting ac tivity” on the western front, and said bad weather hampered aerial reconnaissance to the extent that four flying boats were forced by the weather to alight on the North Sea. The planes were damage, but the crews were saved. Finnish Legation Held Virtually as Prisoners By Russians In Moscow (Continued From Page One) last capitalistic government of Fin land.” A statement circulated by lass, official news agency, declared that the supreme command of the red army ordered the invasion just af ter three attacks by Finnish border forces. As a result of new armed provocations”—as Tass Put it—red forces crossed the frontier at 8 a. m. yesterday (midnight Wed nesday EST) on the Karelian isth mus and at several other points. Cotton Mixed At Noon Hour New York, Dec. I.—(AP) —Cotton futures opened three to seven points higher. Around the end of the first hour prices settled back.

Slight Rally Lifts Stocks New York, Dec. 1. —(AP)—Selec- tive rallying power came into the stock market today and brought ad vances ranging from fractions to three points at the best.

The new premier is Risto Ryti, 50-year-old governor of the Bank of Finland. His foreign minister is Vaino Tanner, socialist finance min ister in the outgoing government and regarded as friendly to Russia. Helsinki, Dec. I.—(AP) —Russia’s armed forces struck against Finland with renewed fury today in opera tions extending from the Arctic Ocean to the country’s southwestern shore, adding aerial machine gun ning to their raids with explosive and incendiary bombs. New Fires in Capital. A large squadron of bombers roar ed down on Helsinki for the second i successive day, machine gunning the I capital proper and its suburbs, and! setting the city ablaze with new fires Beginning at 1:15 p. m. (6:15 a. m. EST), this raid was still in progress one hour-, forty minutes later. Finnish -reports said many of the raiders were shot down. Casualties in the city could not be estimated immediately. Fifty persons were of ficially listed as killed in yesterday’s attacks on the capital alone, and the number of dead and wounded in the provinces and in widespread new attacks today was undetermined. Friendly Government. A new government was formed to succeed that of Premier Aimo K Ca jander, which resigned early today, even though it had a vote of con fidence from an historic session of the Parliament. Its composition was not announced immediately. Pre viously Vaino Tanner, finance min ister in the resigned cabinet, and de scribed as friendly to Russia, had been expected to be named premier. (Copenhagen reports said diplo mats expected the new government would come to terms with Russia. The Finnish Legation in London, however, said there was no question of “surrender.”) The new attacks followed expira tion of an ultimatum broadcast from Moscow threatening annihilation of Helsinki unless an agreement was was reached by 3 a. m. (8 p. m. Thursday EST). Strike in Far North. Russian forces were striking today at Finland’s farthest northern out posts at points along the 800-mile eastern frontier and along the south ern seacoast around to the extreme southwest. Near the middle of this front, Soviet land forces had oc cupied territory north of Lake Ladoga, and farther south had ad vanced on the Karelian isthmus, north of Leningrad.
