Feb. 1>.—Recent bandying of statements and counter-state ments dI and concerning the attitude of Dr. Ralph W. McDonald with re gard to the current mad scramble for Governor or North Carolina has raised the very serious question of whether ur not there is. in fact, such a thing in North Carolina as "the McDonald organization?" Evidently the man who pressed Clyde Hoey so closely in 193U thinks there is. because lie >aid n i re cent statement that Paul Grady of Kenlv is "not the candidate of the McDonald organization*'. A lot of politicians, however, have thought they had closely knit or ganizations which would faction at their beck and call only to wake up on a fine morning and (ind that, like the grey geese of Mother Goose lame "some flew east, some flew west and some flew over the cuc koo's nest". There are some indications that a similar dispersion has overtaken the "McDonald organizali m" despite its leader's insistence that lie and his chieftains are ol one accord in support of J. M. Broughton, Ra leigh attorney. So far the really powerful Mc Donald lieutenants have done an excellent job of keeping their mouths shut. Itimous Valentine of Nash.

Here are two factors tending to reduce the total vote quite drastically. On the other hand there will be plenty of gubernatorial candidates, all working hard to get out the vote.

"I'm so near breaking the tape at i the finish line that it's too late for ; any 01 the others to catch up", said the Greensboro man who was chair man of the North Carolina House appropriations committee in the! 1939 General Assembly. Chief basis of the Caffey claims seemed to lie in the contention that Guilford county's big vote will be practically unitedly lined up for him this time. In previous races there have always been numerous can didates from Guilford, with a result ant split which enabled some other county to come away with the grand prize. In 1938 Judge Lewis Teague of High Point did win out in the face of an entry list ol' nearly half a dozen from Guilford, but he died before the general election and in the succeeding district committee meeting Orange county won the prize when Oscar Coffin maneu vered Carl Durham, Chapel Hill druggist, into Congress after a long ilcadioci:.

Answer: Most cases of colitis are amenable to treatment either by the use of a soft, bland diet or mineral oil at night. Colitis dependent upon nervousness is liable to run a rather long course, but most cases of co litis are due to eating rou^h and ir ritating food and can be eliminated by returning to a normal diet.
