(Continued on Page 5) THROUGH CAPI By BESS HIN I I GOT THE JUMP?Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham got the jump on Clyde R. Hoey, the Shelby Democratic giant, in announcing his candidacy for Governor. Both hopefuls had announced that they would tell the dear public of their intentions after the General Assembly adjourned but "Sandy" Graham made it almost "immediately if not sooner", in announcing while the Legislature was marking time in order that bills might be ratified If Mr. Hoey hasn't J spoken when you read this you may ?? v,,- , Inner. expect to near uum uuu and a good political time will be had by one and all. NEW THREAT?A lot of people around Raleigh and elsewhere are hoping that they can persuade Senator Carl L. Bailey of Washington County to run for Lieutenant Governor. Already numerous candidates have been mentioned with Senator Paul D. Grady of Johnson and former Senator George McNeill as the go-getters of the campaign so far. Senator W. G. Clark may take the boys on but it is rumored along the old grapevine that he might ' withdraw if a triple-threat to n hp found. Some of the ' vaiauj ~ w wise boys think Bailey is the man. T?ie Senator from Washington has a good legislative record to lean upon if he should decide to run. UNPOPULARr-Sen. U. L.

C., indicate. According to the newspapers, the camp will go to Franklin county. A few citizens here began to stir themselves a short while ago in an effort to have one of the camps located in Warren, and as a result of these efforts the Board of County Commissioners passed resolutions requesting Congressman Kerr to use his influence in getting the camp for Warren, but from indications and remarks dropped here and there Franklin had the "camp proposition sewed-jip" before Warren citizens, with fee exception of a few, became active. Hoey Announces For Governor Raleigh, May 15.?Clyde R. Hoey of Shelby, whose oratory has been heard in every county in the state during Democratic campaigns of the past 20 'years, last night announced his candidacy for gover nor. Congressman John H. Kerr arrived yesterday to spend several days at Warrenton. Mrs. B. R. Palmer spent Wednesday in Richmond. Mr. and Mrs. William Duke Jones spent the week end at Belhaven. TAL KEYHOLES TON SILVER taxes for your roads. Senator Spence said upon all occasions that he believed that such money should be spent on roads and not for other purposes. But the Moore County lawmaker was overruled by the General Assembly which decided to take $1,800,000 each year of the next biennium out of the motorists pocket to pay general expenses of the State. Governor Ehringhaus was of the same opinion as Senator Spence but not enough of the boys were willing to listen. Watch your step two years from now. BIG FIGHT?The school book publishers of the schools of the State didn't like the idea of this book rental system but Governor Ehringhaus and his friends were determinded that such a measure should be enacted into law in order that each child in the State might have not only an eight months school but books with which to carry on the studies. The proposal brought on major legislative battles but finally became law and now you can vet. school books for your youngs o ~ - ters at much less cost. BEE IS BUZZING?The gubernatorial bug is reported to have bitten Senator John T. Burrus, High Point doctor, but many of the political wise-acres do not believe he will run next spring.

Howard, Government Agent LOANS AVERAGE $85.00 Checks aggregating around $96,000 have been received from the government for those making application for seed loans to carry on farming operations this year. J. C. Howard, who is in charge of the loan office here as well as in several other counties in this district, said that 1134 applications, averaging around $85 each, had been sent in from Warren county and that most of these loans had been approved. As the checks reach here they are recorded in the office of the Clerk of Court before being mailed out to their owners. Farmers are still applying for the seed loans but the applicants are not swamping Mr. Howard's office as they did when Congress first appropriated this money and application blanks became available here. The first two weeks that the office was open farmers were recived from only two townships a day; however, the rush has abated and applicants are now being received from all sections of the county at any time the office is open. Welfare Officer Expresses Thanks By LUCY I. LEACH, Welfare Officer Those interested in the relief work greatly appreciate the cooperation received in the recent drive the Welfare Departmnt put on for funds. This money was practically all spent for food, medicine and garden seed. Since the E. R. A. is only helping employable cases the unemployables have been turned back on the county and in many instances these people have been put on outside aid and only given $2.00 a month. Since so many have been turned back the Commissioners find it imnnssible to do more for them. When any one on outside aid is old and sick he or she has to get help from some other source else they suffer. I consider these unfortunate people a responsibility of the citizens of Warren county. We are asking every organization and citizen who has made no contribution to our Charity Chest to do so at once. We spent from our Charity Chest during the month of April $77.82 and had only $24.19 contributed. Methodist To Have Revival Services I Revival services will begin at the Methodist church, Warren ton, on Sunday morning at 11 o'clock with a sermon by the pastor, Rev. O. I. Hinson.
