Page Eight RALEIGH ROUNDUP (Continued from Page 1) a good dinner has been provided, the State Democratic Party will profit thereby and therefrom. It now begins to look as if there will be a huge crowd, with many of the State’s political bigwigs on hand. The event will begin promptly at 5:30, so you should be there when festivities get under way. IN THE PAPERS W. Kerr Scott didn’t know anything about the dinner until he read about it in the papers, and neither did Mc- Lendon. Plans for it came out rather suddenly, but it seems to be something of a “must” now and it might prove to be the very thing the Democratic Party needs in North Carolina. The committee in charge of it is composed of World War II vet erans— Ferd Davis, Zebulon, chairman; John I. Barnes, Jr., Clayton: David S. Breece, Raleigh; Charlie Daniel, Raleigh; Barrie S. Davis, Zebulon; R. H. Edwards, Jr., Raleigh; and Dr. Lewis M. Mc- Kee, Durham. SIGNIFICANT lt is signifi can that the dinner will be held the evening before the chairman of the State Demorcatic Executive Committee is named the following day. That man is likely to be Ca pus Waynick. If it isn’t, some of Kerr Scott’s supporters will be to bury, for they have been mut tering in their beards ever since Scott sided with Joe Blythe for National Committeeman in Phila delphia. IN DIRE STRAITS— The Pro gressives and the Dixiecrats are giving the registrars in many; counties of the State a fit. They have them running in circles—lit erally and mentally . . . narrtes, names . . . that’s what they want on those books ... at 10 cents per name. The cost would run nearer a dollar in many cases. You find the Democratic Party flowing, in this State at least, be tween two rather swiftly moving streams the Progressives and Dixiecrats with each taking strength away from the Democrats. The Dixie boys are getting the /conservatives and the Progressives are getting the lunatic fringe. Meantime, the Republicans, hold- SATURDAY SPECIALS LAHOMA PEAS, No. 2 can 15c LADY CALVERT TEA, >/ 4 lb 23c Silver King Self-Rising Flour, 10 lbs. . 73c PALMOLIVE SOAP, bath size 13c PHILLIPS GROCERY Two Deliveries Daily Phone 2581 Wakelon Auto Service Route 4 Zebulon, N.

A native of Alabama, a resident of North Carolina via Georgia, a writer of ads for Scott in his cam. paign, a helper in the J. M. Broughton headquarters, a travel er to Philadelphia and the Nation al Democratic Convention for Mr. Broughton, and now a writer of ads for the Dixiecrats, Bob Red wine is a public relations man in Raleigh, and he takes his clients as they come. Redwine came to Raleigh as representative of Eastman Scott of Atlanta, advertising agency that handled national advertising for North Carolina. When the adver tising contract was taken from Eastman Scott, a lot of people thought that would be the last of Redwine in this State. But he de sided to hang around as a public relations agency. He won with Broughton. He won with Scott. Now he’s rendering a little ser vice for the Dixiecrats . . . purely professionally of course. P. S. Don’t be surprised if that advertising contract goes back to Eastman Scott some time next year. NOTES —Although Kerr Craige Ramsey of Rowan County is thought to have the inside track for Speaker of the House in the next Legislature, there is a move on foot for Gene Bost of Cabarrus \o handle the gavel. He’s a cousin of Charles (Cannon Mills) Can non, ardent J. M. Broughton man. Second Primary irregularities may keep one Eastern N. C. repre sentative out of the Legislature unless some sort of compromise is effected State Treasurer Chas. M. Johnson is expected to take a financial position here in Raleigh, next January, says he will support the straight Democratic ticket from Truman down. COTTON SURVEY (Continued from Page 1) and 1-3 from near the bottom of the stalks. If 10 or more of the squares examined show boll weevil punctures, then control measures should be started. “It is recommended that 10 pounds of dust per acre be applied of Benzene Hexachloride or Tox- The Zebulon Record aphene. The dust should be ap plied at intervals of 4 to 5 days until the number of punctured squares are reduced below 10 per cent. “Late in the growing season when the plant has about stopped producing squares, the adult weev ils begin to move about within the fields, from one field to an other, and from one farm to an other in search of tender, succul ent squares and young bolls on which to feed and deposit eggs. “This migration will possibly begin in this area by August 15. resist attack but it is very import ant to protect the young tender bolls from attack by heavy weevil migration. .Dust now, and continue to dust until the squares have be come bolls.” FARM PROGRESS (Continued from Page 1) ing activities.
