Friday, November 14, 1930 At me THE PILOT, a Patepr With Character. Aberdeen. North Carolina By M. R. Dunnagan, The Pilot’s Raleigh Corresp^;^ A. H. (“Sandy”) Graham, of Hills boro, is expected to be a candidate for Lieutenant Goverfnor of North Carolina in 1932 and for Governor of North Carolina in 1936. While no definite announcement has been made in either case, it is generally understood among his friends that Mr. Graham will enter the race for Lieutenant Governor in due time, and that, such entry will have a very definite object-—that of becoming candidate for Governor four years later. Although young, only 40, Mr. Gra ham has packed a lot of experience in his limited years, particularly since he graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1912, studied law there the next year and at Harvard Law School in 1913-14. He entered the first Officers Traini^ng Camp early in 1917 and served Kiore than two years in France, rising to a cap taincy with the 81st Division. Since 1921 he has been a member of the General Assembly from Or ange county and has served as chair- have to contend with D. F. Giles, Marion, former legislator, secretary of the N. C. Railroad and, within the past year or two, becoming an attor ney-at-law. William F. Wood, also of Marion, h^ also made some sort of announcement, co)hditioned, for the lieutenant governorship. In the second race, that for the Gov ernor, Mr. Graham will doubtless contend with Judge Thomas L. John son, Asheville, formerly of Lumber-' ton, who retired from the approach ing governorship race in 1932, who has let it be known that he is looking toward that goal in 1936, and prob ably Col. Thos. L. Kirkpatrick, Char lotte, original good roads enthusiast, who has said that he will be a can didate in 1936. Other prospects are W. M. Hundren, Winston-Salem; A. L., Brooks, Greensboro, and—but that is enough for the present. ♦ ♦ ♦ The “irreducable minimum” of 13 Republicans in the North Carolina legislature, 10 representatives and three senators, achieved in 1923 Page Three man of several important committees, | through the charged gerrymandering £ preparing him for the speaker-i of senatorial districts by the late Col ship in 1929. He has served as a member of the Advisory Budget Com mission for several years and during the past two months has been Execu tive Counsel to Governor Gardner, all of which, his friends say, are ex cellent training for the position to which he is almost certain to aspire. In the first contest he will doubtless Dr. J. I.

Watts, was still further reduc ed to eight Republicans, six represen tatives and two senators, as a result of the election last week, which prov ed a landslide for the Democrats of greater proportions than the 1928 Re publican deluge. While the Democrats were v/inning more than 100 Representatives and a dozen Senators for an almost exact even number with the Republicans in the National Congress, and carrying many hitherto rock-ribbed Republi can states with the election of Dem ocratic governors and other officers. North Carolina Democrats made in roads that surprised even the most sanguine of the party leaders by electing a full Democratic delegation to Congress, electing 144 of the 150 representatives and 48 of the 50 sen ators in the State General Assembly, and reclaimed county governments in more than 20 counties. The only two Republican senators are A. T. Grant, Mocksville, veteran representative from the 24th dis trict, composed of the heretofore Re publican counties of Davie, Wilkes and Yadkin, Davie going Democratic and Wilkes naming a Democratic repre sentative this time, and Roy A. Har mon, Elk Park, from the 30th dis trict, composed of Avery, Madison, Mitchell and Yancey. The six counties having Republican representatives are Avery, Mitchell, Pamlico, Randolph, which elected half of the Democratic ticket, Sampson and Yadkin, where the Republican ma jority of 15 is being contested. Some of the counties that have been Repub lican since Civil War times swung to the Democratic column last week, and some of those remaining in the Re- REMEMBER THE INTERESTING COOKING SCHOOL Friday after noon and evening.

Shift of 29 members ^of the House of Representatives in 1929, includ- mg one Independent^ to the Demo cratic column in 1931, a part of which was unexpected, has brought about re* doubled efforts among the new Dem ocratic members on the part of ^he four candidates for the Speakership of the next House. The candidates. Willis Smith,' Raleigh; E. B. Moss, Spring Hope; Fred I. Sutton, Kin ston, and H. G. “Tobe” Connor, Wil son, are out after the new Democra^..'i. All have numbers of pledges of sup port, but it is impossible now. with the possibilities of trades and shifts, to make a safe prediction. Only eight members of the 1929 Senate will return, but several of the new members have had legislative ex perience in one or both of the houses before. Three candidates are men tioned for President Pro Tem of the Senate, to serve with the president, Lieutenant Governor R. T. Fountain, including Marvin K. Bloun^, Green ville, and Rivers D. Johnson, War saw, and H. R. Horton, Pittsboro, the latter two returning after two-year intervals. ♦ ♦ ♦ Deposits in State banks in North Carolina decreased nearly ten million dollars, $9,950,000 during the past year, or to $250,000,000 on September 24, last, as compared'^with Octo^ber 4, 1929, the report of John Mitchell, chief State bank examiner, on the 405 banks, including 84 branches, shows. Total resources of these banks de creased $27,852,000 in that period, or from $341,182,000 to $313,530,000, but in the last three months, since the call dated June 30, 1930, the resources have increased slightly, $1,469,000, the report shows. 8,387 Motorists Are Warned by Patrolmen State Police Arrested 208 Dur ing October Found 4400 With out Proper Lights State Highway Patrolmen warned 8,387 motorists of highway violations last month, making 208 of the warn ings more emphatic with arrests, ac cording to the report made public by Capt. Charles D. Farmer, in charge of the patrol. Of those arrested 48 were charged with driving while in toxicated, 14 with reckless driving, and the remaining number for pass ing on curves or hills and violations of a similar nature, and for failing to have equipment on their cars repaired after receiving warning cards from the patrol. Drivers whose cars did not have the regulation three lights led the list of offenders, 4,400 motorists of this class having repaired their lights at nearby filling stations or garages when stopped by patrolmen. Cards were issued to an additional 73, while 197 cards were issued to drivers with defective brakes or other equipment. A total of 132 cars without license plates were apprehended, 35 with im proper plates, and 60 with lost tags. Motorists required* to buy license tags befol-e continuing the use of their cars spent $1,266.12. Fines im posed on offenders totaled $2,593.15 and costs in the various cases, $1,- 48i6.53, bringing the cost to offenders to $4,079.68. Sentences totaling 32 months were also imposed.

CREAMER & TURNER, Proprietors tmniiiiiiin»»H«iHi»mttti A county Board of Education has supreme and final authority in fixing the number of teachers in count.y schools, even at a figure lower than the State schedule, the N. C. Supreme court held in dismissing the manda mus brought by Johnston county school districts to force the board to supply the scheduled number of teach ers, after a cut, due to a reduced bud- get, had been made. The action of the board in that particular was not subject to control by mandamus, the court held. A compromise had pre viously been reached by the education board and the board of county com- missioners, so the decision has no definite effect upon this much-contest ed Johnston county case. * « ♦ A State-wide eight months school term for North Carolina, the last two months of which may be suspend ed by the County Board of Education when the attendance w^ill not justify continuation, is embraced in one of the two bills drawn up by the special Educational Commission provided by the 1929 legislature and to be tub- mitted to the 1931 body through Gerv- ernor Gardner. In another bill which the commission offers in case the General Assembly is not ready to enact the eight-months bill, are in cluded provisions seeking to produce efficiency and economy, as are also ircluded in the first bill. Economy of operation is sought through consolidation of administra tive units, of school terms and ^of spending agencies, and by greater aid from the State in current operating costs. Savings are expected through suggested increases in teacher load, by abolishing the experience incle ment in teacher salaries, and in the administration of the schools. Both bills seek to eliminate further the small schools, in favor of larger units, permit the transfer of pupils across district lines within the coun ties and allow distribution of pupils to equalize the theching load. The commission in its report, finds it “in advisable at this time to create the cffice of business manager or finan cial secretary of the State Board of Education, one of tWe objects the commission was named to investigate and report on. INSURE WITH THE Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada EUGENE C. STEVENS Representative Southern Pines North Carolina DAVIDSON AND U, N. C. MEET ON GRIDIRON SATURDAY The University of North Carolina and Davidson College this Saturday renew a gridiron rivalry that has ex isted for 33 years. Twenty-eight con tests have been played during that time, with the Carolina Tar Heels, having a decided advantage over the Davidson boys. In those years, the University elevens have rolled up over four times ^as many points as David son. To he exact, Carolina has 325 points, compared to Davidson’s 75. Only four times in all those years has Davidson been able to take the measure of the Tar Heels, and four of the tilts have ended nothin-all. This 'gives Carolina a total of 20 games won. W^ith the exception of., two years, the Carolinaians bave never defeated Davidson over three touch downs. A Country Home in the Heart of the Sports THE MIDLANDS FARM ACREAGE SITES Just off the Midland Road, close to Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Knollwood Heights, and everything these centers offer. Tracts of such size as you like, located as you prefer, on knobs that give you a pleasing picture as your outlook in all directions, and at prices that fit with the present times. Think about acreage prices—When James Tufts bought the site of Pinehurst at $5,000 for 5,000 acres it was because no one else at that time cared for that ground. Since that time much more money has been paid thtere for a single acre than he paid for the whole 5,00 acres. It is l^cause more people want the land now, and"because so much of it has been taken from the market. EVERY YEAR MORE SANDHILL LAND IS TAKEN FROM THE AVAILABLE MARKET Within tfiie last year or so some five or six thousand acres within a few miles of these acreage sites have been taken from the market by half a dozen "big men. That can’t be done very many times without land prices going soaring. Now is the time to buy your acreage locations and get it at low figure. Midlands Farms offer the pick of locations in the right place. | For information confer with any accredited Real Estate agent in Pinehurst or Southern Pines, or with— i THE REAL ESTATE SECTION AT THE GENERAL OFFICES, PINEHURST, N.
