By M. R. Dunnagan, The Pilot’s Raleigh Correspondent
As the smoke of the 1930 political
battle clears away, the stage, all set
for 1932, appears, and the 1936 con
tests in the offing. Included in the
1932 contests will be those for the
U S. Senate, the Governorship, his
lieutenant, the attorney general, and
ethers, while the 1936 governship
race is beginning to take form.
Senator Lee S. Overman has ar.-
noiinced his candidacy to succeed him
self. Fonner Governor Cameron Mor
rison has announced his opposition.
Robert R. Reynolds, Asheville, and
Frank D. Grist, commissioner of la
bor and printing, have given intima
tion of possible candidates. Clyde R.
Hoey, Shellrj^ mentioned frequently,
lias said nothing. Governor Morri
son’s friends doubt if Senator Over
man will finally run, but think their
candidate would have no trouble in
defeating on the “new and younger
blood” idea. Former Governor A. W.
McLean, it is generally understood,
will support the only other member
of the N. C. ex-Governor Club, despite
splits in the past. Other supporters
of Senator Simmons in the June pri
mary may or may no-t follow Gov
ernor McLean. If Mr. Hoey should
enter the race, which many doubt,
he would cause trouble, plenty of it.
While the 1932 Governor’s race may
be said to be in status quo, things are
heading for the 1936 race. Thomas C.
(Tam) Bowie, Jefferson, while not
inclined to go by the Attorney Gener
al office route, will, under normal con
ditions, be a gubernatorial
candidate in 1936. A. H. (Sandy)
Graham, Hillsboro, is expected to
keep his contacts and friends by run
ning for Lieutenant Governor in 1932,
with an idea of stepping up into the
Governor’s chair in 1936. Judge Thom
as L. Johnson, now of Asheville, re
tired from the 1932 race with the ap
parent purpose of entering the 1936
contest.
D. F. Giles, Marion and W. F. Wood,
fds-o of Marion, are prospects for the
Lieutenant Governor’s race with Mr.
Graham. With Mr. Bowie definitely
.'ijt, the prospects for the 1932 Attor
ney General race include I. M. Bailey,
attorney for the N. C. Corporation
Animission; Charles Rose, attorney
the N. C. Highway Commission,
and Kenneth C. Royall, Goldsboro. ,
Doubt that Mr. Royall will run and in- |
timation that another unnamed candi- |
date will enter this race are being ex- |
pressed. All of these contests have in- j
te’esting possibilities. |

First steps toward organized relief
and coping with unemployment in the
state will be undertaken this week,
following the meeting on Tuesday of
Governor Gardner’s Council on Un
employment and Relief in North Car
olina with Frank Bane, Washington,
representing President Hoover’s Com
mittee on Unemployment, in the Rev
enue building at Raleigh.
M. Eugene Newsom, Durham, for
mer president of Rotary International,
is chairman of the committee, with
Mrs. W. T. Bost, commissioner of pub
lic welfare, as vice-chairman, with 13
other citizens, men and women, lead
ers in civic, labor, industrial, publish
ing and other fields, as members.
“Immediaete organization to meet
the many grave issues arising out of
this problem appears to me absolute
ly imperative at this time and is, of
course, in conformity with the Presi
dent’s plans in this connection,” Gov
ernor Gardner wrote the members
named on the committee, urging them
“to cooperate to the fullest degree in
this effort to work out a program in
cooperation with the Labor and Wel
fare Departments, which will assist in
organizing the State for the relief of
the distress in which large numbers
of our people now find themselves.”

State Superintendent of Education
A. T. Allen states that conditions ap
pear favorable for a reduction at this
time in the prices of textbooks, due to
economic conditions, with a resultant
saving to the school patrons, if a
change should be made. However, l)e
said, the board will scrutinize prices
carefully and if no saving can be made,
the present books may be continued.

Even though 11.7 per cent of the
banks and 19 p«r cent of the branches
in the State banking system in North
Carolina, involving 13.22 per cent of
the total capital stock, have closed
their doors since January 1, only 7.8
per cent of the deposits and slightly
more than 8 p^r cent of the total re
sources in the system are involved in
the banks that are still closed, ac
cording to figures compiled from
records in the office of the State
Banking Department.
This means that 92.2 per cent of
the deposits and 92 per cent of the
resources in the State banking sys
tem remain intact and untouched by

the 34 banks and nine branches which
closed and did not reopen, seven banks
and five branches closed having re
opened and continued business.
The 350 banks and 74 branches op
erating in the State January 1,1930,
had total deposits of $113,595,202
and total resources of $341,750,896 on
that date, while only $8,853,898 in
deposits, subject to check, and only
$27,606,892 in total resources were in
volved in the bank failures during the
year, including the 13 banks, led by
the Central Bank & Trust Co., Ashe
ville, which closed last week. The bulk
of the State bank money is still in
tact.

The Advisory Budget Commission,
composed of chairmen of the finance
and appropriations committees of
House and Senate and two additional
citizens, with Governor Gardner as
chairman, is this week going over the
requests for maintenance and perma
nent improvements asked by the
State’s departments, institutions and
agencies, which will be presented to |
the 1931 General Assembly, after the
commissions pares and cuts them
down in many places, probably all.
The requests total approximately
$73,000,000 for the next two years, of
which includes highway funds of $17,-
563,365 for maintenance and $5,896,-
122 for road construction, and $544,-
157 for 1931-31 and $546,582 for
1932-33 for the Department of Agri
culture, both of which funds come
from special taxes raised by the de
partments.

Of the 32 counties which had Re
publican administration during tftie
past two years, between 20 and 25
are now manned by Democrats, leav
ing less than a dozen with all or a
predominating part of the county ad
ministrations in the hands of Repub
licans, as a result of the changes
made Monday, following the election |
last month. While only six of the 100 i
counties have Republican representa-1
tives in the Legislature, some of;
those electing Democrats as represen- j
tatives, did not change parties in |
county administration. j
CARTHAGE
Mrs. H. A. Gunter, representing the
Moore County Red Cross Association,
as Branch Chairman of this District,
wishes to express her thanks and ap
predation for the splendid coopera
tion and helpful aid extended the
Red Cross workers in their recent
Red Cross Drive, and especially The
Pilot and the merchants of the town
for their generous help in advertis
ing for them. The sum of $133.00 was
collected from Aberdeen alone, and
much of this was due to the willing
ness of the workers and the kindly
coopej-ation expressed by all these
with whom they camie in contact.

“I do not care to sell my location on
the ridge at the present time,” wrote a
man who had been asked to make a price
on a holding that is in the midst of the de
velopment in the Weymouth section.
Another wrote, “The price you offer
is a handsome advance on what I paid for
the location, but the piece is not on the
market.”
You don’t see many buyers of any
thing on Weymouth offering their prop
erty for sale. Significant, isn’t it?
To secure a location on Weymouth
make a selection in the original tract, and
do it before some one else gets what you
would like.

"We invade a new field with vastly
improved cars at the lowest prices in our history"
BY WILLIAM J. McANEENY
President, Hudson Motor Car Company
We have buiit th^ models up to and beyond the 1931
standards of performance and quality in every way, and
have never in our history offered so many improvements.
Quality is greater down to the last detaiL Every phase of
performance has been greatly improved, and the luxury we
have built into the cars is substantially greater than ever
before. Motors are larger and more powerful An efficient
system of oil cooling is introduced. A marked improvement
in carburetion increases flexibility and economy. Bodies are
longer and wider. These cars possess the finest, easiest riding
qualities. For the first time, such comfort is available at
these low prices. Only gi^t manufacturing economies and
the fact that our large resources permit us to take the fullest
possible advantage of reduced commodity prices have en
abled us to offer the public the greatest combination of qual
ity and low prices in our entire history.

Owner-management enables Hudson-
Essex to give you outstanding ad
vantages in quality and price. The
men who are now guiding its d^dnies
have been with the company since its
inception twenty-two years ago. Its
department heads and principal dis
tributors are its controlling owners.
Their independence is backed by un
usually large resources in capital and
l^ant facilities. It enables Hudson-
Essex to lead in design and engineer-
jfig quality. It permits economies in
manufacture and distribution that
bring exertional quality direct to the
public at distinct price advantages.
