Friday, July 31, 1931. At toe THE PILOT, a Paper With Character. Aberdeen. North Carolina By M. R. Dunnagan, The Pilot’s Raleigh Correspondent I,, only four of the 11 elective State offices to be filled at the next election, ,ne constitutional and three statutory, there beeoi no talk of candidates to oppose the incumbents, and predic tion is made that not all' of the four, pos.<ibly none of them, will have oppo sition. All of the other seven, in the present light, will have to enter the primary. Captain Nathan O’Berry, State ‘j'rea?in*er, if he stands for re-elec tion is not expected to be opposed. He has the support of all .elements and no candidate could hope to make head- ^vay against him. If he should decide not to seek the office again, it would ]et doNvn the bars to a flock of candi dates. Xor is there likely to be opposition 10 Dan C. Boney, Insurance Commis sioner. His record of ability ^ and effi- •’iency for about four years now is expected to bear the closest scrutiny. And it is not likely that Dr. A. T. Al ien will be opposed as State Superin- lendent of Public Instruction. So far there has been no intimation of a contender. These two officials appear safe from opposition. In fact, there was not the slightest suggestion of an attack on either in the recent leg islative session which started attacks on all other elective officers with the “short ballot.” They alone appear ed immune. Just what will happen to Stanley ■\Vinborne, whT comes up for election for the six-year term as member of he CoiT)oration Commission, is prob lematical. Mr. Winborne is a Gard ner appointee, although he was placed in position in the fight on the Bank ing Division as opposing his chief. He sided with the other two members in attempting to keep this division with the commission, whereas. Governor Gardner was fighting for a separate banking department. Whether this fight has alienated the Gardner sup port remains to be seen. ♦ « 4c But the other three officers who, it is assumed, will seek to retain their offices, are expected to have to fight for them. The latest intimation is that Chester 0. Bell, assistant superin tendent and auditor at State’s Prison, will oppose State Auditor Baxter Dur ham. Mr. Bell was formerly auditor »f Moore county. He is an active American Legion member and will Special Low Round Trip Fares August 7th, 1931 ABERDEEN No. Days TO Tickets Limited Atlanta -5 $ 8.25 Chattanooga 6 10.25 Birmingham 6 10.25 New Orleans 10 23.25 •savannah -7 8.50 Jacksonville - - -—8 12.50 Tampa 12 20.00 Miami ...12 ,22.50 Havana - 19 47.25 Rates to many other Florida and Gulf Coast Points.

Hart- ness will be opposed, apparently, by Stacy Wade, former State Insurance Commissioner, with a popsibility that Robert Grady Johnson, of Pen<ler county, a cousin of Charles M. John son, Director of Local Government, may be a contender. * ♦ * It is not likely that William A. Graham, Commissioner of Agricul ture, cajn get by unopposed. He and the Gardner administration are not on the best of terms, and any respect able candidate could get support. Whether enough to unhorse the com missioner remains to ibe seen. George Watte Hill, Durham, has considered this race, but probably will not run. Laurie McEachern, Hoke county, is considering it, but is not widely known. Col. J. W. Harrelson, of the Conservation and Development De partment, took a crack at the “Methu- salated ,-and Wattsized” Department of Agriculture last week. Commission er Graham came back strong, answer ing the attack, referring to the Gard ner fight on him and mentioning the rankling episode in which he was ig nored in the naming of delegates to the industrial and agricultural con ference two years ago in Asheville, Harrelson closed up and a “hatchet- burying” incident is under way. * ♦ ♦ A flock of candidates will be after the new J)epartment of Labor job. Tom P. Jimison, Charlotte, colorful preacher turned lawyer and expo nent of labor, has announced. Major A. L. Fletcher, deputy Insurance Com missioner, has said he expects to an nounce. It begins to look a little more like J .Dewey Dorsett, member of the Industrial Commission, may get into that race, or it may be that Thad Eure, clerk of the recent House of Represenattives, will enter the con test. R. R. Lawrence, president of the State Federation of Labor, is consid ering it, while Mrs. John L. Scott, Greensboro, daughter of the late Dr. Charles D. Mclver, has been mention ed. iti Hi Ht Some political writers, maybe in- spired, eliminate all of the guberna- 1 torial prospects except Attorney Gen- I eral Dennis G. Brummitt and Lieu- | tenant Governor Richard T. Fountain. ! The eliminated prospects are J. C. B. Ehringhaus, Albert L. Cox, A. J. Max well, Willis Smith and Josephus Dan iels. At this time and from this point of view, a Maxwell-Fountain finish fight appears more promising. Even though Senator Cameron Morrison and Mr. Maxwell once disregarded very cordially, it is stated that Mr. Maxwell more nearly represents the Morrison thought that any of the other prospects—and no candidate would sneeze at the Morrisonian sup port. * ♦ * Thomas C. (Tam) Bowie, on his way from the lawyers’ to the legion convention to touch further the sen- | atorial sea with his toes, authorizes the statement that the water’s fine, even if he could decide not to take the plunge. A. L. Brooks, Greensboro, Democratic keynoter, is pictured as having a desire to oppose Morrison. Neither of these, nor Robert R. Rey nolds has decided, nor will Clyde R. Hoey relieve the strain by saying something. Fraaik D. Grist, only an nounced contender for the Morrison senatorial toga, expressed confidence. * ♦ ♦ North Carolina, at the present rate, will soon be building all school houses and will even take over school | building outstanding 'bonds, J.

H. Stutts H. D. Vail R. S. Tufts Walker Taylor A. P. Thompson J. F. Taylor I THE NEW LAW Definitely imposes responsibility upon the owner of an automobile or truck lor the payment of legal claims for personal injury or damage to property caused by the car whether he or some one else be operating it at the time of the accident and provides a penalty for failure to do so. Insurance is the simplest, easiest and most econ omical means of being relieved of that responsibility. Let us tell you why. MID-SOUTH INSURANCE AGENCY L. L. Gardner, Manager § Pinehurst, N. C. S Because she was injured on the highway between Pinehurst and Pine- bluff while on her way home from Pinehurst for lunch, Mrs. Florence DeLoria brought a claim against her employer, F. * R. Razook, Pinehurst merchant, for damages under the Em ployees’ Liability Act. The case came up in Carthage before Matt H. Allen, chairman of the Industrial Commis sion recently, but Mrs. DeLoria fail ed to put in an appearance. The de fendant appeared through its insur ance agent ,the Alliance Casualty Company, represented by Attorney U. L. Spence of Carthage, and moved that the case be dismissed. The Commissioner, upon examina tion of the record, found that the no tice of accident filed with the Indus trial Commission by the claimant set forth that she was injured on the public highway going from Pinehurst to her home in Pinebluff for the pur pose of returning to the store after getting dinner, wliich statements, if true, would relieve the employer and its insurance carrier from liability. Upon motion of Mr. Spence it was ordered that this claim be dismissed, and that an award be issued deny ing compensation. It was furthered ordered that in the event the claim ant shall offer a valid excuse for her failure to appear this case may be re-opened, if, in the opinion of the commission the facts shall justify it. For the week ending July 11 the State Board of Health received re ports of 47 cases of typhoid fever. Dr. John D. Kerr, health officer of Samp son county, has reported 14 cases in that county for the year so far. Dr. C. C. Massey, health officer of John ston county, has reported a total this year of eight cases in his county. In the reports for the week just men tioned eight cases were reported from Beaufort county alone. These facts are simply mentioned to illustrate again the necessity for constant vigilance against the spread of typhoid fever, says Dr. J. Syming ton, county health officer. No section of the state is exempt at any time. No age, race, sex, or color can be consid ered immune to typhoid, unless indiv idual protection has been secured through protective vaccination or through the very dangerous exper ience of having an attack of the di sease, and even this may not give immunity for life. No one can be pos itively assured of protection against a typhoid carrier except through a recent vaccination. Typhoid is easily I transmitted by a carrier or a person ' ill of the disease through contamina- j tion of water, milk, or other varie- I ties of food. Flies also carry typhoid. Every precaution possible should be exercised at all times against con- tracting the disease, but more espec ially during the summer months. North Carolina’s record' for 1930, as | has been pointed out before, was the ^ best the state has ever experienced; i that is, there were fewer deaths re- ; ported than ever before in the state, it will take special efforts to lower : the record of last year, and unless these special efforts are put forth, 1931 may record an increase in the number of deaths over 1930. Such a state of affairs would be a calamity. ' During last week one new case of typhoid has been reported by Dr. Me- | Duffie as occuring in Hemp, and one ' little child, now recovering, came into | the county from Pennsylvania suffer- I ing from typhoid. Screening of doors I and windows are a protection against flies All milk should be boiled before being used and unless the water is from the town supply which is well looked after or from closed in well with a pump in it all water should be boiled before using. “Play safe and be vaccinated Court House News Real Estate Transfers The following transfers of real es tate have been recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds of Moore county: Edgar Brewer by G.

That fine old forest of long leaf pine trees just over the summit out the Connec ticut avenue way is worth a million dollars in its effect of adding to the enjoyment of the Sandhills country. It would be worth a few hundred dollars sold into pine lum ber from a sawmill. A pine tree is not worth enough for money in lumber to justify cutting it and slaughtering the magnificent forests that are the adjunct of Sandhills homes. • The round lines of Weymouth are a heritage of the gods.
