THE PILOT, a Paper With Character, Aberdeen, North Carolina
Pajsre Three
At the
;apital
By M. R. Dunnagan, The Pilot’s Raleigh Correspondent
P,olitioal comjnent for several days
’■■a- centered largely around the an-
]i uncement of J. C. B. Ehringhaus,
T'lizabeth City, for the governorship,
;.'id his “confessi,on of faith” which
r 11,. wed last week, close upon the
Is of the announcement of Lieuten-
u Governor R. T. Fountain.
\\ ith two candidates definitely in
‘le field, the question arises now as

' tfy what and when the others will do.
' It begins to look as if there^ will be
I four candidates certainly, possibly six,
befoTe filing time expires, even
though much can happen in the nearly
10 months until the June primary.
Att,orney General Brummitt, -his
friends say, is expected to announce
his candidacy soon, although he has
made no definite statement. Commis
sioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell, it
may be definitely said, intends now
t,o enter the race, but his announce
ment may be some weeks in coming.
It is known that Willie Smith, speak
er of the House, is still giving ser
ious consideraton to entemg the race.
Josephus Daniels, Raleigh publisher,
is als,o considered as a prospect, al
though at present^ in the background.

, The Ehringhaus statement has
been provocative of much comment,
much of it favorable, some critical.
He stands on the Dem,ocratic record,
legislative and judicial, admitting it
falls short 01* overreaches in some re
spects his own desires. He calls for
a balanced budget, strict but sane
economy, no new departments, but
consolidations and eliminations where
practicable, careful conservation of
the State’s credit, the shoTt ballot if
the people want it, immediate reval
uation of property, equity in taxa
tion, ,opposes sales and luxury taxes,
classification of and partial relief

The SOHNER on
Weymtnth Heights
I It has been a magnificient summer
to bring out all the advantages of Wey
mouth Heights.
No late spring frosts to hold back veg
etation. Plenty of rain all summer to stim- ^
ulate growth. The lawns and the roads
and forests are at their best now.
All the natural forest growth, and all
the planted stuff have come along in the
most gratifying manner. The landscape
work about the multiplying new homes is
gratifying in its luxuriance.
From the railroad to the Bethesda
road the east side of Southern Pines this
fall is a picture.
The heart and the summit of all of it
is Weymouth Heights.
The Place for a Home in the Sandhills.

from taxation of small farm and home
oAvners, live-at-home program, new
markets f,or products, cooperation in
growing and marketing crops and de
velopment of latent resources.
These, and the statement that he
will make a vigorous canvass of the
entire state, indicate the strenuous
fight that may be expected in the
state for tw,o-thirds of a year, months
longer than usual. There is comment
on the likeness of the Ehringhaus
platform to the Maxwell stand, their
views coinciding on most imp,ortant
issues. Willis Smith apparently sees
conditions through similar eyes. There
is a divergence in the Brummitt views,
as far as announced, in that he is
favorable toward a luxury tax, if
needed, as a supplemental, not a sub
stitute tax, but he ,opposes a gener
al sales tax.
Like Fountain, Brummitt opposes
the short ballot. Brummitt, seeming
ly? approves the taxation measures
enacted by the General Assembly.
Fountain is critical of that body, n,ot,
he explains, for what^ it did, but for
what was proposed to it to do, and it
declined—in part, ad,option of the
short ballot. Josephus Daniels has
been critical of legislative acts, par
ticularly as they deal with taxation.
Even with the likeness in views, suf
ficient differences exist among the
candidates and prospects to make it a
hot campaign. -

In the backgiound for the moment
is the senat;orial race, but it is not
expected to remain there long. Sen
ator Cameron Morrison, back from
the Dare celebration last week, was
particularly" pleased with his find
ings.
“Why, boys, they told me I’d bet
ter watch the east. I talked with many
,of the folks down there from all sec
tions and—well, Pm feeling mighty
good about it,” he said, and showed
it. Asked if Hoey w,ould oppose him,
he said:
“If it hadn’t been for Clyde Hoey,
I would not be Senator now. He is
one of the best friends I have.” And
he declined to discuss that further.
A. L. Br.ooks, Greensboro, in Ral
eigh last week, conferred at length
with friends about entering the sen
atorial race. Mr. Brooks said for
publication that he had not decided.
Hotel lobby grpups with whom he
talked quoted him as saying he ex
pects to announce his candidacy.
Thomas C. Bowie, Frank D. Grist
and Robert R. Reynolds are the an
nounced (opponents cf Senator Mor
rison, and evidence is that all of them
are active, though quietly, a still
ness which may break into a roar at
any time. This race will not be a side
show to the gubernatorial race. In
due time it will assume the lead, ,or
many people will be asking the reas
on why.

The State of North Carolina, on

wlays. The State’s ‘bonded debt is
$177,109,000, the remaining $2,502,-
371 being in revenue anticipation
notes. General fund bonds and notes

school building b,onds to $16,085,000;

hand but obligated for several pur-

Peace is in sight in the truck tax
war this state is having with Georgia,
Kentucky and South Carolina. This
state has arrested and fined truck
drivers from the other states and re
quired them to get North Carolina li
censes, in retaliation f^or similar
action ia those states. The N. C.
Highway Commission has a,dopted a
set ef ordinances governing trucks
from ,other states and has sent
copies to the warring factions. The
ordinances are liberal einough and
are effective in other states which
grant like privileges to truck driv
ers from this state. A conference is
expected tjo be called soon, partici
pated in by officials of the various
states, in order to seek a peace de
claration.

Three weeks from next Tuesday the
loads of tobacco begin to pile into
the Aberdeen warehouses, and if one
can base a prediction on the enthu
siasm manifest in town, we’re going to
break alL- sales records this season.
Tobacco’s looking good in this sec
