There have been ;i few names offered to Governor Gardner,, .-.mono: them Sam Lattimore, i of Shelhy; Major Leonard, of Lexington; former Warder Sam1 I.J. Husbee, and former Chief Cloik T. W. Fenner, of Raleigh. Hut there lias been no campaign for any of these. Contrariwise, | ?*1 r. 1'ou is the peculiar beneficiary of nearly all of Governor Card- I Tier’s special friends. The work which Mr. Fou did for Governor Mf.rnhon and McLean entitled him t lo consideration at their hamfs. lie got it. Similarly, the tight which he made on Governor (lard- j Tier as a candidate in 1020 pro- ; pares him finely, for the usual, bouncing.

That, of course impresses Mr. Gardner. Another thing does. The governor has n mmented publicly on the hold which Mr. Fou lias on the affections of the prisoners. The Gardner philosophy is love, lie would not. put a man in the charge of prisoners who did not inspire affection. He does not say that, but it is not necessary.

There was nobody with whom the anti Smith men could head oft Old Al. The anti-Pou people have had the . aim* trouble. They probably rehod a good deal on the knowl edge that Mr. Gardner owes noth ing to Mr. Pou. Hut they find tin miadves now faced with a more difficult argument. They must meet the Pou friends who con tend that a duty to the state demands the Pou reappointment. A ,-hrew business man like Mr. Gardner will investigate that con tention. If the prison should turn out to have been managed with the success set up for it hy all the friends of Mr. Pou, Mr. Gard ner would inevitably be driven i to appointing him again. And it I looks very much as if Mr. Pou has built up a bomb proof claim. - Greensboro Daily News.

Mad Dog Killed Near Town Wed. I _ Hull Dog With Rabies Bites Several Dogs and Pigs In Sanders Chapel Section The Sarnie rs Chapel section was the scene of a mad dog scare Wednesday morning when a stray bull dog went from farm to farm biting dogs and hogs that appear ed in his pathway. The bull dog, a Large white creature, went to the home of N. B. Stevens early in the morning and bit his dog. Mr. Stevens gave pursuit but the dog outran him, going on to other farms. Two dogs belonging to Mr. Luither Watson were bitten, a pig belonging to Mr. Boone, and a pig belonging to Mr. P. B. Stevens. Several of the neighbor* report hearing dog fights during the night. The mad dog was finally shot >y Luther Watson, the dog run ting ior some little distance after he load of shat took effect. The log’s head was cut off, and Mr. -Vatson together with Mr. P. B. Stevens took it to Raleigh Wed nesday to the state laboratory. Wednesday afternoon, a phone nes sage stated that the dog’s lead showed that it had hydro iboebia. J he dog's known to have been bitten by the mad dog- have been killed, and the hogs have been shut up for observation. It is the opinion of those who have had experience with the mad dog that ull in the community should kee0 their dogs under close surveillance for a time at least.
