Picking the Next Governor With littk> else to do just now, the scribe.-, are crowding in every now and then a column or so about some man who has been casually mentioned as a candidate for the North Caro lina governorship. Quite a few have been men tioned, to be sure, but the pulse of the people in the backwoods indicate there are some ex ceptionally poor guessers No one seems to have mentioned Harry Mc Mullan, the Washington man who is now the State's attorney general. Some say Mr. McMul lan will be in the race if Congressman Lindsay Warren is not a. candidate. Mr. Warren says he is not considering a try for governor, but there is no telling what one will do if the indications about a year from now point to a Republican landslide in the nation. Mr. Warren has his sear in the House this term and possibly for many terms to come, as for that matter, but Repub lican company in Washington is not so "hot" and it is possible he will consider seeking shel ter in a Democratic country about a year from now. Once Mr. Warren has definitely made up his mind to continue in Washington, some say Mr McMullan will toss his hat into the ring And he'll g^t a heap of votes in this section of the country. But there are many conditional "ifs" hang ing over the field of possible candidates. There is Dick Fountain .defeated before, to be sure, but there is some talk of absenting the absen tee ballot and that surely will be in the Rocky Mount man's favor. Had it not been for the ab sentee ballot. State and possibly national poli tics would have been of a slightly different col or in years not so long gone. If the absentee ballot goes, then look out for Dick. Josh Home, Rocky Mount newspaperman, has had his name mentioned, but not with any great frequency. Then there are Lieutenant-Governor W. P. Horton, the mild-manner man who many nev er expected to see in the Lientenant-Governor's ?chair, if such an officer has a chair; Speaker Libby-Watd.-whtr-pttrtiaBy upset the admiiiis tration cart in Raleigh a few weeks ago when he defeated Victor Bryant for the House speak ership. but many look upon his name as being in the pot to flavor the stew; J. M Broughton, Raleigh attorney who did a bit of indirect cam paigning at a meeting of the young democrats in this county last fall and who continues to campaign at every given opportunity; A J. Maxwell, State Commissioner of Revenue, who the politicians say is a real contender but who the people say is not a real contender, Thad Eure, the beau brummel who is now sheltered in the position of Secretary of State. And these are only a few who have been mentioned. In all the pickings no one representing the McDonald school has been prominently men tioned. And until that group is heard from, the guessers had best not be so cocksure about their guessing. Some say the McDonaldites were scattered to the four winds in 1936, but the sales tax had not been made permanent then and few utliei things have teen done?FT change the old order. Hanging By a Shoestring Out of Virginia comes a about a young farmer who was forced to turn to private employment in an effort to make money to save the old home farm. Some will hasten to explain that the youth was frivolous, listless and not suited for the farm. But the facts in the case show that Robert Lee Bristow. of Middlesex County, won the distinction of being the nation's No. 1 boy farmer in 1937. "To gain that honor he had to demonstrate intelli gence, hard work and a knowledge of practical fanning problems. He won easily the Star Far mer of America award at Kansas City and in stead of rasting on bis laurels his friends in Middlesex say it seemed to inspire him with new reaL" The story adds that the youth worked hard and put in crops calculated to meet the running i of his farm and yield a profit. Unfav foBowed, and the young man was forced from the farm. In just a short per iod, the young farmer learned that his well being hung by nothing more than a shoe string Agriculiure, the greatest industry in the country and the foundation for all progress, hangs by a shoe string, and yet when the gov ernment steps in and tries to put it on a firm foundation the smart guys who have never seen a cow or a pig sit back and belittle the ef forts made by the government. It is not consti tutional to help pull agriculture out of the quagmire, but it is constitutional for govern ment to stand by and watch its hard-working farmer bog down in the quagmire. "There is a challenge to American ingenuity and ability in the plight of young Bristow and all like him. The national economy is out of balance when the producers of food and all other raw products that come from cultivation of the soil are unable to make ends meet." Status Quo Governor Hoey's recent address in Charlotte has a two-fold meaning. When he said that the basic tax structure would not be changed, he meant that the sales tax will continue undis turbed, that no general relief in that depart ment of government is to be expected for an other two years. And when he said that the budget would be balanced, he meant that there will be no material increase in teachers' salar k s, no twelfth grade, no extended school term In other words, it is the status quo for North Carolina during another two years. Characteristic of democratic North Carolina there'll be a limitation on stealing votes in party primaries, but the bars are left down for the best man in the general election. Reports state that the committee handling proposed changes in the election law has favored a bill te abolish the absentee ballot in primaries and to revive the system for the general election. This action is to be construed to mean that good old North Carolina is going Republican ere long. How Do They Live? It is not exciting or sensational, but a strik ing story comes out of Madison County via F. H. Jeter's office in the State College Extension Service. It read's, "The county has no factories, no tobacco warehouse, no furniture plant, no hatchery or milk plant, no cannery or green house, no feed lot cattle sold directly to the butcher, nor any produce house." And yet far mers live and manage to succeed in Madison County. Down here in Martin we have the best lands in the world, one of the best balanced farming programs in the world, a mixture of manufac turing and processing plants and yet living is difficult, and possibly Madison County is bet ter off than we are. A Martin County farmer would soon starve to death if he were transplanted in the west ern county, for he can hardly make a go of it here where nature has smiled down upon him in all its fullness. And possibly the same thing would happen to the Madison farmer if he were transferred here. But, apparently there is something that each can learn from the other ^han will aid the both of them. Too Many Telephone Tolls Hertford County Herald. If a bill introduced in the legislature is pass id, the whole matter of telephone rates and charges in North Carolina will be subject to investigation by the Utilities Commission. This move has not come before it was needed, for if there is any public utility in North Carolina that needs investigation and regulation of its charges in the interest of the public it is the telephone monopoly. The immediate cause for the interest in in vestigating telephone rates has developed out oi the high charges for long-distance service within the state. It has recently been brought before the public that it costs more to talk by long-distance telephone between points in North Carolina of shorter distance than it does to talk greater distances to cities outside of North Carolina. As an example, a business man in Raleigh can talk to Norfolk, Va., for less money than he can talk to Elizabeth City in North Carolina, although the distance from Elizabeth City to Raleigh is not as great as the distance to Norfolk; the same condition is true regarding Asheville and Nashville, Tenn. In other words, it is cheaper to talk over greater distances when you reach out of North Caro lina than it is to talk shorter distances within the State. There seems to be no reason for these higher charges other than the fact?that the telephone companies, working together in North Carolina and without regulation such as imposed by interstate Federal regulation, can collect the charges. But in any investigation of telephone rates, the high cost of rural telephone service should also be given careful scrutiny. The city tele phone user doesn't know anything about long distance costs. He should live in a rural section and attempt to use his telephone to speak to neighbors only six or eight miles away in an other hamlet and each time have a long dis tance charge chalked up on his bill. The charges may not be excessive?that would be for the investigation to get at?but there are too many of them. The rural telephone subscriber as well as the man in the city would welcome a thorough investigation of telephone rates and service. Controlling Blue Mold In Tobacco Plant Beds Three methods of control of blue mold in tobacco plant beds have given results under varying condi- , lions Two of these are by fumiga tion with benzol and paradichloro benzol while the third is a spray treatment.
