Ehrnighaus Talked Of As
Senatorial Candidate
The name of former Governor
J. C. B. Ehringhaus, now four
years in private life, was easing
back into the political talk in this
section today as politicians began
to size up tlie United States Sen
atorial campaign spring after next.
Two names were being discussed
as possible opponents of Senator
J. W. Bailey, Governor Ehringhaus
and former Speaker Lib by Ward,
of New Bern,
The possibility of Governor
Ehringhaus being a candidate was
especially intriguing to those poli
ticians who like their politics with
a lot of complications.
Strong Figure
He, for instance, went in as
governor as one of the choice mem
bers of what had been called the
Shelby group, if not dominant to
the point of being dictatorial then
at least powerful enough invaria
bly to get elected. In that position,
then he would seem to be assured
of strong support.
But, on the other hand, Senator
Bailey and Shelby were as close
as cigarettes in a pack last spring
when their mutual friend, J. M.
Broughton, ran far ahead of the
crowd in the race for Governor.
The nifty political outfit set up
then, combining the Baptists, the
Methodists, the women, the con
servatives and the liberals, would
be like a gift from Heaven for
Bailey if he has hard opposition.
The situation has its possibilities
and politicians were watching it
with deep interest.
Tuberculosis Control
Nowadays, the average white per
son, up to the age of 25, has about
one chance in 30 of eventually dying
from tuberculosis. Less than two
decades ago the chances were twice
as great.

MOUNTAIN JOE .... ...
Boy, Oh Boy v. . I'm as thrilled
as a small child. I am down here
at Burgin's store opening and pat
ting toys together. Hundreds and
hundreds of them.
In all my born days I've never
seen so many. All kinds. Some
for the little baby, some for the
older children and even some that
daddy and grandpa will like to
play with. The price tags we are
putting on these toys is m ghty low.
Yon will have to see bow cheap
they are, as I can't tell yon.
Come on down to Burgin's and
see for yourself all the wonderful
buys they have in toys and other
things for a Merry Christmas.
'" The racks of candy, nuts and
' fruits is so tempting that it js hard
to stay away from them. The
prices are so low that this year
every little boy and girl should be
ab!e to have all they wanted, if
they send their parents to Burgin's
to get things ready for Santa's
