News and Comment From Raleigh
.-. CAPITAL LETTERS.
By
THOMPSON GREENWOOD
CHERRY Stewart Atkins, city
editor of the afternoon paper in
Gastonia, will handle Gregg Cher
ry's publicity. Atkins, around 30
years old, has had quite a bit of
experience in newspaper work and
should prove a good man for Candi
date Cherry. Atkins and his fath
er, brothers and sisters, run the
"Gazette", and Stewart has been
knowing Mr. Cherry all his (Stew
art's) life. This should in some
measure offset the fact that Atkins
is lacking in political background
and experience as regards State
office.
quantity dug. To ease this situa
tion, the State Department of Ag
riculture will import this year ap-
proximately 12 carloads of the best
Louisiana Klips; and these will be
resold to interested farmers at cost,
HEADQUARTERS Cherry will
open campaign headquarters in
Raleigh on February 15. He would
like to wait until March, but cir
cumstances over which he has no
control are forcing the issue.
McDONALD Anyone familiar
with political trends in North Caro
lina will not be surprised at the
American Federation of Labor's
recent nod in Dr. Ralph McDon
ald's direction. Within the past
week the Doctor has been given
funds by the AFL; and there is
some indication that he is being
helped just a little by the CIO.
SWEETS Due to the fact that
8weet potato growers in North
Carolina sell their best stock and
throw their second-rate roots back
into the ground, this State is about
fourth in the amount of money
received from the sale of yams
even though frequently first in the
DOUGHTON - Horton Dough
ton, son of Bob Doughton, the best
known of any of North Carolina's
folks in Washington, is for Mc
Donald again as he was in 1936.
Doughton will not manage Dr. Mc
Donald's campaign, but he will
support him. However, there is
strong evidence to the effect that
Congressman Doughton will sup
port R. G. Cherry.
TEST Two of the Nation's larg
est meat-packing companies ar
involved in cases charging them
with short weights. C. D. Bau
com, superintendent of the State
Weights and Measures Division,
says that he has evidence showing
that their representatives have sold
bacon short weight. Superinten
dent Baueom says that several
packs of hi iced bacon marked one
pound weighed less than 16 ounces.
A test case or two are under way
now. The main point seems to be
whether the product was sold short
weight inU-ntionally.
Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis may develop tf
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron
chitis Is not treated and you cannot
afford to takeachaiicewith any medi
cine leas potent than Creomulston
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote by special process with other
lime tested mecrlnes for couglis.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it aulckly allays the cough, per
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)
OLEO Due to the shortage of
butter, manufacturers are selling
oleomargarine as never before.
Dairy folks are notably envious and
jealous of any activities on the part
of the oleo people and they have
been instrumental in getting sev
eral laws passed designated to cut
the sales of oleo and to present its
being confused with butter. For
instance, if it were not for a cer
tain law, you would be able to pur
chase colored ntargerine at the
corner grocery. However, dairy
men were afraid the stuff would
look too much like butter, so pass
ed a law against coloring. Now
you color it yourself but the taste
is not improved. The coloring helps
the imagination and after several
(lays you can hardly tell (perish
the thought!) oleo from butter.
But any restaurant or eating
place using oleomargerine without
posting a placard with letters at
least one inch high saying so is
violating a State law passed in
1931.
Arrives In England
O Q
CPL. JACK E. WRIGHT, son
of Mr. and Mrs. France Wright of
Hazelwood, has arrived in Eng
land, according to information re
ceived by his wife and his parents.

PORTER It now looks as if
Garland Porter, director of the
State News Bureau, will accept
one of several jobs recently ten
dered him in Atlanta, Washington
and New York. If he leaves
which ho will likely do betewen
now and Easter he will be re
placed by Bill Sharpe, who will
be taking his third fling at the
position.
Conditions uround the State
News Bureau offices have not been
all sweetness and light for several
weeks and this situation is having
right much to do with Porter's
leaving. Too, the new positions
will allegedly pay right much more
than the salary Porter is now re
ceiving. He's getting around $4,
800 at the present; and will be
paid something over $7,000 per
year in one or two of the offers.
CROSS Hathaway Cross, Pa
roles Commissioner, will enter the
Army next Monday as a buck pri
vate. Cross, native of Gates coun
ty, is young, willing and, other
than the fact that he has an over
dose of avoirdupois is able. The
son-of-a-gun seems to be looking
forward to hearing the sergeant's
bark. He didn't try for a commis
sion, said he wasn't interested in

HAYWOOD FARMERS
The
Friendly
Bank
1943 was one of the best years in history for you
prices on all your crops and cattle were high. Yields
were excellent, and your untiring efforts to aid the
war program is further proven by the recognition
given this county by the Federal War Food Adminis
tration last week.
We are justly proud of your record, but wish to
suggest that NOW is the time to prepare for times
which might not be as favorable as 1943.
It is because of our deep interest in your future
that we urge you to immediately:
PAY OFF ALL DEBTS, of every nature, regard
less to whom you owe.
INVEST EVERY SPARE DOLLAR in War
Bonds. Our fighting men need the things your dol
lars will enable Uncle Sam to buy for them.
KEEP ONLY ENOUGH CASH on hand to meet
daily needs.

of buddies, are expecting those of us at home to
keep them supplied with food, clothing, medi

sary to continue the march to victory.
