News and Comment From Raleigh
CAPITAL LETTERS

MASTERLY The various com
missioners and directors, of agri
culture throughout the nation are
still discussing W. Kerr Scott's
presentation of the agricultural
platform of the Platform Commit
tee at the Democratic Convention
at Chicago.
R. A. Trovatten of Minnesota
who is chairman of the executive
committee of the National Asso
ciation of Commissioners of Agri
culture, recently sent a letter to
all the commissioners and directors
in the 48 states saying, "We have
been the recipients of many com
plimentary and commendatory ex
pressions of appreciation of the
splendid manner in which the mat
ter was handled. Mr. Scott's pres
entation was masterly and effective."
BUSSES Collier's Magazine is
scheduled to run a nice little
article pretty soon now on the
transportation system in North
Carolina's school program. The
piece will tell something about the
busses used, and so on. Prepared
by Bill Sharpe's State News Bu
reau, it should prove a good ad
vertisement for this State.
Although the story likely will
will not mention Dr. B. B. Dough
erty's name, he deserves more
credit for our present school sys
tem busses and all than any
other living man. Doufherty, pre
sident of Appalachian State Teach
ers College at Boone, has done
more for North Carolina schools
than any other man since Charles
B. Aycock.
in the Sir Walter Hotel here. If you
didn t know a primary had been
held, you would think the entire
setup a continuation of the old
Cherry - for - Governor campaign.
The stenographers who were there
last spring have been called back,
the same offices are being used, and
so on down the line. Back there
in his old office W. B. U instead,
now chairman of the State Demo
cratic Executive committee, has
the task of soliciting funds with
which to give the Republicans in
the State and Nation, a drubbing,
come November 7.
CHAIR In the last office down
the hall sits the Boss, Governor
Nominee R. Gregg Cherry in a
high-backed plush leather chair.
Major Cherry is looking more gub
ernatorial every day. If you re
member, during the campaign there
were foolish statements to the ef
feet that "Cherry just doesn't look
like a Governor." Well, he does
now whether he is chewing to
oacco or not ior ne nas a chair
just as high-backed and just as im
portant looking as that one used
by Governor J. M. Broughton.
Of course, it takes more than a
high-backed chair to make a good
Governor. However, Cherry is
graying handsomely, and this
should help tremendously with that
certain look which we seem to
think our governors should possess.

MILKER L. Y. Ballentine,
Democratic nominee for Lieuten
ant Governor, was not able to ac
company the other members of the
State Board of Agriculture on their
visits to the three new test farms
this week.
Ballentine, who operates a good
sized dairy in Wake County, can't
find sufficient labor for his farm,
so must attend to much of the work
personally. They say around Ral
eigh that he can be found any
morning between four and seven
o'clock out at the dairy barn in
overalls . 'tending to the milking
just like any good Tar Heel farm
er. On that basis, he should make
a good Lt. Gov. . . likely will.
HELPERS It is interesting to
visit the Democratic headquarters
BOOKS They are moving sol
diers out of Fort Bragg in tre
mendous numbers these days, and
Fayetteville is having its little
troubles as a result of this mi
gration to other camps and other
countries. One of the most acute
is concerned with alcohol, it seems.
The soldiers, reports say, leave
their liquor books with their
friends. The Alcohol Beverage
Control stores in Cumberland
County collected BOO of these books
last week from soldiers trying to
use them as their own. The name
on the books failed to check with
the "dog tags," which they made
the soldiers present, so the little
coupons are no longer in circula
tion. Although whiskey is supposed to
be rationed in the wet counties of
the State, reports are that there
are at least 1,000 ways of circum
venting the rationing system.
PFC. SAMUEL C. CURTIS,
who was assigned and joined an
Evacuation Hospital Command on
August 2, 1942, has been awarded
the Good Conduct Ribbon in lieu
of the Good Conduct Medal.
I'fc. Curtis is recommended for
the award for his demonstrated
fidelity by faithful and exact per
formance of duty, efficiency and be
havior deserving emulation com
pleting one year's service as an
EM of AUS after 7th December,
1941, or three years after 27th
August, 1940.
TROUBLE If you think the
people in your community are ex
citable and high-strung these days,
you should meet and talk to people
up North and out West. You would
be surprised at the agitation in the
minds of these people. There is
strong anti-Semitic feeling . . . and
strong anti-Negro feeling. To a
slow-talking, calm Southerner, it
appears dangerous.
"Just wait until after the war,"
they say but then what? Will
there be trouble with the Negroes
and the Jews? Are they not
Americans? They are dying on
foreign fields, they are paying
taxes at home. But the feeling is
there. You meet it on the trains,
in restaurants, with almost anyone
to whom you speak. There is now
strong class hatred in America.
While we are praying for victory
over there, we must pray for toler
ance here at home.
Luke Why did the foreman fire
you?
McGluk You know foremen . . .
just guys who stand around and
watch other people work.
Luke So what?
McGluk So everybody thought
I was a foreman.
