Lanier, Lanier's Studio Ja Wallace). : by Ralph Howland Chinquapin, Aug. 7 t--W. Kerr Scott, out of the quiet of bis Haw River farm, today told a- rural audience that if the people exhibit enough Interest and donate enough money he will be a candidate for the U. S. Senate. '' ' :y-'. ; The unpredictable former gover nor said he had received great en couragement from all : over the state, and he gave every possible indication that he will oppose Sen. Alton A. Lennon, the choice of Gov ernor Umstead, In the Democratic '-fcrtmaryr ' : v "V"-'" Evasivt yet blunt at times, the drawling,l well-to-do, farmer and dairyman said, "If, I shouldsget in . this thing and the people turned L me down, they'll turn down a mlgh ". ty good man." . Mfyf ;,i4t-v.-.' He was heard by several hundred v persons, mostly farmers who ap peared to like the way he talked. They appauded him generously and in conclusion Leroy Simmons; farmer who lives north of this Duplin County village, announced the formation of the first Scott-For-Senate Club in North Carolina. Simmons invited all to join and '-announced that there would not be ! a specific fee. . j This was Scott's first major ad dress since he left, the- Executive Mansion last January. There has been wide speculation that he would ' run for the Senate. It seemed that his opponent would be Sen. Willis Smith but on the letter's death and - the subsequent appointment of Len non, speculation grew wider. OTHER POSSIBILITIES ' ' Other possible canidatea for the . nomination include U. S. Rep. Har old D. Cooley of Nashville and State ' Senator. John Larkins of Trenton. Both have exhibited great interest ; In the race. :.:-';-:'.;; ' On the program with Scott here, wtre Joshua James; of Wilmington and Wilbur Clark of Fayetteville. James was deposed by Umstead : as a member of the Utilities Com mission and 'Clark as a member " of. the Hiehwav Commission. In l his introduction ; by Scott, James classified him with Cover- nors Zeb Vance and Charles Ay 1 cock, and said that he had the com- mon touch of the late President BVanklin D. Roosevelt ' . The audience, sweltering under a : . hot sun, was gathered on a .'joint y vard between the little Shiloh Mis 1 sionanr Baptist Church ; and the ' . Salem Presbyterian Church. Scott, shirt-sleeved and sun-tan-- nied, said he first came to this re gion. 30-odd years ago in a horse -. and bueer and drove cows. He, like "Clark, remembered that when he became Governor in 1949, there was not a paved road in this im " mediate area. Now the so-called Scott roads, a result of a $200 mil- - lion secondary .road program, go ' In" every direction. Rcait did not refer to the Urn stead administration by name, but - he expressed gladness that the pro . f rami which he said flourished . tinder his administration are being! c mtinued. .

'He said the greatest accomplish ment of his gubernatorial tenure was making it possible "for counH try churches of North Carolina to function "by placing good roads to their doors. He added that 78.2 rer cent of the population of North i Carolina is identified with country c'mrches. ' " - r " ' ; The audience hung' intently on 1 s every word when -he spoke of 1 ! Senate.

Up State papers played it up to the status of a . noteworthy statewide event. Some of the news stories predicted there would be four to five thousand people on hand, and that Scott might make formal entry into the Senate race. The major wire news services and four of the morning dailies Jiad personal rep resentatives and photographers pre sent on the chance that something big might pop. There were half a dozen ex-officials who served sin important State offices by appoint ment of Governor Scott.

Press) Dr. James Yadkin Joyner of La Grange, North Carolina's "Grand Old Man of Education," Friday August 7th, observed his 91st birth day at the Atlantic Beach cottage of. his son, CoL William T. Joyner of Raleigh where three generations of the Joyners. had assembled to honor the patriarch of the clan. . Perhaps wr Other North Carqlin ian hsLS Hevntr4o7mMeh' of -his life to tha -welfare- 6f.4tM-:fitate fls has Dr. Joyner. Mora than-three-fourths of his 91 years have been spent in the public interest. Whenever education is mention ed in this state, the mind leaps ahead to the names of two men who, as public- officials, lent the necessary impetus to a State-wide program to make education avail able to all the people. The first of tnese men was Gov ernor Charles B. Aycock, one of the foremost champions of education in the South. The second was Dr. Joy ner, who as Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, joined with the gov ernor to lay the groundwork for the North Carolina public education system as we know it today. (The son of the late Governor C. Brant ley Aycock now resides in Kins ton.) Dr. Joyner completed his col lege preparatory work at the old Kinsey School in LaGrange. He was graduated, at the age of 19, from the University of North Carolina in 1881, and immediately launched his career as an educator. Ran a Boarding School Together with an old classmate, Noah J. Rouse, he took over the Kinsey School and conducted a boarding school and classical acad emy there for about three years. During that time he was also as sociated with Judge J, D. Murphy and Dr. Horace Williams, former classmates. While teaching in LaGrange, Dr. Joyner, then-only 21 years old, became Superintendent ol .auca tion in Lenoir County. Afterwards, he read law with Judges Faircloth . and Allen in Goldsboro, as a Junior memoer oi the firm. After three years in the law of fice. Dr. Joyner was elected Su perintendent of City Graded Schools in Goldsboro and returnea eagerly to his first love teaching. Moved Ho Greensboro He continued to teach in Golds boro until 1893, at which time he accepted a position as head of the DeDartment of Enslish and dean of the faculty at the State Normal and Industrial College in Greens boro. This institution is today bet ter known as the Woman's College of .the University of North Caro lina. : In 1902 the Lenoir County edu cator was appointed by Governor Aycock as Superintendent of Pub lic Instruction, in which capacity he served .for 17 years, under five governors. Resigning in the middle of his term in 1919, Dr. Joyner returned to LaGrange and his old home. Since thaf time he has continued his activities in the fields of edu cation and agraculture on both lo cal and state levels. .- ' The fact , that early educators did such excellent spadework is of prime importance in the progress that has been made in education in North Carolina. Dr. Joyner said in an anniversary Interview today, In the early years of the- public education program in North Caro lina, ' the sponsors didn't havfr as much money to work with as now. They 4d to "make Brick- without ... . ... i ' chuckled reminir 'ly, . , IcHt KUny I c JOYNER During his career as an educator, Dr. Joyner has held practically every official education position in the state. He was for years pres ident of the Association of South ern State Superintendents and of the Southern Education Associa tion. In 1910 he was named presi dent of the National Education Association of the U. S. Long interested in agriculture and the -welfare of the farmer especially- the tobacco grower Dr. Joyner is still an active booster of the Kinston Tobacco Market which he confidently expects to have another great season, starting August 20. He and others have fought for adequate buying sup port and other benefits for the Kinston market and he has made many trips to Washington in be half of the tobacco control pro gram. He'd go again today, if the need should arise and his doctors would permit him to do so. Hale and hearty, despite the wilting summer heat, Dr. Joyner manages to "keep fairly busy" su pervising the production and har vesting of 65 acres of tobacco on his farm near LaGrange. He scorns the notion that he might retire from public life, but, at the same time, he declined to comment on the advantages or disadvantages of the greatly touted "progressive education" movement. "I don't want to get into any controversy", the nonagenarian said sagely. Ring Bros. Circus In Warsaw, Aug. 25 The wild animals, the clowns and the red wagons are coming! This announcement is hailed with delight by the juvenile element while some of the "Older Boys" are already looking about for their neighbors nephews and nieces.
