One of the real jobs which the Democrats . t0 offer ini North Carolina is [presidency of the North Caro • Railroad Co. ndling the job is as easy as off a log backward with "eyes closed. Selected by the pernor, the president draws a try of $800 -per annum. Right [the bat, Kerr Soott chose his Jther, Ralph, for the position. Ither Ralph held the job until weeks* ago when he decided sign. hen Scott chose the successor [ this Democratic pie: Repufoli Ralph Fisher of Brevard, in nsylvania County. Fisher took last week in ceremonies Jimensurate with the tremen Is responsibilities being thrust bn him. Now how about Eisen ver for the Scott barbecue? __DOUCtHTTOiN . . . Despite , the recent talk about Gregg I erry’s being made N. C.’s Dem- ! national committeeman to Jonathan Daniels, we still nk it will be Robert L. Dough l—with Cherry’s consent. A COW . . . C. C. Crow, veland County minister who been voted rural minister of year by the Progressive Farm entered Wake Forest 20 years with his wife, two children, a cow. The son is now a phy the daughter is happily rried, and Crow is a veteran World War II now working der than ever ibefoe. Note to nt high school graduates: You get a college education if you lly want it. Iian IN 19124 . . Not since 1924 — i the Democrats, if we recall rrectly—stayed in session three fceks—has there 'been such un- ! rtaibty among them on a nation I scale. Will there emerge another jilliam Jennings Bryan, who at 1924 Convention played such important role? At that sur Jundance, the Great Commoner ung of the chataquas—got down, his knees and led the delegat iii prayer. A short time later khn W. Davis was nominated, to feak the deadlock. He was de ated that fall by that ball-of fire, ellbimder Calvin Coolidge. [Very few of these who partici in that Convention of 32 rs ago are still among ^xs; But 'is is—and smiled at you from front pages a few weeks ago he keenly, and with, youthful gor, opposed President Truman’s (izure of the steel mills. HAPPY WITH IKE . . Local emocratic happiness on the Re iblicans’ choice of Eisenhower wns from the fact it places Sen. ichard Russell in a good position, fiose we have t^ked to believe lat only with Russell can the with hope to win out over the epuhlkans in 'November. Consensus here was that the rand Old Party is gone, having me like the Democrats: sacrific i principles for popularity. NO ACCEPTANCE . . . You can at this down—whether you have lad it elsewhere or not — Harry • Truman will not accept Sen. stes Kefauver of Tennessee as l€ Democratic nominee. He has i intimated, and perhaps a little forager than .that, to friends with ■ the ten days. It is also a foregone conclusion iat President Truman could not ersuade the big cities to accept ■efauver even if he should be fought to the Tennesseean’s side t the last minute. It is ironical iat TV, which has brought to ofauver such tremendous surface “Polarity with the people, has ■so worked few his defeat among le Democratic big city bosses. ADliAI OUT . . . Our advice is wt you can count Illinois’ Gov. 41ai Stevenson out of the n»tion [ Democratic picture. Had Bob been the nominee, Adlai E®* have accepted the candida r of the Democrats. But he doesn't waptt to run bad ^ enough to take on Brother lice, oat’s the way It looks from ®re on the eve of the Democratic lational Convention. Also, Stev ^®oa is having family troth les; *** ^li* candidacy would bring the ^th of the Catholic® showering 0Wn upon Mm OKLAHOMA’S KERR . , . The fact that Bob Kerr of Oklahoma is a millionaire is virtually enough to keep him out of the picture. He is ^Baptist layman, one of the leaders in fact; and this would certainly ,be a great advantage in the Bible Blest, a strip of our country about 500 miles, in width running the Southeastern States diagonally northward to Minne sota. Of greater importance, however, is the handicap Bob KerrP faces through his opposition to Uncle Sam’s ownership of Tidelands oil. You see, very few of the states have oil in their oceanic back yards. To be sure, Oklahoma is not on the ocean but the oilmen are hanging together on this one. The only way other states can get at this underwater wealth—for use :n equalizing educatinoal advan tages—is for it to be turned over to Uncle Sam. Kerr is against it; and he would Ibe shot at plenty on that one. He could hardly change his mind, for he is in the oil cli que. ‘ . You may be interested in knowing that one of Bob Kerr’s wells bores diagonally to a point directly underneath the capitol in Oklahoma City. AGAINST HAKRlIMAN . . Now let’s look at Harfiman. Ever since President Truman announced pub licly that he would not be a can didate for re-election, the Demo crats have been on the prowl for somebody—in fact, almost any body. Inevitably, the search led to Av erill Hardman, whose father left him am estate of approximately 40 million dollars. One of the poorest speakers in public life today. Har riman is wildly liberal and is an extremely shy person. He might prove less acceptable to the South than even Truman himself. • ■ BIG CITIES.. : . William. ITimm, son-in-law of the late Son. J. W. Bailey and Atlanta tv "bessman, has been- in Chicago lor several "days on behalf of Senator Rus sell. There were~others, all on the same mission: to persuade the big cities to accept the senator from Georgia. Until it appeared virtual ly certain that Eisenhower would be the Republican nominee, they weren’t getting to first base. But as the. talks with bosses of Chica go, New York, Boston, Los Angel es, St. Louis,- and Detroit contin ued—and as „ t£e . IJce . stock. .wen t up—the situation became" some better. As of last Friday noon, it look ed real good ... at the moment Eisenhower made the grade. This time you may xumj urc ouuwi uvm ing the whip hand. BIG TEST . .. But the final test, of course, will come in the con vention next week. iProblem will be to convince the city leaders that a man from the South will have a chance this fall. Our folks will come back with the argument that the Democratic Party will lose the South in November if it: does not have Russell heading the tieket. .— .. , j As a running mate, the South s advance guard in Chicago want | -Harriman or some other ultra lib- , eral Our national committeeman, i Jonathan Daniels, has not said he is for Russell. He hasn’t said he is against him. He left for Chica go Monday morning yia New York. Big arguments on creden tials will begin on Friday, Jmy 18, and Texas will be in the mid dle of them just as in the case of the Republicans. -----—— [aness Joins Id Law Firm •he law firm of Ragland, Kurz Layton, of Jacksonville, Flor have announced the admission H.

J BILL LLOYO Lloyd Status Changes Fast 1-n a day of fast decisions and travel records, Bill Lloyd’s switch -from College Senior to serviceman at sites separated by half a continent etlll has his friends and family agog. Monday he was a Senior at U.N.C. and Tuesday he was a memljer of the U. S. Air Corps stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antioni, Texas. Lloyd, ion of Mr. and Mr*. M. P, Lloyd, has been attending the first session of the summer school at U.N.C. and after tak ing his last exam Monday and becoming a graduate of the Uni versity in Science Education he began another step In his educa tion.

Then he was told that he was scheduled to leave for Lack land Air Foroe Base at 4 a.m. T uesday. In a period of less than 24 hours he made a complete switch from college boy to ser viceman, and that Is a pretty good speed record for anyone. -o 24 Miles Paving Added In Jane Raleigh—The State Highway Commission completed’2.4 miles of new paying in Orange County during the month, of June, Com* missioner James A.

Farmers Decide Two Vital Issues In Voting Saturday Birdseye Will Accept Call To Chapel Hill Hillsboro - Hillsboro’s loss Is Chapel Hill’s gain. This trite expression seems to sum up best the change of pas torates of the ' Chapel Hill and Hillsboro Presbyterian churches which is scheduled to take place 'prtibabty around the middle of September. The Rev. Irving E. Birdseye, pastor of the Hillsboro Presby terian Church since MWl, re ceived a call this past Sunday from the congregation of the Chapel Hill Presbyterian Chur oh to become its associate pastor while the pastor, the Rev. Charles M. Jones, is on leave of absence as an area consultant with the Save-The-Children Federation in the Bristol, Tenn-Va. area. 'Birdseye advised the session of the Hillsboro_Church Sunday night that he desired to accept the offer and will notify the congrega tion next Sunday. Under church regulations, the congregation would then meet the following Sunday to act on the matter. It is a foregone conclusion that the congregation which holds him in such high esteem will not stand in the way of his advancement, al though such a course would be possible under the regulations. While Jones and some spokes men for the church have gone to some lengths to indicate Jones’ departure is only on leave of ab sence temporarily, few believe that the pastor of the Chapel Hill church for, the past 12 years who has become a controversial figure because of his liberal racial and theological views will return to the Chapel Hill pastorate. o New Officer For Farm Agency J. iBurrcl] Sanders has ■ been elected secretary-treasurer of the Henderson National Farm Loan association, a 7 county farmer owned credit cooperative serving Orange county, according . to an announcement (by the Board of Directors.

Aldermen Corn well and Putnam had sought the board’s sentiment after studying means of alleviating the space problem and other plans includ ing private operation of cemetery facilities. /■ ] An ordinance prohibiting park ing on the West side of Pritchard Avenue between Rosemary and! Short Streets was approved as was an ordinance prohibiting loit ering around the local bus station, a situation which has become seri ous in recent months. A beer per mit was granted to Charles Mason who operates the Hollywood Grill■ on West Franklin and approval! was given tor the purchase of ad- | ditional fire hose and two fire ex tinguishers for the (Negro Com munity Center.
