REVERSE—In the iMrnths of cam
paigning before the First Primary,
Kerr Scott, candidate for Governor,
was accused of mud-slinging. He re
plied that he was only giving the
“facts in the case—and if that be
mod-slinging, I'm sorry.” Bat he
was informed, only the losing candi
date aver slings mod. Candidate
Charles Johnson, who is also State
Treasurer (and a good one), did not
resort to mud-slinging, seldom, if
ever, mentioned Kerr Scott by name,
always referring to him simply as
“my opponent.”
But so far, %t least as this is being
written, Scott has done no mud
slinging for the Second • Primary.
Scott is being accused of being “a
machine man,” of not living in Ra
leigh while He was Commissioner of
Agriculture, of this, that, and the
other. Johnson men are certainly
tearing into him.
As the second week in the second
campaign came to an end last Satur
day night, Scott whs using Johnson’s
First Primary strategy and Johnson
was using Scott’s.
' ATTACK!—With Scott doing the
lambasting during April and Ma^,
Johnson was; on the defensive. Now
the shoe is on the other foot. John
son is attacking and Scott is on the
defensive . Which is the better cam
paign strategy? Only the voters
know—and they can’t talk until June
26. Before that date rolls around,
you will find both Scott end Johnson
slinging at each othqy /with all the
ammunition they can muster.
MYSTERY POP — As a Father’s
Day advertising project, Lewis’, Inc.,
here in Raleigh, has been running a
“Mystery Pop” contest on a local ra
dio station. It attracted quite a bit
of attention, 'for Wade Lewis, Sr.;
and Jr., giving away approximately
$2,500 worth of fine clothing—nine
suits, three hats, topcoats, etc. Who
won? Nine-year-old Parker Hodges,
son of your State Insurance Commis
sioner William P. Hodges. So, the
best-dressed State official for several
years to come should be Bill Hodges.
And who was the mystery pop? Jim
Kilgore, president of Pine State
Creamery and the son of the late
- great agriculturist, Dr. B. W. Kilgore.
YOU CANT' ESCAPE—The N. C.
Dairy Products Association, led by
pI Ip L. 1,. Ray of Alamance county,
and the Dairy Council and N .C. Milk
Producer Association, are now push
ing June Dairy Month. This week’s
salute goes to this worthwhile pro
gram which is making North Caro
linians more conscious of the value )f
dairy .products. "Ray has appeared,
before several civic groups within the
rid 'hree weeks telhng them of this
State’s goal—to make North Carolina
the Dairy State of the South. He
has appeared on several radio pro
grams from one end of the State to
the other. There is money in tobacco
and in cotton. However, the real need
for a strong agricultural program in
North Carolina is more cows, more
corn and legume crops to support
them, and a year-around income for
the 300.000 farmers.
seen^to be getting his full share of
Albright supporters. Scott, as was
to be expected, is winning over the
preponderance of the Albright
strength, but the way many former1
Albright managers and committee
members are swinging to Johnson is
causing quite a bit of surprise around
l'aleigh.
WHO WILL WIN ? The $64,000, or
possibly the $184,000 question, is:
“Who is going, to win out for Govern
or?" Well, brother and aster, your
guess ia^ust as good as anybody
else’s. This question is being asked alb
over North Carolina. Nobody knows
GETTING HIS SHARE—Although
R. Mayne Albright, who ran third in
the Governor's race, same out in the
runoff as a neutral, Charles Johnson

yon vote as you wish. Don’t let any

just as much right to your opinion

•OTES—Jim Vogler of Charlotte,
head of the N. C. Food Dealers As
sociation and defeated candidate for
State Treasurer, is supporting Scott
in the runoff, while Brandon Hodges,
the winner, is for Johnson. Johnson
men got the move on Seott in the
second campaign and have already
flooded the State with new Johnson
posters. Nell Battle Lewis, who has
been doing a column for the Raleigh
News and Observer for 26 years, is
the new associate' editor of the Ra
leigh Times, will also write a column
there. ! }
Horton Doughton, prominent mer
chant of Statesville, is reported to be
shelling the woods for Kerr Scott hi
Piedmont North Carolina. E. B. Jeff
reys, president of Greensboro Daily
News-Record Co., visited Scott head
quarters for a long «chat last Wed
nesday. The Charlotte News is
plugging for Johnson. Gov. R. Gregg
Cherry took some wind out of the
Scott sails last week when he made
it financially possible for State col
lege to complete its handsome coli
seum. Scott had already assured
State alumni this would be done im
mediately upon his becoming Govern
or Johnson has had one State Sena
tor, Rivers Johnson of Warsaw, on
the air in his behalf. Others are ex
pected. The road contractors are now
said to be all out for Johnson. This
also goes for virtually all the lead
ing manufacturers i> North Carolina.
IN AN ENVIABLE POSITION—
Charles M. Johnson is in an envi
able .position, and that’s putting it
mildly. Although J. M. Broughton
is said to be neutral, many of his

most ardent supporters are for Joniv
son. Congressman MonrOe Redden is
doing him a lot of good in the Hen
dersonville-Asheville section. Oscar
Pitta, who certainly knows his way
around, politically, is living in Ashe
ville now and is doing some contact
ing in the mountain counties for
Johnson. One of the best public rela
tions-men in the business, Claude
Ramey of Asheville, is turning out
some handiwork for Johnson. On the
‘other hand, Sen. W. B. Umstead is
doing nothing for Scott, and his home
bounty of Durham is said to be
swinging to Johnson.
Looking at it from here, if is hard
to imagine Johnson's losing. He has
'Some of the smartest politicians in
the State in his camp. He has the
money. He has ability. He makes a
good speech, particularly on the wra
dio, But Sen. W*. B. Umstead had
all these things, too, and he lost The
difference is that Johnson does not
have a Broughton' running,
him.
H the pattern which was set ini
and was followed in 1986, '40,
and '44 holds, Johnson will win. If
not, Scott will be the next Governor.

principal states, however; that the
science position has been offered to
two persons, the first of whom did
not accept because of acceptance of
a position elsewhere, and the second
refused on the ground that she want
ed to be nearer home.
The places filled are as follows:

lege and has taught in the Rock
Ridge high /school and the Wilson
city schools. This summer she is

Atlantic Christian college.' aSgSpac
Mrs. John L. Johnson (formerly
Miss Rose Graham) has accepted the

The principal states that he feels
the teacher selection is fortunate; for

ed from their former positions in oth
er schools and the teachers just com
pleting their college work come high
ly recomifiended by their respective
institutions. £ '
