Thru Capital jKeyhol es KINGS THE BELL AGAIN—The reorganized State Revenue Depart ment hit another one over the fence for a home-run in report of collec tions for the first quarter of this fiscal year. Collections for July, August and September totalled $7,- 112,562.98, representing a gain of more iron men than were gathered together during the same quarter last year. The per centage increase for the quarter was 63.34 while a gain of 217 percent was registered in the month of Septem ber. That's good news to Revenue Commissioner A. J. Maxwell who has heard that the Legislature will seek to make his post elective instead of appointive, and his assistant Dr. M. C. S. Noble, who has heard rumb ling of coming attacks on his posi tion next January. Both men will be well fortified with figures if at tempts are made to get them down on the carpet.

C. ■ By Bess Hinton Silver and Mrs. Charles W. Ullett, Jr., of Charlotte, are in town scratching their heads on how to get out a big vote next month in the absence of state-wide contests of major inter ests. The old bunk mills of both parties will be grinding merrily for some weeks. PULLED A BONER?—Many poli ticians coming into Raleigh from ov er the State express the opinion that Congressman R. L. Doughton, con sidered a 1936 candidate for Gover nor, pulled a boner when he tele graphed Francis J. Gorman, textile strike leader, that he had no in fluence" with the State administra tion in the matter of using troops in troubled areas. Gorman termed the Doughton telegram "favorable" and .in Raleigh it was interpreted as a bid for the organized labor vote but some hair-splitting politicians are of the opinion that the Congress man didn't 'expect the message to be published. HOW'S YOUR ROAD?— Members of the State Highway and Public Works Commission estimate "con servatively" that it will require up wards of $2,000,000 to "restore the old county roads or secondary State system to the condition they were in when the Legislature ham-strung expenditures two years ago. If the next Legislature diverts highway \ THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKPf. NORTH CAROLINA funds the State will suffer a $1,000,- 000 "penalty" in federal funds each year of the coming biennium. With all the varied and sundry demands for diversion, demands for purchase of toll bridges and lowering of the license tax is not impossible that North Carolina may become known for its "bad" roads. MORE TROUBLE— Federal reUef officials threaten to withdraw all assistance from States not sharing in the costs. The State of North Carolina is not spending one penny on relief and the local units very little. This State may get a stay of execution until the Legislature convenes but what will happen after that is an unknown quantity. The General Assembly is going to have its headaches over running the schools and other functions of the State and now it will have the added task of raising money for relief. VINDICATED —Governor Ehring haus. State Parole Commissioner Edward M. Gill and the courts vindicated of charges of prejudice when Emanuel (Spice) Bittings. Person county Negro went to his death in the electric chair. It had been charged that Spice did not get a fair trial and that his family was intimidated. As he took his seat in the chair Bittings said, "It's not the court's fault—it's nobody's fau't but my own that lam here." He should have known. IN THE COLD— State department employes are wondering why it is that nobody seems to realize their reduced financial status. On every hand speakers and writers are urg ing increased pay for school teach ers but few voices are raised in be half of the remainder of the fired help. Just to give you an idea of how things stand the CWA fur nished a part time stenographer to one State official and paid her more than his full time secretary was get ting. UP THE LADDER —By reason of deaths and primary defeats Prank Hancock the up-and-coming young Congressman from the Fifth North Carolina District, will be number three man on the highly important House Banking and Currency Com mittee of the next Congress. Han cock, one of the young and most aggressive members of the North Carolina delegation is known in Washington as more Rooseveltian in his ideas than even the President. Every now and then his name bobs up in speculation as a potential can didate for Governor or the Senate. A LOT OF GRUB—The Prison Division of the State Highway and Public. Works Commission, under the direction of Jack Roach, among oth er little jobs has to prepare 25,000 meals each day—for prisoners and employees. That's an average of slightly more than 1,000 meals every hour—and the way those huskies can eat. It's a neat little job of housekeeping that faces Mr. Roach every morning at breakfast. TAR HEELS ON SCENE —North Carolinians are forging to the front in the Roosevelt Administration— there's Josephus Daniels, Ambassa dor to Mexico; Mr. E. Dodd, Ambas sador to Germany; J. Crawford Biggs, Solicitor General; Turner Battle, practically second in com mand of the Department of Labor; Justice Walter P. Stacey, Chairman of the President's Labor Mediation Board; S. Clay Williams, newly named Chairman of the reorganized NRA Board. In many of these ap pointments many seers profess to see the fine Italian hand of former Governor O. Max Gardner, regarded as one of the President's most con fidential advisors. Governor Gard ner is reported to be enjoying one of the most lucrative practices in Washington. NOT BRAGGING—This infant column of news behind the news in North Carolina, not yet three months old, is now appearing in 52 newspapers in 38 counties of the State. You must admit that it's a good-sized youngster for its age. Al most every week some new paper starts publishing "Capital Keyholes." GOOD MONEY—If you don't live in the "tobacco belt" it would do your heart good to ride through the country and hear the expressions of happiness that come from the lips of farmers and see the smiles on their lips. Millions of dollars are flowing daily into their pockets and automobile salesmen are in their hey-dey. But the happiest of all probably is Governor Ehringhaus who went to bat for the tobacco growers with such decided success last year and has watched prices continually on the rise since. MUCH TALK—Raleigh recently dedicated its new $250,000 airport and aviation officials agree that it is one of the finest east of the Miss issippi river. It was a grand occa sion and everybody enjoyed it except the folk who stood on their own feet during all the speeches preceding the flying stunts. Aside comments indicated that Tar Heels would like more action and less talking at their celebrations. l Snakes, as a whole, are beneficial to mankind in that they destroy myriads of insects and rodents. Aston "At It" ****** .> NEWPORT, R. I. . . . There was an added attraction to the yacht races here, a fine family spat in public 'twixt young John Jacob As tor and his recent bride, the for mer Ellen Tack Freneh (above). It happened at dinner in a hotel, young Astor parting by the process of outrunning his bride and friends i who tried to catrh him. HELPED PRISONERS ESCAPE City court in Raleigh Friday bound L. O. Branch, Raleigh plumber, ov er to Wake county superior court on charges of helping two men es cape from state prison September 12. Branch, who was working at the prison prior to their escape, was charged with driving the escaping Why Hospitals Use a Liquid Laxative Hospitals and doctors have always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you need not take a "double dose" a day or two later. Nor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right dose of a liquid laxative brings a more natural movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or after. The wrong cathartic may often do more harm than good. A properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin brings safe relief from constipation. It gently helps the average person's bowels until nature restores them to regularity. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists kc:p ready for use. It makes an ideal family laxa tive; effective for all ages, and may be given the youngest child.
