County native and University of
North Carolina graduate, al
though he has now been succeed
ed by Brig. G)en. Sneed, accord
ing to Fox.
Fcx, formerly a resident of
Bethel Hill and a graduate of
Bethel Hill high school, is now in
the Air Corps and expects to re
ceive his wings at Las Vegas.
While at Denver, where his wife,
spent some time with hun, he
was greatly impressed with the
saenery, but that was before he
saw Salt Lake City, Utah, dur
ing a stop-over on, the way to
Las Vegas.
Thing that impressed Fox most
in Salt Lake City was the great
Morman temple, with hand-carv
jed stone walls, sixteen feet thick
at the base and tapering to six
feet at the top. Also beautiful'
I are the lake and the Stats house
j and tower, as well as the flowers
and the mountains.

Burlington, April 29. Forty
years is a long time to remem

be little doubt that on December
17, 1903, Alpheus Drinkwater was
handed a message which said
“Tests successful. Will be home
by Christmas,” signed Orville

at the moment was about to
freeze to death, because he had
tapped the coast guard telegraph
line out cm Kitty Hawk baech,
and set his Joey up on a box. The
wind was sweeping the teach
like nobody’s business.
Romancers have it another
way, but the feet is that Alpheus
tnd his telegraph machine were
out on the beach because one of
the navy’s first submarines had

RAT .EIOH, April 28. Former
Gov. Clyde R. Hoey late Tues
day afternoon declared unequi
vocally his candidacy for the
United States senate. He said it
in an easy 10 word telegram,
writing his announcement' on a
pad while the photographer
caught him in pose and repose.
Governor Hoey then talked in
formally and briefly to newspa
per and radio men expressing
his amazement at the number of
long distance calls, telegrams
jand letters which have come to
him since Former Gov. Max
Gardner took himself from the
same race.
• It was known by many news
papermen that Hoey had been
memoralized anew to get into
the gubernational race and when
Judge Warlick left that contest
the set conference of candidate
and scribes had double interest
i because it might produce an
angle on the governship, but
Governor Hoey settled that in a
few seconds. He will make the
senatorial race no matter who
else runs.
During the day Ex-Congress
man W. B. Umstead, of Durham,
was asked if he considers the
senatorial Yace as candidate. He
dec&rt<Ufe*t he might be inter-
if neither Hoey, Morrison,

it. Congressman Umstead is very
