Hale/gh "Round-up Old Friends — Among the House members who are returning to the General Assembly without Democratic opposition — and with prospects of weak, if any, Repub lican obstacles—are old friends of former governors, lieutenant governors, members of the legisla ture, and Democratic warhorses. We won’t attempt to name them all, but there is Noah Burfoot of Elizabeth City, who for many years was chairman of the board of county commissioners in Pas quotank; John F. White, the man with the black felt hat in Chowan, and who will be among the oldest members in the 1953 legislature— although White is still a young man; J. K. Doughton of Alleghany, sixtyish, but nevertheless a nep hew of Congressman Bob and one of the most able legislators in North Carolina or elsewhere; Sam Worthington of Pitt, the rules committeeman and rules expert; Joe Branch, young but experienced, Halifax; John Umstead of Orange, brother of William B., and friend of education; Larry Moore of Wilson, who has held about every important position in the House except speaker; Ben Fountain of Edgecombe; William B. Rodman of Beaufort, who es tablished his name in the state senate, but served with distinction in the 1951 House; David P. Dell inger of Gaston, who sometimes fills in so creditably as reading clerk and is a candidate for speaker; and R. Lee Whitmire of Hendersonville, good friend of For Athlete’s Foot Use T-4-L for 3 to 5 days. If not pleased, your 40c back. Watch the old tainted skin slough off to be replaced by healthy skin. Get instant-drying T-4-L from any druggist. Now at Black Mountain Drug Co. Harry Buchanan and anything from the mountains, and sure to be one of the powers in the 195d General Assembly. There are other veterans who will have smooth sailing, but these are the more prominent, interest ing, or both. A Hot One — One of the hot test races in the state involves Joe Curruthers of Greensboro and Arthur Kirkman of High Point. Each man is well known in Dem ocratic circles, each is prominent statewide. Both are interested in repre senting Guilford county in the State Senate next year. If memory is not astray, Kirk man has not served in tbe State Senate. He is a veteran, however, on the House side. Curruthers has not only served in the Senate, he has played leading roles in out door dramas of statewide signifi cance, like in 1948 when he man aged Bill Umstead’s race for the U. S. Senate. Kirkman filed at the last minute; and it’s going to be strictly blackgum, or “hlaggum”—to use the toothbrush term—against hickory from here on in. Kirkman will have hefty sup port from organized labor, with some educational support, and a following from other groups in that corner of the lot. Curruthers should have the backing of big and little business, generally speaking, with solid support from the middle-of-the-road elements of the Democratic party. Braking — An Umstead and an Olive supporter were having it out on a street corner here the other day. They had it back and forth for a full ten minutes, neither getting the better of it until the Umstead rooter tried to end the discussion with a beauty; “My that’s what I call REAL Coffee! i t / n7 7 It’s the flavor . . . de licious, vigorous flavor produced from our own blend, or combination of coffees, that makes JFG Special so much in de mand. You, too, should try it. man isn’t a conservative. And, another thing, lie is not a liberal. I’ve always regarded Bill Umstead as being a progressive—a pro gressive with the brakes on. That was too good to drop right there. “That’s exactly the way I look at Hubert Olive," said his old fiiend over his shoulder as they parted company. Fifth Column — They had just heard William B. Umstead in one of his important speeches and, feeling good, were downstairs with the crowd which had come out to hear the candidate taking on with the potato chips, cheese crackers, and the other offerings. As one of them moved down the table, he lifted gingerly with finger and thumb from the dish a choice it em. It happened to be a stuffed olive. “Now how in the devil did those things get in here?” he inquired. Oil — The remark reminded some folks present of a recent quote attributed to Governor Scott to the effect that what some of his friends needed most was olive. Out The Vote—Executive secre tary of the Raleigh Merchants bureau is G. Wesley Williams. Al though only about 30 years of age, Williams is recognized by the Na tional Retail Drygoods association and the American Retail federa tion as one of the leading trade association executives in the United States. He took over the Raleigh Merch ants bureau ten years ago when its office was in the rear of the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce headquarters. Now it has a hand some three-room suite in the cen ter of Raleigh’s business district. Its budget this year, including the Raleigh Trade fund, will run in the neighborhood of $50,000.
