(International Newsreel) Paper Discusses Naming Gardner State Governor Wilmington Star Says Shelby Man Was C hosen Ity "While Collar” K.lrnifnt The -following from The Char lotte Observer of yesterday discuss ing a recent editorial in The Wil mington Morning Star will be read with a good deal of interest and some amusement, by Governor Gard ners countless friends In Cleveland county: ' "It is about time Tar Heel Dem ocrats are permitted to select their own governor." This amazing state ment is quoted from The Wilming ton Star, a newspaper with a long and consistent record of loyalty to the Democratic party. The Star had lust remarltcd thqt. "No Democrat In North Carolina, ns an individual, had the slightest choice in selecting the present governor of North Car olina* Quite possibly, Mr-. Gardner would have won, had he been face I with the stilfest kind ot opposition At tire same time, the one-gaHus lads would have felt better about h had the white-collar bosses permit ted them a vote in the matter.”' "Our Wilmington contemporary ot course refers to the fact that Gov ernor Gardner had no opposition last, year for the Democratic nom ination Was that fact the fault cl Mr. Gardner or any of the “white collar bosses?" Most of us though*, and doubtless Governor Gardner will go to his death thinking that It was due to his political strength and popularity that he had no op position. Did he not test his strength along with the best and strongest of them in 1920, when he ran in the Democratic primary again*' Cam eron Morrison and Robert N. T ge.1 Did he not develop formidable poli tical strength when, in the first pri mary he ran only 87 votes behind Mr. Morrison hi the whole Mate when a total vote of approximately loO.OOO was polled? Did he no‘ again demonstrate his popular!'y and political strength in tlie secon I primary when Mr. Morrison defeat ed him by a margin of only a few thousand votes, considerably lesr than 10,000 a:: we remember it. after one of the hottest campaigns ever waged m North Carolina? ■'The fact is that it was the pop ularity and the political strength of Max Gardner as demonstrated in that memorable campaign of 19H0- - the voice of the individual Demo crats as expressed in that cam paign—that kept other Democrats from running agaiiist him last year It is idle to say that all the many other aspirants to the gubernatorial office conspired among themselves and with the'white collar basses" to stay out of the race and sacri fice the opportunity to gain the highest honor in the gift of the people. The truth is that Max Gardner was the choice of the 'one gallus lads’ and the rank and file of the 'white collar' Democrats, and that the ''bosses,” recognizing that fact, did not care to take chances on antagonizing the obvious will of the people. If no man would dare run against Oardner, who' is to bl >me? Certainly not he. The blame must be lodged against thpse who might have run against him bin didn't. There is no law, politi cal, moral or statute, to compel men to enter the race for the Demo cratic nomination even for the gov ernorship-' And the prize is too.grcit to l>e handed to Max Gardner or any other man by default on the part of ail other aspirants merely as a matter of courtesy, even among 'white-collar basses.’ "Why should the ‘one-gaUus lad.-.' or anybody else desire that, their favorite shall have opposition? Merely to furnish them the gratlfl } cation of having somebody to beat?" We can only hope that Boulder Dam will eventually supply an amount of electrical power equal to the total of natural pas it has al ready generated.—San Diego Union Fast Games Feature First Day's Play In County Loop Cleveland Citizens Give Sentiments (Continued From Page One) for an addition to the Shelby hospital, the foundation will supply a like sum. With the idea In mind of en deavoring to ascertain the sen timent of the people of the en tire county, The Star has ad dressed communication to many of them asking their views and replies are now be ing received. The letters in hand to date are reproduced in an adjoining column and as ( tliers are received, they will be published from time to time, so that the county commission ers of Cleveland county will be in position to estimate to some extent the sentiment of the peo ple as a whole. Here are the sentiments of a number of representative citi zens from over the county, dealing with the health appro priation propbsal: I am heartily in favor of the five cents levy in order to take advantage of the Duke offer. No county can afford to neglect the health of its citizens. C. L. FORNEY,tao C. D. FORNEY, Lawndale. T am In favor of charitable institutions for the poor who are unable to pay, if the ma jority wishes it. D. C. PRUETT. This lroks too good to let slip I say levy the five rents on the $100 (or our health, GEORGE L. CORNWELL. 1 have discussed the hospital lax question with several of our taxpayers, and they all seem to be opposed to the coun ty paying It. They think a hos pital should be privately own ed and managed like the one Lester Crowell has at Lin eolnton. He has made a won derful success and has done his own financing, and our people think the Shelby hospital could be run the same plan T. A. STAMEY, Fallston. t am very much in favor of the county commissioners levy ing thr necessary tax for hos pital improvements. J. R. DAVIS, Kings Mountain “Will we pay five cen's for • life and health?” Yes. In my opinion we could not afford to miss an opportunity like this. FOREST S. CROWDER. Replying to yours of 8th. T an: heartily in favor of the hospital movement. MIKE L. BORDERS. I favor the proposition of a five cents tax to secure the Duke endowment *for the Shel by hospital. It needs a matern ity ward and an Isolation ward for contagious diseases. Also the state aid for a health clinic and health officers for school children and the tax payers should stand for such a for ward movement for the health and well being of Jhe public. JAMES C. ELLIOTT, Lattimore, R-l. I understand that, the hos pital nreds more room. I am perfectly willing to pay my part of the taxes. W A. WARE. I am in favor of this proposi tion. I find some opposed and some in favor of it. but ! want a good hospital in our good county. A A. RICHARD. In answer to your letter I will say I am heartily in favor of our county commissioners making a levy of five cents on $100 property to match the $25, 000 Duke foundation offer. Also to match the amount the state offers for a county liealih of ficer and county nurse. ' A. T. MULL. In regard to the levy ol five cents on the $100 property I am for it. Think it the wise thing to do. W. W. COVINGTON, Lawndale, R-l. We are in favor of this prop osition. IVEY WILLIS. MRS. IVEY WILLIS, Lattimore. My answer is no. A C. EDWARDS. Nc! I pay enough tax now', and no one seems to want to help me in my chanty practice. W. T. ORIGG, MD. I am in favor or hospital en largement on the conditions set forth in the editorial. V. A. GARDNER. So far as I am concerned. I am willing for the five cents levy and think it very fitting. Z. R. WALKER, Lattimore. Big Crowds And Fast Games Seen As New Circuit Plays Initial Contest Here.

Sisk and Bolton, Lynching Unsolved In Mecklenburg Charlotte.—Mecklenburg lynching mystery remained unsolved today ar ter the coroner's jury wrestled with the problem an hour and one-half, returning a verdict that Willie Mc Daniel, •'came to his death of a broken neck caused by a person or persons unknown.” However, it was declared by Vic Fesperman, chief of rural police, and Jake Newell, attorney secured by friends of the negro, that the investigation will continue, and It is expected that the grand jury next week will look into it. McDaniel was found last Sunday morning in a patch of woods, face down. Examination by p physician on the county health staff revealed broken neck bones and abrasions on the wrists, as if his hands had been tied. Mell Grier, white fanner near Newell, on whose place McDaniel lived, and with whom McDaniel had had an altercation Saturday after noon, was the principal witness at the hearing today. McDaniel disap peared soon after the altercation. Grier said that there was a row between him and the negro over “b question of payment for services and said that when the negro broke away after the fight he went into his house for his gun, but by that time the negro had gotten out of range. Soon after that, Grier con tinued. he went among the negro houses to look for feed for mules, and took his gun along He said he did not see McDaniel, although he searched for him. He said he retir ed at 9:30 Saturday night and was awakened the next mowig whea a negro awoke him to tell him that McDaniel's body had been found. The farmer has uneasy moments when he thinks G.

C., July 13—The first week in August will see the completion of an engineering fear, which for the past year has center ed the eyes of the world on this early American seaport city, where so much history has been made. On August 8, traffic will begin to move across the three mile long, double Cantilever span Cooper river bridge which is higher than the Brooklyn bridge and is in itself the largest bridge of its kind in the world. A mammoth opening celebra tion will begin on that day. With the opening of the Cooper river bridge the highway router from the far north to the far south eventually will be shortened by sev cral score miles. With the propos ed improvement shortly of the highway along the Atlantic coast from Washington to Charleston the road over the Cooper river bridge will eliminate in that distance j minimum of forty miles for the autoist. The bridge not only serves to shorten the distance to Charles ton but serves to open up a hither to undeveloped and fertile agricul tural and potentially wealthy in dustrial area to the west. Costing approximately $6,000,000, the Cooper river bridge is unlike any other cngfcieerimg project else where in the world as to size, length, heighth and design. The massive Cooper river bridge is formed of 14,500 feet of steel structural work and is in reality two connected Cantilever bridg. .5 over two bodies of water, the Cooji er river and Town creek. It rises from the west bank of Town creel: and after attaining its height at a grade of less than 6 per cent drops to within fifty feet of the water, curves to the right and begins an other ascent of 5 per cent until the heighth of the Cooper river spa i is reached. It then drops and takes a curve on the trestle leading into the roadway approach.
