A modern system of book-keeping

is being installed at the city hall by

Men have come to Cleveland from
other counties to investigate this
modern system which works so well
in Cleveland that other counties
have installed similar systems.
Budget Control System.
This new system gives the books

management of the city can know at
the close Tof each day’s business just
how every account is running. It
is especially valuable in a control
of the budget. The city for a num

Likely Candidates
For U. S. Senate Now
Greensboro Paper Predict* Man;
Candidates for Overman’s
Senate Seat.
Will Cleveland county have two
candidates far the United States
senate in 1932? One, or none at all?
Discussing likely successors to
Senator Overman, the Raleigh New s
and Observer notes tha tthe Greens
bor News expects at least nine catu
didates, and among the nine named
are Governor Gardner and Clyde R
Hoey, of Shelby. The News and Ob
server editorial comment follows:
i “Who will get the thimble? In an
address to the Guilford County Dem
ocratic convention last week, A. h.
Brooks suggested that North Caro
lina might furnish a candidate for
President in 1933, naming Gover
nor Gardner and Josiah Bailey for
that great office. The News suggests
that there will be nine candidates
for the senate Jn 1932 to succeed
Senator Overman. It names Brooks,
Morrison, Gardner, Bowie, Bulwin
kle, Hoey, Murphy, Reynolds, which
with Overman, would make ten. And
there is Bob Dougliton and Weaver
others who may throw their hats
in the ring.
“One thing is sure: There will be
no short crop of candidates.”
