Thought That McLean Would Sup-!
port Morison For Senate.
1936 Governor.
(By M, K. DUNNACJAN.)
Raleigh, Dec, I.—As the smoke
of the 1930 political battle clears
away, the stage, all set for 1932,
appears, and the 1936 contests
in the offing. • Included in the
1932 contests will be those for
, the U. S. senate, the governor
ship, his lieutenant, the attor
ney general, and others, while
the 1936 governorship race is be
ginning to take form.
Senator Lee 8. Overman has an
nounced his candidacy To succeed
himself. Former Governor Cameron
Morrison has announced his opposi
tion. Robert R. Reynolds. Asheville
and Frank D. Grist, commissioner
of labor and printing, have given
intimation of possible candidacies.
Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby, mentioned
frequently, has said nothing. Gov
ernor Morrison's friends doubt if
Senator Overman will finally run,
but think their candidate would
have not trouble in defeating on
the "new and younger blood" idea.
Former Governor A. W. McLean, it
is generally understood, will support
the only other member of the N. C.
ex-Governor club, despite splits in
uie past. umer supporters or eeiiH
tor Simmons in the June primary
may or may not follow Governor
McLean. If Mr. Hoey should enter
the race, which many doubt, he
would cause trouble, plenty of it.
While the 1932 governor’s race
may be said to be in status quo,
things are heading for the 1936 race.
Thomas C. (Tam) Bowie, Jefferson,
while not inclined to, go by the At
torney general office route, will, un
der normal conditions, be a guber
natorial candidate in 1936. A. H.
<Sandy) Graham, Hillsboro, is ex
pected to keep his contacts and
friends by running for lieutenant
governor in 1932, with an idea of
stepping up into the governor’s chair
in 1936. Judge Thomas L. Johnson,
now of Asheville, retired from the
1932 race with the apparent purpose
of entering the 1935 contest.
D. F. Giles, Marion, and W. F.
Wood, also of Marion, are prospects
for the lieutenant governor’s race
With Mr. Graham, With Mr. Bowie
definitely out, the prospects for the
1932 attorney general race include
I. ST. Bailey, attorney for the N. C.
Corporation commission; Charles
Ross, attorney for the N. C. highway
commission, and Kenneth C. Royail,
Goldsboro. Doubt that Mr. Royail
will run and Intimation that anoth
er unnamed candidate will enter this
race are being expressed. All of
these contests have interesting pos
sibilities.

Quartet Bound
Over In Store
Robbery Charge
White Men Charged With Robbing
Two Stores In Shelby
Recently.
Four white men were bound
over to superior court under a
heavy bond after being given a
preliminary hearing in county
court tt^is morning on store rob
bery charges.
The quartet was charged with cn- j
tering and robbing the J- C. Pen-;
ney store aiid the Lily mill store or
receiving goods taken from the two
stores. They were Jack Bolick, of
Catawba county, Ernest Parker
• alias Ernest Stewart) of Asheville;
Everett Dale, of the Dover mill vil
lage, Shelby, and Chas. Kaylor, of
Highland village. Hickory;
Bolick. Parker and Dale were
placed under a bond of $2 000 each,]
and Kaylor under a bond of $1,000
The latter was arrested Saturday at
Highland by Deputy Bob Kendrick.
The three others were arrested by
Lincolnton police at Lincolnton one
night last week, goods taken from
the two Shelby stores being found
in their possession. The Lily mill
store was robbed a week ago tonight,
and the Penney store was robbed of
more than $1,000 worth of goods
several weeks ago
Use Two Witnesses.
Dale, Parker and Bolick waved
preliminary examination this morn
ing and only two witnesses, Kaylor
and Sheriff Allen, were used by the
prosecution. Kaylor when arrested
Saturday was wearing one of the
suits taken from the Penney store
and told the court of being given
tire suit by the three others. He
knew nothing, he said, about the
robbery. Sheriff Allen told of con
versations he had with the three
others in which they admitted hav-j
ing had some of the stolen goods
but had not admitted anything
about the robberies.
Only a small quantity of the big!
haul taken from the Penney store |
has been recovered, but officers are
still investigating at different points
in this section where the trio has
been hanging out. At the time Dale,
Parker and Bolick were arrested in
Lincolnton they were said to be
driving a stolen car from South
Carolina on which were license
numbers alleged to have been stolen
Shelby.
Despite the fact that very little of
the loot had been found, officers
here think the arrest and jailing of
the quartet may slow up the store
breaking wave in this section

Preparing For Santa
Shelby streets were thronged Saturday with shop
pers from all sections of Cleveland and adjoining eoun-w
ties who were preparing for Santa Claus.
, All day long, particularly in the afternoon, local
stores were thronged with bargain hunters who sought,
and secured, the early pick of a big Christmas stock
brought in by Shelby merchants for the Yujetide trade.
This week the crowds will increase. Next week
they will be even larger. Enterprising Shelby mer
chants are prepared to take care of a record trade—but
it is more than a saying, that remark about the first
customers getting the best buys.

not yet reached the most Im
portant Item In their slate for
the day. that of naming a tn\
supervisor who will have charge
of the property revaluation work
in the county beginning In Jan
uary.
This official ia to be named at to
day's meeting, as Is required by the
state, and the commissioners wlii
likely make their appointment when
they get through the rush of hear
ing i.hr numerous delegations which
have been appearing before th
board all morning.
Hoad Commissioners.
A number of road, commissioner
were sworn in during the morning
session of the board, mott of which
was given over to hearing charity
appeals and Investigating comity
expenses.
Hoard Organised.
One of the first moves of tin*
board this morning was to re-organ
iae, all three of the commissioners
being re-elected in November. Mr.
A, E. Clino was again named chair
man with Mr. R, L, Weathers a>
vice-chairman.
There is very little conjecture as
tb who the tax .supervisor will be
Members of the board have discuss
ed the appointment very little in
public circles. When the supervisor
Is named he will have before him
quite a task. First of all he will
name assessors in each township for
the revaluation work, then he will
be required to go to Raleigh for
three days Instruction as to the
manner of handling the new assess
