Graham, Division Passenger Agent, CHARLOTTE. N. C. the idol of this country was a pre cedent smasher named Andrew Jackson, Each century wants an Old Hickory. Oovernor Murry pro pose* to be the Jackson of the Twentieth. In a time when the people are murmuring against hard times, and communism comes tor word with its lure, a tme but con stitutional proletarian must needs arise. The Oovernor of Oklahoma gazing in the mirror, sees that tri bune of 1932, He will offer a plat form. He will fight for it on the convention floor. He will accept the nomination—or will take thit for Vice President—if it should be offered. Here is a reasonable explanation To the Governor, known variously among his people, according to the nature of their crops, as "Alfalfa Bill” and "Cocklebur Bill.” nothing in politics seems impossible He is somewhat Justified in his belief. After he left Congress, where his drooping mustachlos swept the aisles 'and his roars shivered the glass in the celling of the House chamber, he started a colony of farmers In Bolivia. When this failed he 're turned to Tlshlmingo and bided his time. Ten years after his supposed political death Mr. Murray was Oov ernor again. As one of the chief authors of the crazy-quilt Consti tution of Oklahoma, “Alfalfa Bill” knows how to cavort spectacularly but within the law. Unlike hts predecessor, he is not likely to be Impeached. He will probably reach the next National Convention with the strength of the State behind him. In a land swept by drought, gnawed by grasshoppers, devoured by army worms and crushed by: business languor, Oovernor Murray is as a cool, brawling stream. It makes a Irnid and agreeable noise. And the fact that it isn't going anywhere in particular does not rob the brooklet of its charm -__ Asserts CooKdge May Run In 1932 Ex-White House Physician Declares "t Do Not Choose to Run” Was Misinterpreted. St. Paul.—Calvin Coolidge will bo a candidate for President In 1932 If the people express decisively a desire to draft him to meet the economic situation, according to Colonel James r. Coups!, former White House physician, who Is quot ed In a copyrlghter article in The St. Paul Dispatch. Dr. Coupal asserted that President Coolidge never intended to remove himself unconditionally from the Presidential field when he issued his famous "I do not choose to run ’ statement In 1927 and that he "was hurt and disappointed ' when its meaning was misinterpreted .“but having been misunderstood, he felt possibly that there was a stronger man and refused to correct the mis understanding*’ “President Coolidge would have| loved to be the third-term President of the United States." Dr. Coupal said. "He was not disgusted with public office, as some have Inti mated." In his "I do not choose" state ment Mr, Coolidge simply wished, In compliance with his own extreme sense of Justice, to cast aside any advantage that his presence in ths White House might give him and permit the people to choose another man If they preferred, Colonel Cou pat said. “I want to emphasise the fact that the desire to have him run I must be unquestionable and that there must be no strings attached to It. He would not consider it if there were to be political obliga tions to be paid to any one, or un less he be given a free hand with the means he believes can be brought into play to end the de pression and place the nation on a sound footing. "President Coolidge has the most highly developed sense of Justice and sense of his responsibilities and the keenest ability to sift the true from the false and the chaff of propaganda from the grain of con structive action that I have ever seen in another man. He also is the most inherently honest man I have ever known.” "Mr. Coolidge will run for Presi dent in 1932.” said Colonel Coupal, “if the people of this country evince an unmistakable and unquestion able desire to draft him to pull the country out of this period of de pression, and tf he can have the Presidency without any political cr other obligations attached to it.” Roosevelt’s Widow Celebrates Birthday Oyster Bay, L I., Aug. 6—Mrs. Edith Kermlt Roosevelt, widow of Theodore Roosevelt, twenty-sixth president of the United States, and who thirty years ago ruled as first lady of the land, is quietly observing her seventieth birthday today.

Editor of The Star; I have Just had the pleasure of meeting the mayor of Prescott, Ari zona, Mr. Bert Tilton, and several officials of the county and city, and while I have realised all along thati Prescott, la a wonderful city, I did j not know that there are so many fine people here. The mayor is a fine character of the pioneer stock and after having a long heart to heart talk with him I have come to the conclusion that It Is Indeed a privilege to live in Northern Arizona and especially In the city of Prescott. Prescott, Is known far and wide as possessing the best year-round cli mate in America and attracts num bers of people each year who value both climate and scenery and rub bing elbows with real 100 percent American citizens. Prescott is alsp known as "The Mile High Olty” be ing a little over 5,280 feet altitude It is frequently referred to as “The Friendly City” and this slogan Is al ways lived up to by the good people of Prescott. It has been my experience upon frequent occasions when I visited a resort town to feel that I was being "gouged" by the business people whenever I bought something, and rooms that were worth about three dollars per week would cost about that much each day. But it's differ ent here In Prescott. You can rent a very comfortable cottage of sev eral rooms, furnished, and with lights and water for from ten to twentyfive dollars per month, and other things are in proportion. At no time will one feel that he is be ing done, and he will always feel at Go into any business place and the clerks or even the boss himself is always glad to talk to you regard less of whether you desire to make a purchase or not. To anyone desiring to spend a summer vacation far removed from the din and turmoil of the busy city and where the blankets at night can be tued to a good advantage and the heat during the daytime is negligi ble, and where the air is pure and invigorating, I have no hesitancy in recommending Prescott, Arizona, the Friendly City. Prescott is located on one of the most picturesque and scenic routes in the United States and is only a few' hours drive from the Grand Canyon of Arizona on highway 89. It ta on the Santa Fe railroad, Phoe nix and Kansas City line and there is good train service in and out dally. Prescott has two dally newspapers, The Evening Courier and Journal Miner, a Yavapai chamber of com merce that is active and served the entire county of one hundred miles square. William P. Stuart, a grad uate of Chapel Hill University and a native of North Carolina is owner and editor of The Evening Courier and his editorials are quoted throughout the entire southwest. Mr. Stuart is quite a factor in the city and has contributed much to wards making Prescott what it is to day. Prescott now has a population of almost 20,000 and when the people in the eastern sections of the Unit ed States learn what a wonderful flty it really is the population will increase. Over ten years ago the United States government took the cue and located their hospital No. 50 here, which is now officially known as United States Veterans hospital No. 50, and is one of the largest govern ment hospitals in the United States where veterans of all wars are treated for tuberculosis and other ailments caused from their war time service. Yavapai county of which Prescott is the county seat, is rich in min erals several large mines being lo cated within its confines. Stock raising is also one of the chief In dustries, and Prescott is known far and wide as being the home of the annual rodeo, which is held on July j 4th each year. Prescott only has four police of ficers and a small fore® of county officers. There has never been a crime wave hr this city. The people are law abiding and petty thievery is almost an unknown quantity. While the people in other cities of Arizona and other places are swel tering in the heat of 110 to 115 and sometime higher, Prescott residents are sleeping under blankets every night and comfortably wearing their coats during the days. Prescott is also in the heart of the best hunting area in the state and not so very far from the great Kal bab forest where deer abound. It is the ideal place for one to spend his vacation or to bring his entire family, and to anyone in the east suffering with lung trouble of any kind, this is the place to get well, and the cost is not near as ADMiNlSTaATOa’S NOTICE Having qualified as Administrator of the eMate of Mrs. Alice Clemmer Hatley, deceased, late of Cleveland County.

Two months ago, I came here on the verge of a nervous breakdown, suffering also from war time dis abilities. Today I feel fine and have just marched In the American Le gion parade which was held here in connection with their annual con vention which La taking place In this city at present. Thousands of le gionalres and their wives are here having the time of their lives and there’s a reason—Prescott is the most wonderful city and has the fin est climate of the entire country.

New Demands For Charity This Fall fGastonia Gazette) Mr. Average American might just as well get ready now to give just twice as much to charity this fall as he gave last fall. Allen T. Burns, executive director of the National Association of Com munity Chests and Councils, having completed a five-weeks’ study of 184 principal American cities and towns, reports that the relief burden next winter will be double that of last year. The demands on charity, in fact, will be so great that private philan thropy cannot possibly meet them, he says. City and county govern ments will have to make extensive appropriations if the need Is to be met. One of the things that makes the situation worse Is that private sav ings of the unemployed are becom ing exhausted. Jobless men who did not need help last winter will need a great deal of it this winter. The public will have to give as it has not given before Bertie County is said to have the best prospect for crops at this time that it has had in eight years. ~BANKRUPT SALE OF REAL ESTATE Pursuant to an order of the Referee tn Bankruptcy of the District Court of the United 8lates, for the Western District of North Carolina, the undersigned Trus tee. will sell at public Auction for cash I to the highest bidder at 12 o'clock Noon Ion Monday September 7th, 1931 . at the court houar door of Cleveland County In Shelby, North Carolina, the following de scribed property, situated in the heart ol the business section of Shelby, N C. and more particularly described as follows.

My name is John G— and I live down at Blounts Creek" "Any relation to Jim G—?" In quired the physician. “He Is my daddy,” replied John. “Been dead seven years last Mav I owe you some money, doctor, and I’ve come to pay you.' “Well, I hate to turn dpwn cash' replied the doctor, “but I don’t re member that I ever have rendered you any medical service.” "Yes, you have," disagreed the visitor. “Y ou rendered me a mighty Important service. You helped bring me into the world. I’m twenty-one years old today, and I just found out yesterday that my father had never paid you for the visit you made to our house. Mother told me about it last night, “We were talking about my birth day last night, and we both made up our minds that the best way we could observe it would be to pay that old bill of yours. How much Is it?” Dr. Nicholson told the young man he couldn’t recall the fee for such a service 21 years ago. “but let's call it $35 and settle it at that." John pulled out a roll of bills, peeled off $35 and the two men shook hands. Dr. P. A. Nicholson, M. D., then changed his opinion of human na ture.
