Daniels Entry Would Bring On Bitter Campaign Rare For Governor Could Be Thr "Meanest" Political Rnttlr In Many Year*. „ (M K. Dunnagau, Star Nrm Bureau.) Raleigh, Nov, 28.—Political waters calm and serene for some months, except for occasional ripples and the big splash when Pitt county men asked Josephus Daniels to run lor Governor and his reply calling lor more time and reinforcements, may be expected to be considerably disturbed, soon after the beginning •f the New Year, even though eco nomic conditions may now be said to occupy the center of the stage, despite the spirit of the season. R. T. Fountain has made a few public appearances recently, con tinuing his attacks on some of the Democratic achievements and warn ing against some that are consider ed passible objects In the future. A J. Maxwell, also. Is making a few speeches, taking the Frdcral gov ernment to task for its tremendous extravagances, and calling for re duced costs In the State and its di visions. J, C. B. Ehringhaus has been quiet for some weeks, but is, presumably, letting no opportunity slip by to seek to win support for his candidacy. ivu uauicB rm county sup porters that his inclination was to remain in the editor's chair, but would give ear to their call. He usk ed tor more time before giving an swer. He pointed out that a Moses is needed to lead the State out of the wilderness, gave the qualifica tions of such a Moses and laid down a platform—or better—a highway for him to travel, "He must remove the 15-eent ad valorem tax on land, get the money where the money is’ and insure the education of the State’s children. If they will show him his duty, he will do it. Air. Daniels said, leaving himself free to run or not to run. Assurances of support and commit ments of leaders and voters may have their effect on his decision. With such assurances in sufficient quantities, many believe he will en ter the race. Many still oontend he has no Idea of running, but admit Ills statement apparently places him nearer than they had thought. It he does, it is generally conceded that It will be one of the "meanest” contests ever waged in North Caro lina, and will stir up more bitter ness and sectionalism than can not be allayed In a decade. It would, it is asserted, be a bitter, “to-the death,” "showdown" fight. "If they made him mad enough, he will run.” pne close to Air. Dan tela is quoted as saying weeks ago. He is unquestionably mad. Probably Jecision of Attorney General Brum nltt not to run had something to lo with it. Apparent inability so fur o get A. D. MacLean or someone ’Ise to run may add a little to the uel. Failure to get a special session if the General Assembly to restrict jy law cotton and tobacco acreage nay have fanned the flames.

"K,'’ local militia unit of the 120th Infantry, enjoyed an excellent banquet at the Shelby Mill Club house Wednesday night. Those at tending attested to a good time. The banquet was prepared by the Womans Club of the Shelby Mill under the able direction of Mrs, Sam Smith. Troop 3 Boy Scouls assisted the Womans Club and the proceeds will go to the benefit of their troop. First Sgt. Lawercnce Runyans act ed as toast master, called on the following men for talks: Sgt. Loy Hoffman for a talk on organizing a Non-Com club; Sgt. Uwella Grant for a talk on ways and means of the company helping in the charity drive; Corporal Grady Green for a talk on cooperation among tb" Non-Cotmnissioned Officers; Cor poral Ray Brown for a talk on how to increase the attendance of the company. After this plans were laid for the organizing of a club. All the men entered whole hearted ly into this discussion and it looks as if a good club will be organized. The following men attended th? banquet: Seargeants: Lawercnce Runyans, Loy Hoffmun, Forrest Warlick. Ben Wilson, Uwella Gran*', Willie Wright, Andrew Baker, Ar thur McKee. Corporals: Ray Brown Purvis Barret, Grady Green, Fores' Grayson. Brooks Williams, Earnest Carter, William Huffman Hope To Complete New Prison Camps In Next 60 Days On* Of four 100-Man Camp* Being Erected At Shelby. Modern System. Raleigh, Dec. 28.—Five of the eleven new prison camps being built by the state highway commission will probably be completed within the next 30 days, while the remain der will be ready In about 60 days, according to W. Z. Betts, assistant director of the division of purchase and contract, in charge of all pur chasing for the highway commis sion. Three camps have already been completed—one each In Marion Morganton and Raleigh—while four more camps have just been author ised by the commission, making a total of 18 camps either completed tinder construction or to be con structed soon, at a cost of about $300,000. The eleven camps now under con struction are being built entirely by the highway commission, since it was unable to obtain contracts at all near the price at which It could build them, according to Mr. Betts. By purchasing the material needed for the 11 camps at one time and in one order, the highway commis sion was able to get very low prices on many materials. As a result, the new camps will cost only from $12, 000 to $14,000. depending on the slae of the camp, Instead of .from $15,000 to $18,000. the estimated cost under private contract. The labor used in the construc tion of these camps however. Is al most entirely local lnbor employed from the immediate communities, Mr. Betts pointed out. As a result, the Immediate communities are profiting, more than would have been the case had the camps have been erected by private contractors. Some materials have also been pur chased locally. Of the 11 camps under construc tion, seven are for 75 prisoners each with quarters for superintendent and guards, while four are for 100 nrisoners each, All the new camps are of modern iesfgn. with the sleeping quarters >f fireproof brick construction, vith adequate shower baths and ■oilet facilities. The prison regula ions now require all prisoners to be •lean shaven every day. with hair :ut regularly. Tlte seven 75-man camps now tin ker construction are near Warren on, Warren county: Hazelwood, Haywood county: Jackson, North ampton county, Siler City, Chatham county; Kenansville. Duplin county Oxford, Granville county, and Mar ion, McDowell county. The four 100-man camps are near Shelby, Cleveland county: Newton, Cataw ba county; Mount Pleasant, Cabar rus county and Fayetteville, Cum berland county. New camps have been authorized, but work lias not started in Lenoir, Robeson, Beau fort and Orange counties. These will all be 75-man camps with the ex ception of Robeson, which will be a 100-man camp. When these remaining 15 camps are completed, the state highway commission will ha\e. witlj the three already completed and occu pied, 18 of the most modern prison camps located in strategic positions in each of the five maintenance districts, from which prisoners can be easily transported to any point they may be needed Hope "’Kid !9,‘J2" Gets Him in First Round Mythical Grid Title at Stake in Classic Ernes* Bnckertt ' Jerry Daipympi e Oruiuc Mokler ?-4 mm *53 Kowe Fects. cJohn Baker, i t L 7» T jriairpn lanni mere it such a thing as - j *«• football championship «f these United States the question of I who rate* the title will be settled in the Ro*e Bowl at Pasadena, Calif., January let. There Tulane meets Southern California in the annual i anneal classic Recognised titleholders of the South, the New Orleans ■'Sgregation meets in Southern California one of the strongest teams in intercollegiate football history. This clash also brings together probably the greatest number of All-America selections e*er to appear in one game. TuUne boasts its famed captain, Jerry Dairymple, Don Zimmerman and Nollie Felts, while the Trojans point with pride to Johnny Baker, Ernie Pinckert and Ore Mohler. TuUne has gone! through the season untied and undefeated but Southern California lost an early game to St. Mary's. This upset, however, is buried in the Trojan's lemarkable record, including the victory over Notre Dame and the smashing of Georgia, 60 to 0. Eighty thousand fortunate football fanatics will witness the battle. Tulane Line, Believe It Or Not, Heavy As California’s; Bierman Says Green Wave Will Lose 28-7 California Baekflrld, However, Much Larger Than Southern Ball Carriers. . (Paul Jones in Asheville Citizen) More than otic expert observer ol! the Georgia-Southern California combat two weeks ago stated that! the difference in weight of tlie two forward walls was the biggest fac tor In the Trojan's crushing victory ' But no one has given the Tulan>\ outfit much credit for having tv power-house line as heavy at its New Year's Day foe and a back- • field almost as good. we win acinus mat irom a.:ii angles the Trojans should have the! best of t he argument when they i meet the Green Wave. But we ab-! solutely will not go back on Birf man’s team and say that it hasn’t a chance to win. Coach Blerman has gone Knutt Rockne one better by giving out the score by which he thinks' team will be defeated. Knute used to say "a couple of touchdowns' of something like that Just why - no one seemed to know. Perhaps Bierman thinks his boys will un ravel a great offensive attack in their final contest just because he thinks they sould lose. 28 to 7. Southern California's line will average over 190 pounds to the man When it lines up New Year’s Day The Tulane line will average 195 pounds. In the backfield, however, the Trojans are considerablerablv heavier. Musick tips the scales at about, 200 pounds and Ernie Pin* kert, the star halfback. weighs about the same. Mallory is just a little guy weighing 180 but Shaver considered by many the country-' best quarterback < Wood included) will pull about 190 on anybody's scales The Tulane backfield Will aver age about 170 pounds Bon Zim merman. the "passing fool." weigi t 178, Pelts weighs 185, Dawson 105 j and Payne 175. Lemmon, another! fullback likely to see service weighs, 180. Before the Georgia game it was said that the game would be wen or last in the line—a favorite ex pression but: true in many respects Well, just take these for compari son : Tulane Pas.

It is understood that the boys with money are giving Tulane 12 points and sometimes 20 points. It, may be a good bet—and a safe one. But take out the Georgia game and look at Southern Cali fornia. They beat Notre Dame in a great finish after Anderson had substituted practically every man on the field. It doesn't take such a great club to do that. And don’t let anybody tell you that the Trojans are 60 points better than Georgia—or 40 points— and we might Rdd, or 20 points.
