Gardner Visits
Capital; Meets
Speaker Garner
Governor Anil O. M. Mull Special
Guests At l.uncheon In
Washirifcton.
Washington, Jan, 22.—Governor
Gardner and O. M. Mull, chairman
of the Democratic state committee
were here Wednesday on their way
to Raleigh from New York, wnere
they had been on business for the
•‘’late. They were guests at a lurch -
eon given for them by the members
of congress from the state. They
conferred with the senators and
representatives about conditions in
the state, and the prospect of
Democratic victories in November.
They believe that the Democratic
nominee for President will carry
North Carolina by a tremendous
majority over President Hoover or
any other Republican. They are
pleased with the political outlook.
Mr. Gardner said he had no spe
cial business here and that there
was no political significance to his
visit, but just stopped over to pay
his respects to the Democrats. He
and Mr. Mull were presented to
Speaker Garner by Representative
Warren.
Messrs. Gardner and Mull spoke
ol conditions in New York and other
states, and said “'that North Caro
lina is better off than any of them,"
and looking to the near future for
better times.
"Prom what I have seen," said
Mr. Muli, “our state n better~Off
titan any other.”
While in New York Mr. Gardner
spoke to a distinguished group of
actors. He said they and others, in
cluding Republicans, were very se
vere in their criticism of the presi
dent. He saw many old-line Repub
licans who are eager for a change
of administration here.
Governor Gardner thinks that
the federal government should con
Inue road construction without
state aid. That would give employ
ment and relieve the states of a
great burden while they are in fin
ancial straits.
A determined drive for federal
funds to continue the road building
program is being made here at this
time by representatives of many
states. The Oddie bill, calling for
*125,000,000 for the fiscal year 1934
35, is being supported. Western
people are also demanding the re
tention of special appropriation -
for forest and public domain high
ways.

For Sheriff Of County
Laughridge, Webb
Seek Office
Roger Laughridge And Em Webb
Make Formally Announce
ment of Contest.
There are three announced
candidates for sheriff in Cleve
land county now. Roger Laugh
ridge announced early today
and just before presstime to
day Em. L. Webb, of Shelby,
announced his candidacy.
Roger Laughridge, widely known
Shelby business man and salesman,
formally announced today that he
would be a candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for sheriff of
Cleveland county in th? June pri
mary
Seeing Voi*r.-.
It had been known that Mr.
Laughridge and his friend.- had bene
feeling out sentiment for some time,
but no definite statement was made
until today.
“My friends, ' he said this morn
ing. "think it is the appropriate
time for me to anndtmce and I am
doing so. Travelling about the coun
ty I have found that my proposed
candidacy has met with favor and
I have definitely made up my mind
to seek the office.”
Life-Time Democrat.
The new candidate and his entire
family are widely known. Mr.
Laughridge has lived in Shelby for
24 years and in this section prac
tically all of his life. With the ex
ception of being a member of the
Shelby school board he has held no
other public office. He hae support
ed and voted the Democratic ticket
all of his life and has teen a loyal
worker for the party.
For years Mr. Laugniidge lias
been a salesman for the A. Blanion
wholesale grocery firm and in his
work has covered practically all of
the surrounding territory and is
known in ai! sections.
He is an active member of the
Central Methodist church, te mar
ried and hew -fcnir ehfMren. * -
Webb In
At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon, Em,
L. Webb announced himself a can
didate for sheriff in the face that
now is sure of four contestants—Ir
vin Allen, Raymond Cline. Roger
Laughridge and Mr. Webb.
10 Percent Salary Cut
Mr. Webb's main platform plank
will be to serve the office, if elect
ed for the next term, at a ten per
cent salary reduction. Says he
"Realizing the conditions of the
times, I will remit ten per cent of
the salary of sheriff to the county
for the next term, if elected. I do
not think the office should be nut
on the auction block, but I do this
because it has been recommended
that all state, county and city of
ficials cut their salaries ten per cent
and the teachers have already been
cut. I feel that tax payers have a
right to expect their public offi
cials to serve at less money than
formerly and, if elected, I propose
to give the office my whole time
and faithfully perform all duties
the office calls for.”

I Columbia, S. C„ Jan. 22 - The au

North Carolina and South Carolina
has come to an end.
It terminated here in a reciprocal
, agreement signed by Ben M Saw
yer, chief highway commissioner of
South Carolina, and E. B Jeffress,
chairman of the North Carolina
highway commission.
Under the agreement, automobiles
licensed, in one state may operate
Continuously for a& long as 90 day#
in the other state without re-li

The compact is identical to one
/
entered into with Georgia va fev
weeks ago except the Georgia agiee
ment, specified 30 days continuous
operation instead of 90. '
Both arguments prgyide that
trucks or other motor vehicles
hauling products from the farm to
market ahd licensed in one state
may operate in the other state.
This was one of the bitter issues in
the “tag war" between North Car
olina and South Carolina.
Trucks operated by business
houses to transport their own goodo

state trips each month. Motor ve

Major Topic Over
Shelby This Week
Upinion Fairly Well Divided As

breaks out as a topU more
widely discussed than any event
other than general city elec

Judging by street talk and the
numerous controversies heard all
about the city, opinioft is pretty well
divided, although close observers
maintain that opposition to the sale
has as yet the strongest sentiment
It is a matter of speculation wheth
er or not the proposed sale will be
Offered to the voters in a special
election, but the comparative rates:
published this week are being dis
cussed from the viewpoint of a pos- ]
sible election. Both sides of the
controversy are advancing strong
arguments supporting their position!
and present indication'} are that it
will be at warm fight before it is
ended. Since publication of the com
parison of city rates and S. P, u.j
rates numerous citizens, some for
and other against the sale, have
wondered why the aldermen in their
report did not mention what they1
found on their visits to ether Worth

several other towns were made to

Opinion Of Former Shelby Man
Same As Held By Widely Quoted
Political Writer For Collier’s
“Gentlemen It <ve>hulc Says
Dawes Best O, O. P. B*l. Fur
tnnr Thinks So.
J. B. Fortune, fcnrni Shelby
postmaster amt RepUTjlicau loader
in Cleveland county, now a resi
dent of Chicago, wrote The star
this week that In >iis opinion Chax.
O. Dawes was the beat hat for- the
Republican presidential nomination.
Hoover, Mr. Fortune, added would
lose. Those who read his commun
ication noted a day letter that tne
widely-quoted political writer for
Colliers magazine. "the Gentle
man at the Keyhole,' expressed
practically the same opinion In
this week’s Issue of the magazine
Dawes, the Collier's writer said
has a surprising strength in the
Middle West atid a number of state
will go to the Republican conven
tion to support him. He added
that 0. O. P. leaders in many states
are afraid Hoover cannot win again,
and some of them are admitting it.
He also ventured the opinion that
several of the states who select
their favorite candidate in a pri
mary will send delegations to the
Republican convention instructed
for Dawes instead of Mr. Hoover.
Those views are almost identical
with the opinions of the former
Shelby Republican, and Mr For
tune lives in Illinois where he can
hear first-hand the sentiment of the
people in the Mid-West In his
communication to The Star, he said
among other things:
“But if Dawes will not allow his
name to be entered in the primary
and will not agree to be the candi
date. and if the politicians and of
ficeholders go ahead and renomi
nate Mr. Hoover, and the Democrats
nominate either one of tire three
men I named, the Republican party
is defeated before they get started.
I said in 1802 that If Ben Harrison
was renominated he would be de
feated. He was.
“I said In 1912 that if Taft was
re-nominated he would be defeated.
He was. Now I say If Hoover is re
j nominated he will be defeated worse
I than he defeated A1 Smith in 1928.
ff the Democrats will nominate
either one o( the three men I will
ed Oh a liberal platform they will
carry New York, New Jersey, Illi
nois and the solid south ‘‘
The Collier's writer added Kan
sas and other normally Republican
states to the list that preferred
Dawes to Hoover, and added that
failure to get Dawes has brought tile
fear to leaders that these states
fflay switch to the Democratic col
umn. The very similar views of the
former Shelby man, now living In
Illinois, and the nationally known
political writer have caused quite a
bit of comment.

Chicago Asks For
School Facts From
Shelby City System
Better .Schools League Seeks la
fnnimUoii On Central Pur
chasing Plan.
A request. ha,- come to Shelby
from Chicago asking for facta about
the benefits or disadvantages of the
central purchasing agency plan h r
schools advocated and put through
the last legislature by Governor
Gardner
The request for information wat
sent to B. L. Smith, city superin
tendent, by the Better Schools Lea
gue, Inc., of Chicago
The main inquiries were about the
central purchasing agency whereby
all school materials and necessities
are purchased in wholesale lots ia
order to secure lower prices.
"Has this plan brought about a
reduction in your Shelby school
budget?” was one question
“Has it been a handicap in any
way in school activities and is the
economy such as to be appreciat
ed?” was, in meaning another
query
Favorable Reply
Supt. Smith made a reply that
was favorable to the new plan. "H
Is unusual." he said, "to have such
a long-distenpe request, and I was
pleased that we could make a fav
orable reply. The central purchas
ing agency has enabled us to cut
the local budget and as far as I can
see It has In no way handicapped
the schools in saving tax-payers
money. I consider it quite a tribute
that Governor Gardner’s business
like move is attracting so much
outside interest."
