Schafer retorted that Garner "who has been condemning the delay in the reorganization of the executive departments also voted for $24,000, 000 to be given the executive, with out restriction, for the purpose of dry law enforcement” “I want to call the attention ot the cpuntry to this,” Blanton said, "that William Randolph Hearst. a notorious wet, endorses the man I1 nominated and this morning one of the great drys in the United States : William G.

Cline Boosted For State Job Chairman Of Cleveland Commis '""■m oners Spoken Of As Candidate For Auditor. / It was learned here over the week end that A. E. Cline, for several years chairman of the Cleveland county board of commissioners and court auditor, is being boosted by friends over the State as a candi date for State Auditor. Mr. Cline received considerable State notice several years ago when Chas, M. Johnson, of the State Ad visory Commission, declared that county governmental system as worked out In Cleveland by Mr. Cline and associates was the best in the State. The business manage ment plan was prased for getting results In lowered taxes. Later the Cleveland man was appointed to Advisory Commission so that his ex perience here could aid other coun ties. Still later he was elected presi dent of that Association of North Carolina County Commissioners and in his address to the convention last year pointed out that a county cannot cut taxes without cutting expenses by saying ‘‘no’’ to many requests. His economy pi*»a won him new advocates. What effect the boom for State Auditor will have upon the Cleve land commissioner Is not known.

Dan Cupid Finds Leap Year A “Washout” For His Business The merchant who has experienc ed dull business days on Saturdays knows exactly how Dan Cupid, the match-maker, feels as he trims his bow and arrows In the Shelby sec tion and Just waits. Leap Year, ord inarily the boom year In Cupid's business, has so far been of the “wash-out” variety to the match maker. The first month of the year seem ed to get off with a flying start, or what has come to be a flying start since Cleveland couples began marrying in South Carolina instead of in their home county. Eight cou ples secured marriage license in Shelby during January. The girls may have done some proposing, or the boys may have beat them to their Leap-Year privilege. Anyway, eight couples secured licenses and were married. The outlook was pretty bright for young Dan Cupid. Eight times 12, he may have ruminated to himself, totals 96. In the spring, when a man’s fancy turns that way and meets a girl’s fancy going the same way, marriages naturally pick up. Figuring it on that basis there will be over 100 marriages In Cleveland this year—somewhat like it was in the old days. But after January the leap Year novelty began to wear off. There's only week of February left and only three couples have secured license in the county so far during the month.
