Those Democrats who have been talking sa much
about “beer b.v Christmas” should slow up long enough
to remember that lOL’K talk about a chicken in every pot.
Charlotte raised $40,000 in two days of the relief
campaign there. That should be a challenge to Shelby
people Who always relish athletic and political clashes
with the Queen City,
More than two-thirds, of the prisoners' sent to work
upon North Carolina highways during the. last year were
under 30 years of age. Is or is not that a challenge of
home-training?
The average person will lie glad the Libby Holman

by the courts, but if the evidence was so unconvincing
as to cause the matter to be dropped, why was it ever
carried into the courts?
'** * A HARD BLOW, KI T—
The entire county sympathizes with Kings Moun
tain in the loss by fire of the town’ s high school build
ing. Coming at such it time the loss will lie felt more
keenly than in more prosperous years. It is a time
when school districts are having a hard task of carrying
on without having a new burden heaped upon them.
Hut it is encouraging and cheering io note that Kings I
Mountain citizens are taking il with chins tip and a
strong determination to provide new buildings,.. "Sure,
we’re going to rebuild just as soon as insurance matters
are adjusted,” is the report from the eastern Cleveland
town, and the tone of the declaration is such as to make
it clear that a new building will In- erected.
HILL WRAY
The people of the Shelby section knew and admired
Bill Wray almost as much, if not as much, as the moun
tain section in which he lived tor many years. They
along with his mountain friends can endorse the follow
ing tribute by The Charlotte Observer, a paper that
thought much of the late Burnsville citizen and of the
section in which he lived:
Mr. William B. Wray, who, for many years past, op
erated a hotel at Burnsville, was accustomed to reply to
any question asked as to his age. that he was born "in
the surrender year.” which was in 1865. He was one of
the most loyal of North Carolina citizens and through
out his life lived up to the finest traditions of the old
South, which may be well taken to mean that he was a
gentleman of the finest quality. He was particularly in
terested in the unavailed-of resources of the Stale and
his hotel lobby was a veritable museum of North Caro
lina minerals and gems. He was one of the mountain
section’s most active advocates of good roads and lived
to sec bis section come into enjoyment fo the facilities
he had so long fought for. In his death mountain North
Carolina loses a citizen of sterling worth—indeed, his
death might be regarded as a loss to the State.
no IT IN THREE DAYS!
Three days of next week have been set as the date
far the raising of Red Cross and charity funds for re
lief work here this winter. The days are Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday, and if Shelby people measure up to
their record of the past the necessary quota " ill be rais-,
ed during the three days.
Before the campaigners become active Monday, all
should be reminded that there " ill not be several drives
and campaigns this year. The city's customary charity
drive has been combined with the Red Cross roll call, if
we come through next week, there will be no necessity,
under present circumstances, of more appeals before
the winter is over.
It is needless, for the observing citizen knows it, to i
parade a list of unfortunates and their miseries in order
to show that we will all have to do our part to insure
against suffering and want in our own midst before
spring. Some of us, admitedly. are not in position to
help as much as we have in the past, but noting our own
circumstances it should be easier for us to realize the
plight of those more unfortunate.
Every person with an income should contribute to
the charity drive next week.
Shelby can show the world that the city cun take
care of its own, and the pride of accomplishing that to
gether with the natural brotherly love and charitable,
helping-hand inclination should serve to raise every cent
necessary Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday
Yotir contribution may not be very much, but re
member that if we all do our bit, the roll call "ill byn.
. success and all "ill bar. the comforting a curanec iba'
there will be a minimum of suffering,a minimum nf;

\i.m:\nv imckinh a hoykrnou
North < aroliua has just elected a governor t'o ser\c
tour years alter the present governor completes his j
term. That means another governor will not lie elected
until 1 Inn a matter of four or fivh years mean ,
nothing to political speculators. Already they are at- J
tempting to singleoiit "the nexi governor" after Khring
haus. One-.writer- t/‘getto Blythe in The Charlotte Ob
. er\ei -ays ( lyde Iloey of Shelby is being groomed for
tile 1 PUG honors. Among other things, in his specula- i
tion. Blythe-says:
“If 'Mr. fluey docs not consent to run, and
no doubt he "ill he asked to make the race, he "ill
be the most promising candidate now in the field or
tenlatheh in the list of candidates. His friends
here are confident he would win against an\ candi
date or combination of candidates that might he
produced.”
The average' friend of the Shelby man, and that, we
beliese. Would include a vast majority of North Carolina
Democrats as well as mans Republicans, will likely agree |
with the Charlotte writer that Mr. Iloey could win
“against any candidate or combination of candidates."
But that isn’t the point. The equation yet to be solved,
is that of determining whether the veteran campaigner
cares for the governorship or any other office. In his
concluding paragraph, the charlotte writer intimates
that ho has heard that political-bees are buzzing in the j
Hoey bonnet. l hey may be but the Shelby man is such !
an old-timer at the business that it would, indeed, take a
close and vigilant, observer to notice it. Buzzing or not
buzzing, the speculators might' recall that the man
mentioned for governor in 19.”,G did not care to be ap
pointed senator in 19”0 or to run for the senate in 19”,2.
A big portion of the State, we suspect, will he interest
ed in the Iloey future, but the political speculators should
recall also that what "lloev will do” lias been a choice
topic of speculation for two decades, and in recalling
tliiil they might attempt a real scoop by getting him to
express himself four years in advance.
SOI I II t.OSKS C ONTROL?
The victory of the Democrats in the last election"
was so overwhelming and So'imtion-wide .that national
political observers are now saying that the South will
not be entirely in the saddle in the new administration
as in past Democratic administrations. There is some
thing to the observation. Ordinarily a solid Democratic
South makes possible the few Democratic victories, and
generally the slight majority in Congress and Senate is
due to. Southern representatives. Hut this year (‘very
section of the land sentDemocratic representatives to
Congress and the Senate. No one section can claim a
!nissing 11and in 1 he Roosevelt regime.
The trouble is, it is admitted, that this one-sided
victory may bring on strife among the congressmen and
senators. As Judge Rufe Clark says in The Greens
boro News, the Democrats would get along better with a
majority of 25 than with the log majority they will have
at the next regular session. It is to be hoped, for the
sake of the party as well as for the welfare of the na
tion, that the Democratic majority will not war among
/themselves.oyer honors and control. Compromise meth
ods of giving each section a share would he far better
•and tar wiser. We say this without any, desire of seeing
the South lose prestige or influence. There are two sides
and there is midway ground. Perusal of the following
comment by The New York Times along that line will
give an idea of the other side:
"Due .to the habit of keeping its Representatives
ami Senators king in office, the South gets most of the
Congressional honors when the Democrats carry tlie
country. This has often been used as a Republican buga
boo. The rule of seniority, which is responsible for
Southern ascendency, has its foundation in the ‘you
t ickle-me-FIl-t iekie-you.' philosophy. New members
seeking consideration for pet lulls, and hoping one day
to become chairmen themselves through long service,
hesitate to oppose the House machine,
"In the Seventy-third House the numerical repres
entation of the two sections of the country will be so
< hanged that it appears certain there must lie a greater
division of chairmanships and other places pf power with
the North, blast and West than the South has ever had
to accept in a Democratic Congress. There will be 109
Representatives from the South (that is, from the States
of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida. Georgia, Kentucky.
Louisiana, Mississippi, the Carolina.*. Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia). Rut there will probably be 202 members
from non-Southern States, including Maryland. West
'Virginia and Missouri, because .they are accustomed to
range themselves with the non-Southern delegations.
Such a preponderance means that the Southern mem
bers may not be able to (told the Speakership, the offices
of party whip and chairman of the committee of the
whole and the chairmanship of tile great committees and
most of tlie others. The North. Fast and West will prob
ably make demands which will have to be met. If these
State delegations could agree on a slate, they have the
votes to put it through.
“Compromise is more likely. There are at least two
candidates for Speaker: Representatives McDuffie of
Alabama and Rainey of Illinois. A similar ambition is.
supposed to be entertained by Representatives O'Connor
of New York City, In the present House, the South has
twenty-seven chairmen and thirty-two ranking members
of committees, while t he North has but twenty chairmen
and fourteen rankers. The disproportion is greater than
the figures show, because of the relative importance of
the Southern and Northern chairmanships.
“The,Senate rule of seniority is harder to break Iw
enuse, v it It its .-nuttier membership,, there are enough
chairmanship i.> go round."

POLITICS, BEER AND

Well Arizona ha* repealed thelrl

be done is for congress to act fav- j
drably and it Ls believed they will.
This will mean that the gangster,!

Arizona* war horse governor.
George W. P. Hunt, who has been
governor seven terms was defeated
in the primary for renomination by
another Democrat* Ur. B. B' Moeur,
and Dr. Moeur beat his Republican
opponent three to one in the gen
eral election This means that
Democracy will continue to rule in
Arizona and the postmasters are
all looking for some othc rllne of
endeavor.
President-elect Roosevelt passed
through Arizona several weeks ago
and stopped off in the capttol city
of Phoenix for more than two hours
More than 50.000 people turned out
to see him and hear him deliver a
brief address. It was felt then that
he would be the next, president, and
it s certainly a blessing to the com
mon people ttfkt he has been elect
ed Already new confidence has been
inspired in business and everybody,
except Republican job holders, are
happy
Even the Republican newspapers
of the state who fought Roosevelt
so strenuously are now getting in
line and offering suggestions to
bring back prosperity in a rush
Why did they not try to help out
during tlir past three years?
Some sav that President Hoover
will go down in history as the
greatest president except Lincoln,
we have ever had.. Why? It seems
strange to me that one could be
called great. who would allow i
his country to get into the shape I
it has during the past few years.
But the election is over, no use to j
cry over spilled milk. We must all j
get in and pitch bail.
The cuttle industry' of this state
is coming back again. For a time
it looked as though the bowboy in
his picturesque garb and the large
cattle ranches would soon be a
thing of the past, but this depres
sion has to some extent brought
back tile cowboy, and made lots of
cattlemen get back in their old i
game. Great herds tan be seen
coming into Phoenix dally to the
cattle pens lor winter feeding. The
south part of the city looks like
olden days. Cowboys are frequently
seen Jogging along on the streets.
Makes one feel good to see them.
One of my childhood desires was
to some day be a cowboy. Many
years ago I landed in New Mexico
looking for a job as a cow poke, and
sure enough found one. Being a
green hand and the butt of many
practical jokes, the life at first did
not seem so glamorous. However, I
soon caught on to some tricks and
was regarded as a fair hand. Many
of the acquaintances made on the]
roundup have become my lifelong
and best Iriends and that is one of
the reasons I love the southwestern
country. There's nothing like it and
I attend ever rodeo in range of my
poeketbook.
Missed getting a bear on my hunt,
but had a good time camping out
with several friends lor three
nights in northern Arizona where
the weather almost hit the zero
mark. Wc did not see a bear, but
some of the boys got their deer and
l killed my limit in wild turkeys.
Today, being Sunday. I have just
returned from a quail hunt. The
quail here are the Blue Mountain
and fool quail type unlike our Bob
White or partridge in North Caro
lina. The Blue mountain type are
very beautiful birds about one
third larger than the Bob White.
They range in the foothills and
desert country and hunting with a
bud dog is not advantageou . In
fact, a dog is no good out here. The
quail here are very wild and start
running when they see a man with
a gun To shoot them on the wing
one must be expert and fast on his
feet We bagged our limit today
which is 15 birds, and were back
home at 2 p m. tin time for
church).
Tlic duck season w also on now
and I have not gone out for them
vet Duck shooting is not so ekcit,
inp as quail hunting.
The Arizona Fool .Quail arc about
the same size as the Blue Moun
tain type, but they act differently.
Sometimes one can get them mill
ing around and kill them with
rocks.. They sway in the higher al
titudes, and seldom are seen in the
lower lands or desert.
Bootleg liquor dropped off to 50
cents a pint in Phoepix when the
Arizona dry laws were repealed, and
several new places opened up. But
it won't be long now until we can
get good stuff at the drug stores on
a doctor's prescription. It will be
shipped in from Mexico and Canada,
and will be bonded stuff. Personally,
the home made kind is good enough
for me and there is a fellow who
lives m Paradise Valley.' 12 miles'
north Of Phoenix, who was born on
ih« south fort river m North Car
olina and who hb' not forgot how
to make it right, tie bring'- fll" a
gallon every few days and my
friends all say it is swell stuff
Extend my sympathies to Hoo
,„r and the postmasters, and with
br.u wishes for prosperity,'I beg ic

If It was necessary ! could very j
truthfully say. "I cold you so.4’ Be
fore the National convention met, I;
said if Herbert Hoover was renom
inated the Republican par ty Was de-!
feated before the campaign started
After he was nominated and the j
platform adopted with the pussy- j
footing, straddling plank on prohi- j
bltion. put in It that, was, I predict- j
ed that he would be beaten worse
than he defeated A1 Smith in 1928.
And he was. The election last Tues
day was not only a landslide, but
it was a revolution.
The Republican party under the
leadership of Mr. Hoover had be
come useless, and because of his
renomination deserved defeat. Now
let the party reorganize. Let young
men come to the front and take
charge of the reorganization, of the
party.
Let the old moss-back politicians
who have been defeatrd retire to
private life. Let us have a liberal
progressive Republican party that
will give more attention to the
needs of the American people and
less to the international bankers
and big money powers of this coun
try.
Let it work more tor thf* benefit
of the United States and take less
interest in the affairs of foreign
countries. Mr, Hoover has shown
more good, common sense in one
week of defeat than he showed in
four years of victory. I do not blame
Mr. Hoover for this world-wide de
pression, I give him credit for bo-;
ing honest in ail his efforts, but his
Judgment has been bad.
The management of this govern
ment has Just simply been too big
a job for him to handle
But now we have made the
change. I can see already a differ
ent disposition in the people. They
are more cheerful, they have more
faith and confidence in the future,
they move as if they sure do believe
we have now turned the corner.
I wish for Mr. Roosevelt a suc
cessful administration and hope he
will select a strong cabinet and my
only suggestion to the new President
is that he make Owen D. Young,
secretary of the treasury and Gov
ernor Max Gardner cf North Caro
lina secretary of agriculture.
Congratulations to everybody over
one of the greatest political vic
tories, that was badly needed, that
I have ever seen won
