.while in Raleigh attending supreme j
court tht week if there is any of-,
floe, appointive or elective, within j
the gift.of the people of North Car- j

would accept.
Particularly, the Cleveland coun
ty barrister said he would have to

state, the position now held by his,
brother-in-law. O Max Gardner/
Thus, facetiously, he turned off:
discussion of a subject that has been j
-uggested even lour years in ad-'
* vance of possible fruition.
Mr. Hoey has been a staunch
Democratic fighter for many years,!
although he has held no public of- j
l ice, other than that of assistant j

ministration, and once filled out an:

cause he has not . ought office and
apparently docs not care for it, that
< atises many Democrats to sav he
can secure any office in the state
to which he might aspire, regard
less of what kind of opposition he
might have.
But, even if he does not seek the
governorship, that office will. not
go begging, even though it is, of
recent years, a 'strenuous position.
In addition to Mr. Hoey. probably
half a dozen Democrats have al
ready thaught or have been
suggested by friends for the term
that begins more than four years
away.
Two of them, in fact, have al
ready announced their intention of
being candidates One is Col. T. L.

Thomas t. Johnson, Asheville, who

Sunday Quietude In
Shelby Section

Churrhes. Many Hunting Or At
Grid Games.
Not, .9 .single nceidcnt automobile
or hunting, marred the Thanksgiv
ing holiday in the Shelby section
Officers stated today that it was
one of the quietest holidays in many
years with a minimum number of
arrests and no serious trouble in
either the city or county.
Deserted Streets.
In business Shelby a typical Sun
day quietude prevailed. With a ma
jority of the business houses clos
ed up, the streets were deserted and
traffic was light.
Early morning services were held
at Central Methodist and the Pres
byterian churches with the respec
tive pastors, Dr. McLarty and Rev.
H. N. McDiarmid, m charge. At the
two churches the annual offering
for orphans was taken, the Metho
dist offering going to the Children's
Home at Winston-Salem and the
Presbyterian collection to the Bar
ium Springs orphanage. A .special
Thanksgiving service will be held
Sunday morning at the First Bap
tist .church with Dr. I. G. Greer,
superintendent of Mills Home as the
speaker and the annual offering will
be made for the orphans there
Hunters Out.
With, the hunting season only
four days old. scores and scores of
Shelby and Cleveland county peo
ple were in the fields during the eti- i
tire day, and especially in the aft
ernoon. hunting birds and rabbits.
Game is said to be more plentiful
in this section than in several years,
but no exceptional bags were re
ported during the Holiday hunt. A
cheering angle of the days hunting,
in view of the number in the fields.
Is that there was not an accident of
any type.
Those who did not go hunting re
maiiied by their own firesides ot at-,
tended nearby football games, the
Wake Forest-Davidson contest at
Davidson’ drawing thy largest num
ber of fans from this section. Many
others "took ’ their football by ra
dio.
Many family dinners were held, in.j
the city and county and scores of
families reassembled for the annual
Thanksgiving feast.
All in all, it was ai unusually
quiet day here, but a day of the
type which is not followed by a sad
aftermath. City and county officers
inform that only eight or nine ar
rests were made during the day, a
big percentage of this number re
sulting from a raid upon a small
time gambling game

Thanksgiving Became Legal Holiday
Through Author Of ‘Mary’s Lamb’
Sarah Josephs Hair. Editor Of

Proclaim Holiday.
Pilgrims, dodging redskins to bag j
turkeys in snow-covered hills, start
ed the Thanksgiving day idea in
America, but it Was a woman who
made the last Thursday in Novem
ber art annual red letter day in the
national calendar.
For many years there was noth
ing fixed or nation-wide about this'
day of pleasant aromas—this feast
of roast fowl, mince meat and
pumpkin pie. But along came Sarah
Josephs Hale, author and editor ot
the Ladies' Magazine.'- first period
ical oublished in America for wom
en.
For twenty years she urged na
tional celebration of Thanksgiving
day. Finally—President Lincoln
adopted lief suggestion in ist>4, pro
claiming it a national day of grate
ful prayer. Other President followed
his example.
Incidentally this author had other
claims to distinction besides being a
sort of "mother of Thanksgiving
day.” For example, she published a
"school song book" which contained.
among other things, "Mary Had a!
Little Lamb."

Kings Mountain, Nov. 25,- A cor
oner's jury, called by Coroner Ros
coe Lutz. ol Shelby Wednesday

they realize that there will be real
