Mayor McMurry Will Be Candidate Again Has Decided To Run Makes No Formal Xnnoiincemri.'l But Tells Friends Of His Intentions. Mayor S. A. McMurry will be a candidate for re-election as head of the Shelby municipal govern ment. No formal announcement has been made as yet by Mayor Mc Murry. but it was learned today that he has informed friends that he has definitely decided to, make the race. For the last week or two, with spring nearing, there has been some talk of the approaching city elec tion. Sever laprospective candidates have been spoken of as possible entrants for aldermen and mayor, but the political gossip has gone no further. So far as is known no lo cal citizens are as yet making an active bid for any of the city of fices and the McMurry statement is the opening move of the cam paign. Mr. McMurry. well known Shelby business man, is now serving his i second term as mayor, being first elected in 1929 and re-elected again; in 1931. His business experience, his supporters point out, has meant much to the city durinig the per iod of the depression in that both administrations have advocated economy in public matters.

Mr. Thompson has made no statement about the contest so far and the advertisement paid for by his friends merely sets forth his qualifications. Ex-Governor Speaks Before Assemblies Ex-Governor O. Max Gardner, who returned to New York a few days ago from a trip to Cuba with Mrs., Gardner, has accepted invita tions to speak before the general as sembly of the State of Delaware and before the general assembly of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City on Feb. 17th.

Washington Preparing For Large Crowds For Roosevelt Inaugral j Number Of Establishments Already Booked To Capacity For Inauguration. Washington, Feb. 3.—A month before the inauguration of Franklin D. Roosevelt finds leading hotels ready for capacity crowds and hold ing reservations for ‘'old-timers." A canvass showed that inaugural guests will pay standard rates. The majority of managers are selling only double reservations. Hotel officials generally were in accord that no reduction in rates was necessary to attract visitors, j The widespread interest, they said, • was sufficient. Rates Slashed Many hotels recently slashed rates! so that now all charge approximate ly the same for single arict double rooms. The rate scale runs from $4 to $7 for single reservations and; from $6 to $10 for double reserva tions Out of nine hotels canvassed, six already are booked to capacity. The remainder expect to hang up the "S.R.O.” sign soon. At the Mayflower, where the president-elect made his home dur ing recent visits to confer witn President Hoover and congressmen 1,800 inaugural reservations have been made. The Mayflower has booked governors of 18 states. The Carleton hotel adopted a policy of selling seven-eighths of its house to the public and reserving the remainder for regular guests.

Big Employment Works For Idle Roosevelt Plan To Employ 200,000 Unemployed Men Gigantic Experiment Proposed In Tennessee Valley And Other Sections. Warm Springs, Ga , Feb. 3 A gigantic experiment designed to provide 200,000 jobs and herald the I birth of a new America front which! the curse of unemployment would j be lifted was proposed yesterday by , President-elect Roosevelt The rugged highlands and fertile! industrial valley of the Tennessee | watershed were chosen by the next j president for this "most interesting j experiment a government has ever! undertaken." Tells Of Dream j Seated before the blazing fire- j place of the “little White House,' he told newspapermen of his dretun j for a vast internal development en-! compassing reforestation, reclama-! tion, water power and agricultural; rehabilitation. The aim is to bal ance the national population anew j between cities and the country, j Mr. Roosevelt expects this huge laboratory experiment 10 provide ! employment for 200.000 men in the i Tennessee valley alone. More than | this, he hopes to carry the scheme 1 into otliei sections ol the nation from Alleghanies to the Pacific i coast and through it to re-establish American life on a basis that will mean the end of unemployment; the decentrallzation-of industry; and ! a people protected by the watchful jeye of a government. The great Tennessee valley pro ject involving half a dozen states is ! to include: | lr~ Reforestation, j 2—Creation of flood control bas i ins in the upper valleys, first r.t [Cove Creek in the Clinch river. [. 3—-Waterpower development to be I available lor cities, states and farm homes. 4— Reclamation oi the fertile bot tom lands of agricultural use. 5— Elimination of the unprofit- j able marginal binds from farm pursuits. 6.—Eventual flood control of the great Mississippi river. 7—Eventual improvement of nav - -igatioii.___-_:.'_■; ■ - ■ j Will fall For Surveys j Mr. Roosevelt announced that as soon as he takes office next March 4, he will ask the various govern ment departments involved to make surveys with a view to putting the proposition up to congress at an early date. Confident that the whole project will be self-sustaining, he has no doubt of the “bankability" of it and the availability of bonds for the undertaking. . 'If it is successful, and I am con fident it will be," he said, “I think this development will be the fore runner of similar projects in other sections, particularly in the Ohio and Arkansas valleys and in the Columbia river basin of the north west. "We have about 12.000,000 or 13. 000,000 wage earners unemployed, If we return immediately to the high level of 1929 I think we would still have 5.000,000 men out of work and on a dole. Our population is out of balance. If by government ac tivity we can restore the balance we will have taken a great step for ward. "The normal trend nov is a back to the farm movement. For those who Have had experience in agri cultural work I think we will do well to provide a living. Without reference to notes or books but with an occasional glance at a huge map. Mr .Roosevelt un folded his idea for a great Tennes see valley experiment to newspap ermen, There is no doubt he has been studying the proposition for days.

Bennett, Klch mond paper salesman, arriv ed here at a late hour and was turned away at two ho - Cels before finding a room in a third which was almost ready to hang out the "Stand ing Itoom Only” sign. ‘‘It's the first time since the flop in 1929 that I have struck a town where hotel rooms were that scarce,” he said. “I've heard that business was better here than any where, and now 1 believe it." Winter Not Over; Will End Mar. 16, Old-Timer Sees Ills Shadow And Predicts Six More Winter Weeks. Winter isn't over and .spring will not arrive until mid-March, or, to be more exact, until March 16.

Yesterday was February 2 and the day scheduled tor years and years as the arrival date of the groundhog. It is on February 2 that Mr. Groundhog—also known as whistler, woodchuck. Canada mar mot. whistle-pig, shuck, tliickwood badger, moonack. woodshock nto nax and ground-pig—comes front his hole and takes a peep at the world. If it is cloudy, the legend is that he does not see his shadow and remains out, meaning that winter is over. But if the sun happens to be shining and he sees his shadow, then he figures that something, maybe Popeye’s "ghosts." is after him and flees back into his hole. And that means more winter. Yesterday the sun was shining at the hour of arrival between 11 and noon and the chuck saw his shad ow. Early in the morning it was cloudy, the atmosphere was chilly and penetrating, and a dense fog enveloped the landscape But about) 11 o'clock the genial rays of the sun broke through the mists and before the noon hour the clouds were completely dispersed, giving his hogship abundant opportunity to see his shadow, anti therefore pav mg the way fm more winter VTf3th>!\ Groundhog Speaker Here Thinks It Will I’ul Many Textile People Out Of Work.

"No farmer would know what price he would obtain until after his cotton was made and sold.

Woman Governor Boss Of Largest State In Country; Is Home Lover Was "First I.ady” As Governor’s Wife Before Helnr Governor Herself. Austin. Tex. Feb. 3.—The "first lady” of Texas. Mr. Miriam A. Fer guson. is really the first lady be cause she is governor. And she was officially the “first lady” of Texas before she became the official gov ernor of the largest; State in the Union. First of all, Mrs. Ferguson is a mother and wife, a woman who al ways has cherished her home.

"It never is difficult for me to forsake the ex ecutive office for the mansion drawing room or a place in a dis tinguished receiving line. because when I am away from the State house, Jim. two-times Governor, can look after things there for me. "You know I told the voters they could expect two good Governors for the price of one, and that I would naturally look to my hus band for advice and guidance just like any wife should.” Mrs. Ferguson was an experienced hostess before she came to the Governor's mansion. Now that her duties are doubled and she must be Governor as well a; head of the mansion, her poise anti dignity and social experience enable her to look after the social phases of her po sition easily. "It's a pretty happy combination, after all,” Mrs. Ferguson smiled Activities of one will not interfere with the. other- just an easy com bination " Electric Plant Is To Be Erected By Mill Cost Of County Court Lower Now Than Ever Before Halting Ol Trivial ( llrinnj Court ('out* Down.
