Hoey this morning announced his candidacy for the governorship of North Carolina. He made the long-expected announcement from his law office here, in the following statement: "I have neciaeo 10 uecome a can didatf for governor of North Caro lina m the Democratic primary next year. •■Frankly. I have no purely per jonai ambition to hold public office, not even to be governor. However, 1 ,m tremendously interested in child hood and youth, in adequate educa- j Uonal facilities for all the children of the state, in fostering higher education, in having the state meet the clmllenging demand to do some thing constructive and permanent in translating the tenant classes into home owners and to more equit ably compensate the school teach ers and the salary and wage classes generally, and to make more secure their future, and to provide for the reasonable necessities of old age among all the people. •'I feel an abiding interest in pub lic affairs. I recognize the obligation of the citizen to share the respon ability of government and to active ly participate in every movement which promises fuller opportunities for the masses of our people. The1 passion of a free people should be for die maintenance of a just gov- j amment, and state and nation: should strive steadily toward that! goal, with a definite purpose to deal ] fairly with every interest, great or ana 11. and to approach the solu tion of the complex problems of government in this new day with an open mind. “The movement inaugurated by Agcock in the beginning of this cen tury to build a balanced common wealth should be courageously car ried forward and it will require the united effort of aU of our people to achieve this result. The strength and virility of youth, the wisdom and experience of maturity and the unfailing idealism of womanhood should combine to work out a great destiny for the state. Should I be chosen governor it •ill bring no satisfaction to me un less the opportunity is afforded to fender some real service to the peo ple of the state. For thirty-five years I have practiced law and rep resented many clients—some big and many Httle ones—and have en deavored to serve each faithfully and to the best of my ability. If elected governor I shall have but «e client—the whole people of Moreh Carolina, and I make to them but ope promise—to dedicate myseH wholly and unreservedly to the* service.

Timber Down Strips of timber in the neigh borttood of Mrs. W. L. Miller, R. W. Wilson and on the farm of Dr. R. A. Lackey were broken to pieces. Crops are hardly far enough along to be damaged greatly by the hail, although it beat down smjjll grain rather seriously. No reports were given of Injuries to people or live stock. The storm was moving from west to east and continued on in Lincoln county.

Credit Body Loans $80,000 For Seeds And Fertilizers Checks Being Mailed Today Emergency Croap Loan Office Busy With Applications Put Few Weeks. Checks were being mailed out to day to farmers in Cleveland, Ruth erford, McDowell and Burke coun ties as part of approximately $80, 000 dollars loaned in this district for the purchase of seed, fertilizer arid other required items In grow ing a crop for 1935. This information was released from the Emergency Seed Loan of fice In charge of F. L. Wagoner who said that he has been swamp ed for the past several weeks with applications for money loaned un der the Farm Credit administra tion plan. More than 1,000 applica tions have been filed, although all applications have not yet been ac cepted, and all the checks will not be mailed for the next few weeks. Get First Lien Money obtained by growers from the government in this fashion will be returned next fall when crops are gathered. The government takes a first lien on the crop. Mr. Wagoner said that average loans are from $75 to $80 and may run to $95. Fo rthe most part the money is used for the purchase of fertilizer, as most of the farmers al ready have seed. Above $100 Farmers who have any security at all and who want loans of above $100 are asked to apply first to the Production Credit corporation at Cherryville. The peak season for making the loans Is apparently over, as only a few applications were made last week.

I Home Lost, Regained in a Day, Mother Celebrates with Twins Fortune, good and bad, swooped over the Hay as household in the Eton mill village this week, first tearing the heartstrings of an ex pectant mother as she saw her household belongings earned- to the street while 47 striking families were evicted, and then smiling away the stem decrees of lamJ and the differ ences of striker and non-striker with an appeal to the universal respect for motherhood. And Mrs. Hayes returned the compliment by presenting the world with twins—a pair of fine girl babies. As the Hayes furniture was car ried from the house, along with the rest, word went to the mill office that Mrs. Hayes was expecting, and word promptly went back to re-establish the family in the hoifie. The furniture was carefully replac ed. The family is still there, and will not be disturbed. As news flashed over the village of this unusual and appealing in cident, employees of the mill who hadnt gone on strike found very soft spots in their hearts for the mother who had braved her dis tress so courageously. Strike differ ences were forgotten and, Just as enemies on the battlefield will succor the wounded and helpless, regardless of what side they fought on, the workers set about to help the Hayes family. The hat was passed through the mill, and from two shifts contri butions totalled more than $75. | Pilsudski’s Death Perils Peace Jotmi Beck • Marthal Jam# Pilwdilu Josef Beck, inset, foreign minister, is considered most likely to succeed to the powers of Marshal Josef Pilsudski, above, Polish dic tator whose sudden death further complicated the European crisis. General Smigly, “strong man” of the army, and General Kasprsycki, new minister of war, are other possible successors to Pilsudski, whose death gave fresh cause for concern over European peace, since it leaves in doubt Poland's future course in diplomatic matters and treaty alignments. Cleveland Farmers First In State on Lint Sign-up Cleveland county was first in the state to make its complete report to Raleigh on 1938 cot ton reduction contracts, assist ant county agent U. B. James reported this week on his return from the capital. Many of the Cleveland con tracts have already been check ed and sent on to VCashington for final approval, he was told by Jack Criswell, chairman of the state allotment board.. This probably means that the county will recetv# rental pay ments earlier this year, but no predictions as to the date were made at the county agent's of fice. The number of contracts this year is 3,468, with 432 new ones. There is a considerable increase over last year because there are a number of ‘'split” contracts, necessary In instances where acreage has been divided for various reasons. Senate Opposes Roosevelt, Extending NRA Ten Months Clinic Suggested To Wage Battle On Tuberculosis Approval of a county-wide health clinic, aimed particularly at the rising threat of tuberculosis, was voiced by representatives of the Cleveland Red Cross chapter and the medical society at a meeting Monday night in the Shelby hos pital. Doctors, hospital attaches and Red Cross workers have been plan ning this project for more than a week, but said no definite announce ment could be made today. Need Finances Doctors are willing to give their services, and it is believed that rooms in which to hold the clinic will be readily accessible, but there are other expenses, for x-rays and treatment, that must be met. An interesting program of health activity in Cleveland is shown in the April report of Mi* Harje Oliv er, county Red Cross nurse. Twenty-one new prenatal cases were visited, 33 new-born babies were visited, 38 pre-school age children were found with diseased tonsils, seven with poor vision, 40 with bad teeth, 28 were poorly nourished, five had rickets, three had pellagra, six had deformities.

The Red Cross is now offering a course free to adults and to high school students in which the follow ing factors are emphasized: personal hygiene, how to plan a healthful home, how to bathe, dress and feed !he young rhild. and howtncajcfor an ill member of the family.
