feet "from lawyers and others, there
wasi atlot of 'ttaUc about sharpening
the legislative: axe to chon off the
head of Dr. M. C. S. Noble, Jr.j as
sistant .Revenue Commissioner. Dr.
Noble, received general !redit for the
urive and it waa oredicted ha would
not. lostt lontti after tha Gflneral Ar.-
aemblyr convened in January. But
nero it ia past the middle of March
and no- one has given the Doctor any
serious trouble. Senator Burma-of
Guilford introduced the bill to make
the office of Revenue Commissioner
elective instead of appointive, that
might get. Noble's job but Senator
Burrua-expressed the opinion pri
vately that he didn't expect to get
his bill out of committee.
ABSENT; VOTING-All this talk
about what is going to happen to the
Democratic-party "in this State if the
system of absentee voting is not re
formed or abolished makes little im
pression on the Representatives and
Senators from : close Democratic
Republican counties. They express
the private opinion that abolition of
absentee voting would turn politics
over to the Republicans in theii
counties and that would mean then
Jobs. In the east the absentee bai
lot doesn't mean much in overwhelm
ingly Democratic counties and it i
from that section that sentiment for
election reforms comes. The west
will have none of it and is shown by
the unfavorable report given election
law bills in a House committee com
posed largely of westerners who have
their troubles with the Republicans.
READY TO TRY IT State Sena
tor Dalton Warren, of Alleghany
county, is ready to try to fill the
shoes of Congressman R. L. Dough
ton, who is expected to give up the
Ninth District post even, if he dpes
not run for Governor. Senator War
ren is telling friends that he is re
ceiving.:' encouragement from the
length and breadth of the District
and shows definite signs of having
already made up his mind to enter
the lists against all comers.
