V ' ' GETTING WARM J' Congressman
. Frank Hancock, of the Fifth District,
, ' paid a brief visit to, Raleigh and
looked over the Legislative situation.
' He vould not answer questions per
taining to his chances' cof opposing
: Senator J. W. Bailey next spring but
the general impression in some quar
ters here is that he will not run.
Hancock said he is being swamped
with mail from North Carolina urg
ing' him to oppose the Rayburn bill
- to give the federal government un
, precedented control over the power
producing industry. "I. have never
had such-; a fire built under me"
Hancock said and added that faLhls
opinion the Rayburn bill will ".be
greatly modified ; before ', it passes
Congress. ' "
LEAKED OUT Friends, of Thad
Eure, principal clerk of the House,
who have been urging him to run for
Secretary of State against Stacy W.
Wade were trying to keep their little
matter a secret' but it just can't be
done. Making a speech on the floor
of the House, Representative Spruill
of Bertie, let the cat out of the bag.
He referred to Eure as "the man
who will make the best Secretary of
State we ever had if he runs." Every
body, including Mr. Wade, knew what
that meant.
SAVINGS Democrats are plan
ning to take something back home
to their folks when the General As
sembly that make the natives forget
their objections to the sales tax. First
auto license tags will be reduced in
price and the chances are your chil
dren will get cheaper books by means
of a rental system expected to be put
in operation by the State before the
schools open next fall. The school
book rental bill has been slow coin
ing cut of Committee but the admin
istration is solidly behind it and plans
to see it a law before the gavels fall
in finality on this session.
GETS START Senate passage of
a bill to permit the Highway Depart'
ment to spend $500,000 annually in
maintenance of City streets is view
ed by old-time guardians of your gas
oline taxes as the beginning of diver
sion. Another bill now Jn the Legis
lature, unless it " passes ' before you
read this, would name a commission
to study the money of premature
payment to the counties of loans
made to the highway, fund back in
the days when the counties wanted
good roads faster than the highway
department could get the money with
which to build them.
BELIEVE IT Members of the
Legislature are now satisfied that
Representatives Cherry, -of Gaston,
Chairman of the House Finance Committee,-
Morphew.ibf Graham!, Chair
man of -House: Judiciary' number
One, are. out-and-out candidates- for
Speaker next session. Legislators
also' believe that Robert Grady John
son, present ': Speaker; will run for
Lieutenant Governor.
STILL GOING George Ross Pou,
son of the late Congressman Edward
W. Pou, who held Third District seat
for more, than 80 years, took it on the
chin last spring when Harold D.
Cooley beat him to the . contest to
succeed .'- the veteran Congressman.
George Pou has been practicing law
in Raleigh since then and this week
formed a partnership' with Colonel
Ed Abel and - Norman ,'Shepard, of
Smithfleid. They will 'maintain of
fices inV Raleigh and Smlthfield.
Colonel ,Abel is . the Dean of the
Johnson County Bar and comes near
being; the oldest ' practicing attorney
in the State. His activity belies bis
age. Shepard is an up-and-coming
lawyer in his thirties, who has. a re
cord in the Capitol City. The combi
nation gives Raleigh -and Smlthfield a
new law firm of big-shots.
SOP Legislators voting for the
three per cent general sales tax with
out basic food exemptions are hoping
to pass some law providing a State
system of public school book rentals
in order to take Some relief in a fi
nancial way to the folks back home.
Some of them honestly ' believe the
voters would: rather have cheaper
fetyol books than to be relieved of
the sales tax. - And if you figure the
thing out in dollars and 1 cents, the
books proposition comes near being
as much expense under ' the present
system as the sales tax--providing
have two children or more in school.
' GLEEFUL Republicans , around
the General Assembly are! privately
laughing up their sleeves these ? 7s.
They think Dame . Fortune e. ng
their : way in getting the Legisla
ture to re-enact .the generd - sales
tax and privately they express the
hope that the Kill liq Jor bill will
pass, although they will vote e-ainnt
it to a man. ' The G." O. P. boys be
lieve these things will be good cam
paign thunder In the legislative elec-
. tions in close counties next year. But
the Democrats believe that good
schools with higher pay for teachers
will taste, better to the ftlks back
home than would rep-al of ;,tfce sties
tax with another cut L bvl.ool appro
priations. ' , . '
Tf-OUELE Ctacey V. Yaile, Eec
xety of V r r- r't
foot to get a strong candidate to op
pose him. in the Democratic primary
next year. If the right opponent is
found he would have the support of
theTmany friends of former Secretary
oi btate, James A. Hartness, and
that's nothing v to. be sneezed at as
neucles even if Mr. Wade did defeat
Mr. Hartness. ; : Of course, Wade may
be unopposed for the nomination but
if so, it certainly will not be the fault
of certain powers in the Capitol City.
BAND WAGON Supporters of
congressman R. L. Doughton are at
tempting to get the : band-wagon
started in behalf of his campaign for
Governor next year. .They, take out
their pencils and set up figures to
prove that nobody on earth can defeat
the Congressman if he should choose
to run. Despite the fact that he op
posed the sales tax in Congress the
Doughton; b, boys are marking big
business down in hi column. Neutral
political observers dont figure that
way. Also they cant figure Mr.
Doughton carrying the first congres
sional district against the opposition
of either Clyde R. Hoey or Lieuten
ant Governor A. H. Graham. Some
people say it is plain that the Dough
ton boys are trying to work up a
good victory cheer even before he
announces.
FIGHTER Close friends of Gover
nor Ehringhaus express the opinion
that he does not personally want to
oppose Senator Bailey for the eastern
Senate toga next year but they avow
the Governor is a natural born fight
er and will not permit the Bailey
forces to back him off the map.
Around Raleigh you can hear that if
the Baileyites continue to attempt to
discount the Governor they may have
a real fight on their hands by this
time next Spring. Evidently this talk
of the Senator beating the Governor
is getting the Chief Executive's dan
der up.
LOBBYIST Last session it was
generally agreed that Willard L.
Dowell, Secretary of the North Caro
lina Merchants Association, was a
mong the top-flight lobbyists around
the Legislature. But this session he
has not shown such power. The day
of the vote on the three percent sales
tax in the House of Representatives,
Mr. Dowell was claiming 68 votes
against the measure. That would
have been a clear and safe majority
of the 120 House members-but when
the roll was called the Dowell forces
showed a weakness that failed to
muster 50 votes on any of the anti
sales tax questions.

New Type Of Spraying
Controls Peach Damage
Arsenate of lead sprays will not
damage peach trees when zinc sul
phate has been added to the solution,
says Dr. R. F. Poole, plant patholo
gist for the North Carolina Experi
ment Station:'1" ' y J
'-'The zinc' sulphate counteracts the
injurious' effect of lead arsenate on
the trees, " but does not impair the
effect of the spray-in controlling dis
ease and insect pests.
, When arsenate of lead and lime are
sprayed on the , trees without zinc
sulphate, Poole adds, the leaves,
twigs, and fruit are usually damaged.
Some of the trees have been known
to lose three fourths of their foliage
as a result of arsenical injury.
Experiments conducted within this
State during the past five years have
demonstrated that a spray composed
of three pounds of zinc sulphate, one
pound of lead arsenate,' and Ave
pounds of hydrated lime to 60 gal
lons of water may be used safely.
When zinc sulphate was added to
all sprays carrying arsenate of lead,
Poole points out, the trees were not
only free from injury but they also
retained their foliage throughout the
season.
Zinc sulphate may be used in either
the crystal, flake, or powder form.
Since some of the forms contain more
water than the others, Poole says, a
smaller amount of the powder form
is needed than of the crystals and
flakes.
CHOWAN STUDENTS HONOR
MISS MARJORIE HEFREN
Thursday morning, March 28th;
Miss Marjorie Hefren, eighth grade
teacher, at Chowan High School, was
highly honored by a surprise birth
day party. A beautiful white cake
bearing numerous pink candles, and a
song, "Happy birthday to you,"
greeted Miss Hefren when she enter
ed the room. Peanuts, candy, pickles
and cake were then served. The class
gift to Miss Hefren was a bottle of
Evening in Paris perfume. An ap
propriate verse, as follows, was read
by the president of the class:
M arjorie is the name of one,
A 11 of us admire.
R eady are we to serve you,
J ust as you desire.
O iir hearts are to vou.
R hymes can never tell,
I n their very simple way.
E very one thinks you're swell.
U. S. Tenants Willing To
ray For Repairs In Rent
, Better Housing surveys in widelv
divergent sections of the nation have
revealed a willingness on Jhe part of
tenants to pay higher rents, provid
ed certain greatly needed repairs and
improvements are made on the prop
erties they occupy.
Such an attitude is most preva
lently evident among that class of
renters who, until recent years, were
owners of their own homes, and also
by that large portion of the popula-
tiori who are definitely -hoClovky"
but' live1 in rented prepertrbecUM
uj. uie transient nature of their
pauons. - .i .
Over a wide. territory-toe-j
sus of surveyors was that tbe,Mjo
ity of tenants have a definite ten-'
sciousness of the value of property
the sources of depreciation and the
value of protecting property from
deterioration. The average renter
takes the position that it is net only
to his best interest but also to that a
the landlord to keep properties in a
constant state of repair.
