Graham may have announced his candidacy for Governor In the Demo cratic primaries next spring. If not it will be forthcoming within the next few days. The second high man in the State government has not tried to keep it a secret that he will run but has withheld announcement until his duties as presiding officer of the State Senate are completed. I ***« HOEY — The opinion that Clyde R. Hoey, Shelby Demoeratics wheel horse, has been strengthened in Ral eigh since the withdrawal of Con gressman R. L. Doughten, who de cided he was needed as chairman of the national House Ways and Means Committee. Hoey also is withholding formal announcement until aTter the legislature adjourns at which time he will tell the State of Ills intentions. Front a neutral position it’s pretty hard to figure out just what the Shelby orator will do. No doubt he wants to run but is a man who detests getting into a political dog-fight to gain an office. * t- ** HUMANE — A man Is just as dead when you kill him with lethal gas as if you electrocute him but so cial leaders say that passage of the Peterson bill to substitute gas for lectrocution in capital punishment is a great stride in the right direction. Persons who have seen the gas exe cutions says the prisoner displays no sign of pain and that much of the gruesomeness of lectrocutions is missing. Capital punishment oppo sitionists hail this State’s departure in the method of legal killing as a move toward its abolition. The Peter son bill provides that persons senten ced to death after July 1 be put to death by gas, Those sentenced be fore that date will be electrocuted. •*** ^ GRABBED IT — The General As sembly voted to apply the sales tax (Cont^l on page 4) BUSINESS MEN’S CLUB TO ENTER TAIN SENIORS AND FACULTY The Business Men's Club are entertaining the Senior Class and (acuity of the Kings Mountain High School, at their regular meeting tonight at the Woman’s Club building.
