STROBE VISITS
 SEASIDE BEACH
North Carolina Paper Tells Of Alabama Au-
 thor's Summer Work

Hudson Strode, a southern story writer, who has contributed a num- Der of stories to many of the leading magazines in. this country and in Eng land, has found Wrightsville Beach to be a place of inspiration as well as a delightful place to rest and write," says a Wilmington. N. O., newspaper, just received in Birmingham.
 MT. Strode is associate professor of English and professor of dramatic literature at the University of Alabama, and is well known in Birmingham, where he has given a number of dra- matic readings and has appeared in theatrical productions. His home is in Demopolis, Ala, and he has been spending the summer at the North l Carolina beach, after a visit of several days in Birmingham. He has directed the Blackfriar Players of the Univer- sity of Alabama for several years, and has made it known in college drama tics | by it's tours every season throughout the state.
 Tbe North Carolina newspaper con tinGes:
 ''The story writer is an interesting young man of 30, and when discovered by the newspaper writer, he explained everything when he said: I came here for rest, for a sunburn, for salt air, and to do some writing He willingly admits that he has never found any other place in the south where he can get what he wants in those particulars. | Wrightsvillei Beach is Surpassing, de- lightful, and I am very fond of it. he said. II really like it immensely. It is a wonderful place for rest, for play, for work. Of course, others can in- dulge in the gaitie, the pleasures and various means of enjoyment to be found here, but for my pleasure I find the sea and the beach superb. The surf bath ing right out there is splendid, and there I can play. I have found this beach to be the best place on either the Atlantic, of the Gulf or the Pacific for my purpose, hence 1 am partial to Wrightsville Beach,
 \''tMr Strode took the B. A. degree at the University of Alabama and the New York. After finishing his educa tion he became professor of dramatic literature in the Alabama university, and began a career of story writing. Many of his stories have been pub lished in the literary magazines. His first story came out in The Forum, November, 1917. and was entitled The Imperial Battle"
 His second story was entitled Num- Der Twenty-nine,' and was published in McClure's. Other writings appeared at different times in various publica- tions. In April last. his most recent writing appeared in Hollands, The Poor Peacock Woman Durino tha last nine months he has published four stories in England, one appearing in the English Review universally rank ed as the highest standard magazine published in England. He is now en- gagged in writing what he hopes to be his best story up to now, and he ceased work on his typewriter for few min utes to chat with a reporter. That story will be produced entirely or very largely on the North Carolina seashore. A query elicited the fact that Mir. Strode's plots develop physiological and dramatic characteristics.

TIMBER SCARCE
 AS CANDIDATES
 FACE QUANDARY
Politicians Baking Lest They Connect With
 Losing Side

Political events of the week just passed caused the list of probable can didates for the next city commission" to dwindle to the lowest mark since 1910, according to veteran politicians.
 This time a week ago, they say, there were at east 10 almost certain aspirants. Now there are three, and they are the incumbents.
 The drive to abolish commission gov ernment and go back to modified form of mayor-aldermanic rule took definite shape during the week and is solely re- sponsible for the shrinkage in the crop of candidates, the politicalI wizards aver.
 Last week $. W. Hawkins. former legislator and long a prominent politi- cal figure in this city, was '.as good as in the race for the commission. Now he is actively campaigning with the mayor-aldermanic forces.
 Copeland Gets Out
 W. B. Copeland, who is rounding out his term on the board of revenue, after sizing up the weeks developments, be- gan telling his friends he would not run for the commission, as had been re- ported. He is said to strongly favor the proposed new system. Copelands inti- mates now say he will wait and run for tax collector in 1926 against J. F.. Hawkins, the incumbent
 Another name appearing on the list of prospective candidates a week ago was that of Thomas F. Huey. also of the retiring revenue board. But close friends of Mir. Huey were insisting Sat urday that he had no idea of running for the commission but would go into business when his county service ends and forget politics for a while.
 County Registrar L. K. Bowen's name also had been frequently men, tioned. But Bowen is serving as mem Der of the aldermanic committee and like the rest, declares there will be no commission to run for next year.
 Jerry Gwinn's friends had been blooming" him. But Gwinn was seen at n mayor-aldermanic meeting Friday aft ernoon-and he told reporters he was positively not a commission candi- date"
 "Wiseacres' Predict
 The list could be extended, but it would be the same story. The point is that the almost unanimous prediction of the political wiseacres is a victory for the anti-commission movement.
 Defeat for the proposed mayoralty system would quickly increase the list of commission prospects, it is be- ieved.
 Although commission candidates have been scarce since the aldermanic forces opened fire. prospective aspirants for alderman have not been hard to find. No candidates for mayor and the attendant salary of $7,500 a year have yet ap- peared. however.
 Copies of the proposed new city char ter, are just off the press and not yet studied by many citizens, but the events of last week impressed the political ob- servers and they are sounding the death knell of ( -lmission rule It will be September 9 before they can check up Jon their predictions.

 Tax Collections
 Here the report Of the tax collec- tor was brought on by the law and order committee, Mir. filling. He said that the amount of unpaid col lectable taxes was shown, but there was nothing to show paid taxes, or uncollectable taxes.
 He claimed that the figures of the tax collector had not been verified by the auditors. George Sullivan, one of the auditors, rose into ac. ton. There was lengthy discus. sion taken part in by Messrs. sulli van, Lewis and filling, regarding the tax collections.

 Mir. Sullivan said that the book! has been audited, not once, bu many times. He said that Mir. Lewis books had always been found fl good condition. This in response tc the remark made that everything was not down In black and white He said that the books, during tn, past two years have been bettel audited than ever before.
 The chairman took exception tt this statement, saying that 1t cast { reflection on the efficient auditor of the past, such a statemene no being in order. Mir Sullivan sait that no reflections were being cas on the good work Of former audi tors,
 The question in mind does no concern what has been done, 1t i what has not been done, that inter ests the people at present. said Mir filling. He said he was not talk ing about the collected taxes, bu about the uncollected taxes.
 The report was finally accepted
