Winston-Salem, June ia cita-
ton for contempt of court issued
against Sheriff w. B. Somers OF
Wilkes county by F. F. Church, assis-
tant clerk Of Forsyth superior court,

explanation was received.
The citation was for failure to
serve an execution sent him from
Forsyth last July. His explanation
was that the Judgment in the case
was paid to J. H. Wicker, North
Wilkesooro, attorney for the defend
ant. Somers said Wicker told him
he had taken care Of the matter.
The records here, however, show
the Judgment has not been paid and

THOSE DESIRING Hole HELP
MUST FILE APPLICATIONS
PERMANENT INSURANCE
FOR BANK DEPOSITS

Steps necessary to shift federal de-
post insurance from a temporary to
permanent basis were taken Monday
by federal banking authorities.
Apparently proceeding on the be-
lief the administration banking bill
will not become law by July 1, the
Federal Reserve board, the comptrol-
Ter of the currency and the Deposit
Insurance corporation moved to put
into effect provisions of the original
guaranty act which otherwise will
have obtained full force on that day.
Two differences between the pres
ent temporary plan and the perma-
nent system were outstanding: The
100 per cent insurance on deposits
would be boosted from $4,000 to
$4,000 and banks belonging to the
corporation would have an unlimited
liability to the fund.
Unopposed insurance provisions of
the omnibus bill still locked in the
senate banking committee would
make the $4,000 guaranty figure per-
manent and replace the unlimited liza
bility with fixed assessment based
on deposits.

MRS. ROOSEVELTS VISIT TO
CAROLINA CAUSES GOSSIP

Raleigh, June 13.-After the visit
of Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt to this
state and to others in which she has
been making commencement adj
dresses, couple hundred thousand
Republicans in North Carolina and
more than a few millions throughout
the country will be listening out for
presidential repercussions.
There is a lot of belief over the
nation that Mrs. Roosevelt has her
eye on the presidency. The presiden-
tial health has been far better than
the best friends of Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
pected. He appears to have improved
under it's killing pressure. But Re-
publicans all over the nation expect
the Presidents constitution to crum-
BILE. They beleive Mrs. Roosevelt is
destined to be the Molly Pitcher of
national politics.
The suggestion has been sent to the
Daily News by an individual of emf
nence. He thinks the women have the
presidency in their heads. He thinks
Mrs: Roosevelt is talking PRESIDENT
ally. Citations from address at Duke
and in Capel Hill Tuesday night, not
to mention sort of legend that
Mrs. Roosevelt furnishes much of the
presidential power, persuade this
sharpe observer that some smart
newspaper man will turn up the
truth about the nations first lady.
The thing is given as it. was gun.
On the screen recently there were
some such sentiments as to women
presidents. There was no reference
whatever to Mrs. Roosevelt. But
there is now. Republicans believe that
in the event of impairmnt of the
presidential health Mrs. Roosevelt
would run for nomination and prob
ably receive it.
In addition to that, one of Mrs.
Roosevelt's notable New York friends
is said to be putting out quietly this
idea and watching the reaction to it.

YOUNG DEMOCRATIC CLUBS
NORTH CAROLINA TO MEET
IN RALEIGH JUNE 20 AND 20

The North Carolina Young Demo-
cratic Clubs will meet in Annual Con-
vention in Raleigh, on June 18th and
10Th. The State Executive Committee
will be called to convene, together
with the Committee on the Conven-
ton, at the Hotel Sir Walter on
Thursday evening, June 9th, at $3.50
p. m.
The principal Speaker of the occa-
sion will be the Honorable Rush D..
Holt, the "Baby" of the Senate, of
West Virginia. Senator Holt is one
of the most outstanding Young Dem
ocrats, not only in the South, but in
the entire country. He was elected,
defeating an old line politician and
outstanding Statesman, before he had
reached the age of 20. He will attain
the constitutional age of a United
States Senator between now and the
State Convention. Senator Holt has
had office space in the Senate Office
Building assigned to him. as well as
desk space in the Senate Hall, but
may not be sworn in until he attains
his 30th birthday, on June 10th. He is
said to be speaker of rare charm, is
a thorough pro-administration Demo-
crat, and will undoubtedly have a
singular appeal to the Young Demo-
Gratis of the State.
A number of red-hot controversies
will in all probability be slated for
deliberation.
