We have grouped all this furniture in our Unclaimed Department and when you buy it, you get the benefit of the deposit paid by the original buyer.

said:
"In speech yesterday, Senator
Barkley has been grievously misin-
formed by the liars research bureau.
He stated that the Hoover admins
tration jumped the national debt by
$4,000 ,OOO, 900, and that there are no
public buildings or public works to
show for it.
"That bureau needs correction.
Treasury reports show that the pub
lie debt March 4, 1929, was $17, AGO.
100000. Four years later, on March
4, 1888, it was $40, 300, 100000. Of this
increase of $3,4O0, 100000, about ST.
4OO,0OO,OOO were recoverable loans,
which have since been largely re-
paid. Therefore, the additional bur-
den of the debt placed on the tax
payers during the Hoover admins
tration was not $6,000,000,000 but a
little over 100000, as COM
pared to about $20,60, 100000 under
the New Deal"
"The same reports show that the
Hoover administration expended

Taft of Ohio is officially in the Re-
publican running, but he'll require
lot of upbuilding to make him
formidable. Senator Etyles Bridges
of New Hampshire is boosting for
himself like fury, but he doesn't
stake" overly well.
According to all straw polls Tho
mas E. Dewey, of New York, leads
in c.. o. P. popularity. But Dewey
has no countrywide record. National
ly speaking, nobody has an idea
whether he's a liberal or a conserva-
tive. One thing is conceded-he's a
rip-snorting good campaigner Hence
the question is put, "Why not give
him the second place on the Repub-
lican ticket enabling him to do the
campaigning for some figurehead?"
Answer:
Well, per Sc, the figurehead would
not like it.
And wohd the figurehead be,
anyway?
Why, according to straw polls, the
Republicans best candidate, next to
Dewey, is Senator Arthur H. Van
denberg of Michigan. Not Senator
Taft or Bridges or any of those folk.
Vandenberg. Now Vandenberg isn't
likely to acquiesce in a place OF the
tail-ship of anybody's kite.
But, aside from that
Vandenberg's from Michigan. And
Dewey's a native Michigander.
Imagine two Wolverines on the

Obviously it couldn't be done
though not unconstitutional.
It would be the ideal combination,

liberal! Dewey, a bird nobody could
find any fault with! But both OF

Impossible.

is Gramp who desperately fights
Death in order to prevent the young
grandson he loves from falling into
the hands of a scheming and un-
scrupulous aunt. That is the simple
outline of the story which is full of
warm humor and of thought-pro-
voking and inspiring imagery.
An exceptional acting cast sur
rounds Barrymore. In the role of the
mysterious stranger Mr. Brink, per-
sonlfication of Death, is Sir Cedric

dicationS that some forces are inter-
ested in testing the Stacy standing
with the voters and with those who
make a business of getting the votes
to see things their way. Then, too,
there was Stacy speech which
could be interpreted, if so desired
into direct, stirring bid for the sup
port of school-minded folks--and
most North Carolina folks have chill
dren enough to be SchOOl-minded.
(2) The Franklin Times suggested
Lumpkin in tWo-column front page
piece which lauded its subject to the
skies, but there hasn't yet been time
to learn what response, if any, the
suggestion will receive. 1t is unlikely
that the article was completely with
out the Lumpkin knowledge, which
would indicate that Willie Lee still
has an ear to the ground listening
intently for any noise he can inter-
pret as a call from the people.
(3) Many people who ought to
know what they are talking about
declare that Of all the suggested cam
didates, Commissioner Maxwell holds
the key to the size of the field which
will eventually go to the post. They
contend that if there is ever for
NAL, -to-goodness Maxwell an
nouncement, there will be at least
five other candidates and perhaps as
many as ten in ALL On the other
hand, they say, if Maxwell should
decide not to run, there will be at
most not more than three actual
candidates.. M. Broughton, Lieute-
nant Governor w. P. Horton and
Tom Cooper.
Which brings Cooper round for
some consideration. He has appar-
emily pre-empted the place as the
"anti" candidate and as long as he
looms as an almost certain contender,
no other so-called Liberal" or "anti-
administration candidate dares get
into the swim, fearing that Tom will
at least take enough "anti" votes to
make it plain suicide for any other of
that label.
All of which is calculated to irk
the liberals" of the Mcdonald school
of thought no end. They haven't the
slightest use for Cooper-do not view
him as genuine, dyed-in- the-wool
''LiberaP' at all, but see him as
politician whose one guiding star is
expediency, man who is for or "a
gainst anything he thinks will get
him votes.
If Cooper can be persuaded out,
and there are indications that con-
siderable pressure has been applied
to that end, there is much greater
likelihood that Willie Lee Lumpkin,
or some other who thinks and votes
likes w. L., will get into the race.
(2) AS for the Hoey and McDon-
aid views and possible plans there
isn't thing definite or provable to
be said. So far there are good grounds
for suspecting that the governor will
continue as clam-like as he did in
the speakership race. AS for McDon-
aid, his recent joking remark that
he will be ''for the man who is for
the people" is about as far as his
stand can be classified.

Captain Tate's own contribution
to the evening in his honor was to
act as modest participant in a
question and answer period with
Carl Goerch, radio commentator and
editor of "The State. In the ques-
ton and answer period, Captain
Tate told of his aid, his encourage
ment and his shelter to the Wright
Brothers when they first came to
Kitty Hawk He told also of the in
glider flights and expert
ments that the Wright brothers had
made before their efforts were

This part of the program, which
