Too much publicity on the exploits
of North Cardinals educated beav-
ers who built a dam in the same
spot that men engineers had pro-
posed one brought too many visitors
to the spot, with the result that the
beavers have suspended operations
and moved further up stream.
Raleigh, Dec 21.-State Senator
Tom Gold of High Point indicated
while in Raleigh Tuesday that he
likely will run for the General AS
sembly again next year
He was quite prominent in the
1889 Senate as chairman Of the Judi
ciary No. l committee.
The High Point laW-maker said
there seems to be practically no
chance that his home city will enter
serious candidate in the sixth dis
trict congressional scramble next
spring; and which ought to mean
that Greensboro's John Caffey will
get humping big majority in Gull
ford.
But you know it's absolutely i'm
possible to unite Guilford on any
one candidate for anything", warned
Senator Gold.
Closest competition in many moons
marked sale of $4,000 in water re-
funding bonds of the city of High
Point by the Local Government
Commission Tuesday. The successful
bidders offer bested the next by
only $13620 on a transaction which
involved more than 100000, con-
sidering both principal and interest
Which is much too close for COM
fort.
Sources which are none too re-
liable and which do not have the
complete confidence Of this bureau
indicate a possibility that Clarence
Poe will not run for governor, but
will announce his support Of Com
missioner of Revenue A. J. Maxwell. |
Could be- and there are some evil
dences Of authenticity; but not too
many.
Item chasing in these days and
times in Raleigh is quite difficult
Job, so if the pickings appear very
and exceedingly slim, blame at least
part OF it on old Santa and the COM
ing New Year.
State Departments are more or less
marking time, with employees all
in a tWitter over their Christmas
shopping and their approaching
holiday from Friday afternoon to
morning.
Raleigh high school has decided to /
drop boxing from its sports calendar |
and prOgram ostensibly because
Coach Jimmy GeroW moved away
and there isn't anybody handy to
replace MIN.
AS a matter of fact, boxing is
marked for erasure from the entire
North Carolina scholastic Slate. Of
flclals high in the Department Of
Public Instruction, notably DR.. j.
Henry Highsmith, are dead set
against it. Dr. H., for example, is
quite openly Of the opinion that box
ing IS no part Of sport. He is
against anything which, as he says
has for it's primary object the
knocking cold of an opponent"
The d. of P. |. folks are going to
have more and more to say about
high school athletics as time goes
on, too. Appointment about a year
ago OF physical education specialist
tor the State was the beginng of a
movement to take the sports pro-
gram from the present hap-hazard I
methods Of the so-called CONFER
ances", and introduce something re-
a unified program which .
will embrace all schools; with equals
in various groups classified accord ,
inc to enrolment
When and if that is done, present
titles" will became
