in the expectation that it would
increase national income to a

be balanced.

SELF-NVITED GUESTS
SERVE CHICKEN SUPPER

The birthday of Mrs Berta
Vaughn, pastor in charge OF the As
sembly of God mission, was eele-
brated Thursday night by a group
of friends who, invading her home
during her absence after prayer
meeting service, were in waiting up
on her return with a full chicken
supper which they had brought.
The self invited guests served
supper to eighteen and the occa-
sion was a most happy one. Mrs.
Vaughn's birthday was on the pre-
vious Sunday, but the party, though
four days late, lacked nothing in
festive spirit. Members and atten-
dants OF the mission joined togeth-
er in ordering as a birthday remem-
brance for their beloved friend and
leader, a fine edition OF a Schofield
Bible, which they knew she was
desirous of having.

OTHERS VIEWS
THE GOVERNORSHIP
To the Editor:

10 Inc EQlIOT.
After travelling over five thousand
miles the past two months in North
Carolina, and asking every person
met with for an expression of their
preference for the next governor, this
scribe has found that the name Of
Hon. A. j. Maxwell heads the list
of prospective candidates at this
time. He is regarded as the best quail
flied man that has been mentioned
for the honor. He is probably the
best tax gatherer since Saint Matthew
sat at the seat of custom when Jesus
walked this earth. Saint Matthew
was such a successful man that
Jesus called him to follow him dur
ing his pilgrimage. Collector Max
we'll has been so successful in his
present job that the people think he
deserves greater honors and from
present indications they will call him
to the governorship next year.
The man who follows Governor
Hoey will have a hard road to travel
in order to attain the high standard
of excellence which the governor has
SCI lOI Ills SUCCGSSOI. ILNG!l IllOSC WIlO
do not say they favor Maxwell are
warm in their praises of his splendid
service to North Carolina through
many years Of devotion to duty. Max
we'll always rings true to his party
and he treats every one alike in his
dealings with the public He probably
knows the problems Of the common
Wl lth more intimately than any man
in the State and if he is chosen as
| the successor of Governor Hoey he
will be perfectly familiar with every
phase of the State government and
can administer the affairs of State
with greater ease than any potential
candidate who has so far been men
toned.
! His loyalty to the party and the
State deserves recognition and when
the TACT is taken into consideration
that he is and has been for many
years profound student of state
craft under such a galaxy of able
governor as he has served under for
the past quarter of a century, no one
will be able to deny that he is by
training and experience the natural.
logical candidate to carry on the
good work of Governor Hoey and his
imminent predecessors.
Something may transpire in the
coming months to change the present
complexion Of the governorship sue
cession, but if people vote as they
are now taking all over the State,
the next governor of North Carolina
will undoubtedly be A. j. Maxwell.
The sentiments expressed for him
are not confined to any class or pro-
tesslon. He has become the best and
most favorably known public official
IN the State with the exception of
Governor Hoey, and their names are
frequently connected as the present
and future governor.
Cordially yours,
JAMES H. HOLLOWAY.

SPEED LIMIT RULING
is GIVEN BY BURTON

Raleigh, April 28.-(AP)- The
1889 law fixing the maximum speed
limit at go miles an hour does not
modify an earlier statute making
slower speeds prima facie evidence
of recklessness, Assistant Attorney
General T. Wade Bruton ruled today.
ut simply puts maximum speed,
above which it shall be unlawful to
operate any motor vehicle" Bruton
wrote of the new law. The ruling was
requested by J. Archie Cannon, Jr.,
Greensboro attorney.
Bruton said a 1887 act made it
prima facie evidence of unreasonable
and unlawful speed to exceed 20
miles an hour in a business district,
25 miles an hour in residential dis
trict, 35 miles an hour with transport
trucks, 80 miles an hour with trans
port truck trailers, and As miles an
hour under other conditions.
