BY HENRY E r


RALEIGH, Jan. 2O.-Wonders will
never cease! State Senator Emmett
Bellamy of New Hanover says he
saw three candidates for governor
while visiting in Raleigh Thursday
land only n Of them said any
thing about politics."
Here's a mixed sort of compliment
for former State Senator L. A. Mar
tin of Davidson, now a candidate
for lieutenant governor.
Il may not think he's right even
fifty per cent of the times he takes
a stand" said Lynn Nisbet, acute
newsman and political observer, but
I know he sincerely believes he's
right every time he does"
Like the umpire, he calls 'em as
he sees 'em.
There were six candidates for con.
gress from the Sixth district, and
eight from the Eighth in 1888; which
would make the seat of Lindsay War.
rem the only one safe from oppo-
sition if that equality of district
number and candidates were uniform
all the way from first to eleventh;
but consider the number of candi-
dates each district would have if
there were n for each county in
each district.
The setup would be like this: First,
ID candidates.; Second, s; Third, 9;
Fourth, Z; Fifth, Z; Sixth. 4; Sew
enth, Z; Eighth, -; Ninth, 9; Tenth,
10; and Eleventh, 10.
The Sixth district is already in
that fix-it has four counties, four
candidates and there is talk of a
lot more.
Now that Bob Doughton has de.
cided to quit at last there is likely
to be n of the maddest, most wide
open scrambles up that way; but
even so it is doubtful if there will
be a candidate to the county, on an
average.
From the Eleventh, where Zet
Weaver has reigned for many years
with a brief inter.regnum when he
was unseated by George Prichard
when it was the old Tenth in 1928,
comes word that threats Of oppo-
sition to the incumbent veteran seem
to have subsidized to a point where
there is little prospect Of a fight.
There has been some talk that
Senator Bellamy, mentioned in the
first item of this column, planned
to run against Fayetteville's j. Ba-
yard Clark, but if he still has any
such intentions he said nothing of
them in conversation with your re-
porter Thursday.
Commissioner of Game and Inland
Fisheries John D. Chalk talked for
more than two and a half hours be-
fore the board of conservation and
development in defending his posi-.
ton in the controversy between his
division and the Federal forest ser.
vice over control Of deer OF National
Forest lands.
He said he would appeal the ad-
verse decision of the Federal Dis
trict court to the circuit court and,
if necessary, all the way to the U. S.
supreme court.
When he was through, the board
voted there will be no appeal unless
director R. Bruce Etheridge and the
attorney generals office approve af.
ter a conference on the subject.

able building for the housing of
the Public Library owned and
maintained by the community, as
a whole, which will be available
not only TO its own citizens, but
also its guests.
With proper legislation, the
Woman's Club could be permitted

to reduce the cost of this part of

In conclusion, I would like to
quote from a recent Miami Her

brary Week (this week., which
also applies to this city:
IF this city is to maintain its
cultural march, if it is to hold
it's position among the progress
sive communities of America, it
must acquire and maintain a
suitable Public Library.

MAN IDENTIFIED
AS DEAD is ALIVE

Continued from Page One)
feet had been tied, and a stone
had been fastened to his body.
Roy Hamlin last night received
a telegram from the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation at Wash
ington stating that it had no
fingerprints of the dead man on
file. Discovery of a slip of pa
per in the dead mans pockets
bearing the cryptic notation,
Poison Dick No. 244,948", gave
rise to the belief the man may
have been a former convict.
Hamlin, as Identification ex-
pert, had been trying since Mon
day to establish the identity of
the body. He learned that a man
who formerly roomed with Mr..
and Mrs. Millen Roberts, 702
Pearl Street, had disappeared.
Mrs. Roberts identified the body
as being that of Hatch, according
to Hamlin.
Learning that Hatch formerly
worked as a bellhop at Trumbo
Hotel, Hamlin notified Albert
Mills, proprietor. Mills and Mrs.
Mills, as we'll as William Warren,
son of City Health Officer Will
liam r. Warren, who worked at
the hotel, also identified the body
as Hatch, Hamlin said. Later j.
A. Rankin, GIT Whitehead street,
where Hatch formerly roomed,
also made a similar Identification,
the officer reported.
Several people declared this
morning that there was a re-
markable resemblance between
Hatch and the dead man. Mr..
Mills and William Warren told
The Citizen today that they posi-
lively did not identify the man
as Hatch.
The only other person who
knew Hatch, who was not posi-
tive the body was Hatch's, was
City Jailer Laurie Roberts. Rob-
erts had talked with Hatch on
numerous occasions when the
young man was lodging at the
Jail before he got a job at the
Trumbo Hotel. Roberts said he
could not be positive because the
bloated condition of the body OBJ
scured certain facial characteris-
tics marking Hatch's face.
After he had declared himself
this morning, Hatch said he had
enlisted in the Coast Artillery
here on January 3rd, the day aft
er Mrs. Roberts reported he had
checked out of her home. Hatch
admitted he sent Mrs. Roberts a
post card on January 4th stating
his intention to pay up his back
room rent.
Hatch lost his job at Trumbo
Hotel when he was unable to pay
$22 in long distance telephone
tolls, which he accumulated call
ing his mother at North Carolina
and young woman in New Jer-
sey, according to a report filed
with Police Chief Ivan Elwood
by Mills. Chief Elwood arrested
Hatch at the time, but ordered
his release when Mills decided
not to prosecute.
81 had some tough luck at first.
but I guess everything will be
all right from now on, Hatch
said.
