Capital Gossip
By HENRY AVERILL

Raleigh, Jan. 4.-There are two
things more than ordinarily out
standing about the letter OF J. I.
Shoffner. farmer, Of Route Number
One, Julian, N. c., with which the
State is being circularized.
Cd 1t is probably the first time
in Tar Heel political history that
such a circularization has been done
for candidate Nee Gravely, OF
Rocky Mount) who hasn't even an
nounced he is running.
(2) The post office at Julian has
never been overwhelmed with mail
of this type. This is shown by the
printed authority under Sec. o62,
p. L. and R., showing that one cent
postage has been paid. These per-
Imits run serially and continue on
from one year to another. The per-
nit on the Shoffner letter is No. 2,
indicating that once, and only once,
before in its history, Julian's post
office sent out such mass OF mail.
The circular letter itself called for
election of Gravely because, If
chosen, he would be the first lay
governor in long time.
Its been forty-four years since
North Carolina had other than
lawyer for its governor, Shoffner
wrote.
Commissioner of Revenue A. J.
MaxWell's haste to rush out state
ment praising DR.. Clarence Poe's re.
tirement as possible candidate for
governor indicated clearly that he
has no objection at all to becoming
the residuary legatee Of the conced-
eddy strong support the Progressive
Farmer editor has among the agri-
cultural folks Of North Carolina. The
Poe gesture, said Maxwell, was "in
keeping with the unselfish quality
of this public service as the States
most useful private citizen"
The Highway Safety Division es-
Inmates that North Cardinals motor
vehicles travelled more than four
billion, eight hundred million miles
during 1899. Which adds up to sew
eral trips from home to the office
and back.

lieutenant governor, is in favor of
a motion that "the nominations be
closed"

while here Wednesday.
''In fact, I've been in favor Of such

 Congressman Smith introduced the Home Guard bill in the House this year when it became apparent that the National Guard was to be called into active training service. In pre- pairing the bill he was advised by the secretary of war that under legislation at that tmie there was nc authority for the organization oi Home Guard troops, and that there was no authorization for the Sec- retary of war to issue equipment to the units in the states.
