RALEIGH, Jan. 4. - There are
two things more than ordinarily
outstanding about the letter of j.
T. Shoffner, farmer, of route num-
Der one, Julian, N. c., with which
the state is being circularized.
~ It is probably the first time
in Tar Heel political history that
such a circularization has been done
for a candidate (Lee Gravely of
Rocky Mount) who hasn't even an
nounced he is running. .
(2) The postoffice at Julian has
never been overwhelmed with mail
of this type. This is shown by the
printed authority under Sec. 562,
P. l.. and R., showing that one
cent postage has been paid. These
permits run serially and continue
on from n year to another. The
permit on the Shoffner letter is
No. 2, indicating that once, and
only once, before in it's history,
Julian's postoffice sent out such a
mass of mail.
The circular letter itself called
for election of Gravely because, if
chosen he would be the first lay
governor in a long time.
ITS been forty-four years since
North Carolina had other than a
lawyer for it's governor" Shoffner
wrote.
Commissioner of Revenue A. j.
Maxwell's haste to rush out a
statement praising DR.. Clarence
Poe's retirement as a possible can
didate for governor indicated clear
ly that he has no. objection at all
to becoming the reisduary legatee
of the c~oncededly strong support
the Progressive Farmer editor has
among the agricultural folks Of
North Carolina. The Poe gesture,
said Maxwell, was Sin keeping with
the unselfish quality of his public
service as the states most useful
private citizen"

Inmates that North Cardinals motor

returned cautiously to the wheat pit
today in sufficient numbers to bid
prices up more than two cents a
bushel at one time although about
half of this advance was lost be-
fore the close.
News of Allied counter-attack
was considered by traders as some
what less bearish, a relief which,
they said, the stronger securities
market confirmed. Nevertheless, the
European situation was u for
considerable uncertainty and, with
selling checked by the minimum
price pegs, most dealers were inclin-
ed to await developments. The mar
ket showed more composure than
at any time in - days.
Belated short.covering by dealers
not wishing to deliver wheat on
May contracts caused the price of
this contract to rise to IS IL, up
2 ga, just before the close. This
was the last session for dealing in

that were not settled must be fill

ed is to s-4 lower; rye 3-S to 3-4
higher and lard SO to 43 higher.
Export interests reported the
United Kingdom bought 500, 900 bu-
shells of Canadian wheat for August
September shipment from Montreal.
Another strengthening trade factor
was the report that flour business
last week was double or triple mill
ing capacity. Fear Of possible DAM
age to late winter wheat as a re-
suit of black rust in the domestic
southwest also attracted attention.
