Appropriations amounting to $58,- 832.05 were made by the Board of County Commissioners for the cur rent fiscal ye ar.and at the end of the first five months of the year ex penditures amounted to $27,006.69. with $31,903.79 remaining on which to operate for the seven months vet to come. One of the over-expended items was $65.05 in the general fund Item, where appropriations amounted to $30,183.- 89, with $13,336.83 expended and $16.- 911.61 remaining. The other over-ex pended item was in the road fund, where no appropriation at all was made. The poor fund showed appropria tions of $10,150.61, with $4,767J0 spent and $5,382.91 remaining. In the salary fund, appropriations were $12,757.50. with $6,486.66 spent and $6,270.84 re maining. The health fund had an ap propriation of $5,740.55, with $2,402.12 spent and $3,338.43 remaining.

But it is understood that he much prefers to return to his large law practice in Marion rather than accept a Federal job. The pri mary reason for this is that he would rather seek the Democratic nomina tion for governor of North Carolina in 1936 than become a Federal pie recipient now. It is agreed that the acceptance of a Federal appointment would undoubtedly hamper any one with aspirations to become governor. Another reason Winborne is not in terested in any Federal job. entirelv aside from his desire or intention to j seek the Democratic nomination for governor in 1936, according to those who know him best, is that his pre sent law practice is much more lu- I ciative than any Federal appointment he might l>e able to get. It is said by I those in a position to know* that Win borne is still one of those compara tively few' lawyers in North Carolina still haring an income from his legal practices of at not less than $25,000 a year, it is also agreed that he will need to save all of his income lie can for the next three years if he intends either to run for governor or to be come governor. So far about the only out-in-the open candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor in 1936 is former Judge Thomas L. Johnson, of Asheville, formerly of Lumb4rtop. and who for a time was expected to be a candidate for the nomination In the 1932 primary. There has recently been some talk concerning the possibility that Superior Judge H. Hoyle Sink might be a candidate for the nomina tion in 1936, while several other names have been mentioned. But op inion here generally is that if Win borne does become a candidate--and the conviction that he will is growing here daily he will immediately be as sured of ver> r strong support from both the western and eastern sections of the State. For while a resident of Marion, in the western part of the State, he is a native of Chowan coun ty. in the extreme eastern part- With regard to Shuping. it is gen erally agreed that at the present time he is being urged for the appointment as commissioner of tnterrio.l revenue in Washington, with Senator Balky and several of the State's congress man using their influence to this end. The more conservative political ob servers here, however do not believe that North Carolina is likely to get the appointment of the commissioner of interna! revenue again, but that it is likely to go to a Kentuckian or n Democrat in some other state. So the belief here is that all Shuping and his friends hope for is to get the ap pointment as collector of interna) re venue here in North Carolina, w'hich is really just about as good a job. from a financial standpoint, as Is Ihe commissionership in Washington. Shuping and his friends are hence re garded as merely using political strategy in aiming at the larger office in order to assure his getting the col lectors job here. Several others are being mentioned for the appointment as collector in this State, among them being Lieute nant Governor R. T. Fountain and Walter Murphy, of Salisbury. But Shuping has the edge on them all, it is agreed. UNDERSTANDING IS ROOSEVELT ASSET (Continued from Page One.) governor.

Al’s worshippers probably would die for him sooner than an equal num ber of voters could be found to die for Governor Rooeevelt. But if AI attracts 'some tempera ments, he repels others. The governor's attraction Is strong enough for practical purposes, and his repulsion is negligible—for he has "savvy.” The folk he meets may not go into transports, but they all like him. There were complaints a-plenty dur ing the campaign that the governor was vague and evasive. True, he won by a record majority. “Yes.” Senator James Couzens of Michigan, a forthright statesman if ever there was one mentioned to tne a few days after election, “and see the freedom of hand which he gains by his so-called vagueness. "A man may very easily feel con fident of his ability to accomplish a given object (a competent judge of accomplishments, too, the Wolverine solon) and yet entertain considerable uncertainty concerning the means, de pending on circumstances, by which he will accomplish it “By remaining vague, the governor is not now tied to a set of hard-and fast policies which, in action, per haps he will wish to exchange iri a hurry for others.

The ‘ principal criticism to be brought against the reading public Is not in regard to what it reads, but how it reads. To read, mrak, learn, and inwardly digest is an art. Those things are best which do most to expand and further human life and happiness. Democracy is not merely the gov ernment of a majority. It is the gov ernment which best expresses the country as a whole, and towards this ideal the power assigned legally to the majority is merely a mechanical means.
