Clyde B.vburn Hoey, of Shelby, is hunting no trou ble and neighbors from the hill coun try say he hasn't the .-lightest notion of hurrying Uovcimoi Ehriughaus in to a special session of the General Assembly, not with tainting the com mitments of his two opponents. A. It. (raham and Dr. Ralph W. McDonald. Mr. Iloey has heiml the plausible Argument Unit a special session might ciuic.t such a program as to take all insides from from Dr. McDonald's body of doctrine.

Governor Ehriughaus gets that suggestion oftener than anybody does, and he has no occasion to do anything to help one of his most per sistent critics. If that session should come hero again, it would he sure to get into a row over the liquor question. Mr. | Graham knows how lie stands on that issue and Mr. Iloey has told the world where he always has been. Dr. Mc- Donald was less dogmatic abon! that ’ subject in Raleigh last winter than no was about any other. He had very great convictions on taxation, tint none for public purposes on liquor 1 taxes. He observed after the assembly i j adjourned that cases and restaurants -j were soiling very high kick wines and -I beers and drunks were following. In r i deed, while wets and drys are trying - to say whose liquor causes these I j drunken drivers, everybody s wine - may he helping. I since I lieutenant Governor Graham thinks the governor should see the , need of a special session and cotirage l ntisly call the body to Raleigh; and l inee Dr. McDonald perceives embar rassment for the State if it. docs not ; pass some enabling legislation, Gov ernor' Ehriughaus can give Mr. Hoey a big boost by teaming with him i on this call. Mr. Hoey may have to summon the assembly here if he is ! elected, governor. He has been State . and national legislator. He knows when communities are well off. i Raids On Drivers Don’t End Drunks (Continued f rom Page One ) ! may have been drinking its own brandy, a concoction said by drinkers to he as good as anybody's and bet ter than the cheap stuff in Virginia. Two things stand out in these fig : tires: The highway patrol is running in these drunken drivers. Patrol sta tistics on highway deaths do not dis ! close any startling proportion of drinking in these mishaps, but many accidents may be the indirect result of liquor. Certainly, with the roads full of drunken pilots there would be many times more danger of fatal ac- I cidents. The first big attack of the patrol was on useless killings. It is too early to set up claims, but the doubled pa trol and the many times multiplied activity of that organization must show in the reduced killings, the pa trol feels. And every time a driver ■ loses his license he advertises the fact. The renders take heed. The patrol reports now almost ex clusively drunken drivers, but there is just us vehement a campaign a gainst careless and reckless drivers as against the drunks. Undoubtedly these reckless persons cause more killings than liquor does and they are HENDERSON (N. C.) DATLY DISPATCH, MONDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1935. very much harder to convict. Ihe statutes do not. define careless and reckless persons very pat. Rut liquor had the faculty of making testimony against itself. The reckless driver gets mother chance after his first offense and therefore has a double advantage over the drinking man. Still the pa trol will have considerable discretion in making arrests. Two practicing physicians, one woman, and a lawyer or two have lost their licenses. The professional man deprived of his car for' a year finds making a living a very difficult thing. The publication of the names or those men whose licenses have been revoked, the officers feel, is doing more good than the courts can do to moke highway travel less fatal.

In the meantime, the United States government by its purchases had bid the price up to such heights that China could sell its silver at a profit. Then, the United States turned upon China once more. It stopped bidding. Rightly. It had been bidding the {trice up against itself. And the bottom dropped out of the world market. Wake Is Watching Franklin Election (Continued from Page One.) Douglass and Clarence E. Mitch HI. from Raleigh, and E. M. Thompson, from Garner, voted dry every time, but new candidates are declaring for county control. If Franklin votes it. Wake will be tempted and four votes in the assembly might balance a lot of power. If Franklin goes dry, as the leaders of that cause believe it will, Wake’s wet candidates will be careful how they talk. Representatives of whisky houses have been watching the Franklin poll ever since the campaign began. But there has been little or no excitement in the fight. The election was delay ed by court action which undertook a restraining order that later was overruled in the Supreme Court. If the wets carry Franklin, the failure of their injunction will be accorded first, place amongst the reasons for the overturn. Nine of 14 Victims of Bus Crash at Hopewell Identified at Morgues (Continued from Page One.) agreed this morning that the inquest would boa mere formality in the full investigation as to why the At lantic Greyhound bus smashed through a safety rail and into the draw, which had been opened for a tug and barge. "All we can do is to say they are dead, sign the death certificates and say if was an accident,’’ Mayor Eld er declared. The identified dead were announced as follows; Mrs. Anne W. Duncan. Pitlsboro.

Alford, driver of the Grey hound bus that crashed through a drawbridge near Hopewell, Va,. yes terday and drowned 1-1 persons, was well knowm here. His run was be tween Raleigh and Richmond through Henderson, and the bus had a regu lar stop in this city. Officials and attaches at the Union Bus Terminal ihere knew Alford and were very fond of him. He was last here on Saturday on run north, from which he was returning Sunday when the fatal accident occurred.

Experience Gives Answer The Pitcairn island experience furnishes the answer. Here was an actual instance where humans mar ried and bred with their relatives.
