Ii is'110 greater sin to wrong a neighbor than t& ueglect one in need. Paul says the gospel is the death, burial and resurrection of Cfirist. and we mu»t obey it—a “ form” of it.

When a little captain of industry objects to higher wages ,oecause workingmen spend tbeir money foolishly, ask him how he, spends his. Reduction of wages ought to be gin w,ith the idlers at the top and not with the workers. Let them dismiss their waiters, schoffers, etc. It is not the one in the oiggest hurry that dugs the most For a year I have seen a man in a con stant rush. If he has done any thing, no one knows it; If a farmer or a Republican had voted twice in the last election he would have been fined or sent to the chain gang or to the Morgan- ton asylum I wish you all a happy New Year.

This business of raising cotton ir. this'section is a costly one wliei. much fertilizer must be purchased and a gjod season is somewhat ol a gamble. Farmers have found that they cannot profit .frotn this one crop if the price drops much- be'ow twenty cents, and the past year Ins been a rather disastrous one iu, many respects.- {Jnfavor- able weather and low prices have combined to put the farmer who depended upon this crop for his living in a ciffieult situation Governor Gardner said a few- davs ago that a bumper cotton crop for j 93 r will be a disastros blow to this state and is urging that farm ers live at home next year even more so than during the past sea son, and devote their best efforts 10 making a living exclusive of Cot ton crops.

Jndge The Future From Tlie Past It is a common human failing to believe that whenever a lull occurs in the progress of humanity, condi tions are going to continue to get worse instead of picking up asain and going on as before. Nothing like that has ever "happen ed yet. Just 100 years ago Thumaa Babington Macaulay, the famous historian and essayist, phrased the thought this Wdj t ‘ On what prineiefe is it that when we see nothing but improvement be hind us we are tu exoect nothing but deterioration before us?” Human progress, whether in material achievements or social mo rality, is continuous. It has been continuous from, the beginning of time, and will be continued to .the end of time. But we'do not always move at the same pace. We might liken the path of the ruman to ^ flight of stairs on which, at irregu lar intervals, there are long landings Take Rspat Gardner Morrison and his Watts millions ias been an active candidate for Qverman’s pla:e for the past six years and now Gardner, in his spineless attitude has given this :joliticil demagogue a powerful ,po- itical demagogue a powerful pres age over the other candidates for ;he place bv appointiug him to the Dost in which he will serve for two solid years. ' . The spineless Gardner is report- sd to have said when he asked .to name a business man for the place rather than a politician of the Mor rison stripe that “the UnitedState Congres needs every train into na tional service’ hence the Morrison appointment. Wonder what the 25 other can didates, for the place out of the 112 pallbearers at the Overman funeral think of this declaration? As to Morrison’s training and fitness I e has never had any, except being Governor for four years through the grace of Senator Simmons, whom he turned on like a viper in the 1930 campaign and helped rerd him to pieces. Before becoming Governor, Morrison had no repu tation as a business man, was noth ing but a- poor strugling Cnarlotte lawyer and b.id he not annexed the Watts MillioKs during the latter part of his office he would not be living in a “palace” . in Charlotte today and his income tax return would be^a blank.

Hendricks, fo< the past eleven years the agri cultural agent in charge of exten don work in Catawba county, has resigned his position to accept ap pointment as superintendent of thr- state’s Piedmont test farm in Ire dell county. County Agent Hendricks is re signing his Catawba county duties to accept his new work January 1 The promotion which has eouii- to a name for "himself as one of thi outstanding agricultural field mei in the state. The appointment wa- rnade by Commissioner of Agricul ture William A. Graham. The PiedmOnt test farm was or ganized in 1903, it consists of some tiring more than two hundred acres of upland, and a number of agricul tural-projects including livestock, agronomy, legume studies, horti culture, etc., are carried on there Mr. Hendrix has done a remark able job of, organizing club work and his record while here has been considered as constructive and fat reaching as that done anywhere ill North Carolina. He is a man ol seasoned experience in farm exten sion lines. Graduating from State College in 1916 he received his B S. degree at that time. This year he was granted his masters degree. His first practical experience came with'his appointment as agricultur al agent, in Alexander county in 1916 After fourteen months be went into the service for the World War Serving in the Rainbcw division.' At the close of the - war he was tiansferred to the third army headquarters in southern France where he was made instruc tor in agronomy in the A E F university which was established there. He served In that capacity for. six ! months, until the school was discontinued. Mr..Hendricks is a Davie conn tv boy wh.o has made good^ The Record is glad to join his many friends in wishing him much, suc cess in his new field. So, Long, Mary! Mary Frick, youthful school teacher—and, of course, she was pretty or the fioys would have left her at home—who turned bank bandit, must serve her term in pri son, the Supreme court refusing a new edition of a trial which rather clearly proved that she was at best not averse to serving as camouflage for and urofiting from robbery by force and arms. We know this will be a lesson to Mary. We hope it will also be equally helpful to some of the more frisky young females who have, as vet escaped entanglement with the law. North Carolina has not yet developed a taste for gunmen and their molls, and the surest way for a girl seeking thrills by illicit ror mance to land herself and her boy friends right in the middle of sor did reality is to join up with ama teur highwaymen. Bank robbery, or any sort of financial levy by violence, is not, nor it is apt soon to be, well enough organized to prove a satisfying social recreation.

I notice in an editorial in a Iaic- issue of The Record that at presen' Mocksville doe,; uot have a hotel Back when I was a boy-there wei • three; Kelly Hotel, SwWgoor' Hotel.and Engleside Inn. The Iai ter was operated by W- L Sanfon and June Bailey, and all three doiif 1 flourishing business. Englesidi cateied to the sporting class, am -very season that it operated it wa.- filled with Northern hunters. Mt Dolpb Griffin acted as guide, an- was an expert bird dog trainer. Wonder*why the bird hunters qui coming to Mocksville? They go t«. many o'ber points throughout the south. . .. _ . Mocksville supported three. Iiv ery stables. They all enjoyed a good business, and kept from twelve to fifteen horses each. Back in those days an autouio bile would occasionally c o tu t through. Once a party arrived and stopped to inquire for gasoline. Chief Etchison, who attended Ii the town lamps, was the only out- possessing this commodity. They asked that some one direct them tc his supply. "I got iu the car and escorted them to .the town's g iso line supply liouse. and Mr Etchi son let them have all he could spare at 9 cents per gallon. We afterwards learned that the' auto-#■' - — ' inobilists. were Thomas A Edison and-party, and they were on a tour prospecting for Cobalt^so my first auto ride was W ith no other than the great Edison. Wonder how. many remember MajorAlIen Harbin and his Weath er Bureau, which he maintained ill a little btick office in his yard just below Sanford Sr Williams tobacco factory? The Major haa a set of weather flags'that be ran up each day, and he gave out verbal weath er reports along the route as he came=to town each morning. Dr. McGuire, for a long time, was the only doctor in town. He wore a high hat, high boots and long, tail coat, and was a typical old time country ,doctor, and a good. one. He used three large horses; one for buggy and two as saddle horses Lntcr he and Dr Kimbrough formed a partnership and had offices in the dwelling house just in front of Swicegood hotel. ' At that time Mocksville did not have a regular drug store. C. C Santord carried a line of drugs and patent' medicines along with his other merchandise, and his drug department was on the left just as you qntered the store Was there ever a tiiurder in Mocksville? If so, I never ,.heard of it, and I believe this is one sig nificent distinction that the ' tow n bears. ■ There was at one time three sa loons and two bowling alleys in Mocksville. '(This wasbefore .my time, and I gpt my . information from the Iate-Mi M. R. Chaffin.) Thegood women of the town ob jected to the bowling alleys and they wfcfe closed a long 'timebefore the saloonsWere put out by the town council . f Mocksville used to be. a shipping point for vyhisky made around Smitlr Grove, Farmington and other nearby stills. -I- -was work ing for the old Davie Times. :onee when the editor took a job of print ing labels arid letter heads for the .'‘Hunting Creek,,.:Dislilling- Cd.” This was a still located some where'. in the neighborhood - 1 of Farmington.

Times Have Been Werse There are plenTy of, men ano vnmen still living in North Carolina vhnse memories run back to day- vhich bv- comparison make 1930 -eem positively prosperous. Then ire still Confederate veterans among is and others_ivho were of voting age, or nearly so, in the early sev ntiesj and these pe--ple can tell « tale which makes the worst an nounced by our present Job’s mes sengers seem trifling. Everythini we have been suffering this year was suffered by North Carolina in those arly years after the war, but in ad dition to broken banks and no busi they faced the almost complete ruin of tus physical property in the State No tools, no machinery, almost n<- horses and mules, Over a large part if the State, no barns or other out; buildings, and in many places in , no homes for the people—this was e condition which most of us today cannnot even imagine Yet the Stan-' survived, and out of the cinder3 ana ruin built the North Carolina that we know today. Had the people oi that time suddenly been given the half of what is left us-after the pres ent depression has done its worst, they would have considered them selves immensely rich. And if modern North Carolina possesses naif thueourage and resolution ol ih it generation, the State that it wi.l build on the presept foundation will, in the next half dozen years, far-surpass toe best that it ever at tained in the pas’. And who is so pessimistic as to believe that North CarIina in 1930 has so degenerated that it is actually feebler than the racked and ruined Commonwealth of LSG6? The idea is preposterous. A Btate that has withstood a genuine hurricane and come out upright is not going to be blown down by a puff of wind.”—Charity And Child ren, ■ r ' - Senator Watson’s Wish "The best wish I; have for the American people,” Watson told in terviewers, "on this New Year’s day js that they: will be imbued and In' spired by a helpful, psychology throughout 1931 A c o m p le te change in the mentai attitude of the populace in 1931 would mean improv ed - industry and' commercial coridi tiim throughout the nation. - ” We are in the midst of the most peculiar situation we ever have had in 'America. The roads are crowd ed wITh automobiles, the -theatres are jammed, record crowds attend football games and other, sporting contests They all-' seem to have plenty of money ^ "On the other hand we have huge surplus of wheat with thousands of people hungry. We ha'-e a surplus of textile goods with thousands, of people cold. We have banks burst ing with money and yet other banks going into the.discard. ' ,Consequently, many of iour peo ple are enjoying highly prosperous ■ times and others are going around saving'times are bad ’ J never he i fore saw anything quite' like this ’ situation: The yea.- 1931 should and will bring Us hack to Our.usual pro sperous condition. But the basis of Tthatrieturn must be the faith and confidence of our people,” ^ ; A Merchant: Who Had AVision There is a merchant in a small mid • He western town who does a bu-iness of over a million and a half dollars 1 year - Thisimmense volume for a coun- ry 'store has been built up over a ieriod of a d- zen years. - It was done bv advertising I tould not have been done, in an nher way. If this merchant had tot advertised his store and his mer •handise, he would be still- doine ousiness in a' little square front, frame buiriing witha clerk and a Ieliverv boy He wasn’t satisfied to remain thi- itind of a merchant. He had dream- >f a larger list of customers, a big ger 9tore. a larger business. Adver- rising did it for him Advertising will not make every ousiness a million dollar business, out it will increase sales and build ip volume for any merchant who ad vertises liberally and wisely and whr oacks up his advertising _with cour Iesy, service, good goods and mod rn merchandising methods. _ The Way Out Open.

There are two big Fall and Spring events in the Southern marketing world One is when the "first bale” of cotton is placed on sale, usually in Houston and at fancy price; the second is" when the first shipmeht of Florida straw berries reaches the New York market. This season the first, con signment is received-in that city in modern style—by air plane—and is due to excite the interest of the big city, for it consists of 432 ptnts, ail of which, like the first bale; is to be auctioned off, after which Mayor Walker will be presented. with -a box as. a Christmas present. This is the first operation of a straw berry plane' in history,-and the same sort of caper is likely for the, first bale of next season’s cotton crop.

It is up to the democrats of Davie county to get busy and re-assess the value of all real estate in the county. They have a job that we don’t want If they escape the condemnation of a lot of good peo ple it means that there are Solo mons even in these days of auto mobiles, bare legs and crazy men.

Under a Republican board of County Commissioners' the tax payers paid Si.13 on $too valua tion. Under a democratic board of town commissioners the taxpayers have to shell out $1.60 on the £100 valuation. And yet there arc some folks who cuss the Republicans on account of high taxes. Consistency, than art a jewel. Practically all democrats in North Carolina who are at the pie counter now, voted for Al Smith in 1928 So mote it be. To the victors be long the spoils. We don’t -believe, a Republican should be allowed to hold a democrat's job, neither do we believe a democrat should hold a Government job under a Republi can president. Some are doing this During the six years that Kelley L. Cope was sheriff of Davie coun ty he captured hundreds of men aud stills. The democratic papers seldom mentioned any of the ar rests. The Record shall be as fair to Sheriff McSwam as it was to Sheriff Cope. We shall be glad to print all the news that the sheriff turns over to. us. When we get so narrow-minded that we can’t give everybody a sqjjare deal we will quit.the newspaper business and go to practicing law or • some other honorable profession.

Such -news as the above will go far towards bringing better tin ie s throughout the country. informed’ correctly. Mr. Eoger was put in charge of the Countyl home while,the county was Republican in 1922. The late W. E. Boyles was chairman of the Republican board that elected Mr. Boger as superin tendent. If we have been correct Iv informed Mr. Boger’s term of office was not due to expire until August,' 1932. Why he should have been reappointed by the de mocratic board 18 months before his teim expired is another mvs- iery. Mr. Boger has made an ex cellent superintendent since taking charge of this work 8 years ago. Much has'been accomplished under his wise management and it was not thought that the present board of commissioners would displace him before his term of office had expired. IF IGNORANCE WERE BLISS if the taxpayers of Davie county will go to the Register of Deeds of fice and take a look at the records they will find that in January, 1925 the Mocksvijle Enterprise was paid $397.20 for printing the county ex hibit in December, 1924. This is §4.20 more than The Record ever charged the county for printing the exhibit. If ignorance were bliss, 'twould be folly to be blister ed.

The Moore County News savs that the- past Christmas was the hapoiest.-one ever for Rufus Furr, bed-ridden^ rheumatic sufferer living on the highway, in Moore county, J5‘miles from Carthage. Furr not only received a generous supply of clothing and food from the welfare fund for the needy, but arose from his bumble bed of straw where he bad been, lying helpless for many weeks, and walked! He credits his miraculous cure to the prayers of a passing evangelist who stopped at his home Christmas morning. Miss Olive Seagrove, Moore coun ty nurse, vouches for the story. "When I visited the Furr home a week before Christmas,” she said, :‘I found "Fjirr laying on a bed. of straw by the fire place.

H er fight is based on I /eeping her sugar bowl-filled with su gar refined ;in. the United States, by American; labor, and under sanitary conditions, supervised by the. Iawc governing the m anufacture/of pure foods, known throughout the world . to be the best.This clarion call for co-operation is sent out on account of the unfair ad vantage given; to . the Cuban refiners over the American refiners in the - Tariff Bill just recently passed. In tliis bill a subsidy is given to the Cuban refiner of three cents a hun dred pounds, as he can export and enter into, - the U nited’ -States- 100 pounds of granulated sugar for three cents less • duty than the American refiner,lias to pay when importing raw. sugar and manufacturing it into re fined. This saving, unfortunately, is not. passed'on to the American house- wffe. She usually nays the same price whether the sugar is refined in this country or abroad.This un-American and unsatisfactory situation brought about by the Tariff Biil which was passed last summer, amounts to hundreds of thousands Qtm dollars to the -United States refiner, when one considers, the hundreds of thousands of tons of refined sugar imported, because of ,this two cents preferential given to the Cuban re finers, but when this differential is reduced to 'the per pound price to the housewife, it'is so fractional that it is lost to her. , The loss to the. refiners In' the !United States of hundreds of thour sands of tons of sugar to refine^due .to the influx of foreign refined su-. gars, eauses the refiners 'in this country to lay-off labor and ,add to unemployment without any gain or saving on the part of the American housewife. ' ' The tariff law charges a duty of -two cents per pound on . the- raw sugar imported from Cuba to be re fined in this ccpntry. The same, law puts a duty of $2.12 an hundred pounds on sugar refined in Cuba and imported into this country. But, under the most favorable condi tions,' it requires 107 pounds.:, of raw sugar to be refined into 100 pounds of refined sugar in the. Jnited States, which means to . get one hundred pounds of refined su gar In the United States, there is a duty cost of $2.14, or 2 cents a hundred pounds more * than the cost to a ,Cuban refiner.:; In-1925 only 25,000 tons of for eign 5 sugars were sold in. this%coun try, but in 1929 it had jumped up to approximately one-half million tons, and some state that over one million tons will be- ’ sold in this country-the next two years .without one cent of saving to the American housewife and with the additional penalty or reducing; the output of refiners in the United States, which in turn will cause thousands of Ia^ borers to become idle. Over 80,000 >/workers. and their families are dependent on the re fineries in the United States for a livelihood, and. if the output of their' employers is reduced, either their wages will be-reduced, or their, number will be reduced, without. any benefit to' the housewife. By demanding. th a t: her sugar come,-from refineries, located in the United States, employing American labor,. and refined , under sanitary conditions in this country, unem ployment can "be' avoided and con ditions returned to normal in this industry. \ Many have pointed out the fact that the United States is appro priating hundreds • of millions of dollars on one hand to. aid the’ un employment situation, and on the other give ‘ foreign • competition a subsidy which will permit an In?- road into ' established industries that willr beget increased unemployment. »> ■!>- I ' ‘I-■>‘I' Wear Is The Best Evidence Of Good Paint.

A trivial excuse, Abolish Highway Patrol In a Greensboro paper Januarv 6, is an article from the pen,of Mr. John W. Stubbs, of Brown Sum- initt, regarding the cost of auto li cense plates. His suggestion to !itt this burden from car owners is a good one and I, for one, heartily indorse what he says. The General-Assembly should do this without delay and the -next step, which also should be taken at once, is to abolish the state high way patrol, root and branch, and thereby save the state a quarter of a million dollars a year, if the force remains as it now is. Of course if it should be increased, as the job hunters want it to be, no telling where the cost will go. If ever there was a useless ex penditure of , the people’s money, this is a case of that kind. No one ever hears of their accomplishing anything worth while except when some newspaper correspondent at Raleigh.is.tipped off to Spread pro paganda in their behalf, and this happens every time sotne one strikes a blow at this “tax eating” ma chine. in 1930 I drove 27,000 miles in North Carolina traversing the state continually from Murphy to the ocean, and if my memory serves me correctly, I have not laid eyes on a highway patrolman over a dozen times during the entire year, and practically every time I did see" one, it was in some good-sized town where policemen were plentiful. The only thing of any import ance I have heard of their doing was when they were used as an .es cort to the governor during the King's Mountain celebration; and as we have tbatr ouly every fifty years, I suggest that they be told to disband until the next one rolls around, at which time they reas semble for duty on that occasion. Theideaofthe state of North Carolina needing a state highway pitiol is preposterous, when one thinks of there being 100 counties, each of which has a high sheriff with a quota of deputies; each township has a constable, if it wants one, and every city and town bas a force of policemen There is no need for greater po lice force in a civilized country and >n the light of these facts every in terested taxpayer should wiite his representative without delay and respectfully request that this bur den be lifted from their- shoulders. The way to be able to re'duce taxes is'to plug up sotne of the holes where money is,being poured for unnecessary purposes and the financing of this state highway pa trol is certainly one of them. JOHN W. KURFEES. Reynolds’ Earnings Set At $34,256,664. Winston-Salem, Jan. 13.—The annual statement of R. J.

Of Many Minds. The 1931- Legislature of North Carolina is a heterogeneous assem bly. In its personnel arc doctors, lawyers, merchants. Baptists, Me thodist and Jews, insurance men, farmers, and even one housewife. Eightof the 170 legislators have never had legislative experience be , fore, making this Legislature out standing in number of new men. The law leads in occupations or profession represented. The Metho dists lead in church affiliations with the Baptists following a close se coud. while the'University of North Carolina and Wake Forest College alumni predominate in the rauks. ' There is enough diversity in oc cupation, religion, schooling and experience among the members to provide diversity of viewpoint on thfe various questions that are pre sen'ted. The conservatives, .those who have engaged in the delibera tions of the assembly during- the past years, aud thus have had tbeir enthusiasms tempered with exptr- ience, will probably be stimulated by 'ihe injection of new blood. But perhaps- the most 'important factor is the occupational element, for practically every law either en acted or contemplated has a differ ent bearing 011 different kinds of businesses. What is one man’s meat is another’s poison in this re spect, according to the activity in which one is engaged; The farm er wants the tax taken off land. The merchant opposes the sales tax. The manufacturer fights the gross sales tax, the lioldei of for eign stocks wants no tax on in comes from : this source. In fact nobody wants to be taxed, but ev erybody wants to enjoy the bene fits of.taxation. It will require the w’ifdom of a Solomon to reconcile all these different viewpoints!— Twin-City Sentinel. —- — Some In Davie.

Some are proposing to delay Ihe revaluation of the state's property until a later date. The law specifies this time and we are in favor of pro- ceeding with.it. Still we fear the truth? L etusfacethetruthofthe situation bravely. Every one know our property is assesed to high, therefore, it should be reduced to its market value, and let the rate go up if necessary. Three hundred thous and dollars per day for the goverr-ment of our state is ex travagant and a disgrace. Let us reduce this amount to terms of cotton: At $50 per bale it would rtquire 6,000 bales to meet the expenses of one day. One man can gather a bale in 10 days, there fore, it would take 60.000 days’ work to harvest enough cotton to pay for government in North Caro lina for one-da} I This would require 16 men, working every day 10 vears. This does not account for the in.itiaJ, cost of fertilizer or labor of produc ing this cotton, which is far greater than the harvesting. They tell us to produce less cotton. How can wtr? If we keep our highly assessed land we must pay the taxes on it. Extravagance should be stopped promptly. E v ery organization^ board or commission not a strict ne cessity, should be discontinued.

Surely an election law that permits so many irregularities to tie committed for the benefit of certain good Demo crat's who want to hold office, and crowns the violator the hero of the day, certainly must be a good law and-not be subject to change with out careful consideration and mature deliberation.

Wouldn’t it be an act of mercy on the part of the state if it should give some days of grace for the purchase of the hew places, and wouldn’t it be profitable to collect the gasoline tax on the gas the cars would use that will have to be. parked -for lack of new license plates? Relief from tax. no, never so long as the Democratic party reign in the state goes unchecked Spon cam paign times will come and the state tell-will be,fi ioded with literature ing about the Hoo*’er prosperity, and the Democratic campaigners will tell the people how the tariff has robbed them, and then the people will for get the trouble they have in paying their high county tax-,- their city tax, and the price of, the new license plates, and all other trouble caused by the Democratic extravagance.— Ex. ^ — The Way of Man. nMan is of few daja and full of trouble HeJaboreth all the davs of his youth to pay for a gasoline char-.. iot, and when at last the task is fin ished L"! the thing is junk and l:e needeiii another He planteth cot ton in the earth and tilleth it dili- - gently, he and his servants and !us asses, anu when the harvest is gath ered into the barns, he. oweth th* landlord $8 40 more than the crop is worth.

Here’s hoping that the ground hog, when he comes ont two weeks hence, will not see even a sign of bis shadow. When the people turn over their affairs to strangers and foreigners they need not be surprised at any thing that may happen. One by one the democrats who voted for Hoover in 1928 are being k’cked out of office and Al Smith democrats put in to fill their places. Let the good work go on. The more the merrier. When a de'moctat gets a big salary or charges a good profit 011 his work everything is peaceful, but when a Republican lands a good job at a high salary, tlie devil is to pay. It all depends on whose ox is gored. SolicitorJones may be kept pret ty busy when he visits Davie coun ty next March. The Solicitor has the proud distinction of being the only Republican Solicitor in North Carolina. He is a good one and we are ail proud of him. More strengtn to his arm. Thirteen years ago the ground was covered intsnow from the n th day of December until the 2nd day of February. Thiswinterthe first snow fell on Dec. 16th, and the ground hasn’t been free of snow from that date until this is written. We are hoping for the best but are preparing for the worst. Everybody howls about high tax es, but no one does anything about it. Everywhere public money 'is wasted. Mote people are employed to do the same amount of work than any private business could stand. In some county and state offices there isn’t room for the cus tomers because of so many deputies. The attention of our readers is called to an article'on the first page of today’s Record written by Mr. jiohn W. Kurfees, of Winston Sa leui; dealing with the question- of abolishing the state highway patrol men.- If we are not mistaken there are 36 of these patrolmen in the state, drawing a big salary at the expense of the taxpayers of the state. If they have accomplished anything worth while during the past 18 months, we haven’t discov ered it. We dtin’t know where they were during the holidays when ten or. fifteen people were killed in this state in automobile wrecks. During the time thev have been patrolitig our highways six persons have been killed in auto wrecks between Mocksville • and County Line, a distance of 9 miles, and if our memory serves-us right there wasn’t a patrolmen in hear ing distance of any of these wrecks. The only good this patrol accom.- complishes so far tar as we can find out, is to give jobs to 36 hungry democrats at a big salary. What do pur'democratic taxpayers in Davie think about this matter?. They say we are too poor to pay a county treasurer, that our aged needy and infirm, and our children do hot need a county welfare officer; that our farmers ao. not need a county demonstration agent-to help them solve their., many problems. Do they think-tbaVDavie needs a state highway patrolman? We have a sheriff in Davie, together with a number of deputies scattered through all parts _ of the trolmen who seem never to be at the right place at the right time? We think that Davie’s Senator and Representative should join Senator Dortch,of Wayne, in trying to have this highway patrol abolished. The Record would be glad to have its readers in Davie and elsewhere, write and tell us iust what they think about this matter. It is a long time until the next election, but we understand some of the bovs are very anxious to get 1 whack at some of those who pro •uised them jobs and didn't make good. Well, such is life in a de mocratic county. Some of the big boys who have been holding, jobs under the de mocratic administration, don't like it because the legislature has been asked to cut their salaries. We know of some office-holders who should be cut fifty instead of ten per cent, and they would be draw ing twice the salary that they earn. ' The democrat or Republican who will sell his vote, or let a party of politicians buy his influence, is a mighty sorry fellow. But the meanest one in the whole bunch is the fellow who will sell out to both parties tn the same election We have heard ot such things not a thousand miles from Moeksviile. Such a fellow should be chased out of the United Slates and made to spend the rest of his life in Mexico “13” Unlucky Number. J V. Barringer, well-known in surance agency man of Alhe-uarle, former Salisburian, who has manv friends here, contends that he has. discovered the cause of the 1930 depression and cites figures to prove his claim. Says Mr. Barriuget: "The year 1912 was a dull year for business, as it had the biggest slump in a long time. . After 1912 and until (921 the country was prosperous, work plentiful, and times good However, 1921 was one of the worst business, years on record. This was followed by good business until 1930.

People of some North Carolina districs possibly will look with en vious eyes upon the allocation of $785,000 of the Federal Highwav Aid Fund in the Seventh North Carolina District. This is the largest share set aside for any Nohb Carolina district The next largest is $620,000 and goes to the Fftst North Caiolina District—the lowland section of Eastern Carolina, where there is~liule UixabIe pro perty from which to derive road re venue. ,.The fairness of placing such a large sum in ibe seventh District is apparent,'however, if the matter is given a little though*. In the first place, the roads in this area are traveled as much—as any in the "State. This calls for a quality and width of road which will allow the most rapid transportation. Moreover, this is an area where road construction in done at the greatest cost. The mountainous nature of the country and the fre quency with which streams are en countered and must be bridged give engineers plenty of cause for care ful study. Although some fairlv good roads have been, constructed, they have been hewn out at great effort by the State and additional improvements would be most ap propriatelv placed. There is stil' another advantage which other sections of the Scate will appreciate on second thought With improved roads, and even greater territory of North Caro lina’s wonderful mountain country will be made available for the North Carolina tourist, as well' as the Northern and Eastern tourist. And the advantage -of having a play ground in the great out-doors only a few hours drive away is souit- thing to be prized.—Wiuston Jour aal. Has Us Guessing. Those who view Ihe salary cm with alarnron theory that it will out increase our ills by-curtailing buying power and will thus affect business disastrously, have a-body guessing when .you try to go through with it. The salary cut is supposed to contribute to the de crease in taxes, and' on that theory the buying power of the taxpayer would be increased a trifle by the cut. Then there is the idea that if the placeholder’s buying power is , kept at par he will whoop up trade, which in'turn will whoop up busi ness generally and everybody will have their taxpaying power in-, creased. If that is a good thinj;, which thing, which seems to be .the idea, why not help it on by giving all the placeholders, from the goveruoi down to street sweep ers and janitors, a ro per cent in crease In wage, which would in crease their buying power, contri bute to the revival of business and -thus find the taxes to pay the in crease? And if that would work all right, why not pass a law com pelling every employer of labor— overalls, white collars or what not, from the humble laundress and sin gle maid of all work up to employ ers of thousands—to give each and every employe a boost in wage, salary, honorarium or whatever it is called, which would increase buy ing power and taxpaying power and make everybody happy, em ployers possibly excepted? Being s wage slave we are disposed to look with favor on this last named proposition, which we. would ask 5^e considered by the economists who protest that cutting the wages of placeholders would add to the general distress. It is" admitted that there would be some distress. Whether the joy’on -account there of would much more abound and whether those who rejoiced .-would %£>w not Ivhat they do, is where tlie argument begins and the by- . stander declines®) go farther for that reason.—Greensboro News.

Land posters at this office Soihe of the Things Only the Old Ones Can Recall Editor Joe Tom Robertson, of !the Madison Messenger, who is a ’frequent visitor to Winston-Salem, i wauts the old-timers in his section ;t> tell him if they can recall when I b-jys and men put their shirts on I their heads; when everybody could hitch up a horse; when there was no such things as wrist watches and a hired girl was lucky to $2.00 veek. Or how many remember when boys collected cigarette pic tures; when everybody had tonsils and kept ’em; when nobody had appendicitis and most everybody kept the Sabbath Surely there must be a lot of ,tolts around who can remember when they carried a lantern.on the dash board of the. spring wagon and drove through mud, dirt or loose rock most of the time; when they slept on a a straw tick and took a bath in a wash tub in the kitchen only on Saturday nights; or when women wore Mother Hubbards; when a brick covered with carpet served as a doorstop and when Congress gaiters were the most stylish of shoes. Eut if you can remember any or all of these it isn’t a sign that you are getting old. Its just a sign of good memory, says the Madison editor. -Twin-City Sentinel. Bank Has Good Year.

Mauy local stories have been re lated about the cold weather expe rienced the past few weeks, it be ing contended that it was the long est low temperatures since 1917. the year of the arm}’ catnps and contonmeuts. when snow remained j»n' the ground in some sections from shortly after Thanksgiving until some time the latter part of March. Old man J. W. Bailey, of Hilde bran, however, tells of some colder weather than we are now having. He is quoted in the Morganton News-Herald as saying: When folks tell me this is the coldest weather they every saw I tell them they haven't ibeen living as long as I have. I remember one winter' that was a good deal colder than this one. It was back in the seventies, I think. The suow was .twenty-six inches deep. The Ca tawba River froze over before Rhodhiss shoals,, and lodged below. This froze and more mush ice lodged which also froze. It kept this up until the river got out of banks The water rau into the bottoms and frcze there. It was so cold that much of the timber iu the woods froze.' You could hear it popping and cracking while it freez ing. Pople going to mill on foot walked across the Catawba River on the ice with their turns of corn on their shoulders. In the kitchen at home the dish iag would freeze quickly hanging on a nail above the fire place. It seemed to me like it was about as cold as it could get." ______________ My Gosh, Bob. Two years ago when the Repub licans came in power iu Stanlv county they asked for resignation of the Democratic welfare agent who had made himself very obnox ious to the Republicans of Stanly but he refused to get out and the only way to get rid of him was to abolish the office. The Democrats got back in power again in Decem ber and the past week the pressure was so great from the office seekers that, the commissioners re-establish ed the welfare office and named a Norwood Democrat to the place. The Republicans of Stanly saved the.cpunty many thousand of dol- iark but were unable to hold the Jitie iti an election manned by par tisan Democratic election officials. —Union Republican. Tbe Age of A Worker. That Muskogee, Okla., contrac tor who advertised for & number of bricklayers and specified that they must be more than fifty years old. seems to have good sense, evtn if he is running counter to the gener al trend in industry. - “Old men are the best," he says. “They know more, do better work and do it more easily. This stuff of turning men off at forty-five, as many do.'is piffle.” It would be bard to pick any flaw in that argument. Indeed, it is rather likely that industrialists generally will return to that point of- view in the next few years. The craze for youthful workers has gone beyonn all reasonable bouuds and a reaction is certaiu to come. — Muncie, Ind , Tress. Here or Hareafter.

Mr. Coffield. of Rutherford coun ty offered a bill in the legislature to requite North Carolina to tradi at home In the employment oi school teachers. It would have re stricted the employment of public school teachers to bona fide citi zens of the State, those holding the proper ceitificajes. Tue prohibit ion of inter-State commerce as il relates to employment, or trade, b not within the province of tilt State assembly, so the Coffield Hiill was killed in committee Legisla tors, however, expressed much sympathy with its purpose. It appears that in recent years the State has run much to the mail order business in the employment of teachers in public schools. Large numbers of teachers from other states—Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina and Georgia especially— have secured employment in our town and county schools. A num ber of teachers in the Statesville schools, for instance, come from other States. It is said that one reason for the influx of out-of-State teachers is that North Carolina has been paying higher salaries than some of the other States. There has been much complaint on the part of home teachers about this employment from outside, to their hurt. Iu manv instances evidence has been offered to show that North Carolina young women, college graduates or otherwise meeting the educational requirements, with cer tificates certifying they are equip ped to teach, have been passed up while the jobs for . which their home folks put up the motley are given to non residents aud to non taxpayers; and of course nobody can offer a sound excuse for this discrimination, all things being equal. The legal prohibition is imposs ible aud it would not be good pub lic policy if it was permissible. But the teachers and their friends and kin who feel that the home talent has been neglected for the foreign product might make use of their votes and influence to some pur pose It is very probable that the employment of so many 11011 resi dents is prompted bv the same fal lacy that sends money away from the local community to neatby cit ies or to other States—the delusior that something better is beiug se cured necause the distance lends enchantment and lor no other rea n. The stranger has an appeal iu such matters that the home folks have not and for no better reason than he is a stranger. The non-resident may not be as good, or certainly no better. We know that is so in buying commodities. In buying the foreign teachers there is no lure of buying for less. They are paid the same price that the home folks would be nata— home folks here meaning Noilh Carolina folks. Capable teachers may not always be able, for va rious ,reasons, to find work in their immediate communities. But in this case the State is the field that is under consideration. NobodyVbelieves, .as a general proposition, that as capable teachers may not be found in North Carolina as in any of the nearby States from which so many teachers have been imported. Therefore it foljows that the discrimination is without sound basis and as a discrimination is contrary to public policy. It is simply a matter of giving work to, home folks who are able to, per form, who are capable, rather than bringing in outsiders, it. isn’t an objection to the outstders of them selves. If the legislators feel that an in justice is being done the home tal ent, they can do something about it in their home communities if they are arnind. They can also National Leaders Dis agree.

I pass a resolution if they (eel that ,way, expressing it as the sense of ’ the legislature that the home pro- I duct should have preference in the 'employment, qualifications being equal.—Statesville Daily. One hundred and sixteen million dollars for public works, forty-five millions tor the relief of farmers who were affected by the 1930 drought—that is the stun which congress has put into the presid ents hands since December 1. as a further effort toward getting monev into circulation and getting men back to work. That ought to help a lot. Many important Fedetal highway pro jects have lieen held up because the states concerned were not in a posi tiou approprialetbeir share. Under the new aporopriation Federal Gov ernment pays as its share. It is de finite now... that the largest road' building program of any year will be carried through in 1931. The trouble with public works as a means of relieving unemploy ment emergencies in that, they can not be begun instantly. • Until money has been appropriated by Congress, State ; Legislature or municipal governments, the preli minary plans cannot be drawn. Everybody knows'that the build iug of even a simple house lakes a great deal of preliminary time in selecting the lot aud drawing the plans before the hauling of materi als to the job can commence. How much more time it takes to start work on such a , project as the Hoover dam few of us realize. Engineers have been at work for a year on the plans,Jand are only just now ready to get bids for materials and work. It will l?e several months before actual work, in the sense of employing any considerable body of workers, can be begun. The Hoover dam. is' going through, however, and so are the new Federal highways at a great program of new'Federal buildings: Tbe preliminaries have been large ly attended to in 1930; 1931'will see the money beginning to flow in to the pockets of hundreds of thousT ands of workers. ’ Saturday Was Instruc tion Day.

Jharity and Children We agree very heartily with the Itatesville Landmark that the ah- o-ntee ballot has ser-ed its day and the best thing the legislature cun do with it is to cut it uut entirely. It was perhaps needed at the tin e it was enacted but that time has passed and if the people are not careful worse things will come upt n them. We lived for many yeais without the absentee ballot law ai d we got along better than we do now. It invites corruption and ft often brings what it invites It is the most dangerous thing in our elec tion laws ana the sooner we get rid of it the better il will be for all par ties concerned Tbe proper way to vote is in the fl-ash and to cast our ballots in person and not through somebody else. There are a great many important things for the' leg islature to do but in our judgment nothin'g is more important than to relie e our status of this abominable feature of our election laws so open to objection, as this war measure is not only unnecessary but positively vicious because of the opportunity it offers to dishonesty in elections. In many respects our election laws can be improved, but the casting of absentee ballots is perhaps the most objectionable of them all. Pays to Advertise. Those who have been in the news paper game many years have seen merchants and others driven out: of business by their failure to adver tise. as did their competitors. The story is told that after several years of unsuccessful effort to get aolocal hardware merchant to advertise the publisher of a Kansas weekly , news paper was surprised to : receive an order for a full page from the for mer non advertiser. Glancing at the copy, the publish er discovered that it announced a "closing out saie.” The hardware man was going out of business His advertising competitors had . taken his trade and there was nothing -left for him to do. So the newspaper man had landed his prospect at last. The merchant recognized the pow- cr of advertising to help him to get out of business, but had failed to recognize its power to help him stay in business. There are a lot of mer chants like that —Ex.

Road Patrol Gets Knock Raleigh—The first ’ bloiv at the state highway patrol was struck Thursday when Senator Hugh Dortch, of Wayne county, intro duced a bill to repeal the acts pass ed in 1929, establishing the patrol as a division of the State Highway Commission. Senator Dortch maintains that the state highway patrol as now constituted and maintained is vir tually worthless. Since it is so small is to have little or no effect in the prevention of accidents or curbing of reckless driving. He also main tains that its members are more concerned with perpetuating the oower of the Highway Commiss ion than with patrolling the high ways and the prevention of acci dents. “ There ate just as many cars with only ODe headlight on the roads now as there were before the establishment of the highway pa trol, there are just as many cars and trucks with no tail lights, just as mant ^reckless drivers and as many violations of the motor ve hicle laws as ever, so unless some thing is done to make a real high way patrol, I think the psesent pa trol should be abolished and the §150 000 a year which it costs be spent for something else,” Senator Dortch says. If the highway patrol and the Next Monday, Feb 2nd, will be a big dav in this seciion of the country.

The attention of Bishop Mouzon, of the Southern Methodist church, is called to the following item which appeared in the State dailies last Wednesday. Senator Walsh, democrat, of Massachusetts, an anti-prohibitionist, in speaking of the Wickersham report said, “The report is an exhaustive indictment of prohibition. Mr. Hoover take’s his stand with the probioition wing of bis party and nails his own and his party’s banner to the dry mast head.” The Bishop, in a\speech a few days ago, intimated that Pre sident Hooover wouldn't express himself, and that he, the Bishop, didn’t know how the President stood on the whisky question. He knows now. Stroud School News. As we have not seen any news from Stroud's in so long, thought we would send in a few items. Our school is in full blast again with Miss Effie Booe as teacher.

We are printing on our first page to lay an editorial taken from the Statesville Daily beaded, ‘ Import ing Teachers.” This article is well worth reading and meditating upon. Governor Max Gardner has been advocating a “Live - at-Hom e” movement in North Carolina. We wonder if he wouldn’t be in favor of a ‘-‘Hire Your Home Teacher.” Every time a teacher from out of the state is employed to teach in our schools, it means that some North Carolina teacher is forced to go elsewhere to get a job. Tbe teachers from other states are gen erally non-taxpayers ami it is claim ed that they come into this state because salaries paid teachers are higher here than in some adjoining stater. Some of tbe improrted school teachers who don’t list taxes in North Carolina are always ready to go to the polls and vote when election day comes. We helive in patronizing home industries when possible. If the teachers are to be imported why not order all your goods from niail order houses and • close the local stores to save ex penses? The outside teachers don’t come any cheaper than the home home products Seems that our boards of education and ,.sehoo| boards should do some Senator Grant and Represents tive Grant of Davie, have been asked to do everything possible to abolish this highway patrol. The taxpayers of Davie are too poor to employ a welfare officer and a coun ty treasurer, much less a uniform ed highway patrolman. No Hard Times Here.

Friday night on the local court the Mocksville high school boys and girls took on the strong Coo- leemee team for the third time this season. The MocksvilIe high gtrls won their game by a 25 22 score, while the Mocksville boys played an extra period to lose by a 17-14 score. The girls game was nip and tuck throughout the entire game. Neith er team was able to run up a large score. It was 20 all and a very few minutes to play when Dwig- gius and Rodwell tossed the fatal shots to defeat the Cooleemee team. Dwiggins, right forward for the locals, led the team in scoring with 11 points, followed by Jones, cen ter, with 8, and Rodwellr lett for ward, with 6 points. The Mocks ville guards showed excellent style from start to finish. In the boys game a tough battle waged from tbe time the whistle blew until the last second of the game was finished. Neither team was out of danger during the game and first one tea n was ahead and then the other. At the close of the game the score stood n all. An extra five minutes period was played in which the Cooleemee boys scored six points to the locals three. G . Craven, running guard for Mocksville, led the scoring with five points before he was taken out on fculs We are not making ex cuses but it is evident that had not both the Moeksville guards gone out on personal fouls that the chan ces were that 110 extra period would have been necessary. Craven and Hendricks were both relieved by substitutes on account of four per sonal fouls. For Cooleemee Pierce led the team’s scoring with 6 points and Thompson next with 5 points. Captain Ward, of the Mocksviile squad, played a good defensive game, holding the veteran Cooiee- mee player. Sigmon, to only one field goal during the entire game. Alexander, right forward, for Coo- leemee, was held scoreless with ex ception of two foul goals. The magnificent guarding of the locals held their opponents to a closk lim it.

Ln cal farmers lost money in 1929, and even more in 1930 on cotton and corn; they made all the wheat they needed and' had a surplus worth $143 470 in'1929; although the cost of corn was prohibitive for profit on a commercial basis; a surplus of sev en per cent worth $23,518 was pro duced in that year. Davje farmers iacked 47 per cent, raising enough oats for home use, and rve production was below par. A surplusofsweet potatoes worth $18,498 was produced; a surplus of $20,000 in Irish potatoes with enough I tor home use was disclosed; beef and mutton Droduction was short; more than $47,000 worth of milk in ex cess of home needs was recorded in 1929 and an excess pork production of $29,860 value was noted Over against some losses noted, farmers made $7 per acre net on hay; $9.40 on sovbeans; $7,17 on cow peas; $53 60 on Irish tSoratoes; $46 02 on sweet potatoes; $20 90 on dairy cattle, eased on butterfat. pri ces; $4 43 per head on hog? ; $24 75 per acre on tobacco upon an aver age production of 664 pounds. There is also a large surplus of to bacco and prices for the 1931 crop, due to limited expoi-t possibilities, dscreased consumption of cigaretcesj etc , are expected to be lower than that no *r being paid for the 1930 crop The farmers are urtred to materially reduce their tobacco acre age on this account. Mr. Sheffield pointed out some bright spots, incidentally, urging the farmers to plant Irish and sweet potatoes with a view of marketing a small surplus He pointed out that potatoes at 50 cents per bushel from acreage yields of from 100 for sweet to 250 for Irish, would far ex ceed in prufi:s tobacco at 8 to 12 cents per pound or cnttcn tqually as low. Henoted a great opportunity for farmers to actually make money by producing more hay and legumes and thus save the usual ouiUy for these products. Mr. Sheffield laid the present slow demand for miik pnd other dairy products to the unemployment situ ation, which ,has reduced buying power. However, he urged dairy men to hold on to their herds and when conditions begin to revive they will then be in a position to reap the advantages therefrom. Hogs even at present prices present a better opportunity for profit than either cotron or tobaccp and pork prices are expected to advance due to the drouth and shortage in the great producing centers of the Middle West, he said. Concluding Mr Sheffield urged the farmers to adjust themselves' to rapidly changing conditions if they wish to keep ■ from being "sifted out” in the present fast age. Be: described the period of the '903 as the “iron age,” the early 1900s as the ' steel age” and the present as the “electric age,” each period call ing forth its ownremedies to meet the exigencies of the movement. Now, he urged, is the ffme for. the farmers who wish to make a success to keep abreast of conditions and meet current issues with respect to crop economy and ultimate profit. 'Not rnly farm women but farmers themselves and others were deeply interested in the able discussion of the subject of bodily health, food values, farm table menus and kind red questions by Miss Ruth Current, district home agent. The speaker presented her argument in favor of the ,“live-at-home” program in de lightful style and clear-cut detail.— L J.

The next reduction came iast week week when one local barber shop dropped the price of hair cuts 10 cent and the price of shaves five cents. I Then a shoe shop began shaving off.the price of half soles, full soles, I lubber heels and other shoe work. I Another shoe shop came back in an advt rtisement, and make another slight slash or two.

Sixty Feet Under Ground In constructing the waterway, the largest of its kind ever undertaken by a single business concern, the ■ engi neers are burrowing sixty feet under ground for a distance of two and a fifth miles. They have gone under main highways, railroads, street car tracks, bridges, a cemetery and a creek. One of the most difficult tasks was that of tunneling under Baby Creek at a noint which Is crossed by a railroad bridge and where also a large sewei is under construction by the city of Detroit. The piles that provide the foundation for the bridge and those driven by the company constructing the seiver formed a network on each side of the creek, it was the task ol the Ford engineers to burrow under the creek, sewer and' bridge, going between the piles without striking or weakening them. Boring of the tunnel is accomplished by means of a shield—a" large steei cylinder fourteen feet long and twenty OQ «2 C VJ f i t LIQUID or TABLETS Cure Colds, Headaches, Fever 6 6 6 SALVE ■CURES BABY'S COLD The head of one of the sections of the Ford tunnel showing the machinery used to burrow through the ground.

This shield has a bulkhead which is made fast near the front end.

When the shield has been pushed forward sufficiently concrete blocks iwo and a half feet wide and five feet long, eacb weighing 3,420 pounds, are placed to form a ring around the cir cumference of the tunnel. One of them acts as a keystone so that the lining of concrete, which is eighteen inches thick, withstands the pressure of the earth. After this steel forms are set up and filled with concrete to form a solid inner lining which is also eight een inches thick. The present intake system of the Ford plant has a capacity of 500.000;000 gallons a day. The new tunnel will be able to carry 913,600,000 gallons. Congratulates Lucas. The Messenger fesls honor bound to congratulate Robert H. Lucas, executive direetor of the Republican National Committee, frankly de clared that he had ordered campaign literature against Senator Norris sent into Nebraska in the recent pre-election campaign. Mr. Lacns said he had paid for thik out of his own campaign. Mr. Lucas said he had paid for this out of bis own pocket and that he acted his own re sponsibility, without consulting any one. Further he asserted that Senat or Norris was a Democrat, not a Re- Republican. He was opposed to the election of President Coolidge in 1924 After Mr. Coolidge became president, he, Norris, was opposed to the President’.= policies. He op , posed Mr. Hoover in 1923 and sup- ported Al Smith. Since Mr. Hoover ; has occupied the presential chair Norris has been opposed to his poli cies, and in many instances to his ap pointments, among the appoint ments he has opposed was John J1 Parker, of our state, for a number of the supreme court. If Norris is not a Democrat then is there a De mocrat in the United States? Yet Norris is either ashamed to acknow ledge the fact that he is a Demo crat or lacks the courage to say that he is, or prefers to parade for his now advantage under the Republican banner. - Give us more men of the tpve of Mr. Lucas, men who have vision; men who have ability, men who have courage, and who are not a- fraid to speak out.in public and point to the glaring instances of disloyal ty to the party and to the Adminis tration by many of those who were. nominated and elected on strictly I party tickets. As a party we need discipline and cohesion and construe- j tive vision on the part of those in trusted with the responsibility; to lead. The isiioner men of Norris’ tvre are not recognized as R=publk canB sooner will the party not he handicapped by _ those who have;' taken the place of political gray mat-1 ter—Uraham Messenger, • . • * TheyLikeTo TaIk. j We make progress in killing’ them on the highways.

December killings numbered 87 There were fewer injuries but that seems to mean that we are killing more, making the work more deadly, leaving fewer survi vors. Lieutenant Early of tl e State highway patrol, talking to a feeding club at High Point, de clared for the elimination of the “ fool” drivers "either by enforce ment of laws, educate on or better construction of highways.” What is meant by “betterconstruction of highways” we don’k know, but we’re “agin” spending money fof construction to safeguard against fools. The public had supposed that Lieutenant Early and the rest were on the job to enforce the laws, which would, if actively enforced, be an educational process that would count for something. But the State highway patrol people love to talk. Sometimes one might think they were on the job for that. —Statesville Daily. Wear Is The Best Evidence Of Good Paint.
