Blum’s Almanacs here. A Voice In The Dark. My father anrl a partner were mining prospectors; Tbev bad hunted for seven years and had never seen anvthiug but hardships. At last they struck it rich and were it home celebrating their good luck, when my father’s partner got drunk and shot father in the back. Every one thought when father's partner escaped that lie took the documents and directions to the mine with him. If he had >r had not. no one knew, for no >ne bad ever seen the papers or knew where they were. The night with which mv ston ieals came a year later on the ex xctdatethat myfather was shot Mother was away aud my baby ■sister and I were the only ones at home. It was raining so hard that night until one’s voice became drowned in the storm. The house which we lived in was old and shaky, it creaked and cracked aud seemed to moan as the rain beat down upon it. I sat up reading until nearly nine o’clock and then I listened to the radio till nearly ten o’clock. I went to bed and be gan thinking about my dear dead father and at last I drifted off into a tioubled sleepf I awoke sudden Iy as the clock struck half past eleven. I was about to go back to sleep when I heard a .noise like thunder. It was followed by run ning feet and a cry. Then a light suddenly shown on the wall and I noticed it shown brighter, in one spot than any other. I thought this queer, but I had no time to think because I became so frightened that I was turning every color in the world including . sky blue and blue black. I shook so I was sore a week, after, my teeth chattered so I had the toothache, the light appeared again and in the same spot as before. I just kuew someone was robbing the house. Suddenly I remembered a pistol in a table drawer beside my bed. I got out ot bed and secured the pistol. If it had gone off, it would have more than likely hit me for I ivas shaking all over. Then I froze stiff and gave my knee caps exer cise by shaking, tor I heard a noise in the next room where my baby sister.slept, twas a choking cry like someone strangling.. I just knew the robbers were-choking my sister Then I heard a sound and a bold, clear voice started speaking. I be came excited and fired three times at the speaker. The voice said “Ladies and Gentlemen, you.have Iust been listening to sounds in a haunted house. We are now sign ing off KDK A, Pittsburg, Pa.” I switched on the light and it was the radio. I had left it 011 and it now had ,three holes in-the speaker as the result of my shots. Then the misterious Itght again shown on the wall and I saw it was.the lightn ing dashing on a bright piece of tin which reflected it on the .wall. I breathed a sigh of relief and put out my hand Io lean against the wall, but the wajl gave away and I saw a secret panel ot safe in the, wall. As the clock struck twelve r was readjug the directions to my father s gold mine. "No one had known the safe or secret panel 'were there. ■ BILLY ROBERTSON, ; 1Pth Grade"" Shady Grbife High School. “Big B ir Wins: Again^ Chicago, Feb.1 24.—“Big Bill” Thompson, invincible as ever, won his fourth mayorality nomination in the Republican primary election today, defeating by a plurality es timated at 45- 000 the crime-battling Jud|;e John H.

Charity and Children claims the floor to observe: if,: ■ The warfare that has been waged on “out of the State teachers” i.~ very senseless. It taakesnodiffer ence where a teacher was born if she is faithful and competent and does good woik in instructing the children. What sensible parent holds that North Carolina has a monopolity of wisdom and tlie only teachers fit to teach their offspring? It is carrying State pride much too far to bar any teacher from outsidt the State from doing work in- out North Carolina schools.. It would be seuseless. indeed to attempt to bar teachers from other States coming into North Carolina, and so far as we know nohody has seriously proposed thdl it be at tempted. Aud it would be equal ly foolish to claim that Nortn Ca rolina teachers should'teach North Carolina children. That, so far as we are aware, has not been serious ly suggested. Charity aud Child ren is setting up a man of straw and knocking him dowu. But there has been talk to the effect that great nutnDer of teach ers come in from other States and get jobs in .North Carolina while many'ot'tue home product are ii. the ranks of the unemployed; and thajt among these unemployed are persons who have college training and the teachers certificates as to their capacity to do the work re quired. All that sensible people have suggested in this connection is that the home product, whose folks pay the taxes, should have a fair showing and, all things being equal should be given the prefer ence. Nooody believes that ;:so many outsiders are employed be cause of superior attainments, or because there aren’t home teachers capable of doing -the work. Tlie habit is the same as mail order buy ing from peddleis instead of from the home dealer, accepting checks, from strangers. , Wc take up with strangers because they are strang ers. Nobody would exclude the . out-, siders'simply because they are out. siders. The criticism is'that they are eployed because thry are out siders—not because they are more capable of. doing the work, hot be cause there are not North Carolina- teachers in abundance, equally ca pable and competent. The state ment of the’ case makes quite a difference.—Statesville Dailey. Cash. in advance is a wonderful policy for the buyer, but' hot such a success for would be sellfers. Planning to make money and getting'it into your batik ,account are two very diffierent undertak ings. . Barium EdgesOut Over Mocksviile Highs. (By H. S.

Ifw ew ere asked to name the most unjust bill introduced in the present session of the North Caro, iipi Legislature, we would un hesitatingly select the measure proposing to levy a five per cent tax on consumers of gas, electri city, and water.- / VfThis bill, is grossly unjust. be cause it proposes to tax only one class of citizens. It is the .most pernicious piece of class legislation suggested to date. For the- State tax proposed Wpuld be paid almost entirely by residents of cities and towns. ' Certainly the Legislature will -not give serious consideration even to such a proposal. But, if it should then in-all fairness and justice it must also tax cord wood and kero- sense lamps and wells and springs, provided, however; that in time of drough when wells and springs go dry no tax shall be collected from that source. . Such a tax as this on.city dwell ers or on farmers is preposterous. It . would not and ought not to -be tolerated by the people' of North Carolina —Winston Journal.

The Live-At-Home piogram for the week of Feb. 16, as designed by Gov. Gardener was carried out in detail in a most interesting way, by the entire Smith Grove school. Each grade, by the aid of its teach er, worked each day on some phase of the program. Essays were written, booklets formed, and post ers made. Every morning the High School and higher grades met and listened to the Live At- Home radio programs broadcast from Raleigh and WinstotfrSaIem1 These talks were verv educational and . proved interesting to the pupils. The week was brought to a suc cessful and inspirational close Fri day, when the work of each stud ent, of each grade, was placed on exhibition in the gymnasium of the school. Each parent was in vited to come out and see what his child had accomplished. Much in formation was gained for the im provement of the farm and farm life. The High School students, together with the patrons met and heard a practical and informational speech by Mr. Georgel Evans. It was fortunate for those hearing. Mr Evans that he could be pre sent and give to them, out of bis abundant store of knowledge, so ' many valuable farm helps. He is the capable manager of one of the largest farms of the county, aud was formerly Davie County Agent. Mr Evans gave a general discus sion of the Iann and us products. First he stressed the value of the Live At Home program. He said that manv useful ideas are brought out each year by our Live At-Home Programs; that the children have aided their parents much' by their study of last years program. “ The products of North Carolina,” he stated, “should be kept, in the state, making it possible to keep the flioney in the state.” He en couraged the farmer to raise less c >tton and more grain crops Mr. Evans contrasted the farm ing conditions in our section ot the State with those of the eastern part of North Carolina. “ The main p iint iu farming is the soil. To in crease the health and cash of the family, the food of the soil must be increased.” Sitb-soil ing and the use of lime were given special attention. “To improve the soil keep working it and feed • ing it. Different types ot soils need differed fertilizers. These soils should be studied. In raising tobocco the growers should study the type of tobacco ,on demand and strive to meet those demands. “ For the diet of Dairy cattle, legumes along with silage are im portant. It is necessary to put more science into the dairy. With less cows more milk'is produced.” Mr. Evans brought out the fact that sheep ^should-be added to the live stock of the farmer. . ' In the end Mr. Evans requested that the. patrons should ask any questions that they were iu doubt about. They responded and many important facts were discussed. At the close Mr. F. E. Taylor, Smith Glrove principal, expressed his ap preciation for the presence, of the visitors and‘‘or the useful informa tion given, by Mr. Evans. It may he true that it takes all kinds of people to make a world, but sometimes we think it is over* stocked on some varieties! • How on earth did' the aut ever earn its reputation for industrous- ness considering all the picnics, it attends?

The Record, together with hund reds of good democrats and Repu blicans. are hoping that the coun ty commissioners will not see fit so move the county’:'. money to some oiher county. We have a good, sound bank in Mocksviile, and there is also a good/bink at Coo- leemee. To send our money to some other county would be a mighty blow to Davie county. The democratic legislature which is in session at Raleigh, doesn't seem to believe in economy. In stead of abolishing the State high way patrol, which is costing the taxpayers §150,000 a year they have already, or are preparing to increase the patrol from 37 to 89, thus 'giving an extra 52 hungry democrats a job This is the big gest fool thing that the present legislature has put over so far this year. Every penny that The Record has received from Dnvie county since the present editor and owner came here nearly 24 year.-; ago, has been printed in the county exhibit which has Deen printed for 22 year= in The Record. No one has tried t okeep it a secret as to how much this paper has charged for advertis ing-and printing for the county. The same rates have been charged the countv as are charged other advertisers and business houses for printing. The records are 011 fi e in the office of the Register ol Deeds and anyone who doesn’t take The Record and get the county ex hibit, can see the records hi the court house at any' time. This paper has never accused a demo crat of trying to steal any of the county's money and doesn't pro pose to do so. We believe the court house officials to be honest men just as we believe the Repub licans who formerly held these of fices. were honest irien. There are a few two bv-fours who are small enough to think that 110 one can be honest but a democrat. - Salisbury Wins Over AU Stars.

Stroud ) The Mocksville high basket ball teams went to Cnoleemee last Thursday night and met the high cagers there for two games which resulted in both victory and defeat for Mocksville The local giris won by 31 26 whiie the boys lost by an 18 it score. In the girls g mie the Mocksville plavers went against 1 heir old rivals wi'li determined looks' 011 their faces and at the sound of the whis tle began displaying the kind of pep and energy only seen- in real teams Both teams showed fine team work and at the half the M. H. S , girls led bv 19 to 17 In the last half Cooleemee added 8 points but the Mocksvillians put 011 a round dozen ro take the game by 31 26. For Mocksville Jones, with 15 points, and Dwiggins, with 14 points let the offence while Riden- hour was the scoring ace for Coo- leetnee with 17 points. This is the second time this year that coach Moore’s girls have pushed Coolee- mee aside in-defeat. In the bovs game it looked at first doubtful as to which team would emerge victor as the score was 7 all at half time. The Coo- leemee boys however took an early lead in the last half and came through ahead by 18 to 11. Neely, for the losers, led the scoring for both teams with 9 points, scoring every field goal made for -Mocfcs- ville. Alexander, for Cooleemee, was next with 7 markers.

Th? govern r for dunking, while the t'dit'-r of :he ConstiLt: ion maintained th-ai S *uthe: n tradition requires crumbling. Several noted statesmen have been called upon to arbirate the question. In order to maintain their friendship with the governor and Senator elect and the Atlanta editor, most of those who have expressed an opinion, contend that potlikker is good, whether corn- bread is crumbled or dunked. Jim McDaniels, managing editor of The Sentinel, who was born and reared in E istern Carolina, whei e they knew how to make the best p itlikker, says it was a matter of c ioice with the "down easterners about dunking, crum bling ur eating their cornbread separate* Some cornbread separate.

Some additional re venues can be procured from sources other than ad valorem taxes but these will not be sufficient to sup port the schools of the state f-->r' six months. What will-probably happen in an increase in the equalization- fund and the provision that this fund shall be used, not to helpithe poorer dis tricts to extend the school term to eight months, but to held finance the six months term.

The seats are generously wide, deeply cushioned and carefully designed to conform to the curves'of the body. Every new.

They absorb the force of road shocks and also provide a cushion against the rebound of the springs.

Tlieir Golden Wedding . Anni versary was celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. Gaston L White, with their fiye children families, relatives and friends in attendance, at their home is Cana, N. C., on Sunday, March first. Jonquils and trailing cfedar a- dorned the home throughout. ^ A color note of gold at/d ivbite pre Iominated in decorations and re- treshments in the dining room, where the Bride and Groom enter ed together, taking their places at the table under a large wedding bell, which was fashioned of gold crepe paper. The table was centered by a large three tierred wedding cake, decoration in gold leaves and mounted by a framed wreath of orange blossoms in center of which stood a miniature Bride and Groom. Trailing cedar and jon quils festooned the table around which the guests assembled to be s;rved a bountiful dinner, consist ing of roast meats, potato salad, stuffed celery, sandwiches, devilled e£gs, olives, pickles, cake and coffee. Thanks were returned by Mr. A. Hoyle Hinkle, ot • Greensboro, N. C., and Mr. J. E White, cous in of the groom, acted as master of Leremonies1 making quite an in teresting talk regarding the wed ding of this couple attended by him 50 years ago, and their lives to gether up to the present time. In a very appropriate manner he then presented the bridal pair with go'.d band rings and $50.00 in gold, the gifts of their children. Gifts frotn others present were opened at this time, among which were many use ful and beautiful articles. Between the hours of 2 and 5 p. m., about 125 guests called at the White home to extend felicita tions with attractive gifts to Mt. and-Mrs White.

Tbe Talk Is Weak. Constitutional amendment pio- Dosed to extend the term of coro ners and sheriffs to four years. Tht proposition doesn't inteiest here- and we can’t set at a casual glance that it is of enough importance-j.t< involve the trouble. But the pro ponents have injected some talk ir support of same that provokes re mark. Electing coroners ajid slier iffs, especially sheriffs, for foui years instead of two, will add ma terially to the “stability” of coun ty governments, it is declared. A; it is now, they say, the sheriff ha; to devote so great a part of his twe years to getting elected that he 1; handicapped in his duties. Biin? Iected once in fourj ears he woulc oe able, the term extensionists con tend, to do more real work for .the public instead of devoting so much time to “building and repairing political fences.” The only problem thac we know of in connection with the coroner’t office is getting some trusUvorth> citizen to be bothered with it. On rare occasions it may be highh important, seeing that the corone can arrest the sheriff if need be But the duties are usually so un important and the renumeration so small that a contest for the of fice would attract state-wide at tention. Giving the sheriff more time to work for the people who pay him by reducing the necessity (or his giving so much attention to his own affairs might have an appeal if it be conceded that the elective official is entitled, as a matter of right, to all the time he deems ne cessarv to labor in-his own behalf, to the nsglect of his official duties; which isn’t conceded. The fact that officials do that way is custom, not a right. Moreover the average elective officials, especially county officers,'work at their fence, build ing and repaiiing all the time in connection with their official duties; so little, if anything, would Ie gained in real service from the ex tension. Moreover also, we are unable to vision why the argument for four years for a sheriff might not as well apply to registers of deeds, treasurers and county com missioners. In fact a better argu ment might be made for theexten sion of the terms of commissioners They can do as they please about it, but the talk for_ the extension has a large percentage of bunk in the composition.—R R Clark, in Greensboro News. Charlotte Man Fears Legislators^ Charlotte, March 3. —Thomas C. Hayes, president ot' the Charlotte Insurance Exchange, telegraphed Governor Gardner today asking him to adjourn the general asseni bly, Tlife text ot his telegram read: “ I understand you were sent to Raleigh to. represent the people of this commonwealth: With this in mind and before anything else can be done to further retard business, I suggest that you ad journ both houses, send all repre sentatives to their homes and have the law changed so they will not meet again for ten years.” President Hoover's praise of ad vertising finds unanimous agree ment among the newspaper editors, even hard-boiled. Democrats admit ting he is right. So far as we have been able to observe the modern flappers are able to take care of themselves and at the same time, - two or. three times as many men.

This Ceheral Assembly will un doubtedly before it' adjourns enacts legislation that will provide means of redeeming homes of taxpayers, including their farms, in all case- where they have been foreclosed for taxes. The plan of redemption should provide for pavmehtsin small installments over a term from tim e to seven jears. In most cases these Jands have been purchased by the counties and it would be . far better to permit the owner to repurchase on long term payments than for the counties to sell them to others or try to hold ,them. And of course, they will repeal ! The law under which excessive costs and fees are imposed when land , is ‘sold for non pajment of taxes. I th£se costs are nothing short of in- j defensible: extortion—News and !Observer, - , Nimble Dollars.

Such an argu ment will not stand up for isn't the general election held on Tues day and some how or other they all manage to. vote or at least their votes are counted whether they are present or not.

This 2 nd day of March, 1931. W. B ALLEN, - Clerk of Superior Couft DavieCounty WiIlTheyHeed? We may have a few more “skiffs” of snow arid lasts ditch reminders of Winter’s lap lingering, but by and by, the day is approaching when the farmers will get out their plows and • begin ripping up the land for cot ton, and The Observer might under take to draw the mind of the people out on the farms away from watch ing the progress of “relief” mea gre= at Raleigh, to a proposition in self-relief and safeguarding from iistressps with the coming c.f the next cotton selling season. ' In the fii-st place they should get tbeir minds cff “old’times.” for tbe good >ld days when the farmer could nustle his newly-ginnfd bales -to •narket and get a profit-price for the staple, have gone — and only the farmers can bring themJback. New conditions are to be faced. It seems to be a hard matter to wean the if the farmers away from former conditions and to get him to face the new cunditions-that spell woe for him 'f disregarded, but we might nope that the farmers of North Ca rolina, at least, will be minded to suide their planting arrangements in the light of established facts and do their part in helping return of the prosperous cotton bale. The only way in which this can be done is in raising less cotton than has been the case heretofore. Commis sioner Graham’s argument for a re duction of 10,000,000 bales in the size of the South’s cotton crop is founded on rock bottom basis, If that coule^be done, the farmers and the countrv would be rejoiced at the marketing of next saason’s crop at figurest that would recall “the good old days.” for return of which the farmers have been dreaming That happy day is to return until the f irmers, themselves, bring it to pass. This can be done only hy planting less- cotton. The situation of re duced consumption and increased production must be reversed TI.e thing for the Southern cotton plant ers to figure upon it just this- Tl e world supply of cotton on December 31 should run equal to a year ago the season should run equal to a year ago the season would he endt d with 2 ,502,OCO bales added to the carryover. Put that, with the carry over of August I, 1930. and 1 he Loti-I is 8 689,000. bales. Add that pro- bab e carryover to the different crop estimates and see vihat *he result a ill be Even a 10,000 000 ha!e crop would mean a t--tnl supply of ap proximately 19,000.000 bales. Bal ance that supply against a world con- s imptiun now running at less than . 11,000,000 bales compared with 13,- 030,000 a year ago and 15,225,OCO t vif years ago and one should have a fairly clear conception of the out look. It is exactly true, as argued by The faall Street Journal, friend of the farmer, in spite of the name it bears tlat. the most sanguine cannot expect a world consumption as l»rge as that of years ago. but even if the seem ingly impossible should come to pass and the carry-over be reduced to 7,- 500 0G0 hales, still the igarket would be at the mercy of the farmers and weather A crop of even 12.500 000 bales would make a total supply as Iaree as that of the present season which, ita present circumstances is ioo large, while one" equal ti the average of the two preceding ones, or 14,530.000 bales, would be a cilamity. In 1929 farmers picked 45 800.000 acres, averaging 155 pounds to tbe acre, making a total' of 14 828,000 bales; in .1930 they picked 42 218 000 acres, averaging 150 8 pounds, mak ing a total of 14,243 000 bales, drought having increased abandoned acreage and reduced yield below the average of 154 pounds to the acie. If planting even sppn xirnatts {that af a year an , mid weather and. in sects are merely normal.; the supply will be toolarge to hold the price at present levels. What wili betheprices of cotton for the next' crop? The answer' toi that question is in the hands of - the planters.-^Gharlotte Observer.

Entered atthe Postoffice in Mocks- ville, N. C., as Second-class Mai) matter. March S. 1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - J I 00 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - S 50 When a man holds a political office f->r thirty vears or more it seems that he would be wot Itiir' for the interests or his pa-ty iusteaJ of trying to give aid and comfort to the enemv. One of our readers wants to know how many Al Smith demo crats are holding political jobs In Davie county. Wait a minute sister, until we take time to count the of ficeholders. ough money to even purchase for cash, the necessities of life. Most of the mills and factories were clos ed and many of the town dweliers movea to the country and raisec enough provisions to live on until business picked tip. The fellofyJJ who says rhese are the tough times he ever experienced is mig ty young or has a .very poi memory. If the democrats should nominate " Senator Cam Morrison for presi- sident next year we wonder what would become of the Al Smith de mocrats in Davie county? , Cam says he is'd'ry. A good democrat—there are some —and one who is holding an office in Davie, says he thinks the demo cratic party needs cussing and wants us to do the job. Excuse us, brother. We will let the de mocratic papers do the cussing. John W. Davis, who was once the democratic candidate for Presi dent, says that a wet democrat will be the next President of the United States. Well, that ought to’bring a lot of joy and comfort to the de mocratic officeholders in Davie county. If our democratic- friends in Mocksville really believe in lower ing taxes why don’t they either cut salaries or dismiss SOiJne of ,the office holders and reduce the citv taxes from $i.6o per gioo to about $i.oo. which would be a fair rate. Our town can never grow much' so longas we have such a high tax rate. Mecklenburg democrats don’t believe in economy.. They are rais ing the salary of their democratic chairman of county commissioners from $3,000 to $3,500 per year, which is more than Davie’s sheriff and welfare officer combined, are paid. ‘And yet the democrats yell themselves hoarse before the elec tion yelling for economy. Hundreds of Republicans - in Davie county have come to the conclusion that the perpetual office holder must take a back seat. In the future the various county of fices, together with some of the Federal offices, are going to be fill ed'by men who haven’t held office since the worid was voung. Perpe tual office-holders will kill any party. Go Easy, Cam. Il is reported from Washington that Senator Cam Moirisou will fight the confirmation of Charles A Jones as district attorney for the western district. Jones knows too much-about the election frauds practiced by the Democrats in the 1930 election aud Morrison doubt less is afraid that Jotias niigbt be instrumental 111 sending some of the election thieves to the federal prison should he get the job of dis trict attorney. If -we nave Jonas sized op correctly that is just what we shall expect him to do ana if Morrison succeeds in preventing his confirmation on this ground the Republicans in Congress should see to it at once that a law is passed that will insure free and fair elec tions in North Carolina, something we are not enjoying at the present time —Union Republican. Some of the democrats make out like they can’t get a warm recep tion in the court house, and some Republicans sav they, actually get chilly when they go into the said’ court house. The Record is glad to speak a good word for the . gen tleman who is looking after the comfort of the court house loafers and workers. We alwavs find the the building warm and comfortable —the same as we did when the Re publicans were in power. So far as we know the democrats didn’t promise to reduce the coal consump tion if. they were elected last fall. Maybe they forgot it. Times may be dull and money scarce, but the more the folks talk hard times the longer it will take business to get back to normal. We have -been m the newspaper business neatly forty* years, and have seen business conditions much worse than they are at this time During the years 1893-4, the editor Of-The Record was working in a good newspaper plant in North Carolina. - The paper had a large circulation with a big line of ad vertising but in ttie course of six months less than $200 in money was received at that office. - Good steak could be purchased for 5 cents a pound; eggs 6 cents per dozen and flour $1 40 per 100 pounds, but few people bad cu- To Lower Taxes. Tf the North Carolina legislature has the state to take over all the roads in Davie county and also runs all our schools for six months in the year, the Davie commission ers should.be able to teduce our couuty tax rate 10 not ovtr 40 cents on the $100 valuation. It remains to be seen just what they will do.. Of course Jones will pay the freight. Extra taxes will have to be secured from somebody to keep our schools going and our roads passable. After this new law has b.een tried out for a year or two the people will know whether to cuss or praise the 1931 legislature. The county commissioners will have nothing to do with iunniug tlje schools, keep ing up the roads or lowering taxes. Never cuss the home folks—cuss the fellows who are fariherest a- way.

District, by Presi-. dent Hoover. This no doubt makes Cam Morrison feel mighty bad. Cam was verv much opposed to Jouas getting this job and was the cause:of the Senate failing to .con firm his-appointment, - Commissioners Appoint x Anderson. ’ The board of county commis sioners last week appointed county treasurer Z. N Anderson financial agent for Davie and assistant to the Register of Deeds, at a salary of $1,000 per year. Mr. Anderson will take over his new duties-April 1st. The Record is glad that’ the Cbrmnissioners didn’t move the treasurer's office to some other town or county. The democrats and a few Republicans who went over the county last fall yelling that the Bank- of Davie would handle the county’s money free of charge or for a small sum, were badly mistaken, as they have no doubt found out by this time. Campaign promises are like - pie crusts—easily broken. Mr. Ander sou is a competent, clever gentle man and The Record is glad that he has been appointed to this office He no doubt needs the money and the banks can get get along very well without it.

Jost a few : thoughts about these two kingdoms—God’s and satan’s. How mayohe world know which one of these kingdoms we belong to. - I give a few scriptures. We may know them hy their fruits. The A- postle Paul, in writing to the Corin thian brethren said, “Ye are our Epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men I’ Then we ought to be very 'careful how we live before the world. In Ithe flesh we are apt to makfe mistakes though written in our hearts the inner man cannot sin, does not jhave any in cliuation to sin but a great warfare between ther-flesh andrthe spirit. There are:many,thingsithat come in the way to'those in God’s kingdom. Moseskhought he was not eloquent enough to do the great work God had for him to do but our sufficiency is of God; he will aid and help us do his work. We are ashamed to speak a word to our friends. I remember 01 two occasions of hearing to men a passion say some ugly things. How ought we to approach men when the passion is still on them. After Huy- cooled down I went to them in the spirit of love and told them how it hurt me to hear them say such things, and that I didn’t think they wanted to use such language. I think they have always’ thanked me tor speaking to them. We ought to IiveitT a spirit of prayer for our friends and. especially our church, pastor, Sunday school superintend ent and young Christians. Wetake young people in our churches and give them the right hand of fellow- snip.and that is about the Iastof it— never an encouraging word f. r them-: Tne Apostle'Faui said, “I have r.o greater joy than to h ean h at my. brethren walk in truth.” We need to encourage and pray for’-’ the church' Ten days.of prayer preced ed Penticost. Paul said while at Rome in prison,- to his brethren in one of his epistles,' “Prepare me a lodging, for I trust through your prayers that I will get back to.you ” Yes, we need to organize in pray.e-, MOiliamen Guard $50,000 Contest' Mail THE T ;-JL c \ I-IE-thousands of letlern vp ceived in the JfaO1OOO Camel .cisarette contest, advertised in newspapers from coaa*. to coaa., were guarded in tbe same manner, as Iiuge gold shipments.

If ivc know anything rjbotit tobacco, and ve • think we do, Camels con thin the choicest Turk ish and the mellowest, ripest domestic leaves that money can buy. In fact we have every reason to be proud of the quality of Camels as they come from the factory, but the remark cjf an ckl friend of ours from Denver some time ago emphasized a point that has been the problem of the cigarette industry for years. | As he inhaled the smoke from a Camel wo gave him in our o(Ticos one morning, he sighed with very evident enjoyment and then asked jokingly, “What is thist a special blend re served for Camel executives?” “Certainly not,” we Soljd him. “This package of Camels was bought «3 the corner store this morning.” i “Well,” he said, “I’ve been a dyed in the wool Camel smoker for a good many years, bu t upon my soul I never got a cigarette as good as tins in Denver. If you would give the rest cf the world the kind of Camels you sell here i:i Winston- Salem, you ought to have; all the cigarette busi ness there is.” I of the tobacco in Camels, whether you buy them in Winston-Salem, Denver or_Timbne- too. But up to now Ihcrc has been a very real difference in the condition of the cigarettes by the time they reached the smoker. The flavor and mildness of fine (tobacco depend upon the retention of its natural, not added, moisture content which is prime at about ten per cent. In r.pite of our great pains always to make sure Citmcls left the factory with just the right amount natural moisture, no cigarette pack age had ever yet been designed that could pre vent that precious moisture from drying out. dr-tight seal could give the desired protection. (D) This measure, ichilc cosily, could be relied on to keep Camels in prime condition "or at least three months in any climate.

Always certain of the quality of our tobaccos we had already made Camel a “dustless” cig arette by the use of a specially designed vacuum cleaning apparatus exclusive with our factory. Row, if we could perfeet a package that would actually act as a humidor and retain the natu ral moisture content, then Yuma, Arizona, could enjoy Camels as much as wc do here at Winston-Salem. We knew what we wanted. Wc tried many things. We asked the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory to help us. After many experiments and humidity tests covering, all methods of packing cigarettes came the detailed report of which this is the net: I ■(A) No existing cigarette pack age, including those wrapped in glassine paper or ordinary cellophane, gives anything like adequate protection against evaporation.

That costs a lot of money, marc than $2,000,- 000 the first year, but after you have tried Camels packed this modern new way wc arc cure y ou will agree it is a fine investment. For some time now every Camel that has left our factory has gone out in this new Humidor Pack. We have said nothing about it until now, to make sure your dealer would be able to supply you when the good news came out. Camel smokers of course have already dis covered that their favorite cigarette is better and milder now than ever before. If you aren’t a Camel smoker, try them just to see what a difference there really is between harsh, dried out tobacco and a properly con ditioned cigarette. You can feel the difference, you can hear the difference and you certainly can taste the dif ference. Of course we’re prejudiced. We always have believed that Camel is the world’s best cigarette. Now we know it. Just treat yohrself to Camels in the new Humidor Pack and see if you don’t agree. R. J.REY N O LD S TOBACCO COMPANY Winston-Salem, N. C.

It begins to look like we will have a dog day session yet We will discuss its actions later when we find out what has actually been done. The peanut politicians at Raleigb have placed Davie, Yadkin and Wilkes, with a population of 53,- 000 in one Senatorial district and given them only one Senator. How long will the people tolerate such a gang? (30 years later and the gang is still in session.) Horn Eros. &’Jobnston are going to put new machineryln their flour mill and will have to shut down the mill for four or five weeks after April 1st. T. J. Byerly. of Louisburg, was in town last week in the interest of a bank at this place. From pre sent indications our chances for a bank are good. Ten freight cars were wrecked last week just this side of Dutch man creek and about fifty yards of railroad track torn up. Passenger trains were delayed about 12 hours. No lives were lost. Luther Leach, of Hickory, visit ed relatives in and around Mocks- ville last week. D. C. Kurfees and Peter Stone- street, of near Jericho, have the grippe. J.

He will take*the risk. -si It is said that one or two movie couples have a chance to celebrate their tin anniversary. Others can Celebrate theii tin husbands.- Will Never Need Relief. William X,iuville, a student in SedgeGarden School. Forsyth coun ty, has been awarded first prize in the fourth district of the State in a corn growing contest. The award ivas made by the Division of Voca tion I Education of the Department of Public Instruction. While the amount of corn Lin ville raised is not Etated in the news account of the award, the winner in District No. 3 produced 299 bushels on three acnes. The winner in District No. 2 raised 3S9 l/l bushel on three acres. A John son countv youth produced 523 bushels on five acres. A number of awards were made to boys who excelled iu cotton pro duction. There are many farmers iu North Caroliua who would not believe that such yields could be produced on soil in this State. Not believ- tliat such yields could be produced on soil in this State. Not believ ing that such an agricultural feal could be accomplished, they have never ventured a trial at such pro digious crop production. Need foi farm relief arises very largely througn lack of faith and vion. Il is safe to say that these boys who have won prizes for producing more than 100 bushels of corn per acre will never be in need of farm relief.—Winston Journal. The Danger of The Highways. January’s record of automobile killings and maimings in North Ca rolina is of a kind that should make impression upon the legislative mind in favor of a driver’s lincense law ol a sort that would be of practical operation. In Wake County, alone, eight people were killed on the high ways, Nash coming second with four The record of the whole State was 54 dead and 301 injured. In addi tion til that, as many as IOU ■‘acci dents” occurred with no fatalities. What is going to make travel on the highways of thi3 State safer? Per haps if minimization of casualties of hit and run responsibility could be brought about, the death and injurj list would be decreased, for in re cent times, both on city streets and out on the roads, a large number of cases of wreckage, death antLir jurj is laid to the operations of drivers who crash in and run on. Does Iicensimr of driver minimize the danger on Ih \ highways? Facts developed by the National Confer ence on Street and Highway Safety prove that it does. It is in evidence that States having laws that provide for Iincensing by preliminary exami nation and test of prospective driv era; have experienced a saving under these laws of 25 to 30 per cent, in traffic deaths, on the average, as compared with their accident ie- cords before adoption of these li cense laws and compared with re cords of the non licensing States. Tnus the States which are licensing drivers by examination and test ap pear to be saving seven lives in each 100.000 of population, and prevent ing the injury of 236 persons in each 100.000 of population. Measured in terms of total popu I ition, it can be reckoned from the above that, if prospective drivers were licensed by examination and test in all States, the total of lives saved wouid be 8,610. and injuries to 290,000 prevented from traffic ac cidents alone each year.—Charlotte News. NOTICE. Grover ClevelandtS Phi losophy. V-Mieu Cleveland declared in iSS; that the people should support the Government but the Government should not support the people he ■,vas both politically and economi- ;ally sound. Once the government ignores the distinction, its trouble? begin for it is clear that every man lt-d woman is as much entitled tr Goveri.menc aid as everyone else ind “ the Soviet declaration be comes effective. The Senate now proposes to feed, clothe aud finance Irought sufferers, the. American Legion and the unemployed. BuJ why limit the relief to them?. Two years ago the brokerage bugiuess was one of the largest and except for the bootlegger the most pros perons of all industries. Securities both sound and speculative were in exhaustive demand and the num ber of those engaged in the 'busi ness swelled-iuto the hundreds ol thousands. Their patrons com prised everybody possessing mone> or credit and business leaders gave more due to themselves than to any- hody else. Theirs too has been a drought which, like a visit of the locust, has cleaned up everything. But how would our Senate phil anthropists respond to a brokers’ ppeal for relief? The question needs no answer. This class of their fellow citizens would be given the air wifh the reminder that they caused the calamity by conducting an illegitimate business • Neither charge would be true. They were responsible for events just as and assurauce of its permanent characl er. Then overnight the bottom ci the business drooped out and with in three months this stream has become a mere, trickle of activity. Those who were not entirely wiped out expected to be before many davs, and matters have gone from bad to worse ever since. Brokers and salesmen as a class are ruined. Few, if any, have much credit re maining Their misfortunes are 110 father than other classes of peo ple. Morever, when UncleSam as sumes the roll of public benefactor he cannot make any such discrimi nation. The brokers were not a lawless class when the panic came On the contrary, they enjoyed the spec:al favor of the public financial authorities and of every man who wauted to better himself. Uncle Sam might withhold his sustenance from their outstietchcd hands, but to do so would be to emphasize the the truth of Mr. Cleveland’s a- prohistu only to the class known as brokers. ' Having qualified as Administrator of Moses f. Walker, deceased, notice is hereby given to all persons hold ing claims against said estate to pre sent them, duly verified, to the -un dersigned for payment on or before the 5th day of March. 1932. or thts notice will be plead in bar of their recovery.

On Filling Stations. “ Filling stations. Filling sta tions. On every hand” says the N. C. Christian Advocate, “people are sitting at street corners and by the roadside waiting to fill the gas tanks and oil crankshafts. The cars that crowd the streets and that hurry along the highways are all racing to the filling stations, The population of the United States like all Gaul, is now divided into three parts, those who race to .the filling stations, and those who are in the hospitals. We have heard of the stone age and of the cave man, but this is the age of filling station and of the gas man. It has been said 'hat ‘money makes the mare go,’ but now it’s gas and grease that moves the world and not the hand <hat rocks the cradle.” A successful trade in Mocksville policy requires consistent co-opera tion on the part of merchants and local buyers. It is impossible to build the markets here unless both buyers and sellers are awake to their civic responsibilities. . Keep the Dog at Home There is nothing an owner en |oys more than his dog. Many per ■ions who will never own a piece o‘ land, or ever the home in whicl :hey live may own a dog. He may not be a thoroughbred, iu face ht Tiight be just a plain street dot’ who sought out an individual foi his master because that man seem id to be kindly toward a stay dog But regardless of a dog’s looks 01 his pedigree, he is usually bighh prized by his mas'er, and in most iustances is greatly loved. A person who owns a dog aud really cares about him should see that he is protected, and the onlj way to protect a dog is to keep bin it home. While the dog may mean a great deal to his owner, he is a ijreat nuisance to others, especially persons who are afraid of dogs We have in mind sone dogs that have been permitted to run loost .ind which frightens the schooi school children by running out and barking at them, or snapping at their heels. Probably they won’t bite, but who wants to have hi- hildren put them to a test. The point is this. Every owner has a right to have and enjoy hi> dog, but no one has a right to ha zard the comfort and convenience of another by permitting his dog to run at large. We believe the police department should protect the public and especially the school children. Those who fail to co operate must in this, like other things, pay the penalty. Proteci your dog aud yourself by keeping him at home. —Winston Sentinel. Yes, Why Not A Fair Election Law? The North Carolina Cnristian Advocate is asking the Democratic party in North Carolina some ver\ searching questions and has reach ed the place where we have been battling for many years, the de mand for a free ballot and a fair oiiut in North Carolina", some thing that we are now deprived of. “ Why not have an election law that fosters good citizenship and honest dealings?” asks the Advo cate. “The unabated discussion in the press year after year about 0 dishonest ballot, and the stress so often put upon the necessity of having control of the election ma chinery should be stopped. The implication is that the state is com mitted to fraud and dishouesty when it comes to voting. Why should not the men who urge that it is tt|g duty of all good citizens to go to the ballot box on election day be able to say to all the world that there will be an honest ballot and a fair count for everv citizen of North Carolina? No honest man can say that this should not be. It is time for rascality at the polls in North Carolina to be put beyond all peradventure. Let the press give itself to building up an honest citizenship.” Will the Democrats in the Leg islature, and out of a membership of 170, they have all but eight, Hs ton to the words of counsel and wisdom coming from the church organ of the great Methodist cte nomination or will they-.still be ‘ at ease in Zion” and allow the iniqui tous ballot law to remain on the statute books and the equally ob noxious “ marker” law to stay in force?—Union Republican. Senator Morrison says the liquor question must be kept out of poli tics and y<“t he is doing more talking about it than anybody else that we know of. “Living At Home.” Hugh Ashcraft, r.atire of IInior :ounty, aud now a master farmer n Mecklenburg, went “dowi home’ ’ for a visit some days ago. He visited one old neighbor wht ippeared to he very happy in his farm work and who displayed witl t)ride a smokehouse filled with ap proximately 1.500 pounds of beau tifully cured hams and bacon, f corn crib filled to overflowing with :orn, a small hewl of Guernsey cattle, and a fine lot of pigs, to saj iiothing of poultry. “That man lidn't once mention hatd times Iuriug iny visit,” remarked Mr. Ashcraft. Another old friend whose farm !Ir. Ashcrafl knew had once con listed largely of red clay hills, re marked with pride that be was pro ducing 50 bushels of corn per acre, on those once barrou hills “You must be one of these Iespedeza farmers,” observed Mr. Ashcraft. His old friend pleaded guilty im mediately. * These incidents point their own moral. Farmers who farm intelli gently, growing 1 heir own food and feedst uffs and improving their soils with lespedeza and other legumes, may not have lots of cash on hand just now, but they' do have more than the cotton or tobacco farmer ind. the important thing, they and their families are not going hungry. —Charlotte Observer.- The “Higher Purpose.” The High Pmnt Knterprise main tains that is is a manifest duty, or imething.fqablly M irt-distric for the I ljCongreps member; that more ■miiortant still it is a duty to cun ifruct the districts with some re rard were created,” decUres to En erprise, talking about former dis- ■rict construction, “in order to bri fade enough Democratswith strong Iy Republican counties to hold as many districts Democratic as possi bie.” In other words, congressional md other district construction in >ur state has been planned to keep Republicans out. ‘ In the redistrict ing a higher purnose should rule/’ he E iterprise makes bold to saj, •-ilthough persons have been read out of th« party, orjput out of the partv, or put on the unfair lists, for saying thines like that aforetime. Gerry mandering has been so much of a custom since the days of Eibridfe Cerry, all parties giving themselves ',he advantage when they had the power, that we have our doubts that the "higher purpose” which the En terprise would inject into the erec tion of districts will get an even oreak. But if the higher purpose appears and seems to be welcome, it would held to recast the judicial districts. Tnescoreofjudicial districts were planned to make safe for Democracy about all the solicitors, which same planning has interfered with the court work In some districts there are more court terms than there is business in others more business th-Mi courts ■ If the districts were arrang ed with reference to the work this defect could prababiy be remedied without increasing the number of judicial districts, for which there is continuous clamor. But we confess that we are unable to vision this “higher purpose” making plans for any sort of district construction. If the vision should appear we would expect the millennial dawn to be right behind it.—Greensboro News. AU Coming To Cotton. Plan to innneurate a concertfd iri motiona! t-ffurt to be known as Mational Work Clothes Week at a late to be annoured later, was dis missed in detail at a meeting held on February 13, of officials of the Inter- iational Associaoion of Garment Manufacturers and representatives' >f The Associations, as well as by The Cotton-Tt xtile Institute, Inc. AU of those represented at the neeting. which was held in the of- ices of the Association of Cotton Textile Merchants of New York, ex-, oressed themselves as being heartily in accord with the plan. It can be Jtated definitely at this time that :he movement will be Iaunchnd at ;he envention of the International Association of Garment Manufac turers ^hich is to be held in Chica go March 3, 4, and-5, and I hat there after details of the plan will be per fected with a view to an immediate innouncement of the dates in May >r September on which the event Jvill be held. Mean, the cotjon town of Gasto- iia seems to he of anticipatory mood, cor the people of that city have set ifoot a “wear cotton” campaign «hich. is to cover the South. A iathering is arranged for Gastonia in March, at which a cotton festival vill he staged to give the move ment a good send off. The Gastonia •spirit is manifested in the case of a fellow named “Sunny Thorpe.” a veil-known musician there, who is decking the members of his band in Tuxedo uniforms made of Durene. giving tliis organization the name >f the Durene C >iton Pickers. A novement similar to that started at Gastonia under way at Anderson, in iouth Carolina, at it is a fairly good prospect that by this time next year the Southern popu aiinn in general —men. women, boys and trirls—will oe clothed in cotton from head Io foot— Kuester to supplv hats “made of cotton ”—Charlotte Observer. It is barely possible that some of the folks who talk about the terri ble unemployment condilious would be badly shocked if they had to go to work.

The highest compliment that a business man can pay an individ ual i.s to sell 011 credit.

It is said that at least 300 absentee ballots were cast in Davie last fall. These 500 voters— well, where did they live and why didn't they go to the polls and vote? No one believes that there were 500 sick voters in Davie on election day.

Its stamina and endurance are particularly apparent in sections where bad roads and severe weather put a heavy extra burden on the automobile. In less than a year a new Ford Tudor Sedan was driven more than seventy-three thousand miles over a difficult route. The operating cost per mile was very low and practically the only expense for repairs was for new piston rings and a new bearing for the generator. The car carried an average load of 1200 pounds of mail and was driven 250 miles daily. “The Ford has never failed to go when I was ready,” writes one of the three mail carriers operating the car. “The starter did the trick last winter even at 34 degrees below zero. The gas runs about 20 miles per gallon. At times I pull a trailer whenever I have a bulky load.” Many other Ford owners report the same satisfactory performance. Every part has been made to endure to serve you faithfully and well for many of miles. T h e New F ord T udor Sedan 5. © W PR IC K S ©F FORD CARS $430 to $630 r. O S .

Foster, of Augusta, was in town Friday on business. H. B. Ireland, of Winston, was in town one day last week. Hail fell in Mocksviile Monday evening nearly as large as guinea eggs. It is reported that one of Mocks ville’s young ladies will be married in April Mrs. McMartin and little daugh ter, of Johnstown. N. Y., are stop ping at Ingleside Inn. A. N. Fitzgerald, S. & G have been assigned to C. B. Leonard's distillery near Oak Grove. Mrs. Ruth Davis, who has been confined in the county jail for several months, has been removed to the county home. A protracted meeting is in pro gress at the Methodist church this week. Mrs. W. F. Gowens sold her personal property at her residence last Thursday and left for Texas Monday evening to ioin her hus band. What about the bank and chair factory? We do not hear much a- bnut them of late. Mocksville needs a bank badly. Sheriff Sheek carried'Walter Clifr ford to the Morganton asylum Tuesday A. T. Grant, CIetk of the court, showed us a $2 bill raised to a $20 which some one passed on him a bout three months ago. Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

Mrs Sallie Moore died last week at her home near Holman's, at an advanced age Mr. John M. Furches died last Friday afternoon at his home near Farmington, aged 63 years. Mr. Furches is survived by two broth ers, W. F. Furches1 of this county and Chief Justice D. M. Furches, of Iredell county; one sister, Miss Jennie Furches, also survive. The body was laid to rest at Baton’s church Sunday. Mr. Furches bad never married end spent most of his life near Farmington, his old home.

Mrs. Mary Kurfees, of near Jeri cho, has been quite ill for some time. A lady remarked a few days ago that a .certain local .politican was a democrat first and a Baptist second. We are afraid that there are many Republicans and democrats in Davie who put their party first..and their church second. If there is ;an editor in this neck bf the woods that has. a thousand dollars—well, we wbtfld -just like to take a look at him. Veterans Who Fail Keep Up WithInterest Perhaps all of the Forsvih World War veterans are not aware of the fact that if thev fail to pay the 4 per cent, interest on ,ativ loans secured frpm the government the interest will be" compounded annually, meaning that they will have to pay interest, on the unpaid interest as well as on the principal The notes to be signed by every borrower provides:' “ If the principal an interest of this note are not paid at maturity I agree to the automatic extension of the note from year to year for jjeriods of one year in the amount of the principal plust interest to the end of the immediate preceding ex pired loan year, which total amount shall automatically become 1 new principal year, and shall bear inter est at the rate fixed by law until paid.’’ The veterans’ bureau has given out instructions on the procedure whereby an ex-soldier, sailor or marine mav obtain a loan on his insurance certificate or the certifi cate itself. If a veterans has borrowed on his certificate at 6 per cent, and wishes to pay off that loan so that he may benefit from the new 4 ^ per cent, interest rate, how should be proceed? Go or write to the regional of fice of the Veterans’ Bureau at Charlotte, N. C. They have all the information there, all the official rulings and the. necessary blanks to be filled out. The people on d uty will stri\ e to be as helpful as possible. To obtain a loan, a veteran must have a certificate. If he has failed to apply for his adjusted service certificate during the past six years he should ask for a blank. That must go to Washington, where his record of service will be verified by the War or Navy Department de pendent on the branch of the mili tary service in which he served. A veteran who has not hereto fore applied for an adjusted service certificate will not be entitled to borrow a cent until the expiration of two years. A veteran holding an adiusted service certificate for two years or more and wishing to borrow on it will be given a form. He must identify himself, either through his discharge papers or by some other means. He will then be given a form note which is for one year payable to the director of the veterans’ bureau.—Winston Senti-. nel. More Truth ThanPoetry Man comes into this world ’with- out his consent and leaves against his will. While he is 011 earth his time is spent in one continuous round of contrares and misuuder standings by the balance of the species. In his infancv he is an angel; in his boyhood he is a devil; in his manhood he is a fool. If he raises a family he is a' chump; if he raises a small check he is a thief and then.the law rais es the devil with him. If he is poor, he is a poor mana ger. If he is rich he is' dishonest. If he is in politics he is a grafter; if he is out of politics you can't place him and he is an undesirable citizen. If he is in church he is a sinner and is damned. If he donated, to foreign^missions he does it for a show; if be doesn’t, he is stin&y. When he first-pomes into this world everybody wants to.kiss him. before hie goes out everybody wants tokick him If he dies young, there was a great future before Murder Count Againsl - Davis. Ralph Davis, originally fron Daviason coiintv arid who ha> igured in the court of Forsyth and Davie county, is now facing trial cor his-'life acter a career^ of crime lespite the fact he is still in hi; teens, Davis is charged with killing Thuruiar Luther.

Davis charg- jd^Luther with having accused hin )f being a stool pigeon and the twe became engaged in an altercation -.vhere Davis was digging a stump. Criminal tendencies h e long been evideut in young Davis, thost familiar with career state. He was »iven trial in Forsytli superior :ourt several years ago for larceny ind to save him from the chain jang the authorities committed Iiim to the Eastern Carolina Train ing School. . He didn't want to be a Sunday school boy” he told the superin- endent there after serving a few weeks of bis twelve months’ term ind by his owfi request was re turned to the Forsyth chain gang to complete his sentence. After Iiis release he was changed with holding up Miss Every Kirk, another girl, the son of Dr. Ash- oury Harding, of Mocksville, and mother youth from tlie Davie capi tal, on the Square there. It was charged that he mounted the run uing board of an automabile con taining the four and, placing a pistol on the temple ot young Harding, made him drive to a Poinfy near Dutchman’s Creek. Tliere he robbed the boys of a small a- mount of mouey and a pocket knife. The knife proved his undoing be cause it was identified and Davia ,vas sent up for from five to seven years in the state prison. It was while doing that term he became involved in the more serious diffi culty which has placed his life in jeopardy. The Davis case has attracted con- sideraole interest since his father, Spencer Davis, killed a man named Weaver, a neighbor, several years ago but was vindicated on a self- defense plea. Young Davis had a broghter who was killed by • a neighbor and an uncle killed a negro. Forsyth officer had an encounter with him near the Davie Forsyth county line and he put up a resist ance that has caused them to re member him —Winston Sentinel. Advertising .The Other Fellow.

Three Kinds of Farmers One of the drawbacks to any l.'sctission of the farmer and his problems is the uncertainty as ti vhat sort of farming is under dis- :ussion. There are three differeni types of farmer, and in most even Dirt of the United States all three a-e to be tound side by side. The most widely distributfed tyre U what may be called the “non- nmmercial” farmer, the great ?roup with whom farming is net 31 much a business as a mode of living. This type raise-; 110 consi derable amount of any one “ money :rop.” but grows on his own land the means of. subsistence for hi.1- family and, counting out the eggs, mtter or other marketable produce traded in town for store goods, nandles very little cash in the course of a year. The - group of farmers who are specialists, “one croc” farmers is probably the largest numerically and m acreage under fence. They are business men, in the broad sense, producing nothing but a sin gle commodity which they sell 01 nope to sell, for money, and grow ing nothing, or almost nothing, which they themselves consume. The single crop may be cotton, to bacco, wheat, corn, oranges, apples celery or potatoes, depending upon location. Depeudent upon their money returns from the single cash crop for everything which they eat and wear, these are the first to feel the effect of a general business de pression and are- constantly at the mercy of competition and Over pro duction in their staple crops. This is the type of farmer at whose re lief most of the political remedies for agricultural ills are aimed. The happiest farmers are the third-G lass, those whose farming operations combine those of the other two. They live off the soil and cau continue to Iipe independ ently and comfortaoly year in and year out, except for natural cates trophes such as floods or drought. They grow enough of one or more cish crops to figure as important factors in the produce markets, but failure in any one year to cash in on such crops or livestock does not reduce them to penury or plunge them into debt. For forty years and more the United States .and the various State departmert of Agriculture, as well as the agricultural colleges-have been preaching the gospel of diver sified farming in the one-crop re gions. Every once in a while some natural or economic disaster drives the one crop farmers of a district into divetsificatiou, and the result is always greater prosperity and stability, not only tor the farmer but for all the people of his district or state. Still Holds Distinction. West Southern Pines is a negro community. It was iucorported, with mayor, police and the other functionaries incidental to a full fledged municipality. For some reason not divulged, so far as ob served, a bill passed the legislature abolishing the municipality and merging it with the town of South ern Pines. The residents of the town protested, offering as evidence of their municipal standing that the town was free from debt and has six churches free of debt. And that, it is believed, is a distinction enjoyed by no. white municipality in the State. Possibly the colored folks made a .mistake in keeping their town free of debt; or maybe they were not considered progres sive in that none of their churches are staggering under a load of debt. West Southern Pines loses its iden tity but it had a distinction of which no white governed munici pality can boast.—From The States ville Daily. In For a Drenching If it wasn’t pathetic it would 1« imusing to contemplate the ho'f ehich Democratic Sou’hern dry? "ich.as Senator Morrison, _ Hull Glass, R ibinson and Carraway, hav- rotten themselves into as regard! iarty policy and prohibition. Theii ilight couldn’t be worse, insofar as '.heir ability to shape party policies is concerned, if thev were neatij ried in asaek vnrh Mr. Smith hold ing one end of the string and Mr iaskob the oti.er, Atid to add to their confu i'>n ard innoyance thev entered the sack of :heir own violation ar.d Messrs imith and Raskoh had only to pull a1! they can do—like a cat prepared for drowning—is to yell, a privilegt they are vociferously availing them !elves of. * If you werr politically minded and aspired the party dominance, you ^ould smile, too, if you occupied a oosition as strategically strong a? that held by Mr. Alfred Emanuel ■smith. Two courses and two courses only ire open to the group of Senator nentioned.- Either they must go a. v. 0. I. from party repu'arity 01 they mus* submit to dominance from Mnith and Raskob, and it requires io prophet to predict what they will choose to do. After coutempating vhat happened to Simmons, they ■an only choose to be regular. Thus we see Messrs M irrison, Hull Glass, Caraway and Rnbinson turn- iog.in a fire of their own kindling. AU that is to be expected from them between flow and the time a President is~ nominated is noise. They will make the welkin ring bu' ill the while Mr Riskob will remair cool and Mr. Smith will smile Thr Senatiirial boys have cone too fa vith Mr. Smith and M>- Raskob t' turn back no*. Tney j 1st continu< to the bitter end. and the end will ie bitter all rii;ht. But one cannot fiiid it m his heart tc lympathize with them unoulv. Thaj nay have right much of what thej ire slated to receive, coming to hem. It is one matter to sway th< electorate in the South by bluff and cluster, but quite another to ir Au ince Smith a R-iskob Thev hold winning cards and know it. Wnen they lay down their hands they’ll take the pot. The Senatorial q-iintet Knows this thence the noise they ate making. The pity is that a time like this, when men of indepenence are nerd* d hat the South’s leadership should be nnmstruna bv the fetish of poiiiica regularity. Wnen Southern D»mo cratic politicians weakly submitted to Raskob and Smith, naly, when they went out of their way to poke their beads in the noose, the hymn was lined and now they must sing it, though some of them may not keep time perfectly. It is doubtful if in the entire his tory of the Dem-cratic partv it fia« been more securely in the hands of. the Northern branch than at this particular time Wnen Mr. Smith was permitted to bolt the platform nnd SimmoiiS punished for denounc ing this unexampled departure from Democratic practice, the South was irrevocably committed to the sort of leadership for the party that Smith and Raskob may dictate. There is no outstanding regular Democratic politician in the South who can consistenly oppose Smith or any other man nomineted on a wet convention delegates to conrrol the convention and this he will suceeed in doing. The next D :mocratic plat form will contain Raskob’s ideas on prohibition repeal, Mr. Alfred E. Smith will probably be the candidates and Messrs’ Morrison, Bprd, Robin son and others will be found whoop ing it up for him The entire Southern delegation ip Congress will remain regular enen if to do so involves a good drench ing, which Smith and Raskob know and they will shape their course 'ac cordingly — Upton G . Wilson -in ^Winston Journal. When Is An Office Not An Office? The Democrats of Davie county vhooped things up during the last Cimpaign charging the Republicans vith all kinds of extravagance and irointsed if they were put in power they would do great things, among Jihersbeing the abolishment of.the iseless office of county treasurer ind allow, the banks to handle 3avie funds like Forsyth, Yadkin, ?urry and other counties. They Uso promised to abolish the office >f county accountant. Did they carry out their cam paign promise;-? They obolished the office of treasurer, and the dern- icrafic board of commissioners then turned around and elected the same nan who was elected treasurer iu 1930. and promised to resign as ioon as the office was abolished by he Legislature, “County disburs ing agent.” Whatisthedifference pray tell us between a county :reasurer and county disbursing a- <enl? And the Democratic board of commissioners abolished the office if county accountant, consolidating this with the office of register of deeds and then turned around and made an appropriation for an addi tional clerk to the register of deeds. What is the difference between a county accountant and a clerk or assistant to the register of deeds who does the same work, will some one tell us?

The taxpayers of D;.vie would no doubt like lo know how our Senat or and Representative voted on the bill, to increase the highway patrol from 37 to 89 men. , If the democrats have saved the county as much money as they claim, there is 110 doubt but that the county tax rate can be reduced Io practically nothing, and maybe a rebate, given the taxpayers. Senator Grant and Representa tive LeGrand voted for the J’gam- bling” bill to allow Buncombe county to bet 011 horse and dog races. This bill was finally killed after the press and pulpit got busy. Just think of Rowan, Davie and Forsyth being put in the same Sena- t trial district. Should this happen we allow that nevermore will Davie county have a Senator in the North Carolina legislature It is enough t > make some folks weep. If our legislators- connot live in Rileigh on $10 per day we think the: North Carolina legislature should adjourn insianter and not meet again for the next twenty years. Most of the foil s. who voted for the said legislators afe living 1 n a darn sight less than half the a- mount the lawmakers are d ra w in g . Clay Williams came over from Winston Salem last fall and told the Davie county voters that they should elect a democratic ticket. Wonder if Clay went to Raleigh to tell the legislature where to raise the millions necessary to ruu the schools for six months? We will bet dollars to doughnuts that Wil liams didn't tell the lawmakers to tax the big tobacco corporations in this state. We understand that he has been camping in Raleigh for the past several weeks. If the poot m tn in Davie or any other county believes that the millionaires are going to do anything to hurt them selves and help the working man, then they have another thought Cr two coming. The Reynolds Tobacco Co., cleared more than twice enough money last year to JJiy for a six months school term. We would like to know just what the tobacco growers in Davie think of the tobacco companies who bought tbeir tobacco the past sea son. We understand that Mr. Williams is a oig stockholder in the Reynolds company and is also employed as council by the said Company. Macedonia Church To Build.

STEPHENSON President American Bankers Association BANKERS recognize that their busi ness carries especially heavy pub lic responsibilities and welcome all sound measures to them meet tho duties this im poses. Unceasing efforts to bring about continually improving meth ods to safeguard depositors in banks of all kinds have long been up permost in the plans of bankers* organiza- tions throughout the nation. They are not the outgrowth merely of the past year of business adversity, but have been carried on'actively for many years and have resulted in great prog ress along lines of better, safer bank ing methods. Although banking along with all business has suffered reverses, conditions in this field have been far less severe than they would have been had not bankers been widely success ful in their endeavors to develop the high standards of banking that, now generally prevail. The American Bankers Association a - 1 bankers* organizations in every state actively support the principle of government supervision of banking. The national. banks, which receive .their charters to do business from the federal government, aro under the su pervision of the Comptroller of the Currency at Washington. Through his efficient staffs of expert bank examiners in every section he has the duty and powers to keep watch of the way every national bank is being conducted, to suggest desirable changes in its poli cies or methods and even to step in and take control for the protection of the depositors if such action is war ranted. The stats banks, also, which are chartered by the various state gov ernments, are subject to similar su pervision and control by state bank officials. In addition banks in many places have long maintained voluntary clearing house associations which en force even closer supervision over their members. Bankers Favor Public Supervision Present laws adequately enforced contain ample provisions for govern ment supervision. Bankers univer sally believe in strong, capable banking departments manned by officials with the* discretion and courage to enforce these laws and act under them as the common* welfare demands. They be lieve that these public officials should be paid sufficient salaries to command the services of men of character, ability and a resolute spirit of public service. They believe alco that the banking de partments should be kept free from all political or other special influence in order to bo able to act at all times with single-minded independence solely for the benefit of the public interest. Although banks in the<Jn:tcd States operating under state or national char ters are thus subject to supervision of public authority, they aro strictly pri vate business enterprises. They are owned by their stockholders and ad ministered by officials chosen through the boards of directors which their stockholders elect. No bank is owned,or operated by tho United States Gov ernment, nor, with one small exception in a western state, by any state gov ernment. The function of government in banking is to promote and enforce careful banking administration through the system of examination and super vision which I have described. This, however, does not relieve the individu-' al depositor from the necessity of judging and choosing carefully as to his banking relations, just as in his other business or professional rela tions. He must inquire for himself into the character and type of institution and men he shall do business with, satisfying himself as to their reputa tion, reliability and capability. These qualities are essential to complete the element of safety and dependability in any human institution. An Hlasory Law . The bank deposit guaranty law in any Iorm is a snare and a delusion, de clares a banker in a state wliere it has been tried, adding: “It is a license and encouragement to irresponsible bank3 and banking and penalizes capital sol vency and prudent banking. It creates a sense of security in tho minds oI tho ■ unthinking and uninformed that is false and impossible to be realized on ultimately. To compare it to legitimate insurance is without reason and ab surd. It jeopardizes the solvency of all banks, and the safety of all depositors for the theoretical safety of a few. Guaranty schemes always have been, are and always will be impotent, futile and disastrous. It is not new. Has been tried, failed and discarded at intervals ‘ for more than 100 years in this. coun try.* No well-informed, honest and in telligent mind can accept it in . prin ciple or practice. Competent bank su pervision and restriction of banks to territory that will warrant sufficient capital investment and accounts is the only sane and honest course And will afford all the guaranty the depositing public is entitled to as compared with all other human affairs.” STEPHENSON THE COMMUNITY AND ITS BANKS By ROME C. STEPHENSON President American Bankers Association Y/hile upon the individual bankers there rests without qualification the di rect responsibility for the prudent, hon est conduct of their institutions, nevertheless the soundness of banking as a prac tical matter of fact is a commun ity problem In which the public has a part to play as well as bankers and - government officials charged with the super vision of banks. In th e first place, the assets of a bank, outside its government bonds, consist mainly of loans to business men-^md of invest ments in securities created by corpo rate enterprises. The deposits of a bank are not kept in the vaults as idle cash but are employed in these loans and investments to earn the money to pay the expenses of the bank so that it can render services to its customers and-'also pay them interest on such deposits as bear interest If there were no such thing as unsound business men or enterprises there would be no such thing as unsound assets in a bank. It is of course the unquestioned duty of the banker to choose only sound loans and investments, but the diffi culty of such judgment, and human judgment is never infallible, is plainly increased in such times and under such- conditions as we have been passing through, with many businesses not making expected earnings and there fore hampered in meeting their obliga tions. Unfortunately some invest ments and loans created by persons outside the banks which found their way into the banks in a relatively few instances have reflected the unwise business policies and conditions that became more than usually prevalent in our business activities and contribu ted to the difficulty of banking. The vast bulk of bank assets,. however, are -100 per cent sound above all ques tion. “Hard Boiled" vs. “Easy” Banker In another aspect the people of the community have a part to play in main taining the soundness of their banks, and that is through the medium of patronage. The existence of a bank is dependent on public patronage. If only those banks were patronized in which the most careful policies were practiced and the most conscientious and able men In charge, it would go far toward maintaining the standards of banking. If business men In a com- .munity when refused loans by their banks for good and sufficient reasons because conditions are not favorable, thereupon withdraw their business to banks where less careful methods pre vail, they clearly contribute to the cre ation of a less sound banking situation. Also if, in the heat of competition, a banker offers higher interest rates or more free service to attract custom* - ers than the earnings of conservative banking justify, and is encouraged by the patronage of the public as against a more conservative .bank, obviously the public is again playing a part in bringing about a less sound banking situation. It is an unfortunate fact that the banker who is strict, “hard boiled” if you please, is liable to be' less popular than the “easy” banker, and by that same token the public it self has a voice in influencing the char acter of banking. Also it is the public in the end which pays the main part of the penalty if unfortunate results follow. Still again the public can exert an influence in shaping the character of banking, by supporting the purposes of bankers to maintain intelligent, inde pendent, honest banking supervision by the public banking departments through insisting that this function of government shall be kept as free from political influence as the judiciary it self and shall be manned only by men of the highest ability and character. In still another way can the people themselves contribute to maintaining the ability of their banks to meet their obligations, and this is by granting them the fullest possible confidence. As I said, the deposits are not kept as - cash but are invested in loans and se curities. Even the soundest: assets of this type require some time to recon vert at full value into cash deposits. In many cases of bank troubles the only thing wrong with a bank was an unduly suspicious and apprehensive Btate of mind in its customers created- by no act or condition of its own but by baselesB rumors which sometimes led them to destroy the value of their own deposits by demanding them Jm-. mediately, forcing a bank to sacrifice its assets and otherwise disrupt its financial operations. Bankers Help - During tlie year 1930 the Banters’ Association of Langlafle County, 'Wis consin, worked out the finances for a cooperative milk plant, -which entailed the raising of ?100,000, and also spon sored an active I-H-ClBb campaign that culminated in an “Achievement Day” program, in which upwards of 400 young people participated.- The increase in the number interested in this work was 201) per cent g.hst the past two year period.

Grandma Wayback Says When you see a woman in a brown study today she is usually trying to figure out a way to make his ueighbors green with envy. Marriage makes mote lips kiss- proof than auy lipstick can. Wheu a married man learns to love another woman it is usually because his wife makes the lessons easy. » One reason riiouern kids grow up to be so spoiled is because moth ers of today, spare the prints and voile the child. Most folks would be lots happier if they didn’t put in so much timr worrying whether they are as hap py as they might be. If there’s auy kitchen aprons in a flapper’s hope chest it’s a safe bet they fit the husband she gets. Wby Tbe Law Is Jeer ed At. The Democratic sheriff of Edge combe county was ,convicted of em bezzling j 5ix,soo and was given the light sentence of only two years in the state prison from which senten ce he appealed and will doubtless get .the ear of the “Executive Counsel”' and pxobably not go to prison at all or at least have his sentence reduced. This is at the rate of $5 700 a year even if he spends' the two years in prison. A young fellow who stole an automo bile valued at less than $500 gets five years. AU of which leads the Greensboro News to remark that “embezzlement continues to be a better proposition Ilian lerceny.” — Ex. < The demand for lespedeza seed in Union County has become so great that County Agent T.
