Many preachers and de­ legates will be present and spring chickens had better' take to the woods. Hoover Scans the Hori zon. President Hoover took occasion to tell the nation and the world through the medium of his address- to the Republican Editorial Asso­ ciation of Indiana of the “plan” he has in mind for the American oeople. "We plan to take care of 20 000- 000 increase in population in the next twenty years. We plan to build for them 4,000.000 new and better homes, thousands -of new and still more beautiful city build­ ings, thousands of factories; to in­ crease the capacity of_our railwavs; to add thousands of miles of high­ ways and waterways; to grow 25 per cent, more farm products. “We plan to provide new parks, schools, colleges and churches for this 20.000,000 people. We plan more leisure for men and women and better opportunities for its en­ joyment. We not only plan to provide for all the new generation, but we shall by all scientific re­ search and invention, lift the stand­ ard of living and security of life to the whole people. We plan to ob­ tain a greater diffusion of wealth, decrease in provertv, and a greater reduction in crime.” But how is this plan to be carried out? It will be carried out “if we keep on giving the American peo pie a chance. Its impulsive forces is Sn the character and spirit of our people. They have already done a better job for 120,000,000 people than any other nation in all his­ tory.” The President is for the continuance of the American idea, which he defines as equality ot op portunity and self-initiative in en terprise with effective regulation upon the part of government to prevent imposition. The immediate step, he says, is to rout the forces of economic dis­ ruption and pessimism that have swept upon us. He believes that tne worst of the storm has passed and that a greater measure of con ndence is imperative. With it in effect he sees a speedy returned to a "greater and more wholesome prosperity than we have ever know ”—Ex. A Washington preacher talked for-12 hours, illustrating the mali­ cious influence of close proximity to Congress.. H. P. Green, of Raleigh, R. 3. is growing no cotton this year for the first time in his 40 years of farm ing. He has 14 cows, 600 hens, a bout 1.200 chicks and plenty of feedstuffs, Babson Predicts. Here comes the sun, so give 'way to the clouds of gloom and depres sion. This is what Roger Babson1 says th_e great economist who is just about as good on business pre­ dictions as the weather forecaster is on the weather. Babson has made quite a reputation for him­ self, and almost every one has a great deal of respect for what he has to say. He was talking for publication when he said it too. The outstanding authority did not made any rash prediction, bin he did say business has seen its worst and better days agaiu com­ ing slowly but surely. It looks to us as if this is some worth talking about. The trouble with most of us is we have heard so much about depression it seems to have gotten into our systems Now is the best time of any to get it ou'; and the best way is to start talking and bring about prosperity One of the funny things is that Babson chides the Uewspapers for not printing gloomy and depressing stories when things were tunning at high speed, for not printing gloomy and depressing stories when things were running at high speed, for it is his opinion this would have helped to ward off the approaching depression. He predicted America was riding for a fall and she got a hard one. Now that he is predict­ ing better days we will believe that and start out to make it true.— Winston Sentinel.

Cows have kicked us, a liorse stepped on us once, a cotton Jtu tackled us and did us up pretty sharply. We have fallen from trees ind from the scaffling of a house; been in two train wrecks, one c-f them in Georgia where we saw men, women and children^smaslud up all about us; been struck twice by lightning, as many of our hon e friends know (this is no joke); been on a burning steamship in the Guif of Mexico when an excited woman threw a trunk down the slairwt y to light ou the back of our uecl ; jumped from a burning building in Danville, Va., at 3 a. m.; fell down a flight of stairs iu the Alabama hotel in Chicago (we were dtatumy that night, Monday, October 8 cr 9, 1893); fell backward lrotn the plat-form of a Seabord Air Lit e passenger tain in Hamlet, N.

C., one of our own cars Deing driven by a hired chauffeur when he wrecked it, almost murdering us. VVe were hit by a car iu Goldsboro a few weeks ago and knocked down. VVe have had the smallpox to try us out, and all other ailments, near­ ly known to science. We stuck a cat’s nose to an oil lamp ehinnet once sitting close to us on our edi torial desk when the critter’s hind and front feet tuovtd like lightning upsetting the lamp holding a hall gallon of kerosene, causing it to ex plode, blowing us up. VVe put it out and saved the house and our selves. Bttt the nearest we have ever been to St. Peter’s domains was Sunday evening last, at Her- uert Holden’s Standard filling sta­ tion. Snow Hill, where a voting woman rammed us with oue oi those deadly contraptions known as an automobile. She didn't h.t us on purpose, but it hurt as if she had. Wewillnotgo into details of tha mishap, but tell what hap peued to us. 'Wewerekuockedin- to a cocked hat, our right leg was smashtd to a pulp, - but1 the hone was not broken. Our left hip was hurt, our’left knee was hurt, oui fight shoulder was hurt, our right thumb was huit, aud we were shaken up iu general as we took the eight foot plonge of death. Yet, we are still alive! A Countryside Tommy Tucker. I would like to advise that mv speeches are more suitable for picnic occasions and corn shucking and fish fries—would do for bull fights or chicken stew suppers. I was never much to’ play up a lot of religious talk. I started out to be original and to do so much be just myself. I don’t want anyone-to think I am trying to ride some gospel wagon right into some realm of holiness. I would like-to know I was living a de­ cent life and I think it is better to live righ if there is such a thing as heaven. We would be a belter citi­ zenship and it is the duty of every­ body to live a moral life and teach morals. But I never did want the peop e to think I was trying to- sail under false colors, and when you hear of old uncle chick oat out mak ing talks he is not trying to sell him­ self for any more than he is worth, and i.i these times of depression it can’t be much.—T. B. Laney, Mon­ roe Journab_____/' As far as most liousewives are concerned, swatting flies will soon become the national pest-time. It’s a long lane that has 110 turn ing, but that is no reason for you to lake a curve, before you see it. The River Still Runs Down Hill. Whatever else hard times does to us we should not lose pose and faith. Many preconceived notions have been upset iu the last two years. Soine have been through experiences that have tried their very souls, have altered the course of their lives. But whatever mis- firtuneor inconvenience we tuav h tve suffered there are certain t'tiths-that should not be forgotten. Fundamentally things . are vert Iiueh the same today as they were ■n 1925 or 1920 And they will be he same a year or a century hence. Moral aud physical and economic aws do not change. The river still uns down hill.- And the rewards of intelligent effort will be just as sure in the future as they have been in the past. The Monroe Journal prints the following story - by >Dr. Ashley Chappell, which Illustrates the point. Says Dr. Chappell: “I was down on the river fishing with .a very learned man. I was telling him about what you boys are now tell ing me (that things are in a bad way generally). He pointed to a swift eddy in the river and said; “When a little catfish gets caught in that eddy running back­ wards, he is sure to think that the river is tunning up hill. Butwhen a big old catfish that knows the whole river and understands the little edies comes into it he know- the Iittleniver is still running down hill as always " Cotton may never be 20 cents a- gain. But what ot it? Things wiil come around all right. Life will still be rich and sweet. Labor will have its rewards Physic tl neces­ sities will be supplied. And the river will always tun down hill.— Lauriubttrg Exchance. Had Crick in Neck. Roadside Nuisance.—The above caption could have been changed to Nationwide Nuisance, but in that case this article would have ceased to be local news. The nui sance we refer to is that of cars filled with what we should like to be able to call young ladies and gentlemen parked along roadsides and out iu solated side roads and the woods on Sundats and other days in the week. Now if any one has ever been found in such posi­ tion, for legitimate purposes, we are not referriug to you, but meaus this for those tvho iu ait uiigeutle manly aud unladylike manner park themselves along practically all highways in this aud other couu ties of the stale, to the extent of a nuisance to decent people who pas’s over these roads to and from church fust yesterday au esteemed lady ol this section, who is 82-years-old. was compelled to look upon one ol these roadside nuisauce in the shape of au automobile*occupied by two young people, a boy and girl, in an unbecoming position for the parlor much less for a public road scene, while she was out for recieational drive with relatives.—Wall City Correspendence, Lexington Dis­ patch. H’ist by His OwaPetard An unusual thing occured at the capture of the still in Williams township which we reported last week. Officer Carl Desem dipped up a bucketful of water he took to be water from an old tub and threw it on the fire, when Io the blaze shot out and burned his baud, rutned his shirt and bat. It was a tub of white lightning instead of water.—Chatham Record. People are still trying to beat the locomotives to the crossing, but there will be fewer to repeat it next year, Democrats Ask Tariff Raise. A new light appeared on the Haw Iey-Smnot tariff law a few dav« ag- when shoe manufacturers in Massa­ chusetts came before the Tariff Com­ mission appealing for an increase ii dutv. These manufacturers pro­ duced evidence to show that theii keenest competition came fron Czecho Slovakia, where shoes ar- orodueed at a labor cost on 28 De cent of that involved in Amerieai factories. With wages hardlv mor< than one quarter of those paid ii America, it was contended that Ba • kan manufacturers could lay do«u their product in American markets, pay the present duty of 20 per cet t and still sell their products at le.-s than the actual labor cost of Ameri­ can shoes. A specially interesting feature of the appeal of these Massachusetts manufacturers was that one 1 f th< spokesman for them was Congress man William P. Oonney, a Democrat Nodoubtif they had desired thiy could have had the support also of the other three Democratic Cot - cress men from their State and thi D imocratic Senator. Leader of tht Democratic party have had a good deal to say about the “exorbitant’ rates of the 1630 tariff act, and yet we have the diverting spectacle of the first major demand for highei protection coming from Democratii Congressmen And still nobody should be surpris ed. It is a role Democratic Congress­ man long have played—demanding high tariffs for industries in which their own states are interested whih heaping anathema upon the protec tive system in general Incidentally this Massachusettt appeal illustrates the absurdity ol the Democratic argument that lower tariffs would mitigate the depres sion. The tariff ou shoes is so low that Czechoslovakia cm send lh- products of her shoe factories hen and sell them at less than the labor cost of making • them in America. Does that fact mitigate the. depres sion for Massachusetts shoe makers? Kpparentlv Massachusetts shoe mak ers do not think so —Ex Goods Box Whittier. Bv J. F. Qljclc. Hickory, N C.

A dollar vill buy as much of almost every- hing today as a dollar and a half vould buy two years ago The re­ luct ion in the price of raw materials is now being fully reflected in the price or manufactured goods to the customer. Theremaynever be another op- oortunity, in the lifetime of most of is, to make a dollar go as far it will to today. We would never advise mybody. to go contrary to Benjamin Franklin’s wise counsel, when, he said: “Never buy anything you lon’t want merely because it is ••heap.” ’ But we know that lhous- mds of people in this community md vicinity have been putting off iuying things which they really want, believing that they would go lower. We feel justified in saying to those people that the time has come for hem to buy. Business in general is beginning to pick up rapidly. We can’t tell how far up it is going, and probably we shall not have another ;uch * boom” as we had three or four years ago—at least not right a- vay. But with business picking up ■ven appreciably, money for wages •nd materials getting back into cir -ulation, the number of I uyers will ncreasc and the law of supply and iemand will attend to sending re­ tail prices upward again. If ever ihe advice to “buy now" was good, it is today. Drought Threatens Western States. The htirning fingers of a crop-de­ stroying drought are again tighten­ ing their hold on a small cluster of states in the N irthwest. * Wisconsin. Minnesota. North Da­ kota, M mtanna, Idaho and South Dakoto, have registered rainfall far •below normal this year. Wheat and other crops have suf­ fered heavy losses during M iy and -June, the important months in the 9,ring wheat belt. The prospects for immediate relief were said to be slight. Rain must come soon to -save the situation. Meanwhile Western Canada was even more disastrously hit. Saskat­ chewan Alberta and Manitoba, which grew last year some 400.000 OOO bushels of wheat—more than half as much as the entire United States— has seen the dry weather virtually destroy its enormous miles wide grain fields. A LiItle Bit Mixed/ It is something of a commentary on the kind of civilizantion in which we live, that a big . New York musical -revue recently put into effect a minimum wage of $100 a week for its chorus girls. Not. of course, that, anvbody ought to begrudge a chorus girl a nice fat pay envelope. If she can get her hundred a week, more poxver to her. She’s lucky. But, while this was happening, every city was filled with skilled workers at useful trades who could - not -get jobs at all. EvenTindustry was full of trained men who had had to lake sharp reduction in their pay Every town, from the larg­ est to the smallest, had plenty of men who were glad to get half- time or quarter time work.

Most merchants are glad to wel­ come new customers to their stores regardless of the customers politics, but we have come to the conclusion that there are one or two excep­ tions in this section. The merchant who is having fits because everybody doesn’t patronize home enterprises is the same fellow who is spending three times as much money with out of tlie-coun ty people as he spends with his own home folks. There are a lotof narrow-minded folks in this country; folks who be Iieve there is no good in anybody or anything—unless they vote a certain way—go to a certain church and trade with certain people. They may make a big noise for a- while but their days are numbered and .heir works will soon perish from the earth. Well, it seems that nobody knows just what is going to happen to the Davie county schools since the last legislature met aud revised the school laws. Some say we have lost a number of small schools, together with from six to a dozen teachers.

Raleigh, June 24.—State high­ way commission engineers, chief of them, Leslie R. Ames, Tuesday gave the “set up” for districts in the state system, which will make July I as big a day in North Caro Iina as July 4 in the nation ForJuIy r, 1931, marks the time when the last cent of road tax will be livied and all trace of the old sysiein will be gone. It has pass­ ed in the 10 years just closed fiom the old "warning in” savstem un­ der which every citizen of the state living on a public road and under 50 years of age maximum and iS minimum had to work the public roads four days in each year This foimof involuntary servitude has gone and tmbodv after Julv i. 1631 will ne required to. pay any road tax in North Carolina. Chairman 1£. B. Jeffress, late member of the general assembly from Guilford, will direct the tak­ ing over and JIr Ames will engi­ neer the approximate 50 ooc" miles of country roads. Mr. Ames to- dav announced his districts, 25 of them, into which the state will be divided for working purposes. They are in no sense related to the old system. Under the new plan there are'more miles to each of the five districts than were in the old state system at any time of it de development.

Their replies to the Question submit­ ted by the Chilean Nitrate of Soda Educational Bureau indicate that it would be poor economy to omit side- dressing on cotton and com this sea­ son. Such a step they say would mean lower acre yields and higher unit costs of a pound of cotton or a bushel of corn. Since there has been a drastic reduction in the fertilizer customarily used at planting lime, they feel it is all the mere important that these crops be liberally side-dressed with quick-acting nitrogen. Dr. Clarence Poe, noted editor of the Progressive Farmer, summarized the whole question as follows: 4T believe every farmer should ar­ range to do this (side-dress) this year as usual, but so reduce his cotton acre­ age that his total cotton production will be less than last year. Our cot­ ton farmers can not find relief in low production per acre. We must find it in higher yields per acre but with fewer acres given to cotton and more acres in food, feed, and fertility crops,’* NOTICE. STATE OP NORTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF DAVIE.

America’s “wheat problem” is not involved, complicated, abstruse pro position it has been pictured, in the judgment of Governor George White of Ohio In a statement which pre­ sented this situation in simple funda mentals, Gov White recently told his fellow governors, assembled at French Lick, Ind , what he believes should be done as a first construc­ tive, practical step toward the elimi nation of our troublesome wheat surplus.Brieflv, White showed that our domestic consumption of this cereal was reduced from about five and one half bushels per capita per year to about four bushels as a direct re­sult of the government’s “Save Wheat” propaganda during the warHaving led the public away from wheat, however, no official steps ever have been taken to restore our old ratio of national consumption He recommends support by the na tional government and the states of an "Eat Wheat” campaign which cut down our eating of wheat Restora­tion of our old time ratio of use', he savs. would add immediately about 150,000.000 bushels to our annual do­mestic requirement No other move he declares, could act so effectively or so promptly to reduce bur wheat surplus.—Ex Corn Champions Showi How to Reduce Costs Au analysis of the records made in the state-wide corn growing contests last year shows that all of the winners followed the same successful practices.

The aver­ age rate of application was 265 pounds of “Soda’\a n acre. The average yield of the group was HO bushels an acre, nearly six times the average yield in the South. The total cost of producing a bushel was 29 cents. This figure included every item of expense, such as seed, fer­ tilizer, labor, and rent of land. Here is proof that a hungry field of cotton or corn will pay big dividends for a side-dressing of .quick-acting nitrogen. In thousands of supervised farm demonstrations, a dollar's worth of Chilean nitrate used on cotton re­ turned §4.78 and on corn, §3.37. These figures show that even a crop appro* dates a good square meal. FOR THAT Week-End Trip Round Trip Tickets FARE and ONE FIFTH Between all Stations.

Conditions 40 Years Ago j Slow Down, World, Slow Down! Time Is Eternal. Here is what .Zeb Green, of j Marsbville, has to say about corn-j bread onions and conditions in j general 40 years ago: | Well, we are complaining and I bellyaching and we have nothing to growl about. If conditions set-, tie back to long years ago, say, 40 years ago, what in the thunder will some of these soreheads do.’ might as well get used to doin without luxuries and come on down to lever ground. You hear a big husky bo> say, ‘can't eat corn- bread, it scratches my thoat.’ Well, his throat will get used to that and anything else he gives it to swallow can remember years long ago when we swallowed . cornbread for breakfast and the only time we got buscnits was Sunday morning And the time has been if a boy bad seeu with golf clothes and a coto Ieue treated head he would have been shot at sunrise. Now, for goodness sake, look at them. Big cars roll around to drug stores and it’s candy, cream, cakes and let’s go. It used to be a molasses cake aud a glass of cider. , The men who have made good on the farm and as merchants were men with meager education. God pity the fellow that gets a little smattering of education and crawls back further in the shade. It takes more grease for the hair now than it took in Imy time to cook the bread.' The ‘donee’—now it costs 500 dollars to have a decent one. Back im my day-' 6c cents would have been big money to pay two fiddlers. When the children came home then they could get a hunk of corn bread, home raised and ground on a water mill, and go to the garden and eat about three big onions Now if you come-in with anyjpfilou your wife and whole family hoM'uj) both hands and scream, and sliow you out of the house. Back then theJCows would run on an onion pasture and the gobd'.mother would Iay^Uihji little ouiQYfiat|t your plate aud you:took a* bite1 first aud ‘I dare you to taste the onion in the milk.’ Now-it’s creamery butter and canned mtlk. •‘The folks have lost all modesty in jbtne places. Well, the folks s ty we are behind times aud now we are living in a different age. That we have to run like hell to stay where were Wi J :/e. Well, go 011 and butt into the wall. There is one over there.” Parachute Jumper Lands In Grave. Rochester, N. Y ,—If Barron Brodine, 19-years-old student para chute jumper of Pittsford, believes in omens, signs or portents, Mon­ day’s experience should make him think twice before continuing his career. Brodine jumped at 2,000 feet from a Brizee field plane piloted bjr Robert Hoffman. He waited requisite three seconds and pulled the rip cord. The’chute blossom­ ed out and he floated gently to the ground;—to land in a freshly dug grave in White Haven cemetery, adjoining the flying field. Big Shipment Of Spuds With almost 1,500 cars of Irish po tatoes already shipped through New Bern during the present Sehsoni the record has far surpassed last year’s 1.000 ears, according to Frank Davis Norfolk-Southern railway chief dis patcher. The peak was reached several days ago and only small ship ments are now being made. Although prices have been low this year, the farmers are not com­ plaining, it is reported. The yields were far highe than usual. The man who hales to be told how to run his car is pften grateful for driving lessons at the golf links. Dr. J. Powell Tucker, pastor ol the First Baptist church, spoke p parable iu his Sunday sermon when he declared that one great fault of the day is the speed at which Y 0 1 1' everything fiuished as quickly a.1 ’possible, to beaWhe other fellow to isome place. One result is the j mounting death loll on the high­ ways. But as deplorable as these accidents are they do not represent the most harmful effect of modern speed. In the rush through life peop’e rise to the surface just as a speed­ boat skins the water. They know little of the deer, finer things of life. , There is smaller time for con­ structive reading, for art, or the development of musical apprecia­ tion. Weight plays an-important pari in speed and the natuial result of a people striving after it is lightiiess. As the demand for speed increases, it brings shallow minds and nim­ ble feet. The world needs to slow down. Who can take in the beauties ol the country side while skipping a- skipping along the pavement at six­ ty per?

Norris Offered To The Democrats. Smator George W. Norris, of Nebraska, who is a Republican in name only and only when he wants to ride in into office has broken out in loud denunciation of Fhvsident Hooverrmd says he will not support him next year for president. This actionuf Norris is nothing new. In 1928 he bolted Hoover and worked and canvassed for Al Smith, yet in. ,1930 when the time came to elect a real Republican Senator from Ne' braska up pops Norris and says he is a good Republican and gets his name entered on the official ballot where thousands of Democrats anxiou'| to embarrass the Republican party/ de­ serted their own candidate, Hjtch- cock, and supported Norris which elected him. Even the national Democratic executive committee re­ fused a helping hand to their own nominee. And just as soon as he was elected, Norris again turned, his back on the Hoover administration and started-his disgusting obstruc tive tactics! The Democrats do not seem to be able to agree 08; a man or at least ^are unable to find one to make the -face in_1932 Why don’t they .no minate'Norris? Jie is a much bet- tec Democrat thaii many they al­ ready have in their parjy —Union Republican.'' Church Service For Golfers. A new solution.of the problem of getting the Sunday golfer to chuich is being tried Jfey Rev. Arthur S Wheelock. pastor of Highland Coi gregational . church. West Plainq N. Y. Promply at 8 . o'clock every Sunday morning, the pastor holds a special service fpr golfers and other sportsmen dressed in their play clothes. The service lasts 35 minutes' and then the players are free to go to their games. The . morning ser­ vice at Il o’clock; is held as usual. Whsther right of wrong this plan gets meh'to church who would not be there otherwise, - Those who have not made a close : iiudv of the highway map for this iection of the state perhaps do not realize how-important is the six- nile connecting link between No. jo and Harmony, known officially is N. C. 901. Those who will take trouble may make some very in- eiesling discoveries concerning his little road. It was graded last -ummer, is straight and beautiful­ ly located on a ridge, but only one nile of the six liasdustless surface. The balance is smooth as a flour -vlien the soft dust is pulled aside by the man, but it-badly needs tar- via or other dustless surfacing. When the link of No. 90 from Fork to Mocksville is fixed and surfaced and the five-mile link of 901 is rid of dust, here will be ati all-surface route between Lexing­ ton and Brooks Cross Roads and Elkiu from nine to ten miles short­ er than, the present all-surface route goes through heavy city tra­ ffic lights for more than two miles, the time-gud safety diference is much greater, not even counting anything for greater average den­ sity of traffic on Nos. 66 and 60, the Winston-Salem route. This is situation affects all motor traffic east and southeast of here that can be tapped by No. 90 at AshebofO. Silas City and Raleigh. The Ashboro junction reaches down into the Sandhills to Pine- hurst and beyond. The Silver City connection extends down to Fayetteville, Clinton and Wilming­ ton. The Raleigh connections spread out fan like to the Atlantic coast country. Measurements shown 011 the map indicate hardly a difference of one mile between these three junctions and Books Cross Roads, or IClkin aud Roaring Gap over 26 aqfl North Wilkes and Boone over No. 60. A litte shortening between Fork and Mocksville should resolve the dif ference in Measure distance in favor of the 90901-26 route. From Asheboro the present si I surfaced route leads through' High Point and Winston Salem, with two cent­ ers of traffi: congestion and greater density on the open roads. The mileage is almost indenlically the same as through Lexington and Mocksvilie. From Siler City the all-surface way is over No. 60 , the entire distance, with the distance shown on the map corresponding almost to a gnat’s heel with the prospective all surface route through heie. This present route has the city traffic of Greensboro and Winston Salem to contend with Raleigh’s nearest route to Brooks Cross Roads when No. 90 is finished and 901 surfaced will lie through Silver City, with a virtual tie in mileage and the lower route having unquestionably a material time aud safety advantage. For almost the entire territory of the State east-of the Yadkin Riverit is nearer to a mountain country for which Boone is a gate­ way through Drooks Cross Roads than it is around by Leuoir. No. 60 is now being shortened and com­ pletely surfaced up to Boone from North Wilkesboro 4 nc* t^lat work adds to the imperative na ture of the demand for the com­ pleting the gaps No, 90, which the present highway commission has indicated to be done quickly, and the surfacing of this five mile stretch of No. 901.—The-D.ispatch, From all reports the election held in Stan1V county in 1930 was a regu Iar farce. Absentee !allots bv Ihr hundred were voted by the Demc- crats and school teachers from South Carolina _nd counties other than Slanly voted the straight Democratic ticket. , Sheriff Noah A. Cooper v-as the victim of these alleged fraudulent ballots and was counted nnt by less than lOO’votes Naturally he want ei what was his by every knowr right and brought suit in the courts to have the election of his Democra tic rival, who had been given the certificate of office by a Democratic board of elections declared null ami void and Cooper be given the office From the very outset we had no idea that he would be successful in his fight as every court before whom he was to appear was a Democratic affair. First a technicality was sprung by the Democratic ring that Cooper had failed to get Ihe consent of the attorney genera! to the suit, something unheard of before. The Democratic ring also complained that Cooper had filed no indemnify ing bond, whom to indemnify we don’t know and on these-issues they issues they went before a Democra tic judge who of course sustained their contentions and threw the cast- out of court and Stanley county to day has a D imocratic sheriff who is holding his office, the title to which is clouded, on a mere technicality and drawing the salary that right­ fully belongs to Sheriff Cooper.—Ex. New Law Will Close Many Schools. About-150 small elementary schools and 175 high schools of the state will probably not reopen this fall as a result of the 1931»school law pass- e I by the last legislature. Figun s for the present year are not vet a vail able but are not expected to show a great deal of chance one way or another. The new law provides that no ele­ mentary school can be operated ex­ cept under extraordinary circum stances, if the average daily attend­ ance during the preceeding year was less toan 22 The same provision is carried for high schools with an average daily attendance of less than 50. Carrying out of the law will mean that, about half of 900 one-teacher schools in North Carolina will vani h and that there will be not only further consolidation.of elementary schools but of high schools as well, many small coui tes now having numerous high schools, some of which have only one or two teachers. The Iavy will also do away with some high schnols|wilh three teachers that number being allowed under the pre? sent law where the average daily at­ tendance is 45 or more. Business Is Rotton! ! Whose Business? At the Rotary c'uh in Charlotte Tuesday. Wickliff Rose, southern distributor for rayon yarn, told of sitting bv a stateman in a cafe and isked him about business and. The reply was "Rotten ” He asked him what he was selling, and the reply was "Coffee ” Then Mr Rose told him the coffee business should be good, as everyone who had a nickel would- spend it for 1 cup of ci-ffee Even th'o.ugh the man had nothing else to 1 at hewquld take ihat in preference to bread. Then the salesman told him, "My business good, but business in gener­ al is rotten ” That seems to be the attitude of a great many people today. They sav and believe taat business'is not so good and that there is little money in circulation, but they are willing to admit, that their own business is ' good Whatwe want to know is, "Wnose business is rotter:?” When we talk with the merchants in Charlotte that most all will ad­ mit that bnsmess in general is not so good but that their business is satis­ factory aud is really good. And some of the farmers are complain­ ing about poor business and the low price for their truck and produce. Bat when have we had so much to .eat and such a large suiqilus? When could they sell their beans cabbage fruits and other ,things they have now and make so much profit, or buy so much for the money they receive for these things? Even eggs have been so plentiful that the farmers have had all they want to eat and soiiie to sell and at 20 cents a dozen have bought as much for the eggs as they did in years just passed tvhen they were selling for double that price. Wa be.ieve that business in Char­ lotte and Mecklenburgcoucit)' is bet­ ter tlion it has been for some time and we are ready to say so to all in­ terested —Mecklenburg Times. AwokeInaDismaI Place When 18 year old Ivy Rogers, of Greenwich Conn, passed through Grand Central Terminal, in New York, on her wav to get her tram for home she fainted. A physician examined her and pronounced her ‘ dead and sh6 was placen in a tem­ porary morgue, damp and without ventilation. There a few minutes later she awoke, and her- screaming and pounding on the door finally brought an attendant who released her. This couutrv is the. richest na­ tion in the world. The difficulty is that the bulk .of the wealth of the country is in the hands of a few people.

The Reynolds tobacco company has notified the trade of an increase in the price of cigarettes—from $6 40 to §6.85 per thousand. Well you can’t say that the increase is due to the luxury tax, which was not laid. There was much lamen- tat-ion aoout depriving the po’ man of his pleasure if the luxury tax was imposed, by increasing lhecost of the smokes. But the legislative f iend and guardians of the poor neglected to have cigarette people sigii up not to increase the price; an I the po’ man will have to pay, as always.—Statesville Daily. Bishop Cannon. Charlotte, June 92. — Bishop James Cannon Jr., in a statement issued here today, sharply assailed persons who are "morally drv” but are willing to support a wet candidate “for-n political reasons.” ' Bishop Cannon said: “Anyone who now opposes a wet candidate upon a moral basis— I want you to get this, especially— and then later, after a wet has been nominated,'turns around and sup­ ports the wet candidate and wet platform, cannot justify his posi tion on a moral basis,, but only upou a political basis,” J Democrat Tells Truth. Congressman R. L. D ughtin of the old eighth district, now the new ninth, was in Raleigh the other dry and when questioned as to whether he would be a candidate for the U. S Senate against Morrison replied in the negative and indicated tl at he would again run for Congress, saying at the time “the job I now have is too big for me ” Spoke the truth one time Banker Bob. We have long been one of the same opinion that that the job you hold is "too big” for you and in 1928 the people of the district were of the same opinion- but there was enough Democratic rascality practiced in 1 Ashe, Alleghany and Watauga that [year to give you and the certificate I over the World War veteran W.

A number of political hats have ■already been thrown in the ring in North Carolina. We wonder if they were this season’s straws or last winter’s wools?

Next month comes the big an­ nual Masonic picnic 011 Aug. 13th. The following month is when the big Davie Couuty Fair.‘tuts. ThecS are the two big events in the coun­ ty, and it is not too early to begin thinking about them. Last winter many Davie folks were yelling for warm and dry weather. For the past two weeks most ol them have bean howling because the weather was too hot and the ground too dry. It is a hard mat ter to satisfy a hundred million people. > We don’t know what it takes to be popular in Mocksville. If cuss ing out everything and everybody— knocking the Otheri man's business —making mean remarks about your competitors and criticising every good move that is started, means popularity—then it wouldn’t be a hard job tor us to award the medal. We would just like to know at what hour the Mocksville fire siren sounds, or is supposed to sound. It is generally about 12:05 p. 111., when this wierd and blood-curdling sound disturbs the peace and dig­ nity of our sleepy little village. If it has to be blown why not make the hour at 12 o’clock, noon, so we will all know when the corn and beans are on the thble. Well, the state has taken over all the roads in Dayie county— have turned hundred of convicts loose on the country and put in a new bunch of pie eaters We would appreciate it very much if the foreigner who is running things in this section would give us a list of Republicans who are holding jobs under the present democratic ad­ ministration in Davie county?

Sv:ne of the detno- craiic politicians are rejoicing over the deplorable - condition while others are asking themselves whose business it is going to be to loon, after the poor and needy children, the sick and afflicted the aged and infirm, and those who cannot help themselves. They are wondering who will be responsible for the way­ ward boys and girls who often need a helping haud, and those who take del’ght in ignoring the, laws of so­ ciety and the- laws of *he land. The welfare office was one of the most important offices in the coun­ ty and has saved the taxpayers thousands of dollars as a result of the increased school attendance which was brought' about through the untiring work of Sirs. Queen Bess Kenuen, who labored for the past six years to make Davie a bet­ ter couuty in which to live. Her services cost the county but liule— not more than a few ceuts for each taxpayer. The small sum the county will save isn’t worth half as much as the saving of one boy or girl from a life of shame and de­ gradation. Time alone will con vince the majority of the ciiizensof Davie cquniy that a grave mistake has been made iu abolishing this important office. . Mr. James Fry Passes.

TheStateHighwav Commission will receive bids on July 21st for several road projects, among them being'the road from Mocksville to Fork Church, on highway No. 90.

Four acres of wood laud was cleared last winter by Su­ perintendent Boger aud two assist ants in addition to the regular work. Mr. Boger is putting forth a great effort to make the home self-sup porting and is making rapid pro press along that line. Thousands of jars of fruit are canned annually from the 65 peach and 35 apple trees which are loaded this year; 2S grape vines in their prime add to the fruit . crop. Five head of Guernsey cows sup ply plenty of milk and butter and from eight to..twelve hogs are kill­ ed annually to keep the larder sup­ plied.

Great improvements are made constantly on the condition of the buildings and grounds and Ihe place presents a very pleasing a neat an pearance both winter and summer. Of the thirteeu inmates now at the home three are white aud ten colored.

Aged KiiIerOut On Bond 1 First Cotton Bloom. Davie Welfare Office Abolished. Divie county Democratic board of commissioners have taken an­ other backward Iitep when they a- bolislied. the first of July, the of­ fice of welfare offi.er. The work will be trousferred to that of the county superintendent of schools, W. F Robinson. It is announced that Robinson will have an assistant to look after this particular phase of the work so where does the economy come in? Mrs W. E Kennen, Republican of Mocksville, has been Davie wel fare officer for six years and her work is said to be highly satisfac­ tory but being a Republican she had to walk the plank. If the Davie Democratic board follows in the footsteps of the Davidson and Surry board in the matter of_abolishing offices because they were held by a Republican aud then after a lapse of a month or two re-establish them and place a Democrat iu charge it will not be a great while until Davie will have a brand new Al Smith Democratic welfare officer and it will make no difference if he isn't competent, if he is . a Bemociatic worker he will get the endorsement ct the State Welfare Commissioner a.t Raleigh.—Union Republican. Has Narrow Escape. While seining in Dutchman Creek Saturday afternoon Boone Stouestreet, one of the Mocksville rural letter carriers, came near losing his life by drowning. He got into deep water aud became ex­ hausted. Hubert Carter went to his aid, but aiso-became exhausted and had to turn him loose. ' Everett Walker, who was some distance a- vvay, went to' the rescue, and after being pulled undtei the water twice by the drawning man, he “managed to get him by the hair and rescue him. with the assistance of . John Smith, who helped ooth' to. the bank. It was a close call for- Mr. Stouestreet, who would no doubt have been drowned had it not been for the brave work done by Carter, Walker and Smith. / J. H. Hauser, 8r-year old farmer, who shot and killed his son-in-law, Fred Styers at his farm house in Davie county 011 May 28, was given his. liberty under a $7,500 bond in a habeas corpus hearing Thursday at Lexington, presided over by Judge Hoyle Sink. The aged man had been in jail at Mocksvilte since the afternoon he shot Styers The bond was signed by his son, Flovd Hauser, aud T. H Cash, superintendent of Forsyth couuty schools, both of Winston Salem. The habeas- coipus proceedings latested for two hours aud several witnesses were put 011 the stand, the most important of whom were Hauser himself aud Hall Walker, who talked with Hauser the night preceding the tragic shooting. Walker said Hauser told him about his troubles'witli his son in-law aud declared he ought 10 be killed. W. M. Hendren1 of Winston Sa lem, and A T. Grant, of Mocks­ ville, were the attorneys for Hauser while Solicitor John R. Jones, ot North Wiikesboro1 represented the state, aud B. C./Brock, bf Mocks­ ville, and A. C. Bernard, of Wins-' ton Salem, represented the private prosecution Hauser, who admitted killing his son-in-law, will face trial at the August term of- superior court in Mocksville. It is understood that Judge John H Clement will pro­ bably preside over the trial, Hauser’s shooting of Styers is re­ ported to have culminated years of disagreement and quarrelling be­ tween them Sty'ers, after marry­ ing Hauser’s daughter went to live with her parents on their farm Io cated about 15 miles from Winston- Salem just off the Mocksville road. Ou the particular day of the trag edy„ it was shortly after noon and Styers had started to enter the house when the elder man warned him if he came in he would shoot him. according to reports.

The only IiiiYrence in the trfiilnieut is that, the cotton at the riffht received Chilean A farm management survey in North Carolina shows that cotton yields in that state must he increased by at least ICO pounds of lint an acre in order to make a profit this year. Of the growers’ records "studied, none who produced less than 340 pounds of lint made a profit, according to farm management specialists at the North Carolina State College. Other tests in the state have shown that one of the surest ways to increase cotton yields is by side-dressing with quick-acting nitrogen shortly Sftcr chopping. A summary of a large num­ ber of farm demonstrations indicates that a side-dressing of 150 to 200 pounds of Chilean nitrate has in­ creased the yield by 116-pounds of lint an acre. In other words, the side- dressing alone made up the difference between the average yield and the yield required to make a profit at pres­ ent prices. In demonstrations conducted in North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, an investment of $4.12 for side-dressing added $12.60 to the value of the crop on each acre. The average increase in yield due to the side-dressing was 126 pounds of lint an acre, Late9 Mr. WeeviiUse m [chopping ana berore squaring begins. “The common application is 100 to 200 pounds of Chilean nitrate of soda per acre. This quick-acting plant food speeds up the development of the bolls so that the cotton on the lower branches is safely out of danger when •the weevil puts in its appearance. Heavy Cottoii YieMs Mean Low-Unit Costs This shows' how Southern Xavmers have outsmarted ono-o£ their worst enemies, the boll weevil. Notice that the cotton bolls have opened on the lower branches of these stalks. They are, out o£ danger,' sa£e from the rav­ ages o£ the weevil, In sections where weevil infestation is heavy it is always difficult to ma­ ture the bolls on the upper half o£ the stalks. Growers have discovered, however, that a full crop of cotton may still be grown by spacing the stalks closer together, leaving two stalks in each hill instead of one. A side-dressing of Quick-aetin'g nitro­ gen is used to speed up the devel­ opment of the bolls. In this way two stalks produce as large a crop in about half the time as was formerly made on one stalk during a longer unmo­ lested fruiting period. The side-dressing is applied after The rock bottom cost of producing a pound of see.d cotton last year was probably 214 cents. At least, that is what it cost the winners of cotton- growing contests In nine Southern States. An inspection of their records shows that every one of the winners, 22 jn all, side-dressed their crop. The aver­ age application was 200 pounds of Chilean nitrate per acre, applied about 45 days after planting. It is sometimes said that while the winners of crop-growing contests make high acre yields, their cost of unit’ production is abnormally high. This is far from being the case. In fact, as shown by these record;;' the cost of growing a pound of cotton was reduced as the yield was increased. Does anybody really believe tha' the depression would not have come, that the United States would have escaped what has hit every other couutry in the would, if the Democrats had won in 1928? Aud does anybody honestly beleive that Al Smith in the White House would have doue more to lessdn the severity of the disaster' or to bring it to an early end than Her­ bert Hoover has done? Early tobacco in Columbus coun­ ty is -growing slowly and indica­ tions are that the acre yield will be low. MR. DAIRYMAN! We carry a big line of Dairy Feed at low prices.

Who Oppose Prohibition Who wants the Eighteenth A mendment modified or repealed? Dr. C. C. Weaver, preaching at Csolenary Methodist Church Sun­ day night, gave a succinct and complete auswer to this question. The first group that wants pro hibition weakened comprises those who want to drink but do not want to break the law when thev do so They wish Io drink legal­ ly. In the old days a man who drand had to guard against making a show of himself by getting drunk Now there is the additional phase of lawlessness Anolher group that opposes the Eighteenth Amendment consists ol those who want to make money out of the liquor traffic. "There have always been men,” the minis ter said, who would sell their souls, tbeir country, and even their Lord for money. The Association for lhe repeal of the Eighteenth A mendment is not interested in the moral aspect of the diink issue but are out for the money. A third class that wants prohibi­ tion abolished is made up of the politicians who, having no con­ structive ideas for the improvement of government, see in the agitation agaiust prohibition a chance to ad­ vance their own ambitious and in­ terests. The minister warned the politi­ cal parties that certain decline and oblivion awaits them if they openly and definitely, or even under cover, espouse the cause of prohibition modincatiou or repeal —Winston Journal. Time For Efficiency In Government. When a private Business has a deficit, it begins to cast around for ways and means to increase its earning power or decrease its over­ head. Novv that our Federal govern­ ment is facing a gigantic dedeficit, many of our law-makers are chiefly concerned with how to “increase" taxes. Tax gathers overlook the simple fact that in times of distress, tlie more taxes that are taken from the people, the less money there is for productive enterprise Aud it is from productive entei prise that all taxes and employment must even­ tually come. Industries and individuals have been readjusting themselves to pre­ sent conditions. Let tax levying bodies follow the same course or admit to the peoole that they are incompetent to adjust government expenditures to government in- eome.—Ex. Roosevelt Wetter Than Smith. Washington, June 29 —Au edi­ torial charactering Governor Roose­ velt of New York as “wetter than Smith” and calling upon southern Democratic women to bolt the par­ ty if he is nominated for President was published today by the Nation­ al Women’s Democtatic Law Eu forcing League in its official organ, The Womeu Voter.” The editorial also assailed Colon el Edward M. House, confidential adviser to President Wilson, who recently conferred with Roosevelt in Maine. Referring to a state­ ment attributed to House that the New York governor would be ac­ ceptable to the drys it said: "What drys does be mean? The very tew southern politicians who supported Smith in 1928?” After the wreck comes the reck­ oning. The only safe moonshine is the nature made. Mrs. W. T. Bosf, Commissioner Public Welfare, Expresses Regret. We print the following letters wiih the permission of Mrs. Kennen1 Welfare Superintendent for the past six years: Raleigh, N. C , June 22, 193,1. Mrs. Queen Bess Keuuen. Supt. Public Welfare, Mocksville, N. C. DearMrs Kennen:—We have had nothing official from your County, so I am assuming from what Sirs Sprinkle said after a conference with Vou1 that the welfare work is being abolished in Davie County. I am very sorry indeed iliat tJie work is Io be discontinued as I feel that in these davs of economic stress that welfare work is more needed now ihan ever. Although I have not worked with you very long, I know that you have given faithful years of service to the work and have shown a fine spirit ot co operation wil Ii our State Board. I wish to Ihank you personally for the active interest you have always showu in the work. I hope vou are still reserving the week beginning July 13th for our Public Welfare Institute. Sincerely vours, Mrs. W. T. BOST1 Commissioner. Mocksville, N. C., June.30, 1931. Mrs. W. T. Bost. Commissioner, State Welfare Office, Raleigh, N C. DearMrs Bost:—Thanks for your kind letter of June 22nd. I .should have answered sooner, but have been so busy with last minute Welfare work, getting off reports, etc. I am finishing my Welfare term of of­ fice today aud turning everything over to Mr. Robinson in good shape, I think. With the exception of a Miiall iniuoritv, all of the good people of Da­ vie county join with you in being sorry that the Welfare office is being discontinued. I think we should" call it a political error for the Welfare work has been done at such a M iinll cost in this county, 011U increas­ ing taxes 15c. on the thousand dollars of valuation, that I do not see how we can care for our infirm-and needy as required by law, with any less mouey. Looking back over my past six vears of Welfare service to Davie county, I have no apologies to make to myself or to the people of my county, for I feel that I have given honest and faithful scrvice impar­ tially, to the fullest extent of my energy of body and mind. I count these years as among the most interesting in my life. My friendship aud work with the State Board I couut as a most delightful and valu able experience. I thank you for your kiud words of encouragement and the pleasure of haviug been a part of youi system these past mouths Thanks for the invitation to attend the Public Welfare Institute but shall not plan to do so this year, as I shall be taking a much needed rest. Tell all the folks hello for me, aud they and you wi'l ever have my good will and best wishes. Sincerely yours. QUEEN BESS KENNEN. To The Friends of Welfare Work. I want to extend my siucere thanks for all your loyal assistance to me as Welfare Superiutendent of Davie county for the past six years Without your interest and sympathy, and your personal and financial assistance, I could not have carried my load aud rendered helpful ser vice to the great number of citizens who needed us. The work has been most interesting to me, and these past six years of co-operation with county and state officials, has been a pleasure without a single unpleasant incident to mar its memory. Good will and good wishes to all. QUEEN BESS KENNEN, Retiring Welfare Superintendent. The Record thought and still thinks that the Davie county com­ missioners made a mistake in abolishing the Welfare office. Partisan politics should not be stressed when it comes 10 the question of desii- tute and starving children, illiteracy, morality aud other work that on­ ly a welfare officer can look after. For the benefit of “Foreigner” we want to quote what a prominent DEMOCRATIC lady of Davie couutv said through the columns of The Record last week: “Let the women of North Carolina see that Davie county women are not dead, but the powers that be are sleeping. No farm agent, no couuty demonstrator uo welfare officer. . . Holding our money and ambitions, if we have any, in a tight wad, blowing the trumpet of economy, while other cour- ties are going forward in countywide progress. Women of the county of Davie, let me beg1 of you to let your light shiue in this dark hour. Let us put our shoulders to the wheel of progress and see if we can’t at least have the DOG TAX and some of the whisky revenue of Davie county applied to the uplift ot our citizenship as other counties are do ing.” This is a fearful indictment agaiust the Davie county board of commissioners. The voters will have an opportunity next year to rec­ tify these mistakes. Wholesale Man’s Letter to Customer and Reply. ‘I read with very great interest the letter a creditor wrote to a cer tain merchant explaining why he could not pay his bill, the story ap pearing in the Town Topics column of Tuesday’s Sentinel.” stated one of Winston Salem’s leading mer­ chants Wednesday. He declared that the creditor’s later sized up the situation about right, according- to his experience. The local merchant remarked that the story reminded him of a letter once set by "a wholesale merchant to one of his Customers in an adjoining state. It was carefully worded and contained only the kindest interest in the retail merchant. The jobber explained that he was “up against it, and as he had some large bills coming due and “if you. and other customers do not come across with their payments I will simply be 'a- goner,’ he added. In replying to the letter, the re­ tailer declared that he was also "up against it” and that he saw no way of meeting the account “now or any time in the future.” Concluding his explanation, the creditor added words|to this effect: If you find that it will be necessary for you to take your departure in order to dodge those you owe, just come by and I will go with you.” Why Devil Will Catch Hell. Some good men drink, and some­ times get tight. Ther hate to do it and want to quit, but when their friends get it and plead with them, to drink, they can’t resist the temp­ tation. Eve was the best woman in the world, and the devil tempted her to violate the prohibition law, and he will land in bell for that one act. So will other tempters.— Goods Box Whittier.

Julius D ivis, Master Farmer, of Polk county, and a real “Liveat- Home” farmer and believer in the necessity of canning and preserving fruits and vegetables this summer and fall is writting a new kind of an agricultural record ot. his farm on route No 3 . Mill Spring. He has perfected a new variety of corn which has won several awards and prizes for him He has named thp variety ‘ Davis” corn and he is truing to place his own corn ,.n display ai the forthcoming; World’s Fair ir; Chicago. But perfecting corn vari ties, growing improved strawberries and other such undertakings are not even a small part of Mr. Davis’ w o rk .He is a real dirt farmer, lives on a fine farm with his wife and family and makes a really com­ fortable and financially successful living each year. Mr. Davis does not waste any thing, time, money or produts of the farm. He farms in a modern way and uses improved machinery. He is continually experimenting wii.h new varieties of seed, new melh»ds of culture, new kinds of farm crops, etc. And he has found that even the farmer must progress in more ways than one. In Mrs. Davis, he has a help, mate, who has proven invaluable. She is the home maker, the one who sees to the can­ ning and preserving and other means of utilization of garden and orchard products. The Divis home is known as the ‘Grow Variety Farm.” The name, in itself, indicates'the aims and as­ pirations of the D jvis family The house is a neat home, nestled in a of beautiful shade trees, back from the main road The surroundings bespeak prosperity, contentment and happiness, and the visitor finds that such is the case Five years ago, Mr Davis was picked up as Master Farmer of Polk county, and he has retained that title ever since. Amonc the reason for this fine re­ cord is his love for gardening. He and his wife both get a thrill out of keeping their garden right up to perfection at all times and also in producing unusual crops They ex periment Inplowingand cultivat ing his garden he has tried various methods and has worked out a plan, which increases yields and matures crops much more rapidly. He has carefully selected his garden setd. Due to such rare, he is saving money and also worked out methods of preventing tomato blight. He has also worked out methods of prevent ing tomato blight. He has actually produced a tomato, weighing six pounds. Selective planting and proper fertilization and preventing of rot and insect damage have spell­ ed success for this farmer. He has specializad in the growing of strawberries and has produced berries as large as a hen’s egg with excellent flavor. He grows several crops of berries, so that his produc tion peried is quite extended. Let­ tuce is another crop in which he has learned a great deal. He raises all kinds of fruits, such as peaches, cherries, grapes and strawberries. His corn is, so far however, his ma­ jor pride. During the past two successive years he has been warded silver cup3 for being the outstanding corn grower of his county. Mr. Davis is the real canning ex­ pert of the pair. She puts up hund reds of cans of fruit and vegetables, using a pressure'cooker or canner. The Davis family has led the way in Polk county, a section not so well- known as an agricultural leader a- mony North Carolina counties. For Meditation.

Iu 70 years there has been no Republican vice-president renom­ inated and none even has been re­ elected. ' To The Young Republi­ cans of Davie County. Farmington, N. C. Jnlv 6, 1931 The enthusiastic-.young Republi­ can Conference held in Washing­ ton in Juue was a decided success. I wish eveiy young Republican could have been there and found out “Where We Are” aud "What We Are Doing.” As about half of the nation’s voting strength is with the youth of the nation, the Ieadeis cailtd a National Convention of young Republicans to give a start in or­ ganizing the youth for the support of the 1932 campaign. The meetings were held in the hall room of the Willard Hotel with Robt. H Lucas as director. Mr. Lucas is the executive director of Republicau National Committee. Thursday moming the delegates registered and were given badges which we were all proud to wear. A small Lincoln Memorial with a tiny elephant. The first session was opened with address of wel­ come by Walter Brown Post Master General of U. S. Senator Fess was the next speak­ er his subject being “Seventy Years of Progress.” He said, fourteen times out of eighteen the Republicans were victorious.” “Our party has a long and glorious history behind, and yet it remains youthful in its dynamic vigor and gives promise of sustained vitality for generations to come.” Another interesting talk was by Senator Fee of Calif., giving an outline of President Hoover’s life. One of the most interesting meet­ ings was the discussion by the young leaders of different states. Auy youiig voter could not help but be thrilled and enthused. Other prominent speakers during the convention were Mrs. Edward Everette Gann, sister of vice pres. Curtis Arthur Hyde, Sec. of Agri­ culture, Robert Taft, son of the late Chief Justice, Pat HuileylSec. War. I must not forget the visit to the White House to meet the Pre­ sident and Mrs. Hoover. I wish it was possible to describe our great leader, Pres Hoover just as he is The Human President.” The Convention closed Ftiday night with a dinner for the confer­ ence under the auspices of th« Young Republicansof Washington. With a quotation from Pat Hut* ley’s address al the dinner, I close aud hope every Young Republican will be able to attend the next Conference. OUr great leader President Hoover, has labored tirelessly with all the great skill and intelligence that a life time of preparation for such tasks has given him. He has cushioned the fall resulting from a great economic depression. We are proud of him, proud of our party. LEONA GRAHAM. Maxwell May Run. Raleigh, July 7.—Revenue Com­ missioner A. J. Maxwell’s serious threat to become a candidate for governor and even later news than that from Greensboro that Audrey L. Brooks thinks far more of the governorship than of the United States senate, complicates a gover­ norship race which mystifie -5 every­ body wTfo is trying to woik out the meaning of this nth month apathy. Two years ago it seemed certain that General A. L. Cox would of­ fer for tlie nomination, but there is not the slightest prospect of such an entry. Lieut.-Gov.

IN ADVANCE $ I 00 S SO Evangelist Mott has come and gone, but the devil is still on the job and is putting in double time trying to counteract the good work done by the preachers and the Christian people of the town and county during the meeting which came to a close recently. Banking is a good business. There seems to be money in hand­ ling the other fellow’s money. If your bank balance gets oelow the $50 level during the month, the bankers extract 50 cents from you. If y o u r bank balance remains above $50 during the monih the bank doesn’t give you 5° cents per month interest on same, but loans your balance to the other fellow and keeps the interest for them* selves. This is a good business proposition—tor the bankers. Some of our business men seem to be under the impression that the Republicans of Davie county neitli er buy automobiles, or automobile tires and groceries, or iu fact spend any money for anything. One of these days they are going to wake up and find that the Republicans have at least a few dollars, and that they are going to spend these dollars with people who appreciate their business. If certain merchants think that all Republican money is tainted, then the Republicans will have to have their money sterilized or hunt people who are not atraid to handle it. The democrats promised the voters last fall that if a democratic ticket was elected taxes would be reduced in 1931. Did they mean what they preached? The Repu­ blican county commissioners went out of office in 1930 and have noth ing whatever to do with making the tax rate this year. Ignorance will sometimes excuse, but even a Foreigner knows that the Republi­ cans have nothing to do with mak ing out a budget this year or set­ ting the tax rate. The boys pro mised last year that our taxes would be reduced this year. Have they fell down on the job and ashamed to admit it? With this issue The Record starts on its 33rd year, having been established in 1899. During the past 24 years the present editor and owner has been laboring both early and late to send out a weekly newspaper that would be a credit to the town and county in which it wais printed. We have made many mistakes and will make many mare it we are permitted to live and edit this paper.

We feel sure that the people in this section will continue to stand by us in the future as they have in the past.

Now r'gbthere is where the joker comes in. Tue last legisla­ ture did pass an act giving the county commissioners authority to postpone the sale of land for taxes until the first Monday in Novem­ ber. That was fine. The idea was to let the farmer market his cottou. tobacco and corn this fall, and then settle bis taxes But the Davie county commissioners didn't seem ' to think that the farmers needed to market another crop before paying tbelr taxes Jt is true that they postponed the sale of lands for t xes from the first Monday in June until the first Monday in Septem­ ber, but we would like for some one to tell us what good this will do the farmers? They will have no more money in August to pay taxes than they had tn May, and their land will have to be advertised, with the added costs to pay, before they pick a boll of cotton or cure a leaf of tobacco. We believe the commis­ sioners are making a serious mis­ take and we told them so two months ago. If they do not-listen now the people will speak'out next year in no un:ertain terms and let them know just what they think a- bout this mammoth mistake. The legislature is not to be criticised for the act they passed. It was one of the best things they did while in Raleigh. They could not force the various county commissioners to wait until November to sell land for taxes, but gave them this authority, feeling sure that the various boards of commissioners would do everything possible for the taxpayers who were unable to pay tbeir taxes before harvesting a nother crop. It is up to the Davie commissioners. The Record is not trying to dictate to these gentlemen, because we did not help to elect them, but we are expressing to them wbat- our subscribers think about the matter, regardless of po litical affiliations. DEMS FIX TAX RATES. The board of county com­ missioners are in session a- gain today, wrestling with the budget proposition. T h e board met Monday and Tues­ day, and all of the time has been taken up considering the budget for the fiscal year. No other business of import­ ance is before the board.—- Salisbury Post. Rowan county had a Re­ publican board of commiss­ ioners for two years previous to last December, when the newly elected Democratic board took charge. The new board was busy last week wrestling with the budget, according to the Post, a de­ mocratic newspaper. The democrats in Rowan are not claiming, as they are in Da­ vie, that -the Republican board that went out of of­ fice last year, is fixing the budget in Rowan this sum­ mer and making the tax rate. The democrats in Row­ an know, as they do in Da­ vie, that the Republicans have nothing to do with fix­ ing the 1931 tax rate. The levy for 1930 taxes was made by a Republican board in Davie, as was the case in Rowan, but they are honest and fair enough to take the respons’bility in Rowan for the 1931 rate being fixed now by the democratic mem­ bers of the board. The democratic county commis­ sioners who were elected in Rowan last November, have reduced the tax rate 28 cents in that county. We wonder if the Davie Foreigner will claim that the old Republican board of commissioners who went out office in Rowan last December, fixed the 1931 tax rate in that county. Bearcats Win. The Bearcats won over Cornazer Saturday July 11 by a score of 14 3 Q Robertson pitched for the Bear cats and was hit very lightly. He was in trouble only once when in the 4th inning the bases were drunk with nobody down and two runs were tallied before the side ’ was re tired. Walter Nail and “Pip” Jones pitched for Cornatzer and was hit very hard. At Hartman, W. A. Bailey, and Jjt Mock led in bitting with . three e«h, while Fred Jones led hitting for Corna1 zer with along dounble Don’t be the next to get injured, but the next to prevent an injury. In Line For Salisbury Postmastership. Nine candidates for the Salisbury postmastersh'p to succeed the late James H. Ramsey, have been eli minated by the examination put up by the Civil Service Commission. The three named'as eligible for appointment are P. N Peacock, former Rowan county auditor; W. H Hobson, who for a short time served as postmaster under presi­ dent Taft and W. L. Ross, at pres­ ent assistant postmaster. The Rowan county Republican Executive Committee will meet shortly and eudorse one of these men for appointment who will in turn receive the endorsement of the Republican State organization. Since the death of Mr. Ramsay, Attorney R. 0. Jennings has been acting postmaster but as be failed to get on the eligible list, his name will not be considered for appoint ment. Ball Team Organized. A meeting of the members of the Pino and Farmington baseball teams was held at the Farmington Masonic Hall. Wednesday evening July 1. The purpose of the meet­ ing was to combine the two clubs into stronger organization. Tbe meeting was spirited and interest­ ing and resulted in the election of J. H. Foster, Farmington merch ant, to manage the new club while Paul Leagans was elected to' cap­ tain the team. The first game to' be played by this new new club was against Ad vance. The game was played at Advance, Saturday July 4. The contest proved to be one-sided throughout, many errors checking the attacks of Adyance while the visitors held a better type of play. Farmington played a good brand of ball while the Advance boys ap­ peared to be unable to make their efforts register in many cases. Farriiingtoh connected for 14 hits while the opponents were securing 4. Sain, Farmington hit for thy circuit in the fourth inning with two oases accupied. A hit and run affair was staged in fifth netting Farmington 8 runs. The game ended with Farmington leading Advance with the score 17 and 5.

The Record is going to print some startling facts in the near, fu­ ture. Among other things we are going to print the name of the most unpopular Republican in Mocks- ville—the name of the Republican who received the smallest vote ever given a man on the Republican ticket, together with the name of the man who got the largest vote even given a Republican in Davie. The name of the biggest politician in the county, together with the name of the biggest liar in the county will also be printed Some facts about the lives of some qffice- holdeis—both democrat and Repu­ blicans—will be published.

Kutfees, of Jerusalem township, reports a fine wheat yield on 5^ acres of land This laud produced 273^ bushels, making an average of 49J2 bushels to the acre. This was fine wheat and weighed about 64 pounds to the bushel. Mr. Kurfees threshed 636 bushels of wheat on his farm, not including his rye and oats. Field Day Tomorrow. The 27th Annual Field Day will be held at the Piedmont Experi ment Statation near Statesville to­ morrow, July t6th, beginning at 10 o'clock. An interesting program has been arranged for this big event and all farmers and their wives are urged to be present. Mr. J. W. Hendricks, a Davie county young man, has charge of this ex­ periment farm. In the afternoon there will be -many contests, to gether with many exhibits. A day at this farm will be well worth your time.\ Beware of Fakirs. It has been but a few years since the people of Davie county lost thousands of hard earned dollats by purchasing stocks in Bailey Brothers, Paul Rubber Co., Chero’ Cola and other stocks—about $200 - 000 or more being invested and all lost. When a prosperous looking man or woman calls on you with some excellent stock in an out-of- the county enterprise, tell the seller to call around in about ten years Never invest your money in stocks without consulting your local bank­ ers or your lawyer. Good stocks- and bonds do not have to be ped­ dled like country produce, from house to house. If the stocks are good the city in which the enter­ prise is located, will not give the out sider a chance to/ get in on the ground floor. Remember ■ whai happened to the las: stock you bought and be careful. Smith Grove Victors In a most interesting and friendly game the Smith Grove baseball team defeated the Mocksville club on the formers grounds Saturday afternoon 5 to 0. It was a pitchers battle be tween Joe Foster of the winners and Tutterow for Mocksville the firs- seven innings, .Smith Grove scoring 1 run in the second frame on an er ror. In the eighth, however, a cou­ ple hits added to some costly errors gave Smith Grove a larger lead. The Smith Grove boys secured only 5 hits off Tutterow ,and Howard but made them count while the locals made 7 safeties but they were widely- scat tered hits allowing no scores Both teams have been shut out only one time this season and in each instance it was administered bv the other ThetiewilIoeplayedoff at Mocks ville in the near future and promises to be a real game Watch for an- noucement and don’t miss it. The locals will meet Cana on the home grounds next Saturday after­ noon and a good attendance of loyal supporters Is expected.

Treat The Railroads Fairly. “It does not take people long to forgit favors” says the Oklahoma City Courier, .“so they have forgot ten days when the headlight of an engine was a star of hope. When it threw its first beam across the prairies the pioneer know that he was no longer alone. The engine cut down the distance that separat ed him from the old home and his fellowmen.. It carried former joys to his door and gave him markets that doubled the value of his crops. It meant more companionship and increase value for his possessions. It delivered books for the children, seed for his fields, papers for the long prairie nights and people to make a city within reach of his farms. The railroad was the key that opened the door of opportunity at the same time. What would we have been if.we had. like Mexico, revolutions instead of railroad. A child could answer that question. “Now we forget and so the pave­ ments built with our money that the railroads helped us to make, used to drive our old oenefactor to the wail. .Weshakeourfistinthe face of the headlight We suffer discom fort rather than accept his plans to safisfv our desire to travel at ease Wesee in our progress a menace and in his expansion a curse. He can do nothing without a fight and an unfair one at that. "Let us think back to the days when we needed the railroads and the railroads come. If we cannot be grateful, let us at least be fair. Fairness is a little thing, but an old friend would be glad to have it.” Stanly Sheriffs Case To Higher Court. The Stale Supreme Court, which is composed of five TTemocrats1 is going to be given an opportunity to pass on the legality of the claim of T. F. Crisco, Democrat, to the of­ fice of sheriff of Stauly county. Sheriff N A. Cooper, Republi can, who was elected in November 1930 was denied the certificate and appealed"to the courts to give him his office but on an alleged techni­ cality the Democratic judge threw his case out of court,but Cooper has now appealed to the Supreme Court and it remains to be seen whether he will get justice there or not. Should Be. In South America a president doesn’t bother much about ,getting away fora rest and recreation- He’s pretty well satisfied if he is just gets away. —Boston Herald, Stack Tells Them. JudgeStacksaida few days, ago that the abuses of the people and pardoning privileges in North Caro­ lina are demoraliz'ng the country and. undermining the effects of our courts. Since we have been inflict­ ed with an Executive Counsel. Par­ don Commissioner or “Bevo” Gover nor, the pardon and parole mill has been running overtime and many criminals have been turned loose cn the state today that should be behind the bars. Judges have been known to complain bitterly in the way their judgments have been upset by the powers higher up and other court officers have become discouraged when freedom has been granted to a convicted felon after a hard fight and the man getting every possible benefit of money, influence, poli ical pull and other things, to save him from prison. The “Bevo” Governor should parole or pardon no one un­ less the presiding judge, the solicitor the sheriff 6t the county and the county and the chairman of the board of commissioners recrmmend- it. It was never intended for one man to have as much power as the North Carolina “Bevo” Governor, or Executi e Counsel possesses to­ day.—Union Republican. “Has your baby learned ,,to walk?” "Heavens no!

Bv owning and operating its pub­ lic utilities, Chanute Kansas, will) a population of 11,000 people b.-is becomee a taxless city, the largest iu the country to achieve such a record. The city owns its gas water and electric light piant and the profits from these utilities go to the up­ keep of the municipality and the residents are not called upon for any taxes. Public ownership of the gas and water plant has been in effect 30 years and three plants represent a tatol investment of $1,- 266,256 and only against the water plant is there a bonded indebted­ ness, this amountiug to #161,473 Another thing about Chanute the gas, water and electric light charges are rated the lowest in the Middle West. Money made from the operation of these improvements has been wisely spent, including the erection of a memorial auditorium costing ^375.ooo a municipal airport built at a cost 0; $75,000. Many of the smaller towns in North Carolina during the past few years have sold their valuable plants or rather given away their franchise to the power trust and some of them are already regretting the step They were, however, warn­ ed and if they have made a hard bargain they will have to stick it out. There could be many more Chanutes'in this country if the right kind of officials were placed in charge of the municipalities. The worst thing that can happen to a small towu or city is to allow a bunch of politicians get in charge of the government. They leave it in bad shape when they are finally voted out but in many *tases the newcomers are as bad as tbeir pre­ decessors, just onother animal of the same brand with a new coat of fur.—Ex. Will Write Wet’s Obi- tuary. Portland, MS, July 13 —Clinton N. Howard, chairman of the Na­ tional United Committee for Law Enforcement, said in an address heie last night that “no national party can win the presidential elec­ tion that sidesteps ou prohibition and permits the speakeasy, the bootlegger, the rum runner and the racketeer to become a reconized and organized substitute for the saloon.” He declared that any candidate for the presidency who stands for nullification or any form of modi­ fication of the Volstead law was headed for certain defeat. “The dry south will write the obituary of a wet Democratic can­ didate,” he said, “and the drys of the north who supported the Re­ publican party in 1928 will perform the functions of political undertaker for any compromise candidate of­ fered oy that party in the presi­ dential election as they did when that party adopted a repeal plat­ form in the last election in New York. '“We can not sutvive if we boot­ leg the constitution. We can not build this republic on a rock that leaks. ^We cannot preserve America in alcohol,” he concluded Sheriff Cooper Given Government Job. Sheriff Noah - A. Cooper, of Stanly county, who was deprived of his office at the last electiou due to Democratic rascality has been appointed a member of the prohi bition enforcement service for the middle district of North Carolina It is presumed that his headquart­ ers will be at Albemarle. Po you take The Recorcl ? Goods Box Whittier. (By J. F. Oick, Hickorv, N. C ) We had a pleasant surprise Sun day when my half brother, Mnx Deadmon and family of good old Davie county drove up and came in. It was joyous. Aud think of the dinner they brought—good old country ham aud other good coun­ try eats, that many of we town folks can’t afford. He and I are the only two living out of a family of 2D. And he lives on the farn> and in the same house we all were born. And the same clock is run niug on the fsme mantle that was running there when I was born nearly 8 4 years ago, and will be December 6th, next; and it has the same click in it. I will give your readers our family puzzle and see if they can unravel it: There were three parental mar­ riage in our family, but only two husbands and wives, and only two fathers aud mothers. There were 20 children in all, 10 boys and 10 girls. While thev were all born in the same house recognized each other as brothers and sisters, yet the first six and the last eleven were no blood kin to the first six as we were to Ihe last 11. Four of the 20 died in infancy; 16 lived to be grown, aud S married aud had families. I was my mother’s first, aud my father’s last son, yet I bad three brothers older than I. I was the seventh, the first aud will be the 19th or 20th of a family of 20 children-. My first five siste-s were Click girls, and my last five sisters were Deadman. Now un­ ravel it. 300 Convicts Set Free. County convicts who were serv­ ing less than 30 day sentences who could not be taken over by the State Highway Commission on July I , were turned loose by order of Governor Gardner. Approxi­ mately 300 convicts iu camps all over the state were supposed to have been given their liberty July 1. “The question of what to do with these pretty offenders has giv­ en me considerable concern,” Gov­ ernor Gardner's statement said. “Under the !aw, no prisoner serv ing less than a 60 day sentence can be turned over to the State High­ way Commission to be worked in maintaining county roads. “Iu view of the fact that almost all of them will have only from five days up to less than a month to serve, and iu view of the fact that counties have no effective way of working these men, I have decided, after communication with county authorities, that it would be wise to give them a chance to return to productive work rather than to con fine them for the remaining days of their terms in county jails at dead expense to the public, and I have so notified county authorities. Locking The Stable Door Trade is the life blo.od of the home cottimunity. Stop the trade that comes to the local stores and business houses and one by one they will close up and their owners move away. Stop any part of trade by sending out of towu and every business iu the town is affected to a proportionate degree. There used to be an old saying that it does not do any good to lock the stable after tbe horse is stolen. It is likewise true today that it does not do any good to bemoan the fact that the business of a community is not what is used to be aud the business houses are beginuiug to have that “run down” appearance, as long as any considerable number of the people of the town are sending their money out of town. When a town institution closes its doors it is a calamity to the towu, but its closing can not be laid at the dcor of the man who has spent bis money a.t home,i ffioney, Why BackTi) Normals? Almost every article, speech and ;ven conversation sooner or later •ieems to get around to some such expressions as to when things get 'wck to normal, such and such ihould happen.” What is this thing called “normal?” And how do we know when it existed and when we may expect to reach it again? Average, yes we can figure aver iges over the five years '24 to ’20 ir any other-arbituary periods, 01 ve can t^ke “ore-war” as a basir tor discussion—‘but what good doe,- 1 hat do now? And what harm? Would it be sane to call ’28 or 28 normal? Manifestly not Ot ’30'31? God forbid! Well, if these ire abnormal or subnormal, whal license is there to take any period of years and call them by lh:i- neaningless name of normal? Isn’t it just barely possible that ;very year, every period, yes, cverv month is normal for that particular lime and condition of the public mind? From ’23 to ’29 the normal state of mind ot Americans and most of the world was to believe that to morrow would be better than today and consequently to discontinue the future—to plan new things 10 do—uew enterprises—greater ex­ pansion — wider markets. Now the public mind is scared stiff. Then, we spent a dollar, with faith we’d have another and maybe two, tomorrow. Now we hang on to nickels for fear -Ihty'U becon-e pennies. But why isn’t this condition nor­ mal? Europeau, particularly the Scotch' aud French have had aprac tice frugality for years. How do we know America has not reached the stage of development where prodigal spendiud is a thing of the past? Wecutdowu out forests—and spent them. VVe opened new land —and spent it. We found gold, silver, iron and oil—aud spent them We developed new industries 10 make up the saving in man power bv machines—aud spent aud spent and spent. Belter farming—jobs in the mills Better machines—jo’js in automo­ bile factories. Straight line pro­ duction—jobs as garage men cbauf fenrs. Radio absorbed ils share of man power. But what next? Hasn’t man power to be absorbed back into existing industries? So why not think of the present situation as normal? Whv not stir the public mind to ambitious -projects within txisting industries themselves, promote tor all they’re worth, take men in with them? -J Have meu stopped thinking a- bout what they'd like to do? I ambition dead in this country of ours? Can’t we take ordinary busi­ ness rists any more? Haven't we auy “guts”? Of course, the future is a curtain difficult to peuelrate. But progress lies in desire to Denetrate it—indi­ vidual courage to brave hazards— fight for rewards. Normal? Today is normal for today. Tomorrow may just as well be abnormal as subnormal compared with today. It will not be bet>er unless every man back of us wants to make it better, tries to do more and has faith and courage of his desires. It is contended by some thinkers that we have sold out our independ­ ence for money. In the old davs we did not need so much money. When we journey from one town to an­ other we drove a team. We not only took feed for the horses but carried our iunch with us. We tied the horses under a tree beside the road ; and ate our Iunch while the horses I rested.

President Hoover said, “We can not legislate ourselves out of a world economic depression. ” This is un- doubly a truihful statement yet there are many political demago gues who sesm to think that all ihat is needed is to have Congress in session again. They appear to feel that a generous distribution ol doles and bonuses from an already depleasury would solve the depres sion. But they might take a look across the big pond where, Eng­ land has been-for sometime trying to legislate against unemployment and deptessiou and continues to butt her head against a stone wall Is Euglaiid getting along righl?

Tn seek shelter under an oak tree d iring thunder storm is almost as dangerous as to search for gasoline with a lighted match. Of all trees, the oak is most susceptible to lightn­ ing. So says a bulletin issued by Tree Surgery institute which has b jen studing the phenomena of lightning in relation to trees. If you must get under a tree, find find a beech, for it is rarely ever the victim of IiRhtninR. The ratio of the oak to the beach in being struck ay an electrical bolt is 60 to I, ac­ cording to observations made over a jeriod of years. The roots of a tree tap the electri­ cal field of the ground. When a storm cloud is overhead the positive electricity in it, is attracted by the negative electricity in the earth, and lightning follows. "Trees, Buch as the oak, which have a large root area naturally have larger electrical fields than others. Olks also have "tap” roots, which go far into the ground and bring up large quantities of water to the tree, which serves as another attraction for electrical bolts. The best advice of the tree sur­ gery institute is to avoid trees al­ together when lightninfr is a work, as it wou'd be somewhat difficult for the laymen to make a scientific se­ lection in time of emergency Better to keep in the open spaces, if no house is near, and get thorougly wet than to offer yourself as a target for lighning, Picnic Committee For 1931.

IN ADVANCE - $ 50 The Record isn't trying to dictate the policies of business houses or individuals in this section, and we don’t propose for any big man or little two-by-nothing to dictate the policies of this rag of freedom. There is some question as to who is the biggest liar—the fellow who teaches that the Bible is a myth, or the fellow who says that the old board of Republican commissioners are fixing the 1931 tax rate in Davie county. The price of wheat is the cheap­ est it has been in thiity years or more. In 1S93 we could purchase flour at $1 60 per bag of 98 pounds. Last week we paid at the rate of $3 20 per 98 pound bag of flour. Can you figure this out. President Hoover received the largest vote ever given a Republi­ can in Davie county—2.945- The Davie county Republican receiving the largest vote ever given on the count} ticket, was R. H. Lagle, coroner, who received 2.718 votes Up to this good hour there are a- bout a half dozen democrats who are wanting to run against Senator Cam Morrison. Well, let the good work go on. We are hoping that a Republican will defeat' the democratic candidate—whoever he may be. In the confusion of heated weath­ er and politics our people should remember that the Masonic picnic is but three weeks-off. Let’s get busy and forget our political differ­ ences and make this the biggest and best picnic ever held in Davie county. There are a few Republicans in Davie couuty who have money to spend. It is none of our business where they spend it, but we would shggest that it would pay them to trade with the merchants who ap­ preciate their business enough to ask for it through the columns of The Record. The blackberry crop is going fast. The merchants have raised the price of sugar at the wiong time. If some of the half thousand subscribers who are due us would send in theii renewals this week there would yet be time for us to devour a tew more pies. Send in your frog skins quick What Will The Answer Be? Listen to this dispatch from Ra­ leigh: “The taxpayers in the state will this vear get a net tax reduc­ tion of $12,167,849 below what they paid in 1930 for schools and roads alone as a result of the new school and road legislation passed by the 1931 General Assembly, ac­ cording to the State Tax Commis­ sion In terms of tax rate, this means that there will be an average reduction for all the comities of 41 cents this year.” Well, Davie’s tax rate last year was $1.13. If we take off 41 cents that leaves a rate of 72 cents. Our county com missioners, who were elected last fall, promised to abolish the office of county treasurer, the welfare office and the county auditor or manager. They changed the name of the treasurer to financial or some other kind of agent, and kicked Mrs. Queen Bess Kennen but of office, along with J. S Daniel. They claimed to have saved the county several thousand dollars monthly as a result of this abolish­ ing. Taking their own figures, they should be able to cut off 22 cents on the $roo as a result of all this economy, which would mean a tax rate of 50 cents on the $100 If your tax rate is higher than 50 cents for the year 1931 you might ask the Foreigner to explain the whys and wherefores. The coun­ ty commissioners doesn’t deserve and will not get any credit for the 4t cent reduction in countv taxes that was taken off by the last legis­ lature taking oyer all our roads and schools. If the board can re duce the rate below the 72 cents on the $100, then they should and will get credit for saving the tax­ payers some money. Don’t Wan’t Office. There is a general rumor that I am an applicant for the position of Postmaster at Mocksville. I am not an applicant; therefore, I did not take the examination which was held last Saturday. G. L. POTTS. Will wonders never cease? We read in a democratic daily paper last week that George Pou had re­ signed as superintendent of the State prison at Raleigh, and that the prison board refused to accept his resignation and re-elected him. Ye gods and little fishes. If the board had. accepted the resignation of George we can’t imagine what would have been the result. This is a funny world. Once in a while we write a nice article a- bout some man or business house in the town or county. Not once in a hundred times do we ever get any thanks. But let us write even a little article that doesn't set well with the firm or individual and the paper isn't hardly in the postoffice before we are visited by an indig­ nant citizen. Running a newspaper, is a hard proposition. Davie county going democratic last fall had nothing to do with the amount received by Confederate soldiers or widows. Tbe taxpayers of North Carolina have to pay tb<*se pensions out of the state funds, which are paid by both democrats and Republicans. If we are not mistaken the Davie pension board is composed of both democrats and Republicans. The Republican par ty in North Carolina has always favored larger pensions for old soldiers. Some people try to drag everything into politics. Kills Rowan Sheriff. Salisbury, July 16.—Scott Win­ ders, a shell-shocked veteran of the World War, whose threats to “shoot, up the town” frightened his wife into calling for aid, today shot and killed Sheriff Locke' Mc­ Kenzie of Rowan county.

Knoxville, Tenn , July 16, 1931 The Davie Record, Mocksville. N. C. Dear Sir:—Find enclosed twe dol lars, subscription for the paper "from home ” I enjoy reading The Davie Record—it is a letter from home. Occasionally I am made sad when I read an account of some death there. Sometimes it’s a relative, an acquaintance or a friend that I knew when I practiced in Davie county years ago. I feel that I am indebted to lots of friends there, for their patronage in helping me in my work, both in' helping me through the coUegi s and helping me "buy bread ” Since I practiced in nearly every nook and corner in Davie county, travelling with horse and buggy. I have had the good fortune several times; since living in Knoxville, to cover practically all that territory in a nice car. viewing the good roads pretty farm homes and fine country. Early in June, with a friend, we visited my old home, brothers, rela­ tives and friends in Winston-Salem for a few days, but we didn’t see any place that surpassed the “old home” and Davie county. But I must say that. Knoxville, Tenn.. is a good place to live. Ihave practiced here over twelve years, battling in the “Hoover Panic.” but if my friend Mr. Stroud will excuse me. I think business will be mu> h better when we elect Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt for President in 1932 !.Good wishes to everybody. Dr. H. F. BAITY. Davie Loses Eight Schools.

The State of North Carolina ended the 1929 31 biennium on June 31 with a deficit of $2 230.- 064, due to decrease in collection of revenue, according to a state ruent issued by the Budget Bureau The deficit is in contrast with a surplus of $1,403,583 on June 30, 1927. and $2 121.079 on June 30. 1929 It previously had heen esti­ mated the present deficit would be $1,224,151. Finances ot the state would have been even more depleted had it not been for a 20 per cent horizontal slash in appropriations last year by Governor Gardner and the Advis­ ory Budget Commission. The budget memorandum speci­ fied outstanding uncollected taxes of various levies. Revenue drop ped $86,775 below estimates for the 1929 30 fiscal year and $3,392,190 for the year 1930-31. 0 .

Witnesses said it was not five minutes later that her husband again crawled into her car while she was trying to gdt away and she re sented this so much that another fight was about to commence, it was thought, when officer Crrven. seeing he needed assistance, looked into the crowd of spectators and deputized Dr. Booe to assist him in subduing the irate waman Wnen Dr. Booe took hold of Mrs. Brown’s wrist, she promptly bit him on the arm, tearing his shirt sleeve, and at the same time fighting the officer off by- kicking furiously, it was said, fhe officer was finally able to subdue the woman who went before ’Squire Caudell again and was given a ten- dav jail sentence and to pay all the costs Her attorney, A. T Grant, immediately gave notice of appeai and she put up a $25 cash bond and was again freed. It is understood that her husband is seeking a peace warrant for her. AU the excitement took place on the square during the busy hours Saturday afternoon and a big crowd of spectators watched proceedings. No one seems to know who will be Mocksville’s new postmaster..

He was also a Revolutionary soldier, and with his devoted friends, John Burnley, was with Gfeene at Guilford Court House. They were mess mates, and the night before battle sat taking over the pending fight. Davenport seemed very much depressed, stat­ ing he had a premonition that he would be killed in the battle His friend tried in every way to divert him, but no avail, and finally in a joking mannner, told him that in the event he should be killed, he, Burnley, would go back to Virginia after the was over and marry Lucy. The next day found John Davenport among the mortally wounded. When the battle was over, bis good friend hastened to his aid, and found the skulker already stripping him of his tilver keee buckles. He lived only a few hours, and his last request was that Burnley should make good his promise to marry bis wife as soon as the war was over. That this pledge was kept, we have the word of one of his worthy descendants. Negroes Oppose Amos Andy. Danville, Va , negroes have taken up the protest which is being made on the subject of Amos ’n Andy which has been raging in the radio magazines for nearly a year. J. C. Carter, for many years a negro member of the Danville bar, has st t forth the bases of objections voiced by Danville negroes taking issue with.a Danville newspaper that the antics of the radio performers re­ present two negroes rather than the race as a whole. '-,“If,” he writes, ‘the purpose is not to make light of the negro race and hold it up for a laughing stock and to make it the butt of the jokes of every passer by, then what is the purposes? To foreigners who may get their first ideas of. the negro from Amos ’n Andy and those na­ tive-born Americans who rarely comes in consact with any consider­ able number of negroes but whose opinion are formed bv what they see on the screen or what comes over the radio; Amos and Andy do not represent two negroes only, but 15.000,000” That is the basis of the ol je ions to Amos and Andy which negroes are raising.” An Engineer has invented a meas­ uring device tbat is said to be exact to one-five millionth of an inch.

Paved Highway. North Carolina’s “ Main Street” Highway Route No. 10, stretching from the shores of the Atlantic ocean, in Carteret county, to the peaks of the Blue Ridge, in Chero­ kee county, will be completely paved every inch of the way and was opened to traffic Thursday, July 16. The short stretch of road be­ tween Old Fort and Mill Creek, in McDowell count) was the last link to be paved. Route No. 50 and No. 75, south of Saniord, were also opened to the public the past-Sunday. • But None of Tliem Quit There is a small sized army of parasites hanging around the cap- itol building, the different state buildings, aud other places con­ trolled by the state in Raleigh, drawing salaries all out of reason for the work they do. It is said that there is a boot- black, a sweeper or two and scores of messengers and lackv boys ready at the beck and call of the men in office in the capi'ol and there are so mauy of them that they are in each others wav. The members of the legislature saw these loafers when they were in session at Raleigh and passed an act cuttiug their salaries 20 per cent and immediately there was a howl from the other Raleighites like the butcher, the baker, the groceman and others, that this cut was unjust and must not stand. But did any of this crew quit? Not that anyone has heard of Had they thrown up their jobs there would have, been a dozen men standing ready to take each one of them. But there was such a hurrah made by these parasites and their friends that as soon as Governor Gardner came back to Raleigh from his/attendance on a boxing match in New Yotk, be immediat­ ely set the law of the legislature a- side and ordered these men back at their old wages with a cut of only 10 per cent. Great is our Governor who can make and break laws at will. Great is our State Highway Chairman who, in spite of the fact that the Legislature on three different and separate occasious turned town tlit bill to increase the highway patrol is going ahead, more than doubl ing these fancy state patrol riders. Wonder why Gardner didn’t re store the salaries paid these gentry during the World War and wondei why Jeffress didn’t name 100 fancy riders instead of additional 30? Garduer by restoring these sal­ aries has addided more the $73,000 annual to the broken backed tax­ payers and the amouut added by Jeffress in appointing these extra 30 mem will perhaps amount to more than $50,000 a year —Union Republican. Stokes Assistant Game Warden In Trouble. In the Stokes Superior court Fri day, T. L- Booth, assistant game warden and game refuge keeper was indicted by the grand jurj charged .with operating an autorno bile while:intoxicated. Booth was bound oyer to the next term ol court under a $500 bond. The case is the aftermath of an argument between Booth and Zeb Smith, fill­ ing {station operator which took place Thursday. Booth it is under­ stood wasn't sufficiently amused and came back that night looking for Smith but was taken in town by R. R. King' game warden who got him away from-the imminent scene of combat. BeingofiheDe ■nocratic persuasion it is presumed that he will be allowed to continue i 1 his job as assistant game warden —Ex. Caldwell Snake Hunter. One day the past week while re* turning to Lenoir from Edgemont, R. R Shuford, lineman for the Le­ noir Lenoir Telephone Co., killed three snakes and brought them to the city to prove his marksmanship'. One of the rattles had 13 rattles and a button showing that it was Hyears old, another rattler bad 7 rattles and a button, showing his age to be S years, and the third was a big cop perbead. .Shuford dispatched all three with a long pole. Corpse Rises From Cof- fip, Eats Funeral Feast. At Starsbougli, France, Ilie past week, Herr Riciien1 a machinist, went home drunk one afternoon and fell asleep on the kitchen floor. His wife, on returning from a visit, sent for a doctor who pronounced the man dead. Riclien was put into a coffin. On the following night after the wife had made arrangements foi her husoand's funeral and loaded the table with food and wine foi the wake, she shut up the house and went to a neighbor’s, expect ing to return with the mourne-s at midnight. Befote she returned to the house- Riclien woke up, pulled himself out of the coffin, tieated himself to the food on the kitchen table, did full justice to the wine and left the house in an intoxicated condi tiou. After walking for awhile he again fell asleep, this time in the' gutter. A policeman woke him up, locked him in a cell and proceeded to Richeu’s home to venfv his statement. He found the house shut up. The neighbors told him that Richen had died the day be fore, and that the funeral would take place the next morning. Riclien’s wife was located. On opening the house she was dazed to find that her husband bad walk ed out of his coffin. Riclien was charged with drtiuk euuess, and he and his wife have to sue the doctor who certified him as dead. Poor Old Iredell. The tbrist for office never gets out of the system of a Democratic office holder once he has lined up at tbfc pie counter. In 1928, Ire­ dell people grew tired of the rule of Sheriff Alexander and turned him out of office electing a Republican in his stead. Sheriff Alexander has been like a fish out of water ever since but the reorganisation of the prison system by the last Legis­ lature tnade an opportunity to take care of several broken down Demo cratic pollicians and Sheriff Alex­ ander has landed into one of these with both feet. He is a director of prison camps in a district of 18 counties We presume there will be at least a dozen of these new offices to take care of Democratic henchmen.—Uuion Republican.

King Cotton StillonTop King cotton, like some other kings, is not so highly regarded as he was in days of old but he is not without power even now. The U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Econo­ mics says that cotton is the leading producer of cash incame for farm­ ers. It this respect cotton lint and seed produced 14 59 percent of the farmers’ cash income, wheat 7.89T corn 3 52 and truck crops 3.00. Livestock and other products of the farm amount to 48.56 per cent of the total cash receipts for the farms. There will always be a demand for cotton and of course a very large one but the trouble is they are raising it now in too many countries It used to be that the South had practically a monoply of 1 Iiis crop. Now cotton is grown in Russia, India, Egypt and other countries. If necessary the South could probably produce twenty-five million bales a year. Improved methods of farming have increased the yield of cotton just as it has the yield of other crops. Tcis ac counts partly for the overproduc tion The prespect does not look very bright for the Southern cot­ ton farmer, The fanner who thinks he can get all of his living out of a cotton field stands a good chance to be disappointed.—Ex. A Rather Drastic Re­ medy. The various suits and indictment against bank stockholders, directors and officers of banks in North Caro­ lina are hard upon the defeudeuts but the effect upon the banking business anil general business may be wholesome. We have m» doubt that a large majority of those who manage the banking institutions are honest and conscientious. Like the rest of us they have been through a trying time in the past two years. Some of the banks fail ures were due to flight the deposi­ tors and we unnece siry. There weie others though that were catis ed bv careless methods of belong and sometimes to positive' di®iin estv. The prosecution of bank’of- ficials will have, or should have, the effect of causing those who are in the banking business to obey the laws it should have a tendency to restote to confidence of the people iu banking institutions iu general. Banks ate absolutely essential for modern business. The well man aged ones should have the confi dence and suppoit of the people.— Ex. Philadelphia Bids For G. 0. P.

Farm Board Can’t Help The farm board can do nothing to boost the price of wheat. Chair­ man Stoue advises wheat growers, who have the embarrassment of a big wheat crop with a market price that is hardly worth considering. "There is no price to which wheat might fall that would persuade thi farm board to resume stabiliz.ition •mving.” says Mr. Slane. Last year’s experience in stabilizatic n b tying.has convinced of the futilitv of that adventure so-.- Iong advi - c tied as a sure remedy for fallii g prices. Stabilization could succeed, only by entering the market and b .lying for the full crop season which would require tnauv millions of dollars, more money than the board has, savs Mr. Stone. In other words Mr. Stone intimates that it would be necessary to buy near the whole crop to stabilize the price; and evidently there is so much doubt as to effective and per manerit stabilization that Mr. Stoni is glad that he can plead lack of funds. Holding as uiuch of the present crop off the market as possible and cutting the acreage In fdll is the only hope of a rise in price Mr. Stone can hold out to the wheat growers. Short selling has some­ thing to do with the price depres sion, Mr. Stone believes, but the suppression of that practice, if it can be suppressed, is for Congress, the farm board can do nothing a- bout it. In answer to the persist­ ent plea that the farni board as­ sure that none of the 2oq,ooo,oco bushels bought last year when the board w’rs trying to stabilize prices will be put on the market, the crn- teutiou being that such promie wou’.d hoist the price a bit, M*. Stone remiuds that the board bss sold but a small portion of its hold­ ings and has replaced that, which is in effect complying with the re­ quest. Mr. Stone explains that a mora­ torium for the benefit of the wheat farmers, or anybody, is for individ­ ual arrangement, seeing that the government has no authority to say what shall be done about private debts, nor has it anthority to direct bank policy. That explanation would hardly seem to be necessary, to intelligent people at least. Bnt when the government aid idea takes hold it carries the notion that the power of the government is unlimit­ ed.—Greensboro News. OLd papers for sale. Sues Reynolds Company One of the most unusual cases to ie filed in Superior court within the past several years was that of James j Comm, of East Bend, against the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco company of Winston Salem, where in the plain- iff asks damages in the sum of $10,- 000 the result of injury alleged 10 nave been sustained through the in­ cident in which the case is known as the “fish hook” case. The complaint, filed in Yadkin :ounty this w>>ek. grew out of the -iurchase of a plug of "Apple Sun- Jured” tobacco, it is said, wherein ■he purchaser, Mr. Corum, was re­ quired to seek the aid of a physi- :ian in orderjto obtain relief, accord­ ing to the complaint. Itis said that Mr. Curuin pur- :hased a plug of tobacco, alleged to have been manufactured by the de­ fendant company, and after the plug came in contact with a fish hook, onrported to have been about two inches in length. The plaintiff al eges lhat he was unable to remove .he hook from his lip, and secured ■he services of Dr C. W. Leak, of East Bend, who removed the hook from his month. Asa result of the incident, Mr. Corum alleges that he was given two vaccinations of tetanus antitoxin, and that later lock jaw developed, from which his jaws remained lock­ ed for three or four hours. Mr. Corum contends that he suffered pain, humiliation, and shame and that he has been in a “weakened and emancipated condition," and be­ lieves himself permanently injured. The allegation sets forth the con­ tentions that the defendant company nauufaclurers of the plug of tabac- •o in which the fish hook was said Io lave been fonnri, "did not use the iigh degree of care lequired in t*ie ifianutiiciure uf finds and other chewing products that enter the nouth ” The case will no doubl attract wide attention, in that it is most un­ usual in its nature. Attorney W. M; Allt n, of this city, is representing the plaintiff, and has in his posses­ sion the tobacco alleged to have manufactured bv the Reynolds com­ pany and in which was found the fish hook which penetrated the low- jr lip of the plaintiff, the ultimate result of which is said to have caus­ ed lockjaw and consequent suffering to Mr. Corutn.

So far as reported C. A. Koonts, of Tyro township, Davidson, holds the palm for wheat growuing in that county. He produced an average of forty-nine bushels per acre of weighed wheat 011 two and a quarter acres. A Davie county farmer, as re­ ported in The Sentinel recently, threshed a crop from five acres that measured forty-nine and one-half bushels to the acre and the same weighed sixty-five pounds to the bushel. A Guilford county farmer comes forward with the claim that he produced an average of fifty bushels on a small acreage.

The election of a United States senator is a very serious undertaking and every voter should be unmoved by any consideration other than fitness for the high office.

JULY ag. 1931 BANKERS SUGGEST BANKING REFORMS Economic Policy Commission of American Bankers Association Recommendls Aids to Prog­ ress in Banking Business. F OLLOWING a natfnn-wide survey ot banking confiitions and opinion among bankers, the Economic Policy Commission of the Amorican Banlcers Association has made the following recommendations for banking better­ ment:‘‘Under the category of improved bank management specific improve­ ments we might summarize are: •‘(1) Liquidation or consolidation of banks where changed local economic conditions render this desirable; "(2) "Wider affiliation among state banks with the Federal Reserve Sys­ tem;"(3) Development of limited branch banking where economic conditions and legal authority make this expedi­ ent; ”(4) A more general practice, espe­ cially lacking among country banks, to analyze the cost of carrying accounts and other operating details and the establishment of proper service charges to make all classes of function profit­ able; “(5) A more general application of the theory and practice of secondary reserves; "(6) Avoidance by banks of undue borrowing merely to increase their own profits by relending at higher rates, or to over*expand credit to local business in order to increase their own busi­ ness; “(7) Cooperation among bankers in local communities through city, county or regional clearinghouses so as to promote mutually beneficial conditions and practices;“(S) The insistence upon higher educational effort and Qualifications among employees, especially those to be trusted with executive duties. Legislative Measures Proposed “There are some external measures, along moderate legislative and super­ visory lines, that we also believe would help strengthen banking. Among these are: “(I) The broadening in the states of branch banking laws where condi­ tions warrant an extension of this type of banking service to tha public; "(2) The establishment of sound minimum capital funds under which banks will be allowed to operate, which should be materially higher than now prevails in most states; specifically, we believe that the minimum capital with which any new bank shall be chartered, whether state or national, should be at least $50,000; “(3) The provision of funds and regulations to keep the official staffs of all supervisory departments up to a level of ability and integrity that will universally inspire confidence among bankers whose activities they are empowered to review, and will sup­ ply real added defenses to the public interests they are appointed to protect. "(4) In connection with the policies of bank chartering departments, we would recommend that, even to a greater extent than is now the prac­ tice, the greatest care and moderation should be exercised in granting new charters, so as to guard against over­ banking or the launching of new banks by unqualified persons, which have doubtless been serious factors in the bank failure situation in the past. "(5) Also, referring to Federal Re­ serve practice not requiring legisla­ tion, we believe that the Federal Re­ serve Banks should exercise more free­ ly their rights to examine banks and use their discretionary power to refuse rediscount facilities to banks indulging in objectionable banking methods.” Banker-Farm er Plan An editorial in Southern Cultivator rays: “Favorable comment is being made upon the wisdom and promised results of the farmer-banker agricultu­ ral program iff Georgia. Industrial leaders and publicists, noting that 115 of the 161 counties in the state have pledged prosecution of the ‘live-at- home’ farm reform, are regarding the working out of the plan this year as of more interest to American farmers than any developments of the Soviet five-year plan in Russia. Agricultural actuaries are of the opinion that il Georgia farmers, backed by our coop­ erating bankers and supply men, dem­ onstrate the expected economies and profits of this home-support plan, it will quickly become a contagious cus­ tom all over the agricultural areas of the nation. It will be the writing of a new 'declaration of independence* lor the' individualist farmers of the coun­ try, putting them upon solid terms of credit and prosperity without need of PLANS TO BEAT UNEMPLOYMENT By ROME C. STEPHENSON President American Bankers Association S OME look upon unemployment as a social - or political problem. For them the remedy is compulsory accu­ mulation of re­ serve funds on t h e insurance principle through contribu tions from the govern­ ment, the employ­ ers, the employ­ ees or all three. That will n o t meet the present emergency, since these reserve funds have not been built up and it would take years to do so. At best this plan could only become effective at some indefinite time in the future as against the re­ turn of another catastrophe of general unemployment. Others look upon unem­ ployment as purely an economic prob­ lem, holding that the only fundamen­ tal preventive is in business stability. It may well be asked whether either of these cures—namely, the creation of unemployment insurance funds on the one hand or the maintenance of ever­ lasting business stability on the other —do not present in themselves bigger problems than the problems they seek to cure. However I am inclined to the belief that tiie more practical ap­ proach to the solution of such prob­ lems and the prevention of such situa­ tions as general unemployment pre­ sents is along the latter lines of eco­ nomic foresight rather than along lines of social legislation. to * R. C. STEPHENSON National Foresight Economic foresight is conceivable not only for the individual but for busi­ ness as a whole. Millions of indi­ viduals and virtually all lines of in­ dustry failed to practice it during the last stages of the recent prosperity. The public welfare of the United States demands that industry as a whole vigorously and sincerely devote itself to the development of plans of economic foresight, aimed to prevent repetitions of the present unemploy­ ment situation. The general outlines for such plans are clearly definable. They demand that industry adopt a long range viewpoint and lay out its production and distribution plans with the thought that it is far better to have a long period of good sound busi­ ness activity than a short period of frantically over-competitive endeavor. This would tend to lessen over-pro« duction .in various lines, to prevent over-expansion of plant capacity, to avoid over-stimulation of public buy­ ing and above all to avoid periods of slumps and stagnation following pe­ riods of over-stimulation with their disasters of unemployment. For business, too, there is a part in such a conception of economic fore­ sight. It should aim to cooperate with industry in its endeavor to avoid reck* less over-production, oyer-stocking and over-selling the public. In this picture of national economic prudence, banking and finance, too, have their place. Their effort should be to influence the use of credit and other financial facilities into channels of sound public economy consistent with the attitude I have already sketched for industry and trade. All finance, whether current commercial banking "or industrial investment banking, should seek by their influ­ ence in granting or witholding credit to stimulate and build up a balanced economic situation. The Individual Must Help Finally, the individual too has a place in any such plan of a sounder eco* nomic future for the United States. It is the duty of the individual- to make every effort to take care of him­ self and provide for himself. Neither government nor industry can do that for him. They can give him the op­ portunity to succeed but they can’t succeed for him. He must out of his own initiative and effort earn and create his own meaas and defenses against the requirements and contin« gencies of life. Individual determination to provide against sickness, accident and death by insurance before indulgences in extra comforts and luxuries are given place in the family budget, and indi­ vidual responsibility to guard against the contingency of unemployment by means of a sound program of thrift and savings are to my mind the true foundation of economic stability for „ the United States as a whole. A limestone spreader, owned by a bank in Illinois is rented out to farm- recourse to federal or state financial re-' [ ers for ten cents a ton, and also a lief measures. The man of the soil • who lives year in and year out ‘on his own’ will stand up in his community asj an economic freeman, making his ow: terms with the world of finance am trade.” A:-meeting of farmers, hankers, and newspaper, men ot St. Croix County, Wisconsin, recently organized a drive to promote the growing of alfalfa In such quantity as to save the dairy­ man the expense of commercial feed, ’.and insure greater dairy profits.

A man trained in the testing of soil, and in the making of soil maps was employed by. the bank. •The unit maps used covered: forty acres, on which 23 surface tests were made at mathematical points. At five other points three tests were made— surface, sub-surface, and sub-soli. The completed map showed, by varying shadings of red, the points which needed limestone. Arrangements were also made by the bank to ha7e lime stone shipped in in car lots for sak to farmers in any quantities need : Smith’s Defeat Seen By Barton. Ridprecrest1 July 16.—Dr. Arthur J. Barton, pastor of the Temple Bap­ tist church, WiImiDgton, and chair­ man of the commission on social ser­ vice of the Southern Baptist conven­ tion, predicted today in an inter­ view that Alfred E. Smith will a train be the democratic presidential nominee and that the results at the polls will be the same as in 1928. Dr Barton was at Ridgecrest to address the annual convention of North Carolina Sunday school lead ers, and in closing his address pre­ pared for that body stated that there would never be a president of the United States who favors whiskey. Asked to enlarge upon this state­ ment, Dr. Barton said, “the biggest bet of the wets is to elect a president of the United States, but they will never succeed ” He 3 clared that “no political par­ ty with a wet plank in its platform will have a ghost of a chance,” and that no wet candidate will ever get in sight of the White House.” Asked about Governor Franklin Roosevelt of New York, Dr. Barton said, "Governor Roosevelt would not be any more acceptable to the dry democrats than was Governor Smith. Djrmg the last campaign, Governor Roosevelt underwrote Governor Smith's wet platform and allied bimself thoroughly aith the liquor element. He belittled proht bition and belabored it as the source of all manner of evil In fact, in my judgment Governor Roosevelt will not be nominated. Undoubted­ ly RaBkob, the republican lessee, and manager of the democratic party, and Alfred E. Smith have it in their power to defeat Roosevelt’s nomina tion. My guest is they are deter mined to do so. Al Smith is much more likely to bs nominated tnan Franklin Roosevelt, but. neither he nor Roosevelt nor any wet candidate can hope to carry the solid demo cratic south. The fact that so many spates broke awav in 1928, makes it easier to do again, for i t ' has been demonstrated that a southern state can give its electorial vote to a repub­ lican presidential nominee and still live and get along in business.” Barton predicted the democratic party is doomed nationally unless the moral dry leadership of the south and west asserts itself, ur,- horses Tammany, writes the plat­ form and names the candidate. Questioned as to who would be ac ceptable to the dry democrats. Dr. Barton named William G McAdoo as the most likely to be elected il nominated. Bears Battle People of Virginia. Kalis Church, Va., July 20.— Two 350 pound Alaskan black bears and stveral score citizens cf this historic commuuity fought a two-hour battle on the main street today. The bears broke away from chains in the rear of the home of E. P. Makeley, an automobile deal er, who captured them iu Alaska. They ran wild through the streets. Women aud children fled to their homes. A group- of men obtained arms and chased the beasts. Oue bear ran to the yard of Dr J. T. D. Howard and attacked his cow. Dr. Howard, started, paused a minute, and then rushed out to the cow’s rescue. He was clawed severely before equally courageous neighbors drove the bear away with sticks. It ran through the main street and finally was driven into a garage and roped. Hoiner Sumpter, a garage work er, and E. C Carter, a telephone Iinemau, were injured in trying to capture the beast alive. Tbe_other bear approached the home of Clark Crossnian ou the main thoroughfare. Crossmau opei - ed fire with a shotgun and the animal retreated to a swamp ou the] outskirts ot the town. There it; was killed with a rifle bullet fired> by Paul Herrmau, deputy shiriff. l*he bears were believed by the townfolks to have been vicious by- the extreme heat. Last week one of them attacked Will Duom, an­ other garage employe, who since has beeu < n crutches MakeIev was not a home when the anifaals broke from their shackles. A liar is not fit to hold any kind ot a public office, either appoint­ ive or elective. — Why Not Hard Surface.
