Foster, of Greensboro, as a justice of the peace 011 charges of persecution and extortion in the prostitution of his office might sug gest to Governor Garner a policy that would make for a much more healthful condition in the state at large. This particular individual has b?en accused of usiug his office, hif power to summon deputies and hi? and his authority to issue warrants, in promotion of one of the very dead traps of blackmail. This pre cious crew would voyage around the city, find couples parked in automobiles and engrossed witli each other, and then bring the law into play for private ga'u. While it is very well for the Governor’s advisers to revoke oue magistrate’s license for one notor ious offense, that does not even touch the surface of a growing a- buse. There is no need tor magis trates. When the legislature or the Governor appoints them there is just so much fuel added to a fire of scandals that smell like a burning garbage dump. We have time and again call attention to this reckless placing of judical powers in the hands of men who are in 90 per cent of cases utterly ignorant, and in a majority of others corrupt as well. If the Governor has the power to revoke magistrates’ commissions, he should forthwith revoke them all under a blanket order. Then he would, indeed, resign all hopes of future political preferment, but he would do the state a real service. Cabarrus District Fair October 13-17.

What signs of vandalism meet vour eyes as' you pass beautiful school buildings in ,our wanderings about the s:ate ind find hundreds of panes of glass woken out of the windows and iiany oilier signs of depredation jiving evidence of the manner in which children are trained to ap preciate the efforts of tax payers to provide the best of physical equip ment for school purposes. “This is no criticism of any oue community. Destruction of school property is too general to be ap plied to any single town or village or hamlet or city. The amount of vandalism in connection with school property throughout the state is not only vastly expesive but over whelmingly distrissing. I am forced to ask the question, does it pay to build palatial school buildiugs in North Carolina? “ Law observance and thrift ought to compose about one-third of the curriculum in the public schools for the next io years. The school authorities may well consi der whether they are getting any where if it is impossible to create a sort of reverence in t fie minds of children for the beautiful buildings where they go to school. If it be true that the more we educate the more-wasteful and destructive we become, the future must be dark indeed “ This candition can be improved but it will not improve itself. The public must wake up and correct the evils.” Junior Order Meets At Morehead City. Charlotte, Aug. 20. —The 1932 convention of the North Carolina Junior Order United American Me chanics will be held iu Morehead City.

Reciprocation “Heard of an incident which oc curred last winter that is entirely too good not to pass along” says Editor Ashcraft in the Enquirer. ‘ Two kind hearted Mon.-oe ladies heard of a family 'way out in the country’ that was in distress—no food, no clothing, children in rags, etc , etc. The ladies loaded up their automobiles with clothing, food, not forgetting toys for the little ones The family was delighted with the presents from the kihd ladies from town, and were appreciative. “So appreciative were they that the mother of the household could do nothing other than reciprocate. She went out to her smoke house,, select the best ham from among a lot of others and insisted that the kind Iaidies accept it as a small token of appreciation.” When your son or daughter j leaves for college this tall send him j or her The Record.

Rutherford has just had !he an utial State Sheriff's Convention. It was an honor to town and county and we rejoice that they came here. We regret that some few of the Sheriffs saw fit to drink some whisky while in this couutv. We did not see even one who was drunk. We did see some, most from a long distance, who had had a drink or two. In street language, “some were pretty full.” These men have taken an oath to uphold the law of the State. They represented law aud order. Can they afford to drink, auytime, any place? Suppose their constituents back at home knew that their Sheriff came to the State Conven tion and got partly drunk. It is strange that some people thiuk because they are at a conven tion that' they are privileged to get drunk If a person drinks anav from home, they will drink at home, under certain conditions. We admit that we see some drinking at other conventions but were really surprised to find that some sheriffs will drink. We are glad to say that the majority weie sober, but some had to mar the occasion by drinkiug. If officers of the law and other leading citizens are going to drink what can we expect of the average citizen, especially those who aie inclined to love the “ booze?” People generally expect officers of the law to be law abiding them selves. AU officers should “prac lice what they preach.” One big trouble with law en foreement today is "higher-ups’1 violate the law and and exyects to get by with it, while the poor and ignorant are punished. Doubtless some of the few Sheriffs who appeared to be under the iiifleunce of whiskey during the convention in this county will ar rest some poor white man or negio in his county, before Satt r lay night with whiskey in his jos ess:on. How can he conscientiously do it? AU good citizens must stand to gether in suppressing this whiskey traffic. When a man buys, sells, makes or drinks strong drinks, he violates the law of both the state aud nation as well as Iiis Maker. Caldwell Abolishes Fish ing Licenses. -No more fisbiug licenses in Cald well couuty was the edict handed down by the board of commission ers, iu sessiou at Leuoir Monday, abolishing the $1 10 cotintylicense fee which has been in effect for sev eral years. Chairman Smith, in announcing the discontinuance of the county permit, said that the money was beiug sent out of the county and little or no benefit was being derived from it. It will be permissable to fish without a slate or couuty license provided the angler is a resident ot Caldwell county, the official said. Don’t They Advertise Either? The Monroe Enquirer gets wide circulation on its ditty, “ Early to bed and early to rise, cut the weeds and swat the flies; mind your own business, tell no lies; ddn’t get gay aud deceive your wives; pay your debts, use enterprise and buy at houie from those who advertise Good advice, especially iu Scotland Neck.—Scotland Neck Common wealth. Carteret county growers shipped about 200 cars of Bogue Sound watermelons this season before the price went too low for profit Great numbers of the melons were also m oved by U ucks. Protestantism Will Be PutToTest In 1932. (From The Good Citizen) Protestanism will be put. to the test in the next Presidential cam paign. The power from beneith will minister their forces to put a wet Roman Catholic in the Presi dintial chair; or if not an actual communicant of the old Roman church, some wet, so called Protes tint, who will plav into the hands of the hierarchy and Tammany Hal1, with its past and present record of e irruption, greed, and graft that has made the old Wigwam so notor ious. Either former Governor Al Smith or Franktim D Roosevelt, Governor of New York would meet the fond e?t dreams of the Papacy. Old eronies they have been for years, out of the same political rookery, working in the interests of each other and of political Romanism Both of them have planned the un doing of the Eighteenth Amendment. It is their highest ambition to bring back the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverage under tha seal of ifovernment. The lossing of this bisom of destruction for the whole sale degrading of society is the goal for which they have been striving. The world depression in business will be used as a bludgeon to force the unsophisticated masses to for sake their traditions, principles, and e/en party»afliuatiiins to join hand: ith them. Should success attend tie efforts of the un-American hord es, bent on breaking down constitu- 'ional law, the'ultimate end would be the uniting of church and state uider the domination of the triplc c:own, through Rome’s loyal sub j jcts, working directly or indirect 1\ to n pudiate the principles of thi,- great republic. A dictator woulc iHen be on the throne at the White Ho ise, with the Armv and Navy ti- enforce his will upon the people, making then) mere vaVsals or slaves- of the old medeviaf s\slem that has- uut to death millions of the best men and women that have ever lived or died. No ground should be yielded at t iis critical time in our national his tory. Every inch should be held bv true Americans and looked upon as '.heir blood bought heritage. They should be ready, if necessary, to meet the issue and to make the con test to the bitter end. It can be done with the ballot at the polls, where there is no discrimina tion between the sexes The women now have the franchise and should glory in their achievement. Protestants should be armed with the truth and be willing to make every sacrifice or even to die that the principles of liberty may be main tained. As Mr. Beach has said, “The mak ing of America Catholic involves the official recognition of the church by the state, the election of only Roman Catholics to office, the surrender of the educational system to the priest and the employment of Roman Ca tholic teachers, and Roman Catholic censorship of speech, press, mails, and morals. This is not to be effect ed bv converting the people to the Roman Catholic faith, but by putting it on them through the governrrent. It won’t happen, but averting the disaster will require raore vigiiance than is at present displayed by the Protestants.” Four Women On School Board. The town of Wilkesboro comes very near having an all-female school board, four of the five members be longing to the feminine sex. R B. Pharr, the chairman, is the only male member, the other four - being Mrs. J. W. White, Mrs B. S. Call. Mrs. C. F. Morrison and Mrs. C. A Lowe. Newspaper Man On Vacation. Monroe Enquirer. Well, here I am back again at my lesk. Went away expecting to take a vacation of one whole week, but ny monev gave out when I heard :otton had declined seven dollars and a half a bale on the government crop estimate of fifteen million bales ■r more of cotten for the 1931 crop. It appears seven to eight cent cot ton may he expected this Fall, and that, my friends, is a real blow to he all-cotton farmer. But remember the plight of the wheat grower. Returning home through the famous Valley of Vir ginia. I asked a farmer “how’s tricks?” With tears in his eyes, he said "We’re making the first crops ima ginable. We can’t sell our cattle, a3d wheat is only forty-five cents a bushel.” We passsd through the fine peach orchards of the sand hills. Multi plied thousands of bushels of fine fruit had rotted—peaches 25 cents a busluls—and no buyers, I was told one grower shipped a car load peaches to New York City. Ilisfactorsent a telegram request ing $82 , since sale of the fruit lack ed that amount of paying frait eharges, Cantaloupes also go begging. Half dozen may be had for a quarter. - But the world appears to be out of joint.’ The farmer gets practically nothing for his product, while others have “not learned the war is over.” Restaurants charged 10 cents for half a cantaloupe and one place 15 cents. Peach pie is still ten cents a small slice. A bushel of $50-cent Lieachcs would make about $50 "worth” of pie! Virginians pride themselves in the pitluclionof hams. To Lhe right a id to the left were signs boards bearing the legend. “Virginia Hams f >r Sale Here.” One enterprising jras fi.'ling station had a placard, "Good Old Georgia Barbecue Pig Here.” Made a drive of nearly 1100 miles, and I’ll give you my word I saw •scarcely half dozen men at word on the entire trip, unless truck driving may be classed as labor. Hundreds ere seen playing checkers, pitching iorse shoes, or "just setting” at filling station and country stores. Could tell you the "trouble” with Oiis country but won’t. You know what as well as anyone. Forgot to say we stopped over in Winston Salem and saw Dr, Charles Weaver and his new church. Church is not the right wora—it’s a cathed ral—the cost of which will run well beyond a million dollars, The most amazing in this country is the number of automobiles. And there are comparatively few rattle traps. Everybody going at break neck speed hence to thence, and never out of sight of a gas filling station. I’d heard much about the speak easies, the hootch peddler and the many persons engaged in the Iikkcr business in Washington City. I had no opportunity to purchase even a drink, saw not one person under the influence of strong drink. The ques tion arises in my own mind who drinks ad the Iikker we read so much about in newspapers? Chatham county will produce much ot its own lespedeza seed this season according 10 harvesting plans now being made. At least one-half ' of the seed needed for planting next year will be saved 011 !home farms. Bearcats Win Over Ad vance. The Bearcats, headed by Dink Talberts four hits, won over Ad vance second nine Saturday, by a score of 113. Grover Robertson pitched the full game for the Bearcats Etchison and Bailev chucked them tor Advance. Eight runs were scored off Bailey in one inning. Dink Talbert led the . hitting with four out of four for the Bearcats. N. Bailey got 2 out of 3 for Ad vance. Averv county, distressed by drought last season, will have an abundance of feedstuffs, bay, for age and corn this season, say the land-owners. THE DAVJE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, R C . SEPTEMBER 2, T9^t THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD ■ ■ Editor. TELEPHONE Entered at the Postoffice in Mocks ville, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - * I 00 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - $ 50 We wonder if the Foreigner is still contending that the old Repub lican hoard of commissioners are making out the budget and setting the 1931 tax rate? Nearly every county in North Carolinahave set their 1931 tax rate and published the news to the world. Just why the Davie com missioners do not get together and fix the county rate is a mystery to us. It is only four wetks from today until the Fifth Annual Davie Coun ty Fair will open. Everybody m the county should get busy and boost this fair daily for the next thirty days. If the fair is to be a success we must al' do our level I est to get the people from all sec tions Of-Tlie countv interested. The Republican party in Davie county is without a chairman. The names of about a dozen good men for this responsible position have been turned over to the Secretary. There is a good deal of talk about calling the entire county executive committee together in Mocksville at an early date and letting them take such action as may be neces sary to secure a chairman. If it is necessary to call- a county conven tiou to elect a chairman, then a convention of all Republicans in the county should be called. We would be glad to hear from the various members of the executive committee in regard to this matter Ifanaggressive campaignisto be made during the next 12 months a good chairman should be elected and put to work. Drop into The Record office and tell us what you think about the matter. Guernsey Breeeders Picnic. The Statesville Da'ly had some thing to say recently in regard to some of the sheriffs taking on a little too much joy water at a re cent convention held in a North Carolina city. We are wondering if the Daily noted any signs of joy water at the recent firemen’s con vention held iu the “ Best towu in North Carolina?’’ We are sure that our iiiend Bryant will “hew t.o the line, let the chips fall where they may ” The editor of The Record spent a short while at Stony Point one day last week and while there drop ped in to see our old friend J 0 . Sofley at the Stony Point Milling Co. Mr. Sofley is the efficient mil ler there, and they are making some extra fine flour. We speak from experience for we were pre sented with two bags of this flour recently. Mr. Sofley lived in Coo- leemee for many years, and has many friends in Davie who will be glad to know that he is getting a- Iong well in Alexander County. The 1930 road tax in Davie was 20 cents on the $100. The school tax was 58 cents on the $100. The last legislature removed the 20 cent road tax and also relieved us of 43 cents of the 58 cent school tax. Our 1930 tax rate was $1.13 on the $100 valuation. Subtracting this 63 cents that the legislature took off, would leave a tax rate for 1931 of only 50 cants on the $100. The democrats claimed to have saved the county about $7,000 by cutting salaries and abolishing offices. If this is true, the Davie taxpayers should not have to pay over 45 cents tax on the $too this year. We don’t believe that changing the names of the various officers will give us much relief.

Ral eigh who talked for about thirty minutes at the annual Guernsey breeders picnic held at Clement Grove Thursday. The official records. Professor Ruffner said of the 15 Guernsey co vs tested in the state shows an average annual production of milk of 14112 pounds while that of the average cow in the U S is only 4,600 ii s. The average butterfat from the Guernseys is 746 pounds while the average for the U, S is only 182 pounds. The fifteen cows which have led the state during the past? five years were all bred in the Carolinas Pro fessor Ruffner said, which was a very conclusive and convincing argument that breeders need n t go out of the state for breeding stock. It has been customary to go to the western states for breeding stock but this should not be, he said, as we have record producing stock right here at home. Records referred to by Professor Ruffner shows that to S. W. Miller formerly of Rowan county, but now a resident of Davie goes to unique distraction of owning the first re cord breaking Guernsey in the state an I also the first cow to complete an official “A.

Dr: W. M. Moore, chief state vetinarian, discussed Contagious A bortion in purebread herds and in cidentally mentioned the dreaded cattle disease known as “Anthrax,” which made its appearance in the state some time ago. A large number of Guernsey breeders from widely scattered sec tions of the state were present and especially from Davie, Davidson, Rowan, Forsyth and Iredell counties. According to officiall records the the 10 highest producing Guernseys in the state with their owners and refiords during the past five years are: Sophie of Garden Creek—H. A.

Their su perior design, mechanical construction, materials and performance have won the favor of farmers wherever chilled plows are used. The unusually light draft of these plows is due mainly to the special shape and angle of moldboard and share which lessen the friction, and to the high shin piece which causes a quick turn of the furrow slice. Moldboard, landside, share and shin are held in alignment by a die-dropped malleable frog. This' feature insures even running, good work always, and proper fit of repair parts. Beam is of double beaded, high - carbon steel. We can furnish these plows in either right- or left-hand styles, and in a size to meet your needs.

Cer tainly the whole idea of machinery has been that of freeing a man to do something more worth while. If there has grown up along with ef ficiency a tendency to translate the same into great possessions it is more nearly because mackinery has mastered men than men machinery It seems difficult for many who have driven themselves through out the years to imagine what an ablebodied man could find to do if he had to days of his own out of every seven And yet there has been hardly a one of these who did not sometimes indulge the hope of retering from his profession or busi ness. taking it easv, seeing the world and never once more return ing to the treadmill. Admitted that it is better to wear than to rust out, why is it that so frequently a man who quits his job is unable to take an intelligent interest in any thing else? Primarly because the job requir ed too constant an application at a time when he might have been acquiring other interests. Save when he was being flattered for his vote the farmer has generally been considered the least sentiment of the property - owing population. Running a plow from sun to sun is not conductive to a lively inquiry into things beyond the horizon. We have not infrequently heard the mental status of industrial la bor deplored by those who had no idea of what a 12-hour day or even 6o-hour week is like. The wonder is that so many of us have fancied chat the way to learn to do one thing well is to know how to do nothing else. No doubt a five day week will tend at first to increase the con sumption of gasoline and hot dogs instead of midnight oil and home- cooking; but what of it? There is certainly nothing beautiiui about enforced labor, and while com manded to earn our bread in the sweat of our brows we have been given the counter injunction that’ we shall not live bread alone. Pci haps we would' not play so awkwardly if ,we had time to learn how. —Greensboro News. What The Devil Is It AU About? * About 45 years ago I came to the world in York' County South Caro Iina,. on rented land. My people worked from early morn until late at night in the cotton fields for nothing. I have seen my mother stand at the wash berich when the children went naked until the cloth es were washed. I have seen my meal? cooked in the back yard on open fire I havegone barefooted in the snojv. I have gone to church in the shade of a tree when the con gregation sat on the ground. I have] seen my mother walk five miles to town to sell two or three dozen eggs to buy quinine for her sick children. Not only our fami ly, but all the neighbors the same. Now what I want to know is, who the devil is raising all the tjowl a- bout the price of cotton. The Gov ernment is coming to his I1CSCue and so long as the Government does such so long will the farmer expect it? He has an automobile. He ha§ a truck. He has good land. His children all have high school Spring Hill Baptist Church 100 Years Old. Spring Hill Baptist church, in Scotland county, is more Ilian. 100 years old. It was founded by Rev. Daniel White, a Scotch missionary who came to this country a young man and made his home in what is uow Scotland county, and gave himself largely to missionary work up and down the Cape Fear river organizing churches here and there and leaving his wife to look after affairs at home whichshe did with marked ability and skill. Mr White on one of his missionary journeys was taken sick and died while yet a young man. away from home in Pender county. His re mains have since been removed and laid to rest in the cemetery of Spring Hill church. Rev. John Monroe, a young man of the com mtinity whom he baptized, held the pastorate for a period ot 60 years. Many eminent men have served the church since that time, though no body has ever served so long a time or more faithfully than John Mon roe. The present pastor-,- Rev. John R. Miller, is a native of David son county and a man of faith and power like his great predecessor, John Monroe. He is beloved 'by the community and preaches to two churches, Spring Hill and Rae- ford, 12 miles away where he mak es his home. Not The First Or The Worst. "We are at present in the midst of a great industrial and commer cial depression. Iudustry is nearly at a standstill all over the earth. The consumptive power, or rather the purchasing power of the whole world has been interfered with, producing not only derangement but a paralysis not only stopping further production but preventing the proper distribution of what there is already created; so that we have the anomafons spectacle of abundant food products on the one band and hungry ,men without bread 011 the other abundant fa brics on the one hand and indus trious, frugal men going half clad on the other. Employer and em ployee are affected alike.” The above words were spoken by Governor John P. Atgeld, Dem ocrat, of Illinois, at a “hard times” meeting in Chicago, during the Cleveland Administration. It is worth nothing now for two reasons. First, it is a reminder that the pre sent period of depression is not the first one from which the country has suffered, nor the worst. Se cond, it recalls the fact that the country climed out of the black pit which Governor Atgeld described, into a period of prosperity that last ed practically 30 years with only a brief break two or three times. This is too big a country to stay in the dumps forever. The man who sells America "short” go broke — Union Republican. In some sections a married wom en will not be employed to teach school on the theory that it takes a job away from a single woman.

Reynolds the wet can didate for the Democratic senator- :al nomination in 1932, says he is being promised support by many preachers, women and others. The "others” may be_ promising him support but as tar “ women and preachers” offering him their supf port well that is another. question and one that can be placed in the category of "Believe it or not.” As far us wp don’t believe it and the "preachers and women” should :all on Candidate Reynolds to puo iish some of these well wishing let ters. Reynolds says: "I have received letters from preachers, from lawyers, from doc tors, from business men and from Iiundieds of women of North Caro lina who say they can’t support me openly because they would incur the disfavor of the moral reformist element in their community, but they give me enthusiastic assurance tnat they will walk quietelv to the polls and cast their ballots for me on election day. “If I am elected to the United Stales Senate, and a bill for modifi cation of the prohibition laws is in troduced in Congress, I pledge you right now that I shall give it my enthusiastic support.” We don t blame these "preachers and hundreds of women” for not wanting their names made known for fear of the “ moral reformist element.” 1 A woman or a preach er who advocates the return of the saloon and supports a man who is in favor or bringing wluskev back to this country to be sold legally may well be ashamed to have their names blazoned to the world and be afraid of the moral element of the country.—Union Republican Why Not Give The Young Men A Chance. A news item the other day came out from Kannapolis that R. R. Hawfield, attorney and Vvorld War veteran of that city was consider ing offering himself as a caudidate for the democratic nomination for Congress in the ninth (formerly the eighth) district next year. And immediately the doughton machine got busy and the first edi torial endorsing the man who has held the job for 22 years’, came from the Concord Tribune, pub lished in the home county of Haw- Held. Every time anything is said about displacing Doughton the old argument about his committe as signment, etc., is brought up What would happen to the district were he to die? Hammer also had high committee assignments but his passing didn't cause a ripple and none of the wheels of govern ment stopped. In fact one seldou hears Hammer’s name mentioned uow. Stedman held high comm ittee assignments, he died and is now forgotton. AU this stuff about keeping a man in Congress forever is the bunk. Why not give the young men an opportunity to make a name in the national Congress once in awhile? Why keep a man in CongreiS his entire life? We do not know Haw field but trust he will not be scared out of making the race but we will warn him in advance that the De ruocrats still known how to count in Asbe, Alleghany and Watauga and he needn't expect any help from those three counties. Con gressman Doughton carries the De mocratic vote there around in his vest pocket and on election davs his political henchmen hold the elections and see to it that he gets enough votes to put him over, it makes no difference what the other counties of the district do.—Ex. Drive right^and more pedestrains will be left. Davie S. S. Convention. A crowd estimated at 1,500 was- present at Liberty Methodist church Sunday, Aug. 30 for the annual convention of the Davie county Sunday School Association. Dr. Shuford Peeler, of Salisbury was the principal speaker and delivered a masterful address on the "Hol\ Scriptures.” The high spots in Dr. Peelei's address were: The Bible is still the world's faste.st sell er even though it is a ncglected book. It is man's only guide to to the way of Iite and is- a lamp unto our feel and ’will will keep us trom sin. The Bible was written hy about do people all guided by the Holy. Spirit and is the only book in existence whose authors^ were divinly inspired. Dr. Peeler also referred to the Bible as a masterpiece of literature. Shakespeare, the poet, was a dili gent student of the Scriptures he averred as in his writings qnata- tions are found from 54 of the 66 boolis comprising the Holy Scrip tures. Tennyson was another Ei- ble student and his works contains quotations from 52 books of the Holy Scriptures. The greatest of all books was his concluding remarks with an urge that all become acqainted more fully with the “book of books ” Other speakers were Rev. J. W. Foster, of Cooleemee; Rev. J. L. Kirk1 of Mocksville; Rev. A. C. Chaffin, of Calahaln; and Rev. G. H. Hood, of Cooleemee, who took the place of J. G. Crawford, who was unable to be present. "The place of the man in the church and school,” was most ably discussed by J. B. Caiu of Eiton church. A vocal soIq by Mrs. J. E- McNeeIey Cooleemee, with her daughter, Miss Naucy accompanying on the (-piano was a most pleasing number on the program which was interesting'and well rendered from start to finish. Dinner was served ou the grounds and it was a real sumptuous spread and iudging from the quality and quantity on the long tables beneath the spreading oaks on the church vard one would be inclined to think the “depression” has not hit this section ot Davie county. Latva B, Ratledge, the county president, was in the chair and dur ing the business session was re elected president for the ensuing year, W. B. Allen was named vice-president and Mrs. J. S. Hol land re elected secretary and trea surer. Division superintendents elected were: Children’s division, Mrs. A. W. Ferebee; young people’s divis ion, J. B. Cain. Actual count showed 70 pastors, superintendents and teachers pres ent from about 25 of the Sunday schools of the county. A lively race tor the attendance banner was staged between Bethlehem with 72 present and 14 miles trav- ed and Dulins with 78 present and 12 miles traveled. Bethlehem was awarded the banner with Dulins running a close second. The ban ner was awarded by Dr. Peeler.

Editor of The Mofsenger: ‘ The following is an article which I lave copied from the Progressive (Farmer (an agricultural paper) which is read by tens of thousands if and agriculturists all over the ’Outh, but not by so many city folk. It is interesting to me and I thought it might be interesting to others liv ing in the city. It was written by Dr. Clarence Poe, president of the President of the Progressire Farmer- Ruralist company. Here is what Dr. Poe has to say. It is interesting reading: “And in spite of all the propo- ;anda in the city dailies and maga zines, I submit that prohibition must ae pretty (ffective wiuh messes in ■he southern half of the United States when one can travel clear a- eross these states, as I did on this trip, with stops as widely scattered as Raleigh, Atlanta, New Orleans. Houston. Dallas, San Autonio, El Paso. Phoenix. Phoenix, Prescott, Pasadena, and Los Angeles, and not see in eny of these cities an Ameri can drunk or an American drinking— particularly since I made it a point to mingle with and study all sorts and conditions of people, from scholars and art lovers admiring the masterpieces in the Huntington mu seum to the motley crowds in a bur lesque show in Los Angeles, and looked on at three Fourth of Julv dances by ranchmen, cow boys and Mexicans, the sheriff I met at one of these dances having recently shot down four desperrdoes, thus proving that I was in the “real west,” and yet the dancers were having fun and hilarity without evidence of liquor. ‘ Maybe the north is drinki.ig heavily, and maybe the fast social set in many southern cities is doing so, hut my convict on is that the masses of our people in the south and south west are gaining a new freedom Irdm alcohol that will tremendously help the south and our struggle for increased efficiency, wealth, pros perity, prestige, and happiness. •Nor was my faith in prohioition in any degree weakened when I de cided to go into (without patroniz ing) two or three barrooms in Juar ez, Mexico, just across the Mexican border. Here one could see Amer ican tourists, including women, who do not drink at home, patronizing a barroom because ths could do so legally—two pictures of America’s most talked-of political opponents of prohibition hanging on the walls a- Iongwith other pictures more ob scene. and nearby the evidence of these two universal accompaniments of the barrooms, houses for gamb ling and houses for vice. To ail fair- minded opponents of prohibition, I should like to say, ‘visit Juarez where all too many workmen waste on saloons and gambling houses the money that should go to help, their families and improve their homes, and then decide for yourself whether American would be helped by du> plicating such condition in the Unit ed States.’ “ I was not surprised to hear one of the most thoughtful Americans who made the trip with me say; "I believe the tide of wet sentiment in America is definitely warning, and that before long even the bitterest opponents of prohibition will realize their hopelessdess of their light a- gainst it ’ ”—Graham Messenger.

It is a shame that a town the size of Mocksville is without hotel facilities. D uringcourttheJudge had to motor to Winston Salem, and the Solicitor to Salisbury to seek lodging. Visitors have to search the private residential sec tions to find lodgings. How can we expect to entertain any of the thousands of tourists passing this way with no hotel. Something should be done about this matter. When JudgeClement and Solicit or Jones remarks about whiskev conditions being as bad or worse in Davie than in any other of the J 00 counties in North Carolina we would respectfully refer them to the Wilkes county criminal docket of last month. We venture tbe as sertion that more liquor cases were tried at the last term of Wilkes court than will be tried at the next two years in Davie county Last week was court week in Mocksvjlle and the town was crowd ed most of the time. Frr.m the number of cases tried one would be led to believe that the world is not getting better fast. Everything from drunks to murder was on the docket and a number of Davie citi zens are reaping what they have sown.

Tom ('‘Thunderbolt’’") Pardue1 serving a sentence for violation of the prohibition laws in .Forsyth county, yesterday was paroled by Gov. 0 . Max Gardner. Pardue was sentenced in May, 1931, to serve six months on the county roads. The parole was granted, a state ment from the ' governor's said, Wilson Warlick, A. W. Cline, su perintendent of public welfare in Forsyth; Dr. T. Rav Heggie, coun ty health officer; W. E. Church, Superior court clerk, and many of- j i. ficials and citizens of Forsyth county'. A few minutes after a jury had convicted him of the first degree murder of his son-in- law, Fred Styers, who was shot to death last May, John Henry Hauser, 82-year-old Davie county farmer, was sentenced in superior court late Saturday afternoon -to die in the electric chair at state’s prison November 5 th. Hauser, white haired and bent with old age, lieard the verdict of guilty without e- motion. After he had heard the death sentence imposed by Judge John H. Clement, he sat with his head bowed. The defendant, throu his counsel, gave notice of ap peal to the supreme court. Upon instructions of the court, Hauser was placed in the custody of lhe sheriff to be taken to the state prison at Raleigh. The jury reached its ver dict after deliberating less than four hours. Hauser, a small bewhisker- ed man weighing only 109 pounds and less than 5 1-2 feet tall, did not deny killing his son-in-law, who was shot at their home last May 28, after an argument over their corn planting. On the stand, the octoge? narian defendant asserted his 35-year-old son-in-law was advancing toward him with a stick when be picked up Iiis shotgun and fired without taking aim. Under cross- examination, however, he ad mitted a hatred of the young man that extended over sev eral years. The defense offered medi. cal testimony that the aged defendant was incapable of premeditating murder, but the state couriered with the evidence of neighbors who swore that in their opinion Hauser’s mental condition was normal. Throughout the trial, the defendant was accompanied by his aged wife, his son and his daughter, the widow of the man who was killed. He showed no ^motion, but fol lowed the testimony with ob vious interest. The following gentlemen served on the jury that rend ered the death verdict: M. W. Reavis, Clarksville town ship, W. H. Howard, Jerusal em township, W. T. Seaford, Fulton township; W. K. Whi taker, Clarksville township; G. M. Hammer, Mocksville; C. F. Barnhardt, Jerusalem township; G. L.

C., and Richmond; V a . — — Sampson CountyaBlues^ Algernon Butler, representative in the Legislative from Sampson county, was iu Greensboro cine da; the past week and talked entertain ingly of one of the great money crops of hisconuty—huckle berries known the world over as "Sampson Blues.” In monetary terms Sampson’; huckleberries each year iepresent a total approximately a quarter of a million dollars, Mr. Butler disclos ed. In spite of the fact that price; of numerous other horticultural agricultural products have shown very sharp declines this year, tin decrease in prices paid for huckle berries from his county has been comparatively small, relatively little deflation—Mr. Butler said. Oue reason why the crop is pro fitably handled, it was said, is to be found in the wild state of the fruit. "Tnose huckleberries simply will not respond to cultivatatiou,” said the Sampson represeutative. "They are at their best when left to their own devices in the lowerlands. Cultivation is harmful, not helpful. Fertilization is to be avoided; you simply watch them grow, subse quently harvest and market them;” The owner of a huckleberry es tate may employ pickers, paying ing them two cents per quart for gathering his crop. Then he may sell them "at the platform” Jo a broker for six, seven or eight cents a quart, he many ship them to Washington, Baltimore or New York, obtaining about §15 per crate of 32 qts. The combined cost, of harvesting and marketing prob ably will not exceed $2.75 or $3 per crate; the huckleberry farmer, therefore, may reasonably expect a profit of $12 per crate, Mr. Butler estimated. He called attention to the fact that the figures were fur nished from memory, and, as they say of railroad schedules,' not guar anteed, but he thinks that they are substantially correct. Sampson huckleberries, growing on nnusually tall bushes, are deli ciously flavored, Representative Butler delared, constituting fine filling for pies, also a real delicacy in the raw state, supplemented by sugaf and cream, on the breakfast menu. It has even been reported ihat "in other counties” huckle berries from Sampson have been converted into brady, but Mr. Butler has no tangible information on that point. Republican Samp son is decorously dry,, it was indi. cated. These berries are seedless a condition which tends to increase their salability. Sampson is uni que among the counties of the en tire United Stales, it is understood, in its posiliou of eminence in the huckleburry inuuslry. Mr Butler also referred to Clinton as' “ the largest green corn market in the world. ’ ’ Surprise Party. Mr. and Mrs A. C.

Cost of Living^ While eueryone is heard talking ibout the depression in business there is one gleam of hope in the situation as far as the average mar is concerned. It is iu the fact that the cost of living now stands at it; lowest figure since 1918. Figures given out bv the Depart ment of Labow shows that it drop ped father in the first half of 1931 than in any six months for a de cade. Food prices led in the gen eral tumble that felt its mark or on every group of items in the bud get of the family. Deiving into the records we find that since the turn of the yeai prices declined 13 S per cent, in the food group; 6 per cent, in housi furnishings; 5 5 per cent, iu fuel and light;,-; 6 per cent, in clothing; the miscellaneous group. The high cost of living was at its peak in June 1920 and the 1931 drop marks the first time since then that prices have come more than half-way down the scale towards the low ol 1913. It is on the basis of 1913 the Department of Labor basis its comparisons. Since the peak eleven years ago clothing is said to show a decrease of 49.2 per cent.; food, 46 percent, and fuel and light 3 8 per cent. It is understood that the depart ment bases its figures on prices ob tained from thirty-two cities on the remaining groups. Averages of actual selling prices showed the retail cost of various articles of food in the country had declined 20.1 per cent, since last June. So the case does onot appear so gloomy after all if one is trying the least bit to finn the rainbow of hope.— Winston Sentinel. Union County In Good Shape. “After all conditions in Union county are not so bad as some pes simists would lead us to believe” says the Monroe Enquirer. ,“While prices of farm products are distress ingly low there never has been a more productive season, and lessen ed prices are compensated to an ex tent by a wealth of cotton, corn, grain, hay, not forgetting to men tion lespedeza. "Last year our farmers obtained an average price of about 11 cents a pound for their cotton, and pro duced about 30,000 bales, which at $55 per bale totaled ati income of approximately $2 ,650,000 “ The present year there will prob ably be a 35,000 bale crop, and should the price be eight cents a pound, the farmer would receive $1.400,000—a difference of $250,000 “Now, the present year, farmers of Union county purchased much less commercial fertilizer than the year before—saving at least $250, 000 for that item. And their soils have been greatly improved and en riched by the use of legumes, parti cularly iespedeza, and which there will be a valuable seed and hay crop later in the season. “The merchants of Monroe should not be pessimistic and gloomy. The farmers will have monev to spend, and those merchants who believe this country is sound at the core are (he ones who will sell goods if they do not forget to advertise.7 Better Throw The Job.

Oid The Mean Republicans Meet Last Week And Raise The Rate? A mighty blow has fallen. The county commissioners met the past week and made out a budget and set the 1931 tax rate. TheRecord loesn’t propose to lose its temper and make many life long friends mad. We shall not comment edi torially about the way the Foreign er has helped or hindered the good Md county of Davie. We shall let the good voters settle this mat ter next year. The 1930 tax rate, set by a Re publican board of commissioners, was $1.13 011 the $100 valuation. Of this amount we are reliably in formed, 58 cents went to the school fund and 20 cents to the road fund The democratic legislature met in the city of Raleigh last January :md proceeded to take over our road and school system and moving everything to Raleigh save otir-jail, court house and a few home grown and imported office holders Allof the 20 cent road tax and 43 cents of the 58 cent school tax, was au tomatically taken over by the state, making a total reduction of 63 cents, and leaving a.lotaL.tax. rate of 50 cents on the $100 valuation. The democrats promised to save us several extra thousands of dollars by abolishing the welfaie.office, the treasurer’s office and the county ac countant’s oflice and cutting the janitor’s salary to a starvation wage. We have people filling all these offices but under different ntmes. With all this reduction in the county promised last year, and the state taking over the roads and schools, the overburdened taxpay er was figuring on not over a 45 or 50 cent lax rate. Our good board of county commissioners have fixtd the 1931 tax rale at 73 cents, on the $100 valuation. The feeble pen of this scribe will not trv to comment on the new tax rate. We will let oiir good demo cratic friends have the honor ar.d glory of enlightening the voters on how much they haye saved them in taxes. Frank Stewart Shot To Death.

II. Clemint, of the eloventh judicial district, last week closed a terifl of court at Wilkes boro, and the Wilkes Bar Associa tion was impelled to join in adopt ing resolutions in appreciation of his services, a proceeding rather unusual in this day and time. The Wilkes lawyers, expressing the sentiment of the "best citizens” of that county, officially notified Gov ernor Gardner that “ more has been done during the past two weeks to deter crime in the county by the fair and impartial trials and sen tences imposed by His Honor, and the fearless prosecutions by our able and affable solicitor, John R. Jones, than has been accomplished by any court heretofore held in this c nut ty.” The Wilkes Bar Association backed this up with special request that that the Governor assign Judge Clement to' the extra term that is to be held there. And other people in whose community Judge Clement has officiated on the beach will be agreed that the tri bute paid him by the Wilkes bar is ,well deserved—Charlotte News. Shake Called To Prayer In these 45 years ago last Mnnday light—and it was on a Monday light, too—there were more calls on he Lord for protection and comfort han in a long time. The Charles- on earthquake occurred on the light of August 31, 18'6, Charlestoh .’as the seat of the disturbance, and the property damage there went in- 0 millions. Fifty lives were lest, Iiiffly in the Charleston sector.- -' Up this way the shake was distur- iingly dislict; and as always wlen nan feels his helplessness he is dis- josed to turn to a source of help that hat he ignores when he feels able to ake care of himself. Until they rot their bearings, learned the ause, people generally were quite erious and some voiced their alarm. Even after they learned about Char leston many were in doubt whether the quake might not repeat, that the -ocks might be rent and the earth ■pen right on their own premises. Itevival meetings were in progress •ome t-laces when.the shake occurred ind hardened sinners rushed to the dtar for protection. There was pro- iabiy larger attendance on church servici s following that event than in 1 long time, probably more prayers ient up than in many a day. But after awhile when the alarm ed began to feel the ground safe jnder their feet they decided the langer had passed, that they could take care of themselves, and so manjr if them left off bothering the Lord about aid. When the boy was asked about his prayer habits he answered that he always said his prayerB at oight but not in the morning, ex- jlaining that ‘ any smarst boy can ake care of himself in. daylight.” Vdiilts are in many respects but Children grown.—Greensboro News. Georgia Tobacco Poor. H. G. Clavton, of Sanford, buyer c’orR J Roynolds Tobacco Co., who nas been buying tobacco on the Georgia market for several weeks has returned to Sanford. He says that in his seven years experience there has not seen a crop as poor in quality as that of this year. Much if the tobacco was dry, without sap or life After a long dry spell rain had caused much of it lake a second growih Clayton reports that the low aver age is due to the large quantity of the lowest grades offered for sale, which only brought one to three cents a pound. Hefurthersaidthat Experts Tobacco Co., which general ly buys a third of the crop, was not on the Georgia markets, and'this no loubt helped to lower the average, Clayton is optimistic over the pros pects in the Carolina belt for a good average.—Ex. Same Over Here. Some of the penny a liners think it terrible that men like E C. Jame son, the big New York insurance man who gave a goodly sum of mon ey to help carry on the campaign to defeat Al Smith for President in 1928 was not rewarded with some high post in the government, prob ably a Cabinet office. Dollars to doughnuts Jameson never thought of an office when giving his money to help defeat the wet Catholic and wouldn’t have an office had it been offered him In North Carolina for instance the men who were most active against Smith never one time thought of political reward and would. spurn an oflice of any kind. They have too much to look after at tending to their own business and the reason they lined up against Smith and his crowd was in opposi tion to his wet record as well as other things well known to a major ity of people.—Ex.

Sixteen years is a long time to hold an honorary office where the pay is nothing and the honor is a- bout the same. The ariide concerning Davie county political matters, which ap peared in the Winston Journal ot Sept, 9th, and written by J.

When anything ot importance hap pens in your school, write or phone us the facts Strange that when a newspaper prints complimentary things about a person, firm or corporation, the editor never hears anything about it, but just print a little article that is not complimentary and an indivi dual or a committee will call on the e litor and demand an apology or retraction. Rposevelt clubs are being formed throughout the country, and a great effort is going to be made to nominate Franklin for president next year on the democratic ticket. He is a big man—a good politician, but is too wet to suit the dry wing of the Southern democracy. The people are not going to support a wet man tor president. From present indications the 1932 campaign will be open in Davie county many months ahead of schedule time Since we are now under the primary law the boys who want office will have to spend many weeks on the highways - and hedges begging and worrying their friends to do everything possible for them before the June primary. Uncle Cam Morrison has had a great weight removed from his overworked mind since Clyde Hoey announced that he would not be a candidate for U. S. Senator. Cam will no doubt defeat all the other opponents in the primary. The only way to keep him out of Wash ington is to nominate a good Re publican and.swat Cam at the ballot #box. • One of our subscribers wants to know how many Republicans are employed as state highway patrcl men. While we are not positive a bout the matter, our guess would be that there are just as inanv Re publicans on the highway patrol as .there, are Republicans holding a political job in Davie under the present democratic administration. A reward will be paid for the name and address of any Republican who is riding a state owned motorcycle and drawing a salary of $735 pel month. Mail name and address to this office. Sale of Land Postponed The county commissioners last week again postponed the sale of Imd for taxes in Daviecounty1 and those who haven’t yet settled their taxes will have until Oct. ist to do so, after which the lands on which taxes remain unpaid, will be ad vertised and sold. The Record pleaded with the Board last spring and summer to extend the sale date for the special benefit of the farm ers giving them a chance to sell some of their crops before adver tising. We are glad that the Board saw fit to do this________ An Expensive Trial. The taxpayers of Davie county are going to have to shell out a- bout §834.50 as a result of t. • Hauser murder trial which.consu...- ed three days of the August term of Davie Superior court. AU ot the costs had not been added up by clerk of the couit Allen when the above figures were handed us, and the costs will no doubt be in the neighborhood of §900. Some of the big items were the spicial venire of 75 men, the four doctors who were expert witnessess, the expense of feeding and lodging the jorors fo- four days. It cost much money to try a murder case, and in these tight times everybody who holds sense should refrain from killing anybody.

The pistol with which Stewart was killed was turned over to the police. Stewart was killed late Monday at his filling station a mile from Salisbury. Officers conducted a wide search for his assailants. Bal lard was ’arrested yesterday as a suspect but denied any connection with the case until his confession today. ■ Young Men’s Republi can Club ForKannapolis A Young Men’s Republican Club will in all probability be organized soon at Kannapolis the purpose of the organization being to crystalize ideas and to plan for the campaign next year. In 1930 Cabarrus slipped from her moorings and gave a De mocratic majority but in 1932 the Republicans are determine to regain the county and elect their entire ticket The club when it gets to going will in all probility extend its scope and take in other sections of Cabarrus and Rowan, Kannapolis being located in these two counties. Although there are organized Re publican committees in the state there are only a few young Repub lican clubs. The one in Greensboro has won considerable attention by its activities, chief among which is the annual Lincoln Day dinner held on February 12 of each year. . Organization of a junior club at Kannapolis will have the backing of a number of young men of the city, it is understood. It will probably work in co-operation with the Cabar rus County Republican Executive Committee, ef which Buford Black welder is chairman.—Ex. Hauser To Pen.

Now is the time of all times for girls to stay pn the farm. Reports from Young Women’s Christian Asoociations, employment bureaus and other institutions dealing with employment problems show that there is little or no available work for yotiug women in the cities and. few prospects if any in the near future. Due to the present existing bus iness conditions, offices, stores, restaurants, factories and other business firms have been forced to cut their help until the cities are now full of skilled people without, jobs. Girls who can live at home and have enough to eat should stay there. If they would concentrate the effort they would have to de vote to a job in the city to making the farm and home a better place to live aud emvhasizing the many advantages of farm life, charitable institutions would have a far small er percentage of unfortunates to care for this coining winter.—Ex.

Brown,- 45. pastor 0 f Proximity Mellioclist Church since November, 1927, died suddenly at Jiis 10:30 o'clock Iasi Tuesday morning while he was be ing taken from his home, to St. Leo’s hospital in a Hanes ambu lance following a heart attack. During the.last tew days he had complained several time of pains in his side. Funeral services were conducted at Proximity Methodist church al I o’clock Wednesday afternoon by Rev. W. A. Newell, presiding elder of the Greensboro district, Metho dist Episcopal church, south Tlit body was brought to Center Metho dist church following the funeral and laid to rest iu the church grave yard in the presence of hundreds ol sorrying friends and relatives. Mr. Brown was born in Davie county, March 22, 1SS6. Aftei attending the public schools he en tered Weaver college and subse quently he was a student at Emory university. Still later he took post graduate work at Duke university. In 1912 Mr. Brown entered the Methodist ministry as a member of the Western North Carolina confer ence, then in annual session at High Point. Since that time he had served as pastor ot a number of important charges, these having in cluded De'.lwood circuit, Weaver- ville station and Proximity. Mr. Brown leaves his wife, who prior to theii marriage October 27, 1926, was Miss Annie Mae Fuller, of Raeford; his parents, Mr. aud Mrs. R. J. Brown, of Mocksville; a brother, W. D. Brovyp, of Coolee Body of ^Lynched Man Taken From Grave. ^In 1S81, Bert Tucker and Alex' Whitley, two white men, natives of Stanly county, were living in Texas, fhev are alleged to have fallen out and Tucker was killed. Whitleynrt lone after that turned up in Stanly county and was arrested and placed in jail by the late Sheriff I W. Snuggs. And here comes the strange part of the story. Friendsof Tuck er, the dead man, residing in Stanly, one dark and stormy night in Jpne, 1891, stormed the jail at Albemarle, took Whitley from the officers and carried him to the bank of a creek running along the western section >f Albemarle and hung him to a 'imb Here was a man lynched in one state for a crime committed in sinother state hundreds of miles a- way. ilWhitley’s body was viewed by [the coroner and a verdict returned that became to his death by unknown persons. The body was buried at the foot of the tree where he was Ivnched and has lain there for the oast 40 years. The past week his daughter, Mrs. Titus Barbee, de cided that she would have the body of her father removed to a ceme tery and the grave was opened and all that was left of Alex Whitley were five or six small bones and a part of the limbs, also decayed parts of the coffin. Physicians declared that the bones were those of a human which satisfied the daughter that they were what was left of her un fortunate father and were placed in a new casket and reinterred in Smith Grove cemetery, nea(*Oakboro. For many years it was reported around Albemarle that the place where Whitley was hung was haunt ed and it was next to impossible 10 get a negro to go near that spot after nightfall.

Sheriff McSwain went to Raleigh last Tuesday and brought John Henry Hauser back to Mocksville and lodged him in jail to await the findings of the Supreme, Court I which will hear the appeal some time in December.

She of course bought it on the install ment plan but it took at least $5 to get the victrola on its way to- her house. Comment is unnecessary.— Unioa Republican, Spend More On Cotton. The Press Scimitar, of Memphis, says to its readers. “Spend more for cotton” just what all of us have been doiog. but the Memphis pa per laid emphasis on the idea aud gave more detailed specification. Look over your stock of house ■ hold commodities. Check what i>- needed. Maybe there is an item ot towels; maybe sheets are in need 0! replenishing. At any rate there will be numerous articles that are needed in your household. With the list in hand take a fev.' dollars and go out and purchase what is needed. It will not be ex travagant buying it will besnpplv ing needs, perhaps badly needed items. Cotton goods. It is also suggested that a elollar might be spent on some other one in r.eed. Something for an orphan child, a kiudsman or somewhere a place you can spend a cotton dollat to a good advantage. Press Scnmitar’s plan has a triple purpose: increase the demand for raw cotton, give employment to workers, and give poor people the cotton products they need for health and comfort. The mere purchase and moving of a bale ot raw cotton won’t re med y the preset cotton situation. There must be a demand for the the finished product. Stock must move, demands must grow, machines must turn in re sponse to the dema.’d, and everv one ot us can find where we ueed coilou goods. -E x Mr. Hoovers Friends. (■'Aristocrat” in Greensboro News) The ingratitude of democracies i> proverbial. The people are never pleased with their chief magistrate unless he can guarantee Io them a full belly. Mr. Hoover no longer has any friends in this country ac cording to big head lines in our favorite morning paper. How pat he tic. What a commentary on Ameri can democracy, the great political inspiration of the nineteenth cun tury Here is a man who in a special sense has befriended the intire world in more ways than one and who in the performance of public duty and public trust has never once beer found wanted. Possessed of rarr and versatile ability of large propor tion. he has dedicated all his talent1 to the service of his country and the world iti a manner never surpassed by any other American citizen. And yet certain editors whose veracitj no one would think of calling in questions find that the name of Herbert Hoover is punk in the Unit ed States. When the nations of the world were in a death struggle to make the world safe for democracw which was'not worth saving who was chosen to feed the unfortunate people who countries were being ravaged by a foolish wai? Who was chosen to set in order the commerce of the world after the war was ovei ? Whenthis country wanted a big President, safe and sane and trustworthy, '0 face the most difficult proble-ns since the days of Lincoln, whom did they choose by an' overwhelming’ majori- t> ? When the European nations are about to go down in bankruptcy to whom do they look but to president Hoover? Has he failed in a single emer. gency? It is trufe he vetoed the cash bonus and kept farm relief within sane bounds and avoided the dole through the Red Cross, all of which he ought to have done as a patriotic citizen and President. . He is doing what he can to prevent the return of whisky and preserve a sober na tion. If Mr. Hoover has no friends in this country is a sorry ingrate or a stupid ass. Let us hope that a few friends in Europe will still feel kindly toward him. How Unemployed Are PreparingFor Winter Many of the farmers in this sec tion have hegum curling primings, while a number of others arei-ulling ing them from the stalks and leaving them on the grounds, thereby ac cepting the advice of the manufac turers and leaf btyprs that sand lugs ire really not wanted at any price. The tobacco crop is nearly every section of this and adjoining coun ties is looking promising and in qual ity it is ix pec led to be far better 'han Ia3t year — that is provided there is not to« much rainfall during September. The growers are saying that tobacco now needs sunshine in irder to riped as it should. A large majority of the farmers in Stokes county-are said to be in debt and they are hoping to be able to meet some of their indebtedness with the money derived from their' ‘eaf. “ We need cash now to j5ay our tuxes, buy clothing and school books for our children,” stated one farmer a few days ago. Headmitted that nearly every one of the soil till ers would have all the produce for their families that would be needed, while many of them would have some to sell.” “We are in much better condition in that respect than we were a year ago.” he explained. The unemployed in some sections of the west, it is related, are prepar ing for the coming winter by orga nizing their 0 vn relief associations. The movement is said to be spread ing The plan consists of exchange of surplus foodstuffs, handed by the inemployed. For instance, a sur plus of apples, which would waste for ack of market, would be exchanged nr a surplus of grain in the wheat >elt, or a surplus of beans, potatoes, Ic , from other regions Trangpnr- Htion facilities to carry out this scheme have been extenndfd, ware- nouses have been donated in com. munities where this activity is under way. At Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, the 150 families of organized jobless have Uored nearly twelve carloads of oeans. and wheat can be obtained for 'he harveating and threshing. The plan is to be establish a central -varehouse, and give a triplicate re- ;eipt for everything needed Rail roads. freight and truck lines and private companies have offered free transportation.

THE dAVIE RECORD, MQckgViLLE, N. t. SEPTEMBER 23, rgjt THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD - • Editor; TELEPHONE Entered at the Postoffice in Mocks ville, N. C., as Second-class Mail matter. March 3.1903. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: ONE YEAR. IN ADVANCE - t I 00 SIX MONTHS. IN ADVANCE - S 50 The distribution of Federal of fices in North Carolina has done more to wreck the Republican par tv in the state than any other one agency. The columns of The Record are open to both democrats and Repub licans. If you wish to express your opinion of the editor or praise or criticise any other public office or office-holder, get busy. Space is free as the air you breathe. Only a few months ago the de mocrat said that the Republican county commissioners were, making out the 1931 budget and setting the 1931 tax rite. Are our good democratic friends still insisting that the tax rate can't be cut this year because the Republicans set the rate? There is much dissatisfaction in Davie county over the consolidation of some of the rnral schools. Some are swearing that they will get sweet revenge when the next elec tion rolls around. The school situa tion throughout the state is causing much comment. The 1931 legis lature will not soon be forgotten. The Record promised several weeks ago to give the democratic county commissioners credit for saving the taxpayers of Davie coun ty some money, provided they cut the couuty tax. rate to less than 72 cents. We are sorry our friends had to make the rate 73 cents, for we can’t give them credit for re ducing the rate out have to tbank the legislature instead. But The Record is glad that the rate is not higher. Poor folks—like editors and farmers, will have to raise the 73 cents. The Record is especially inviting all the pretty girls in Davie and ad joining counties to be present at the Davie County Fair on Thurs day Oct. 1st, for that is the day ot the “Pretty Girl Contest." The prettiest girl who enters the con test will receive J>5 and the sec^id prettiest girl will receive $2 50. AU young ladies between the ages of 12 and 25 years, can compete. Re member the date, Thursday, Oct 1st, at 3 o’clock, p. m. Register any time after 11 a. m., on that date. In the death of Rev. Dvviglit Brown, which occurred at his borne in Greensboro last Tuesday, Davie county lost one of her best beloved sons—a man who was born and spent much of his life among us. and in early manhood left to study for the ministry, so that he could be about his Father’s business. His death brought sadness to hundreds of his friends throughout this sec tion. The editor of The Record had known £)wigbt fot more than thirty years and counted him as a friend. He willbe missed sorely in his old home county. We see by the papers that the Iredell county commissioners have raised the salary of the Iredell sheriff to $3,900 per year, and the county accountant’s salary to $3,000 per year. If the county of Iredell was Repnblican this year instead of democratic, what a mighty howl would go up from the throats of the democratic taxpayers. We wonder what our good cotton farn> ers ia Iredell will think and say a- bout boosting these salaries. It seems to us that this is a bad time tp raise salaries of - political office holders. It is just one week from today until the Davie Coun'y Fair gates will open to the public for the 5th annual event of this kind. It is thought that the exhibits this year viiU be bagger and better thiu ever before. With good weather record breaking crowds are expected fir the.three days and nights of the fair. Many and varied attractions will be found on the midway, and the fine cattle horses, sheep, hogs, .gotiltry, rabbit and other live ex hibits will be well worth the tims and money spent by coming to this big event.

Barnhardt1 published the other day the story of how his sexton found a man with his day j garments off, asleep one Monday morning in the Fir3t Methodist church, Salisbury. But to Joe Row land, a close friend, the pastor gives the story in full and it is quite dif ferent from the newspaper story. Here is the latest edition: "The sex ton entered the church and saw some pants hanging near the pulpit, and fearing the pastor and his official board had had a misunderstanding, he investigated and found the broth er still fast asleep. The sexton a- w.oke and told him it was custo mary for people to sleep in this church, but sleeping hours were con fined to the regular preaching ser vices. and furthermore, it was ex pected that all of those who con tinued in this communion must keep on their Sunday clothes while they slept.” USE COOK’s C.

Rockingham countv white man, brutally murdered his wife. He was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to the chair. When they carried him down to Raleigh and he caught a glimpse of that in fernal machine and heard the cur rent turned on another victim Car ter went suddenly insane, at least eminent alienists said he did. Tnis will drive most anyone insame when they hear the whirr of that death- dealing machine and realize that they are in line for its clutches. Governor Morrison cdmmuted his death sentence and he was carried to the criminal insane department j A few months ago he was discharg ed as curred and carried back to pri son and the past week the Governor paroled him.

Kills Mother And Babies Alien Stariette teIIs_ot the killing of mother squirrels leaving babies so young that their eyes were, not open SXo "perish of hunger. A cor respondent of the Greensboro News makes similar complaint of his sec tion. Ordinarily if a hunter killed squirrels in the breeding season he might be brought to court for cruel ty to animi'.s and sent to jail. If not that he would be so denounced by humane people that he would he ashamed. The real blame is be yond the hunters, although "it i> surprising that any hunter would care to shoot squirrels now and take chances on killing a mother, leaving ■ the young to die. The real blame is on the so called game conservationists who authorized the squirrel shooting season to begin the 1st of September when probab Iy October 1st would be as early as the shooting should be permitted. W hatsortofpeople is it, any how, in charge of the making and enforcement of regulations to con serve game who don’t know better than to permit squirrel shooting wbeji mother squirrels are nursing their poung? The mildest remark that can be made about them is that they are utterly unfit for their jobs. Any plain woodsman, any rural resident, could tell them when the proper season is for the shoot ing to avoid such cruelty as is practiced.

We do not mind telling you'what we think about it. The great trouble is, as a people, we know too much. We know more than the. president the senators, tht governors ottr preacher, our judges ajd everybody else—or we think we do. We read things, hear peo ple talk, see things, and swallow them whole, without thought or digestion of facts. But that does not bar us from reaching conclu sions, usually erroneous We have too much confidence in our own convictions, based on superficial knowledge. We are always ready to decide matters economic, political, theolo gical, social or what not for the other tellow, right off the bat, without stopping to think whether we ourselves are right. Ignorance, prejudice and egotism are often on display to the hurt of facts in the case.

How many of us seek the principles underlying any problem outside our own business? There we are keen because profits come only from accurate knowledge.—Ex. A Big Questiop.

Living In A Small Town There are so many reasons why people who live in small towns have a better time of it thBti those '.vho live in the big cities lliat there isn’t room to put them all down here. But one of the things that make our city cousins mad is that we small-towns and country folks have so much more to say aboul the government of our state and of the nation than they do. A writer in a recent issue of The American Mercury points out thai >n voter in Echols county, Georgia, lias as much to say about the stale's affairs 011 election day as 35 voters in Atlanta. Atlanta has 11 percent of Georgia's population and pays 24 percent of the ad valorem taxes but has only 1 4 percent of the members of the lower house of the state legislature. That disclosure leads the New York Times to remark that one voter in Putnam county., less than thirty miles north of the big city has as much to say at Albany as five voters in New York itself There are similar situations in everv state which has large cities. Chica go is always complaining that “down-state’’ members run the Illinois legislature, while the con slittilion of the state of New York contains a provision which prevents New York city from ever having a majority in either house of the Ieg- is'ature, The condition is a.sarvival of the original distribution of political authority according to locality a^d not according to population. And. on the whole, we see no reason to change it. Population has been drifting away from the farms in the past few years, but a whole lot of drift never got any farth than the nearby country towns and villages, and now theie is beginning a swing back from the big city to the land again. Farmers have their troubles, and so do small town business m enjnit they are trifling compared with the troubles of city people in times of industrial distress and tineiiiploy ment. For one thing, the ciiy dweller has to have cash sin his pocket or starve. We know many good citizens who don’t handle as much cash in a year as thousand ol city folks spend for a month’s house rent, but we haven’t noticed any of them starving. And the few who have had hard luck and have had to have help from cepting a “lift" over the temporary rr.ugh going. As far as we can find out. the small towns of the whole United Slates have got along better through these past twft years of depression than the big cities have done. And if there is anything ieally worth having in city life that we haven’t got right here at home, we don’t know what it is. On the whole, perhaps, it's just as well that the cities don’t run everything, so long as people have to eat and we country folks ,have to raise their food for them.—Ex. Poor Radio Programs.

With cotton selling at less than seven cents a pound, the Southern cotton farmer faces the prospect of selling his crop at the lowest figure in over 30' years. It would be diffi cult to appraise in dollars and cents the actual loss to the cotton farmers of the south resulting from the re cent aeclme, but Bome idea of this severe cash depreciation may be gainad from the fact that a Ic drnjj in raw cotton apUied to a 15million bale crop amounts to $75,000,000 This does not take into account, ol course, the ii.vontory loss on tht carryover which is faced by holders of cotton and mills alike. The lowest price per pound which cotton ever sold for on the New Y< rk Cotton Exchange since 1855 when the records first began to be kept, was in JS 98 99 when it brought 5 31 per pound. In 1894 95 it sold down to 5 56 per pound The high est price that cotton ever brought was of course during the World Wai when such a great amount of it was required for ammunition purposes At one J.ime during this period it brought 43.75 per pound, the high est price ever known and then it w;;s that the cotton growers went wild and even planted the streets, grave yards and every availaale spot in cotton and the very iext jeir i tumbled to as low as 10 85 Th-r late Henry W.

Democratic women in Asheville, followers of Al Smith and Raskob, met the past week and launched a formal campaign to assist Raskob in getting rid of this “damnable afflic tion of prohibition" and set set sail in motion a movement for repeal or modification of the Eighteenth A mendment. Itisnotlikelythatthey will get very far<«ith their "move ment,” The Western North Carolina branch of the Woman’s Organiza tion for National Prohibition Reform was organized at Asheville with Mrs Louis M Bourne, wife of an Ashe ville attorney and At Smith follower, as chairman'.

More than a quarter of a centur.i ago when I was a young map I visit ed one of the big cities of the stat< and there received my first baptism of almost nude women I went to the theater where a vaudeville troupe consisting if young women were playing. They were scantily atiired, wore short skirls, theii di esses were cut Iiw at the front and back of their necks and theii darning was on the reique order. Some ot' ih.e good sisters were shock ed at the performace and young boys in their teens, when their moth ers were told of the quality of the show, were ordered to stay away from the place where the "hussies” were exhibiting their forin3 in this manr er.

Well, that being the case, who carried Davie in 1930 and 193?? The fifth annual Davie County Fair will open today and continue for three days and three nights. Everything is in readiness for the biggest and best fair ever h Id in Davie cotintv. From present in dications the exhibits-will be big ger and bitter than ever before. There aie many attractions on the ■ grounds in additions to the fine farm and live stock exhibits, and visitors will be well repaid for the time spent in visiting the fair. It is th< u ;ht that 'onorrov will be the biggest day of the three. Every- 'body in Davie and adjoining coun ties is given a cotdial invitation to come early and stay late. Up to the time this article is written no one seems to know who is going to be Mocksville’s next postmaster. Among those who .stood the examination more than two months ago were Will N. Smith, D. R. Stroud, Paul Hend ricks, J. L. Holton. William Fost er, A. T. Dauiel and G. C. Hend ricks. When the ratings are re ceived from Washington then the fight will begin in ernest. The Republican executive committee, together with the patrons of the post office, may meet and discuss the three men who made the high est rating. The patrons of the local postoffice are vitually interested in who is going to hold down this of fice for the coming two and one- half years. 5- Some Plain Troths. The editor of The Record is a Baptist aud a Republican. Since his early days he has been engaged in the newspaper business and has tried to be fair -to a'l denomina tions and ,to all parties, giving every man the right to belong to the church or party of his choice For nearly a quarter of a century he has lived in Mocksville and did everything possible to help the town and county grow and prosper. During these many years he has stood by the Republican party and the Republican nominees for the various offices, and has never ask ed for any kind of a political office. He h- s borne the brunt of the many campaigns that-have been faught since coming here aud has traveled the highways and hedges in sun shine and rain, heat and cold, fight ing for the election of men nominat ed bv his party. Not a penny has ever been received by him for this work except for advertising and printing that lie has done for the various candidates, and tfje prices charged them were the same as his charges for regular business adver tising and printing. -Hiswork bas been appreciated by some but the . criticism aud cussings he lias re ceived from members of his own ., party far outweighs the thanks he has received. Some of his supposed friends have tried to crucify him on numerous occasions, and have lied, villified. and misrepresented him on any and all occasions. Poli licians Whqml Iie took to be nonest men have turned out to be Judases, and have.done everything possible to put him but of business. Some of those whom lie worked for the hardest and'kept at the pie counter the longest, have used butcher knives and. bayonets when he was not looking. With one or two ex ceptions he has no apologies to make for the men he hassupported for office, although he has made a few n-.i takes and supported a few men who were not fit to hold any kind of an office. This may hap pen again if we live long, but in the future we shall be sure who we are trying to put in office before going out and working night and day for their nomination and elec tion.

Ilere’s an interesting letter from a Ford owner in North Carolina: “My Ford was purchased May 8, 1928, and has been run 121,767 miles. It has never stopped on the road for repairs of any kind what soever except punctures. “The brakes were relincd at 101,000 miles. My gas mileage aver aged 21 miles to the gallon, and on tires, 19,000 miles per tire. I travel over all kinds of road conditions—mountainous and flat. “I consider this a wonderful record and I assure you my next car will also be a Ford.” , This is just one of many tributes to the reliability and long life of the Ford. A Ford owner in Iowa tells of driving his Ford 73,000 miles in a single year. Another writes of 120,000 miles of good service. Think ahead when you are considering the purchase of an automobile and consider what it will be like after thou sands of miles of driving. Will you still be satisfied? Will you still say “it’s a great car”? . If it’s a Ford, you know everything will be O. K. It will be taking you there and back in good style, just as it has always done. And you wjll have saved many important, worth-while dollars in cost of operation and up-keep and low yearly depreciation. F I F T E E N B O B Y T Y F E S $ 4 3 0 ™ $ 6 4 0 F. O. B.
