LOCAL REALTYMAN
TELLS OF SPIRIT
AT STATE CONEAB

W. $. Hancock. local real estate
man. who attended tho four-6av ses-
sion of the California State Real
Estate association mas returned with
whole carload of enthusiasm for
California ard for Imperial Valley,
which he terms the best part of the
best state in the union.
." Folks who think Of the real
estate meeting rs gathering to boost
real estate values and devise new
ways te fleece the public. are sadly
Mistaken said Hancock today.
Commissions and how to get them
were taboo at the meeting. Instead
we had an earnest body of 900 men
and women, representing the high
cs1 type of citizenship, who were
irving to find out ways to better
their various communities and there
hy better their state
THE old idea of letting the
buyer beware has passed into the
discard, he said, "and instead the
public is adopting the custom of
consulting the real estate man which
they contemplate purchasing prop
crtv, the same as they would con
>uit Il banker for a financial invest
meut, or Il physician if they We're in
poor health.
Gave Home Towr Talks
Opportunity was gwen for each
representative to give short talk
on his home town. and Hancock
states it was really marvellous IL
learn of the high opinion that cit
izcus in other parts of the state
have OF their home communities
and il made h'm pray that Il similar
spirit may be developed here in In

The little town of Bell. insig-
uificant in size whe compared TO
Los Angeles and San Francisco,
carried off the cup in the home

from that town putting their town
On such high pedestal that none
Of the others even approached it.
Business, us the word is strictly
interpreted, was generally forgotten

ITEMS FROM THE SCHOOL
AND TOWN AT LARGE

In court in Boone during the past
week, presided over by Judge Stack
number of liquor cases came up for
trial and the jurist used his best eff
forts to execute the law fairly. In
some cases he gave suspended SEN
tences with fines, that thereby the
offenders might have a chance to re-
form. The outstanding case was that
of Policeman D. w. Wooten of Blow
ing Rock, who had shot and killed
the Triplett boy near that place some
time ago. Wooten was found guilty
of second degree murder and senten-
ced from three to five years in the
state prison. He took an appeal. Judge
Stack shows the same characteristics
that the writer saw in him as a COL
lege mate, only now more mature
he still stands for the rights of the
State in tn execution of the law and
for the truest good of the law-abiding
citiznes of the state. Criminal court
closed on Friday but the civil docket
will be continued during part of the
week presided over by the recently
appointed Judge Cook.
Miss Ruth, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. J. D. Rankin of the State Nor
NAL at Boone, gave a concert oil the
piano at Rutherford College on Fri
day night. She is an expert in this
special line.
At the State Normal there are
now Ga more college students than
there were at this date last year, or
nearly twice as many, while in the
High School Department there are
fewer than last year at the same date
making an actual increase of Sc. The
entire number is 343, much the lar
gest number the school has had at
this date.

F. Horton were at chapel exercises
on Saturday and Mr.. Higgins conduc-
ted devotional service and made a
talk to the students. Prof. Horton,

BOB" RINEHARDT PASSES
~ TO HIS REWARD

Mr.. Bob Rinehardt of Lincolnton
and Blowing Rock, passed to his re-
ward at his home in the former town
the latter part of last week. He was
one of the most genial, pleasant and
whole hearted men it has been our
pleasure to meet. The following from
the Charlotte Observer is a fitting
tribute to the splendid gentleman and
will be much appreciated by friends
wherever it is read;
But yesterday he was among us
big-hearted, generous-natured, whole
souled Bob Reinhardt-withh his spark
ling eye, his CHEEKY voice, his noble
soul, and now he is but memory
memory as fragrant as the flowers
he loved, with which he surrounded
himsef and among which he moved
in daily delight in his mountain home
For Bob Reinhardt was of a person.

sionally that man of his type is
encountered; there are few friend.
ships of the sort his was. In a way
he was everybodys friend: he had a
heart that envelopcd humankind in
general and with particular room fol
hs associates and friends. The man
does not live who can recall mean
expression from the lips of Robert
Rheinhardt and no man who ever met
him counts himself outside the fold
of his admirers. In business and So
cial life his characteristics were the
same. He was a pioneer in the in
dustrial life of the State, in which
capacity he was an employer of many
laborers He began by treating
these as associates, and throughout
his career he stood steadfastly by
that policy. There was never any
trouble between Mr.. Rhinhardt and
his employees, for there could be no
occasion for that. In the social life,
he could be properly represented as a
Prince. No household in the land
surpassed that over which he presided
in the hospitality that was unassumed,
but of the, generous and lavish kind.
Mr.. Reinhardt was as nearly all
heart as man could be and his heart
was of the kind that pulsated with
love of his fellowman. In fraternal
circles in his part of the State he was
of predominant popularity. His pre-
sence was sunshine and smiles. The
world is a little bit dearer for his
passing from it, and when he is laid
at, rest today his body will be left un-
er,heaps of beauty and fragrance in
floral emblems, and nestled modesty
amongg these, The Observer would
leave a sprig of rosemary for re-
nembrance and a bunch of pansies
for thoughts. ',.-

ANOTHER WATAUCA BOY
DIES IN ARMY SERVICE
Special to the Democrat.

Special to the Democrat.
Brownwood, N. C. Sept. 15.-Mon-
roe Cook, 20 years of age, son of
Roy and Mary Cook, who enlisted in
the United States Army some two
years ago, and who belonged to the
94th Squadron, Air Service, Mount
Clemens, Mich, was killed by drown
ing on Sept. 3, 1925.
The body was shipped to Brown
wood and on last Saturday was buried
with the Stars and Stripes waving
over him at the family grave yard
on the premises of his uncle Joe C.
Phillips, with whom he had lived since
childhood, as both father and mother
died when he was but small lad.
The services were conducted by
Rev. P. H. Haire in the presence of
a large concourse of people, many
being near relatives of the deceased.
Detailed information as to the ex-
act manner in which the boy was kill
ed has not been received, but his
near relatives believe that Monroe
was one of the number who met
their death when a government plane
was wrecked by a gale and fell into
the water on Sept. 3, this being the
same day Cook met his death. The
Federal Government has been asked
to explain further the cause of the ac-
cident.

THE BLOWING ROCK TURNPIKE

In the Spring of 1920, the great
highway known as the Blowing Rock
Turnpike, between Lenoir and the
town on top of the mountains, was
turned over to the State Highway
Commission by the corporation that
had owned and maintained it. The
turnpike was practically gift to the
State and the Highway Commission
bundled it under it's arm as a joyful
possession. 1t did a great deal of
grading and widening and surfacing
and now has the road practically of
the hard surface kind through the
agency of macadam and gravel and
tar, all the way from Lenoir to the
foot of the mountain. The foot is To-
Gated at little cluster of houses
and willow trees a hundred yards
from the point where the nine-miles-
from Blowing rock sign stands, and
where all automobile drivers have to
change gears. For there begins an
ascent Of three thousand feet in nine
miles. 1t is at this point also that
what is called an amendment to the
highway was surveyed, following the
course of the branch up the valley
and coming back into the old road
few miles up the rise. BY this am
endment the heavy grade familiar to
all drivers will be avoided and two
per cent grade established. The old
road runs through a series of wind
ings and deep cuts, and the surface
through that section has not been
touched in a permanent direction,
because of it's fate of ultimate aban-
donment. SO far the State Highway
Commission has had no money other
than that designated for maintenance
purposes to apply to the turnpike.
But the Commission now has the
money and the definite plan for COM
pleting the turnpike the entire length
With the coming of October and the
departure from the mountains of the
summer tourists, the highway from
the foot of the mountain to Blowing
Rock village will be closed The cal
culation is that it will remain closed
for eight months, when it will be op-
ened to the public as a completed
project This decision was arrived at
by Commissioners Kestler and Hanes
few days ago. While the road re-
mains closed the route from Char
lotte to Blowing Rock will be by way
of Statesville, Taylorsville Wilkes
boro and Boone. And while they are
at the turnpike contract, the promise
of the commission for hard-surface
road from Boone into Charlotte will
be fulfilled, for the state road from
Boone to Blowing Rock will be a con
tinuation of the hard-top from Le-
noir. So, long deferred hopes are to
be at last realized and the patience
of the people realized.

TOM JONES MAKES MORE
SCORES AS RIFLEMAN

Special to the Democrat.
Washington, Sept. 15.-Additional
honors as rifleman were won by Ser
geant, Thomas Jefferson Jones, a
native of Scottvile, N. c., in the New
England rifle matches, recently fired
at Wakefield, Mass, according to the
official reports of the matches recen-
tly received at Marine Corps head
quarters here.
Sergeant Jones won the Neidner
Match, fired at 200 yards, rapid fire,
and he also won the Turner match,
fired at 400 yards rapid fire. The U.
5. Marine Team Of which Sergeant
Jones is member, won 13 of the
II matches fired at Wakefield.
Sergeant Jones has won an envia-
Bile reputation as a rifleman since he
joined the Marine Corps several years
ago. He established new world rec
ord at Wakefield in August 1921,
when he made 1873 consecutive bulls
eyes at 800 yards in the Campbell
match. Since that time he has won
scores of shooting medals and prizes.
The records of the Marine Corps
shows that Sergeant Jones is 81 years
old, was born in Scottville, and lived
at the home of his mother, Mrs. Ma
zy E. Jones, Scottville, before he
joined the Marine Corps at Richmond
Va, in 1920. At that time brother
Dr.. j. W. Jones, was resident of
Boone, North Carolina.
