BIG BUSINESS WILL TUMBLE,
SAYS ROGER w. BABSON

That big business as represented
by the great industrial lines is riding
for fall through the inevitable
working of the business cycle which
has been operative since the time of
the fat and the lean years of the
pharaoahs of Egypt, and that with
the swinging of the pendulum of
prosperity back to agriculture there
might be return to power of the
Democratic party, was the statement
of Roger w. Babson in talk before
a body of representative Florence,
S C. blsinss men at a luncheon in
that city last week.
"Trees do not grow to the skies,
and it is a long lane tnat has no
turning" said Mr.. Babson, "and
while the south is mainly dependent
upon its agriculture may now be ex-
periencing its period of depression, it
is learning lessons which will be the
basis of great prosperity in the years
to come. Personally, l had much
rather invest in the south which is
now below the normal but is headed
toward better times than in other sec
tions which are now very prosperous,
but which are headed for trouble"

14-HOUR SHIFT WILL
SPEED HIGHWAY WORK

A fourtcen-hour shift has been put
on by the engineers in charge of the
construction work on the Lenoir and
Blowing Rock road. This emergency
step was taken in order to rush the
completion of the road before the
main rush of tourists begins to the
mountain region. With the base and
first top coat of stone on, there will
be little rush in putting on the fin
ishing touches. All will be ready for
the last two inches of fine crushed
stone by the first of July, according
to District Engineer C. S. Currier.
Inability to secure detours makes it
necessary to keep the road open for
traffic at all times.
Mr.. Currier has also given out the
information that the road connecting
Boone and Sparta should, with favor
able working conditions, be complet-
ed by the first of the year.

Increased Pensions for
Veterans and Widows
First Check Under New Law Will Be
Received in December of this
Year

The clerk of the superior court of
Watauga county and the county pen
sion board have received the follow
ing letter from Baxter Durham,
state treasurer, in regard to pensions
of Confederate veterans and wild
ows of veterans:
The general assembly of 1927
made certain changes in the pension
laws of the state. A soldier who is
totally blind or who has been para
lyzed and is totally disabled by rear
son thereof, will hereafter draw
S42O year, payable monthly
through the clerk Of the court, in
stead Of $500 as heretofore. &,
All other Confederate soldiers now
on the pension roll, or who are eligi-
bic for pension under the general
pension law, will draw one dollar a
day, payable semi-annually. The
first payment will be in December,
1927 and the second in June, 1928.
The marriage date was also chang
ed. A widow in order to be eligible
for pension must have married prior
to January l, 1880, but widows now
on pension roll by reason of some
previous statutes will not be taken
off.
Class "a" widows who are blind
in both eyes or totally helpless and
confined to the house will receive
$500; all other widows S1OO.
Except as mentioned above, the
general pension law has not been
changed. The property qualification
is still in the law.
The legislature appropriated for
the year beginning July /, 1927,
S500,000 for widows and 100000
for the soldiers, and for the year
beginning July l, 1928, they ap-
propriated $5OO,0OO for widows and
$600,OO0 for soldiers.
The county pension board will
meet at the courthouse here on the
first Monday in July. Any soldier or
widow who desire further information
concerning the provisions of the new
law, or who by reason of infirmities
entitle them to re-classification,
should appear before the board at
that time.
