WRITER SCORES
WITH RADIO
POLITICS

Fair response TO patient tuning
was possible last evening, although
there was considerable noise In the
mir. high power brOadcasts could be
tuned through II. Regular fading,
which seems TO be an evidence OF
clearer atmospheric conditions
when IL happens on habituaI faders,
was more noticeable than for some
time.
In the talk of Walter Lippinan,
magazine writer and editorial di-
rector Of the New York World, the
Voters Service program presented
radio audiences last evening with.
about as fine an example Of real
radio technique in political talks as
could be desired. Last week occa-
sion was made to point out that
such typical orations as was made
BY Senator Key Pittman Of Nevada
would cause people to tune out the
Voters Service political course Of
information. Just the opposite was
the effect Of the representative Of
the Democratic point Of view last
evening.
Nor was the address Of Under
secretary Ogden L. Mills. very TAR
behind Mr.. Lippnnan in clear and
interesting statement although Mr..
Mills spoke in very distinct
partisan manner and Mr.. LippmaIl
endeavored to be non partisan. Il
Is possible that the habit Of mind
developed by writing for newspapers
ana magazines for a large and
nlisceIIa audience Of readers
the writer can never hope to fully
know, has something to do with
exbertness in making radio talks
interesting. 1t is q fact that many
cf the best radio talks have been
made by writing men who are not
usually good takers and are lost
on the stump. Whatever It is---
talks Of the character and in the
manner Lippman gave last evening
viii make the Voters Service a very
positive force educationally. be-
cause they are intensely interesting
and entertaining

GOV. SMITH RECEIVES GREAT
WELCOME IN WEST CAROLINA

Asheville, April 13.--Governor AL
Smith of New York came to North
Carolina today to take vacation
but he brought with him an old
ruddy smile and brown derby that
point to more than a few rounds
upon the golf courses of this vicinity.
The smile may be simply the habit
of years and again it may have aris-
en- from the warmth of the reception
that was his at every town between
Salisbury and here. For it was
wonderful welcome for a man COM
ing into the enemy's country. From
early dawn at Salisbury where there
were faithful few to greet him to
the full daylight of Biltmore plaza
seemed to have turned out to greet
a presidential tour. 1t was enough
to make AL smile and smile he did,
with all the contagiousness that has
been his since he became the idol
OF New York.
But the brown derby was dehber-
ately chosen. With the bright sunny
weather and the anticipation of
sport to come Smith might we'll have
worn pearl grey hat or light felt
But instead he selected the brown
derby and at Biltmore he told his au-
dience why: "Well, so | wouldn't dis
appoint you, l brought along my
brown derby" Those were the words
with which he opened his talk at
Biltmore plaza. Later there may be
those who will say they were the
keynote of his address. At any rate,
vacation or no vacation. Governor
Smith is here to win that part of the
south which did not line the South
ern railway tracks this morning as
his special car passed through the
foothills of North Carolina.
The governor hardly converted
any ''immortals" this morning by
the talk he made at Biltmore. APP
parently the governor didn't come
south to talk, and if talk he must,
apparently he was determined to say
nothing he did this morning, but
with that he spoke in a manner, at
tractive and entirely apart from the
usual run of political gossip.
First, he explained that he had
Travelled little during his long and
busy career, largely on account of
the strenuous position as governor.
After talking few minutes about
the governors job, he told how he
had been impressed by the welcome
given him and by the concrete roads
he had seen through his car window.
And then he ended, 81 am satisfied
Pm going to enjoy myself while Pm
here. Pm pleased and happy to be
in your midst. You have given me
a great welcome. l hope to meet
you all personally before l leave"

TIME IS SHORT FOR
TAX PAY MENTS
Sheriff Must Furnish Commission
ers With List of All Unpaid Taxes
on First Monday in May, and Sale
Will Be Ordered Thereafter

Taxpayers have less than two
weeks in which to pay their 1927
taxes before being advertised. The
statute provides that tax collectors
must furnish the board of county
commissioners with lists of unpaid
taxes on the first Monday in May
and that the property must be ad-
vertised for four weeks and sold on
the first Monday in June.
Sheriff Farthing stated Monday
morning that about $105,000 in
taxes are still due, but of course
that amount will be considerably re-
duced by the next first Monday
The county commissioners have
no alternative in the matter of or
dering the sale. The law is manda-
tory and must be complied with.
Section of Chapter 213, Public
Laws of North Carolina, 1927 ses-
sion, says:
Sec. 4. . He (the sheriff)
shall on the first Monday in May re-
port in full all uncollected taxes for
the current year, and the county
COMMISSIONERS SIldll llSltupOI OluCl
sale of all land for taxes where the
taxes have not been paid to be made
on the first Monday in June" ..
Section 6 of the same chapter
provides: "On the first Monday in
July the sheriff or other tax col
lecting officer shall make full and
complete settlement with the county
for all taxes due the county or its
special subdivisions"
Sec. of the law provides: ANY
county commissioner who shall vote
to deliver the tax list and receipt
books to any sheriff or tax collector
for the succeeding year, when settle
ment has not been made as herein
provided of the taxes for the pre-
vious year, shall be individually liza
BILE for the amount of taxes due by
sheriff or tax collector"

ROAD COMMISSION BUYS
TWO GRADING MACHINES S

Mr.. Carter Farthing, of the coun,
ty road commission, said Monday
that the commission had purchased
two graders, which would be deliver
ed by the first of May, and until
their arrival, very little grading
could be done, as it would require
the expenditure of considerable
amount of money to repair the old
machines. This will not delay work
to any great extent, as work one
county roads before the first of
May, because of weather conditions,
was expensive and unsatisfactory.
However, with the arrival of the
new graders and the coming of good
weather, the road commission hopes
to begin considerable work on all
roads of the county.

Yonahlossee Road Will
Become Federal Hiway
Specifications Call for Road Thirty
Feet Wide From Blowing Rock
to Avery County Line
By RUPERT GILLETT

Blowing Rock, April 18.-The
Yonahlossee Road, famed scenic
highway of the Grandfather section
from here to Linville, is being sur
veyed according to specifications for
Federal highways, with a view to its
becoming Federal highway some
time in the future, according to
engineers in charge of the survey
ing.
These specifications call for a
road thirty feet wide from here to
the Avery county line, and 26 feet
wide from there to Linville. The
surveyors have already run their
lines half way from here to Grand
father Mountain.
1t has become known here that the
Black Bear Trail Association will
attempt to have that national high
way made a federal road when all
the links are completed. The Yon-
ahalossee Road will be one of the
most important of these links, as il
provides the finest scenery of the en-
tire route and is itself the original
Black Bear Trail, the name Yonah
lossee being the Cherokee word fol
Trail of the Bear.
In this connection, it is being ru
mored here that certain Influential
citizens are promoting 4 plan which
will make available to the public
the beautiful McRae estate d. the
foot of Grandfather Mountain, 4 2C
that this estate, if the plan goe:
through, will become a part of {
great park system running from the
Shenandoah to the Great Smok!
Park.
Surfacing of the Yonahlossee, it il
understood here, will be started a
soon as possible after the surveying
is completed. The only other un
completed link of the Black Bea
Trail in North Carolina-state high
way No, 69-is rapidly being finish
ed between Todd and Boone. Th
steam shovel work has all been fin
ished to where the road joins No
60, two miles east of Boone. Whel
these two roads are finished, Nortl
Cardinals section of the St. Law
-to-Miami highway will hav
| been completed.

Hoover Claims 259, Lowden 185
Washington, April 4.-Claiming
that Governor Lowdens advocacy of
farm rleief is giving him growing
strength in the east and that there
are now 1876 delegates pledged to
him, Clarence F. Buck, campaign
manager fer the former Illinois exc
cutive, returned to the capital today
filled with optimism Mr.. Buck de-
clared that Lowden has as much
strength in New York as sny Repub-
lican candidate and that his predic-
ton that the latter would have a
substantial block of delegates is true
to a greater extent than he had
thought. He also exp'ri5ed the
opinion that Gov Lowden will not
answer the Borah prohibition ques-
tionnaire and intimated that the
Anti-Saloon league knows his can
didate as a dry.
Il firmly believe that Governor
Lowden will be nominated at Kansas

D. B. DOUGHERTY HELPED TO
EDIT DEMOCRAT IN OLD DAYS

The story which has gone the
rounds of the state papers, written
by Mr. Rupert Gillett in regard to
the early days of The Democrat fail
ed to mention the fact that D. B.
Dougherty, father of the Professors
Dougherty of the Normal, was one
of the original owners of the news
paper, having acted in the capacity
OF editor for several years, r. c.
Rivers having been the publisher of
same from the beginning. The story
was related to Mr. Gillett without
this bit of information, and this cor
rection is gladly made in memory of
the genial old gentleman who was
the loyal partner of the present pub
Usher in those days.
