Hoover-Democrats
Are Due a Jolt

Those in North Carolina who
voted for Hoover on the grounds
that they did not like the immigra-
ton views of Governor Smith should
prepare themselves to receive a
rough Jolt" said Representative
Lindsay Warren, VINO is a member
of the important House committee
on immigration and Naturalization.
"One of the first official acts OF
Mr.. Hoover" said Mr.. Warren, lis
to call upon his large party ma
iority in Congress to repeal the Ma
tional Origins provisions of the I'm
migration Act of 1924 and it will be
done. Political coWardice and
trucking to aliens has caused this
necessary and proper provision of
the law to pe postponed each year
for four years. On Sunday March
3rd., the Republicans made a
desperate effort to again postpone
it, keeping the House IN session all
day, but the Senate adjourned and
it failed. without presidential and
congressional interference the pro-
vision would become part OF the
law on July lSt.
National Origins has been en-
dorsed by every patriotic body in
America; the American Legion. the
D. A. r. and the Junior Order being
foremost in their advocacy of it. Its
repeal means the beginning of ar
assault upon the integrity of ou
immigration policy by those mflu'
enccs that desire to wipe the whole
measure from the statute books

ing chains powered by the gasoline
engine bring the logs from the
ground beside the rail road track
to the log carriage on the flat car.
The boards when sawn are loaded
on flat cars on the spot, transported
to the company's wharves on the
river, loaded on barges and shipped
direct to Baltimore. Philadelphia
and other Eastern points.
If the first of these portable band
saw mills, capable of producing H.
600 board feet of lumber a day,
proves as satisfactory as its inven-
tors believe it will, the company will
build ten to twelve additional mills
of the same type.
The Foreman-Blades Lumber Co.
has introduced many innovations in
the lumber manufacturing business.
Before the FordSon tractor was per-
fected, they had found a way TO
gear a Model T Ford to a rail road
cars wheels and pull their logging
trains with Fords. doing away with
cumbersome. expensive and danger
GUS locomotives.
The portable band saw mills which
they now propose to use are not eA-
pected to curtail production In their
big mill at Elizabeth City, Their Sd"
mills on flat cars will be used only
in tracts of timber remote from the
big mill.

Getting logs out of the woods,
loading them on cars or barges and
transporting them to the mill in
Elizabeth City where they have to
be unloaded again is a costly part
of the operation of this lumber COM
pany. Now the portable saw mill
is no new thing the woods are full
of them. But the portable saw mill
in general use is a circular saw mill
and it does not produce the finished
product of band saw mill.
The Foreman Blades Lumber co.
has more than $4,000 acres of stand
ing timber in Northeastern North
Carolina. much of which is in Ber-
tie county. From the forests OF
BERTHE the logs have to be trans
ported by rail to the waters OF the
Cashie River where they are loaded
on barges and then toWed to the
big double band saw mill in Eliza
beth City.
And so Roscoe and Harold Fore
man set to work to build band saw
mill on a rail road flat car and have
succeeded in perfecting their first
such mill which went into operation
| in BERTHE. near Windsor last week.
A regulation saw mill carriage and
54 inch band saw is mounted on q

Grated with so H. P. gasoline en-

FcltCn Garrett eStabli"hed a new
hardware busineS in this city three
wears ago some of the old timers
shook their ncadS and opined that
there wasn't room for another hard
ware store in Eizabsth City. Br.
they didn't know these Garrett
boys: they put smiles and warmth
and salesmanSnip into the hard
ware business: they called them
selves The Hardware HuStlers" and
lived up to it. Felton, Garrett had
had years of experience in the
hardware business as clerk for the
late Aydlett Hardware company,
Poland Garrett had owned and
operated one Of the livest and most
successful reighGourhood groceries
in town. Combining their talents,
experience. energy and resources
they went into the hardware buSl-
ness with an enthusiasm that shock
ed some of the easy-going old timers.
TODAY the Garrett Hardware Co. IS
cne CT the most successful young
businesses in Elizabeth City. You
don't hear much complaint about
the mail order houses around their
store: they've got something the
mail order houses can't give their
trade: a cordial greeting and court"-
Gus personal service for every GUS

The world is full of ailing mortals
who are willing to testify TO any
thing under the sun and tell their
friends all about the Miraculous
Medicine that cured them OF The
heber- -jeebies almost overnight. in
exchange for a little free medicine
and publicity on the side.
Several weeks ago salesman pps
into Elizabeth City with thousands
of circulars and free information
about "Samas," the Wonder Medi-
cine," guaranteed to cure what
ever Ails you,' or your money back.
He established himself with a local
drug store and put on an extensive
advertising campaign over in the
Second Ward and in the rural sec
tions. In few days he had all the
testimonials he could handle; by
giving away a bottle of his wonder
medicine free with each testimonial,
in addition to having the sufferers
picture made to order to use with
the testimonial. 1t was understood
that the picture was to be the prop
erty of the testator after the "SamaS
Man" was through with it,. There
seems to have been grand rush
for free photographs.
There were dozens who were will.
ing enough to testify to anything
fer the sake of having their picture
made to order and a little free ad-
vertisement. They signed cleycrly
written testimonials about the new
Wonder Tonic" with the picture
thrown in and the shekelS began
to roll in. More and more Wcgo
eager to testify what "SGmas" naa
done for them and everything vent
all right with the Samas Man until
the cured" failed to stay cured. IL
turns out the Samas Man and his
Wonder working remedy weren't 50
miraculous after all. A check on
his testators shows many who have
been testifying every time some
body; has a wonder working con-
coction to sell, many of whom never
got beyond the first bottle as was
j. E. Gard, BOT Parsonage Street,
who testified that he had terrible
pains in his back and legs and was
run down generally, when TIC SanaS
Man called on him. After taking
several bottles of The wonder
Medicine" he improved SO rapidly
i that he felt it his duty to recon-
mend it to his friends.
! j. E. Gard is in everything but
run down condition. He IS a huek"
if not healthy looking old man who
tips the scales at $50 to 300 pounds.
He says that he had been intending
: to try the medicine, but just hadn't
gotten to it. His wife took some Of
it, he says and his daughter tried
! to take it for her heart trouble, but
the first swallow nearly finished her.
She says she's willing tC give the
Samas Man a testimonial however,
because she would like to have her
picture taken for the house.
And so it goes. The Samas Man"
is the modern patent medicine
faker. Tying up with a respectable
druggist, buying advertising space
in respectable newspapers and Duy-
ing testimonials from CrcduioES and
thrifty mortals, he bambOozlcs a gul-
lible public. The newspapers, the
druggist and the SamaS man take
the coin and the poor are the VIC
tins. In more enlightened age
the medical fraud who attempts
such practices and the druggists and
newspapers that aid and abcC MIN
will be incarcerated with C1ucr
criminals.
