3-CENT STAMPS TO BE SOLD
IN BOOKS OF II AT 81 CENTS

The only postage stamp book to BE-
issued by the United States postoflc<
department, since the postage rate on
lrst class mail went up to three cents,
will be a book containing II of the
three cent stamps and these will be
sold at 81 cents, the price of the
stamps plus one cent for the little
protection book.
The department issues the three
cent stamps in roll form, the kind
used in stamp selling machines and
some concerns, such as drug stores
may use these for the accommodation
of customers, tearing them from the
roll in such quantities as are des red.
The stamp machine from which the
old two CEN stamp was dispensed are
not usable for the three cent stamp
as there is no way of putting the cor
rect shange in and the workings of
these machines will have to undergo
change before the three cent stamps
can be sold from machines. 1t is very
likely that when these machines are
changed they will provide for the de-
posting Of a dime and getting three
three-cent stamps.
When. the two cent stamps were
sold a nickel deposited in one of these
machines produced two two-cent
stamps, allowing the place operating
the machine a penny profit on either
two two-cent stamps or four one cent
stamps. Of course the n cent stamp
side of the machine is all right yet as
one cent stamps are still serviceable
on post cards or three of them on a
letter.

Jobs for the so-called sin of being
Republicans" according to an edict
issued at a-recent and an unadvertised
and special session Of the city council.
The resolution which at first pre-
sented involved the chief and RePub-
lican members of the fire department
was broadened so as to include every
Republican on the High Point payroll
and although no clerk was present at
the session it was understood to have
been passed unanimously by seven of
the nine council members who were
present.
The resolution is:
"That the city manager proceed
at once to release in a not to
impair service now rendered by the
city, all workers who can notbe class
ed as Democrats and to fill the vac
ancies with Democrats who live with
in the city"
1t was suggested that the test Of
Democracy which is to be applied to
those who work with the city be in
accordance with the rules and regu-
~lations of the High Point Democratic
executive committee. However, no
such criterion was understood to have
been formally adopted.
When the firing is to begin no one
knows just now. Mr.. Knox wouldn't
say.

Most of Anti-Smith Democrats
Here To Back Bob Reynolds

R. Lee Wright's statement that
fully SO per Cent Of the Democrats
who opposed AL Smith in 1923 on
account of his prohibition stand, will
repudiate Bob Reynolds, the Demo-
cratic senatorial nominee, and vote
for Jake Newell, his republican OPP
ponent in the general election Nov
ember 9TH, was pronounced as "just
so much hoo-ey" here yesterday by
prominent Democrats.
Belief was expressed here that fully
IS per cent of the 1928 anti-Smith
Democrats will be found in a solid
phalank for Reynolds.
The Asheville lawyer, who like
Smith, is in favor of repeating the
18th amendment, apparently is quite
popular here, having carried the
county over his dry opponent, Cam
eron Morrison, in the recent primary
by a wide margin.

Roosevelt Outlines His
Political Principles

E.. Separation Of investment bank
ing and commercial banking.
7. Separation of federal reserve
banks, whose funds, prior to 1929,
"were used practically without check
for many speculative purposes"
Of the other two, the governor
said:
Finally l propose two new poll
cies for which legislation is not re-
quired.
"They are policies of far and open
dealing On the part of the admins
tration with the American public.
"In the first place I promise you
hat it will no longer be possible for
international bankers or others to sell
to the investing public of American,
foreign securities on the implied un-
Outstanding that those securities have
been passed Or approved by the
state depart1nent Or any orher -seng
Of the federal government.
SIN the second place, | assure you
that high public officials in the next
administration will neither by word
nor by deed seek to influence the
prices of stocks and bonds"
The governor pointed his attack
on the Hoover administration in this
manner:
81 sum up the history of the last
administration in four sentences:
EFT encouraged speculation and
over-production through its false
economic policies.
eft attempted to minimize the
crash and mis1ed the people as to its
gravity.
eft enormously charged the cause
to other nations Of the world.
ct refused to recognize and cor
rect the evils at home which brought
it forth, delayed relief, and forgot
to reform"

torneys William Harris and George R.
Uzzell. The prosecuting was in the
hands of Attorney Charles Price, Dem
ocratic nominee for county proseeu-
tor. The Court was presided over by
J. Allan Dunn, present county prose
cutor. After much evidence for both
sides was heard the Court adjudged
the defendant guilty of having a 400
pound scrub bull.
The judgment of the Court was as
follows: "The defendant adjudged
guilty of possessing a scrubiniferous
bovine, said bull to be shot at sun
rise, stuffed afterwards and presented
to the Smithsonian Institute as the
horrible example of the type of bull
not to be kept by farmers and dairy
men; and the defendant to show at
the next annual convention that he has
planted his farm in lespedeza, purchas-
ed a billygoat to eat the briars with
which he fed his scrub bull, and to
show by three prominent stock rails
ers that he has purchased three reg
istered bulls, to-wit: a Guernsey, a
Holstein and a Jersey"

Rate Hearings
Are Scheduled

Four electric utilities companies,
doing probably 80 per cent of the
electric business in the state, have
been asked to have representatives
meet with the North Carolina Cor
poration commission during the last
week in August and first week in
September with a view of arriving At
a reduction in rates for service, to be
followed by hearings of gas and tel
ephone~ representatives.
The companies and dates,< with
there or four day intervals, in case Of
long drawn out periods, follows: Car
DINA Power and Light Co., August
-; Durham Public Service Co., Aug
gust 70; Southern Public Utilities
Co., and subsidiaries prior to console
dations, September /; Tide Water
Power Co., September s.
The commission directs these COM
panies to have representatives meet
with it for conferences and Ito be
prepared to present such facts and
data, in writing duly verified, rela-
tive to the operation of your com
pany as may be pertinent to an in
quiry into your rates of charge for
service and particularly with refer
ence to a reduction in such rates."
These companies handle about 80
per cent of the electric current han
died by about 4S companies, and the
smaller one may be heard later. The
commission plans to follow probably
by hearing the three gas companies OF
the IS in the state which do about
80 per cent of the business, and still
later six of the 80 telephone COM
panies, which do about IS per cent OF
the states business, R. O. Self, COM
mission clerk stated.
Smaller companies may be heard
more rapidly after the larger ones
are completed.
Telegraph companies may not be

states enjoy, MI. Self said. The con-
~ferences will be open to the public.
