WHEN THE PARTIES AGREE

When, in times like these, the two major political
parties can agree on an issue, there can be little doubt
concerning its importance. That is true in the matter
of silver. Both the Republican and Democratic plat
forms carry planks advocating an international con-
ference on monetary problems, with a view to stabiliz-
ing silver.
The word International in that sentence should be
stressed. No nation can prevent the degradation of
of silver until other great powers jon with it and agree
on a cooperative plan: The fact that luminous silver
prices have deprived half the world Of a large part of
its buying power and brought international trade to
the lowest level in decades, points the need for decisive
and immediate action.
Every government is interested in silver. So is every
business and every citizen. 1t is a problem of world
wide scope-and at the same time it is a problem which
narrows down until it affects the prosperity of every
home in the land. Silver also plays an important part
in the development of our lead and copper mining in
dustries.

I THANK YOU.

and cheerfully as a token of appre-
citation for the great things that they
did for their contry. Every dollar
that has been prom sed should be
paid, and paid as a great privilege in
stead of duty or obligation.
l heard of someone making fun of
the boys sitting around Washington,
and they said that President Hoover
was not going to do anything for
them. He should and that gladly,
and why? These very boys that have
have been sitting around his feet made
it possible for him to be president.
If they would not have fought as
bravely as they did, he would not be
where he is today. You and l would
not be enjoying this great common
wealth as we are at the present time.
We lads or kid brothers could not be
attending the fine schools and COL
leges as we are, but we would be pay
ing billions of dollars to our landlord
Germany.
Today it is hard for us to realize
just what the American boys did for
the world in the world war, but if
the war would have been lost and you
and many generations yet to come
would have bitterly suffered from this
great disaster. So in conclusion, I
say that the American boys deserve
the very best our nation can afford
and the honor and respect of the en-
tire world.

Mr.. E. B. Jeffress, Chairman,
State Highway Commission:
Ny Dear Nj. Jeffress:
Your plan of employment of labor
for the new highway construction
program should meet the approval of
the people of the state, as it will SER
We to prevent the chaotic conditions
that might develop from a sort of
free-for-all scramble of unemployed
men all over the state seeking jobs. In
my opinion the commission could
hardly have worked out a better
scheme than to designate a certain
group of counties adjacent to each
construction project and employ labor
only from the respective areas recon-
mended by the county and state well

Hon. O. Max Gardner,

Ma Dear Ca,yox~ox

Governor OF North Carolina.
My Dear Governor:
The program you and the high
way commission are working out
for the use of the money made avail
able for road work and the relief of
the destitute unemployed in the state
doubtless meets with general aprov-
al. 1t is noteworthy that the more
than five million dollars TO be ex-
banded in highway work, as aPpro-
p~riated by congress, and also that to
be obtained for relief through the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
is to be spread out in order to benefit
the greatest practical number Of peo-
pie; that the relief fund is to be dis
tributed mainly through the high
way commission in return for labor,
and that none is to be given to able
bodied men except in exchange for
work, as far as employment can be
provided. That policy should meet
general aprovalI Incidentally you
do we'll to remind the citizens that
the chief burden of providing relief
for the destitute will fall upon the
local communities and counties, as
heretofore, and that they cannot
look to the state to relieve them of
the obligation.
Governor Matthew Rowan.
Mr.. Cbas. E. Lambeth, President,
North Carolina Municipal Association
My Dear M. Lambeth:
1t is interesting to note that senti-
ment in faivor of placing upon the
state the responsibility for mainten-
ance of streets that are parts of state
highways is growing. Since the pro-
posal was advanced first by the mum
icipal association last year, / have
noted that it has gained the support
of newspapers and individuals, and
1 believe that if given thorough con-
sideration by the next legislature it
is not unlikely that the plan will be
adopted.
In many of the towns and cities
the streets that are used as state high
ways, constructed and maintained
by the municipalities, are being rap
idly worn out by heavy traffic pas
sing through, including freight
trucks and passenger buses. The peo-
>ple of the municipalities must pay
heavy taxes to build and maintain
the roads between towns, but the
state contributes nothing to the up
keep of these highways inside the
corporate limits.

Sitting On Top OF The World

Salisbury and Rowan county are sitting on top OF the
world. In many ways the depression has touched her conmun-
tiles lightly.
In Rowan county there are several thousands people at
gainful employment.
Our financial institutions are solid and we'll managed.
1t is possible for our people to stimulate trade and COM
merce by a very simple medium.
Thousands and thousands of dollars are sent out of Row.
an county during twelve months period. For no better reason
than many folks believe the green fields are over the hill while
in reality they are at our very door. Every dollar spent among
outside merchants in a measure is lost dollar. 1t ceases to
function for the good of Rowan county.
Local merchants can quote prices that are a match tor
any mercantile institution for style and quality. We believe
prices are lower than many others on account of rent and
small overhead expenses.
As your ship is located in Rowan county it would be to
your interest to become enthusiastically imbued with a spirit
of loyalty to Rowan county and its best interests.

For the first time in the history of

This ore was discovered after sink

Gold Hill by this company.
A large force of men are employed
daily. At one time as many as 70 were

company has paid over $1,000 in pay
rolls.
This company has leased for ten
years 900 acres in fee and the min

This land lies in three counties, Row

PUTTING THE OLD TOWN ON

PUTTING THE OLD TOWN ON
THE MAP
I've lived a long and happy life,
Been here and there for many a year,
But am always glad when l get back
To find the old town on the map
Put there by ON aspiring soul
Who yearned to serve his fellow man
And lead him onward to the goal
The lime-light and grand stand.
At her ripe age, it would appear
She'd stay put and never stir.
The surmise's wrong for everyone
Still strives to get her on the map.
Like the onery horse to water led
A fact proclaimed from earliest
time
1t wouldn't drink, only snort and snap,
Same as the old town at map!
I wonder why our fathers failed
To plant their town on stable
ground?
Chasing Indians? red coats mayhap?
Or blazing trails, forgot the map!
Years followed years-time to gel
right
But they flew the coop, began tt
fight
In sixty, hence this oversight
To put the old town on the map!
