Do you always apply your brakes
properly? When coming to a stop on
a straightaway, shut off the gasoline
throttle and leave the clutch engaged
until just before you come to a stop;
this method of stopping is especially
advisable in wet weather because it
lessons the tendency of the car to skid.
1t also helps to distribute the brahng
power equally, and assists the action of
the brakes. Do not shut off the
ignition until after you have stopped;
it may be necessary to make quick
start.
In going down steep hills or when
descending ordinary hills with heavy
load, put the gears in second or low
speed at the top of the hill and leave
the clutch engaged.
| Brakes should be regularly and
Systematically inspected. Brake Innings
should be inspected each time the
brakes are given careful going over
to be sure that the lining is still useful.
Get the habit of having your brakes
inspected regularly.

Rowan, is being prominently men
toned as a probable candidate for
Governor of North Carolina in
1886.
Press dispatches from Raleigh
during the past week indicate much
pressure will be brought on Mr..
Clement by his friends to induce
him to toss his hat in the guber-
national ring.
Mr.. Clement, when asked if he
would be a candidate for governor
of this state in 1886, declined to
either confirm or deny the report,
or to commit himself.
Friends of Mr.. Clement have al
ready started boosting Rowan's
senator for governor. The last
governor to hail from Rowan
county, was Governor John W.
Ellis, who served from 1853 "a
1862.
Mr.. Clement is well qualified to
fill the office of governor. He is
able, honest, fearless, experienced
and a man of unimpeachable char
acter and reputation, and a man
who would uphold the traditions
Ellis, Vance, Aycock, Glenn,
Craige, and other great governors
of the state.
Mr.. Clement is one of the out
standing leaders of the present
General Assembly,. He is thor
oughly familiar with the economic
and financial problems of the state
and has been long identified with
county and state political affairs
and government.
The next governor Of North
Carolina-if custom prevails-will
come from the western part of the
state. Two other possible candi-
dates are Superior Court Judge
Wilson Warlick of Newton and
Attorney Johnson, of Asheville.
Senator Clement is the eldest
son of the late Hon. Louis Henry
and Mary Carolina Clement. He
was born in Mocksville, Davie
County, September IS, 1889, and
reared in Salisbury. He attended
Horner's Military Academy, and
after several years in the Univer-
sity of North Carolina he took up
the study of law. He was admit
ted to the bar in 1908.
In January, 1907, he was the
first appointee to the newly Great
ed office of Assistant Attorney
General, serving two years. In
1909 he returned to Salisbury and
formed a law partnership with his
Hon. Louis H. Clement, one
Of the outstanding lawyers of the
state. In 1914 he was appointed
by Governor Craige as solicitor of
the Fifteenth Judicial District and
was unanimously elected to that
office in the fall of that year.
In 1918 he was again reelected
District solicitor and served until
He was also chairman of
the Congressional Committee
twice elected Hon. R. L.
Doughton to Congress. In 1880 he
was elected to the State Senate and
became one of the outstanding
leaders in that body. In 1882 he
was reelected to the Senate and APP
pointed Chairman Of Appropria-
tions Committee.
Senator Clement is a member
and former vestryman of St. Luke's
Church at Salisbury, a
Mason and a member of the Sigma
NJ fraternity. On June Is, 1913,
he married Miss Clay Wornall
daughter of Col. J. H.

As a definite step to business re-
covery, a num'ser of Salisbury's
leading property owners and real
estate men are urging bankers of the
city to seek employment Of their
surplus in Salisbury and Rowan
county real estate.
This movement, although unor-
gained as yet, was revealed in a
survey made by The Watchman
this week.
The property owners and real
tors felt the banks should lend
money on secured, first mortgages,
thus giving real estate owners the
encouragement to carry on by
creating a market for good real
estate mortgages and thus lifting
from many property owners the
, fear of foreclosure.
Sound mortgages on real estate
are prime investments, said one
realtor, and the revival of the
mortgage business would be a big
step toward recovery. He urged
that Salisbury concerns should fol-
low the example set by New York
where, beginning with the new
year, all new and renewed first first
mortgages on New York city real
estate placed by the leading title
and mortgage companies of the city
have carried a rate of five per cent
instead of the former rate of five
and one-half per cent. For Sails
bury's present rate of six per cent
to be reduced a half of one per cent
or, better still, n per cent would
be a great help in reviving the
market, it was declared.
If banks, trust companies and
other concerns that nave money to
invest would follow the example
of New York companies, there
should soon be splendid results in
Salisbury it was declared. 1t was
pointed out that a 80 per cent
mortgage, based on current apprais-
ais as established by recognized
authorities is a fine investment,
comparing in safety with a high
grade bond, and-even ON a five per
cent basis-yielding from three
quarters Of one per cent to one per
cent more than can currently be
be obtained from bonds of this
character.
A reduction in interest rate, it
was said, is justified by the trend
of interest On all high-grade invest
ments and also has other import
ance. The important fact is hal
real estate owners would be reliev-
ed of the fear of foreclosure and
would no longer talk down" the
value of real estate as an invest
ment.
Even if the property is earning
che old rate Of interest, the reduc-
ed rate is advisable because of the
fact that earnings over the new
rate might be used to reduce the
principal of the mortgage and thus
would still further adjust the own
er's obligations to present condi-
tions.
Two aims are seen in the move
ment. The first is to bring about
a general readjustment of mortga-
ges to conform with present con-
ditions and the second is to re-
awaken for investors their faith If
the soundness of mortgage invest
mentS.
In working toward the first OBJ.
jective, it has been suggested that
mortgages coming up for renewa
should be scaled down to amount.
consistent with the present value
and income of the properties. Tht
