All Deputies to
Post Bond Under
New Legislation

Sheriff w. A. Garren announced
this morning that he was requiring
all deputies serving under him to
post a $4,000 bond by Saturday or
have their commissions cancelled.
Sheriff Garren explained this
action by saying that interpre-
tations Of the new liquor laws
since the repeal Of the 18th amend
ment and the retaining of the dry
laws by North Carolina had
brought about conditions under
which deputies might under GER
tain conditions become liable for
liquor taken or destroyed.
He added that in fairness to the
sheriff's department he did not
think the department should be
liable for any action taken by
deputies acting within their rights,
but without knowledge of the de-
partment.

FEW LICENSE
ARRESTS HERE

Henderson county is probably
in better shape in regard to the
number of automobiles still car
wing old license plates than any
county in this section, according
TO H. R. Frymoyer, of the state
highway patrol.
MIR Frymoyer stated this morn
ING that he had made only two
arrests of motorists for not nav
ing 1884 plates for their cars:
He stated further that 1t might
appear at glance that a number
of motorists were still using ola
plates but he explained that he
personally had issued 55 receipts
to motorists and that Inspector U.
w. Brooks had probably issued a
like number. These receipts are
issued to motorists who for Varl-
Gus reasons are unable to obtain
plates locally.
He stated that business was
good Yesterday at the local bureau
where plates are sold, and that a
number of motorists had puF-
chased tags for their cars on the
first day of the year.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Dear Editor:
The time has come when we few
remaining good republicans m t
rally around and save the country
again. And of course we must CO.
operate to be strictly up-to-date. So
here we go, will furnish the ideas
and you get them before the people.
The danger that threatens our fair
land is now the asparagus bug.
Now before we can do justice to
the subject we must analyze and thor
oily understand it. In other words,
we must put our selves in the other
fellows place so for the sake Of ar
gument just imagine your self an as
paragus bug for while.
Who and what is he and n o m
whence does he come and what is his
object and purpose in life.
First he is democrat because he
believes in limiting production of
food stuffs. Second, he is also re-
publican for he believes in hogging
every thing in sight. Third, he is a
bolshevik, because he works long
hours for low wages and he is also a
communist for his sole object in life
is to destroy. Religiously he is an un-
civilized barbarian because he works
on Sunday and does not practice
birth control.
Now why is he so much more act
i've this year than ever before. Some
would say it is on account of the de-
lightful Roosevelt winter we have just
enjoyed. But we must look bit deep
er into the subject than that. Person.
ally | am inclined to blame it on re-
peal. This might be a dirty crack to
take at fellow who can't strike back
but Mr.. Repeal will have many things
to answer for in the next few years

Development of the Columbia and
Snake rivers for transportation is of
first Importance to labor and to the
communities in which these laboring
men live.
Any comprehensive development Of
these streams, which we shall refer
to as the "Open River, will give en-
ployment to 5000 to 5000 workmen
during the next two or three years.
There will be no old-tine soup line
haunting honest labor while this pro-
ject is under construction. Families
will be better housed. lothed and
fed.
The fruits of their toll will flow to
the merchant, the grocer, the filling
station, and legitimate places of
amusement. Labor is wealth-produc-
ing, and all will benefit. A maximum
Of labor will be employed per dollar
expended. Engineers usually estimate.
about 80 cents out of every dollar, or
100000 out of every million dollars
of government money expended on
river Improvement goes to labor.
AS the Open River approaches COM
pletion, warehousing facilities must
be provided at many river ports. Lum-
Der and more labor When all is in
readiness, then operation will call for
maintenance and warehousing crews
so long as commerce is transported
and the rivers flow.
Labor's stake in this project begins
when the first shovel of dirt is moved
or the first boulder dislodged from
its eternal resting place. Labor's in
terest in the Open River never ceases.
Thus a project primarily for the ben
eft of agriculture, numbering and
mining, it seems to benefit labor from

EDITORIAL

Spring has been lurking around the
corners for some time, but it is really
here now and in big way. One man
Hesitation of this fact is found in the
Indifference of students toward their
lessons. 1t is all very well to study
when there is nothing else to do and
it is cold outside, but when the birds
start singing and trees and flowers
are out it is a different thing. There
is certain affliction, commonly call
ed 'spring fever" that overtakes the
mind and spirit and puts a stop to all
industrious effort.
Another evidence of spring is seen
on the ditchbanks by the schOolhouse.
Every afternoon groups of swimmers
find their way to the 'beach" for
a refreshing dip. The early swimming
season probably ACCOUNTS in some
measure for the lack of interest in
studies. And why shouldn't it? Warm
weather seems to dull the mind and
require other activity.
Spring is also a season for bicycl-
ing and roller skating. AS you walk
down the street of an evening you
meet various loving couples, some
skating or bicycling, and others just
strolling. Still others can be found
on the park benches. ST.
These are only few Of the things
that tell us "Spring is here" but in
all, it is a glorious season.
