PROSPERITY
. IN AUTO RACING
: New Achievements Also
Brought in Many Parts
of Speed World.

Automobile racing in 1884 fulfilled
every prediction of prosperity made
year ago and the season just closed
=, brought new achievements in many
departments of the speed world.
!. "A record attendance of more than
. one and one-half million persons saw
100 races conducted under sanction of
the Contest Board Of the American
Automobile Association, including four
national championship events.
Probably the outstanding major de-
velopments Of the year were: The
new speed records of the famous In
dianapoNs Motor Speedway in the
May 30 International 500-mile Sweep
stakes, discovery Of q new fuel de-
signed to bring greater economy to
everyday motoring, the beginning Of q
revival of stock-car racing on spe-
cially constructed courses, expected
to carry over more intensely into
1885.
Bill Cummings, winner Of the Deco
ration day classic at Indianapolis, to
become national champion maintained
. supremacy which many times dur
ing the year was threatened by Mauri
Rose, who finished second in the 500.
Sectional titles went to: Eastern
States, Johnny Harmon of Norristown,
Pa; Midwestern States, Al Theisen
Of Dayton, Ohio: Pacific Coast, Rex

mobile dealers into an aggressive
group. The main objective was to
purge their own business Of bad trade
practices and cut-throat competition.
In short. the N. A. D. A. became
the vehicle to save the motor vehicle
trade. It gave life and power to the
automobile dealers code under N. r.
A., with President Vesper on one hand
and Chairman Vesper on the other,
co-ordinating the whole.
As the trade approaches the second
year Of its activities. with fair trade
practices firmly established and the
vast majority Of the dealers in favor
Of maintaining them, according to re-
cent surveys announced by N. A. D.
A. and other agencies, it is generally
conceded by the dealers that there is
a straight road ahead for them In
1885. It Is paved with the basic prin-
ciples and benefits established from
the experience Of eliminating bad
Grade practices, in the opinion Of
those who have devoted their best
energies In correcting the old evils.

STOPPING AND STARTING
CAR GREATLY VARIES
Older Auto Takes Longer to Speed
Up and Longer to Come to
a Stop.

Speaking Of speed reminds me to
suggest q test. Take your car out
to some lightly travelled road and
note how much distance is required
to reach some particular speed in the
higher bracket. Next try the brakes
to see how much space is required
for bringing the car to a safe stop,
including loss Of time transferring
your foot from the accelerator to the
brake pedal. The car, II one Of the
newer varieties, will stop quickly. but
perhaps not SO confidently as it got
away. Older cars took longer to work
up to high speed, and longer to stop.
There has been q somewhat illogical
and often dangerous assumption that

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, January 1.-THE
first year Of the automobile dealers
code constitutes an epoch that rivals
the most romantic tales Of industrial
history, in the opinion Of those who
have followed it closely. First came
the adoption Of the code provisions.
Next was the thorough organization
of more than 10000 dealers Of the
United States to uphold those pro-
visions.
All Of the progress has been, and Is
now, under the leadership and man.
agement of F. w. A. Vesper Of st.
Louis. He Is president Of the National
Automobile Dealers Association, which
issues the official guide book that
places a top limit on allowance prices
for used cars, and he also Is chairman
of the National Control Committee Of
the Motor Vehicle Retailing Trade.
The year will come to climax with
the annual convention, January 14-15.
to be held for the first time in the
capital Of the automobile industry,
Detroit.
Compared With Lands.
Mr.. Vesper has been compared, In
his relation to the automobile retail
ing trade, to Judge Lands. czar of

at N. A. D. A. headquarters in st.
Louis with such appellations, he may
not take time out from his multi
tudinous duties to argue over the title
Of Judge" He will draw the line at

Auto Dealers Held Thriuing
Under Leadership Of Vesper

"czar." His friends will say, however.
that the designations were inspired by
their desire to pay tribute to his lead
ership and genius for organization.
The record will show that organiza-
ton has been the vital factor which
has brought success to the dealers
code, together with the fact that the
dealers, as now organized, are in con-
troll of both the code and their own
buSineSs-and are self governing.
They generally agree 1t was Mr.. Ves-
per's ability, proved In another crisis
in 1917, to unite the thousands Of
dealers for the common defense of
their business, that resulted in the
salvation Of the trade In the emer-
gency now passing.
Vesper's friends most frequently
refer to him as the father Of N. A.
D. A." because it was he and his as
sociates who first united the dealers
In the national body. This was back
when the United States entered the
World War, and factories were being
turned into munition plants. Through
that initial organization, the indus
try was saved from being obliterated
by the War Industries Board as non
essential during the war-inflamed
period.
Ohlcial Washington then had little
conception Of the magnitude Of the
automotive field, Vesper reported to
the organization. However, the in
dustry's influence in national recovery
has been universally recognized in a
later conflict-the recent war on de-
preston.
Bottom Hit in 1898.
It was in 1888 when this trade
with all other industrial and financial
institutions, hit the bottom in the
economic chaos that was engulfing
the world. The Vesper influence and
leadership spontaneously was called

ONE KILLED
Many Hurt in Textile Strike
Shootings

Pelzer, S. C. (ILNS)-A woman
Of y, mother Of two children, was
killed outright and an old man NOR
tally wounded in a shooting affray at
the textile mills of the Pelzer Manu-
featuring Co. At least Is other were
wounded, some of them severely. A
number Of strikers were arrested.
Strikers charge the shooting was
begun from the mill, the bullets COM
ing from Browning miniature ma
chine guns, supplied by the manage
ment to members Of the Good viii
Association" company union.
The shooting started when a man
named j. t. McDougal broke through
the picket line with his automobile to
take his son to work in the mill.
Discharges Bring Strike
The strike started July Is, after a
period Of six weeks in which from 30
to 60 union workers had been dis
charged or laid off. The last straw
that broke the workers patience was
the dismissal of a weaver ON the
ground of defective work. The ma
tlonal guard was sent to Pelzer the
next day, July 16. The Textile Labor
Relations Board sent mediators to the
scene, who worked out proposals
which the strikers accepted and the
company refused.
The company then proposed that the
strike be called off at once, that Jobs
be given Immediately to 100 strikers
and that the other $50 strikers who
were not accused Of violence would be
put to work when jobs were available
The strikers refused.
Mill Management Blamed
Representative H. C. Godfrey, and
president of the South Carolina Tex
tile Workers, has issued statement
saying:
If the management Of the Pelzer
mills had listened to the advice of the
governor Of South Carolina, this sad
calamity would not have happened"
The state troops were recalled after
30 days of guard duty, and the shoot
ing occurred the next day. The
troops We're sent back following the
clash, All the persons shot were in
nocent bystanders or pickets.

BOWIE AND THE
EXAMINERS

People over the State who have
even a passing acquaintance with the
Ashe County cattle-raiser, farm pro-
moter, lawyer and statesman, Tam
Bowie, entertained feeling of conf
dence that he would be heard from
before the legislative session was
ended they were not to be dis
appointed. Tam brings forward a
topic of State Banking Department,
the occupation of which has been
largely confscated by the Federal
Administration. This is a matter the
has been under more or less discus
sion over the State in recent days
and the evidence in the case points
to the possibilities of bringing about
possible reform, but in the way of
eliminating a surplus service and in
saving the taxpayers of the State a
measurable mount of money. AS
Bowie makes out the case, there ap-
pears possibility of instituting a move
that will result in bringing about a
welcome bit Of economy in one branch
of the service at Raleigh and all at
loss of only few State jobs. But
when it comes to cutting the boys
out of a job, the legislators are dis
posed to hem and haw. Certainly it
looks like there is no necessity. for a
large number of bank examiners and
there seems to be opportunity for
exercise of the salary and expense

MORE COUNTY
NEWS NEEDED

Elsewhere in this issue is letter
from an out-of-state subscriber which
carries well-directed criticism in re-
gard to our lack Of news from, vari-
Gus parts of the county. The mail
service in the county is so arranged
that it takes two day for mail to
come to West Jefferson from many
of the postoffices. The Skyland Post
goes to press Wednesday night. Con-
tributors usually wait until after
Sunday to write news. If it is not
mailed Monday, it seldom reaches us
until Wednesday when the paper is
already set up and ready to print.
The news is then held until next week
and the one who sent it in feels that
it has failed to receive the proper
appreciation and loses interest.
The Skyland Post is eager to have
news of interest to. all Of it's readers
and will be glad to make satisfactory
arrangements with persons throughout
the county for writing news.

Gold seems to be done for tempo

spoken, but the gold decision has left
Congress with some scratching OF
