1t is interesting to observe that
six OF the members of the Su-
preme Court have passed the re-
firing age of 70 years. The old
est member of the Court is Justice
Brandeis, 70, and the youngest,
Justice Roberts, who is 60. The
ages of the other Justices follow
Stone. So; Cordozo. 65; Butler.
70; Hughes and Sutherland, 10:
McReynolds, "a; and Van Devan-
ter, 76. 1t is worth noting that
the ages of the Justices apparent
ly have little influence upon the
attitudes taken, as there is only
a few years difference in the age
average of the so-called liberal
and conservative groups. In fact.
the oldest member OF the Court
is distinctly Liberal and the
youngest is usually classified as
Conservative.

Get Cooperation of Business
Men in West Jefferson

The West jefferson Hosiery Mill
opened for work this week under
the management of r. ]. Randolph,
of johnson City, Tenn, who has had
eighteen years of experience in the
hosiery mill business.
Mr.. Randolph states that he ex-
poets to ask the business men in the
city to cooperate with him in get
ting the mill on a firm basis. He
hopes to put in finishing mill and
manufacture hosiery, completed,
here. In the past the mills here have
only knitted the articles and they
have been sent elsewhere for finish
ing.
With the backing Of the business
men of the city, Mr. Randolph is
confident that the mills can be made
to establish a good payroll for the
county. He says the town has Won
derful possibilities and that the To-
cal help is sufficient to guarantee
success.

Survey Continues
for Identification
Promoters of Proposed Project
Feel Certain of its Approval;
Survey Continues
G.J RICH)

A number of the committeeman in
the rural identification drive for
Ashe met at the courthouse on Mon
day to keep in touch with the prog
ress being made on getting up the
necessary information for the pro-
posed project. The following town
ships were represented and town
ship maps with surveys presented:
Chestnut Hill, Creston, Elk, Grassy
Creek, Hurricane, Horse Creek, Jeff
erson, Laurel, North Fork, Obids,
Old Fields, Peak Greek, Pine Swamp
and Walnut Hill.
1t was decided by those in attend
ance at the Monday meeting that
the work of surveying should be
continued until the surveys are COM
plete and that the major benefits be
made known to the citizens of the
various sections of the county and
their subscriptions obtained. When
this has been done, it is confidently
hoped that the project will be APP
proved and Ashe county given the
conveniences equal to those enjoyed
by other sections Of the state. The
promoters of the project feel that
this is an opportunity that the
county may never have again, and
two much. diligence cannot be
shown in any and all efforts shown
to secure the vast benefits it repre-
sents for the county.

for Refund Of Money
County Attorney Claims That
County Is Due Refund of
Money from State

Judge T. G. Bowie, attorney for
Ashe county, made a powerful plea
in behalf of the county in Asheville
last week when he with number of
other attorneys presented their
claims for highway funds before a
special commission created by the
last General Assembly to hear such
claims. Judge Bowie was at his best
on a subject in which he is vitality
interested. He maintained that the
state is due the county a refund of
$750,000 on road funds paid by the
citizens on the road bonds since the
state took over the expenses of the
highways in 1881. Reports are that
Judge Bowie's plea was the OUT
standing event of the day.

were: Wilkes, $1,058,O00; Watauga,

Rescued Spaniards
Tell of Horrorible
Events in Fortress

Spanish survivors in the Civil
War now raging in Spain told of the
horror of the 42-day siege of Tole-
dos Alcazar Tuesday night while
their Fascist resources drove on
Madrid.
The insurgent columns were re-
ported seven miles out of Toledo
along the 4O-mile Toledo Madrid
highway. Warplanes, these reports
said, covered the advance.
Government defenders Of Madrid
ordered leaders of their retreating
troops to "shoot the cowards," who,
newspaper stories declared, were
demoralizing government resistance
by throwing away their guns and
running away.
The government leaders continued
urgent appeals for 5000 additional
''brave men,"
The captain of the Preach vessel
Koutoubia wirelessed Marseille on
Tuesday night that he had rescued
40 men, all wounded, from the
Spanish government destroyer Al
mirante Fernando, shelled and sunk
by the insurgent cruiser Canarias off
Gibraltar.
The Alcazar survivors, tossing on
their cots at Talavera de la Reina,
muttered their tales of the anguish
the 1900 men, women and children
lived through before they were res
cued by the comrades in the capture
of Toledo.

hours are more reasonable and
working conditions more sanitary.
Extravaganza Cry Answered
Answering the cry Of the Republi-
can party that the Roosevelt Admin
istration is thoughtlessly extrava-
CANT. Mr.. Doughton answered by
saying that the Hoover Administra-
ton increased the national debt six
billion dollars with conditions con-
tinuously growing worse. The Roose-
welt Administration had increased
the debt eleven billion dollars but
two billion should be deducted from
that amount which was paid in the
soldiers bonus and which was not
an increase in debt but the payment
of an existing debt Twosb billions
more in actual money is in the
Treasury today than in 1888 and
this amount should be deducted.
And between three and four billions
has been loaned on good security
for such recovery measures as the
RFC and the Hole. Taking into
consideration, the net increase in the
national debt is less than under Mr..
Hoover and the increase in the ma
tional income has been sufficient to
take care of it.
Government Credit Excellent
The credit of the. government,
said Mr.. Doughton, is the best it has
ever been in the history of the ma
ton. Bonds are selling above par
and the nation is able to borrow at
lower rate of interest than it has
been able to before.
Ask Reelection on Record
Mr.. Doughton closed his address
by very modestly asking for his re-
election to Congress on his record.
He referred to the fact that he held
the Craftsmanship of the most pow
erful committee in the nation and
one that ranks second to none in the
world the Ways and Means Com
mittee. AS chairman of this commit
tee, he has put his district on the
map of the United States and is in a
position to continue his work for his
district and his state.
