SAVE THE TOWN
MIR. MERCHANT, IT'S UP TO YOU
AND YOUR LOCAL
NEWSPAPER

Today the tendency in America is
towards centralized buying. The bus
mess of America is drifting to the
cities. In every case-and there
have been thousands of such
where the stores have had to close
because of a lack of local patronage,
that town has ceased to be social
and educational center. It has ceased
to be town.
Merchandising follows the distri-
button of advertising. When the peo-
pie read the newspapers of the cities,
carrying the attractive and effective
advertising displays of the city mer-
chants, they are attracted to the
cities as place to buy, and with
modern transportation facilities, it is
easily possible for them to reach
these larger centers conveniently
and economically.
With such tendency the future
of the American country town as a
market place is very definitely in
the hands of the merchants and the
country town newspapers.

"Now for it." and Tony looked
quizzically at the blushing Bob. "Our

There's a sample of his detective

Hoey Asks Voters
If They Vans Tax

Shelby Candidate Explains Plan
to Aid Farmers; For Repeating
Tax on Necessities

Clyde r. Hoey, campaigning for
the Democratic gubernatorial nomi-
nation, asked an audience in Clinton
last week, do you want entire re-
peal of the sales tax so much that
you are willing to have the burden
of the schools put back on your
land?
'Do you want the sales tax re-
pealed as much as you want to see
the State and Federal governments
provide $50 month for our old and
needy?
do you want the sales tax repeal
ed as much as you want better
schools and free text books for your
children?
"And do you believe that this nice
young man, who until two years ago
was a teacher at a girls boarding
school in Winston-Salem, is so wise
and experienced that he can give
you all the things you want without
levying any of the taxes you don't
want"
Hoey said he thought the answer
to all these questions was, mo"
IF there is any group in North
Carolina which should know that
you can't get something for nothing
in this world it is the farmers" he
said.
II think they know enough not to
60 off after wild theories and wilder
promises"
To help the farmers he proposed:
Cooperation between the Roose-
welt administration and the State
government in efforts to aid the
farmer; maintenance of prices at a
reasonable level; development of
crop Investigation and soil conser-
walton; utilization off States lime de-
posts to cut cost of fertilizer; de-
velopment of more Market" and
extension of rural identification.
Hoey said ain this could not be
done at once, but working together,

With nod, Bob departed, and
Fleming Stone sat down to think
over what he had done. An eager
chap like Bob might prove of inesti-
mable assistance. He hoped so, any
way. And as to young Coles mis-
chievous kissing of Perilla on her
wedding day, he had no fear such a
mater would occur again.
Little he dreamed what would
happen, and whittier his fears should
be directed.

THAT is true. Farman is the one
to head off. And it must be remem-
bered that all Farman's talk is the
result of Madame Malden's hatred
of her daughter-in-law. I've been
down there quite a bit since Corey's
death, and the old dame doesn't
seem inclined to relent in any way.
That girl is true blue There's no call
to defend her, but great reason to
keep her from unjust suspicion. I
must be on my way, Stone. May I
telephone before I go?"
"Sure. Right there, unless you
want a booth. There is one"
ooh, no; this is all right"
Fleming Stone sat in brooding 81
1ence while Garth dialed a number
and had short conversation. There
was vague reference to a registered
parcel.
cts just too bad!" Stone broke
forth, as Garth ceased talking, ito

blame for all the Farman rumpus. I
shall have to 60 down there. I want
to see those friends of Malden's too.
Carmichael and, what's the. other
one? Carleton? Do you know them?"
''Only slightly. Do you feel, then,
there's no chance of hushing it all
up?"
''Of course I shall hush it all up,
in the course of time, but it will take
a long time, and may be too late.
Also, it will take intimidation, even
threats, and those are not good
weapons to USE"
''Do you know Farman?"
Never saw him. What sort is he?"
mo a good sort. He is sly, but
plausible; clever, but sneaky; smart,
but tricky"
When Garth went away Fleming
Stone went to the telephone and
dialed number. A few words of
conversation contented him, and he
turned to find his man waiting to
announce callers These were Tony
Gasken and Bob Coles, who had
both been at Perilla's bridge party
the night before and were now on
their way home to Philadelphia.
Young Coles took the lead, and
said, at once, Il have come to see
you, Mr.. Stone, to make little ex-

kindly smile, "but should be glad
to-"

nature a tease, and on her wedding
day he more or less bothered Per-
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1936-05-21

Il gather that both you men are IN
love with Mrs. Maiden"
II am" returned Bob, sturdily.
Its no use, she looks on me as a
child. Yet I'm only a few months
younger than she is-she's twenty
four. However, / won't bother her.
But if ] can help on this detective
work (Stone smiled), ''that'n be my
joy and pride. Yes, Mr.. Stone, I am
in love with her, she's so sweet, but
she won't know it from meat
least, not at present"
Sand you, Mr.. Gaskell?" Stone in
quired.
ITO say I'm not in love with the
lady would be a bit discourteous,
for, as Bob says, she is very sweet.
But my admiration is of the passive
rather than active sort, and unless it
receives some encouragement must
be kept in the background. Besides,
and this means you, Bob, it's a small
compliment to express affection to
one so recently the victim Of great
tragedy. Even if I were more deeply
in love with her than am, would
not persume to tell her so at the
present time"
Though Tony had disavowed his
deep love for Perilla, Fleming Stone
thought he read it in the strong
voice and the set features of the man
speaking. But it was the courteous,
debonair Tony Gaskell who said
good-by.
''Now, what's all this about, and
why do you think want anything
to do with your" asked Stone, after
Tony had left them.
WELL" said Bob, ''fiirst, because I
can help you in some minor ways,

''Those are promises. I prefer
achievement. What did you notice
last night at the bridge party?"
'That there was very little to be
noticed. Few of those present could
be looked upon as suspects, even if
we want a suspect"
Stone lifted his eyebrows. 1--WE, al
ready?" he said, whimsically. well,
were there any suspects there?"
"Only you and Mr.. Garth"
"And why we two?"

Jane or Hilda of any disloyalty to

you I've much reason to suspect you

Suspect me of what?"
"Ah, my boy, that's just it. What
is it that anybody is to be suspected
of? Yet there is suspicion in the air.
I feel it and so do you. And I'll say
right here and I do want to engage
your help. This is too big-too wide
spread for me to swing alone. I can't
be in two or three places at once.
Now, what I'd like would be to have
you here for, say, two weeks or so,
and run errands for me, or do other
routine work. Your first assignment
would be trip to Richmond"
"All right by me-" said Bob, un-
successfully rtying to conceal his de-
light.

after election. He may, some
how, some way, save the day
for another four years. To vote
for the Republican party and it's
Liberty League philosophy is to
head for revolution, or slavery,
within a few mOnths-as soon as
the budget is balanced.
The one cheering thing out of
the whole mess lies i'm the fact
that great masses Of people are
turning left. They are lining up
for a Production for Use pro-
gram and a party that points
that way. Of this there was
abundant evidence in the scores
of messages that came to the
convention. National movements
toward basic change start slow
Iy. Now the common folks are
falling in for the march. They
are getting together. Specific
platforms, programs and ideas
are being shunted aside. A
united front is being established.
I believe the consolidation will
come in a national Farm-LabOr
Party. It can help stave off war
and Fascism now and, then, ex-
tend it's education and Organiza-
ton with the objective Of taking
national power in 1910.
The Chicago conference did
not launch the national Farm
Labor party. It took steps that
will undoubtedly lead to that
end. A declaration of necessity
for such a party was adopted.
An advisory, or national COM
mittee, to function in cOnjunc-
ton with the executive commit
tee of the Minnesota Farm-La-
Dor party, was set up. To the
chagrin of several more pOpu-
lOus states, Montana was hon.
Ored with membership on the
committee.
In five or six weeks, after
contracting many large groups
of voters, these committees will
meet. In all probability they
will issue a call for a national
convention to be held about Sep
TENDER 1. This convention will
set up the machinery of a ma
tiOnal party, but make no nOmi-
nation for the presidency. The
national party will tie together
and coordinate the various
Farm-LabOr parties in the state,
aid them where possible, and
aim at the capture of the maxi
mum number of state govern
ments and Congressional seats.
1t will prepare for a national
sweep in 194O-if we still have
elections then.
