Refunding Bond
Order Is Signed
Similar Action Must be Taken
Oct. 2. To Make More Files
In Clerks Office.

The Ashe county commission
ers met Monday and formally au-
thorized the issuance of $1,O79,OOO
road and bridge refunding bonds
and $4,000 interest funding
bonds, to refund outstanding
bonds and outstanding interest
on them.
No protests against the issuance
of such bonds were made. but
they will not be in force until
similar resolutions are passed
at the October meeting on Mon
day, October 2, as Today notices
are required, instead of just four
days.
While in session Monday the
commissioners inspected the
clerk of courts offices, with the
view of making more room for
filing purposes.
Every file in the clerks office
is filled to capacity and Mr.
Stansberry doesn't have any
where to make proper files OF
court papers, it was pointed out
to the commissioners.
A recent grand jury called this
matter to the commissioners at
tention and urged them to dc
something about it. Plans were
discussed to either build more
cabinet space or to purchase re-
gular files.
The commissioners said they
would have improved this condi-
ton before now if they had had
enough money for that purpose.
E. F. Scott was awarded the
low bid for the county's coal.

Small Towns Are
Praised In Talk
By DIR. Abrams
Popular ASTC Prof. Spoke to
Rotary Club. Commit
tees Report Tonight.

II like a small town like West
jefferson and Boone-a place in
which men and women know
each other by their first Names
place in which you can er5oy
living and are not disturbed by
the hurry and hustle of city-life, y
DR.. Amos Abrams, popular Eng
fish professor at A. S. T. c., told
members of the Jeffersons Ro-
tary Club here last Thursday
night.
What makes a town is not the
buildings and skyscrapers, but it's
the spirit of the people who live
in it." he declared.
The speech was one of the
most realistic and humorous OF
any of the speeches made to the
club since it's organization a year
and a half ago.
DR.. Abrams was introduced by
Gale Mcmillan, program chair
man for this month.
The meeting tonight will be de-
voted to reports from commit
tees and every chairman is eXpec-
ed to have his report ready to be
submitted.
According to District Cover
nor's monthly letter, the club had
an attendance during the month
of July of over 81 percent and in
August, 81 percent.
All members are urged to at
tend tonight so that they will be
familiar with plans from all com
mittees and in order that the
September attendance will be
better than the average for Aug

Jake Newell Says
Sentiment Today
Same AS In 1923
Predicts a Republican Victory
In State And Nation In
Next Election.

"The same sentiment exists in
North Carolina today as there
did in 1923 when the Republicans
carried this state for the Presi-
dent by majority Of $4,000
votes" Hon. Jake Newell, chair
man, North Carolina State Re-
publican Executive Committee,
told a number of Ashe county
Republican leaders who assem-
bled at the courthouse last Thurs
day night.
thousands of Democrats in
the state want it to 60 Republi-
can and all we have to do to
make it that way is to get anoth-
er $4,000 Republicans who are
not registered, to register" he
stated.
The Republican party is par
ty of principles and not expendi-
ency and it is this party that will
save the nation and North Caro-
lina-save our freedom of
thought, of the press, of worship
and assembly, the speaker assert
ed.
Brownloe Jackson, secretary of
the state COP executive COM
mittee, was present and also
made a short talk. He told about
the party's plan of opening an Of
flee in Charlotte on October 2
and of organizing each township
in every county.
Grant Bauguess, chairman of
the Ashe committee, presided.

Hitler's ''Peace Offer" Rejected
By Great Britain And France
Germany Prepared for Long
War. $4,000 Poles Are
Reported Captured.

Britain's determination to say
mo" to any Nazi peace offer,
this week was expressed in an
official communique which gave
a lengthy review of Hitler's brok-
en- promises and stated that
Great Britain could scarcely be
expected to believe that the Ger
man aspirations are limited.
France likewise rejected Hit
ler's bid for peace on his own
terms. In a press reply to Hit
ler's first speech since the open
ing of the European War France
said:
France and Britain will not
let the dictatorship of Hitler con-
denim the world to slavery and
ruin all of the moral values and
the destruction of liberty"
In his speech delivered Tues
day Hitler served notice on Bri-
tain and France he was prepared
to wage a seven-year war II
necessary and asserted that Ger
many and soviet Russia, Europe's
''two greatest nations, would re-
establish claw and order" in cas-
tern Europe.
The fuehrer in an hour and IA
minute speech told the western
allies-Britain and France-he
had mo war aims" against them
but declared that Poland, as Gre
ated by the Versailles treaty,
''never again will rise.
The collapse of Poland, he as
serted, was hopeless with 100000
Polish prisoners, including 1000
officers and many generals, TAX
en- by the Germans.
Reports from the battle fronts
show that the French armies con
tinue to retard the Germans on
the West side while Germany
continues ner march inLo Poland.
The Soviet Russian army is re-
ported to be making progress in
its westward march through Po-
land. Great Britain's losses at sea
show that Germany is actively
engaged in submarine warfare.
Brief reports from the various
fronts reveal conditions there.

r. III. Stone Is
Elected AS New
n. C.. Moderator
Chosen at The 18th Annual
Conference of The Pres
byterian Synod
PROMINENT IN WORK

The 10th annual conference of
the Presbyterian Synod of North
Carolina which met at Green
vile this week, elected Rev. Ro-
bert H. Stone as the new mode
rator.
He was chosen on the first bal
lot by rising vote and succeeds
DR.. w. M. Farley of Raeford
who opened the conference Tues
day with a sermon.
Mr.. Stone who has long been
prominent in the work of the
Presbyterian church in North
Carolina came to Ashe county 1f
years ago and during that period
he has been instrumental in the
building and rebuilding of nine
churches in the county. His in
fluence in this section has been
widely felt, and both he and Mrs
Stone have thousands of friends
who will be interested in the no.
nor bestowed on him.
Mr. Stone, who is now pastor
of the Jefferson Presbyterian
church and other associate
churches, has served as stated
clerk and treasurer of the Win
ston-Salem Presbytery for the
past three years.
Among the outstanding fea-
lures of Mr.. Stones work in this
section are the Christian Chau-
tauquas held each summer. He is
assisted in his work by Mrs.
Stone who was Miss Martha May
Blackwell, the daughter of Rev.
and Mrs. D. j. Blackwell, and
Miss Katherine Hunt, field work
er. The Stones have two attrac-
tive daughters, Martha Black
we'll and Mary Hamblin.
Mr.. Stone started his work here
in chautauqua and became so in
terested in the field that he has
labored here necessarily for the
church since that time. He has
received much recognition for his
pioneer work in the establish
ment of new churches.
