Patton Reunion
Held AT Lansing

A family reunion of much in
terest was held at the home of
Rev. w. A. Patton, of Lansing,
on Wednesday, Mar. A when all
seven sons and daughters were
present:
Mrs. j. L. A. Bumgarner, the
oldest, with her husband; Walter
Patton and wife; Henry Patton;
Mrs. c. S. Bumgarner; Miss Ollie
Patton; John Patton an d
Mrs. Edgar Farmer. There were
also number of grandchildren
who attended.
Mr.. Patton came to this section
from Marion, Virginia, 81 or So
years ago. At that time he had
acquired quite reputation as
carpenter and builder. He was
particularly skilled in finishing
work. He had many calls to build
stairs and to make fine articles
of furniture.
Then came the conviction that
his greater work was to preach.
So, for 80 years he devoted him
self as diligently to the ministery
as he had previously to his car
nentering. Those who knew him
20 to 80 years ago know with
what success. He travelled the
Creston Circuit of the M. E.
Church for five years, then fol-
lowed IL years as District SUI
perintendent, after that he serv-
ed as Pastor of First Church OF
Asheville for some time and
finishing up his career as pastor
of his home charge.
These years of service created
close friendships throughout the
church. Rev: Patton was duly
honored by his conference ir
1908 when he was elected tt
serve as Ministerial Delegate tt
the General Conference held a
Baltimore, and again many year.
later he represented his con
ference at a great world gather
ing of Methodists at Indianapolis

the Associated Press index of in

seventh week. But the week 5
drop was the smallest of the re-

Wartime influences still were

ly in revived buying of stell, cop

ported noticeable improvement in
steel buying after several months
Of slack demand, during which
mills supplied many of the big
orders taken in the buying rush
at the outset of the war.
The resumption of buying in
metals encouraged some analysts
to forecast a nearby reversal OF
the main business trend. But
whether anything more than sea-
sonal change for the better was
in sight kept most observers
guessing.

Easter rade Is Expected
70 Reach New High Level

NEW YORK. - Merchants got
ready this week for an expected
upturn in Easter trade and fac
tory production struck steadier
strlde after nearly two months
of decline.
Early shopping for the Easter
parade of fashion introduced a
familiar spring note into the main
war theme of business reports.
On the home fronts, anyway, war
planes and guns gave way in
trade comment to the state of
demand for new hats, shoes and
dresses.
The word from retail observ-
ers was that merchants had
stocked shelves more abundantly
than last year in anticipation of
larger sales in the next few
weeks, supported by a higher le-
vel OF employment and a freer
wartime spending mood.
LII many places Easter shop
ping was off to a slow start be-
cause slush-covered streets, more
snow and rains, notably on the
Pacific coast, kept attendance in
the retail districts below normal.
Latest federal reserve board
figures, for the week ended Feb
ruary "a, showed department
store sales running 5 per cent
ahead of year ago.
Dun and Bradstreet said this
years Easter tastes in clothes
were slanted toward navy and
black and that merchants had a
problem in obtaining quick de-
livery on medium and higher
priced dresses for the pre-Easter
calls.

merchants were expecting a rise

form. Mrs. Hale From
Sparta.

EQW1n i. male, LeakSV1lIe TAR
mer, who formerly lived in Allie
ghany county, was the 9th an
nounced Democratic candidate in
the North Carolina gubernatorial
race, coming out on a platform
advocating repeal of the sales
tax, reduction of farm and home
taxes, expansion in education and
public health appropriations, re-
duction in state expenses and
elimination of 10 state agencies
and construction of farm-to-mar-
kef roads.
Candidate Hale, who runs a
vegetable and truck farm near
Leaksville, came to this state in
1880 from Virginia. He was born
in Smyth county, Va, in 1902
and was connected fer a while
with the board of health in that
state. He resided in Allegheny
and Surry counties, being con-
nected with the health depart
ment of the latter county, before
moving to Rockingham county in
1887.
He married Miss Maize Os-
borne, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs,
lack Osborne, of Sparta. The
Hale's have three children. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Hale have a num-
Der of relatives in Ashe and Al
leghany who will be interested
in his candidacy. ....
In announcing his platform, Mr.
Hale states, There being several
candidates now seeking the gov
ernor' office on their past record
and allegiance to the Democratic
party, and all of them being
without a constructive platform
and now that the stage has been
set for farmer may this indi-
vidual enter the contest and sub
NIT the following as a definite
program for the farmer and the
advancement of all North Caro-
lima"
Following is his complete plat
form, consisting of 10 planks:
CONSOLIDATE the 113 state
agencies and bureaus to 103,
thereby eliminating undue ex-
pense and politicians.
Repeal sales tax in its entire
ty. In it's stead use the $20,000,-
900 surplus of the new $25,OOO,-
900 in the treasury at Raleigh.
Enact into law the Poe plan
for the reduction Of farm and
home taxes which in effect is to
cut in half the tax on the first
$1,000 of value of each North
Carolina farm and home occupied
by the owner.
Extend the appropriation for
public education $5,00O,000 with
monies saved from 10 per cent
reductions. Use portion of this
for teachers retirement fund, the
remainder for vocational, manual
arts, domestic science courses and
nine months terms.
Extend appropriation for pub
lie health to $750,0O0 and make
health facilities and protection
available to all.
'Set aside $6,0OO,OOO of the
highway fund for the construc-
ton and maintenance of farmto-
market and secondary roads. Re-
move the politicians and the po-
litical set-up and the highways
will straighten out.
"Change the time of issuing au-
tomobile tags from January l to
April 1.
Create an industrial demand
for farm products. Provide state
inducements for farmers to raise
tables. Cooperate 100 percent
more livestock and garden vege-
with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

according to 1910 census"

A SUDDEN suspicion and a handy

life of Byron Berge, Of Ely, New,
when he reached for a length or
rope outside his camp in the Snake
Range foothills.

ground near Mt. Wheeler, Berge had
finished his days work and got back
to camp. 1t was after shutdown and
a storm was coming up, with early
darkness. Berge remembered that
he had left his tools outside his
shack. He hurried out to get them
under cover.
The first raindrops Yer falling
and Berge put on speed gathering
up his tools. He reached down to
pick up what appeared to be a short
length of rope similar to the end
from a block-and-tackle set.
