r. L. GIBBS & co. ERECTS
$4,000 BUSHEL ELEVATOR
FOR STORAGE OF GRAIN
Owner Expects New Construction to Be Ready
for Use by Sept. l; Only Structure of Kind
In Hyde County; Tanks to Stand 60 Feet
High.

Construction of a grain elevator
in Engelhard for r. L. Gibbs &
Co. is expected to be completed
by September 1, Mr.. Gibbs said
today. The elevator when COM
pleted will have an $4,000 bushel
capacity.
Work started a month ago, with
Lee & Funderburke of Norwood as
contractors. So far, two of eight
round tanks have been erected.
Each of these will be 16 feet in
diameter and stand 60 feet high. In
addition, three star bins will be
constructed.
The elevator will have a dryer
with capacity of 400 bushels per
hour. About 1000 bushels per hour
will be loaded or unloaded.
Heretofore the company has
used only warehouses to store
grain. These will be continued in
use. The company in the past has
handled half a million bushels of
grain year. The new elevator will
make it possible to increase that
amount.
Corn, soybeans, wheat and oats
will be handled.
Although the elevator is not be-
ing built for government storage,
it would meet requirements for
that, Mr.. Gibbs said.
The nearest grain elevator is To-
Gated at Washington. Hyde county
has no other elevator.

WHERE CUR STRENGTH LIES.

The government-and all the taxpayers-have very
real and direct interest in keeping private enterprise going
in high gear.
AS example take the 1850 experience of one of the
independent telephone systems This had total
income of about $70O00000 After paving all it's bills had
S3681000 available for dividends to its holders of
stock
This system in the year, paid taxes of close to
000wel over twice much the common stock
holders received And in addition it acted at its
pense agent for the Federal in the col
lection of than S15800O00 III excise taxes from its
customers Each telephone owned paid government to-
tai of $3.50 in taxes.

GRADUATION AND
FRUSTRATION
(The Laurinburg Exchange)

This is commencement and grad
uation time and many thousands
of young people are leaving high
school and college for perhaps the
last time. But graduation for some
of them is accompanied by sense
of Illustration. Some have not
waited for the end of school, but
have given up their studies to en-
ter military service.
The world of reality into which
these young people are stepping
for the first time is far from a
normal and a peaceful world. What
can their elders say to them in
their perplexity and the uncertain
ty of the times in which they come
to their majority? We have waged
wars in the past on this thesis and
in the feryent, if not holy, belief
that we would fight through to
victory and the kind of world we
hoped for. But these things have
eluded US.
We do not envy the commence
ment orators this mid-century year
graduation time. What shall we
tell the young folks when we our
selves are not certain of many
things? Maybe the best thing
would be an honest confession of
our own failures. The world must
go on. The graduates of 1851 must
go with it. Maybe they will do a
better job than some of the rest of
us have done.

NO VISION?
(The Nashville Graphic)

Senator Estes Kefauver charged
this week that President Truman's
administration has "no vision" and
has shown the nation "no star to
hitch our wagon to-"
If anyone wanted to be cynical,
he might point out that such an
observation is misleading. There
seems to be plenty of vision in
Washington, both on the part of
the Democrats and the Republi-
cans. The trouble is that the vision
is concentrated on the 1862 elec-
tons rather than on the nations
crisis.

REPORTER

This year at Smyrna High
School a different hockey program
has been set up. In previous years
the hockey season began with
hockey practice for any girls who
were interested in being on the
inter-scholastic hockey teams. At
ter this practice period Varsity and
Junior Varsity teams were chosen
by the coach; then the inter-schol-
astic games were played. This
year there will first be about a
week or ten days of hockey prac-
tice. This practice, which began
on September 10, will be on Mon
day, Tuesday, and Thursday after
moons Immediately after school.
After this initial practice period an
inter-mural game schedule will be
set up and the inter-mural games
will be played. During the playing
of the inter-mural games, the girls
will be observed for their playing
ability. A Varsity and Junior
Varsity team will then be chosen.
After approximately a week of
practice for these teams, the inter-
scholastic games will be played. At
the present the inter-scholastic
game schedule has not been COM
pleted.
This new method has been In

augurated in order to give the in
