(c) Should the next Legislature fail to enact legislation as outlined above, we pledge our representatives to secure, if possible, local manage ment for - our schools. We believe that the County Board of Educa tion should be elected by the people. 4. We endorse the present Repub lican Administration of Johnston County and commend the Republican County Officials for their efforts to secure economy in County Govern- -ment, and -we declare in favor of ihe following reforms: 5. We re-assert the policy as stated -in our 1928 platform of abolishing the office of County Tax Collector, ■restoring to the Sheriff the duties of 'Tax Collector and we commend the laction of our Representatives in the 'last Legislature in getting a Bill passed the House of Representa- 'tives providing for the abolition of the office of Tax Collector of John- :3ton County and restoring the duties ■of this office to the sheriff, which Bill -was defeated by the Democrats in ■the Senate, 6. We favor the abolishing of the County Road Board, and making it the duty of the County Commission ers to look after the road system of the county, and we pledge our County Commissioners not to employ useless employees at high prices in connection with the operation of said system. 7. We believe that making the County Commissioners who are charged -with the. responsibility of le-vying taxes to create funds, the dispensers of said funds, thereby bringing home to their attention the necessity of economy and care in public expenditures, will promote economy in public expenditures. 8. We are opposed to issuing any more bonds except such as may be necessary to fund existing debts. 9. In addition to the above, we pledge our candidates to continue and improve where feasible the econ omy program which has been estab lished and set in motion by our present administration in the County f all matters and departments over hich they have bad control. 10.. We endorse the Republican Platform adopted at the Sta-te Con vention in Charlotte, April 17, 1930, and pledge our candidates to the iame, calling special attention to :he parts, thereof, dealing with Tax- ition; Educational System; School loards and Election Laws. 11. We heartily endorse the loyal support and good work given us by the Ladies, which has rendered much NOTICE Owing to the fact that there are so many Execution sales held up after the advertising has been be gun, and also due to the failure to get a bidder on day of sale in an amount sufficient to cover the advertising cost of same, I am here by giving notice that in the future when it becomes my duty to ad vertise a piece of property under an execution, I respectfully request that there be deposited -with me an amount sufficient to cover the ad vertising cost in the case, otherwise I shall not feel bound to proceed with such advertising.

ROSE, Clerk Superior Court. 6-5-pd The trouble with a lot of fellows we know, who boast that they pay as they go, is that they are usually slow travelers. $100.00 Monthly For Less Than Gent a Day Des Moines, Iowa.—$100 monthly income and $1,000 to $2,000 at-death in paid under a Real Accident Pol icy costing less than a cent a day, issued by National Benefit Accident Association, Box 2005 Royal Union Bldg., Des Moines, Iowa.

Adv. . ■ssta- hut the wind, since it blows spiral ly inward toward- the center, has a velocity many times that amount. One peculiar feature of a hurri cane is its well-marked center. As the storm approaches the wind rages with greater violence, usually bet-ween 75 and 120 miles, but oc casionally as much as 150 miles per hour. Rain fails in torrents. But in the center the wind drops to a light breeze, rain ceases and some times blue sky may be seen through breaks in the clouds. The diameter of the center may be from 8 to 30 miles. As the hurricane con tinues to travel and the center passes over the observer the winds rise again abruptly as they dropped and attain a violence equal to that they had before, but from the reverse direction. Honvy rain again falls. On account of the pe culiar characteristics of the center it is often referred to as the “eye of the storm ’’ ' People who experi ence a hurricane often believe that the storm is over, when in reality they may be near the center. They go about their duties, often remove barricades that had been erected for protection against the storm and are thus caught unawares, when after a half hour or so the storm resumes its fury. During the hurricane season the Weather Bureau is constantly on the alert to detect the first signs of the development or approach of these storms in order that people and ships in the danger area may be adequately warned and seek safety. A large amount of credit for the success that has been attained in this work is due to the interest of the personnel of the vessels and the fidelity with which they transmit their observations to us by radio. “The Rats Around My Place Were Wise,” Says John Tuthill. “Tried everything to kill them. Mixed poison -with meal, meat, cheese, etc. Wouldn’t touch it. Tried RAT-SNAP. Inside of ten days got rid of all rats.” You don’t have to mix RAT-SNAP with food. Saves fussing, bother. Break a cake of RAT-SNAP, lay it where rats scamper. You will see no more. Three sizes, 35c, 65c, $1.26. Sold and guaranteed by E. V. Woodard, Druggist, Selma, N. C.; Godwin Drug Oo.; Pine Level, N.

The old-time Selma boy who had a head for figures now has a son who has an eye for them. m ' t Standing out as the better cigarette The single idea of superlative quality was the inspiration for Camel Cigarettes. From the time when the first Camel Cigarette was made that one idea has set Camel apart. A poliq^ of better tobaccos, combined in an incomparable blend, manufactured with the most exacting care—all to assure the utmost pleasure in smoking. That is the ideal and the practice back of every package of Camel Cigarettes. It has made Camel the most popular cigarette ever known. More millions have chosen Camels for smoking pleasure than ever accorded their patronage to any other cigarette. Camels for pleasure^ ^ 1930. R. J* Reynolds Tobacco Company. Winston-Salem. N. C.
