“Aunt El’’, as she was affec

when a little girl walking along
the road, she wondered what

Until informed by Mr. J. E.
Spainhour’s history at the time
of the fire sale, some people may
not have known that the many
Spainhour-Sydnor stores were
founded at Dellaplane in 1870
by the late R. A. Spainhour, who
sold goods here two years. As
ye scribe has pointed out at
great length and with consider
able tedium, much has emanated
from the miniature hamlet of
Dellaplane and the surrounding
neighborhood. Old Oak Forest
church at Dellaplane !e said to
have once been the rural church
most patronized by the “aristo
cracy” In the county, and num
bered many famous divines a-
mong its pastors and preachers.
The school “ten miles below the
courthouse” was described in
early history and through the
nineties as one of the best in
Wilkes. The number of judges,
eminent lawyers, successful
teachers, doctors, and naval cap
tains going out from the school
and community, in so isolated a
district, has been surprising. It
was also the home of Otto Wood.
When the late Mr. R. A.
Spainhour operated a store at
Dellaplane in 1870-1872, he also
taught school. One of his stu
dents was a poor, diffident, coun
try boy, Julius Martin, nick
named "Hcody,” who Is Wilkes’
representative in the department
of justice as one of the several
special as8istant8-s|ttorney-gener-
al. 'While exercising what he
amusingly characterizes as his
“lightning-like Jnind” at Delia-
plane, young Martin was badly
hurt; and an older student,
now Attorney J. P. Spainhour, of
Morganton, brother of the teach
er, carried him on his back a
mile, or a mile and a half, home
to the Gus Martin place, where
J. S. Pardue lives. Mr. Martin at
that time was a very poor and
timid boy—even though of. the
somewhat fabulous “Yadkin rlv-
e r aristocracy” whose blood
made Indigo pink—and Mr. R.
A. Spainhour was the only per
son who gave him any praise or
encouragement.
Mrs. Laura Martin Llnney has
a hob-nail glass spoon-holder
her mother, the late Mrs. 'Vir
ginia Mastin, purchased from
Mr. Spainhour at bis store at

Warm Springs, 0*., Dec. 8,'-«
An “excellent reception” of Ihe
government’ll latest and largest
financial offering cheered con
ferees about the table of Presi
dent Roosevelt today as a huge
new public worke relief pro
gram was pondered.
Mr. Roosevelt put the actual
financial and the proposed work
plans side by side in an all-lm-
poTtant luncheon meeting with
Secretary Morgenthau and Sec
retary Ickes. He kept the decis
ion to himself.
There was every indication
here tonight, however, that the
new Congress would be asked
tor a sizeable sum—billions
probably—to provide work jobs
until private industry can take
up the slack.
The treasury head and the
public works administrator ar
rived here early today from At
lanta. Mr. Morgenthau immedi
ately checked up with Washing
ton on the market reception of
today’s government offering of
21,892,000,000 in the regular
Decemiber quarterly financing.
He was beaming as he joined
the President in the' open air
swimming pool, reporting the
“reception is excellent.”
“Everybody Is very happy,’’
Morgenthau told newspapermen.
Secretary Ickes who carried a
bundle of plans showing how hll-
llons could be spent in new pub
lic works, including public bous
ing construction, reflected the
happiness.
The three motored out to the
little White House for luncheon
and later were joined by Harry
L. Hopkins, relief - administrator,
and Rexford G. Tugwell, under
secretary of agriculture and inti
mate consultant in the new deal
discussions.
The four government leaders
probably will remain over and
return to Washington on Wed
nesday with the President but
there is no sign of any announce
ment of the new work relief pro
gram before Congress opens In
January.
Secretary Ickes who adminis
tered the 13,700,000,000 allowed
so far for public works said this
sura had served to “prime the
employment pump In a sense.,
but it was not enough to do
what we hoped to do.”
He insisted he wanted no per
manent public works expendi
ture by the government but
enough "to do the trick until
private industry can take up the
slack.” He noted there were two
billion dollars in applications
pending and most are “worthy.’’
“We ought to carry this on
over a long enough period to do
the job,” he argued. “As quickly
as private industry picks up we
can pull out. This is a stop-gap
and I hope private capital will
be able to do the job Itself very
shortly.”

FERGUSON, Dec. 5.—Anoth
er Thanksgiving has passed in
to history without anything un
usual happening in our commun
ity. The usual sportsmen were in
the field chasing rabbits and
quite a few local people spent
the holidays elsewhere, while
there were also quite a number-
of visitors in our midst.
Our community continues to
increase in population and not
altogether by importing citizen
ship. Three new babies arrived
in the homes of some of our citi
zens within the last week or so.
Mr. and Mrs. Harley Sanders are
the proud parents of a new hoy,
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Sanders are
happy over the arrival of a baby
girl, and Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Fred tVlalBh are also doting over
a new arrival In their home. This
makes a very happy Thanksgiv
ing for these parents.

holidays in Raleigh with her par

eluding Miss Casey, Mrs. Stokes,
Mrs. Barlow and Mr. Earp, also
spent the week-end at their re
spective homes.
W. H. Ferguson and family,

Mrs. S. V. Ferguson, at North
Wilkesboro and also visited rel
atives and frien-ds at his old

Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Wilson,

for a short visit with their aunt.
Miss Janie Spicer, while on
their way to Dalzell, S. C., to

Quite a few real estate deals
have (been consnmated in the
last week, we are advised, in
this section. Mr. Fred Walsh has
sold his farm on Beaver Creek
to Mr. W. C. Wlalsb and has
purchased a home and farm near
the farm of Mr. J. B. Walsh.
A gallon of gasoline, properly
mixed with air, has the explosive
power of 83 pounds of dyna-
mUe. ‘ ^
11 months, revenues were
2329,465,000 in domestic excise
tax plus 235,108,000 In import
duties, a total of 2364.573,000.
Estimates for the full year now
are about 2350,000,000 in excise
taxes, or some 2120,000,000 less
than officials originally predict
ed.
Due, both producers and dis
tributors say, to high prices
made necessary by taxes, produc
tion has run far ahead of con
sumption. Definite figures are
not yet available but the expec
tation is .'le full year will record
the distillation of about 100,-
000,000 gallons of hard liquor.
The result is enforced aging
for 50,000,000 or more gallons
with ensuing improvement in
the quality of the liquor sold.
The federal tax rate is now
22 a gallon. In addition, the
states impose taxes ranging from
50 cents to 21- There are also
heavy taxes, both state and na
tional, upon the distiller and
distributor.
Imported liquors must pay a
custom) duty of 25 a gallon and
also arc subject to the 22 excise
tax.
Chairman Harrison, of the
senate finance committee, is a-
mong those advocating a drop
in the import duty. The adminis
tration may be able to bring this
about through negotiations of
reciprocal tariff treaties.
The bootlegger remains ihe
biggest obstacle to liquor law
enforcement but federal efforts
to curb him during the past 11
months saw government agents
seize 10,947 stills and the arrest
of 21,622 persons. Approximate
ly 7,500 were convicted.
A disturbing influence in the
enforcement situation just now,
however, is the fact that more
than 800 agents are working
without pay and may be separ
ated from the service altogether.
A rider attached by Senator
McKellar, Democrat, Tennessee,
to the current appropriation bill
tor the treasury compelled all
enforcement operatives in the
liquor tax section to take a new
competitive civil service exami
nation.
