HOW MUCH MONEY
HAVE YOU?
Recently the manager of a big concern that employe a lot of hands
made an inquiry of hie men as to how much money each one had in
hie pockete and the average showed about $28. A further inquiry
among men in some other shops gave a similar result.
Suppose those men put that money in the banks. A million hands
would have $28,000,000 in money subject to the needs of business, and
to their caliafc a minute’s notice. There is where the tightness of
money is.
The Bank of SanforcJ,
Sanford, N. 0.
Wants those twenty-eight dollar sums. The country wante that
money, and the bank wants to get it in motion. If yob are one of the

MB. GBADY’S SPEECH
A Clear Explanation of tn« Be- ‘
valuation Act—Democratic Bal
ly and Barbecue at Broadway
Mr. Henry Grady, of Clinton, one of
the Democratic candidate! for the
State Senate from this Senatorial Dis
trict, made a cracking good speech at
the meeting of the Sanford Democratic
Club in the City Hill Monday night.
Mr. Grady la a son of the late B. JV
Grady, who was known to many of our
older readers, haring at one tlnHt'
represented the Third District id Con
gress when it Included this territory^
The son seems to be a “chip off the old
block." Ho was beard by quite » min*
ber of both men and women. v
Mr. Grady said he was from Marion
Butler’s county, a county that hit
been oppressed politically because of
the fact that it has been dominite#
for years by the Republican party.
Here he touched upon the race Issue
and said that it was distasteful to the
Republicans as well as himself to talk
of the days of negro rule In some paH*
of North Carolina/ But he said the
only way we can judge a party, as well
as an individual, is by its past life. Mr.
Grady told of the time during Repub^
lioan regime in North Carolina wh6$
there were negrp constables, mag is*
trates and school committeemen ia
Sampson county. He told of having
taught a school of which two members
of the committee were negroes. When
he received the voucher for his salary
he refused to. have the negroes signiV§
The three white members of the com
mittee signed it and after much delay
and worry he finally succeeded In get
ting it cashed. He told of this politick!
history so that the. ladies present might
know of some of the things that traos
plred during Republican rule in the
State.
Mr. Grady gave the clearest explain
nation of the revaluation act we have
yet heard. He said that although this;
Republicans were going over the Stfttf'
condemning the act as being unjust
and oppressive to the farmers and pbo#
people of the State, that every Republ
llcan member of the Legislature, in
cluding Senator E. L Gavin, of this,
place, voted for It. Mr. Grady quoted
figures to show that the act was not
oppressive, but just and fair, to a|l
tax payers. Before going out to one
of the rural sections of Sampson oouu
ty last week to make a speech he went
to the tax books at Clinton and drew
off thonames of 24 farmers of the town
ship in which he expected to speak.
He took down the amount of taxes
they paid last year and the amount
p»? DiiC
Were found oa th e tax pooka. Arm e cl
with this information, he went to hi|
appointment And facing these
he proceeded to make comparison.
found that not one of those 24 men will
pay as much taxes as they did last year,
some hardly half as much. He Bhowed
that last year these 24 farmers paid In
the aggregate about 4300 In taxes and
that’this year It would be about .1100
less or one-third off. These farmers
were no doubt astonished at this and
claimed not to believe that Mr. Grady
was Btatlng facts. He slated that some of
the large farmers and land owera would
pay more taxes than they did last year,
but that they are more able to bear it
than the small farmer.
Mr. Grady Btated that the claim
made by Mr. John J. Parker, Repub
lican candidate for governor, and oth
er Republican speakers, to the effect (
that the corporations were assessed
but little higher and that they will,
pay no more taxes than last year, ia
entirely erroneous. He stated that,
In some instances the increase was
from 100 to 500 per cent. He told of
tne great increase made in the assess
ment of railroad property, and said
that the Increase alone in the assess
ment of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
Company, of Winston-Salem, repre
ted a larger sum than all the taxable
property in Lee county was assessed at;
that this big tobacco concern is now
assessed at higher figures than the
entire taxable property of Forsythe
county before the new assessment was
made. After hearing Mr. Grady’s
explanation of the reassessment act,
one could not doubt that it is a good
law and will work well.
The ladles, as well as the men, man
ifested much interest in his discussion
of the League of Nations. After ex
plaining the workings of the League
of Nations he said that 38 nations
thought it worth while to join it, while
the United States refused to go in and
is now classed along with such coun
tries as Turkey, Russia, Germany and
Mexico.
1018 was practically me same speecn
that Mr. Qrady made at the big; Dem
ocratic rally and barbecue at Broad
way last Thursday. Senator Overman
was to have made a speech, but cou’d
not be present on account of having
been called to Washington on pressing
business. Mr. W. C. Hammer, the
Democratic candidate for Congress
from this district, was also present and
made an enthusiastic Bpeech. This
was the first time many were prlvileg
od to hear Mr. Hammer speak and they
were favorably Impressed with him.
The throng of people present were
oharmed and thrilled with the splendid
speech made by Hon. Dan Hugh Me
Lean, *'the silver-tongued orator of the
Upper Capa Fear.”
The barbeoue was a success and was
feasted upon by the large orj)wd pres
ent. The house in whloh the speak
ing was held was too small to aocom
modate the crowd.
Mr. Hammer spoke to a large crowd
of men and women at Jonesboro that
night. At the request of the ladles
most of hli time was devoted to 4t die
mission of the League of Nations. Af
ter hearing him they went away bet
ter prepared to oast an intelligent vote
on that great measure. It was a great
day for Democracy ih Lee county.
