In addition to the above executive cuts, it is recall ed that I recommend to the 1931 general assembly a flat 10 per cent reduction in the salaries of all state officials and employes not protected by the constitution or statute and that this recom- mendaion was accepted and re sulted in an additional saving of $2,500,000 annually. “In other words during the three years of this administra tion, there has been a total sav ing to the taxpayers of the state in the sum of $8,750,000. No other state in the Union in this period has cut out such a large percentage of its . annual expen ditures. However trying our pres ent situation may be, conditions in other states are incomparably Hamilton Writes Tive-Ten^ Song Farm Movement Told of in Composition by Lit tle River Man “Welcome Echo from Minneso ta” is fitting caption for a recent musical composition by Neal Ham ilton of Little River. The song deals with the Minnejota Farm plan, known here as the Five-Ten year plan, which is being carried out by organized farmers’ groups throughout Western North Caro lina. The song w’as presented at the Little River farm meeting held at the school house last Friday even ing, interwoven into a blackface comedy sketch, with Mr. Hamil-. ton, Judson Patterson, Miss Eltie Patterson and Deverow Hamilton making up a quartet that won .ac claim of the gathering. Music written by Mr. Hamilton for the fitting words has been played by several musicians of note, who declare it to be of out standing merit. Words of the song follow: Are you from Car-o-line? Are you from Caree-Iine? Yes, I’m ;from Western Car-oline. Have you heard of the Plan, Minnesota Plan, that tells how to follow the path to Pros-per-ity ? Chorus: We believe God’s in this move and our duty we must do, and follow the path to Pros- iper-ity. Do you have a cow, the pure bred dairy type? Purebred sire will improve your herd; tests show’ that the scrub is a li-a-bil- i-ty on the farm and helps block the path to Pros-per-ity. (Chor us) , Farm products are cheap, farm products, ver-y low. I .can not tell the reason w’hy, but this I know— We need co-op-er-a-tion with the business men, and get in line with the market man. (Chorus) Do you have income, a regular farm income, to keep the money cup filled up?' Do you know we al-low imported- goods to take our oney away that should be kept 1 the farm? (Chorus).

It should be remem bered that during this same pe riod the state has paid and can celled nearly $15,000,000 of its bonded debt.

MUCH WORK IS DONEHEREBY ROADJORCES Close to $50,000 Expend ed in Transylvania Dur ing Past Year LARGE NUMBER OF MEN ARE EMPLOYED Bridges Built and Repair ed on Principal Roads of County Detailed workings of the State Highway Corumission in Transyl vania county were given briefly by Assistant District Engineer S. B. Howard at the regular meet ing of Brevard Kiwanis club last Thursday, when he presented statistics of the tremendous amount of work done in this county during the past year, car rying out the provisions of the state road program sponsored by Governor 0. Max Gardner. Fig ures given by Kiwanian Howard showed that Transylvania county roads, exclusive of the state high ways, had received aid to the amount of over $23,000, with 45.85 miles having been surfaced with gravel, sand and crushed stone. Six bridges on county projects across the French Broad river have been built during the past year, many other county bridges also being either rebuilt or im proved. Two bridges on Horse- pasture river, one on Whitewater, two on the Country Club road, one one Williamson Creek,, and eight on the Boylston state route, are among the new constructions, with nearly $25,000 having been spent here on this one phase of the work. A large force of men have been gi^en employment throughout the year ending July 1, the road man pointed out, at one time last- fall 112 men being employed within the county. A force of from 30 tOT'40‘ is now-maintained.
