\£tti. Quality First it!*'' PAY A LITTLE MORE AND GET A LOT MORE Don’t put a mortgage on your {udsment in buying a car. There’s many a man in this county who paid too low a price for his car—and lived to regret the day. I am not saying anything against low- priced cars. There are u number of good ones. They do the job well. I am trying to get people to get a bird’s- eye view of the motor car situation instead of a worm’s-eye view. Sometimes by paying a hundred or two hundred more you get $500 extra value. I refer now to the 1917 3400 r. p. m. Chalmers. Here’s a car that has been run more than 1,000,000 miles in the hands of owners, yet atteined a service record of 99.21% perfect. That is the xnark of a great car. And though it costs, possibly, a litile more than you ever paid for a car before—remember that extra little sum gets you from the zone of a fair to the zone of a great car. It is not only money in your pocket in the long run, but pride everywllere you drive. There’s a pleasant and interesting satisfaction in driving a regular car» Price $1090 Detroit — really a S1400 value, T^J HALLIBURTON, Agent, Marion, North Carolina.

MERCHANTS & FARMERS BANK MARION, NORTH CAROLINA. Bumper Baby Crop. state Board of Health BuUetiii^ AccordiDg to prelimiDary statis tics cqmpiled today by the Bureau of Vital Statistics, there were 75,- 612 babies born in North Carolina in 1915. This is equivalent to a birth rate of approximately 31 per thousand of population. This birth rate is considerably above the aver age birth rate reported in the Unit ed States and is particularly grati fying when we note that during the same period, 1915, there were only 6,807 deaths reported from babies less than one year of age, or approximately 9% of the babies born during the year. While or dinarily this is a much lower per centage of deaths than would be expected in a state with a mixed population, and while it is much lower than than that reported by the average in the registration area, we believe that the greater number of these deaths were pre ventable and as health conditions improve in North Carolina we may confidently expect a corresponding reduction in the percentage of baby deaths reported. State News. Announcement has been made of the dates on which the Meck lenburg County fair will be held at Charlotte this year. Secretary More states that the fair will take place November 7, 8, 9 and 10. The Rutherford County com missioners have sold $75,000 worth of county bonds to Stacy and Braun of Toledo, Ohio, for a premium of $1,000. The proceeds of this bond sale will be used immediately in reconstruction of the bridges and highways destroyed by the July freshet. It is stated from Morganton that a conservative estimate of Burke county’s loss by the flood is $228,- 500—which includes bridges and roads, buildings, crops and live stock. Miss Willie Spainhour of Mor ganton and Prof. I. G. Greer, of the department of history of the Aopalachian Training School at Boone, were married in Morgan ton last Thursday. Directs Attention to Humane Law. The Board of Public Charities IS sending out to clerks of the Superior Court copies of the law providing for transporting patients to the hospitals for the insane. Be fore the ratification of a law passed by the last Legislature, it was the custom to send insane patients to hospitals in the care of county offi cers. The law to which the Chari ties Board is directing attention anew provides that hospital super intendents must send attendants for patients, the counties to re imburse the hospitals for expense incurred.
