MAKE RESERVATIONS EARLY To the Democratic Women of Moore County: I laKe this opportunity to remind you that there will be a primary held O' June 3rd in Moore County to de termine who will be the candidate on the Democrat ticket for county offi cers and certain state officers to be voted for in the election this fall. Only those who are nominated in the primary can, under the law, be voted for in the election this fall and it is for this reason of vast importance for the continuation of good government that every voter go to the primary and cast his or her vote so that not only the best men or women be elected by the people, but the men or women whom the majority of the people ap prove. I write not only to invite, but to urge, you to go to the primary and vote for the candidates you think will make the best, the cleanest and most efficient officers of the law. The con stitution of the United States now confers this privilege upon you and this privilege, which you should have enjoyed years ago, confers a cor responding duty, the performance of which you cannot, in the interest of good government, neglect. The Demo crat party in Moore County expects the Democrat women to do their duty now in this primary; it means the selection of the best men or women for the offices and you are interested in this for yourself and your children. You voted in the last election for the men whom the men had selected for office because you were not en franchised until after the primary two years ago. Your record in the election is one of which the democracy of North Carolina is proud. It is your fight from now on, jointly with the men, and you must come on and join us. If you are in favor of one candidate above another, talk this to the other men and women, organize and see that he is elected. That is the way to secure good officers and good government. As chairman of the Democratic Ee- ecutive Committee of Moore County, I invite you, as the representative of the party and urge you to do all these things.. U. L. SPENCE, Chm. Dem. Ex. Committee. duced freight rates. But we also feel that the trucks should also help pay for the upkeep of the roads over which they travel, and that there should be state laws regulating the new form of transportation. Not laws that will throttle the trucks, nor one that will force the operators to jump their rates to the same exhorbi- tant figure charged by the railroads, but a reasonable live-and-Iet live plan of assessment that will make the trucks which use th#» roads help bear the expsnse of keeping t^.em in shape for travel. YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD IJUiEVIEW RECREATION COMPAINT W. J. HARRINGTON, Manager NEW LAW NEEDED Lots of Vass people live an isolated life. They cut their own grass, sprinkle their own lawns, drive their own autos—all alone—and never stop to think that they live in a neighbor hood. It is* because of such conditions that the old neighborhood spirit has just about died out. Of course, peo ple who live isolated lives never do much for a neighborhood. They eat and sleep in their own homes, and that’s about all that, makes it home. They’re honest and respectable, of course, but that isn’t all that is ex pected of a person. If you live near people you ought to be friendly with them. No town or community can become greater than the people who live in it, and if a majority of our citizens should act like a few we know it wouldn’t be a community worth making a home in. We’d rather go out and camp along side some running stream, where at least the birds would affect some sign of friendliness and neighborliness, than hang up our hat in a house lo cated among people who have forgot ten how to smile, and to visit among each other as our forefathers did. When you no longer care about your neighbors, when you shut yourself up within the castle of your own conceit and defy anybody to break into your heart or life, you no longer amount to much in your town or community, though you may have plenty of money and consider yourself a very import ant personage. FALSE PRETENSES Moving freight by motor truck has passed the experimental stage in this country, and it is here to stay. As roads are improved in and around Vass we are going to hear more of this new method of transportation, and we are also going to profit by it. More than once we have called at tention to the advantages of shipping by motor truck. But there is still another angle that we haven’t touched upon yet, which we feel sure every taxpayer will be interested in. That is the matter of framing some kind of law that will protect those who have to pay for the roads used by motor truck lines. They save us money in hauling our freight to and fro, but we are ta'king the same money out of our pocket almost be fore it gets there to repair the roads ruined by truck traffic. So it is noth ing more, under the present arrange ment, than a case of saving at the spigot and wasting at the bunghole. We want to see all the motor trans portation in this community we can possibly get—we want to see it all over the state. We know it means that we will have better roads and lower living costs by reason of re There are thousands of fake mail order ads in this country, but none more misleading than the ones head ed “Big Money Writing for the Press” and “Make Money Addressing Let ters at Home.” They are misleading and bordering pretty close upon false pretense. We feel sure Vass people know that the jiewspapers of this country are not so short of help or material that it is necessary for mail order concerns to advertise for writers. And yet we expect that every now and then someone in this locality falls for the fake. There are few people capable of writing the class of mat ter for which newspaper and maga zine editors pay money, and an al leged course in a school that pretends to teach the business is not the proper way to attain such a point. Neither is it necessary for any concern to send its letters or circulars to hun dreds of different communities to have them addresed when there are always hundreds of men and women and boys and girls right in the same city capa ble of doing the work. Steer clear of tehse fake concerns—there’s a catch in every ad. And some day Uncle Sam is going to get busy and stop a lot of it. Subscribe to The Pilot.
