C., to Atlanta, with branches to Elberton and Athens, in i bulletin recently issued by Superin tendent M. 0. Dunbar in which seven smployes, each of whom has been in the service fifty years or more, were quoted as to the rules to be followed for safety \and success in life. "Know the rules," "In case of doubt take the safe side," "Take proper rest before . reporting for work," "Think of others before your self," are among the slogans suggest ed by some of these veterans, many of whom have never missed a full pay check, while ? all stressed the import ance of loyalty, obedience to the rules and courtesy. The veterans quoted whose own lives are shining examples to their younger associates are: ? J. A. Thom, agint at China Grove, N. C., entered service in 1874 as agent, at Gibsonville, N. C.; C. F. Marshall, passenger conductor on the "Crescent Limited," entered service as section laborer in 1877; J. B. Dun lap. baggagemaster on the "Crescent Limited," entered service as brakeman in 1877; T. G.

CHURCH MERGER IS GIVEN APPROVAL As stated last week the Brevard and Davidson River Presbyterian churches petitioned Asheville Presby tery to unite the two churches. Asheville Presbytery, at a called meeting held in the First Presbyter ian Church, Ashevijle, on March 6th, granted the request of the two churches, and the two now form one church under the name of the Bre vard-Davidson River Presbyterian church. Rev. R. L. Alexander is the pastor, and the Session and Board of Deacons are now composed of the elders and deacons of the two church es. The church year ends March 31st, and the reports to be made up at that time will be the consolidated reports of the two churches, and of the organ izations affiliated with the churches. With the beginning of the church ter Nancy from Asheville. Mr. and Mrs. D. C. Scruggs and Cleon Williams went to Henderson ville last Friday.

Unintentional Suicide Many people are slowly poisoning themselves just as surely as if they drank iodine every morning for break fast. They arc daily absorbing the toxins, or poisons, created by accumu Jatcd waste matter in their constipated digestive systems. Sooner or later disease will conquer their weakened bodies. If you have headaches, coated V)ngue, bad breath, no appetite, bilious attacks, vou are probably suffering from self poisoning caused by consiipation. A relief for this condition is Herbine, the vegetable cathartic which acts in the natural way. (Jet a bottle today from DAVIS-LONG DRUG CO. ('ear, plans for the future -will be def initely worked out. Preliminary work for the budget for the next year has been done and the individual can- j vass will be made later in the month. ; The combined church starts off with a resident membership of nearly two hundred, and a non-resident member ?hip of about fifty. Both churches have been strong influences in the de velopment and upbuilding of this sec tion. It is a strong organization, and it is confidently expected that the combination will make it a stronger influence and greater power for gocfd than ever before. More than 73,000 miles in a New Ford THE substantial worth, of the new Ford is reflected in its good performance, economy and reliability. Ita stamina and endurance are particularly apparent hi section? where bad roads and severe weather put a heavy extra burden on the automobile. In less than a year a new Ford Tudor Sedan wa a driven more than seventy-three thousand miles over a difficult route. The operating cost per mile was very low and practically the only expense for repairs was for new piston rings and a new bearing for the generator. The car carried an average load of 1200 pounds of mail and was driven 230 miles daily. "The Ford has never failed to go when I was ready," writes one of the three mail carriers operating the car. "The starter did the trick last winter even at 31 degrees below zero. The > gas runs about 20 miles per gallon. At times I pull a trailer whenever I have a bulky load." Many other Ford owners report the same satisfactory performance. Every part has been made to endure ? to serve you faithfully and well for many thousands o? miles.

Iowa Brothers Set New World's Record in Ford Governor John fcfcmmill of Iowa (left) and Walter Ferre I!, executive secretary of the Iowa chapter of the American Automobile' Association (extreme right), congratulating the Davis brothers on the establishment of a new world'* non-motor, non-wheel stop automobile endurance record. IOWA state officials and civic leadeis witnessed the establishment of a new world's non-motor, non-wheel stop automobile -endurance record recently, when Ralph and Holland Dav;g, brothers, brought their Model A Ford to a halt at the east entrance of the state capitol in Des Moines after 2,775 hours and 46 minutes of continuous driving. . When Governor Hammill, standing with Walter Ferrell, executive secretary of the Itwa Chapter of the American Automobile Association, gave the signal to stop, the Ford had traveled a total of 47,138.3 miles over all sorts of roads ia nil sort3 of weather and had exceeded by 33.GRA ml'es and more than 2,335 hours the American non-stop endur ance record which, theretofore officially recognized, was made by a much, heavier car under almost ideal condi tions on the Indianapolis speedway last year. In the count o? the endurance run, th3 car, known as "The City of Dm Moines," covered practically the entire state of Iowa. Engineers who examined the Ford at the conclosion of the run asserted that neither engine nor chassis showed evidence of the gruelling strains to which they were sub jected during the 116 days of continuous driving. Both apparently, according to the engineers, would hare been good for another 50,000 miles or more. ?
