LAFFOON. - „...3ecwtary-*reß«irer SUBSCRIPTION RATES, PER YEAR In the State. 51.50 Out of the State, it.* When Words Fail— William Jennings Bryan used to delight in telling the story of a young fellow who finally bolstered up the courage to propose to a young lady—and was accepted, prompt ly. His joy was so sudden that he dis pensed with the usual formalities, went out into the night and looking up into the stars said: "Lord, I ain't got nothin' a-gin no body." That's about how all of us feel after the announcement that the Chatham Manufac turing Companv is to move its finishing plant to Elkin. We, too, are powerful pleased with ourselves and the prospects of future progress of the town. Only time alone will tell the full story of what this will mean to Elkin, but even now we can visualize some of the benefits: It will almost double the population of our lit tle city, and with a class of citizens, high in intelligence and with the permanent assur ance of earning their way; the payrolls will be increased tremendously and permanently and our merchants will be the direct bene ficiaries; real estate values will be boosted by the erection of residences that will be necessary to house these workers. As a matter of fact every citizen of Elkin, high and low, will be benefited by its coming. Any city's chamber of commerce would have spent time and money to secure such an acquisition as this, yet we are remember , ing that the coming is voluntary, and Elkin should never forget the man who said, "It will seem like coming home to me." We be lieve that that came from the bottom of Thurmond Chatham's heart, and we are just as certain that the public reaction will be mutual. In large measure it is Elkin's re ward for maintaining a loyalty and co-op eration in the years when the interests of this great industrial enterprise were divid ed. Somehow we feel that the founders of this great industry, if they were here in the flesh, would approve the change. In their first crude little mill they probably dreamed of its ultimate success and scope—and want ed it to be Elkin's very own. Those who are directing its destiny now will find pleasure in the joy that would be theirs. The Chatham Manufacturing Company has been the economic backbone of Elkin for decades. Now it is to be even more. With its $35,000 weekly payroll it will be con tributing more to the town's advancement than all other interests combined, and we should never allow ourselves to forget that. Like Bryan's lover, words fail us. We can only tell the stars that "we ain't got nothin' a-gin nobody." But when we catch our breath, we should set ourselves to con solidate this gain by the creation of other payrolls and in every way try to merit the confidence of those who now are expressing it so significantly. _____ ■ ——>•— His Interest Applauded If Commissioner Hackett is sincere and continuous in his purpose to provide an all weather road from Dobson to State Road, and we have no reason to doubt it, then the people of that section in particular, and the people of the county as a whole, have abun dant reason to be encouraged by the pros pects. Mr. Hackett told a group of Surry citi zens the other day that this road is the most important project to be considered af ter the completion of Federal Aid projects in the county. And he is right, for this is a farm-to-market road in the real and strictest sense of the word, and present con ditions are such as make it anything else than a satisfactory artery for this purpose. The people along its way deserve a more de pendable outlet, and if their long-suffering is at last to be rewarded, it becomes a mat ter of gratification to the entire community. It is fortunate that Commissioner Hack ett comes to this conclusion right at this time when winter is saying good-bye and when there is a long period of construction weather just ahead. tVue, funds are not in hand right now to begin work immediately, but we have Mr. Hackett's promise that the first money available for farm-to-market roads will find this project sharing in them. It is sincerely to be hoped that before an other winter comes this improvement will eventuate. It is extremely hard for the farmer who must wade through mud to get to his coun ty seat to transact necessary business, and to carry his produce to market, tp hear all this talk about highway surpluses, and equally hard to follow the philosophies of his Governor that this money should be made available for other purposes than that for which it has been created. It would be an • other thing to talk about diversion, if every road need were met in North Carolina, but it doesn't make sense when improvement of such stretches of roads as the one under dis cussion, is withheld on the plea that there is no money available. The Tribune commends Commissioner Hackett for his interest, and sincerely hopes that he will find a way to provide this relief as promptly as possible. The New Appraisal Rumors have it that Governor Hoey will name Dr. Ralph McDonald, his former po litical foe who came uncomfortably near keeping the Shelby man out of the Gov ernor's chair, as one of the commissioners who will adir jnister the office made vacant by the resignation of J. Dewey Dorsett, chairman of the compensation commission. In. this connection it is interesting to note the comment of one of Dr. McDonald's most bitter newspaper critics during the gubernatorial campaign: "He is a man of exceptional ability, well educated, immensely popular, a gallant gentle man and with a capacity for superior political performance. We hope he is honored for the honorableness with which he has conducted himself, for the man of character he is and for what he altogether deserves at the hands of the party Whose banner he flies." Three years ago Dr. McDonald could not have bought that editorial appraisal with all the dollars in the world, for then he was standing in the way of the ambitions of the hero of the editor who now writes it. Then Dr. McDonald was afflicted with the "crawling hypocrisy" which Governor Hoey attributed to him. But since then he has accepted defeat without bitterness, and his successful fight for his political life has been no more spectacular than his success ful retention of his political life, and today he is one of the most popular figures in North Carolina political life. Could it be that it is considered good strategy to so overwhelm Dr. McDonald with gratitude that he won't give any further trouble? We hope this newly awakened interest goes deeper than that, but prefer to wait and see. One thing is certain: Here is abundant proof of the need for more restraint in po litical battles. Why must men be crucified in the heat of a campaign simply to assure political success for others ? Why can't men and issues be weighed on merit and without the personal vituperation that is more the rule than the exception? Dr. McDonald is not a casualty of that campaign simply because he is made of truer steel that does not bend and break. But he is popular today through no fault of his former foes who sought to crush him. But that is water over the dam. Let him now be recognized for what he is, and his critics measured by thoir new appraisal rather than the old. Who Pays for the Accidents? As this is being written the legislature has not yet been able to make 'up its mind on the measure introduced by Dr. T. W. M. Long, of Halifax, to add 50 cents to thte cost of each automobile license plate, the pro ceeds of which would be used to create a state fund for payment of hospital expenses of those injured in highway accidents. The North Carolina Hospital Association, which embraces practically every hospital in the State in its membership, has officially approved the bill, on the ground that it would help to correct the annual loss of $155,000 through highway accident cases. The bill is opposed by the State Highway and Public Works commission and by the insurance companies. It is understandable that the insurance companies would be against it, because it would interfere with the sale of their liabil ity insurance but that should not weigh very heavily with the legislators un less they are ready and willing to pass leg islation making it mandatory that all auto mobile owners carry liability insurance to protect the public. The proposed bill would add only 50 cents to the annual license tag cost to build up an accident fund, from which every resi dent of the State who is injured in an auto mobile accident would receive a maximum of $63, or twenty-one days of hospital service at $3 per day. Any and all accidents would be covered, so that a person might be in jured in several accidents, but for each he would receive hospitalization payment. It is our notion that this law would serve a good purpose. Certainly the hospitals must have money from some source to cover the cost of every service if they would sur vive. In the case of highway accidents there is no time to arrange for payment and in seven cases out of ten there is almost the dead certainty that there will be no pay. That means that when next you and we go for treatment a little something must be tacked on to cover these gratis services. And while that is only fair to the hospitals, it is most unfair to those who must pay, when it could be largely avoided in the way Dr. Long proposes. But we have government by lobbies, and when the highway organization and the in surance groups combine to fight a measure in the legislature, it becomes a miracle when such legislation makes the grade over their protests. There were some mighty good press agents in George Washington's day, else we still wouldn't be reading about that hatchet and cherry tree. Some of these days one of Hitler's tri umphal marches into conquered territory will end with a funeral march in which he won't be able to smell the flowers. THE KLEIN TRIMTNB, ELKIN.
