TRUE STORY
Once trpon a time there--ws* a man
who had a fellow working for hint !
He- paid tlif worker ji&.ou per wkk,
after a few wvoks title worker came,
to his employer anil told him Ik
weded mono money, ho would hnve
to K'j vo $20 per week. The boss mis-1
ed his salary, then the worker came
buck saying he* needed tnore money. I
The boss, rained ,h!in stgntn to $25 per
week. In a short, while the worker.'
. wns bark again for more money". j
Then the boss fired hlni and hired j
'another man who was glad to net
the Job for ICS'S.
The heads. of the Slate Departments
site the worker In the nbove
store. We, the taxpayers of North
Carolina, tuv. the boss. They work
foi ua. wo pay them, yet they come
ae'eacvh Itgis'iHiire wanting, demanding
more of our money. They contribute
nothing to the cost of the government,
of which they are a part.
We think It- b? lime to do some firing,
and hire another crew that can
operate on the "enormous sum that
is collected annually from the taxpayers
of. North Carolina.

Here and There . .
By Haywood B. Lynch
It la always customary when the ?
editor returns from a trip to write it 1
up for his readers, so here goes. We
left Thursday morning, February 9th, **
for the King* Mountain Colony at I "
Palga Harbor, Florida, to eat, sleepJ"
and run-around with Attorney and 6
Mrs. E. L. Campbell who have been ^
wintering in Florida for over twenty v
years. We had a most pleasant trip f!
down, spending the first night at a v
little town in Florida about 12 miles'0
south of Jacksonville called" Orange ''
Park. On the way In to Palm Har-!"
hor the nc<t day we stooped by SH-l'1
vei; Springs which was one of the
mcst beautiful' sitc3 of the Whole '
trip. Just as we were entering Palm 11
Harbor we met Mr. J. 8. Thomasson
and Attorney Ed going in the opposit'e
d.fcctlcn. They quickiy turned
around and piloted us to the home
where we were to have such an en- J '
lovable visit. The very first thing (
Mr. J. B. and Attorney Ed wanted'
me to eat some fruiti right off the
trees, so I followed them to Mr. J.
G
C.'s trees which were loaded down
with oranges, grapefruit and tangerines.
On the way from Attorney Ed's
to Mr. J. B.'s we passed thru the
Anthony property and Mrs. Anthony *
was in their grove having her after

next per?oob we met trorn Kings fl
' Wounta!r?f wai Wrs. (J/ fe. Nelsier and1
Mr*. Fleming Ramaeur. They want
ed to. know all the news from home
Then Mrs. D. C. Mauney, Mra. George
Houser and Mra. George Patterson
came by t>3 invite the ladies to a
party. The "first time we saw Mr. A'lison
he was in Clearwater, a'l dreaaed-up
seeing the sites, Saturday afternoon.
Th-t night he was taken lit
with a severe pain in his aide, ann
the do'old" wss ca'led. The next dsv
be was 'much b?tter and Mondev
morning we stopped by to see him
and he v?s on the porch feeling fine.
The following Friday nippf he had
another severe attark and was taken
to the hospital "in Tarpon Springs for
an Qprration which was performed
Monday. The last report is that he
stcod the operation exceedingly wel>.
We can't begin to tell you all the
places we went or all.the things we
saw, but we will confess that we
went to the DOGS one night, and we
can truthfully say that all this
"stuff" you have heard about a beginner
always winner is a lot of
hoey. We know, we tried. I could
write a whole column about my
night at .the dbg races but I know I
had better not. I went fishing one
dsy with Mr. J. B. over Tarpon
Springs which is the largest Sponge
crntpr in the world. I caught one
fish which weighed about a pound.
Mr. J, B." Caught one which weighed
about 2 ounces, and as I brat ChamrtietM

swimming three times with Attorney
Ed and me as chaparones, and by the
way, there were some right good
looking bathing beauties on the
beach, you notice we want three
times.
I met Grover Lackey, brother of I
Building and Loan J. C. Lackey in
Tampa. I met him -in Kress', the
same store in which Monaqer Fred
Stallworth of Belk's worked for two
years. Dr. Anthony came in the Sunday
after we arrived, and he seemed
to be mighty happy in his back yard
eating oranges and taking life easy.
Not any of the Kings Mountain residents
have telephones which is one
of the uig assets. I did not hear a
telephone the whole time I was gone.
All the Kings Mountain residents
have gates between their lota which
makes visiting much easier. The day
before we left. I climbed up several
o* Mr. J. B.'s trees ana filled bags
and a box of fruit, some to bring
home, and the box I shipped to my
mother in Goldsboro. Will Harmon,
former Kings Mountain .resicfent
qave the three girls bags of 'fruit to
bring home.
The night before we left all the
Kings Mountain folks were invited to
a delicious fsh fry at the home of
Msses Martha and Emma Richmond
of'Illinois and Florida. The sisters
visited in Kngs Mountain on their
return trip last year. There were 20

This then, indicates the urge still
exists In some potent circles to try
to get Congress to do away with
Stnte lines and* set ..tip a single unft
of government ? in Washington ?
to run the whole nation.

Another example is a bill recently
dropped in the legislative Poppet
lvery quietly) to create a Government
corporation that would be directed
to take over the ownership
and operation ot all oil, gas and mln
'Ug' industries and power plants; also
tbe products of these industries. The
corporation would enjoy "all of the
privileges and immunities of the
United States.' meaning that it
would be tax free and have the free
use of the mails, etc.
To States, cities and counties, this
would mean the loss of millions of
dollars annually in tax collections.
Still another example is a bill to <
do away with State charters and con
trols of, business This measure
would centralize the charter and license
authority in Washington.
The meaning to States would be
the same, again: loss of fees. . , ^
