Renfrow, High Point machine Democrat and head of the High Point re-employ ment office by Thomas Turner, Jr., former Democratic member of the Legislature from Guilford. Charges against "Renfrow involve acts growing out of the Burrus- Waynick primary fight for the Democratic nomination to the state senate seat both before and since the June primary. Turner stated that it had been next to impossible for a man who supported Dr. Bur rus s in the June primary to get a job through Renfrew's office and that in at least one instance he was instrumental in having one of the Burrus supporters discharged. Affidavits of Ben Shirley, Rober Bell, A. P. Cliatt, and E. C. Lam beth, have been filed with the local committee by Turner. Chairman John R. Peacock, of the local re-employment commit tee, has set September 25 as the date for the hearing of the Tur ner charges against Renfrow. KRESS STORE WORK IS MAKING PROGRESS Work on the Kress building-, iwhich was burned some months ago with an estimated loss of be tween $50,000 and $70,000 wa3 well underway here this week, with a new basement floor of concrete started and expected to be laid within a week's time, according to information issued today by G. M. Carstens, in charge of the con struction work on' Main street and Western avenue. "We are going according to schedule, and I don't see any rea son why we should not finish on or about November 1," Mr. Car stens said. The plastering work will begin within a few days, he indicated. About forty employes are hard at work, Carstens added. The new Kress structure will almost exactly equal the old in size, it was understood, and when completed is expected to add con siderably to the block, as well as to furnish the people of the city with a modern and complete stock of goods. o A. L. Wood of Caswell county used the extension fertilizer form ula for his tobacco crop this year and says he will make $250 an acre on the crop. ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY.

BONDS STILL THE SAFEST INVESTMENT The total public debt of North Carolina on July Ist 1934 follows . ormed was $174,156,000, the bonds being listed as Highway Bonds $101,354,000 Educational and Charitable Institutions 56,717,000 w U "}i School Building Bonds 15,585,000 World War Veteran bonds 2,500,000 A great deal has been said about North Carolina's debts and it has been a some-what overworked phrase. While personally we believe in a pay as you go programme, the majority of the voters in the past hav e desired otherwise. While this is a large debt, but in comparison with the great values in North Carolina it is still small. North Carolina bonds ought to be the finest security one could have or get. The valuations in Forsyth County for the year 1934 ex clusive of Corporation's listings is $145,548,320 being three million more than last year. The estimated value of Cor porations which is listed from Raleigh will be abound $6,- 000,000, making the total valuation of Forsyth CbUhty ap proximately $151,000,000, making th e total valuation of property in Forsyth County alone is practically as much as the State's debt. We are giving these fiugres for the reason that several times we have' been asked what we thought of North Car olina's bonds as security. NEED LADIES REST ROOM Mrs. Effie Vines Gordon, Home Demonstration Agent for Nash County and operating head of "the Curb Market for the City of Rocky Mount went before the Board of Aldermen of the City of Rocky Mount at its last meeting and urged that the city provide a rest room for ladies, as there was a great need for one. Those who heard Mrs. Gordon explain the need, know that there should be a rest room provided for visitors. This paper feels that the paving machine could be put under the shelter for a while and some of the vital things of less cost provided. The rest room should be built and a care taker put in charge and paid a salary from the city or the C.W.A. It would be useless to build one and not look after it. Put the paving machine under the shelter for another month and buy an acre of land for a play ground in the city. Some have already lost their homes for paving already. Which is best, walk on pavement or have a home. All main thoroughfare should be paved. No urgent nec essity for unused streets. We are glad to know that the Strike has terminated and with the Board set up by the President to hear both sides of the matter and to work out plans for the future operation of the Mills we expect an ultimate solution which will work out to the advantage of both the Mill owners and the work ers and if this can be done, and we feel it will be done then both sides have won the strike, as there is not, such thing as one side winning a strike. Those who sometimes apparently win loose more than those who have apparently lost, as was pointed out in an editorial of the Herald of September 14th. The President in the years of His Administration of the high office of president, has been fair to both sides and has recognized the right of both sides t and the public is glad to know that a solution may be looked for. that will be fair to both capital, labor and the public.

They were Walter P. Stacy, chief justice of the North Carolina Supreme court; Rear Admiral Hen ry A. Wiley, retired, and James Mullenback, of Chicago. They al so constitute the personnel of the steel labor board, named several months ago to settle employer employe disputes in that indus try. Takes Initial Step In a lengthy executive order es tablishing them as a board for the textile industry, Mr. Roosevelt took the initial step recommend ed by the presidential meditation board, appointed to settle the re cent great strike in that industry. Their first task is Acpected to be the adjudication of numerous com plaints of discrimination against strikers by employers in the rehir ing of workers following the close of the wolk-out. . >. Mr. Roosevelt had told newsmen earlier that he was investigating these alleged discriminations, but had given no indication that the appointment of the board would be announced so promptly. Justice Stacy is to serve only through the board's formative pe period, or about two weeks. Dur ing that time he will act as chair man, as he has o n the steel board. He has held positions on a number of arbitration boards named to settle labor difficulties on various railroads. Experienced Arbitrator Admiral Wilejf also has seen ex tensive service in settling labor disputes on the nation's transpor tation system. He is a graduate of the Naval academy and became commander of the United States fleet with the temporary rank of admiral in 1927. He retired from the navy in 1929. Mullenbach has behind him a long career as a labor arbitrator, beginning in that capacity in con nection with clothing trade con troversies in Chicago in 1912. He is a former member of that city'a board of education. In addition to holding a place on the steel labor board he is a member of the pe troleumlabor policy board.
