In the passing of Miss Julia JeU freys early Tuesday morning, Octo ber 11, 1932, Selma has lost one of its most beloved young women. Her illness developed two years ago fol lowing an attack of influenza, and culniinated in her untimely death. During the interim her patience and cheerfulness were pi-overbial. She wa- brave and hopeful, always look ing for the best. Her spirit of youth was an inspiration and influence in the lives of all who knew her. Her kindly nature endeared her to- all with whom she came in contact. In her .gii'ihood days she professed faith in Christ and united with Kd- gerton Memorial Methodist churcli during the ministry of Rev. J. G. Johnson. Julia was a graduate of the Sel ma High School and an accomplish ed musician. She i- survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Jeffreys, and the following brothers and sisters: John and Robert, of Selma; Butler, of Smithfield; James, of 'Wilmington; Mrs. L. T. Rose, of Clayton; Mrs. Frank Kirby, Mrs. Jim Kirby and Miss Mabel Jeffreys, of Selma. The funeral was conducted from the home Wedne.sikiy morning at 10:30 o’clock by her pastor. Rev. L. T. Singleton. She was laid to rest in the city cemetery, beneath a mound covered with lovely floral designs, mute testimony to the love and esteem in which she was held. Pallbearers were: Fd, William and James Creech; Noble Peedin, J. W. Short' and John McMillan. Flower bearers were former school mates and members of her Sunday school cla s. Business Activities Bring Produc tion, In Some Cases, to Levels Kven Higher Than Boom Times of 1928 and 1929; 4,000 Workers’ Wages Increased. Republicans In S. C. See Victory This Year S. C. Leaders predict 40,000 For Their Candidates. Vote Atlanta, Oct. 12.—Whirring spind-, les and clattering welting machines sang a song of more,and fatter pay envelpoes to employe.-i of textile and shoe factories in Georgia today as^ increased business activities brought production, in some cases, to levels higher than the boom times of 1928 and 1929. Some 4,000 cotton mill workers in the Callaway Mills chain have re ceived a 10 percent increase in wages w'hile about 1,500 employes of the Bone-Alien Shoe and Harness fac tories, representing about 400 more than the boom days of 1928 and 1929 labored to catch up with or ders now far behind. The Callaway chain operates sev en mills with headquarters in La Grhnge, Ga., while the Bona-Allen plants are located at Buford, Ga. A 75 percent increase in produc tion within the last 60 days bring ing the production rate to 150 per cent above that of August and Sept ember of 1931 was reported by the Atlanta Woolen Mills. The factory is behind with orders and has night and day shifts working full time. The Exposition Cotton Mills have more than doubled their payroll within the past 90 days and the Proceedings Of Recorder’s Court No court Tuesday, Octobe 4th,- due to the fact that W. P.

Politics Hot In 1928, however, the A1 Smith- Herbert Hoover fight, with its at tendant Hoover-Democrats, stirred the Democratic party to such a pitch that more than 50,000 of them voted for Smith. At the same time, Hoover got 3,188 ballots. South Car olina gave the fbrmer New York Governor the largest percentage vic tory he received in any state. In the same election, however. Governor Blackwood got only 17,790 votes and Senator James F. Byrnes 16,211 votes, showing that few vot ers took the time to vote for State candidates. None of the Democratic mills are now running at 80 percent ^^.^didates was opposed and less capacity while, increased production ^j^^^ed some of the at thQ Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills | TK.,-. •. the only one who is (luilafied,” he added. The recent conventions of the two major parties in Chicago was the first major consideration of the speaker. “The Republican convention at Chicago had a hard time,” he .said. “We had enough to deal with. But ours was tame compared to the one held by the Democrats. In spite (s the galleries who howled for us to pass a plank advocating the re peal of the 18th amendment, we .stood firm upon our decision. “On ward Christian Soldier-” was .start ed by an old man at the conclusion of our plank on prohibition. But the Democrats, after deciding that they favored repeal of the amendment, all with one accord joined in the singing of that great American classic, “How Dry I Am.” The speaker paid his respects to . Justice Heriot Clarkson, of Charlotte member of the Supremen Court, who he said, gave a'W’ay $100 in gold each year to the child who made the best speech against whiskey. “I’m going to ask Heriot how he stands on this question now,” he said. He likened the Democratic leadership to the South-(Carolina bird of folk lore which always flew backward, and oc- ca.ssioned the remark by a negro that “I don’t know 'whar dat bird am goin’, but he’s sho’ gwine away from whav he been.” The present economic condition of the United States occasioned some caustic remarks by Mr. Newell di rected at Democratic government. He frankly agreed that there was a state of depression, but denied that it was attributable to the present Republican administration. “It all started during the world war,” said Jlr. Newell. “After the war, the whole world was in debt, and we are just now realizing the cost bf the war that we elected the Demo crats to keep us out of. “The Democrats howl about the tariff,” said the speaker. TheV say we have erected a tariff wall that keeps the rest of the world from trading with us, and say that a tariff for revenue, only -will rem edy existing conditions through stimulation of trade. They forget that the tariff wall was erected to that by the abolitions of many of the useless bureaus that are now be ing maintained in Raleigh and by elimination of the many employes, we can save $276,000 per month in our state .government.” The speak er stated that corruption was ram pant in the counties and that in 40 of the j5tate’s 100 countie.s officials had been, indicted and prosecuted for embezzlement in recent years. “1 sat in this court house not 'ong ago and heard Cameron Mor- 'ispn denounce Reynolds for his stand on the liquor |uestion. He asked that if Reynolds were nomi nated if the people would have to lepend upon me as the Republican nominee to stand for those who favored the suppression of the li- c(uor traffic and |or the protection and welfare of our women and children. I am asking you today to do that very thing. If you want .good government, if you ■want hon est elections, if you want the abo lition of the absentee voter lawq then follow me to a glorious victory in November. One hundred twenty million people are looking to us for victory and relief. Let us go 'nto office with clean hands fight ing not alone for party, but for righteousness,” he concluded. Good Program Put On At Kiwanis Club The Kiwanis Club held its' re gular v/eekly luncheon last Thurs day evenin,g with a good atendance. Parson 'Waddell had charge of the program which was very much en joyed. Jimmie Geron, member of the Smithfield school "faculty, renderoil two beautiful trumpet solos, ac companied on the piano by Geo. Grove also of the Smithfield school faculty. The Sewell sisters, local girls, rendered twq vocal duets, ac companied on the piano by Miss Ellen Singleton. Star Harper announced that Cdrl Goerch would attend the ban((uet next Thursday to be given to the wives and the school faculty. He al- o said that a splendid program had been arranged. Charlie Scales and Matt Wall were given until next week to re port on the entertainment which will be given bv the club.

Birth Place Of-The Republican Party Disease May Spread Through Use of Seed Agricultural authorities are again calling to the atention «of grain growers the fact that they are an nually v^asting seed, fertilizer and labor in pro.ducing the more than two hundred million bushels of grain that is destroyed by plant diseases. It is pointed out that with the control of| these diseases less acre age and, consequently, lower costs would result in as large crops as the present ones and that this reduction would increase the margin of pro fit on the grains produced. Many of tl)e destructive diseases of cereals result, from seed-borne ftrfigi, experts say. The spores or germs of these diseases develop as the -seed g-erminates and attack the young seedlings, often causing poor Be.ginning Sunday, October 16th, there will be revi%'al services held at the Selma Methodist church each evening at 7:30 during the week. The public is cordially in%dted to attend these services. The preaching will be done by the pastor. TOBACCO SALES LIGHTER BUT CONTINUE FIRM Smithfield, Oct. 11..—Sales were lighter today than yesterday but prices on all grades remained finm. Good tobacco is selling higher and keen competition is manifested on all good grades. Common and me- diui-n tobaccoes are holding their own. Average price today was $13.30.- Wisconsin Artd Michigan Towns Both Claim The Original Meting Which Launiched Great National Move ment. Where i.-; the birthplace of the Re publican Party ? Both Ripon, Wis- sin and Jackson, Michigan, claim that little white schoolhouse at Ri- pon avers: In th'ls schoolhouse March 20th 1854, was held the first mass meet ing in this country that definitely and positively cut loose from old partie.s and advocated a new party under the name Republican. At any rate, Ripon was the scene of the party’s diamond jubilee cele bration. As opposed to this, Jackson claims to have been the scene 5f the “first Republican convention.” On July 6, 1854, by public notice, some 3,000 persons gathered “under the oaks” on a farm known as Morgan’s Forty adjoining the village, and called to order the fir.=t Republican conven tion.” After appointment of a com mittee on resolutions, so I’ecords say, the gentletnen composing it “withdrew some 10 or 15 rods to the edge of the grove, and there, with some standing and some sit- A CARD OF THANKS. We wLsh to thank our many friend:s and relatives for their kind deed.s done and expressions of sym pathy during the long illness and recent death of our daughter, Miss. Julie Jeffreys, who passed away at our home here this week. May the Lord richly bless each one who contributed to her comfort or to her precious memory in any way. MR. AND MRS. J; D. JEFFREYS it to Greeley. In a letter (destroyed) written in April, 1854, to A. N. Cole, editor of the Genessee Valley, N. Y., Free Press, Greeley is said to have urged: “Call it (the new party) Republican; no prefix, no suf fix, but plain Republican!” Yet, ac cording to other evidence, Bovary used the term as early as 1852. It is a far cry from either Ripon or Jackson to “the sidewalks of New York,” yet here H where Pro fessor -John R. Comons ^ th Uni versity of Wisconsin aserts the Re publican party was really born. It was on the street corners of Man hattan, he says, that in 1845 the cry produce low yields of poor quality grains. Some outstanding examples are such diseases as stinking- smut or bunt of wheat, smut of oats, cov ered smut and strips disease of bar- i it into gavels, ley. l.argely, plant diseases can be prevented by disinfection of the seed. According to the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture, “Ethyl mercury choloride (a dust- treat ment) has given satisfactory re mits in controlling stinking of oats for a “full dinner, pail” was first ting on the grass, deliberated on the i heard.

Yet history tells us that here, by candle light.
