MEN WANTED
Two big corporations are seeking officers to
operate those companies in a business like and ef
ficient manner. One if a forty million dollar cor
poration ; the other is a billion dollar concern.
That sounds like a lot of money and it is. The
men who should be chosen to fill these important
positions should be men of experience, men of
education, men whose minds can cope with deep
problems of finance and management, men who
can keep level heads and an even keel when any
thing endangers the growth and prosperity of
their employers.
Tbe~e are many applicants for the positions.
The Eca.-d of Directors and the Stockholders of
the two big companies will meet on Saturday,
June 7, when the new officials to operate these
vast enterprises will be chosen.
The smaller of the two corporations, we
known as Halfiax County, the larger as the State
of North Carolina.
You, the voters, are the stockholders; your
party leaders are your Board of Directors. \\ hat
kind of men will you choose for the various im
portant i<.ces to be filled?

You answer these questions on June 7th in
the primary election. The man or woman who
does net vote has no right of future criticism.
The mar. and woman who vote for the type of men
■such as they would trust with their business and
their pocketbook are good citizens and good stock
holders. They deserve and will get good divi

WHEN WAITING AND WORKING PAYS
To those like ourselves who itch for immedi
ate action on the bridge situation, calmer heads
quote familiarly, “Rome was not built in a day.”
Others tell us that it took Weldon five years
of plugging to get their new bridge.
Thoughtful consideration leads to the con
clusion that what they say is true. The Highway
Commission, even if they had plenty of money,
would be unwise, even criminal in action, to spend
the amount of money necessary without the min
utest of investigations.
The delegation which went to Raleigh last
week made a good impression. It accomplished
the first steps necessary to attainment and suc
cess when the Commission agreed to get engin
eering figures and facts for a new bridge at a new
location.
It dees not follow that a new bridge is to be
had, but it is noteworthy that serious considera
tion has taken the place of haphazard guessing
and unwritten promises.
We do believe that when the figures are ob
tained, our case will be made slionger and our
contentions will be borne out by the facts. We
believe that we can definitely prove to the Com
mission, not only the need of a new bridge at a
new site, but that the elimination of the tour
bridge lay-out and the dirt road fill connecting,
constantly endangered by high water, will be in
the interest of economy anti efficiency and will
be of untold value for all times to a wealthy and
thickly populated industrial and agricultural area
I of the state.
i ...
To speak i rankly, we people must wm om um
Commissioner over to our way of thinking. W bile
Mr. Keugler states the need of a new bridge here,
his conception and ours of a new bridge are totally
different. He would give us a practically nr.v
bridge at the same site, of ten ton capacity. He
would argue that the other three bridges aie suf
ficient, this argument be'ng based cn tb efact
that they did not wash out last jear. He would
say that a little mor edirt on the roads between
the bridges would suffice. He would make us be
lieve that we won't get much heavy traffic any
way after the Weldon bridge is opened.
To be even more frank on the subject, Mr.
Keugler could put us a ten 4on bridge in the place
of the first large bridge at a cost Of between sev
enty and seventy-five thousand dollars, whereas
a new bridge at the new site wouuld cost at least
three times that amount. With the difference
Mr. Keugler knows that he can fill the needs in
other parts of his district in no small degree.
We appreciate Mr. Keugler’s position. He
wants to do all he can for as many different parts
of his district as he can. He wants to spread the
butter thin to cover a big slice of bread. And as
long as all things are equal and no emergencies'
exist, We agree with his policy.
However, up here on the Roanoke River, we
live face to face with a most serious handicap.
Here an actual emergency exists. It is not a ques
tion of what might happen. It is a fact as to
what has happened. While in other portions of
the district, new bridges and new roads might be
needed, might make for greater comfort and ef
ficiency. here we have a bridge that has proved
inade read- and d '.ngerous; a m»;n span of which
I;;; • •.’• a away and the other spans of which are
.-\y ..if supported.
.\ e d, i!a5’ bridge ‘.v.igk.t be pet beck a4
'h : . : ■ i.i it would r.ever be worth mor, '
to a t!u w -.’..re-t of the other three bridge-.
Or a w; b out e! . ! r Hiked road would nude1 the
do : r io<ik iik bO v, nts.
1 h -e and oth r ar ;un nt were argi < 1
brief's before ike State Highway Commission
and will be,argued more fully in a he future when
more data i.- secured;
This newspaper is more hopeful no wthan it
was before about the chances for the new bridge
at a new site. Of course, the actual location of a
new bridge and road would be left to the judg
ment of the State.
We believe it is a good policy for us to wait
and worry along with what we now have down
there on the river until a later date when the
State can see its way clear to raise and spend the
amount of money necessary to give us a bridge
which will last us for all time.
LEADER OF THE NEW SOUTH
Lesson 13. Game.—Game birds and game of
all kinds abound in many counties. It is the lead
ing wintering ground of migratory wildfowl on
the Atlantic coast. Trout, bass and other game
fish are abundant.
OUR INDUSTRIES
The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, in
its monthly business review, states the situation
in the textile industry in its district comprising
five states, showed no improvement last month.
It further says the commercial failure rate was
larger in April than any month for several years.
We simply quote these facts to prove our
contention that the welfare of every man, woman
and child in this section depends upon the pros
perity of those great industries from which we
derive our d:reet or indirect benefits. We who
are not on the payrolls should be just as loyal as
those who arc. in hard' times as well as good times.
