w VOL. XXXVHI. NO. 14 New Model Ford to Go j j On Display December 2; New Lizzie Will Go On Display Next Friday, But None Will Be ! Available For Sale j V Henry Ford's new car, which oft'i-j trials of the Ford Motor Company say i will be responsible for the expendi-j ture of nearly eight hundred million: a dollars for labor and materials tlur-jc! Ying 11)28. will be given its first pub-. <' lie showing in the United States, Canada and England on Friday, December 2, Mr. Fold announced on y last Thursday. t) Coincident with the announcement f( of the showing of the new car, which jr will be known as the "model A" came a review of world business con- n ditions from Henry Ford, in which u the manufacturer explained his sus- sj pension of activities since early last .summer, when re-tooling of the Ford plants began in preparation for the new model. "My outlook for the coming year J; is based on ample evidence of con- _ tinned and increasing muterial pros- " perity," Mr. Ford declared. "Nation- ^ -aI wealth is increasing. Individuals J, have more money. Taxes are on the 2. decrease and governmental economy Jr, has made for better business in all , lines. "People buy when they have ^ money- They become cautious in . their expenditures only when money '' becomes scarce. Money is not scarce today, nor will it become so next ^ year, in my opinion. Therefore, we " will have what we visualize as pros- J* V parity- r J "The outlook for 1928 is simply a ^ matter of production. Production!^ means the consumption of materials| and labor. All production in this' !; country is cither holding its own or increasing and I believe that it will ' continue to ncreusc during the next , .year. That will mean greater ditrihution of money and greater purchasing power." Approximately 70,000 men are I employed in the Ford plants today, Ford stated, and these men are i earning more than the '.>0,000 men n who were employed at the main ^ mariUfncturing plants nt the height \ of the Model T production. Although officials of the Ford < Motor Company would not comment a 011 the possible date when the new I car will be available to purchasers, t they slated that for more than n t month the chiel manufacturing ' plants of the Ford company have p been producing cars for capacity e production of the new cars at 83 ^ assembly plants in the United States 4 shortly after the fir-1 of the year. '' It was intimated that dealer.; J throughout the country will bo able (? to secure but one car for display' purposes on next Friday and that it J will be nunc than a month before j any models will go on sale. Ford of-;d ficials refused to make any st 'te-j r ment regarding the rcgu' r pr.idt.c-j v tion schedule for the new model | C ! n BOND OF $1,000 REQUIRED OF 1 V BINGHAM ON ASSAULT CHARGE K P The Democrat was slightly- in ev- M ror in its report of the Luthef Bins- M check episode lati week, ^ It is stavid'that the warrant charg- D injr him with giving bad checks was issued by Magistrate Stout of Cove -1 Creek township, who released Mr. Bingham under S200 bond. A date was sot for the hearing but Bingham u hr.d it removed from before Mr. I 3: Stout and it was heard before Mag-; C istrate Smith McBride last Friday, I Bingham being ordered to pay the! m checks and costs. Magistrate Me-] A Bride issued the warrant for Bing- p ham charging assault with a deadly c> weapon and hcid him under bond of $1,000. Bingham refused to fill the s; bond and asked that commitment j tl papers he issued admitting him to V t the county jail. He was sent to f, Boone in charge of Deputy Sheriff J jLee Mast. However, upon arriving u here he went before Magistrate n ?J. N. Halm who released him under v $300 bond. He was re-arrested and ii required to make the original bond w of $1,000, under which he is now at y lihertv. The assault chargedrrew out of an alleged attack he made upon f DeWitt Brown, who swore out. the h , warrant for Bingham for giving s y bad check. t 'STRICT STEWARDS IN . c Bt CONFERENCE AT JEFFERSON t r wards' meeting for the North Sto horo district was held in Jef- r Wiifcee.

HLTE HOUSE SEES OBSTACLES t 1 TREATY OUTLAWING WAR j < Washington, Nov. 25.?Anxious to j ' cuss with world powers proposals; : i- the outlawing of wa.r. President I xilidec feels nevertheless that thr j i institution of the United State? j esents a serious difficulty in the! I ay ef a binding treaty. ti was recaueu muay at rue v\ nice ouse that the constitution place? ' ith congress the responsibility of 1 iclarittg war. Mr. Coolidge be- ' ives congress cannot, therefore, be i iprived of this power by any trea but lie does think a treaty express- ' g a declaration of policy is pos- ; ?le. The president indicated a desire to ' igago in conversations with c :her 1 itious- about such treaties, beltev- < g considerable good would com.-: om public concentration upon the i bjeet. However, he dees not see the way , ear for u general conference of the , itious on the subject of outlawing nr. If treaties are to be negotiated. ; thinks they should be mr.de sdpnitely between governments. In this connection, Chairtpan orah of the senate relation? comn'tee, today advoented that the rir.ciple of the proposed treaty to utlaw war.between France and this runtry be extended to negotiations ith all other leading world powers, iclnding Great Britain, Italy. Japan ud Germany. While there was no direct foment at the White House on the pro-i 5sal of Senator Capper, Republican.' l Kansas, that America enter into a| vaty agreeing to abstain fioml a ding with any nations waging, ag-! ressive warfare, it was indicated I mt the president saw dangers in ', icii a policy. i , Definition of the word -'aggressor"} ; :i? Seed sj the stumbling block and j was felt that the necessity of do-1 ; minting which nation was the ag- j cssor would be apt to lead this luntiy into actual hostilities. While negotiations between France id the Fnited States over the pro:sa! of Foreign Minister Braand of ance for a treaty to outlaw war ; c still far front the treaty-making , age, there is increasing interest in is subject manifested in congress. | nator Borah will reintroduce his solution proposing a treaty to outx war and Senator Capper will do rewise in a resolution asking also at action be taken with regard to , :gressor nations. 1 VALLE CRUC1S I t Valla Ci-ucis, Nov. 30.?Mrs. J- M. < mil or.

Lirmey, Republican lead?z in western North Carouna. de-lined Thursday to confirm or deny he report thai he will bo the Republican candidate for governor at he next genera! election. "It is too early to discuss candilates," Mr. Linney said in answer to he question and would not amplify hat statement in any way. The report that Mr. Linney will >e a candidate has persisted ever liner, he made an address in Win-: ton-Salem recently before the state obacco growers. The gist of that iddyess was that the state and ied;ral* departments of agriculture ihould he reorganised with a view to )btaming markets for farm prorfuets. ind pay less attention to production. Many political observers saw in hat address Mr. Linney's opening run in the campaign for governor, iut he himself tvill urlt. cav ic i? to he a candidate or not. Mr. Luiney was a candidate for governor on the Republican ticket n 1916 against the late Thomas W. Bickfttt. At that time, one of the main planks in his platform was a date-wide tax foe schools, as opposed to the present system of part local md part state taxes. Mr. Linney would not say what would be his platform if he .should decide to be a candidate in the next ?lectic!t. NORMAL NOTES Tha^ksgivinc.
