HAMILTON Editor Democrat: It is gratifying to me ant i an. sure it Is to the- farmers of W atauga ! comity to know that we have as our j county agent such an able an:! cr'fi ! cient man as Harry Hamilton. There has never lived in Watauga , county a man who has taken the i hoys to heart more than Harry, and I certainly think he has done a splendid job with them. He has taught them many things that will linger in their memories on and on through life. I think we should take our hats ? off to him, not only for what lie has j already done, hut what he is going to ] do for we farntets in the future, pro- ] vided we co-operate with him. Watauga is known more today | than ever before and believe me she ; hasn't got any bad reputation either, j Harry put her on the map, Th-\v j say, "Hew many good cattle can we get way up there in Watauga county I sure like the looks of your cattle?"' That's what you heard at the state fair A man from Georgia recently remarked to me "Von don't see such farm honuos and improvements down my way as you do htnv in Watauga." I .said. "And nowhere ! else in the U. S. A." So I hope in. I a few years I will not have to ex- I aggerate. Give Harry a great big | shove* and he %wiU take ua over, the j top. 1 L. A. HERTSON. Vilas, X. C CONGRESSMAN DOUGHTON I EXPRESSES APPRECIATION I am hereby expressing my deep and sincere thanks to all who supported me in the recent campaign and election. Carrying, as I did, each county in our district by a substantial majority, places me under a renewed obligation to render the best service possible to all the people. With grateful appreciation. I am, Cordially yours, R L?. DOUCirrOM. STATEMENT OF CLYDE R. GREENE TO VOTERS OF WATAUGA COUNTY During the recent campaign I expressed the opinion that each anil every citizen should vote his or her convictions in every election. I urged that in this election you vote for a change in Watauga county, but I told you if you did not feel that you should vote for the Republican candidates that you should vote for the Democratic candidates. According to the canvas of the votes from the various townships you voted by a majority of 623 for Mr. R. T. Greer. J gladly bow to the expressed will of the majority and congratulate Mr. Greer upon his victory. Despite my defeat, I assure you that I am still interested in some needed changes in conditions in Watauga county at this time. I am still opposed to the school teachers of our county having to contribute to a campaign fund in order to hold their positions as teachers; to the chairman of the board of education also holding the position of chairman of the board of elections in violation of the law of our land and the decision of our courts; to the sale of wine, 'beer or other strong drinks in our county, and to the mounting tax load. In 1933 the tax rate wa3 95 cents and the tax levied was $83,489.76, while in 1937 the rate was $1.25 and the levy $104,838.16, and this year the rate is $1.20, and the levy is $101,734.55. When the sales tax was passed we were assured that it . would give us some relief on our property, yet our taxes have increased by several thousand dollars and In addition about $26,000 in sales fl*Pa i cr /mil aa4o<1 1 ? tTT?* M> WVI1VVVCU I y CU1 U1 'W ill." auga county. 3.575 people voted for me in the county and thua expressed their approval of the things 1 advocated. I carried 10 of the county's 13 town- ; ships and I am deeply grateful to all who voted for me. Mr. Greer is pledged to carry out at least one of the things we worked for, namely, HH. to taKc wine and beer out of our county and I take this opportunity to remind him of that pledge and urge him to lose no time when the legislature meets in introducing and passing the accessary legislation to carry the said pledge into effect. I . pledge him nv co-operation in any ! way that 1 can help and I at: asking .. you who supported trie to co-opt- j ! 'ate with hint to the end that wine | and beer n.av oe banished from our I : fair county and done immediately i upon the meeting of the legislature, j Mr. Greer should not wait until the j rush of adjournment when his efforts ! :mgbt not bear fruit. I ant of the opinion that the right j to vote one's convictions and to have \ I t'.lir -i?i?oimr*mi ala.>>i/vno i r- lw. I fits: principle of free democratic .Kove-i isnent. and because of this opinion I condemn the parties j-esponsibk for the arrest ax imprisonment of Chas G.

WATAUGA DEMOCRAT??VB The Week in Washington a resume of goveknmenmkntail happenings in the national. capital. Washington, Nov. 11?In the absence oi a.-Y declaration to the contrary by Mr. Roosevelt himself, many officials in Washington assume that he is at least considering a third term. i ji *t i paojiv; iutuu>. ?uc tu??terni question was brought out into the open and discussed by two men w ho v nbers of the President's wil$inal "brain trust," Prof. Rexford Tngweli and Prof Raymond Moley of Columbia University. Mr. Tugwell was assistant secretary of agriculture through Mr. Roosevelt's first administration. Mr. Moley was for a short time assistant secretary of state. Mr. Tug we IIV:- relations with the Fiesi dent are still close and friendMr. MV.ov has been for several ] >-r ars one of the severest critics of } vvashington observers, therefore, j place much significance, too much I perhaps, on the fact that in the pub- j V- debate. Tiigwell vigorously atlvo- j voce.ted Mr. Roosevelt's nomination ! 1940 end Moley as vigorously opposed the idea. It is one of the raws which show which way the political wind is blowing, though not in itself conclusive of anything. Taken with Other manifestations, however, it is held here to indicate that liic President is toying with the idea of doing something which none of his predecessors ever had the nerve to do. It is regarded as niore likely because of Mir Roosevelt's well-known delight in smashing precedents. Lately the talk about a third term has taker, a new and curious angle, and efforts have been made by superstitious people to impress upon the President that it would be fatal to him t > be re-elected in 1940. This is Iwspd upon the fart, dug up by a! kit newspaper correspondent I hero, that in the past 118 years every j President elected in a year the numeral of which ended in zero has. died in office, thzve of them by assassination. Jefferson, elected in 1M)0, and Monroe, elected lit 1820, lived long lives after their retirement and died i cacciuliy in t-e<t: but Gen. William Henry Harrison, elected President in 1840, died only a month after taking office, Abraham Lincoln, elected in l.SUO, was assassinated, and the same tale befell Gen. Garfield, elected in 1580 and Major MeKinley, elected in 1900. Warren Harding', the last President v ieetect in a year ending in a cipher, 1920, died in the second year of his administration. Health StIH Good To ?e sure, if the superstitions prophets of disaster are right, it will be dangerous for any man of any party to be elected President in IP 10. If Mr. Roosevelt should run and be re-elected there is nothing to suggest that he would not live out his full third term, barring accident. The condition of the President's health remains perfectly amtazing to people who predicted when he was elected in 1932 that he would never live out his first term. The physical handicap under which he suffers affects only his legs. He will always need help in walking or getting into a car and cannot negotiate stairs at all, but those closest to him say that no President in recent years has taker: such good care of himself as Mr. Roosevelt does. He has to an unusual degree the ability to let others do the worrying. He delegates details to subordinates and goes on frequent restful vacations. These periods of relaxation, combined with his daily exercise in the White House swimming pool, have Enabled him to maintain the perfect physique which he had in his vnuno - ?o i days before the attack of infantile :>a ralysii, which laid him low when ic was 39. the year after he ran for .ice-president on the Democratic .ickct in 1020. There are few men >f 56 who can compare with him in Physical condition. Smoothing Out Antagonism Assuming that he really wants to >e re-elected, observers here, not all >f whom are in the President's conidcnce, are saying that his strategy vill be one of pacification of waring elements within his own party md of smoothing out the antagonisms between the administration ' md the industrial and business lead- : ?rs of the nation. The next two years, as these ob;crvers see them, will be marked by ? :onsolidation and defense of experi- 1 nents already undertaken rather han the projection of new reforms. < rhe Prseidential veto power will dis- I >lace his "must" in matters of leg- ' Blation, in this point of view. i Farm control, will face the artrongst fire of any of the new deal pro- < i arrjs. The expectation is that the i administration will defend the ex- 1 sting AAA, oppose radical price fix- i sg and export dumpires on a larger 1 cale, or increased farm subsidies i inless new taxes are provided for fi- { ancing them.

A LOCAL CHURCH t SERVICES ADVENT CI IK 1ST! AN Dr. F. E. Wurman, Pastor The revival meeting- closed last Monday night. Evangelist Whitman was not able to remain longer and Rev. Sizemoro had to get back to Kansas t*?;s week. It was a good meeting for the short time it con- $ tinned. There were four additions j to the ehurch. G Evangelistic seivices will be con- G tinued iTor* some time at t.he regular a Sunday services, both morning and night. All members of the church should continue their special prayers and efforts to interest others in the greatest gilt ever offered to man? the gift of eternal life Everybody is welcome at these special services held in the 'Friendly Church." Come and bring some one with you! WH.ST BAPTIST v Key. J. C. Canlpe, Pastor. ! 1 If you give one dollar to our Bap- r tist mission cause it will bo divided ( in linn. une-ntiu goes lo foreign [ missions. One-half will be spent at j home, to evangelize, teach, train, f lira] anil enlist all our people, In- f eluding tlie Indians and negroes and r even foreigners in our land. A. part \ of it goes to train our preachers and missionaries, and some of it to take <] care of them when they become old i and retire. If you wish your dollars t to really do God's work in the world, the best way I know is to put it into = our mission cause. North Carolina Baptists gave last, year one-half million dollars for mission causes and = less than five per cent was used in < overhead or for the purposes of getting it to the objects designated. No } oilier big business in the world operates so cheaply. CALENDAR OF LUTHERAN SERVICES Alt. Pleasant: 0 Services 1st Sunday of each month f at 11 a. rn.
