Democrats Still Strong Careful weighing of the situa tion does not warrant the con clusion that Ihe Republicans are likely to ; a in control of either the house or the senate. On the face of tilings. Ihe odds are over whelmingly that both branches of the general assembly will re main Democratic. On the other hand, it has been recognized that there are ele ments of uneertainity in this year's political currents which are possibilities of a turnover. These possibilities are such as to (five encouragement to the Re publican campaign committees to put forth their utmost cITorts through the spring, summer and fall. The next seven or eight months, therefore, will be mark ed by great activity in politics. Have I'phill Fight The Republicans would have togain ten or 11 seats to capture the senate, and it is clear they would have an uphill fight. They would ha \e to win practically 24 'cats in the lower congress to Wire control there. This cannot occur unless there is a political upheaval of tremendous propor tions. However, state Republican leaders do not look upon it as such a hopeless task: in fact, they radiate eonfiilenee. Their hopes or nains ill the 1931 general as sembly are haseil upon the after oath of unemployment and de pression: on the opposition to lie present tax program; on agri- | cultural conditions, especially in Sslcrn North Carolina; and. to ?marked extent, on the flare-up the Itailcy-Sinunons fight. TheG. O. P. leaders believe the bitterness in this campaign will "et them large gains in all sec tions or the state; the Democrats "?f not certain. While willing to nmit certain defections within "rty ranks, they are not will I to helieve that it will reach juch large proportions as some I it forecast.

EARLY MAP OF NORTH CAROLINA ^-=^> RLAT has been the growth and progress of North Carolina since Sir Walter Raleigh's first expedition to America landed here in 1584. The land was first named Virginia in honor of Queen Elizabeth of England, the virgin Queen. In 1663 the name was changed to Carolina for King Charles 11. North Carolina became a member of the Union by ratifying the Federal Constitution at Fayetteville on Novem ber 21. 1789. Our State comprises 31,193,600 acres. The population is about 3,000,000. of which only three-tenths of one per cent are foreign born. North Carolina leads the world in tobacco manufacture and in numerous other important enterprises. Among other things it ranks first in the United States in the number of native minerals and in the number of cotton mills. It ranks fourth among the states in agriculture. The State is constantly expending great sums to improve its schools, highways, etc. ' * Pictures and articles of geographical, historical, industrial and educational facts about our State, of interest and value to every proud North Carolinian, will appear weekly in this paper. These articles will give such information in condensed form without sacrificing the in^portant tacts. Dickey Chevrolet Co. Puts On Great Used Car Sale The Greatest ten-day sale of used cars staged locally is announced for tomorrow by Dickey Chevrolet Com pany. Twenty automobiles of all makes each completely recondition ed, will be offered. "Unusued transportation" is the key-word of the sale, according to Mr. Dickey. "That is what cars reall mean, service that has not yet been used". "Too many persons have the wrong impression of used cars and the value that lie in them. This results from the unfortunate employment of the world 'used* which implies a previous ownership and a reduced worth." "Today cars are built with years of life and limitless thousands of miles in them. Drivers are more ef feeient today. Cars are serviced more often than formerly. Better roads reduce abuse of travel. Cars are traded in when the bulk of their lives is still ahead of them. Some of i them have been driven only a little 1 longer than is necessary to break them in. Thousands of so-called us ed cars being offered at prices far below their actual calue are better than cars of like age still being run by their original owners." "Backing our policy of careful trade-ins is the national Chevrolet policy of completely reconditioning a car before we offer it for re-sale. Every part of such a car carefully checked, and if not up to onr rigid standards, is repaired or replaced. The result is a car in more nearly perfect condition and with more service in it than if it was still in its first owner's hands." has an excellent chance to win many scats in boih houses this year, and prepare tor the 1932 gubernatorial campaign. In fact, (?. O. P. leaders are so confident that at least three candidates have already been put forward by their friends for the Repub lican nomination. Heretofore, it has been generally a tough pro position to find even one candi date willing to buck up against the certain Decocratic landslide.
