1 hei e is a vast difference between i
. ne old C our'.housc and the now
inarlde Court house strung with ban- j
jo wires to eliminate the sound and
yet no one can hear what is said more
than 2n feet from the bar. In the j
old < '.urt H.m-C you could hear just i
as well on the hack seat as you could
on the front. I have >ai.i enough
about this marble Court House to
make those who participated in itsj
building curse me in their dreams |
and .he tax payers to shed tear, when '
ihi-y come to .Murphy and see how
til. ir tax money was foolishly spent.
^ hat a man sows somebody must
leap. We have these debts on hand
wherein we have agreed and obligat
ed ourselves to pay the principal and j
interest am: the only way an individ- !
ual can pay .his debts is to practice '
economy and cut expenditures. The
same principle should be carried out
by any county in o'rdcr to pay debts
and reduce taxation. We must use
the word, "economy" as a signboard
to success. TliU means ihat all need
le.-- offices and officials must be cut
out and abolished.

with boih cnn.lidates for he office
of K(-ister of Pceds and f ich one
stated that if the Auditor's office
was abolished he- would be glad to
have the job at SS0.00 per month
v hich would enable I hen to employ
| a clerk.
The Legislature uhould substitute
a satisfactory inferior court that
would ? liminate the prisoners from
the Jail and petty cases from the
Super: v Court. The complete sy

a mple and direct method of a<i

a Super*: r Court Judge stated that
the Grand Juries of th?- Counties were
r :ng the lax payers the sum of
Six Hundred Thousand Dollars a
year. Is it worth this -umV It these
changes could be made and put into
operation it would sa\- the tax pay
?- approximately Fifty Thousand
Dollar- annually.
I advocated most of these things
when 1 was a candidate in the Pri
mary to represent this County in
the General Assembly of the State
of North Carolina. Some of my
enimn pointed the finger of scorn
at my back and said. "There goes
that ex-convict candidate." I do
not deny serving a sentence of ten
months on the County Roads. I
could have evaded the sentnee and
the Courts by deserting my boy who
wa-i involv? d in *?he ca?e at the time.
1 pur up a fight and sacrificed my
? It" f r him. I have no apologies
to mak<* to anyone about that situ
ation. He sleeps now in the new
grave-yard at Murphy and if he were
ilive and here n? w I would do the
-am,, thing a thousand times over.
Judge Har.vood is now serving sen
tence of 12 months in the State
Penitentiary because he '.tied to pre
pare a way for his daughter's escape
and keep her from the prison walls.
The Judge sacrificed himselt for his
daughter and after he has served
his -entcnc* ami paid the penalty of
the law th< Governor of this State
should re-instate and appoint him t"
another judgeship and will do so if he
loves .his daughter as Harwood loved
hi^. provided no other intervening
circumstances appear. A man that
will not stand by his child in the
time of need and distress is not
worthy of being called a man. he
ought t be lined up with the animals
: e low 1 i creation. Sometime
,f. . the Chief t Police of Murphy
\vh- shot down in cold blood and left
to die upon 4.li" ground with no one
t hear his last words. I ^ at hi?
funeral and heard his grief -stricken
father say. "I wish 1 could take your
place." Do not talk to me about a
man not standing by his child. Right
r wrong we are with them, as the
Indians in their Treaty to W:Uiam
P nr -aid. "As long as the moon and
stars may shine."

Mr. Farnham and Mr. Cray went j
into three of these silos ami found j
them in pet feet condition. If they 1

twelve dollars each. For instance. {
Mr. Penlaud's trench silo cost hitn 1
about six dollars, including thirty '
houi> of labor, and he ?has twelve
tons of feed in it taken from three

from thi>* silo will feed Mr. Penland*s 1
four cows for ISO days.
Moore Cinfirms
Rumor Abcut The
Plymouth Six
Persistent 'rumors that a new Ply
mouth car shortly to be announced
w-.uld bo a six clyinder automobile
of lower price than that of current
Plymouth models, was confirmed
here today by E. C. Moore, Plymouth
dealer at Murphy.
Altthough no definite announce
ment date was named, Mr. Moore
slated that the new cars would make
their appearance here within a few
weeks.
"The N\-w Plymouth Six." said
Mr. Moore, is thi* product of a new
era of automdbile manufactured.
The recent economic stress has stim
ulated the progress of automotive
design far ahead ot the amount of
advance usually achieved in any three
year period. Machine itool manu
lacturers have volunteered more
new designs recently than usual.
Machine tool design nas kept pace
with the demand for finer but more
economical manufacturing rjethods.
Intricate machines that operate to
almost unbelicveable dimensions are
now available. Amplifyng gauges
that literally s-plit hairs not once Lut
many tinieSj. are a part of the gener
al production scheme.
"Thus the engineering laboratory
model may be reproduced in the com
meiical product wit?h absolute accur
acy. The Plymouth Six is a product
of these new conditions. Only these
r? cent developments permit the pro
duction of a car of so low a price and
the quality of past Plymouths with
many new features. The mammoth
Plymouth plant in Detroit has beer,
completely j-e-tooled. Millions ot
dollars have been spent for new ma
chinery."
At the request of factory officials,
the local dealer is not yet announc
ing the specific features of t.his new
Plymouth. However, he stated the
new Plymouth Six is a full-sized, full
tread car and it retains the features
namely. Floating Power, automatic
which distinguished its predecessor
clutch, Free Wheeling, easy-shift
silent second transmission, all-steel
body, rigid-X frame and a six clyin
der engine of Chrysler Motors' ex
clusive design and build.
"The new Plymouth Six," said Mr.
Moore, "is moreover, a beautiful car.
skillfully designed to combine the
most popular beauty and style ele
ments found ordinarily only in cars
of a much higher price range.
"We have not been informed as
yet of the exact price of this new
motor car," he said, "but we know
that it will bear the lowest price ever
placed on a ChTsyler Motors' pro
duct."

SARGON SOFT
MASS PILLS HAVE
ENTIRELY FREED ME
OF CONSTIPATION
The commonest curse of mankind!
i* < oustipution. It jiouons u.-?. breaks
down vouthful strength ami visor, j
iis prematurely. and leaves us
nu victim of countless diseases.
Millions are slaves to the laxative
l.abii. The effect of ordinary cathar
tics in only temporary: they weaken
howel action and lose their effect
The more we tike the more we have
to take.
A New Discovery
Bile, prepared by the liver, is N'a
?-,reV great weapon ani?in??i consti
pation. It is a natural laxative, antl
aepiic and untlacld. Bile la also a
t'U-v-ant without which sound dices-,
lion is impossible.
I'ntil the diseovery of Sargon Soft
Mass Pills, we have been blasting
out the intestines with cathartics
and purges, believing that they
s'imuluted the liver. Science now
know? t! rit calomel, salts, oils mn<i
othe-- o--.lir.T- laxative drues hare
no effect whatever on the liver.
Srt si'ix Sof: Mass Pills- contain an
rsn*7:nsr substance which hltrhest
ir * Iff I authorities nsree Is the only
*?i."eciive stimulant to the biie pro
'iucinsr activity of the liver known to
Materia Medina.
Unlike ordinary cathartics, thit
substance does not ahock or upset
the system. It does It* work by gent
ly stimulating1 the liver to clean.-*
itself by increasing: its production
of bile ? a more natural and thorough
laxutivo than can ever be deviled
by man.
Sargon Sofc Mass Fills are not like
any laxative you have ever takeu.
They are so gentle and thorough in
their action that there is nothing
about them to remind you that you
|liave ever taken a medicine, and
'most remarkable of all. their diiec

the dose until the point is readied
where you no longer require a laxa

ONE WAY COACH TRAVEL
BARGAIN FARES
At 1 Y? c per mile between a'l stations, Ashe
ville and Murphy. For an experimental pe
riod, November 1st to January 31st, 1933.
WHEN YOU RIDE ON THE
SOUTHERN RAILWAY
You are assured of a comfortable seat in a
modern day coach. You are. not fatigued as
a result of being jostled about in a lighter
form of conveyance. You are not exhausted
as a result of nervous strain driving an auto
mobi'e yourself or from keeping your foot on
the brake [figuratively] while conscious of
the other fellow's driving.
When you ride or ship your freight via
the Southern Railway System, a part of your
money is returned to you through some
channel of trade because of its large employ
ment of labor, purchase of materials and
supplies and generous contribution to taxes
in various forms, all rebounding to the ben
efit of those residing in the territory which it
serves.
