Case Against Cooper A. Hall
Dismissed
The arrest of Cooper A. Hall,
Democrat, for alleged Irregularities
In the conduct of the late election
was procured by an over-zealous
partisan in that Mr. Hall was cr li
ed upon to assist a voter in mark
ing his ticket and the voter, later,
by some means, arrived at the con
clusion that he had not voted for
some on the ticket that he intended
to vote for.
Mr. Hall stated that he marked
a straight Democratic ticket for the
said voter as requested.
The hearing was held before T.
H. Williams, J. P., in the courtroom
Monday afternoon. After hearing
the evidence, Squire Williams de
cided that there was not probable
cause and dismissed the case.
Mr. Hall is believed to be an hon
orable gentleman, and it is not be
lieved he would take advantage of
one who appealed to him under the
circumstances recited.
After December 1st, when the
newly elected county officers go In
to office, it is presumed there will
be an audit of the records In cer
tain of the offices. Howpver, it is
hoped there will be as little need for
it as was the fancied necessity for
an extensive audit two years ago.
The congress whi h convenes the
first of December will be urged to
appropriate and distribute i.125,
000,000 for highway construction
among the states to help relieve the
unemployment situation. With
nearly three and a half millions idle
that sum will not go far, but it will
help. The severities of winter just
ahead present a gloomy picture for
those who have been idle for
months and have no store laid by.
The American Bar association
meeting in Chicago this week, com
posed of more than 2,000 members,
went on record as favoring the re
peal of the Eighteenth amend
ment by a vote of more than two
to one. At the same time prohibi
tion enforcement officials are ask
ing for more money for enforce
ment of the law. A total of approx
imately $17,400,000 is requested,
which is an increase of $2,400,000
Verily, prohibition is coming high.
From the big business centers the
cheerful news comes out that there
Is a slight Improvement In business.
It behooves every industry and cv
.ery Individual to lend a helping
hand to relieve the depression that
has gripped the country for the
past year.
Recovery cannot be expected allj
at once, but gradually the situa-!
tlon can be improved. To do it the
government must not be depended
upon solely for the performance
Universal Individual effort must
play the bigger part.
II
/ - The people of Alamance county'
by their vote on November 4th, ex- [
pressed their confidence in Demo
crats to manage the county's af
fairs. The county commissioners Is
the branch of the county govern
ment that will have more to do
with the management of county
matters than all others combined, i
They will choose agents to various
posts of duty. Here it behoves them
to be exceedingly careful, so that
none but fit persons be named for
any of the posts. Nor should there
be any unnecessary appointments
made?no handing out of "Jobs,"
for people who perform public serv
ice should earn their pay Just the
same as other people do. Let not
the confidence of the people l>e
abused or violated in any way.

THE DAY OF THANKSGIVING
By Henry Ward Beecher
Thanksgiving Day is the one national festival
which turns on home life. It is not-a day of eccle
siastical saints. It is not a national anniversary. It
is not a day of celebrating a religious event. It is
a day of Nature. It is a day of thanksgiving for
the year's history. And it must pivot on the house
hold. It is the one great festival of our American
life that pivots on the household. A typical Thanks
giving dinner represents everything that has
grown in all the summer, fit to make glad the heart
of man. It is not a riotous feast. It is a table piled
high, among the group of rollicking young and the
sober joy of the old, with the treasures of the
growing year, accepted with rejoicings and inter
change of many festivities as a token of gratitude
to Almighty God.
? Remember God's bounty in the year. String the
pearls of His favor. Hide the dark spots, except so
far as they are breaking out in light! Give this one
day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude.

Thanksgiving Proclamation
liv President Hoover
President Hoover has called upon the people of the
United States to observe Thanksgiving day by extending
aid to those who are in need and suffering from causes be
yond their control. (
In his annual Thanksgiving day proclamation, the
chief executive said this country has many causes for
thanksgiving. He added 4 hat as a nation, "we have suf
fered far less than other peoples from the present world
difficulties."
His proclamation follows:
"By the President of the United States, a proclama
tion.
Notwithstanding- that our forefathers endured the
hardships and privations of a primitive life, surrounded
by dangers and solaced only with meagre comforts, they
nevertheless bequeathed to us a custom of devoting one
day of every year to universal thanksgiving to Almighty
God for the blessing of life itself and the means to sus
tain it, for the sanctuary of home and the joys that per
vade it, and for the mercies of his protectioon from acci
dent, siekness, or death.
"Our country has many causes for thanksgiving. We
have been blest with distinctive evidence of Divine favor.
As a nation we have suffered far less than other peoples
from the present world difficulties. We have been free
from civil and industrial discord. The outlook for peace be
tween nations has been strengthened. In a large view we
have made progress upon the enduring structure of our
institutions. The arts and sciences that enrich our lives
and enlarge our control of nature have made notable ad
vances. Education has been rather extended. We have
made gains in the prevention of disease and in the pro
tection of childhood.

United States of America, do hereby designate Thursday,
November 27, 1930, as a national day of Thanksgiving, and
do enjoin the people of the United States as to observe it,
calling upon them to remember that many of our people
are in need and suffering from causes beyond their control,
and suggesting that a proper celebration of the day should
include that we made sure that every person in the com
munity, young and old, shall have cause to give thanks for
our institutions and for the neighborly sentiments of our
people.
"In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and
caused to be affixed the seal of the United States.

ALAMANCE COUNTY
4-11 CLUB WORK
Do the people of the county rea
lize what the 4-H club means to the
boys and girls of the county. We
are going to give a short review of
this year's work. First, will be the
Calf club work. On September 9, 1
the boys and girls living in the Al- i
tamahaw community brought out'
fourteen nice Jerseys to the school- I
house and held their annual com
munity show. For this show the
prize money was furnished by the |
Burlington Klwanls club. The boys |
and girls were well pleased with the
show. The following day, September
10, at the Sylvan school, the Syl- |
van club boys and girls brought out'
twenty-one Jerseys of superior
quality. These boys and girls went
home well pleased with their piizes.
Next on the program came the
Mebane fair. Since club work was
started years ago in tlte county
there has not been a better show
j held at this fair. Forty-three head
of nice Jerseys, a pretty picture.
The calves were of fine quality and
in excellent condition. These calves
not only won the club prizes, but
won in the open classes.
Not satisfied with three shows,
the club members decided to send
some of their calves to the State
fair in Raleigh. Eighteen picked
animals were sent to Raleigh. On
Tneatfay, October 14, these .animals
irwrasiitii
competed with several other coun
ty herds. The competition was
strong, but Alamance animals could
not be thrown out. Not a single an
imal (ailed to win a prize. Out of
the six blue ribbons for first places
Alamance won two and several sec
ond and third places. The blue
ribbons were won by calves owned
by Reid Aldridge, Haw River, and
Seth Beale, Snow Camp.
We are well pleased with the Calf
club work this year but hope to do
better next year.
We also have a 4-H Corn club in
the county. The home of this club
happens to be In the Pleasant
Grove and Union Ridge communi
ties. The boys of this club put on
the best Corn club exhibit ever
shown at the Mebane fair. This has
been a severe year on corn due to
the dry weather, but several of the
boyS have made between fifty and
eighty bushels of corn per acre.
James Rascoe, a member of the
club, made 80.2 bushels on his acre.
Can we do better? Yes, and next
year we are going to try to make
the 4-H club of Alamance lead the
state.

There is general complaint that
with all the road work throughout
Guilford county that the roads in
Rock Creek township, especially in
South Rock Creek township, over
which the school trucks have to
travel daily are in such poor con
dition ; they are not even moderate
ly good sand clay, and this, despite
the fact that Rock Creek is one of
the heavy taxpayers among the
townships. The taxpayers are be- !
coming outspoken in their com-1
plaints.
Plans are under way for the
building of another residence just
north of this place on No. 10 high- :
way.

STATE SUPPORT OF FAIR
Pointing out that Ohio and New
York spend as much as $200,000 for
the support of their state fairs and
that "South Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky cheerfully spend
from one to four times the North
Carolina deficit this year," the Pro
gressive Farmer and Southern Ru- |
ralist waxes eloquent against those
who threaten to destroy this state
instituion. "Yet because the state
lacked about $6,000 of collecting as
much as it spent on this great (
North Carolina agency of agricul- j
tural and industrial progress, some
gentlemen would have it dlscon- j
tinued. They don't ask the State ?
university or any other college to
pay its way; they don't ask any
Dther educational agency of state
governor to pay its way; but this
educational agency for the plain
dirt farmers of North Carolina
(many of whom got mighty little
education from the state in their
joyhood days) must be sacrificed."
