Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Dement. OCBRALEIGH LETTEB By M. L. SUlpmaii Raleigh, April ?3.?Durfng tire Tree* the capital city ot the State was host to educators and rotarians, the former here for serious business connected with their school work out in the counties and the latter for both busi. ness and .pleasure. Hundreds of each group were In attendance at their respective gatherings and filled hotel lobbies between sessions. The "school" for county superinten dents and chairmen of county boards of education continued for four days under tbe direction of State Superin tendent A. T. Allen. These officials came here on invitation of Mr. Allen for the purpose of studying the Han. cock schpol act passed by the recent session of the General Assembly and every phase of the new law under whictt the educational system of the State must operate during the next biennium received consideration. The State Board of Equalization was also represented and its members pledged their best endeavors in cooperating with local school authorities in mak ing the best and most effective edu cational system the State has ever had. Leniency was promised touch, ing May budgets, but these must be made upon s> uniform basis and cop ies submitted to the Board of Equali zation and tbd county commissioners. Rural supervisors may take part pay. ment of their, salaries on the same ba sis that the Board allocated funds for regular teachers' salaries, which means that a number of both white and colored supervisors will remain on the present basis, thus clarifying one of the vague provisions of the lew. The two educational groups, af ter a close study of the new school law, were In apparent agreement that Its enforcement will not seriously handicap the progress education In the State, after all the denunciations heaped upon during and immediately following the session of the General Assembly. The annual conference of the Fifty, seventh District of Rotary Interna tional, in session here on Thursday and Friday, brought to Jhe city hun dreds of Rotarians and their wives, daughters and sweethearts. Rotary stands at the head of the table in civ. Ic club organizations and Raleigh Ro-" tartans did the honors to their visit ing comrades without stint. The lo. cat committee presented a colorful program of entertaining features; the business sessions were replete with inspiring reviews of the aims and ob jects of Rotary. Henry R. Dwlre, formerly editor of the Wlnston-8alem Sentinel, was unanimously elected nominee from the district' for gover. nor. His nomination Is expected to be confirmed at tbe International con vention in Dallas, Texas next month. Around a thousand Rotarians and Ro-' try Anns were here for tbe conven. tlon. Governor Gardner was back at his post on Monday morning after a pre liminary financing trip to New York on which he scftinded out sentiment with a view to borrowing $3,860,000 for tbe State to meet short tsrm notes maturing on May 10. The Governor found nut i thing wrong with the State's ciedit In the big money mart ol the country, but ?mde no arrange ments to close a deal at this tlm* He and State Treasurer Nathan O'Berry may make another trip to arrange (or theloan If the Interest Is not too high.1 It la aaid that the State will hare' $6,350,000 (all djle on May 10th and i that $2,500,000 o( this may be taken care'of out df the general fund of the State which shows a balance now o( $4,476,000. Rather than (ermit Itself to be taxed with' excessive Interest charges the State may undertake to finance Its obligations, notwlthstand. lng the need of. State banks of the funds deposited with them by the State Tieasurer. Fortunately Mr_ O'Berry has been able to secure $3,850,000 rrom the Citizens National Bank here at 5 5-8 per cent. , On his return to the office Gover nor Gardner was constrained to take a firm stand against the mob spirit which had developed at Gastonia dur ing his absence. He let It be known that the State wonld make every ef fort to apprehend and punish the masked men who had wrecked the headquarters^ of Btriking cotton mill workers there and raided the relief store of the strikers. Solicitor John G. Carpenter was requested to take every possible step to apprehend the guilty parties and bring them to jus tice. In a special term of court, pre sided over by Judge A. M. Stack, steps yvere takep to- secure Indictments of the mob members whose identies could be learned: - State troops dispatched I I to Gastonla two or' three week* ago ob request of local authorities have J been withdrawn leaving to the tewj | enforcement officers of the city of J : Gastonla and the county oi Gaston the problem of handling the flbgravat- j lng situation with which they are con- j fronted. Governor Gardner content ed himself with having put the power of the State behind the movement to enforce the law and order at Gastonla and throughout the strike area to the extent of' taking himself away from the State on Friday loi? enough to .fill an engagement at Jamestown, Va., v. here he made an address at the an nual Cape Henry pilgrimage sponsor ed by the Norfolk Woman's Club. To day the Governor presided at a, meet ing of the Stat* Printing Commission, of which he Is.chairman, and heart, with apparent interest, suggestions of those Interested touching speclllca tlons to be used in submitting bids for the public printing running thru a two.year perod beginning July 1st. Tentative forms of specifications were presented by some of the printing es tablishments expecting to bid for a part of the contract?for Information! only. Governor Gardner recognized a number of cltixens during the week, with appointments to various posl-( tlons and commissioned a large dele, gatlon to represent the State at thel 17th annual eonventlon of the United | States Oood Roads Association, and the 11th annual convention ol the Rank bead National Highway Associa tion tp be held jointly in Memphis during the present week.

Natives of the Pacific Coast town viewed this modern invention with a great deal ol curiosity. It was an automobile. General Rafael Sanchez, commander of the State of Guerrero, drove a Mo del-A Pord phaeton- across - emrot ry from Acapulco to' Atoyac, over land so rv.gh that none had made such a journey before. He sent this wire to U.. .'/ \1 Jlp t I i 1 <1on I OM n t T mf ii rt la ? rV. a. ;nai tHree; r OHrnralt'P ttt igTlttiek-. ' "lror your pleasure please be Uni formed that the Ford ear I put chased from you is the first automobile that has ever reached this town, over a difficult country where there are no roads at all and the land is strewn, with rocks and soft sand. Motor in perfect condition alter terrible teit. Small native towns along path regar ded first automobile with positive svonitr." Your MODELTFORD is still ' . a good car THE Model T Ford led the motor industry for twenty years because of its sturdy worth, reliability and econ omy. Those same reasons continue to make it a good car. As a matter of fact, nearly one-fourth of all the auto mobiles in use today are Model T Fords. Millions of them can be driven two, three and even five more years with reasonable care and proper replacements. Figures show that the average life is seven years. Don't sacrifice your Model T, therefore, but take it to the Ford dealer and have him estimate on the cost of putting it in A1 shape. A very small expenditure may be the means of giving you thousands of miles of additional service. ' r For a labor charge of $20 to $25 you can have your motor and transmission completely overhauled. This price includes new bearings, re boring cylinders and any other work necessary. Parts are extra. Valves can be ground and carbon removed for $3 to $4 The cost of tightening all main bearings is only $6. The labor charge for overhauling the front axle is $4.50 to $5??rear axle assembly, $5.75 to $7. New universal joint will be installed for a labor charge of $3. Brake shoes relined for $1.50. Rear spring and perches rebushed for $1.75. The cost of overhauling the starting motor is $3. A labor charge of approxi mately $2.50 covers the overhauling of the generator. It will pay yon, therefore, to see your Ford dealer and have him put your Model T in good running order. By doing so yon will protect and maintain the invest ment yon have in your car and get months and years <| reliable transportation at a very low cost per mile. Ford Motor Company Parsons Motor Co.
