We, the grand jury of the April term of Superior court the year 1924, beg to sub mit the following report. We have passed on all bills that have been presented to us where witnesses could be obtained. We have passed on 74 bills and found 21 true bills and 3 not true company uses one hundred million pounds of sugar each year. In round numbers this is two hundred and eighty-five thousand, five hun dred and fourteen barrels of sugar. It would require 6, 250 cars of maximum loading to transport the syrup that is used in trie manufact ure of Cocoa Cola each year. This number of cars would make up 164 trains of 38 cars each and placed iles. The syrup is only a sixth of We nave also presented such mtor- mi the ingredients used in Coca Cola manufacture.

And it must not be for i gotten that there is a strong argu ment in favor of the government maintaining the project under the supervision of its own engineers. Whoever gets it must be amply supplied with money, because the project is said to be second only to the Panama canal in engineering. The report has spread rapidly that if Ford gets the project it will mean cheaper fertilizer. This, nat urally enough, has drawn many of the farmers to his camp fertilizer is always a question that stirs the farmer. But if one listens to A. H.

A I I v Wise Spending the Better Half of Thrift Thrift is commonly regarded as meaning mere ly the saving, or hoarding, of money. The fact is that thrift is primarily a spending problem, the answer to the questions, what to buy, when to buy, and where to buy it. There is only one answer to the last of these. Buy what you need from local business men, your friends and neighbors. They will give you better service, and values at least equal to those offered anywhere else. And then the dollars you spend will stay at home and pay taxes, improve roads, and build schools. Spending money at home is wise spending BANK OF WHITEVILLE WHITEVILLE, N. C. VINELAND, N. C.
