The Set ma Brick Company, a eea
era backed by the Georra M. Kor
w ixhI company of Raleigh, is an in
dustry that is doing a good business
on an increasing scale in the manu
facturing of brick. The plant is lo
cated oa the Southern railrued a mile
north of the town of SeJma where
it has been in operation for a num
ber of yearfc.
The plant has recently utilized
about all the workable clay in im
mediate reach of the plant, and it
looked as if this flourishing business
would have to migrate. Tests were
made of the clay found a mile north
of the plant in Dr. G. D. Vieka river
bottoms, and it was found that there
was clay by square miles of the finest
brick-making quality. A right was
acquired to these bottoms about the
first of the year, and now the sod
has been broken and the bottoms are
ielding their clay to the mills.
It has required an extension of the
business to reach this newly-found
day, but the indications are that this
, c!;;y will supply the mills at their
I present rate of consumption for the
next twenty-five years. A rail track
i co, meeting the mills with the bottoms
' lu;.i been laid and two plymouth mo-
:ors are used to draw the dumpers
; from their loading station to the
nn'ls. The dumpers are loaded by a
, s- am shovel machine and are then
i. . 'ed to the motor engines by a
! oinky steam locomotive. Fifteen
dumpers are used to freight the clay
to the mills. This industry gives
employment to several men and turns
out 50,000 brick a day. The bricks
are the smoth pressed variety and
find a ready sale at about $12.00 a
thousand.

KEEPING THE TAXES DOWN
Recently there appeared a state
ment that at the end of the fiscal
year a surplus existed in the treas
ury. When it was suggested that a re
duction of taxes might follow, Sana
tor Reed Smoot of Utah warned the
public that taxes could not be reduc
ed. The Utah Senator is more frank
than some other Senators and does
not hesitate to speak very plainly.
Senator Curtis of Kansas, says
there must be found new sources of
taxation.
He has found one, the billboards,
the advertising signs along the high
ways, as legitimate subjects for Fed
eral taxation.
Instead of cutting down taxes these
Senators, and perhaps others, are
planning to increase taxes.
They want more money to epend.
That is what they consider to be their
mission, to spend money, not to save
a.
The man in Congress who advo
cates saving money is not considered
to be a good politician.
But the people's attitude on this
question is not the same as that of
some of these distinguished men.
Progress has been made in putting
business into the government, elim
inating the duplication of work, re
ducing the number of useless employ
es and practicing economics.
If the good work is continued as
tt has commenced, in a little time a
reduction in taxes could take place.
The majority of the people think
they are paying high enough taxes
now.
They think they are getting too
much government and that it is cost
ing them too much. They want to
see some plan carried out which will
consider their pocketbooks a little and
enable them to enjoy just as good
government as they have today and
pay les-s for it.
These are old fashioned notions
but they exist and must be reckoned
with. Portland, Me., Press-Herald.

THE RANDLEMAN-
GREENSBORO ROAD
Grading and bridge work on the
new part of the Randleman road in
Guilford county will be let Cctober
10. Mr. Frank Page, chairman of
the State Highway Commission, has
written J. Elwood Cox, fifth district
commissioner, as follows: "I hope
nothing will enterfere, and by spring
we will have the full contract let."
Because of the newness of a part
of the route selected, it is thought
advisable to do the grading well in
advance of the hard-surface laying in
order that it may settle during the
winter.

PROPER PLANTING OF SHRUBS
Lik. Moat Other Taint, There to a
Right and a Wrens, Way ef
Doing It.
When you transplant trees, shraha,
bushes, be sure that you cut than
back sufficiently to permit them to
adsorb and take In nourishment

r delivered to you with long, frayed
roots Just as they are taken from th

leiiKth and cut sharp all bruised ends
of the thicker roots.
Because most shrubbery ts green,
even In Its flowering sea son, It Is safe
to use It In any green-leaved variety
BRalnst most any home. Remember
that nature disposes her flowers
8nlnst trees and shrubs as a back
ground. You seldom find them grow
ing In beds alone.
Flowers planted in beds, displayed
In curious shaped utensils, urns, pots
end pans, scattered about a yard are
unnatural. They are harsh and corre
spond to museum specimens. Flowers
can best be planted as borders tS)
shrubbery.
Don't forget that your backyard of

Arrange your planting plan to "plant

telephone poles, alley, outhouses and
other things can be luade less offensive

4. Yes, I know all the excuses.
I know that on can worship the

But I also know as a matter of cold

Numerous Instances Where the 8rv
ices of an Expert Brought "Div

The city planner hopes and expects
to save enough money for the city to
repay It well for the effort and money
spent, writes Harold Gary In Collier's
Weekly. In one Florida city, for In
stance, the council planned a new city
hall and was about to purchase a sit
when the new plan of the city was
submitted. It called for the city hall,
when needed, to be built In an entirely
different place. The two sites were
compared. The first was expensive,
and just enough to build on. It was
centrally located. The second, recom
mended by the expert, was less than
one-half as costly and was perhaps
twenty times as big. The building
could be placed In a big park. Sine It
