“EVERYBODY WINS” IS
SLOGAN OF CAMPAIGN
Surprise Present for Each Cou- i
rier Subscriber Paying Dur
ing This Gift Campaign.
If anybody thinks that COURIER
contestants are not going after the
$3,000.00 List of Prizes to be given
away by The Courier on Dec. . 31st
they are badly mistaken, because
some mighty fine people are covering
Randolph county and surrounding ter
ritory collecting subscriptions and
votes in one of the shortest and snap
piest Circulation Booster Prize Cam
paigns every inaugurated by a North
Carolina paper.
Several contestants called at The
Courier office last Saturday with their
first reports and others came in Mon
day and Wednesday, however, it is
not too late to enter the campaign as
no one has taken a big lead and sever
al sections of the country are not rep
resented in the campaign so far.
NOW is the best time to make a start
as this is such a short, snappy cam
paign that it will be over before one
can realize the magnitude of the
grand offer being made by The Cou
rier. ,
Contestants can turn in their sub
scription reports any day at The
Courier office, but all who can are
asked to send in their reports every
Saturday if possible.
Everybody .Wins
The fact that everybody who ac
tively takes part in the campaign will
win a prize or a cash award in pro
portion to the amount of votes earned
on the subscriptions obtained is grat
ifying indeed. The ihagnifieient
prizes are sore worth working for and
the 12% per cent cash commission to
those who do not win one of the six
grand prizes is not to be forgotten.
There are prizes and cash awards
enough for ail the contestants and a
surprise gift for each and every new
or old subscriber who pays any con
testant before Dec. 24 th.
The campaign department is located
at The Courier office, where Mrs. Wm.
C. Hammer will be glad to explain

Democrats Should
Nominate McLean
Atlanta Paper Thinks He Would
Make An Excellent Candidate
For The Presidency.
In a leading editorial in its issue
of November 23rd, the Atlanta Cons
titution, published at Atlanta, Ga.,
suggests Gov. A. W. McLean, of
North Carolina, for the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency. The
Constitution sees In the Smith
McAdoo fight the death of the Demo
cratic party, and calls upon the Dem
ocrats to nominate a man from the
south, from which 80 per cent of the
Democratic electoral votes come. Sec
tional lines have been obliterated, ac
cording to the Constitution, and there
is no reason why a candidate should
net he selected from south of the im
aginary Mason and Dixon line. Mc
Lean, argues the Atlanta paper, is!
one of the best fitted men in the coun
try for the Presidency. The south
could hold up its head with pride be
hind such a man as the Governor of
North Carolina, says the Constitution.
This is not the first time North
Carolina’s popular and able Governor
has been mentioned for the Demo
cratic Presidential nomination. In
practically every State in the south
his name has at some time or another
been mentioned, and in many north
ers States, the mention of his name
has found a ready response. No
Governor of any State is attracting
more attention nationally than the
business executive of the “Fifth
Stated i* the union.

To Return Thanks
Governor Issues Annual Thanks
giving Proclamation Accord
ing To Honored Custom.
Governor Angus W. McLean, fol
lowing a time-honored custom and in
accordance with the laws of North
Carolina, on Monday issued to the
people of the State the annual
Thanksgiving Proclamation, setting
aside Thursday, November 28th, as a
day of public thanksgiving and pray
er. With progress and prosperity on
every hand, it is most fitting that the
day be set aside upon which we
should call to mind, according to the
Governor, the fact that this progress
and prosperity may be transitory and
ephemeral unless “we realise the
virtues that made out prosperity pos
sible." ’ ,
“Our blessings,” said the Governor,
“have been manifold. We have pro
gressed along all- lines. We* have
placed the ban of our disapproval up
on ignorance and arp sincerely work
ing to rid our state of its evil in
fluence. The , development of our
great highly system, the progress
made in industry, agriculture and so
cial service, all of these are causes
for thanksgiving; honesty* patience
hud reverence for God, coupled with a
will to work, have made us a great

Highway 70 Is
Open To Seagrove
Is Now Hard Surfaced From
Virginia Line To Randolph
County Town.
The twelve-mile stretch of hard
surface road from the county home,
two miles south of Asheboro, to Sea
grove was opened to traffic all along
the route Monday. For some time
the road had been completed save for
a small stretch just north of Sea
grove, . forcing a short detour just
outside the corporate limits of the
town. This, however, has been com
pleted and is ready for use by traffic.
Work is going forward on the con
struction of the shoulders to the road.
The completion of the hard sur- i
facing of this twelve-mile stretch of
road completes the paved length from !
the Virginia state line to' Seagrove. I
Seventy-five per cent of Route 70 is !
now hard surfaced or oil treated.
From Seagrove on through Mont
gomery county the highway is of
sand-asphalt or catchinite construc
tion and from the Montgomery line
to Pinehurst is of sand clay construc
tion. From Pinehurst to Raeford
Route 70 is hard surface and is being
built of concrete from Raeford to
Lumberton. According to J. W.
Mills, fifth district engineer, pros
pects are good for the concreting of
the entire route at no distant date.
The completion of Route 70 from
the Randolph county home to Sea
grove brings to an end all hard sur
face road jobs in the fifth district ex
cept the High Point-Greensboro high
way. It is anticipated, however, that
new hard surface projects in this
district will be let about the first of
the year.

Wilson Henley
Killed In Wreck
Young Man, Formerly of Ashe
boro, Meets Death in Train
Automobile Accident.
Wilson Henley, better known as
“Snooks,” 4.8 years old, widely known
and popular young man of High
Point, son of Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Hen
ley, was killed in a train-automobile
wreck near Palm Beach, Florida, Sat
urday night, according to long dis
tance telephone messages received by
his father in High Point Details of
the accident are meagre, but it is
known that young Henley was mak
ing the rounds of the highways
checking up on some lights for the
| State highway commission of Florida
i by whom he had been employed for
! some time.
j Young Henley’s mother was on her
: way to Florida to visit her son when
| the untimely accident occurred and
probably did not know of her son’s
death until her arrival at her destina
tion.
“Snooks” Henley was bom in Ashe
boro and lived here until his parents
moved to High Point some 12 years
ago. He was popular in .Asheboro
where he was well known and as a
child was greatly loved by those who
knew him. He was of cheerful dispo
sition and in every way a clean-cut
young man of excellent character. He
went to Florida some two years ago
to obtain employment, but was handi
capped on account of his youth.
Young Henley, it is said, added some
years to his age when asked how old
he was and obtained a job with the
Palm Beach Paper Company. -Later
he secured a position with the State
highway commission, in whose service
he was at the time of his untimely
death.
He leaves besides his parents, three
brothers, Frank, Arthur and Allen
Henley, of West Palm Beach, Florida;
two sisters, Mrs. Rodney E. Snow, of
High Point; and Mrs. C. Murchinson
Walker, of Fayetteville. Mrs. Robert

provements—First Contract
Almost Completed.
Liberty, Nov. 22.—The water and
sewer works of Liberty is nearing
completion as to the first contract.
The first contract included about three
miles of sewer and four miles of wa

! age and for the purpose of regulating
1 pressure; in addition to this there is

while the remainder flows by gravity
into the central disposal plant.
The complete expenditure amounts
to about $125,000, making Liberty the
best watered and sewered town in
this State, of the same size..

Gov. McLean For Better
Cininty Governing System
Governor A. W. McLean in his
message to the Legislature of North
Carolina two years ago mentioned
something about the need of a more
business-like system of county gov
ernment. He did not lose interest in
the matter, but has been thinking
about it all along. Saturday he gave
out a statement to the newspapers
that he was not committed to any one
system of county government, but
thought the Legislature should pre
sent several good plans to the coun
ties and let each county select the
plan it liked beet. That there is need
of some uniform county system of
government, the Governor is con
vinced.
“Everywhere I went during the
campaign I found the people satis
fied with the State Government but
in a number of comities there was
complaint about the conduct of local
affairs,” said the Governor.
* “I think in many instances that

rather than to any fault of the offi

Mr. M. Farlowe, died at her home

) cancer. Mrs. Farlowe was a patient
I at Dr. Long’s hospital in Greensboro
about two years ago, underwent an

I showed some improvement. She later

Commissioner Page Is
For State Constabulary
That a State constabulary to pa
trol the North Carolina highways and
a State license for automobile drivers
will doubtless come before the next
Legislature for consideration, is the
opinion of Frank Page, State High
way Commissioner, who has been ad
vocating both for some time. Page
thinks it would require a force of at
least 100 men and salaries and up
keep would run close to $250,000 a
year. It is Page’s opinion that a
State constabulary and the State li
cense for drivers would eliminate
much reckless driving, drunken driv
ers and the like and save hundreds of
lives and thousands of dollars.
Charles Ross, attorney for the high
way commission, is authority for the
statement that 412 deaths occurred
on the highways of the State last
year from automobile accidents, not
counting 2000 accidents all told with
a property loss of nearly three mil
lion dollars. Ross is of the opinion,
like Page, that a State constabulary
would be a good thing and points to
New York and Pennsylvania as prac
tical examples of the the administer
ing it in North Carolina.
Light Vote Cast
In State Nov. 2nd
Totaled Only Half of 1924 Vote
—Overman’s Majority About
76,000 Over Hayes.
Final tabulation of returns from
the election Tuesday, November 2nd,
show that the vote cast in the State
was light. It was less than half the
vote cast in'the 1924 election, there
being no big issues to bring the peo
ple to the polls. The total vote in
1924 was 480,068. In that year Sim
mons’ majority for Senator was 101,
011, and McLean for Governor 98,814.
In the election Tuesday, November
2, 1926, the total vote was 261,825.
Overman’s majority for Senator was
76,043. The shrinkage in the State’s
vote was due largely to shrinkage in
the eastern counties where there was
little or no opposition to Democratic
county tickets. Nomination was tan
tamount to election and the voters
saw no necessity of going to the
polls.
Overman carried 86 counties in the
1926 election, leaving 14 for Johnson
J. Hayes. 'Die amendment to tha
constitution carried by a large ma
jority, so did the soldiers’ loan act.
For Congress in the Seventh dis
trict, Mr. Hammer received a total
of 31,332 votes against 24,769 for
S. Carter Williams, his Republican
opponent. Every Congressional dis
trict in the State was carried by the
Democrats. Every Democratic candi
date for solicitor was elected, save
J. A. Rousseau in the 17th, who was
beaten by John R. Jones by about 4,

the Republican majority in that dis
