Dry Forces Are Organized In All State’s Counties According To Carl K. Burgess, Director, In Charge Of Or ganizing The State. Many Speakers Out In All Parts Of State, Including Judge E. Yates Webb And Clyde R. Hoey. Raleigh, Oct. 2.—When the sun rose Sunday morning, October 1, it rose upon a North Carolina in which the Dry Forces were organized in every one of its hundred counties, accord ing to announcement by Cale K. Bur gess, Campaign Director of the Unit ed Dry Forces. In half or more of the counties, the organization reaches clear down to the precinct, and other counties are swiftly lining up their every precinct for campaign activi ties. The intense fervor with which the Dry Forces are at work is indicated by a report of one county Chairman as follows: “I am putting in the field of my county one hundred vol unteer speakers. They will visit ev ery community and every church and schoolhouse in the county. I am mak ing the campaign just as intense as I possibly can, and believe that the Dry Forces of this county will have a large majority of the vote. ” This is only typical of many others. Various counties are organizing their precincts and selecting their candidates with such rapidity that it keeps everybody in the Dry Head quarters here on the jump to keep up with it all. It will be interesting to a vast number of dry people to know that the Iredell county delegate of the Dry Forces is Thomas H. Steele. He is the author of the folder entitled “What Has the 18th Amendment Done ?” which has been circulated ov er North Carolina by thousands upon top of thousands. In the last minute rush of the dosing hour Saturday, two or three orders calling for six thous and of these folders had to be filled.

Bossong Moves To Open Mill At Early Date As Open Shop Letter Sent To Every Employee On Payroll September 27th, Date Of Mill’s Closing. It appears to the citizens of Ashc boro that in spite of circumstances, the Bossong Hosiery Mills, is en deavoring to open (their plant at an early date in fairness to their em ployees and also in so doing in the hopes of opening (before unfilled or ders now on hand are cancelled. It is understood that some substan tial increases and adjustments have been made in the various depart ments endeavoring to line up their wage scale with plants in this vi cinity. It is also known that a letter has been sent to each of the employees on the pay roll of September 27th, on which date the management closed the mill, requesting each employee to signify and advise the manage ment their desire to return to work. It is apparent to the local citizens and community in general that this is without question of doubt a will ing spirit of cooperation on the part of the management of the Bossong Hosiery Mills, in the face of con ditions rather than having the plant remain idle for an indefinite period which without question of doubt would work considerable hardships on their employees and would no doubt throw a good portion of them out of work and. in want. The following letter has been mailed to each worker of the closed plant: The Bossong Hosiery Mills, Inc., is considering the reopening of their plant, on the date which will be posted on the mill window, as soon as these letters are returned, on the following basis only: The plant will be operated as an open shop. The scale of wages will ibe those in effect on the Payroll starting September 16, plus the following schedule of increases in piece work rates, which are in line with other mills in this vicinity. The opening of the plant is contingent on a sufficient number of employees signifying their inten tion to come to work on the open ing date, and providing, that orders now on the books, will not have been cancelled by the opening date. The return of this letter signed by you, will be considered by us, as an expression of your willingness to co operate with us and return on the foregoing basis. This letter has been sent to each and every employee who was in our employ on September 27th, 1933,— the day we dosed the mill. BOSSONG HOSIERY MILLS INC. STYLE FLASHES The higher neckline is very definite ly a high-style point of the mode. It has been adopted for evening as well as for daytime. The evening versions of this new feature are often inter preted in cowl effects high in front. Vionnet models often carry out this effect in front and back, the back be ing draped quite low. It is favored also for daytime frocks, the back drape being higher, of course, than that for evening. Linen handkerchiefs—the rule for school—are smart and practical when given that personal touch, the mono gram, which is so easily applied now by heat and pressure. Rayon faille with a flash of satin is smart and nenv in the mode. There are frocks with quaint quilting pat terns featured on satin sleeves, often with matching Ascot scarf. Faille makes a grand comeback this season. The fabric is rich and the new colors are regal. There are such new color combinations as to mato red and turquoise. The bias half square of silk or ray on is a blessing when it comes to fill ing in a low cut neckline of a last sea son frock and bringing it up to date by giving it a close—round-the-neck appearance.

THE MOTORISTS WHO TAKE CHANCES You see them on streets and highways every day—.motorists who take chances. You see them turning corners at high speeds. Or stealing another car’s right of way. Or passing on hills and curves. Or driving on the wrong side of the road. Or catting in and out of thick traffic. Or coming roaring into intersections <nd road junctions without looking to either side. Or operating at speeds which are obviously higher than are safe under driving conditions of the moment. And, every once in a while, you see such a motorist cause an accident. Perhaps there is little damage done. Or perhaps a Ijfe is lost and valuable property is need lessly destroyed. The reckless motorist comprises ten per cent or less of the driving population. But he causes ninety per cent of the accidents. If the reckless drivers simply injured each other it wouldn't be particularly im portant to the rest of us. But they seldom do that—they maim and kill' the careful, the competent, the pru dent And you never know who’s going to be next This year about thirty thousand people ate going to be killed be cause someone was careless, reck less, discourteous. Not one of a thousand of those deaths is really occurrence which is almost as ranr ms the (dodo. They oan all be pre vented. And they will be whenthere those who make pis css of carnage: out of public highways.
