Keep Your Money
Safe in the Banks
The following editorial from the Mor
ganton News-Herald should serve as a
warning to the few misguided ones who
keep large sums in their homes or places
of business:
"The Leonhardt robbery here last
week should be a warning to any
business house, or individual, that it
is not safe to keep money in any
large amount in any other place
than a bank. Mr. Leonhardt took too
long a chance in keeping as much
as $3300 in his store. If he had de
b posited it in the bank he would still
L have his money."

(CLtARBNCK ORIPPIN)
The Formation of Buncombe
County
, : Colonel William Davidson, who
• , represented Rutherford county in
' j the house of representatives in 1791,
'was a son of John Davidson and was
'] a first cousin of General William
j Davidson who succeeded Griffith
Rutherford in the generalship when
the latter was captured at Camden.
General Davidson was killed at Cow
! an's Ford, on the Catawba River
! February 1, 1781. Col. William Dav
• idson was a brother of Samuel Dav
| idson who was killed by the Indians
• in 1781 or 1782 at the head of the |
I Swannanoa River, and was the first j
' representative of Buncombe county
in the State senate, taking a prom
inent and active part in the prepara
tions made by the North Carolinians
for the battle of Kings Mountain.
In 1781 or 1782 settlers from the
j block house at Old Fort, McDowell
; county as it is now, crossed the
mountains to the head of the Swan
nanoa River and became tresspass
ers on the Cherokee territory, the i
I
I Blue Ridge being at that time the
boundary line. Samuel Davidson, his
j wife and child were among the first.
They brought a female negro slave i
with them, and settled a short dis-,
tance east of Gudger's Ford on the
Swannanoa River, and near what •
is now Azalia. He was soon after
wards killed by the Indians, and his,
wife and child and slave hurried j
through the mountains back to Old
Fort. An expedition set out to avenge
his death, with the late Major Ben
Burgin, who died at Old Fort in
November 1874, at the age of 95,
among the number;, and conquered
the Indians at the mouth of Rock
House creek. By this however,
several other settlements had been
affected on the Swannanoa from
its head to its mouth.by the Alex-!
anders, Davidsons, Smiths and others,
the earliest being about the mouth
of Bee Tree creek, a little above this
being the Edmundson field, the
first cleared in the present coun
ty of Buncombe. Soon another com
pany passed through Bull Gap and
settled on upper Reems Creek in
Buncombe, while still others came in
by the way of what is now Yancey
county and settled on French Broad
river above the mouth of Swannanoa
and on Hominy creek. Some from
South Carolina settled still higher on j
French Broad.
The Swannanoa river was now
recognized as the dividing line be- i
tween Rutherford and Burke coun
ties, from which portions
| Buncombe was subsequently form
jed and named for Edward Bun
' combe who had been a colonel in
ithe Revolution. In 1791 David Vance
| and Col. William Davidson, the form
ier representing Burke and the lat
' ter Rutherford county, agreed upon
a formation of a new county from
portions of both these counties west
of the Blue Ridge, its western
1 boundary to be Tennessee line.
In April, 1792, at the residence of
Col. William Davidson on the south
bank of the Swannanoa, half a mile
above its mouth, subsequently called
Gum Springs, Buncombe countw was
organized, pursuant to an act which
had been ratified January .14, 1792.
Thus William Davidson, who had
been one of Rutherford county's
leading citizens, was lost to the coun
ty and he now became an outstand
ing man of affairs in the new coun
ty of Buncombe. He was at once se
lected as the county's first represen
tative in the General assembly. Dur
ing Davidson's long and useful car
eer he served his county well and
capably, and was the leader in pol
itical, social and religious life of his
county for many years.

THE HAPPY FAMILY
| "They do have such good times to
gether!"
i Little Mrs. Turner's eyes follow
ed wistfully the disappearing figures
of the MacDougall's, her neighbors
across the way. Lunch - and camera
- and sweater-laden, with the dog
bounding joyously before them, they
were off—father, mother, and the
three young MacDougall's—for a
Saturday tramp in the woods.
"I was asking Mrs. MacDougall on
ly yesterday," little Mrs. Turner went
on, "how it is that although they all
have special friends and hobbies of
their own, they still manage to work
and play and plan together so many
. good times. And do you know what
Mrs. MacDougall answered. She
laughed and said, "Well I really think
, it's The Youth's Companion! In fact,
I'm so sure of it that I should like to
order it for a year as a present from
our family to yours. Six months from
i now you can tell me if I wasn't
right.' "
The MacDougall's are just one of
thousands of households where The

To the
first half-million
new
Ford owners
TO THE lialf-million men
and women who have re
ceived new Fords in the last
eleven months, there is no
need to dwell on the per
formance of the car.
You have tested its speed
*n the open road. In traffic
you have noted its quick ac
celeration and the safety of
its brakes. You know how
it climbs the hills. On long
trips and over rough
stretches you have come to
appreciate its easy - riding
comfort. Continuous driv
ing has proved its economy
of operation and low cost
of up-keep.
This is an invitation to
you to take full advantage
of the service facilities of
the Ford dealer organiza
tion so that you may con
tinue to enjoy many thou
sands of miles of carefree,
economical motoring.
The point is this. You
have a great car in the new
Eord. It is simple in design,
constructed of the best ma
terials and machined with
unusual accuracy. It is so
well-made, in fact,
that it requires sur- jjjt
prisingly little 1
FORD MOTOR COMPANY
attention. Yet that doesn't
mean it should be neglected.
Like every other fine piece
of machinery, it will serve
you better and longer i£
given proper care.
One of the best ways to
do this is to take your car
to the Ford dealer every 500
miles for oiling and greas
ing and a checking-up of
the little things that have
such a great bearing on long
life and continuously good
performance.
Such an inspection may
mean a great deal to your
car. To you it means thou
sands upon thousands of
miles of motoring without
a care—without ever lifting
the hood.
Ford dealers everywhere
have been specially trained
and equipped to service the
new Ford. You will find
them prompt and reliable
in their work, fair in their
charges, and sincerely eager
to help you get the greatest
possible use from your car
for the longest period at a
minimum of trouble and
expense. That is the
true meaning of
Ford Service•
