COUNTY VOTES SOLIDLY AGAINST ALL AMENDMENTS Amendment to Increase Legis lators Pay Passes in State— ! Others Defeated The constitutional amendment in creasing the salaries of members of the legislature apparently was ap proved by the voters at the election Tuesday week, but those providing additional solicitoral districts and for classification of property for tax ation appear to have failed, on face of the official returns from over the state tabulated Monday. The returns showed that 1,529 of the state's 1,573 precincts gave the' amendment to increase the legisla tors pay 133,657 votes for and 119,- .275 against. The proposal for permitting addi tional solicitoral districts showed de feat with 113,364 for and 126,913 against, while that of permitting classification of property for taxation lost 111,891 for and 134,950 against. County's Vote 1 Rutherford county voted solidly against all three amendments. The 'county's vote is as follows: Amendment to constitution of North Carolina fixing salaries of members and presiding* officers of the general assembly at six hundred dollars and seven hundred dollars re spectively, and providing additional per diem for extra session—for 2025; against 3007.

P ' GOVERNOR ALFRED E. SMITH A democratic party—one that be lieves in the principles of democracy —could find nothing in the campaign waged by Governor Alfred E. Smith to repudiate. He waged a Democratic campaign from beginning to end. But the principles of democracy were minor issues. Party pique, religion, prohibition and entrenched privilege, with some snobbery and a certain amount of bigotry were the elements stirred into the political mixture. Smith battled as a Democrat. He was opposed for reasons wholly out side of any tenets of the party that nominated him. The result reveals that there are in this country more than 12,000,000 people who are Dem ocrats first, last and all the time. They are liberal in their views, un selfish in their motives and are per haps just as fundamentally religious as the band of "saints" who cam paigned against him for religious reasons. Governor Smith was frank. In fact he was franker than any candidate for the office of president has ever been in all the history of the coun try. He was refreshing and interest ing. He brought into the open for discussion questions thoroughly in need of an airing. In this he has ren dered a great service to the coun try. During the next four years what Governor Smith has said to the coun- glares THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER IS, 1928 try will "soak in" and there will be conclusions reached that will refresh American life and perhaps stimulate "intellectual honesty" among the people. j There is nothing in the Smith cam paign for true Democrats to be ash amed of. The party has been defeat ed—but minorities are not always wrong.—Spartanburg Herald.

We know we have. But, looking back over the years, we're dead sure we made no mistake when we tied up with Goodyear Tires. We realize there are other tires on which we could have made a longer profit; other tires we could have sold cheaper; other tires on which we could have had all sorts of special concessions. Just the same, we know from what our customers say that for a permanent tire business there is no better keystone than Goodyear dependability and quality. LOOKING THEM OVER i Our conviction about Goodyear Tires isn't the result of a sudden bright idea or of any high pressure salesman's bally-hoo. Not a bit of it. Every so often we make a trip to Akron, Ohio, the world's tire center, and look over the various tires on their home grouijds. We've been through factory after factory there and have always come away with the same idea—that Goodyear Tires are the most ex pensive tires to build, and in the long run, the cheapest tires to buy. It seems to us a lot of other folks have somehow gained this iden tical idea—the world over, more people ride on Goodyear Tires than on any other kind. THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE Motorists are beginning to learn nowadays that there's a big diff erence in tires, although they all may look pretty much alike. Some are made with skimpy short-staple cotton; some have an ov er-dose of "filler" in the rubber of the tread; some are long on looks, and short on quality. But you don't have to have a microscope to be sure that the Good year Tire you get is a real money's worth—their big average mileages tell the story. .. , . c .. Those average Goodyear mileages are so darned good that with them as a basis we ve been able to build up the biggest and steadiest growing tire business in this part of the country. , Al ,l*? a. 1 !' w e' r e mighty proud to be selling Goodyear Tires—it's a real satisfaction to deliver merchandise so reliable and sound HOW ABOUT AN EXTRA TUBE? Goodyear Tires deserve Goodyear Tubes. These tubes are tested by stretching* under wat er. Extra heavy extra strong —no pin holes—no slow leaks. We have your size. . » Cliffside Motor Company Cliffside, N. C. Elanton and Messrs. Roy and Roscoe Blanton spent a while Thursday night at Mrs. J. M. RandaU's.
