are indebted V) Mr. Clarence J'
Griffin, County Historian, for a copy j
of his recent publication, "Revolu- i
tionary Service of Colonel John «
Walker . and Family \and Memoirs ]
of Hon. Felix Walker." This is a "j
most interesting history and deals >
with some of the outstanding former 1
citizens of this section of the coun- i
try.
Mr. Griffin is to be highly com- ,
mended for his efforts in arousing
interest in local history. Our folks 1
should be vitally interested in the !
history of Rutherford county or any
thing that relates to this' great coun
ty.—Rutherford County News.

DEMOCRATS
WON'T BE MISLED.
TBe last of the debates between!
Messrs. Bunagan and Hamrick was
held at Ellenboro Tuesday night. A
large crowd was present. Just what
has been accomplished by the speak
ers is a question. However, it is
good to have a checking up at times
on both political parties. The Cour
ier is a Democratic newspaper and
the editor does not believe Ruther
ford county is going to place in of
fice a few Republicans just because
their leader is taking advantage of
many things for which the Demo
cratic party is not responsible. It
seems that Mr. Hamrick is centering
his fight upon the Board of County
Commissioners and endeavoring to
make the voters believe that by
sending him to the Legislature will
rure every evil that has befallen us.
While he is an able man, The Cour
ier believes that his opponent will fill
all the requirements demanded of a
Representative and is just as able to
put through any measure for the
benefit of the county as is Mr.
Hamrick. Why should the Democratic
voters of the county send a Republi
can to Raleigh? And why should they
elect any Republican to county of
fice? Are we to turn the affairs of
the county over to a set of Repub
-icans just because they claim that
a Democratic Board of County Com
missioners has made a few-mistakes
—granted that they have — and that
claim is only a Republican vote get
ting scheme. The Democrats offering
for office in this county are all true
and tried men of experience, have
the welfare of the county at heart,
and if elected will serve to the best
interests of the county at large.
We do not believe the Democrats
of the county will be blinded to their
best interests, and the interests of
the Democratic party, by being led
astray by extravagant claims made
by a few Republican office seekers.
Therefore we beseech every one of
them to go to the polls on Tuesday,
November 4, and vote the straight
Democratic ticket.
PASTORS' ASSOCIATION
MEETS MONDAY
The Rutherford County Pastors'
Association will meet in the Spin
dale House, Spindale, Monday morn
ing at ten o'clock. Rev. E. B. Jen
kins, of Rutherfordton, will lead the

munistic Activities in our Commu
nity." All pastors of Rutherford
county are urged to be present.

A COMMUNICATION
FROM DR. PHILIP NORRIS
| Rutherfordton, Sept. 27.—Editor
i The Courier: —There seems to be
some misunderstanding in the coun
■ ty as to my political status and
many people think that I have ceased
to be a Democrat and have turned
! Republican. Such, however, is not
• the case; I have consistently as an
I individual supported the Democratic
, party, county, state and national
whenever I have been in residence
■ long enough to qualify as a voter. I
supported Hon. Josiah W.. Bailey in
' the primary with Senator Furnifold
M. Simmons and paid for advertise
ments supporting his candidacy out
of my own pocket.
When I was Managing Editor of
• "The Sun" I followed the policy as
laid down by John R. Norris, my
brother now dead, and it was strict
ly independent. The right to criti
cise those in office, should occasion
demand it, was always reserved and
if you, or your many readers, will
take the trouble to consult the files
of "The Sun" you will find just as
much criticism of the Recorder's
Court as of the present Board of
Commissioners.
Frankly, I wish to state that I am
not in accord with the policies en
nunciated by Stover P. Dunagan
Esq., Chairman of the Executive
Committee of the Rutherford Coun-
ty Democratic Party. I reserve the
right to vote for such candidates
on the Democratic ticket this fall as
I deem worthy to fill the offices to
which they aspire, but I have not
and do not intend to ask anyone to
bolt the ticket and vote for any Re
publican candidate.
In conclusion I wish to state that
j since I sold my controlling interest
in The Sun Printing Company I have I
had no voice whatsoever in its edi-1
torial policy. I did report the"two j
political debates and fpr my work]
I was paid, but I made every effort \
to be scrupulously fair and impar
tial in my accounts.
Thanking you for your courtesy
and wishing you every possible sue- j
cess, I am,
PHILIP NORPJS.

NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. j
I
The other day in the good church ,
town of Shelby, an old man a Con- ,
federate Veteran, 83 years old was
sitting flat on & side walk. A police- '
man noticed him. "Hello Captain!
What you doing here? What's the .
trouble?" Well I was standing on the \
street studying what the world was (
coming to anyhow, then the street 1
fiew up and left me sitting here." i
"Drunk, aren't you?" "Well I don't 1
know, I haven't taken a drink of \
liquor in eight years, I met a friend
who give me a couple of shots that .
kinder dazed me." Policeman taking
by the arm and raising him up said,
"Come with me and I will find you
a more comfortable place to rest."
and led him to jail. After a few
hours when he had recovered suffi
ciently to care for himself, he was
released and told to appear at Re
corder's court next day at 10 o'clock.
That give him a chance to save court
cost, as he lived in an adjoining
county. He said whiskey was not
what it used to be, and he had not
learned to regulate the dose.

MR. J. E. CALDWELL IS
APPOINTED TAX COLLECTOR
At a meeting of the Board of Al
dermen, held at the city hall last
Friday night, Mr. J. E. Caldwell, was j
appointed city tax collector, and has i
assumed his new duties. Mr. Cald- j
well is the logical man for the place,
having his office at the city hall,
where all tax payers may easily drop
in and take care of the important
duty of paying their taxes.
A hard drive is being made to col
lect the 1929 city taxes, now past
due, and it is said that there are
numbers of delinquents. If you don't
want your name to appear in the
delinquent tax list, to be published
in next week's issue of The Courier,
you had better get busy and see Mr.
Caldwell. By paying now you will not
only save the undesirable publicity
of having your name appear as a
delinquent, but will also save the
expense of advertising.
