SPINDALE VOTERS
HEAR ZEB WEAVER
Democratic Candidate for Con
gress Vigorously Attacks
Tariff, Farm Board and
"Hoover Prosperity."
Spindale, Oct. 22.—Hon. Zebulon
Weaver, Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Tenth district, ad
dressed the voters here Monday even
ing in the Spindale House. Mr. Wea
ver was presented by Mr. J. H. Hill.
In his opening remarks Mr. Wea
ver spoke of the high principles of
the Democratic party, and asserted
that the party was the party of. the
common man, and the party for the
working man. Stating that parties
may be judged by their records, he
compared the administrations of
Vance, Aycock, Glenn and others
with the administration of Russell.
Inuring the past ten years North
Carolina has spent $165,000,000 on
the roads of the state without a hint
of fraud or graft, a record almost
without parallel, said Mr. Weaver.
The speaker attacked in vigorous,
style, the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill * j
and profusely illustrated his points, |
time after time, by quoting prices
under the old and under the new
tariff laws; and giving figures on the
decrease of imports and exports. He
gave, as an example, the six cents in
crease tariff on cement. The Unit
ed States will pay annually, under
the Smoot-llawley tariff, over $60,-
000,000 on cement for roads and
streets alone, and the tariff will in
crease the cost of road building ap
proximately SI,OOO per mile.
Mr. Weaver also quoted figures
to show that the. retaliatory tariff
laws enacted by other nations were
killing Unite % d States trade abroad.
During the first five months of the
operation of the Smoot-Hawley tar
iff bill, exports have fallen off at the
rate of $1,000,000,250 per year. He
scored the farm relief board's ac
tivities and asserted that the Repub
lican party had played itself up as
the party of prosperity, and it was
up to the party to make good; or
else give up the reins of the Govern
ment two years hence.
THE FOREST CITY COURIER, FOREST CITY, N C
INTERNATIONAL
ROAD CONGRESS
DELEGATES HERE
Representatives From 35 For
eign Nations Stop in Forest
City Thursday Afternoon
For Short Reception.
Eighty-eight highway engineers
and administrators from foreign
countries, representing thirty-five na
tions, and fifty staff members, stop
ped in Forest City Thursday after-!
noon for a fifteen minute entertain
ment period, sponsored by the city
and civic clubs of the town. The
trip of inspection of the highways
of the southeastern United States
carried the delegates through five
states and to the southern tip of
Florida. The trip was begun in Wash
ington, D. C., October 13, and the
party entertained in Forest City
Thursday was composed in part of
the delegates to the Sixth Interna
tional Road Congress which was held
in Washington the previous week.
Several hundred people turned out
Thursday afternoon, about four o'-
clock, to welcome the delegation to
Forest City. Five large busses, ac
companied by Capt. Chas. D. Farm
er, Lieutenant Sam Beck, of the
State Highway patrol and eight state
patrolmen, parked in the center of
town. Chief C. R. Price, Sergeant
Austin Price and Mr. Martin Green
directed traffice off the main street,
on which the reception was held.
A short reception was held for the
members of the motorcade, after
which Mayor V. T. Davis presented
Attorney C. 0. Ridings, who gave a
brief address of welcome. Mrs. A.
M. Glickman assembled a large num
ber of local school children, who sang
"America" and one stanza of "The
Star Spangled Banner." Cigars, cig
arettes and Coca-Cola was served as
refreshments to the visitors by a
number of young ladies. The Coca-
Colas were donated by Mr. F. I.
Barber. I
Never in the history of Forest City
has there been welcomed, at one
time, as many distinguished men and
foreigners as were present Thurs
day. Represented in the gathering
were the United States Bureau of
Public Roads, the United States De
partment of Commerce, various state
highway administrations southwest
of Washington, D. C., the Ashevillc
Chamber of Commerce and several
civic clubs, and scores of learned
students and good roads enthusiasts
from all of the hemispheres.
It was a treat, the like of w T hich
local residents seldom see. Thirty
five different languages, including
our own American tongue, were be
ing jabbered on the city square at
the same time. It. was a confusing
scene, which an awe-struck public
gazed on in wonder and amusement.
A tall and intelligent fellow of
Oriental nativity mingled in the
crowd and was the special target
for small boys, who gazed at him
in amazement. A small Japanese,
with beaming face and fancy-free
tongue, talked with everybody on
four sides of him and seemed to
enjoy his visit tremendously. Three
others, of doubtful nationality ges
ticulated wildly over the reception
which they received.
The local citizenry had been ex
pecting the delegation all after
noon, and by the time the first si
ren sounded on the outskirts of
the city scores of persons began
moving toward the city .square.
And the lqnger the foreigners
stayed the larger the crowd grew.
By the time Capt. Farmer oi:
the State highway patrol, who was
in charge of the passage over the'
State's highways, called his men
into line an unusually large crowd
had gathered.
The delegation came from Ashe
ville, having taken luncheon at
Chimney Rock." From Forest City
they went to Charlotte, where they
were honored Thursday evening by
the civic clubs of that city. Friday
morning they left Charlotte for
Miami, Fla., where the motorcade
was disbanded.
COWS STOLEN.
A number of cows were stolen or
strayed from the farm of Mr. B. C.
Horn, near town, last week.
I In the lot were one dehorned
brown Jersey, small and low built;
one mouse colored cow, with tipped
[horns; one large Jersey cow; one
[jersey cow with horns and brindle
face.
A reward will be paid for the re
covery of this stock.
