Rhodes, member of the fur niture firm of Melton Rhodes, of Greensboro. Mr. Rhodes has just re turned from the state and he is con fident jihat a great many bf ihe lead ing Republicans favor the nomination of the Ohio man.

"The blue prints of the dam now in construction at Badin show that a roadway 18 feet wide is to be built on the breast of the dam, affording a drive way 1,300 feet long from the Stanly County side of the river to the Montgomery side,", is the announcement of a Moore County man who has been over at theBadin development cn the Yadkin. .
