Buchanan: .a trained county nurse un
der his supervision; A Welfare Officer J
Mr. Brown: and the Kings Daughters,
the mother of all. who stands ready to
help any who come to her for aid.
A Civic Department in this city en
couraging the planting of trees on neg
lected highways, beautifying the city we
live in by putting oil a crepe myrtle cam
paign. and planting at least two of these
beautiful trees in every yard would be a
great addition to the beauty of the city.
A larger enrollment than we now have
would add to the strength of each differ
ent organization niyl would make the
Woman’s (Tub a more vital factor in the
community, its only aim and object for
existence.

BUSINESS TO REMAIN GOOD
This is the Belief of Belk Buyer, Just
Back from Northern Trip.
Charlotte News.
Business prospects for the fall months,
as reflected by that usually accepted
barometer, the number of merchants
from all parts of the country assembled
in New York for the buying of fall goods
are good according to B. Frank Matthews
of Belk Brothers department store- who
has just returned from New York.
Mr. Matthews and sixty other buyers
from the 32 Belk department stores and
W. 11. Belk. head of the Belk system,
were in New York at the same time.
There is no frantic rush for fall goods
on the part of merchants who were in
New York during the past two weeks to
lay in their fall stocks of goods but the
buying in steady, Mr. Matthews said.
Merchants from the west and Middle
West showed more hesitancy about buy
ing than merchants from other parts of
the country, probably because a partial
failure of the grain crop in that part of
the country makes conditions there some
what more depressing than Hiey are in
other parts of the country, he said. I
"Although there was a disposition on
the part of buyers to use discrimination
and not to rush in to buying goods with
out careful consideration, there was a
great deal of buying and my impression
was that the buyers were all optimists as
the the business outlook for the coming
season.
"In this part of the country there
has been a notable continuance of busi
ness activity during the summer months.
For example in the months of July and
August, which are usually very dull
months, the tide of business has remained
good. As to the outlook for the fall
months I am distinctly an optimist.’’

(Continued from Pace Onel
first time in our history, called the vice
president into the councils of the execu
tive branch of the government, and
Calvin Coolidge conies to his task know- 1
ing in detail the problems which con
front him. He has been from the first,
part and part of the administrative ma
chinery of the government, and lie has
sat with the president and his cabinet
constantly during his more than two

America will find in him not alone brain
and conscience to lead, but a kindly
heart-to help. He will be a true friend
of the American workman, for he has
known hard work all his life. He will
follow no wild phantasies in sesfrch for
t3ie milleinius. no lie-wisp of
thoughtless experiment. He will move for
ward step by step, guided by the light of
progress, by experience and by studious
reasoning. He preaches the gospel of
the square deal, and in whatever lies be
fore him he can be depended uim>u to he
just fair and kindly.”
