FARMERS TO GET
83,000,000 SOON
Co-Ops Will Pay This Amount ]
On 1922 Crop—Payments To
Be Madfc On Dec. 21st and
Jan. 10th.
Raleigh, Nov. 26.—C0-opera
tive tobacco growers will share 
in a third payment amounting to !
$3,000,000 in eastern Carolina ]
and the "Old Belt" of North 
Carolina and Virgina, according i
to an announcement following 
today's meeting of the board of
directors of the co-operative.
Members in eastern Carolina i
are to receive their third pay*
ment on last year's crop Decern- 
ber 21. while the "Old Belt"
growers are to get their checks
on January 10. This payment
is made possible because of re
cent sales of redried tobacco by
the association which is now in
process of delivery.
Although it is stated that this
is not a final settlement on the
crop of 1922, in making these
two payments to members the
finance department of the asso
ciation states that it will be
necessary to calculate more than
100,000 accounts, since many
members made more than one
delivery to the association laat
year.

The Situation Is Bad and It
Promises To Get Worse, Says
Dearborn Independent, Mr.
Ford's Paper.
Our greatest industry, says the
Kansas City Times, is not the
steel industry, the farm industry,
the automobile industry nor the i
motion picture industry; our|
greatest industry is government!;
"One-twelfth of the working!
population of .the United States'
is engaged in the busings of j
! government." For every twelvej
! persons, one is working at
"government." Every American;
works fifty days in the year te
support this great host. Fifteen j
i per cent of every American dollar j
is sliced off to pay them.
Every Congress sees scores of |
attempts to increase this army of
the public pay roll. Even babies
cannot be born now without
representatives of the govern
ment near by. If another bill
passes, children cannot learn their
Three R's withoit representatives
of the federal government a«ar
by to watch them- We are estab
lishing with dangerous rapidity
a class whose .interests are so
intimately connected with the
continuance of things as Jhey are,
that the people will be helpless.
! Already this government class
j has completely lost the idea of
I being servants of the people;they
do not exercise service toward
us, they exercise control over us.
The situation is so bad, and
promises to grow so much worse,
that someone must risk the repu
| tation of being a calamity howler
ir. order to call attention to it.
"Too much government" al
i«vH>a means not enough good

i Keeping 1 Money and
Making the Car Go
It's a secret to me, and I'd like
to know how you can keep money
and make a car go. At every
tewn through which yeu pass you
! have to buy oil and you have to
j buy gasoline. Something about it
|is always breaking, just like the
|ewner— and that's no joke. 1 had
some money and sugar in my
gourd, but that was before 1
traded for my Ford. Now ray
hands are dirty aad my duds are
tora; I'll own another, that I've
swora. It wea't eat hay and it
wea't eat eera, bat it'll gobble up
nsoaev as sure as you're born
Now, vhen lam called to cross
the bar. I hope Saint Peter won't
own a car, but will bear me away
to that peaceful shore where the
sound of the Ford is heard no
more.—WALTER BLUE, Troy

Texas Has A
Golden Rule Sherifl |
A newspaper mail writnu;
from Gatesville. Texas, says : I
Sheriff W. W. Hollingswortii !
never was rough with a prison
er—never ever spoke harshly tu
one, in fact.
He never pulled a gun, never
had a fight.
He never swore, nor drank,
nor smoked.
He lives by the Golden Rule.
Yet he always "gets his
man" and he has never let a
captive escape.
A Texas Sheriff, at that !
Sheriff Hottingsworth was f
Baptist clergyman until hie
election eight years ago. He
1 hasn't had time to preach since.
1 but he says he thinks he does
more good as Sheriff than ho
1 could do in the pulpit.
' What's more his Golden Rule
methods have proved a success.
Crimes have fallen off in Cory
ell county under his regime and
. the criminal dockets are abso
, lutely clear. Which is unusual
anywhere in the United States.
The Stokes County Highway
Commission will meet her-'

STOKES ROAD
GETS LOW BID
Contractor Wants $111,128.40
For Building Highway From
Danbury To Clemmons' Ford
Bridge—Structures $14,676.
Raleigh, Nov. 27. Barely
less than two and one-half mil
lion dollars in road and bridge
construction resulting from to
day's low bids were announced
tonight by the State Highway
Commission.
There were 18 projects bid on
in the nine districts of the
State. More territory was cov
ered than at any other previous
letting, except one.
Bidders were present from
afar, these coming to North
Carolina to take advantage of
our all-the-year working weath
er and big building program.
The lowest bid put on the
construction of the road lead
ing from Danbury to Clemmons
Ford bridge was $111,128.40,
J. F. Mulligan being the bidder.
The distance between Danbury
and Clemmons Ford bridge is
given at 6.83 miles.
For the bridges on this road
the Piedmont Construction Co.
made the lowest bid, $14,676.80.
Judging from the figures of
the bid on bridges it is more
than likely that bridges will
not be erected across Dan river
at this time but the present
bridges will be used. The
bridge work mentioned is no
doubt for the small streams be
tween Danbury and the river.
The only other bid on road
work in this district was the
! road from the Forsyth county
! line to Yadkinville. a distauir of
' IH.In miles, and the lw\v bid was
| $76,200.50. Bridges en thin
road $39,225.50.
' The State Highway Comr.iis
; ■'ion will go over the bids today
j and announce their acceptance
|or rejection in each case at
, once.
