Of equal Interest to Texans and

said.- "The beet ideal for any coun

throughout the country as a potential
Democratic candidate for the Presi
dential nomination, went to Washing
ton and gave a Senate Sub-Committee
the benefit of his exceptional experi
ence in agricultural banking.. One of
his outstanding suggestions was that
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion be authorized to make loans to
the receivers of closed bqnks as a
means of alleviating distress of thou
sands of depositors in small financial
institutions throughout tbe country.
Mr. Traylor's. suggestion made such
an Impression that it was embodied In
the Bill as finally passed by Congress.
He, more than any other man, is re
sponsible for the timely assistance that
will now be possible for many deposi

WILL DICK SISK
GETS THIRTY YEARS
Murderer of Val Hall Happy
Because He Wasn't Electro
cuted Shook Hands With
the Couiflt, Etc.
In Stokes Superior Court Thurs
day nlffht of last week the jury in
the case of Willie Dick Slsk, tried
for murder in the first decree, for
the killing of Valley Hall, rendered
a verdict of murder in the second
degree after being out only about
an hour, ind Judge J. H. Clement
sentenced Slsk to the State prison
for a term of not less than 25 or
more than 30 year. Thin was prac
tically the limit, as the law provides
for 2 to 30 years for murder in tho
second degree. The case was a most
aggravated one and Slsk was so
happy when the jury said murder
In the second degree that he went
up and shook hands with Judge
Clement, Solicitor Koontz, h'a at
torney and all the jurors who s>it
on his case. According to the evi
dence Sisk stabbed Hall in his own
home while a dance was in progress,
and apparently without any cause.
The only defense the defendant of
fered was that he was drunk and
did not know what he was dolnj.
The trial of this case consumed
practically all of Thursday.

changes in business conditions anil
realize the importance of exercise of
cautious Judgment in the manage,
nifnt of business affairs of our coun- j
ty to the end that we may avoid I
any enibarassmont tw the tax paying
public.
Real estate has depreciated In
value to the extent that in some
cases It Is considered an encum
brance infnead of an asset. Farm
products are not bringing on the
market one-half the cost for pro.
duct ion. Fifty to sixty per cent. t)f
the total population of our country
and practically the total population
of Stokes county is toiling upon the
farms unifer these conditions. The
tobacco crop, which is our chief
source of income, did not bring on
the market during the last season
mu"h mbre than enough to pay the
fertilizer bill; we are left without
any money with which to pay taxes
And pay our just and honest debts
