With the )RD it is both a receipt in expression of appre n. nes listed since last i issue: STROTHER J. R. ROGERS J. A. KEMP 5 LILES E. C. FOWLER WARD BUNN Governor To Fight For State’s Rights Governor Hoey has indicated that he will lead a fight against the re cent decision of the Federal Power Commission to assume control of the proposed Tuckerton dam. The Aluminum Company of America proposed to build a six million dol lar power plant on the Yadkin riv er a few miles above Badin, and the federal commission takes the position that it must license and control the plant, on the ground that the lower reaches of the river ‘are navigable. Governor Hoey and other state leaders declare that this is an un warranted invasion of state rights, and that it is stretching the mean ing of words too far to assume that the construction of the dam will in any way interfere with nav igation. Somewhere around Bluett Falls the river changes its name to the Pee Dee, and the Pee Dee is navigable down near the coast. Theoretically, it is navigable as far up as Cheraw, S. C., but in fact it has been years since a boat plied that far. Besides, there are already half a dozen dams and waterfalls between the proposed site of the Tuckertown plan and the head of even possible navigation. The matter may be fought out in the courts, and it will be another important case as determining just how far federal control can reach into entirely intra-state affairs. If the power commission is finally sustained in its position, the plant will probably not be built, as the federal restrictions are so strin gent it could not be used profitably by the company. That would mean that North Carolina will lose six million dollar investment, with its attendant employment of labor, taxes, etc. COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS TREE On the square across from the City Market stands Zebulon’s com munity Christmas tree. It is a large cedar, plentifully decorated with colored lights and at night is a thing of beauty. The RECORD had hoped for a list of sponsors and donors to be published this week in connection with this project, but the facts were not available at this time. It is understood that Christmas carols are to be sung around the tree at a date to be an nounced later. At any rate, the tree itself adds much to the spirit of the season and those who have gone this far with the idea deserve commendation. Everybody Vybuys ana uses Christmas Seals 2 MORE WEEKS TO SHOP CLUB NOTES SPECIAL MEETING NEXT TUESDAY The Garden Club will present the program at the regular meeting of the Woman’s Club on next Tuesday afternoon in the clubhouse, with Mrs. C.

Alford, 62, died on Wednesday at the home of his son near Social Plain church after an illness of months. He is survived by tw T elve children. Burial services were held at Social Plains on Thursday afternoon conducted by Rev. A. A. Pippin and Rev. Theo. B. Davis, the latter being Mr. Al ford’s pasor. Burial was in the church cemetery. An unusually large gathering of friends were present for the last rites. C. E. PARKER The death of C. E. Parker on last Sunday morning was the cause of much sorrow in Zebulon. Mr. Parker had been about his usual work during the first part of the week, but after becoming ill grew worse rapidly and died in the hospital where he had been taken for treatment. Burial services were held at the home on Monday afternoon, Revs. R. H. Herring, J. W. Bradley and Theo. B. Davis taking part, as did members of the Masonic Or der, who also had charge of the committal service at the grave in the Zebulon cemetery. Surviving are the wife, former ly Miss Ethel Collie, of Spring Hope; six daughters; Mrs. J. J. Crowder, Raleigh; Misses Hazel, Geraldine, Vivian, Janie and Mel ba Parker; one son, El wood; all of whom have the deepest sympa thy of the entire community. Also surviving are Mr| Parker’s mother, Mrs. S. J. Parker and two sisters, Mrs. J. S. Hagwood and Mrs. Elwood Tysinger of Lexing ton. A woman says that there is no pleasure in suffering if it most be done in silence. Farm, Labor Bills Likely To Pass Indications now are that the pend ing farm legislation and the wage hour bill will both be enacted into law, either at the present special session of congress or early in Jan uary. The farm bills of the senate and the house are being brought more and more into line, and it is ex pected that the differences can be ironed out in committee conference Senator Bailey has within the pant few days taken an active part in discussion of the farm bill, his in terest being to take care of the small farmer. As originally pre sented the senate bill offered ad vantages to big farmers and pen alized the one to three horse fel lows. Senator I&iley has been large ly instrumental in relieving this condition. The wage-hour bill has been pass ed by the senate and it now being materially amended in the house. As amended it is expected to have enough votes to assure passage, and it, too, will then go into con ference. The bill is said to be dis criminatory against the south and many southern leaders are not at all enthusiastic about it. Buying Ahead Instructions have been issued to all procurement officers of WPA to buy as much material and sup plies as they expect to need within the next six months. This step is taken in an effort to stimulate bus iness. The present “business reces sion” which under other circum stances might be called a “panic”— has the political leaders worried. An important general election is coming next year, and the “ins” do not want a lot of “recession” to ex plain. Gold Mining In N. C. Being Revived There has been a good deal in the papers reently about the re vival of gold mining in North Car olina. There are several mines in the state whih years ago were im portant factors in the nation’s gold supply, but with the western gold rushes they were abandoned. However, since the price of gold has been boosted by statute to $35 an ounce it is found profitable to resume working of these old shafts. Most of the mines are In Gaston, Mecklenburg , Cabarrus, and Union counties. Canadian money is interested in developing the old Howie Mine near Waxhaw in Union county, which at one time produced some of the richest ore ever dug out of the ground. The Rudisill mine, fa the corporate limits of Charlotte, is also being worked, as well as the Capps and Haile mines fa Mecklenburg county and the old Pruett mine in Gaston. A great deal of money has been spent first and last on some of these mines, and they experienced periodical revivals. Improved meth ods of extracting gold from hard quartz, as well as the higher price for the precious metal, furnish the basis for hoping that the mines may prove more profitable under present operations than ever be fore.
