For this .reason the Democrats enter the elec- ' (inn confident. Sheriff Caldwell heads the ticket this year and lie is expected to poll a large vote. He has made an efficient sheriff; lias stuck to the job since chosen to succeed W. P. Mabery who resigned and had handled without trouble all problems with which he has been confronted. Sheriff Caldwell is a former service man and is popular with other men in the county who served in the army, navy or marine corps during the war. L. V. Elliott, the popular register of deeds, is one of the strongest men on the ticket. Mr. Elliott is recognized as one of the most efficient public servants in North Carolina and during his term of office he has been repeatedly congratu lated for the prompt manner in which' work is dispatched in his office. Mr. El’iott calls Kannapolis home and his frends and neighbors there are expected to line up almost solidly for him.

This board has labored well during the past two years although the members have been severely criticised in some quarters they have been justly praised in other quarters. They have co-operated with other county officials to the best interest of the county and they should be continued in office. The campaign in the county for the most part has been a dean one.

Robertson, W. G. Brown 6. S. Kluttz, J. M. Culeleasure. "The Modern Hotel is no longer a one man institution,” said H. W." Blanks to day in eommenting upon Coneord’s New Modern Community Hotel. Mr. Blanks is secretary of the Chamber of Com merce and Secretary of the Y. M. O. A. and is a member of the campaign Execu tive Committee, which has this splendid project in hand. Excellent progress is being made along all the preparatory lines and the members of the Executive Committee are pleased at the attitude of the Concord citizens. "In the vast number of cases,” con tinued Mr. Blanks, “the modern hotel is financed through community co-operation. Because of t(ii« fact the hotel is of prime interest to the entire community which it - serves: first, because the large majority of stockholders are local citizens, second, because the Modern Hotel is the very , best of all civic, social and co-operative action in that community." "This condition came about largely from the doing away with the many small hotels, which were in fact merely saloons with a few rooms overhead. With the eomTffg of Volsteadism these hotels went out us business and pii'tiy-ally their etos- , ing - caused a shortage of hotel room and as there were really no modern hotels al ready in some communities the best in the lot added a few more rooms and continued in business. The average so lution. however, was the erection of an entirely new and modern hotel of the type which now does justice to the com munity. Because no individual could see his way clear to finance the new en terprise, business spirited citizens came together and put the new hotel acros in a community way. ‘‘So favorable has been the results of these community tiunuced hotels that the movement has literally swept the coun try. Every state in the union has within its confines a number of citizens in whjfh such hotels are being constructed or are iu process and being financed.” Concord has always needed more ade quate accommodation. We are now about to meet this need and are doing it by the community financing plan. Concord is about to take her place among the pro gressive cities of North Carolina and of America.
