Wednesday, Qct. 1?, 1926 Judge George P. Bell Gives Ten Instances of Democratic Achievement Raleigh, Oct. 11.—OP)—Pointing out ten specific instances of Demo cratic achievement in North Carolina uuring th»» ndmifttatration of Governor Angns Wilton Mel.can, nnd eontend »* r? lat ** ur ' n * *he last half century of Democratic control in the state that the party’s record had been un assailable, George P. Pell, corpora tion commissioner, summed up bis ver sion of (Vie party's progress in an open letter to John G. Dawson, chair inn n of the Stnte Democratic execu tive committee. In a prefatory statement Commis sioner Pell declared that in offering Ins record that he was following the custom of "off year" campaign in dis cussing the merits of county and state administration rather than na tional. ten points on which he bases his assertion of a.’nievement during the AloLoan administration follow : first—An executive budget sys y ltln w ' aß adopted. T'nder the execu tive budget act machinery has been provided whereby the governor ns di rector of the budget becomes the su pervising head of all the fiscal and business affairs of the various Stnte departments, institutions and other agencies, not only with respect to or dinary current operations, but also with respect to expenditures for per manent improvements. Second Ihe State ts now operated on t’.ie balanced budget basis, which is the only sound nictlicd of oiiera tion which will protect the State’s credit and enable it to go forward *vilh its program of public improve ments. Third—A great deal of duplication has been eliminated in the tax col lection activities of the government by the consolidation of the tux eollec- 1 t,on functions of the State under the department of revenue. A large sum of money will be saved in this way, nnd r.ie savings will increase as the I DELCO LIGHT 4 Storage Battery Plants and Non-Storage Plants Deep and Shallow Well Pump and Washing Machines R.

Fourth—Now, under the’daily de posit act, all revenue of the Slate col lected by any agency is deposited daily to the credit of the State treas urer in a depository selected by him. ' This has resulted in a saving of large' sums of money' heretofore expended on short time borrowing awaiting :he collection of taxes. The Inst legis lature appropriated $200,000 for in i forest on these short time borrowings, j The working of the new system made it w’.lolly unnecessary to use any part of this sum for interest, thus saving that amount to the tax payers. Fifth—The per capita cost of Op erating the institutions has been eon . eidernbly reduced during the first year of the operation of t’.ie executive budget system, and will be further re duced ns the new system improves j from year to year. Sixth—The unsound custom which ’ I prevailed in years past of allowing 'State institutions to overdraw their I maintenance appropriations and thus create a deficit has been eliminated. | Seventh—The custom which pre , vailed in the past of allowing certain State to overdraw their 1 ■ permanent improvement appropria tions without knowledge and consent of the Legislature lias been eliuiinnt- 1 eel. Eigth—T'.ie fixed policy of provid ing not only for the payment of ill-' tprest on bonds issstied for permanent improvements, but nso for sinking fund and serial payments to retire the principal of the boftels to be paid out of current revenues has been adopted. This custom has not pre vailed at all times ill the past. { 1 Ninth—A sinking fiimt commission has been established composed of the governor, the State treasurer and State auelitor. whose duty it is to collect all sinking funds for highways and other purposes and invest them ill 1 a separate nnd distinct fund for the payment of the principal of the bonds when they mature. Many states, cities and towns, after providing sink ing funds, have used them and have not set them aside as required by law. Tenth—All the departments nnd agencies of the government have been I brought by the governor as director! of the budget into one compact and co-ordinated body, thus converting the ‘ Stnte government into one great op-' crating unit. Without any criticism | of the heads of the departments under the old system, it may be said that I they were inclined to think in terms I' of their own departments instead of visualizing the needs of the State ns a whole.

C. A-, Frank S. Smith, this morning in the council chamber, in the presence of 200 citizens. “I enn get all the liquor I want and need right here in Asheville.” ‘The trouble with you. Mr. Smith.” the mayor declared, "is that you want prohibition for everybody hut yourself. You want it for the other fellow, but you want the right reserved for you’ to drink all you darn please.” This exchange came during the stormiest session that the city hall has witnessed in several years, while several hundred- property owners were 'calling upon the city commis sioners in regard to the proposed election of a five-story building on the site of the old Bon Marche building, on Patton avenue, which would Mock plans entertained for this street. The problem at hand was the question of widening Lexington ave nue, but it paled into insignificance as Thomas S. Rollins, prominent at torney, John A. Goode, Patton ave nue merchant, and the mayor threat ened with fists clenched to turn the council chamber into a prize ring.

M. Gibbs Chosen Temporary Clerk of Synod Opening of 113t!i Annual Session at Statesville. Statesville, (>:t. 12.—Rev. A. It. McQueen, of Dunn, was elected mod center of the Presbyterian synod of North Carolina nt the opening cf the 113 ’.i annual session in the First Presbyterian Church here tonight. His p’ection was unanimous. Rev. C. M. Gibbs was elected temporary clerk. Rev. C. D. Raynnl. I). I), pastor of tho Statesville Church, welcomed the synod. The enrollment for the first session wns 225. A gavel made of wood grown oil the site of old Hawfie.d’s Church' where Orange Presbytery was organ ized in 1770, was presented to the senate. Orange is the mot’ier Pres bytery of the synod nnd a ce’ebration will be held there October 28th. The moderator was, appointed to represent the synod there. Rev. Mr. Srabright Preaches. The opening sermon was preached by Rev. H. B. Seabright, of Wash ington, N. C, the retiring moderator. Mr. Seabright struck t’lie keynote of the synod’s meeting, evangelism. His text wns: "Be Not Weary in Well Doing, for In Due Season We Shall Reap. If We Faint Not." He urged the synod to be patient and indus trious in the defense of the true faith, nnd to exhibit great industry in soul winning. Mr. Seabright, retiring moderator, outlined till' purpose and virtues of evangelism and analyzed its purpose, urging more “diligent and pfrserver ing work” in that field. "I mean, of course,” he explained, "a sane and scriptural evangelism.” “Surely we cannot be satisfied with our slow rate of growth. Looking back ever the records of the five years, '.Merc has been no gain in the number of additions on professions of faith either in our synod or in our general assembly. "In fact, the number was smaller ill 11)26 tlinn in 1025. Only 3,608 anrl 21,048 for tile assembly, as against 4.057 and 24.200 tile preceding year. "We do not hold revival meetings .frequently enough, nor do we, as a rule, protract them long enough. “I have often known a church to get discouraged and fee! ready to quit after a week or two. but by con tinuing longer a real blessing lias come. It is tragic to stop on the eve of victory.” The beautiful little city of States ville is making a splendid Mostess. It is a far cry from old Fort Dobbs of 17:>2, located ill the wilderness, with red men skulking near ill the deep forests, and the paved streets and well ordered town of today with its 10,060 inhabitants, its fifteen churches, its immense flour mill, said to be the largest in the south; its famous herb market, its celebrated brick machine factory, known over the world. The slogan of the city is. “Statesville, flae Best Town in North Carolina.” There certainly is a marvelous con trast to the old log church that stood near the fort, the first building the Presbyterians used, and the stately Greek church that crowns the hill and sends fort’ll her chimes to awaken the pious emotions of those who hear. Dr. Char es E. Raynnl, the pastor, and his flock are greatly blessed and prepared for modern Christian ser vices.
