I Ground was broken last week for
j a ne\<’ manufacturing plant in the
I Sandhills that will be heartily welcom-
’ ed, a factory that will produce an
I interesting cla.ss of goods and employ
: a superior class of workers.
I The firm, called Anglow Tweeds,
i is in the nature of a family partner
ship comprising Mr. and Mrs. H. G.
Chatfield and their s n Henry, ot
Marion. Ma.ss. The Chatfields are
newcomers to the business life of the
Sandhills, but they have long been
an integral part of the community,
having for many years owned “The
Adoketon.” a winter home just east
of the Berkshire Hotel in Pinehurst.
Although Mr. and Mrs. Chatfield
will continue to spend the summer
months in Massachusetts, where they
operate a factory like the one they
are building here, at Rochester, a
|.short distance from their Marion
, home, it is understood that they plaa

About 60 buses wei'e parked in
and around the garage, as j)racttcally
all of the schools in the county have
closed and the buses had been stored
for the summer. The garage was
erected from abandoned school build
ings with relief labor and was used
during last summer. The buses .were
insured.
Donald’s platform is more in line with
the Democratic party’s platform than
that of liny ether candidate. And he
stated that it was time some new
blood was injected into “the rusty
old machine” which has been nrnning
the State for some time.
"But whoever is nominated, we
have nothing to worry,” he concluded.
“We have four fine candidates, and
could not have selected better men to
compete for the office of Governor if
we had combed the State with, a fine
tooth comb.”
