wmNumu| marion 1 people Endorse PEESS Marlon, N. C. April i ,1?W-We, ? the . associates of J. Will PU?a,. J*. Uk? delight in c*llin* to the atten tion of the voter* of the Eighteenth Judicial District the following facU: Solicitor Pleas is a man of clean ? . life and unquestioned integHty. Solic.tor Pleaa is a lawyer of such abiJLty that his position at the bar j \v*s established before he assumed the resjpohsjbiltie8 of the Solicitor's Solicitor Pleas will continue to pro , ! .yecute tbo criminal docket with that courage -that will project the, public V 'deter the criming and reflect great credit, gp.ytbe Dfctjrfct ?ijd State..' , ^ . Solicitor Plewwas honored by bin Local Post of the American Le g-ion by being made its Commander ' and hils; earnest effort* in, itjf.be;. half, and especially in behalf of his "disabled comrades, 'has endeared .[ himself to the toldiera who know him, or know of 1}<? Work. This is shown b? his baing promoted to ' membership bii the State Executive Committee and his later appoint-, ment as Chairman of the SUte Ser vice Co;v\oyttee ,of the American L? gion. : . Solicitor Pleas received the ap pointment after consideration of the applications from, all counties ,?? -seeking the ; appointment. " Prom ithe statements of the presiding tad g'e, jurorB and all thenars where he has held court, ehas made good. However, we feel that his mettle, earnestness and talents cannot be fully displayed unless gfven further time -in thto ?fMfci.- :$;i We endorse him for the office of Solicitor and invite all voters '. jn ??

Justice Physician. to THE TAXPAYERS' OF < Transylvania county In the last Issue of the Brevard Newa, Dr. E .S. English hail pub lished his second article in regard to the road law and the *o#d Supervis or, and owing to the Inaccuracies in.^is statements, I am publishing this' ; correct statement Of the facts. Dr. English lives in Brevard and baa considerable property in Bre vard and wishes to -see the road in Brevard township kept in applei>ie order, but I do not feel it my duty td spend all the money paid by the other taxpayers in -other townships, in Brevard townshjp. Dr. English also says that there is nb politics in the' matter, but if I am not mistaken, I think that Dr. English's statements will be used in i the approaching political campai gn, and I am therefore going to leave that question: to the public so that ttey can Judge whether. Dr. English, ia correct in that' statement upmm Now as the accuracy of Dr. Eng lishV other statements, I \jill quote the exact figures to show that Dr. English . either did not know what he/was writing about or he diliber ately misstate^, the facts, and in either event, he'was _ not correct. Dr. English Btartq out' by showing that I received a salary of $1300.00 t a year, when in fact, I did not re ceive $1800.00, but onjy received $1500.00, :so Dr. English haB made 'a. 'mistake there.1 f Dr. English also estimates that it takes > $8.00 per dpy to feed six horses and to em ploy one man when in famt one men cannot work six horses and I hftve .to employfrom two to three men to .work, tthe horses, the *oad machines scrapes or plows,, as the case may be. Dr. Englieh saye that, the roai should have -been crowned and fixed for ^e Winter, in November, and that it^the only statement which he makes ^vliich Is . correct, but he fol lows ^with statements by. saying that in the month of November, I only spent $942.48 'on the road, when. in fact, -the 942.43 wasfor work done in Octob^r^ so Dr. EngWsK is - wrong there. Dr. 'English further states that in December) that I spent 11606.44, when in fact, the 1509. 44 was spent in the montty of Nov ember which was the month *that Dr. English stated that the moat work should be done, bo Dr. Eng lish is wrong in these statements ?to?, Dr. English says that in January, whai) the Weather wae too bad to work, fspent $902.3$., in thiB Dr. English, is ulso mistaken, because $902.80 was for work done in Dec^ ember, So as to the three months that he speaks of in the paper, he ha?r got them absolutely ? incorrect and either tried to fool the people or does not know what .he is talk ing about. ' . And in addition to the amount mentioned above, Dr. English fails to show that in the December and January ^expenditures that 1*754. 70, of siame was spent on bridges when the weather was too bajto work oh the rojadp and 1 utilized -the teams and men for doing that claes of work' at that! season instead of hav ing the teams eat their heads off do ing nothing. ..... ' ; And in addition, to the 1758.70 paid on bridges, Dr. English fails to tell the people of the ambunt of $293.97 which wae spent for tools and equipment o~ut of the total sum he mentioned. You; will .see ^rom the nboW that in Dr. English's figures amounting to 18851.21, that in addition to' his being wrong as to the ditea, * the money spent and the work ? done,' that he made a mistake of $1058.67 in addition to the 'mistake of $800, 00 on my salary, so the Doctor has not. been careful either as to the dates or the amount of money ir his article. ^ ? ? As I. stated before, there may be some bad places in some roads so rite where in tl\e county, but as a whole 1 will, state without fear of success ful contradiction, that the roads ir Transylvania County are in better Shape to-day than ? they ^have , been for any years, in the past,- fcnd yet as this present road, law is a new tyw, it take* time to put a new sys tem into a full working effect and ?in addition we have had the' worst -i- *?" V Winter on roads, not only i? Trnn sylvanift'( county, but in other Coun ties in the mountains this yea*, that we have had for many years.' I will state for Dr." English's ben efit that the trouble is not in the law or in. the supervisor, (if I may be allowed to say the latter,) but can be attributed to three causes, first, the weather, second, the mil- 1 axe of roads in th ecounty, . arid ?I , I third, the small amount of money, to spend o ntha roads. J . Respectfully, T. E. Reid J ? ? SHIPMAN BOOSTS CAROLINA 1 k North Carolina get* another big t boost in the North. This time it is ( Commissioner of Labor & Printing 1 M. L. Shipman, who tolls 'em. Mr, Shipman was the guest of hoijor at 1 a big banquet in Philadelphia lHat 1 night. The occasion was the annual < get-together meeting of the North ' Carolina Society of Philadelphia. * Mr. ShipmBn, was the North Caro lina speaker, and what he told the ' Philadelphians was enough to bring. } all of them back "down home" for a visit and many of them to stay. Few men have paintetd a picture of North' Carolina* with greater faith fulness to facts and a clearer vision < than the Commissioner of Labor and ] Printing h?ld up before this Phila delphia audience. ] 1 One paragraph1, in Mr, Shipman's I address must have made a lasting impression, indeed, on every great < captain ' of industry who heard him Prom reading it; onto would imagine ' that the speaker had read7 The Jour nals "Electrical 'Section," \ printed Sunday, before preparing his ad dress, But of course that was im posslble^ However, Mr. Shipman gave equally as much credit to hy dro-electric power development for ^he State's wonderful industrial pro- , gress as The Journal gave in its i Sunday edition. j?j J "North Carolina has already de'- ( veloped from its own waterpowers thp vast ene'rgy'of- 360,000 horse power," he said, "with a maximum potential hgrse power in our State . of two million. Remember these fig ures if you forget all. others I jnay , quote, fo( they mean a great deal to our futtire prosperity and increa^ sing greatness as a manufacturing State. ' They imean eventually in crease in t)ie annual value of ail our manufactured products . from the present valuation \ of q billion and a half ''dollars to what? Who; shall say! ! , 1 In truth who shall? For who c&ti iven imagine the. possibilities of pro gress in North Carolina with all of our potential hydroelectric poorer* developed and utilized for the ben efit' of all of our people? Mr. Shipr mnn told his Philadelphia audience that the Garden of Eden limit have been in North Caro. .There may be some 'question as to- whether the- first Garden wu located in these ' parts but there is no doubt where the se cond will be if ? the hydroelectric power resources of North Caroling ? ire developed to the uttermost of heir possibilities. , Vini^ton-Salem Journal, April 1.
