WeUoa Harris Now that the great election is oyer, let as turn our eyes from the political arena,--for just a while and take -a peeplnto the future of Madison coun ty'; The1- above question in full is this, "will it pay the people of Madison County to have enacted a law to ex empt mills and factories from a county tax for a period of years after they .locate in the county?" I can 'answer for myself only, and I will answer in the affirmative, a thousand times over. nnfiPK Dr. Hutchins' reply to Mr. ' Plemmons in regard to the tax ques ; tion in Madison County. He advocnted a. bill of this kind to help solve the j ta 'question in this county. He did -1' not go-as far with this as. I asked 1 'him to do. I am not trying to find , if suit to Mr. Hutchins. He did not ' J make this question as broad and liber al as I suggested to him.' Mills and I a m-ina rfndco hio-h taxed eountiss. i'Oii my return to Madison County live fyers go, I found this county very '1T.' - - '3lU. I AA T .si1 than giul T 4flV know. Madison County needs a payroll. f . This will keep our people at home and bring in additional peppie. au progressive counties ano ww?B we offering special Inducements to get mill to locate in their midst. I would suggest the people write their next representative, Mr. Hutchins, to have a law of this xmd passed. I would further say mat it snouia be made very liberal. It should be put on a step rate basis. The more em nlovees ahv factory worked the-long- er thev would be exempt from county taxes Allowing tnem live years taxes - tU AMf ' inn AmnlnHMft niwl mn ees and on: years taxes-for each .ad-. tditional huhdred empldyeea " UtpWer this . plan .a miu .wowing two thousand hands would get 37 years of taxes.-1 will further say this jAWehould include any old mill that had been in operation providing it wOUld reorganise anu niticnsc ita ontDOt of roods. A law like this would make things hum in Madison. It would go .'ailong way in helping to solve Madison's tax problem. It would make Madison the richest county west of the Blue Ridge. A textile mill work ing two thousand employees, paying is average wage of $2.00 per diem amounts to $4000 per day, allowing 300 working days to the year, in 20 years time it would: make a payroll of 24 million dollars. Suppose their tax would be two million dollars, s it not better , to give them two million dollars and have 24 million dollars in Circulation. Still you would haye 22 million in favor of the county. 1 .Look at the extra taxes to be gain ed by people moving into the county, building extra homes and buying ex tra' cows, and hogs, they would buy also) the extra cows to pay tax on. IV 'would provide a home market for all 'kinds of vegetables, making it easier for the farmer to pay his tax. A mill working 2000 employees means a town of about 6000. inhabitants. t am informed tnat r orsytne county has a law of this kind and that there are over 100 factories in that county and that Forsythe County is assessed St ever lOO million dollars. If it pays Forsythe" County it surely Will pay Madison. We have the climate, the power, the water and the mill sites and th labor. s : ! v s factories coming from New Eng- K&nd. can locate in Forsythe County as easy as they can in Madison.

The chairman, N. B. McDevitt, called the meeting to order H and stated that the purpose of the meeting was to elect delegates to the State Convention in Kalelgn. Mr. John H. McElroy was made secretary. Mr. Thomas Frisbee of Hot Springs made a motion that the delegate go into executive session, which meant that all except delegates should leave the hall. This was opposed by John McElroy, Guy V. Roberts and others but was passed and prevailed. Mr. McDevitt, the chairman, disappeared as the 'delegates -assembled. ' After waiting for some time for him to reJ turn, Mr. Lee Ramsey was elected; chairman. After getting the voting strength of each voting precinct, be fore the delegates could be elected, the two factions- Smith and anti- - Smith broke out in a free for all dis cussion. Attorneys John McElroy . and Guy V. Roberts were outspoken 1 in behalf of Smith, while Smittf was opposed quite vehemently by Mr. Thomas Frisbee, Dr. Burnett and oth- . ers. Two lists of names were nomi nated, one list being declared to be for Smith and the other against Smith. When the votes were count ed the anti-Smith delegation had been elected to go to Raleigh, the Vote be ing 29-22. The following were the delegates named: J. Morgan Ramsey, Fred Holcombe, S. L. Ponder, J. M. Ramsey, H. E. Martin, Grady Mer rel, Marion Edwards, Ellis Gregory, Grady Wallin, Tom Frisbee, Bryan Teague. Future Of Spring Creek High Shool. By Bren Coward - As I sat in my room one night t ' had a vision. In thfs vision I saw the , ' ifutarsgMs f Sprint Creak, tog. , tWhsftt I'-' :Vf't , ' : Situated in the center of-the beau tiful valley of Spring tfreek, I saw very modern school building. I won dered at this improvement because it was something I had not dreamed of after being used to the little build ing that had served students and " answered every call for many years, , but there can be something better. As look again over this astonishing wonderment as this beautiful build ing standing out there in a valley of of valleys, of which was overlooked by beautiful mountains and hills, I wondered if there could be anything . more pleasing to the students eye? This -new improvement with its beau tiful 'surroundings would surely at tract numbers to explore the fields of knowledge. ,r 4 As I wandered up the winding path that led to the house I slowly ascend- -. ed the steps at the front door, I met -', a very attractive young man who showed me through the building). He showed me through, the class rooms, agriculture and home economic de partments. One of the most interest ing things to me was the library. This occupied a large room, I stayed in this room for some time taking ' down the many books and magazine of strange titles. , There . were numbers of teachers for. each grade, a teacher for agri- cuiture nome economics, music and four other'high school teacher. Evi dently, there must have . been some -wohderf ulwork going on. v - - Suddenly my thoughts went back to the little school house on the hill Hid I wondered how s new one could be appreciated. Something seemed to say only thosethat had the experience of attending both. x'Everything'fseemed to be changed. ' the people had a different attitude as they had the hopes of the future cfti- sens of tomorrow, lay in the boys and -girls of today. They , were giving them "every-opportunity to fit Toca- tion that they could pass on and really be a benefit to the human race. ; I saw professors of different sub jects in all their dignity planting the seed that would grow and germinate in the boy and girl, that would spend their time in the upbuilding of a com mtthtty.:r'hatio. X'rf ' My! But my Twiea' enaS; to ade as I started off I turned to, look again. I wondredf if 1 Had Wen half dream- Look! Thtr vision which had seemed so aear had faded. The school house and all It beauty was slowly vanish- finf " W river cf i 1
