The Editor has-kmdiy and VARIOUS - MAHISKS March 18, 1930. 1 V y'sj r 15- faithfully consented to keep to the original manuscript in the publica tion. So as a starter, the following is a list of paragraphs and phrases that were quoted by Josiah W. Baily when he was campaigning for the Senator that some bright and early Baily advocator would surely care to analyze. So Josiah W. Baily says: I would not take part in the Sena torial campaign if I could not do so in the conscientious assurance that I can do so without DIVIDING or discrediting the Democrat Party. I am an advocate of the Senatori al Primary, but if we must pay the price of party self-respect and party loyalty for a Primary, I am ready to give up the Primary. I like him (Senator Simmons) be cause I believe he would forfeit his ::?at as Senator rather than cringe before anybody or any power on the face of the earth. In the first ten years that Senator Simmons has been in the Senate, North Carolina has received in Fed eral appropriations from the Federal treasure more than she has received in the preceding .one hundred and fccnty-five (125) years. These are great words indeed that were voiced by Josiah W. Baily when he was uneffected by the unconscious bias of candidacy. In reference; to his first two paragraphs he seems to take delight in bragging about his sincerity in maintaining Party har- : ny. yet after 'St, Mcqe, Dan fels and other prespecive candidates . . , . declined to run to run against the . . , , , Senator for -harmony sake, then Jo- . . w., . .

Rudisill Talc Co. is a new1 , enterprise in Marahall.Employment i -' furnished for nine persons at the) plant and at the mine and shipment of crayons are made to all parts of . the United States. A large ship ment is being made this week to the American Crayon Company of San dusky, O. " 4 The mine is located on Walnut Creek and many thousands of tons of soapstone is easily mined. The rocks are brought to Marshall in the rough and sawed with ordinary cir cular saws into shapes for crayons and as the rock reduces the size of the 'saw reduces until a very small . saw is used in making the crayon. Some months ago, Craig L. Rudi- sill, E. F. Wallin, and A. B. Silver formed a partnership for the purpose of mining and manufacturing the soapstone found in such large quan tities and pronounced as good as majr . be found in the world. Samples' were" ' 'sent to vajrious nsers bnd replies' came good and bad, but persistency" won and now orders are on the bock'," for more than the present equipment can supply.
