11. C. E. Brown, chairman of the
county executive committee, is
working hard to iave a large at
tendance at all precinct meetings.
Senator Furniford M. Simmons,
who died Tuesday at his daugh
ter's home in New Bern, was a
politician who won, according to
an editorial in the Raleigh News
and Observer. The editorial con
tinued, by stating:
He rose to statesmanship in
standing by a conviction which
caused his defeat. He may have
been wroner in his conviction. It
loosed a rare bitterness against
him even among his old political
friends. But he faced the bitter
ness without returning it took his
defeat with philosophy, and lived
in his retirement with wisdom and
grace.
It will be the task of the his
torian to evaluate the services of
a man whose active career in North
Carolina politics goes back almost
70 years. He was a member of
Congress more than half a century
ago. It was more than 40 years
ago that he directed the Democratic
party in its hardest campaign to
its greatest victory since escape
from Reconstruction. He served
longer in the United State Senate
than any other North Carolinian, a
full 30 years. And he had been in
retirement for nearly a decade
when he died. i
The great desicion of his Hie,
however, is not far behind us even
now. No man in the state nad
been more loyal to his party. In
the strictest and most devoted
sense he was a party man. He

when completed the Great Smoky
Mountains National Park in West-
em North Carolina and the Shen- j
nandoah National Park in North
ern Virginia. This scenic park
way runs along the crest of the
Appalachian mountain range, main
taining an average altitude of
about 2,500 feet and traverses an
area of the sublimest scenic grand
eur in the world," he said.
"Immediately adjacent to the
parkway are several golf courses of
national repute and two or three
'dude ranches' which already are
attracting patrons from the popu
lous centers of the north and the
east, being nearly a thousand miles
closer to these population centers
than the famed ranches of the
Ozarks,
"This route is only a few hours
longer from Florida to the north
and tourists are beginning to use
it, even though many links are in
complete. These tourists bring hun
dreds of thousand dollars into this
state each year. North Carolina is
becoming known as vacation land.
The recreational attractions of this
section have been widely publicised,
and they are proper subject for ex
tensive advertising by the state ad
vertising division.
Favors Early Completion
"I am on record as favoring early
completion of the entire parkway,
for it ties in directly with my state
wide road program. Construction of
the parkway itself is a federal obli
gation, and the federal government
will spend around $35,000,000 on it.
My program for connecting roads
will extend the benefits of the
parkway into all nearby towns and
communities. I will do everything
in my power to have the parkway
completed as soon as possible, and

came to the 1928 national cam

election of Alfred E. Smith would
be a national mistake and a pt rty
calamity. In that conviction, he
bolted the nominee. A majority
of the people of North Carolina
shared his conviction and the vote
of North Carolina went to Herbert
Hoover. But the Democratic party
three years later declined and
perhaps properly to give renom

to support the national leader of

Senator Simmons did not com

With various models selling from
$950 to $2,000, this was the popu

who could afford motoring, chug

15 to 20 miles an hour.
Their cars had no tops ... no wind
shields ... no spare tires ... none of
a score of accessories essential to
modern motoring. Starters were
hand cranks . . . brakes were far

Advertising created demand among
those who could afford luxuries.
Demand brought increased sales.
Increased sales brought large-

Lower prices opened new and
wider markets . . . inspired compe

manufacturers, employing hundreds
of thousands of workers, bid for the
low-priced automobile market. The
same manufacturer who sold his cars
as high as $2,000 in 1905 now de
livers his leader at a price near $600.
The automobile, thanks to honest
advertising and research, today is
available to those with modest in

cars with smooth, powerful motors,
steel bodies, shatterproof glass, saft
brakes and luxury beyond the fond
