Service And Loyalty Necessary
-Thf BeUe-VueManufacturing Company has been in
operation in Hillsboro since 1904, but we doubt that as
many people who work for the company have ever be«i gath
ered at one time for a social event as packed into the Hills
hard* high school auditorium Saturday night to see 220 em
ployees of the company be presented with service pins.
No one will dispute the word that the Belle-Vue Manu
facturing Company has played an important part in the
economic and social welfare of the people of Hillsboro since
it started operation in 1904.
We were gratified at the opportunity of being present
for the meeting which saw so many of its employees honored
for their long years of service and loyalty to the company.
No company can be built to withstand the ravages of
time, economic disasters and other perils that harrass the
growth of a firm without the steadfast loyalty and undying
service of its employees.
Those who were honored Saturday night can know that
they have had a large part in the building of a successful tex
tile company in Hillsboro.
Are Yon Jolting, Rivers Johnson? .
Rivers D. Johnson of Warsaw, long a colorful member
of the State Senate, is known by his friends as a gifted orator,
a flamboyant representative of the people who send him to
the State Senate.
He is also a supporter for Charles M. Johnson for gov
ernor of North Carolina and in no uncertain words over the
radio last week told a wide audience how he felt about John
son and Kerr Scott, a candidate the majority of voters in
Orange County favored, for governor in the first primary.
Senator Johnson—no kin to candidate Johnson—is en
titled to speak for whom he may and to say what he desires,
but certainly he must have been stretching the truth when
he uttered:
t “Due to the heavy expense involved, many had hoped
that a second primary would be avoided. However, Mr.
Scott had decided to force a run-off and require taxpayers
to spend another one hundred thousand dollars just to see
if he can overtake Mr. Johnson’s lead.” And then Senator
Johnson said that had Candidate Johnson been the second
man in the first primary, he would have accepted that as the
vote of tfie people and would not have asked for a second
primary.
Can he mean that? Does he mean that candidate John
son would be willing to let 40 per cent of the people voting
in a primary select the next Democratic candidate for gov
ernor of North Carolina? Does he mean that had Candidate
Johnson been only a few thousand votes behind Candidate
Scott in the first primary, he would have accepted that as the
vote of the people and not requested a second primary?
No.
We can’t believe he means that. How could he? Yet,
he said it in a political speech designed to get votes for
Charles M. Johnson. *
And neither can we believe the many stories coming out
of the Scott camp designed to get votes for Alamance Coun
ty's’ faiftntfe ton. * ’
It draws us to this conclusion. .
Think carefully before you cast your vote in the second
primary for governor of North Carolina. Don’t be deceived
by the allegations of either man.
iBecause of the many charges and counter-charges al
ready made in the race, one editorial writer has already sug
gested that the second primary may develop into a question
of voting for the lesser of two evils.
: n:r We hardly think that, for both the men have rendered
North Carolina and her citizens years of faithful service.
But to listen to them talk about each other now, we could
think that North Carolina’s Democratic candidates for gov
ernor have been dug up from the bottom of the pile.
Those of us, however, who will study the records of the
two men and not be swayed by any campaign oratory will
be able to cast an intelligent vote inxhe second primary.

of any southerner and the Belle
Vue Mfg. Co. certainly did its part
in providing the food for the cer
monies it conducted Saturday for
its 400-odd employees . . . After
the meal the visitors from New

praise on the ladies of the New

served the huge throng without a
hitch.

AS IS GENERALLY expected
now when a throng gathers for a
special event, the Hillsboro high
school "band participated and did
its part in making the occasion a
“tooting” success. For some un
called reason, the band ,was slow
in - gathering _jnd couldn’t open
the program .... . L. E. Beard,, who.
was conducting itj then forgot to
call upon the Rev. J. F. Kemodle
to open the meeting with an in
vocation . . . However, later he
discovered his error, apologized
and asked Mr. Kemodle to offer
his prayer prior to the awarding
of the ping. . . ^ > __

ARE THE BAND uniforms paid
for? That question was put to me
Saturday while the band was play
ing in the gymnasium. My un
derstanding is that they have been
paid for. . .

WHEN WILL THE NEW high
way between Durham and Hills
boro be completed? That is another
question making the rounds these
days. I doubt if anyone knows
for certain the correct date . . .
Someone the other day was spread
ing a rumor that it would be
finished in six weeks . . . Seems
to me that's a short time for an
the work that’s stiU apparent to
be finished.

started this week after Marion
