The ever okl but vastly intriguing subject of marking the streets of FarmviHe and numbering the houses here, has been brought up again re cently, and unlike most questions of real importance to a town, not a dis senting voice has been raised in our hearing. With new business houses, apart ments and homes being erected and a golf course only awaiting a spell * V*' ?J J-tn'vinf win/tft for OX 3Q rum 1 Fig ouu ui j tt ?. >*.? . ? completion, with some labor thrown in of course, Fannville will soon be taking on a city like air indeed. And how "rebarassing" it is going to be, for caddies, who try directing visiting golfers to some friend's home if they do not know where "Papa Joe" or Dr. Joyner live, or where the Baptist church or the school building are located! The cost of marking the streets will be so small as to be unworthy of consideration and we suggest this as one of the finest ways the present Mayor and Board might be remem bered. To the home owner it would only mean a trip to the dime store a fifteen cents purchase and three minutes of time to put up the num bers. Believe it or not a great many residents here have no idea what street they live on. We told a cer tain lady the other day that she resided on Horne Avenue, and she laughed at us. Unless the City Fa thers have changed the names of the short streets recently Luther Thomas lives on the corner of Lang street and Moore's Lane, and Sterling Hates' home is located on the corner of Main and Tyson, streets. We won der if they know this. The names of many of our streets are very beautiful and signncant, several being named for pioneer citi zens; Lang, May, Belcher, Horton, Barrett, Fields; two for native and beloved trees, Pine and Walnut; Grimmersburg was named in honor of the Moye settlement two miles out; Contentnea, called that in honor of Little Contentnea creek, which flows across the North end, and sug gesting peaceful firesides and con tented families, is a residential street living up to its lovely name and fine traditions; Church street at the time it was named could boast of the only church in the community, old An tioch; Wilson street converges into the Wilson highway; Pitt was named for the county; Greene honors the General for whom the county seat is named, and of course like all small towns there is a Main street, on which are to be found the business houses and municipal building. WHY NOT support this movement to hark the streets and number the homes, so that we may direct people intelligently instead of using the method followed here at the town's information bureau, the newspaper office, where after U3ing all the fin - * ? ? ?*_?_ gers on both nanoa to point oat ms distination to a stranger, we usually end by cranking up the car and "blazing" the trail. SMEARING CAMPAIGNS A few years ago this country of ours was treated to a series of pas sionate up braidings of those who were assailing the Hoover adminis tration. The spokesmen of that administra tion over a radio, in the halls of Congress, in the newspapers sad in the magazines, were, bitterly de nouncing what they termed the cam paign to "smear Hoover." Just as strenuously did the men who were conducuting the Democra tic side of that controversy protest that these was no slander of the then President, that th* were on his policies and not on him personal ly, etc. ? It is a carious nwwHleatation of .W- ? ? " ' . m I.tttt.. ?' vVBVWlx tfQOOBB (HSw wD8M same men are now m charge at a ?ggggsg , inwiasjg who an striviag for progress in gov* eminent tad pontics and the domi nating faction that has for genera tions directed it in the interest of privileged corporations and individ uals to the detriment of liberty end prosperity of the average citizen." Now who do you suppose he was thinking of when he spoke of privi leged corporations and individuals be hind the Hoover administration ? Perhaps the answer may be found in the roster and directory of the Lib erty League, with the heads of war munition corporations, holding com pany chiefs, and the rest of the noble band that are now in the midst of their crusade to save the country from Democracy. Dr. Fesa Found a Public Exposure The Republicans did not like it and many were the plaints of protest in their speeches and in their state ments. For example, here was this,1 from Chairman Fess of the Repub lican National Committee: "The Republican party paid no at tention to Mr. Raskob until the pub lic exposure of the ainster plan to impair or destory the Republican party by scurrilous and slanderous, attacks upon President Hoover and his administration. "This conspiracy, which has been without counter part in the history of American politics, was disclosed by a Democrat of unblemished party record, Frank R. Kent of the Balti more Sun, who asserted in the Sep tember issue of Scribner's magazine that Mr. Raskob had set up and was financing an organization in the na tion's capital for the sole purpose of 'smearing' the President of the Unit ed States. "The Republican National Commit tee called the attention of the coun try to this scheme as exposed by Mr. Kent. Beyond this we care nothing about Mr. Raskob. The Democratic party is welcome to him and all of his millions." At the present moment the Demo cratic National Committee is paying off the last of its debt to Mr. Raskob, and Mr. Raskob is named among the large contributors to that annex of the Republican National Committee, the Liberty League. Interview With 0. G. Spell, Local Agent N. S. Railroad Co. Store-Door Collection and Deliv ery, and Also Allowance To Shipper or Receiver for Use of Own Motor Trucks In Per-] forming Terminal Service Effective February 1st, or as near that date as possible, the Norfolk Southern Railroad will inaugurate the so-called collection and delivery of less carload freight, at the ship per's or consignee's place of busi ness. Where the railroad does not perform the collection or delivery service, on account of the shipper or consignee electing to perform this terminal service, the railroad will make an allowance to the shipper or receiver, as the case may be, of five cents per hundred pounds. ' 1 lV^ n.i .v.. w. tVift ft ft?ft ft io I iw uukuguiawvu vx MUO * ivw u not for the purpose of putting the truckman out of business, but rather to bring about a more equal or com petitive adjustment of rates and practices to that now, generally, ac corded by the highway operator. Prior to the enactment of laws by Congress in 1935, the highway oper ator doing an interstate business, did not file schedule of charges applica ble to freight moving from one state to another. During the 1935 session of Congress the Motor Vehicle Law was passed and made a part of the Interstate Commerce Act that had governed railroads since 1887. The dead line for filing of tariff sched ules with the Interstate Commerce Commission as applicable Xo ail traf fic, whether handled by franchise truck lines or contract haulers, is February 12th. On and after that date the tariff charges of the high way operator can not be departed from, except by making changes in the usual way as required by law of the railroads. There will be for the first time some tangible evidence of the highway charges on interstate traffic, and accordingly, the railroad will be in position to measure with a reasonable approximation the charg es of its competitor. The effect, therefore, of the collection and de livery service is in the direction of bringing order out of chaos and, at the same time, to give the public in creased and greater competitive form ? ? -Jit i. .111x1 1 oi service wunoucany aooiuoiuu charge. After all, the public wants competition and the railroads have no fear of competition as long as their competitor is now reasonably regulated under the same terms and a number of exceptions that permit of many commodities, particularly products of agriculture, to be han dled interstate without being sub ject to the Motor Vehicle Law, but with the passing of time experience wiS demonstrate, the necessity for in the Law and when that is done, a further and mote modern, ad justment and practice upon the part of the rails may he expected. The difficulty in the inauguration of ser vice of tide kind in the past has been rdne to the lea of stahOttr in -the charges of the hi^wsy operator ap ? PERSONALS Mr. and Mrs. W.
