The proVerty, known aa the Gray home
for, the past twenty years or longer, is
one of the most valuable pieces of ral
estate ia Gaatonia. It-has a frontaae .of
266 2 3 feet on South street and 250 feet
on Franklin avenue. ; It adjoins the eity
hall property and lies directly opposite
the court house site. It is in -the heart
of the business action of the city and Is
admirably located for business purposes.
t is the intention of the buyers to
put it into shape so that it may be im
proved for . business uses.'. It Is under
stood that Mrs. Gray retains the privi
lege of residence in the house for a
period of six months, and it is hardly
likely that any, changes will " be made
prior to the expiration of that time. .
The acquisition of this fine V residence
property by Messrs. Glenn and Ware Is
but another indication of the rapid in-
croachments being made on residential
real eatnte- by business - activities. The
Gray residence and surroundings are one
of the most beautiful in (iastonla, and
general opinion was that it would con
tinue s residential property. , v I
The handsome home on the property
was built by the late GeoA.: Gray, one
of the pioneer cotton mill manufacturers
in Gaatonia some 20 years ago or longer.
The site on -which he built was once aa
old mill, there being 's corn and wheat
mill and saw mill operated there. ' It
was purchased by Mr. Gray from Mr.
Miles Hanna for approximately 2,500.

Hon. Roller N. I'age, candidate for

KOpd-sizVsaudience at the coun house
,ast" night i Despite counter attractions
iff-thecita-f a number of his friends and
backers were present. Others wno were
known to; be Morrison and Gardner , men
were also present Mr. Page is a good
speaker - and he ; made , a good impres
sion on those who heard him mat night.
He presented the issues of the campaign
in a clear, logical manner. ' -.
Advocating the application - of - busi
ness prfnZlp'les to the administration of
our State government, he said i '' With
out criticism of my party or any former
administration, it seems to me the husiv
nefij ef the public, ordinarily known as
VThe State' f, needs to te organized
with the end in view of attaining the max
imum efficiency, at the minimum of 'ex
pense ' '. " Our business ;: has ' expanded
tremendously in recent yearv have our
methods kept pace with this expansion "t
"It shall be my purpose, if elected Gov
ernor, to-inaist upon legislative authori
ty . for a thorough business survey- by
recognised organization erperta;of all our
governmental Agencies, with the one" pur
pose in view of attaining the greatest
possible efficiency in the administration
of the business of government. '',8 ,
Mr!. Page reiterated bis endorsement of
the.. Revaluation 4 Act ' made .in a .' speech
some time ago at Winston-Salem. He
quoted Article 5 of the State Constitu
tion to the effect that all rear and per
sonal property shall be assessed accord
ing to its true value in money. He de
clared that he favored the Revaluation
Act because the purpose intended by it
is to right s wrong of long standing by
complying with this Constitutional ' pro
vision. " The ' adoption of a- 100 per
cent basis of . value in making assessment
of property is essential for the reason
that there is no other way to secure uni
formity", said Mr. Page. He urged the
adoption of the Income Tax Amendment
and endorsed tbe Inheritance Tax.
Mr. Page favored the improvement of
our public school system, our, public
health service and the betterment of liv
ing conditions ia the country districts.
Declaring the misunderstanding be
tween capital and labor to be one of the
biggest questions We have to solve, Mr.
Page said: "We cannot destroy either
the organization of capital or. labor'.
"If we are fair-minded, if the right is
conferred on one it cannot be denied the
other". "He said that the solution must
come outside of legal - enactment, and
that the best proposal yet advanced, and
that is proving a success wherever tried,
Is profit hiring through -organised "In
d us trial Democracy'. .

ing the end of his long statement to tbe

miral Sims today elaborated his charges
that the inadequacy of his staff abroad
prevented for several months maximum ef
ficiency in the United States', naval par
ticipation in the war. .He testified that
he was unable to bring the' navy depart
ment to a realization of the importance
of his post and the necessity for provid
ing a large staff at the outset to com
pile and digest allied naval information
and direct the early details of American
co-operation on ths tea ,h V",,,',-,, 'vI
Admiral Sims said he arrived in Lon
don in April. 1917, 'with but one aide,
and immediately, realiiug ttie magnitude
of the- task confronting him, cabled the
department requesting - tltatT three addl-
tipnal assistants be sent him at once. Be
fore he received, any- replybe was paced
also in command of the destroyer force
abroad,' and thereupon asked for three
more officers, including a chief of staff,
expecting that the request would . be
granted without aaestioa.'',j ;;VV.1-' 1
The Isst of April one' officer arrived
and was assigned to the destroyer base
at Quccustown, Admiral Siths said, but
no word came from tlie department re
garding his reiterated requests for .- at
least' six assistants. Throughout June
he remained in ignorance of tbe depart
ment's plans and received no further aid,
the officer gaid.'A;v:'-';-''l:'' P '.
An Amerh-an civilian, who had resigned

"My staff then was wholly inadequate
even to code and decode messages to and
from the department," he commented,
'much less attempt to compile vitally

, In June, a medical officer was ordered

he detached thecaptain from a destroyer
and assigned Urn to this duty. '; 4 ,
We had reached the limit of physi
cal endurance,'? ! Admiral Sims said.

detailed to be his chief of staff, the ad
niral said, and another officer was sent
to assist him. ' At this period, be said.
continual differences with the department
were demonstrating the need of closer
liaison between - his office and Washing
ton, the admiral said, due to his inability
to send and reply to letters and cable

Throughout July be continually warned
the department that troop .convoys .were
being endangered by lack of proper as

protested against the department 's incli

ed officers and keep the older ones in home
waters. ' -

There is no doubt the Ebert govern-.

to Identify themselves with Dr. Kapp.
A combination of forees making restor
