U. August 23.1928. . Both political parties promise farm relief, but we fear with both it is for campaign purposes and things will drift along Well, if Heflin supports Smith, it willdoneitberSmitb nor Heflin anf good,, arid everybody, in eluding Smith, will think a great deal less of Heflin. We have lived past the days of party bosses, and every self respecting man or woman resents tbs interference of party bosses in the matter of dictation of how they shall exercise the right of franchise. Senator F. M. Simmons has stated that he does not intend to vote for either Smith or Hoover, and that would have been our guess of that gentleman’s atti tute ail along. He wUl vote the Democratic ticket from consta ble^Max Gardner. ■' - - - - - There was little division into political parties during the first decade of the Republic's life, but the two leading parties have axisted since early in the history of our country, although they have changed names, or one has, the Republican partv, which is almost identical in principle with old Whig partv. Tn our.opinion the present day Democrats and Republicans have been camping close together, only election years “The RobesonTan rejoices over the first reduction in taxes ever to have occurred in the history of Itobeson county and that a cut of six cents on the hundred doHan. which cut our neighbor attributes to wis business sagas ty. They still have a little higher rate than Hoke The Red Springs Citizen edi- torialy discussed last week life expectancy, and states that a scientist says that in the year 2,000. children will be born that will live 200 years Perhaps , But have you noticed* the oldest " persons you read of have es caped the scientists? Never met ’em at all? The Charlotte Observer pre dicts that the stay at home vote will be less this year than in 1926. when it was one hundred thousand less at the general elec tion than ip the primaries, but our opinion is that the stay awav ▼ote in 1928 will exceed that of any election in the history of the State,or the United States. If a man votes only Demo cratic ballots, he must be a Dem ocrat Whether he votes as many ballots at the same election does not change the principal in volved. Voting is a matter of conacience, and others have no right moral or political, to at tempt to direct a voter in the ex arciaeof bis constitutional rights. Apples, peaches, cantaloupes, vegetables of all kinds going to waste, the folks who grow them in need of the money theee should Mng. but cannot'market because such truck doesn’t bring anough to pay for gathering and crating, to say nothing of rent on bods, fertilizers and cultivation, white (miy a hundred miles away are tbouiiandB of people who are aiudoua to.

Isn’t ^.thata predlesment for a country fto gat into, but it’s where we are and is diie to part of the country bsiog driven back to normalcy, white the other p^t maintains Uteonnalqr. „„ North Caroliqi- ' It wiH be' impossible to tell just how bad f he big-flood in western North Carolina was. We had been staying at Chim ney Rock for little more than a: week so we dec’ded Tuesday a m (Lona Graham and myself) we would go over to Asheville for a day or two, h ad a nice trip, was a beautiful d.,v. Just aliout six o’clock a terrible looking cloud came up It began raining and rained all night, so Wednes day a. m. we got up and decided we.coulddn’t see anything there ! we would go Chariot^ v>a Hendersonville since that was the best road It just poured rain all the way. Don’t think I ever saw it rain any harder. Just a few miles above Bat Cave we came to this river that was rag ing and had nearly reached* th highway; we followed it for sev eral miles. About that time we reached the slides from the mountains. One would come down just in front of us and an other would slide down just be_ hind us bringing big rocks that would have knocked us in the river if they bad hit the ear. Onejilace w'e west through a storm; I could hardly drive, the wind was blowing so hard, trees were breaking off and turning over right near us. We fought sure then we were gone But we got through safe, frightened nearly to death. We stopped at Mountain View Inn, the hotel where we stayed the week be fore and had left part of our baggage to get when we returned home. -s . , , We decided w'e wouldn’t go any farther and were afraid to stay. This hotel was near this river and it was rising all the time, and behind us was this big mountain. We didn’t know what minute it would slide down All the hotel people , stayed up all night, part of the tourists slept a little. Next morning the rain had slacked up and the river was down several feet. They raised the flood gates at Lake Lure Wednesday afternoon and night but put them down Thursday morning and they saw it neces sary to put them up again to save the million dollar dam and when they tried to put them up the chain broke, so it was im possible to raise them Then one shoulder began to crumble, so they warned all the people to get out that lived below. Our fear Thursday night was that the dam would break and w'ash out the high w*ay for miles below. We knew we would be trapped in, was impossible to go out through Bats Cave for the road was washed out and blocked' up about two miles. We got up Friday morning and the dam was there ,so we started for home. Wednesday night I called Western Union to send a tele gram home and in about five minutes the line went down, telephone too, (they received my message.) All the lights we had were lamps and candles. They had to close the power plant, down. Could not *get auy mail or send^any for twh days, Busses were trapped in all along the highway from Charlotte to Asheville, one drowned out Cars also were drowned. Went there in one day and came b^ck in one and wasn’t so very tired We made over 700 miles while gone and didn’t have any trouble, only one spark plug—not even a flat tire. We were gone nearly two weeks. We had a wonderful trip before the flood came. Everybody up there compare it with the flood there in l9l6. We are thankful we are back end safe.
