5c COPY—$1.50 PER YEAR DEPOSITS IN LOCAL BANK PROVE GREAT PROGRESS IN TOWN AND CO. Natural Resources Being Developed Bringing Wealth To Our , People PLENTY OF~MQNEY IS IN CIRCULATION ‘Thousands of Dollars Realized From Farm and Dairy Products In a recent interview with Col. G. H. Haigler, cashier of the Clay County Bank, we were informed that the deposits of the Clay County Bank have increased $50,000 within the past few weeks. Mr. Haigler informs us that he has been in busi ness in Clay County for 51 years, and for the past 19 years in the banking business and that to-day there is more money in the County than he has ever known heretofore. He stated that in his opinion Clay 'County is on the eve of a develop^ ment that our people have hardly ■ dreamed dt. Much of this progress of develop ment is attributed to the operation of the Valley River Southern Rail , w’ay. This railroad is furnishing an outlet for the abundance of for est products found within the boun dry lines of Clay County. Much lumber, telephone noles, tan bark, cross ties, and acid wood are being shipped daily. The scientific way in which farm, poultry and dairy products are being raised and mar keted play a large part in this new era of progres. With the operation of the new Boice Wholesale and Retail store Hayesville is developing into "a trading center for this section, thus putting more iponey in circulation in our county. With this great progress during the past few months we may look forward to even greater progress during the coming year. DAN BOONE DIED MONDAY NIGHT Daniel Boone, young son of Mr. and Mrs. A. L.

L. mir G. 0. P. NQMNEES Two poses of Herbert Hoover and his running mate, Senator Charles Curtis, G. 0. P. Standard bearers for President and Vice President in the coming fall elections. This is the first time Hoover’s name has ever been before the people for public office, al though he has been much in public office all his life. »■ - Herbert Hoover was bom in Iowa in 1874, the son of a black smith. His mother was a reader in a Quaker meeting house. He was orphaned at 9 and brought up by relatives in Oregon; he worked his way through Leland Stanford L'ni .ersi'y; he worked with a pick in the '.lines, and later was assistant in the office of a San Francisco en gineer. At 23 he was manager of a large British mine in Australia; at 2.5 Di rector General of the Imperial Mines of China. He was a chief fig ure in the defense of Teintisn in the Boxer Revolution, and during the next fifteen years headed vast min ing enterprises in various quarters of the world. He purchased an abandoned mine in Burma and gave this up at the outbreak of the war because to keep it he would have had to become a British citizen. So at the age of 40 his public career began. He won recognition as Chairman of the Commission for Relief in Belgium. Upon Apierica’s entry in to the war Hoover became the United States Food Administrator. After the war, he was appointed Chair man of the Supreme Economic Coun cil of the Allies. He organized the American Relief Administration to save lives in Russia during 1920-21. Since 1921 Hoover has been Secre tary of Commerce. In addition to his work as a cabi net member, Hoover has a multitude of other tasks. He is Director of the Mississippi Flood Relief and various other national movements. 1 Hoover is six feet tall and of powerful physique. He makes a deep impression as a speaker. It is laid that he is rather shy, very quiet ind very modest Though he is an | rxceedingly busy: man, it is not dif ficult for anyone to secure an au dience with him. FROM TEPEE TO SENATE IS TRAIL MADE BY CURTIS Hoover's Running Mate's Early Days Were Spent On Race Tracks KANSAS CITY, June 15. (AP) — From blanket Indian to vice presi dent will be the romantic career of Charles Curtis if elected in Novem ber. Plain Charles Curtis, “Charlie” to his friends, took this convention by storm because it recognized his I sturdy manhood drawn from the blood of his Kaw Indian forebears and the fire and daring of his French-Canadian-American sire. In obtaining the Republican en dorsement for vice president, he brushed against that of president and still was in the race when the contenders came down the home stretch. Racing is nothing new to Charles Curtis. He earned his first real sal ary as a jockey. He was the Earl Sande of the West in the 70’s and if Curtis would abandon dignity and talk the language of other days, he probably would say: I was in the money. Today Charles Curtis is not think ing of what he has accomplished. His mind has harked back to a moonlit night on the plains of Kan sas when his wrinkled old Indian grandmother, Julie Poppin, crawled to this mere lad’s side around the Indian camp fire. “Go back to your white ancestors, my boy,” she implored. For Charles Curtis had fled from his father’s relatives in Topeka and rejoined the Kaws while they were on the morch. The boy demurred, he preferred the open, free life of the plains. He loved Julie Poppin and her devotion to her grandson c6n sumed her soul. She led her pony to the shadows beyond the campfire, lifted the boy into the saddle and Charles Curtis began his ride to fame, never again returning to his Indians except as a guest In Topeka Curtis took up his resi dence with his father’s sister, enter ed the public schools and for a few ( Continued on Page Four) HOOVER SENDS G. 0. P. MESSAGE OF ACCEPTANCE Declares in Telegram To Moses That Country Owes Him Nothing Grateful For Chance Asserts Gratitude To America For Opportunity To Rise From Humble Home WASHINGTON, June 15.— (AP) —Secretary Hoover Friday sent the following message to George M. Moses, chairman of the Republican national convention at Kansas City: “I have your telegram and I sin cerely appreciate the confidence which the party has shown in and the honor bestowed upon me.” * “You convey too great a compli ment when you say I have earned the right to the presidential nomi nation. No man can establish an obligation upon anv part of the American people. My country owes me no debt. It gave me, it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope. Cites Previous Calls “My whole life has taught me what America means. I am indebt ed to my country beyond any human power to repay. It conferred upon me the mission to administer Amer ica’s response to the appeal of af flicted nations during the war. It has called me into two cabinets of two presidents. By these experi ences I have observed the burdens and responsibilities of the greatest office in the world. That office touches the happiness of every home. It deals with the peace of nations. No man could think of it except in terms of solemn consecration. “You asked me for a message: “New era and new forces have come into our economic life and our setting among nations of the world. These forces demand of us constant study and effort, if prosperity, peace and contentment shall be maintain ed. Principles Affirmed “This convention like those which have preceded it for two generations have affirmed the principles of our party and defined its policy upon the problem which now confronts ,us. I stand upon that platform. At a later date I shall discuss it fully, but in the meantime I may as well say that under the principles the victory of the party will assure nat ional defense, maintain economy in the administration of government, protect American work, farmers iand business men alike, form com petition arising out of lower stan dards of living abroad, foster indi vidual intiative, insure stability of business and employment, promote our foreign commerce and develop our national resources. You have manifested a deep concern in the problems of agriculture. You have pledged the party to support speci fic and constructive relief upon a nationwide scale backed by the’ re sources of the federal government. We will and must find a sound solu tion that will bring security and contentment to this great section of our people. Problems Ahead “But the problems of the- next four years are more than economic, in a profound sense they are moral and spiritual. This convention has sounded a note of moral leadership* ■ “Shall the world have peace? Shall prosperity in this nation be more thoroughly distributed? Shell we build steadily toward the ideal * of equal opportunity to all our peo ple. Shall there be secured that obedience to law which is essential assurance of life of our institution? Shall honesty and righteousness in government and in business confirm the confidence of the people in their institutions and their laws? “Government must contribute to leadership in answer to these ques* (Continued on pur* 4)
