YADKIN REPRESENTATIVE
WRITES
I wish, Mr. Editor, If you will
permit me the space In your pa
per to say a few words about the
office created at Yadkinville dur
ing the last Legislature.
First, I wish to' say that Davie
county has the same office and
has had it for four years. Further
let me state that the people of
Davie County are proud of the
office and that the Representa
tive, Mr. Grant, and the State
Senator, Mr. Brock, from Davie
County had nothing but the high
est of praise for the office. Either
one of them could have abolished
the office during the last Legis
lature if they had been so minded.
But we notice by the Yadkin
Ripple that some of the Yadkin
ville Republicans and Democrats
are terribly excited about the of
fice. It is perfectly obvious that
there are reasons for this excite
ment. One reason for this un
usual outburst Is the fact that
several of these gentlemen are
stockholders in the Dixie Bond
and Mortgage Company. The Dix
ie Bond and Mortgage Company
has obtained several thousands
of dollars of the taxpayers hard
earned money and the security
that they offered is no good.
These papers run well into the
thousands. I ask you to go in Mr.
Casteven's office at Yadkinville
and look over these papers. See
ing is believing.
One objection they raise to the
office is that they say it will cost
the county more money. Lets
see about that. Last year we
paid the auditor $350.00, Tax Su
pervisor $218.00, Yadkinville Bank
to allow us to store our money in
their bank $600.00, we paid the
Register of Deeds to keep a rec
ord of bills paid $480.00. These
records are kept and filed in Mr.
Castevens' office. By simple
mathematics this totals:
Auditor $350.00
Tax Supervisor 218.00
Storage Fee - 600.00
Record of Bills 418.00
TOTAL $1,586.00
Now the County attorneys' fees
for Yadkin County last year were
in excess of $1,200.00. In Davie
County the attorneys' fees were
less than $600.00 per year with
this office.
Mr. Castevens gets only $1,200.-
00 per year. His bond costs
$300.00. By simple mathematics
this is only $1,500.00 per year.
Now if the Commissioners coop
erate with the office as they do
in Davie, it is bound to save the
county money. So, these gentle
men that are estimating that it
will cost more are Dixie Bond and
Mortgagers, or else they owe the
county money they borrowed, and
are afraid they will be called upon
to pay this money back. You
know it doesn't necessarily con
cern me, but it would make in
teresting reading to know how
much Mr. W. E. Rutledge owes
Yadkin County according to the
1936 audit. It would also make in
teresting reading to know how
well some of these debtors of
Yadkin County keep their inter
est paid. You know if some of
these men were as interested in
paying what they owe the coun
ty as they are in talking about
the finances of the county, Yad
kin would have morg money than
it has. But it is always interest
ing to hear one of these gentlemen
of the Dixie Bond and Mortgage
Company discuss the financial
situation in the county. And may
1 add it is very appropriate for
one of them to discuss.
Permit me to make one other
observation. I notice that the
Ripple says that I consulted only
Mr. P. D. B. Harding and the
Democrats with reference to this
office. Do you consider the fol
lowing Republicans nobody?
Messrs. J. G. Ray, N. B. Caste
vens, Dick Everidge, Harrison
Nicks, R. L. Hemric, C. B. Frank
lin, John Hemric, Turner Huds
peth, John N. Davis, Hank Joy
ner, Mack Lovelace and hundreds
of others that signed the peti
tions asking that Yadkin County's
funds be protected. Did you, Mr.
Truth Can Be Told, of the Yad
kin Ripple know that several Re
publicans went to Raleigh In the
interest of this bill?
I would that you were better
informed about what goes on in
Yadkin County.
I much desire that Mr. Ripple
re-examine the election returns.
The figures he uses must have
been taken from the minutes of
the Dixie Bond & Mortgage Com
pany instead of the certified re
turns of the County Board of
Elections.
JETER Xj. HAYNES,
Representative of Yadkin Co.
A man is like a nation. Neither
ever talks low when they are
around an enemy they know they
can lick.
DIXON'S LAST CLASS
IN YADKIN REUNION
Ten of the 13 Assemble With
Prof, and Mrs. J. H. Dix
on as Guests
ONLY ONE IS DECEASED
Yadkinville, June 14. (Special.)
—A reunion of the last graduat
ing class of the old Yadkinville
Normal School —class of 1918 :
was held in the club rooms of the
old Yadkinville Academy here
Saturday night, June 12, with a
dinner at 7 o'clock.
With but one exception the en
tire class of 13 is still living but
are scattered considerably. Miss
Rachel Royal, one of the class, is
dead, leaving 12 members. Ten of
them gathered here with Prof,
and Mrs. Z. H. Dixon as honor
guests. The reunion and dinner
was sponsored by the four mem
bers of the class in Yadkinville,
who were hosts to the class.
The 13 members of the 1918
class were E. Beecher Warden,
Gorrel Myers, Mrs. Adeline Speas
Shugart and Georgie James Staf
ford of Winston-Salem; Dr. H. E.
Casstevens of Greensboro; Miss
Blanche Dixon of Elkin; Miss
Florence Holton of Oklahoma
City, Okla.; Mrs. Turnie Warden
Pass of Chicago; and Miss Rachel
Royall, now deceased. The two
absent members were Mrs. Pass
and Miss Holton.
Prof. Dixon, a pioneer in edu
cation in Western North Carolina
since the early nineties, first es
tablished a private school here,
which was later developed into
the Yadkinville Normal. This
school turned out hundreds of
Students, most of whom have
done well in the world of busi
ness and society, and now cover
a wide field of activity.
With the advent of the high
school the old Normal was merged
and has grown, with consolida
tion, to an institution of 18
teachers and a total of 680 stu
dents last year.
Prof. Dixon and Mrs. Dixon
made talks to their old class and
most of the members of the class
talked. Prof, and Mrs. Dixon
were presented with suitable gifts
as a remembrance and both of
them were presented with an au
tographed book, signed by the
alumni.
One of the subjects spoken of
by Prof. Dixon was the hope and
the wish that early next spring,
at which time he and Mrs. Dixon
will celebrate their golden wed
ding anniversary, they can come
back to Yadkinville for a day of
celebration and a reunion of all
the students then living, who at
tended the old Normal School
under his guidanship. This idea
gained much favor with his last
class and they readily agreed to
act as hosts for the big reunion.
This class also plans an annual
reunion every year.
