Head of the world’s greatest gov ernment at its most trying time, \Vai President during the world’s greatert war, the man hail given his best n<! was “ready to go.” He knew, aad the “broken machine” passed from a day hung with shadows to him unto a morning everlasting. And as long iss time exists his mem ory will be brought back by tho in describable—the good that is best-— such as the chord that tingles the blood ns a true patriot views the waves in the Red, White and Blue of America’s banner. X —;-— The prer.s in other sections is not ing the boost handed the state through this county. Some of them Can hardly understand why a high lands county should be such a top notcher. But w hat’s the highlands to do with a place where there’s hustle? . ’ WELL, WEI.I__ Ignorance may be blissful but in some rases it is undoubtedly pitiful. The Union Republican says the Dem ocratic “machine’ in the state has se lected W. C. Feimstcy as candidate for lieutenant-governor and that he may be ail right. but that they never beard tell of the man* Which is a | mighty good statement to disagree ! with from “A to Z.” W. C. Feimsier ha- announced liim 1 elf as a candidate. Friends prevailed ’’.non him to do so, if we remember, was the reason he attributed for the act. Now whether these fronds form some mechanical unit in a mythical “machine" we know not. This patter, along with several others in we-te-n North Carolina, adde 1 its strength, whatever weakness (hat might be, t> •'is endorsement when his name was first 1 uggo ted, hot the only m.tdi'ne we discerned that was involved was • n portent typewriter. I! is true tb Charlotte Observer, sometimes call >d 0% admin.ist ’•"tion organ, did not lo 'k askance tit l'Vnvter. but neither d‘/! the Statesville Daily, which should offset any all-machine support ideas. Me Fei.rns.ter is rot a national fieu-e rifis never had his name “screech ed" in the beadlines in extreme por tions of the country, but neither, as we resell, has »pv lieutenant-gover nor of North Carolina been colled into national pow-wows. The cW is a "ate office end the discussed candi date is a state figure. State law-mak ers know him ns an able man. and western North Carolinians know him bv contact as fit timber for any state office. HURTFUL TO QUEEN (TTY. Not ho inanv days past South Oar ! oliim people* through South Carolina papers revolt at, the strictness with "■hieh spaed reputations and laws in Bessemer City, this state, were en forced. several South Carolina peip’e ’ ovine been ‘‘pulled” there it seemed. Now a similar kick is being hea-d closer home. Quite number of people *n and surrounding Shelby are not a* •ill satisfied with the manner speed and traffic laws are boin<r enforced nt of Charlotte on th? hieh-av lend 'ntr to Shelby, rer? particularly thst ■>nrt of it from Charlotte to th" Car ton county, line. Now Shelby people speed just l’ke other people that like to tickle the "■as throttle with their toe. but the kick is that cr,rtain officers on that stretch of road seem to have a par ticular fondness for the scalps of au ‘onmhile drivers from this section. Oertn'h local citizens, who bear no Jesse James record on the police blot ter at home for speeding, wonder why thev tret nabbed so frequently for in fractions between the waters of th" Catawba and the Queen City. Perhaps there is some ingredient in that rfvntrh of -oad that makes the tires sing a little faster, or the throttle "■o down easier, or perhaps people of this section just to ride faster there end cannot see the railroad crossings as well, but, if none oftlie above per haps are in order, the practice 1s hurt ing Charlotte more than Cleveland comity autoists. N"w every town or small city of Shelby’s type has a nearby large ciPt, where a great deal of buying and spending of silver is carried on. Char lote has been, and is, that city to j Shelby, but “speed trap" reports do not strengthen such fraternal rela i tions. Asheville is not so far away | and Spartanburg is pretty close by. VALUABLE PUBLICITY. E. H. Taylor’s article in the Country ! Gentleman of last week is valuable | advertisement for Cleveland county | because this magazine has a rircula | Ton throughout America among read j rs who are vitally interested in the i igrieult.ural progress of oar country I'crai -i' ;ve have accompli-, led :e nuch in agriculture, this publicity | comes unsolicited and without cost. A , great i>.»rt of ‘V r* ilelo is d-j oted to !’ he sta •> i large, but full - half of ,t is to Cleveland eo'.-nty in particular . ml it is handled in such a way that •*'« m'ght expect inquiries from all liirts of the c nuitry. As a direct ro ■ -lit i>f this ar .ic1.* t-n re came ;l postal j n yesterdays mail to The .Stir fnn. ! r• Ford, lain-.;, Pa., -nyihg uo.iil thank you (or a copy of your as lam i u iestcd in that sec in." The Co .ti ti > Gentlenn i article s n 'l c.xetly tvh‘*t ■ e had expe. te.i it W'ul'.l he in thi r. only touched tin hi h spo‘ of our rural progress, but he coming last week of Mr. Man, an ! other contributor of the Country | tiehlleman, means that we are soon to ! have an article in this same magazine dealing with our splendid schools and churches and the pioneer ministers of this county whose influence is felt to th s day in the men and women of na tional prominence the county is pro ! during. I _ POLITICS IN GOVERNMENT. The Dearborn Independent of last week carries an interesting article on Governor William Richardson at Cali fornia who lias made a remarkable record as a business governor. Not 'oily has ho spent millions in build i ig • cne of the-finest systems of roads in j America, but he ran the state on the ’ same principles as a private business | and saw to it that the state got what ■t paid for. We like to see business principles applied to government nf airs. Politics is too often infected' nto the affairs of stale a rl nation and -he tax payer has to pay the price ir. higher taxes. This calls to mud t! c fact that >ol tics is being played in the mutter >S road building in Norih Carolina o ne of the counties have gotten more -ban they are entitled to of the sixty ive mill.on dpl-ar bond issues while many other counties have been treat ed unjustly in the distrib it ion of road unds. Ucvelan i is an example, along >vith Rutherford and others. We have ,'ottcn only 14 miles of hard road md have no assurance of more until there is another bond issue. There is already talk in North Caroline, of ai additional twenty five million for rapds and the sponsors of this move ment are holding out to the dissatis fied counties tha* they will get what s coming to them if their representa tives will support the issue. This dis trict has the only Republican on ihe state h’glnvay commission and the Republican counties have been favor ed. If there is ano'her road bond issue, every representative should with hold his support until it is incorporated in the hilpthat the next, issue will scr' e .-s a sort, of equalizing fund between the counties; that is, they shn«M de mand that each county gets its pro poitionate part of the road monev in lard surface roads. This is a matter which we think is well worth the ‘care THE UNIVERSAL CAR Forecasting A Tremendous Spring Demand 739,626 j more Ford cars and trucks were pro duced last year than the previous year, an ipcrease of over 50 per ctent. In spite of this tremendous increase in production, it was impossible to meet delivery requirements during the spring and summer months when orders for 350,000 Ford Cars and Trucks could not be filled. This year winter buying for immediate delivery has been more active than ever before—and in addition 200,000 ‘ orders have already been booked through the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan for spring delivery. These facts clearly indicate that the demand during this spring and summer will be far greater than ever, and that orders should be placed immediately with Ford Dealers as a means of protection against delay in securing your Ford Car or Truck or Fordson Tractor. A small deposit down, with easy payments at the balance arranged, or your enrollment under the Ford Weekly Purchase Plan, will put your order on the preierred list lor spring delivery. 8e« the Nearest Authorised Ford Dealer fill consideration of the law makers and we hope they will see to it that no further bond issue is allowed ex cept as an equalizing fund among ‘he 100 North Carolina Counties. If Asa G. Candler, the Coca-Cola king, wrote the leters being intro duced in the De Bouchel suit, we think he would have made more mil lions as a professional love lotter writer than as a manufacturer of ‘ dbpes.” The groundhog saw his shadow Sat urday and the weather will he just “like it aimed to be” before the woodchuck wandered out in the rays east by Old Sol. Nevertheless there will be those who will watch for the “next six weeks of bad weather” to pass. \ Charlotte man says Rilly Sunday 'vill never find better water, better food and better people than he ran ncross in Shelby, and well add a “Tore church-going people. His audi ■ “nee here can be taken as evidence. . From ■’ picture Teapot Dome looks 1 ke a stature. And a stature it is to ’ h" fall of the prying Fall, who first Ml through his attacks on Woodrow Wilson. Farmers from Maine to California 'hat heretofore have heard very lit tle about North Carolina are now ••“ading about Cleveland county, thanks to the Country Gentleman. Perhaps if the ground hog’s nfoph sev be true the next six weeks will be hard on his friend, the boll weevil. If woman was made after man it’s on sign she leaps after him during Leap Year.

Brother Woodson Puts Up Argument For His Candidate. To the Editor of Tbe Charlotte Observer. I cannot see why.it is necessary for McLean to flood the State with testimonials as to his fidelity as a member of the War,Finance Corporation. We all know he did his ' ‘ f'L full dutyf and his honesty, capability and fidelity is uni versally Conceded. If Mr. McLean were an obscure per sonage seeking a position in some banking or mercantile establishment, he would be expected to furnish testimon ials as to character and competency from his former em ployers. But it is considered somewhat derogatory from the dignity of a candidate for the high office of Governor >t > do so. So far as character and ability are concerned, both candidates afe above reproach, and have administra tive capability of fx high order. Both have made a high success of their personal business from a financial point of view, a;Ud our public affairs would be safe in the hands of either. I have no personal acquaintance with Mr. McLean, but have known Mr. Bailey rather intimately for 40 years, and I know he is an advocate of the most rigid economy in personal as well as public expenditures, and I am sure when he assumes the Executive chair he will do all in his power to put a stop to the orgy of extravagance that has characterized the present Administration; but at the same time will do nothing to hinder or arrest the State’s progress along every line of agricultural, industrial or educational development, but will do all in his power to hasten the day when North Carolina will he reepgaized as the brightest star in the galaxy of American States. Mr. Bailey was Collector of Internal Revenue for eight years under the Wilson Administration, and he is asking no one to testify as to his fidelity in the discharge of his duties, and is perfectly willing to stand or fall on his rec ord. I will say this for him, thab during his incumbency the expense of collecting the revenue was reduced fpom 75 cents for each $100 to 25 cents each $100. Quite a sav ing. To ray mind there is no question of character or quali fications involved in the governorship contest, but only one of representative Government in contradistinction to ring rule and machine politics; or, in other words, wheth er the sovereign people of North Carolina shall he permit ted to select 4-heir own candidates or whether they shall be hand-picked by self-constitutfed party bosses, who ar rogate to themselves superior wisdom, and handed to them on the eve of a primary. I, for one, protest, as being inconsistent with the genius of democratic institutions. V.es, I know you will say any many has a right to enter pi unary. True, but I know, and everybody knows, he does so under a serious handicap, and is hardly treated by the opposition with any fairness, or even common courtesy As a general thing, machine politics means a subsidized press^ and everyone knows what that is. A few days ago the Raleigh correspondent of The Observer had this to say: Max Gardner and almost every man of high stand 'Z ‘£? ^ McLea,." That part of tW. „t“ tt sajTs thiU almost every man of high standing is for McLean I pronounce unqualifiedly false, and I am surprised that The Observer, which claims to bejfair as letvveen the candidates, should carry such stuff in its may “AB«*h a"d gentlemanly plane, as becomes the dignity of th?ofl££v and also to maintain the solidarity of the Demc^S SS- Wh,Ch “ important than .n'Jividu.T^ Shelby, January 26.
