GARDNER PAYS TRIBUTE, (Continued from first page.) no taxes, but they possessed a spirit that has become the world’s store house for wanting human hearts and generating human sympathy from which has come a continuous stream of tax paid gold to advance and ghn i fy human government and alleviate human suffering. If \vc enlist in th army of these two pnwr 'nl pro gressives and with an'unconquerable spirit follow their flag there will never be occasion to call North Caro lina a stand pat state or denounce - Its government as backward, paraimon* ferns and un progressive. We have placed a high estimate on the word “progressive” in North Carolina. It is a comprehensive, word and subject to wide and varied inter pretations. l.aKoik-tte wiv one sort of progressive and J. B. Du lie an - other, but in terms of thinglng they were not related b ybland or marriage The literal meaning is to go forward. I like to think of it, however, as a great spiritual movement. As applied to government, progress does not consist solely in the collecting and disbursement of public funds; al though money is an essential ele ment to the guarantee of the States’ uninterrupted progress, to greater heights than : he has over yet ac hieved. It takes money and lots of it ! if wo a» not to la*' in the* march of modern r.vibration, ami North Caro lina i- aot a lagging State. Taking Stock.

Give us great power, give us •.afe control. ;? e us w:se operation on hard surface roads, and North Carolina will steadily climb the heights that lead to the final uplands. The Stater’s Pride. We take pardonable pride in the marvelous development and material prosperity of North Carolina, hut I declare to you that the crowning ae heiycnient.' of cur State have not coin- from industry, insurance, real estate, agriculture and commerce. It has come from the awakened con* I -oience of an amused people. It is reflected in the lives of the redeem - [ed boys and girls; in the unstopped mars of deaf children; in renewed strength to the ripped deformed; in ihe restored health of poor and bro ken bodies; in the blinded eyes made to see; in tin hushed vail of the in sane; in the- brightened faces of nine hundred thousand school children; in the growth and enlarged institu t:ons of every kind under State con trol; and finally itt the outstretched arms of the ifiother State calling to her children to tome up higher and higher. The last eight years have been the golden age in North Carolina. In this period wo have* lightened the way with h policy of broad benevolence, unstinted charity, and splendid ,aeri iic;* which has so sweetened the life, of tiu* State as to smooth the rough places,' relieve the sorrows, alleviate the sufferings, remove the disease, save the erring, educate the illiter ate and lighten the heavy load of cere upon the conscience of progres sive people. It is in this human cur rent of the life of your state 1 urge you, young men, to enter, and to en ter with powerful determination to give heart and hope and inspiration and yourselves, that North Carolina may be welded and ocmcnted into a great and glorious civilization wel coming the dawn of n better cay and the building of a finer and nobler .'.tut e. . Wo must all move, but we must move together. No progress, which rfoes not lift all, ever permanently lifted any. Secret Election Law. VVc shall not rest content u ith our material, social and educational pro grams. In a modern democracy the life of a people is expressed at the ballot box. The boasted seapter and crown of a free people if an untram melled ballot. Oar elections have been as free from corruption and in justice as human nature and partism feeling will permit, tut 1 am con vinced that the time has come in our state when we should stand abreast of our sister commonwealth and of fer to the electorate of North Caro lina a secret ballot in conformity to the Australian law. My feeling is that we should main tain an election law so fair and free and just that it will secure, beyond the shadow of a doubt, unchallenged expression of popular will. I there fore urge the American Legion to throw the weight of its powerful in fluence to the enactment by our General Assembly of the Australian ballot. In conclusion, let us pledge each other that we will henceforth love and servo our country more devoted ly, that we will abate none of our convictions, but that our partnership shall be without the sting of person — ,1 abuse; that we recognize a world wide sorrow as having drawn us in to a clearer understanding at home and abroad, and that the heartfelt .emotions of the American legion will iind definite expression in kinship with the race and membership in •the irr. mortal throng of God’s children. Carolina-State FpctbsH Game Was Big Feature. Crowds At Fall Event Small (By R E. Powell.) Raleigh, Nov. 10.—Failure of Caro lina and State College to agree upon a date and terms for the annual foot ball game between these two institu tions or the refusal of Carolina to play here on Thursday of fair week, according to' the way you look at it —may mean the end of the great Slate Fair. The football game on Thursday has been the increasingly major at traction for the past four years. Meantime, the fair association has continued to show a less. It was hot hiakinfi money when, at the beginning of the former Mrs. Vanderbilt’s ad Inisitration, the wild and wooly shows (rambling devices wore barred the flower gardens substituted, i; has not made any money since and it ha aUempud nothing new in the way o'.' attracting' crowns. Want Horse Show. Some eminent sportsmen last s*ya so” conceived the idea o' a society horse show, a proposition which look ed attractive. There has been renew ed interest in horses during the last few years. A shew of far.hjonal steeds and all that goes with such exhibi tion would have been a (.treat thing for the 1925 fair. But there wa: n’t enough money on hand to finance it and the sportsnun who were ‘willing to give thei, time ami interest and o.iui money were utnvili.ng to take aii the. risk. Except for the fact that Q. Max Gardner, of Shelby, was identified as president of the North Carolina Agri cultural Society—with the last-ex position it is extremely doubtful if it would have proved a success as m a si’.rtd by the failures for the thr< e years past. Many of Mr. Gardner's friends pitched in this time througn rh'cer interest in his administration of the job. The gates were open an ex tra day but .the gate receipts show, d little swelling as a result. The snap and pep wise missing and th diffi culty which exhibni have been hav ing in the past kept many of them away. Controversy On.

Peeler*owner and manager of the Cleveland Motor Company was born on the farm at Bel-w.ood but he has done more to introduce the well and favorably known Dodge Brothers auto mobile to the people in this territory than any other because he has sold this car for a number of years and each year the sales record increased. Mr. Peeler knows automobiles, that’s why he has ' settled down on the Dodge and pusher, it with all his enthusiasm. He igime to Shelby in 1916 and i associated himself with Chas. L. Eskridge local dealer for the Ford and Fordson. The connection was continued until 1920 when he organized and incorporated the Cleveland Motor Co., handling in the order named the Hudson, Essex, Overland and Dodge. Back in 1922 Mr. Peeler bought the business from the stockholders and leased all other contracts except the Dodge which has proven so popular here. The new building which the Cleveland Motor Co. occupies is the largest and handsomest garage in this section. It is fire-proof, 60X100 foot, two stories high, brick, concrete and steel construction. The upper story is used for Storage, the shop and stockroom and the first floor holds an up-to date showroom, displaying the latest models of the famous Dodge cars, modern accessory shop, handle a general line, and additional space is for storage. The organization also operates a first class filling station. They handle such well known trade marked goods as Fisk and Ajax Tires, C. G. Bumpers, Exide Batteries and other accessories just as famous and well known. . Harry Hartz Drives A Dodge Car. t In a short interview with Mr. Peeler, regarding automobiles he spoke of the automobile races held at Charlotte today, and of a famous driver Harry Hartz who made a recent purchase. “Prominent speedway pilots whose daring and skilled driving thrills thousands of automobile race fans at this important speedway race are fully aware of the risk and danger to which the sport constantly subjects them Peeler stated. These men contrary to popular belief are almost invariably careful, thoughtful, considerate drivers in the city and on the highway. It is only natural that a driver whose safety and life depends upon the car which ho drives sev eral hundred miles above two miles a minute, should devote much attention to the mechanical con hie a. .a l_• ’a._i j • ii i , . VWI* cation of his mount. Back of that he is interest-ed in the ability of the axles, steering knuckles steering connections and other vital parts to en-dure the severe strains set up by the terrific speeds. “When a driver buys his car for his own use or that of his family he is of course interested in the strength and endurance of the chassis and in the safety of the body. Harry Hartz, who finished second in a miller eight cylinder car in the 250 Mile Labor Dav Race on the board oval at Altoona, Penn, bought a Dodge Brothers special business Coupe the dav be’ tore the big event. When he drove this attractive new car to the track his friends began to ask him where he got it, why he bought it, and what he was going to do with it after the race. Hart/ explained, ‘I intend to drive it instead of taking the train to the rest of the speedway races here in the East and then to drive back to California. “WTien asked why he bought the car ho replied Because there is no doubt as to its absolute dependability—the all-steel body is safer than am’ wood frame body—and it has ail the power and more .speed than I need on the highway. That Hartz knows motors anti motor performance and knows the importance of allov stpol in making a car sate is assured,” Peeler continued,” by the experience he secured with Fred i)n sonburg as mechanic and as driver. Harry and Jimmy Murphy, in fact took the sixteen cylinder Dusenburg to hjorida and groomed and tuned it up for the establishment of the records which still stand tor the kilometer and the mile and the mile and the distances up to ten miles. For the last two years Hartz has been driving Miller cars in all the prominent speedway races and been nlaviiio consistently among the first few to finish. __ Playing DR. B. M.
