Believes A New
Clock At Court j
House Best Idea
Would Cost Much To Repair Old
Clock Should Walt And Get
New One.
Repairing the present town clock
on top of the county court house,
as recommended by the grand Jury,
would cost a considerable sum in
the opinion of T. W. Hamrick, local
jeweler, who is experienced in such
work. In view of the fact that the
’ock is out of date and would re
lire much work, he suggests that
n might be best, and a saving in
the long run, to wait until the
commissioners can see their way
clear to purchasing a new clock
which would keep correct time.
In a letter to The Star, Mr.
Hamrick says:
“I notice in an issue of the Cleve
land Star that the Grand Jury, for
the second time, has recommended
that the County Commissioners
have the town clock on top of the
court house repaired, and since I’m
in the clock business I wish to say
a few words in regard to it. Sev
eral years ago I had an article in
The Star stating that the cable on
the clock weights was insufficient
and liable to break at anytime and
that when it did much damage
would be done. However, nothing
was done about it and you see what
happened. The clock is almost a
complete wreck. The cogs on the
wheels are stripped and the clock
would have to be taken apart and
the broken parte seat into the fac
tory to be duplicated, and since the
clock is a very old model, the parts
would have to be made to order,
and even then there would be no
guarantee that it would ever be
satisfactory and the cost would be
several hundred dollars. If we are
goin? to have a town clock, and we
should have, the tower on the court
house should be extended twenty
five feet higher. First to get it up
above the trees so it can be sera
from any section of town. Second,
to give space for the weights, and
latticed windows for the strike or
chinfes.
“The improvement in town clocks
the past 20 years is almost as great
as is radios and automobiles and
the modern clocks would have bev
el glass over the hands and face
electrically lighted and the strike
would have a soft musical note that
would not jar the most sensitive
nerves.
“Possibly the people would rath
er have the old clock patched up
than to do without entirely, but
personally, I had rather wait until
the commissioners can see their
way clear to make the needed im
provements and install a modern
clock/’

Gardner Tells Doctors Of Pride
In His “CountryDoctor”Father

Makes His Calls On Patients,
Rain Or Shine.
Raleigh.—Members of the medical
profession were lauded for their de
votion to duty and their constant
willingness to serve in times of
emergency • by Governor O. Max
Gardner, in speaking before the
Wake county medical association
here. But he was especially strong
In his praise of the old-fashioned
country doctor, who went whenever
or wherever he was needed, rain or
shine, in the service of humanity.
He incidentally asked the doctors to
devote more attention to lowering
the high cost of being sick, so that
better medical attention and CgJge
can be brought Into the homes of
the less well-to-do people.
In the course of his talk, Gover
nor Gardner mentioned he was 'he
son of an old-fashioned country
doctor and that he amassed no
wealth, and collected little money
for his services, ‘he bequeathed to
me more than material wealth; he
left me a devotion to the unfortun
ate, to the sick and to the helpless—
a heritage to my life and given to
his name in my memory a crown
of perpetual glory. I stand un
covered in the presence of the couo •

Fanner WIU Be Lending
Achievement Of His Regime
Raleigh —Governor Oliver Max
well Gardner Saturday completed
his first year of a four-year term
as chief executive of North Caro
lina.
A year ago Saturday a cold and
dreary January 11, with rain fall
ing, Oovemor Gardner entered upon
his duties and daring the year that
has passed he has been faced with
many problems, some of a character
which veteran state government, ob
servers say have never before faced
a Tar Heel governor.
The labor unrest made the year
the most turbulent in that respect
since the days of reconstruction.
Governor Gardner personally be
lieves., he said that the greatest
single contribution of his adminis
tration to the State thus far was
the fight he waged and won for an
Increased equalization fund.
"Persuading the 1929 general as
sembly to increase the school equal
izing fund so that state aid oould
be given to rural districts seeking
to provide an eight months school
term, was probably the greatest con
tribution of my first year to the tax
payers of the state,” Governor Gard
ner said. "I went before the legisla
ture and advocated an increase In
the equalization fund for six months
schools, and it was Increased 100
per cent Then in the face of much
opposition, I fought for and won
an increase in the fund for the ad
ditional two months. Thereby taxes
in every district in the state hive
been reduced.’'

Governor Gardner was almost im
mediately faced with labor trouble",

Government Considers Baying Of
Big Tract Of Land In This Area
Rutherfordton, January 13 —
It ha3 been learned from authori
tative sources that the treasury de
partment of the United States is
seriously considering the purchi.se
of a tract of land containing about
20,000 acres, and lying in McDoycli,
Burke, Cleveland and Rutherford
counties, says The Rutherford Sun,
Dr. Treadway, chief of the Nar
cotic hospital services, was directed
to make an investigation and this
he is doing now. After completion
of the survey he will make a report
and it is likely that his recommen
dations will carry considerable
weight with the treasury depart
ment. Some time ago it was an
nounced that a hospital for drug
addicts was to be built somewhere
in the south and preierably in the
mountainous sectign. The gro£-rit£
now being surveyed and inspected
belongs to the WMght-Bachman Co.
It is understood that this company
has made an offer to the govern
ment but no announcement has
been made about the price, either
as a whole or in part. The tract is
in the mountains,- Golden Valley in
Rutherford county, and is heavtiy
timbered. This fact may influence
the decision, and also the fact that
the region is not near any town.
Many tracts of land have been
offered as possible sites for the new
hospital, and the prices have rang
ed widely; some of the acreage was
quoted at $200 per acre, some at
$1,000 and other land as high as 5,
000 per acre. While the price would
not be a deciding factor, it would,
nevertheless, have much to do with
the purchase of a site, i
