The people of North Carolina have
spoken In a voice that is clear and
convincing. Even though the national
amendment is repealed, the majority
of North Carolinians want to retain
the State laws prohibiting the manu
facture and sale of intoxicating li
quors within the State. This decision
means that the entire burden of en
forcing the State prohibition laws
will fall upon the shoulders of State
and county officers. This will be a
hard job, but the same spirit that
impelled North Carolinians to be
“first at Manassas, farthest at Get
tysburg, and last at Appomatox,”
will not be discouraged by the hard
ships Imposed by the people’s decision
Tuesday. Ours is a democratic gov
ernment. “Let the people speak and
the majority rule,” has been a heri
tage all through the years since this
commonwealth was established. And
now it will be the duty of every citi
zen worthy the name to let his local
officers know that he will stand by
and support them in the task that
now confronts them. Bootlegging anti
allied evils thrive or disappear alto
gether to the same extent that public
opinion approves or disapproves such
illegal business. The mandate of the
people, is clear. The path of duty is
before us. “Let the people speak, and
tlje majority rule.”
Press reports from Raleigh quote
Mr. Murphy, repealist leader, as say
ing that the vote of North Carolinians
Tuesday indicated a return to Hoov
erism. Thousands of North Carolina
Democrats will resent that statement.
Mr. Murphy worked for a cause that
he thought was right. North Caro
linians voted for what they thought
was right, and when the votes were
counted Mr. Murphy’s cause was lost.
Come on, Mr. Murphy, take your de
feat like a man. No one likes the fel
low that boasts of his victories and
sulks over his defeats.
In any election where there are twc
or more issues, someone has to lose

Jaensville, Wis., Nov. 7-Reopening
®f the assembly plant of the Chevro
let Motor company here in the near
future was promised today by Ellery
L. Wright, former Plant Manager.
Mr. Wright has been in the city
for the past several days supervising
painting and general reconditioning
of the huge plant on Industroal Ave
nue, which was by far the largest em
ployer of local labor prior to its being
closed in September of last year.
Mr. Wright warned that no em
ployment is now available at the
plant, and emphasized further that
when operations resume here after
more that a year of idleness only
workers formerly on the rolls will be
recalled.
With the assembly line in full op
eration, as well as the adjacent Fish
er body plant, upwards of 1,500 local
men again will find employment here
with the largest division of General
Motors, Mr. Wright estimated.
Mr. Wright let it be known that he
will resume management of the local
plant when production gets under
way. He said he did not think this
could take place for the next month
or more. Meanwhile, the plant is be
ing prepared, and new machinery in
stalled for the assembly of the latest
models of the campany.
The plant here was taken over by
Chevrolet from the old Sampson Trac!
tor Company and placed in operation1
in February, 1923. From that date un
til the closing of the plant in Septem
ber, 1932, more than 800,000 Chevro
4had been assembled here. This turned
into local channels of trade many mil
lions of dollars in payrolls, and sus-1
t'ained the bulk of the population of
Janesville.
The President speaks—the coun
try responds. We’ve been used to that
lately, and it happened again in Mr.
Roosevelt’s optimistic radio talk of
October 22. Gist of the pseech was
that the recovery plans are succeed
ing. The President reviewed progress
made in employment under the N.R.
A., the achievements in the field of
price-upping and stabilization, the
agricultural jgyfliustment work, which

Bills affecting Alleghany which

156, reported unfavorably, by the

I would have fixed the time of opening
t registrationas the third Saturday be
j fore each election in Alleghany,
j (2) House Bill 1218, which failed to
tpass its final reading in the House,
J would have created the Daniel Boone
! National Forest Park, comprising ter
ritory in 13 counties in the northwes
tern part of the State, in cludihg Al
leghany. State and private lands plac
ed under Park supervision by volun
tary co-operative agreements, would
have been administered by the United
States Forest Service with the co
operation of a Superintendent of
State Interests and the State de
partment of Conservation and Devel
, opment. Adequately supervised Lim
bercutting, stock raising, shrub gath
' firing, hunting an fishing would have
ibeen permitted; and tourist trade
'would have been promoted. The bill
would further have provided that al
ter its passage any land purchased in
North Carolina by the Federal gov
ernment should be bought for not less
j than $5.00 an acre; and (doubtless be
j cause of the inexperience of Hay
wood and Swain counties with the
j Great Smokies Park) that a sufficient
portion of Park revenues should be
paid to the counties affected to off
set their los in tax revenues. Before
the bill was tabled amendments were
adopted which required the price to
be paid by the Federal Government
werely to be “adequate”, and which
required that the payments to the
counties equal only 50 percent of their
tax revenue loss.
(3) Before House Bill 899 -was
permitted to die in the House Com

amendments we offered to exempt
amendments were offered to exempt
30 counties, including Alleghany. It
would have eliminated the mandatory
characterof all county and city of
fices established by legislative act,
thus allowing county commissioners
and city aldermen to consolidate or
abolish such offices. This was one of
a series of three bills designed to give
absolute discretion tp local governing
authorities with respect to salaries,

wages and fees, except for offices

NRA EXEMPTIONS OF
FARMERS AND SMALL
STORES IN RURAL TOWNS
WASHINGTON, OCT. 30—In addi
tion to exempting from the operation
of the master retail code, and also
from the President's Reemployment
Agreement, all stores not having
more than five employes in towns of
less than 2,500 population, the Presi
dent issued an additional Executive
order which exempts farmers’ coop
erative organizations whose members
receive “patronage dividends’’ from
the sections covering fair practice
sections of all codes. Such sections
either limit or prohibit rebates or al
lowances of any kind to favored pur
chasers whether in the form of money
goods, or service, or otherwise.
Exemption of smal merchants in
towns of less than 2,600 was contem
plated in preliminary arrangements
made weeks ago for creation of con
sumers’ councils to hear complaints
of unwarranted price increases in
behalf of the Consumers’ Advisory
Board of NRA, with the sole excep
tion of chain stores and branches of
service organizations. Two weeks be
fore the President’s exemption order
w&s issued it had been determined
as a policy of the Recovery Adminis
tration because of hardships imposed
in rural communities.
In explaining the exemption of
3mall njgrchants in small towns, Na
tional Recovery Administrator Hugh
S. Johnson said in part:
“The recovery program came at
a time when low prices were crush
ing agriculture, when in cities and
towns there was the greatest unem
ployment we have ever known, when
debt and closed banks were slowing
activity in cities and on farms, and
destructive business practices, due to
depression, threatened many indus
tries. The recovery program was de
signed to go to the heart of each
trouble. To farmers it gave the ad
justment and farm loan acts. To the
unemployed it gave the recovery act,
which permitted the wiping out of
unfair trade practices. The banking
and financial legislation attacked the
problem of debt and frozen deposits
for both farm and city. Of course,
more wages mean increased costs and
higher prices. We must remember
that when we started many prices
were at panic low, levels at which
neither industry nor labor cpuld live.
Of this broad program NRA is but a
part. It has nothing to do with farm
prices or public works, oil adminis
tration, or the home and farm loan
acts, etc. It is solely conected with
industrial organization for economic
planning and control with reemploy
ment.

AMERICAN LEGION
ADOPTS PROGRAM
The American Legion program for
1934, beginning at once, has Just been
compiled by National' Headquarters of
the Legion and a copy of such pro
gram has Just been received at De
partment Headquarters of the Legion
and forwarded to each Legion Post.
The program of the Legion men
tioned above is one of the most con
structive and conservative in the his
tory of the Legion. No one can ob
ject to this program and every citizen
of the United States can support it.
The American Legion will have no
difficulty this year. Every veteran of
the World War should get into this
work at once, because his help is
needed. Our National Commander,
who is called the “Abraham Lincoln
of the Legion,’’ in his home town,
declares half of the men and women
of the World War still living will
join the Legion in this, and that it is
up to each Legionnaire., to see that
they do. Then we must have a unity
of thought in each of these activities,
unity of expression and unity of ac
tion. We can have such team-owrk
under our national commander’s lead
ership and cannot fail. Our first Job
is to thoroughly understand the Le
gion’s program.
The major points of the program,
in a ntshell, as outlined by national
headquarters to all Department and
Post officials, are as follows:
Restore those disabled in line of
duty in the war to their status prior
to March 20, 1933; hospitalize in gov
ernment Institutions all needy veter
ans requiring it; restore service con
nection for the disabled veteran if his
case was so stated prior to March
20, 1933 and provide government pro
tection for dependent widows and or
phans of veterans.
Increase Legion aid to needy chil
dren of veterans which has been ne
cessitated by economy reductions of
benefits to veterans; ratify child labor
amendment in states where this has
not been done; promote legislation,
state and nationally, to provide public
health facilities, and conduct educa
tional campaigns concerning child
welfare conditions, facilities, mothers’
aid and legal adoption of minors.
Protect our schools from undue
economy slashes, advance patriotism,
character and health among students.
Conduct youth activities including
Junior baseball, Boy Scouting, C. M.
T. C., R. O. T. C., National Boys’
Week, Junior rifle clubs and 4-H
clubs. Participate in community ser
vice work. Sponsor reduction of im
migration quotas by 90 per cent down
to 10 per cent allowed under 1924
laws. Urge federal laws excluding
alien communists, and expulsion of
aliens who would overthrow our gov
ernment or who are beholden to the
ThirdNa tionale. Continue principle
that naturalized citizens must bear
arms in defense of this country in
an emergency. Oppose recognition of
communist soviet Russia.
A law and order committee will be
appointed by the national organiza
tion to study the problem of crime,
and devise plans for state and nation
al Legion organizations to participate
jn curbing crime. Urge laws to end
sale of machine guns and similar
weapons except to military and law
enforcement authorities.
Build up the navy from third place,
and the army from 17th place, to pro
visions of the London Treaty. Oppose
cancellation of any or all War debts.
Oppose the United States entering
into the League of Nations or to ad
herence to the World Court, either
with or without reservations.
Urge Boards of Review to make
complete and conscientious considera
tion of all facts and circumstances
pertaining to every claim of disabled
veterans.
Support the NRA in the present
emergencyandfavora sound American
dollar.
Advocate a careful study by our
government of the dangers of infla
tion.
Demand an equitable distribution
of the tax‘burden and the elmination
of injustices brought about by tax
exempt securities.

ACTS OF NOTABLES WHO
WERE GREAT MASONS
Whan walking one day in the sub
urbs of Vienna, Mozart was accosted
by a mendicant of such prepossessing
mien and acumen of mind in relating
his story that the famous musician
was strongly moved in his favor. The
contents of his purse not being as
much as he thought he should give
the applicant, Mozart asked him into
a nearby coffee house. There'he drew
from his pocket some paper and in a
few moments composed a minuet
which he handed to the distressed
man with the request that he take it
to a certain publisher named in a note
which he had written.
Any musical composition from Mo
zart to this publisher was a bill at
sight. So one can imagine how sur
prised and happy the mendicant was
when immediately the publisher plac
ed in his hands five double ducats.
