According to some of our newspapers it is estimated that the snow last week cost the South two million dollars.

J I repeat, with the same faith and j the same determination, my words of j March 4, ?"We face the arduous I days that lie before us in the warm j courage of national unity; with a clear consciousness of seeking old and precious moral values; with a clean satisfaction that comes from the stern 1 performance of duty by old and young j alike.

U recognizes that there are many thorough? going '^economists In the general assembly and wished to build up s powerful support for those Legislators who Labor for county economy i as well ss for those who strive not merely for a so-called balanced budget j but who earnestly wish to keep in > mind (the taxpayer* of the state, inI stead of the spending agencies, how1 ever meritorious they may be. j Everybody admits that 193d was a golden year for free spenders, but few 'seem to know that erery*tax on the i books in 1930 for state purposes is still being collected and that in addition the following new taxes have been Imposed: Hydro-electric, iutang! iblea, beer, liquors. The four new taies are expected to produce |2,500,000 during the next fiscal year. That indicates that as conditions improve we shall have all the old taxes and 12,500.000. in addition. It is a fair question to ask ourselves as citizens Should we tr} to make this state attractive to capital by reducing taxes: or shall we drive it out? Shall we stimulate home ownership through low taxes, or shall we continue a ruinous policy which makes it cheaper to rent than to pay taxes, insurance and upkeep? All the spending agencies \ery properly present their budget, always providing for expansion and increase. The citizen who thinks of the taxpayer first makes his unrelenting fight to support the legislator who works for economy and to defeat those who yield too readily to the persuasion Of the spenders. SHOOT THE HORN HONKERS, One Editor Is Moved To Complain Of Use Of Horn For Brakes. The Gaffney Ledger says the driver w ho honks "his horn unnecessarily isn't exactly a menace, but he is one of : the greatest nuisances our civilization ! has developed. Exterminating him 1 would probably be too severe punish- i ment, but if it is possible to civilize hi:u, no effort should be spared to do so. The horn on an auto should be for I emergency use only and the fellow ' who uses it promiscuously is abusing ! the purpose for which it is intended I as well as making himself a sort of public enemy. Many of the larger cities are campaigning against unnecessary noises and the excessive use of auto horns is getting due attention. In New York and other large centers, several arrests and fines have been meted out to those who disturb the peace with auto horns. It has been estimated that the average driver uses the horn about five times as much as It should be used legitimately. The fine suggestion made on the subject that the use of brakes should replace the use of the horn is of real merit and such practice would automatically eliminate the horn honker and the nuisance th?i he creates. The Tommy Touhy arrested in Chicago by government men, they say is one of the gang who robbed a Charlotte mail truck of $105,OOu. in 1933 and Touhy got part of the loot, although not in the actual robbery.
