OTHERS’ VIEWS SAYS EMPLOYER DID NOT SUGGEST SUIT To the Editor: 'You will recall that about a year ago, while working yout town, the truck in which I was riding suddenly ignited causing me to suffer severe burns. I have been informed that rumors are prevalent in your good city that I was urged by my former employer, Straudt's Bakery, of Raleigh, N. C., to bring a civil action against the City of Henderson. An action has been commenced against your city for personal injury, but I hope you will allow me this opportunity to make known to the public of Henderson that I was not in any wise persuaded by my former employer, into whoso employ' I expect to again be taken, to bring this action. I would like to say also, that my employer protected me with work men’s compensation and that each week since my injury, I have regu larly received a check from the car rier of his insurance. (There could have been no reason why my employer could have profit ed by reason of recovery on my part against the City of Henderson, be cause his insurance carrier would not thereby have been relieved of any liability. I think in fairness to all concerned that you will do me, my employer and the City of Henderson a good turn if j you will kindly publish this letter as a news item Thanking you in advance, I am, Sincerely yours, C.

Senator John Sprunt Hill declared that he would vote for a $680,000 increase and ad ded, "it will accomplish everything the friends of the school teachers want to do." He voted "present" when the roll was called on the amendment. The amendment was offered by Sen ators Teague, Griffin of Franklin and others. It was clear that most senators do not think the revenue bill contains enough money to pay in full the ap propriations contained in the spend ing bill. Senator Hill declared that it (the revenue bill) is short $3,000,000 for the biennium. It was that belief that led to the hasty retreat from the $22,000,000 figure. Even Senators War ren and Williams, who had signed the amendment, asked that their names be stricken from it before the roll was called. The school appropriations for the next bieniurn, as written by the joint appropriations committee and passed by the House, were thus adopted by the Senate. They are $20,031,000 for the first year, $20,900,000 for the sec ond. (School expenditures last year were $10,000,000. F. D. R.

THE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS AGO TODAY May 1. t9J.V On the 211th anniver sary of the publication of the first ad vertisement in an American news paper. the most famous advertisement of modern times appeared in a New Sees Chemical Industry Centering in the South C. O. Kuester At a banquet in Charlotte on April 20th, attended by some 600 persons, C. O. Kuester of the Char lotte Chamber of Commerce said that this is an age of chemistry and that the resources and climate of the South provide "almost lim itless possibilities” for the chemical industry. "If the present chemical indufr tries are to thrive,” stated Mr. Kuester. "and if new ones are to come here and thrive also, they must have the unstinted support c*7 all Southern people ... it is a big neighborhood affair, like patroniz ing your local druggist or grocer. When you buy Southern chemical products you boost Southern in* dustry, and when you boost South ern industry, you keep your money at home, helping create wealth in which you yourself will share." As an example of a great South ern chemical product, Mr. Kuester mentioned nitrate of soda and said ''the fact that we pay half of the pre-war price for nitrate of soda Is due to the development of the American industry.” In this conuec- M on, it is interesting to recall that Lr Charles H. Herty likewise re* 'eiiUy mentioned American nitrate oi soda as one of the South’s an soi taut products and one whicb should be supported by Southern ars who believe in the slogan: "Southern fertilisers for the Suutl arn farmer.” > MAY SUN UCN TUE WED THU F 5 SAT Srnrnr i 1011 9 17 18 [1 34 25 26[27|3»|20|30 31 York newspaper.
