COLE BROTHERS LIGHTNING ROD AND PUMP WORKS — Cole Brothers and Brockway established their pump factory here in 1863. In 1875 Mr. Brockway retired, after having disposed of his interest to Cole Bros, who continued the business, and in 1879 they removed their Lightning factory from St. Louis, and combined the two businesses. The firm has, in addition to its business in this city, several branch houses and partnerships located in other states, among which is a one-half interest in Harris & Cole Bros., business, located at Cedar Falls, Iowa, and Columbia, Tenn., the largest Wood Pump Factory in the United States, if not in the world. Their sawmills, boring machinery, etc., at Columbia, Tenn., furnish all the lumber used in the manufacture of pumps, veranda posts, etc., made by the firm, and in addition to that, large amounts of lumber are furnished to other pump factories in the North and Northwest, already bored and ready for use. Cole Bros. Prong Plow Manufacturing Company is now putting in a full line of plow machinery to manufacture the Mitchell Prong-Plow, and expects to commence in a few weeks. If this new enterprise is as successful as their other business enterprises have been, the day is not far distant when another large business will be established here that will give employment to a great many laborers. The principles upon which this plow is constructed are new, and it is believed by those who have tested it, that it will revolutionize the manufacture of plows. It will plow, without clogging, such soils as the waxy soil of Texas and the gumbo soils of other sections of the country, and cannot be excelled in any ordinary soil. It runs much lighter than any solid mold-board and solid share plow, and while it is especially adapted to the waxy soils, it excels all other plows as a general purpose plow. The annual sale by this firm is not less than

By HENRY CATHCART Central Press Washington Writer YV^ ASHING TON—An analysis of the votes cast by Negroes W in the recent national elections shows that this bloc of voters is responding at the polls predominantly to the position of the candidates on the one subject of civil rights. Where Democratic candidates faced Republicans and no issue of race was involved, Negroes voted for the man rather than the party, although their allegiance continued to lean toward the Democratic Party. Where one candidate opposed racial integration while the other supported it, their votes went almost completely to the man on their side of the issue, regardless of

his party affiliation.

Even, as was the case in some southern states, where candidates for office from both parties were opposed to racial integration, the Negro voters cast their ballots for the man they considered to be the least offensivs to them and the least extreme in his views. As Negro voter registration continues over the next two years, this characteristic of voting on the basis of the single issue of civil rights will become a larger factor in the po-

litical decision-making on the part of many candidates in ths

South as well as elsewhere in the nation.

And oddly enough, this characteristic will have a major effect in reducing the extremism that now characterizes the political

issue of civil rights.

• GET THE MESSAGE •—Sargent Shriver’s Office of Economic Opportunity is in hot water in Congress, and representatives charged with approving appropriations for the agency are becoming short-tempered about the whole program. To illustrate: House Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman John E. Fogarty, D-R.I., asked Shriver during a hearing on his money request how much his agency had requested originally from the Bureau of the Budget. Shriver replied, “We have to get permiseion to get that figure.** Angered, Fogarty barked M ... you can leave the room and ths hearing is concluded if you don’t get it. Do I get through to you?” Shriver quickly told the subcommittee that OEO had requested 33.39 billion, but President Johnson had recommended only 31.75

billion.

In other words, OEO’s budget was cut in half before It ever was sent to Capitol Hill. • • * • • FISHBOWL—Professional diplomats have a deeply-rooted fear of being forced to negotiate international matters publicly.

of south of New Winchester held “Open House” to their many relatives and friends Sunday afternoon. They have spent fifty years together here in Marion Township. It was nice that they could welcome folks into a home recently built. Some fine things go with an occasion of this kind. One thing is greeting a good man and wife and extending to them one’s sincere congratulations. Another is to meet a dozen or more folks that have been out of one’s recollection for many years. To shake their hand and call their name again makes the days ahead happier. When Mr. and Mrs. McVay were asked if their wedding day fifty years ago was bright and warm as it was Sunday, they both laughed and said that the I wedding day weather was ' “rough.” Fifty years ago Conrad McVay was one of the outstanding basketball forwards in both Hendricks and Putnam Coun-

j ties.

The Coatesville Town Board at its last meeting chose a new town marshal since Noble Bowen had resigned the job. The new man is Leonard (Pete) Walton, a man well known to almost everyone for miles around. Pete has been a local citizen here since birth. When a very young man he joined the U. S. Navy and at one time served on the crusier, Indianapolis. When World War II came Pete had retired however, he answered a call of duty and served as an officer at the Naval Station in Indianapolis. Pete has had a great interest in kid baseball and has often been an umpire in their games. While in the navy he was known as one of the handiest of men with a pair of boxing

gloves.

The town board feels that It has selected a fair and square man, one that folks will like and one who will do his duty while a town marshal. When the Farm Supply Company opened doors for business Thursday morning the discovery was soon made that a burglar had entered the building some time during the latter part of the night. A window at the back of the store was where entrance was made. The sheriff and a state trooper were on the premises about nine o’clock checking for clues. The general talk was that no money was taken, however, the burglar helped himself to some hardware, air guns and various commodities. The local town marshal was by the chief places of business between eleven and twelve o’clock and saw no evidence of a break-in at that time. The old telephone building that has stood for several years on South Milton Street near the Baptist Church is being loaded on trucks and moved this week to the farm of "Hoot” Gibson on Road 40. The building is close to thirty-six feet square and will have to be taken north through town and across to Road 75 and then hauled south.

missed.

The Pittsboro team was host Friday night to the basketball squad of Cascade and they were quite generous by letting the Cadets run wild on their floor. Two of the Cadets ran their scores into big figures. Neeley laid in 29 points and York followed with 24, the same number made the entire game by Pitts-

boro.

Cascade was in the lead 4218 at the half-time and then did a little better the second half to win easily 90-53. Kenneth Edwards has recently purchased a small farm of Horace Robinson that lies southwest of town on the Coatesville-Fillmore Road. This week and last the Coatesville Elevator has handled more than 20,000 bushels of com each day. The grain is said to be reasonably free of moisture and very good quality when one considers the dry season. As we face Thanksgiving Day don’t anyone say: “What could I be thankful for in times like these?” There have been worse times dear folks, yes, many times In this world and they passed on. Abraham Lincoln once said that men and things wobbled but after while they tended to wobble straight. This Thanksgiving let’s be thankful for health, for work to do, for friends and kin and grandchildren. Let us be thankful for daily bread and for shelter and clothes and then be thankful for a Thanksgiving sermon, an honest prayer and a beautiful song. The annual Thanksgiving Service was held at the Methodist Church Thursday morning at 9:00. Sunday morning, November 20, the new Methodist Hymnals were dedicated. These hymnals were made possible by contributions of many Interested members and friends. Harry Walton deserves much credit for getting new books. Amo and Coatesville Churches will send an offering of $29.00 each to the Henderson Settlement at Frakes, Kentucky.
