tor of the south," is now in the

his name is being frequently
mentioned in connection with the

where are watching and listening
closely for any word that might
indicate whether he will ran or
“does not choose” to run.
Local party leaders are plan

KILLED IN WRECK
Fayetteville. Oct. 11.—James E.
Tyson. 39, local painter, was kill
ed this morning when his automo
bile left the Fort Bragg road and
plunged into an embankment
while he was towing a car occu
pied by Mallie Badwin, negro.
Mrs. B. R. Underwood, prominent
lady of this city, has been named
Democratic vice chairman for
Wilkes county.
The Democratic plan of organi
zation calls for ?. woman to be
vice chairman in each state and j
county. Mrs. Underwood will
name a lady in each precinct in
the county as township chairman
and the organization will be per
fected on down the line.
The state meeting of Democratic
chairmen was held in Raleigh Fri
day and Mrs. Und'rwood attended.
Mrs. Charles W. Tillet, state vice
chairman, presided over the meet
ing.
Miss Beatrice Cobb, of Morgan-
ton. secretary of the North Caro
lina Press association and a mem
ber of the state Democratic execu
tive committee, brought greetings
to the 300 women assembled and
Miss Harriot Elliot, of Chapel
Hill, spoke very interestingly in
the forenoon on “Liberty.” Her
address was more or less an at
tack on the Liberty league and op
ponents of the Roosevelt adminis
tration. Dr. Carroll, dean of the
University of North Carolina, used
as his subject , “Regimentation.”
One high light of his address was
the declaration that he “preferred
regimentation by a government in
which he had a voice at the polls
to regimentation by a group of
high financiers of Wall Street.”
Prior to the luncheon meeting at
the Raleigh Woman’s club. Mrs.
I James Wolfe, of Washington, D.
C., national organizer, spoke on
the subject of “Organization.” and
outlined plans to be followed in
a thorough organization of Dem-
cratic women voters. Speakers at
the luncheon meeting included such

The Community Carnival to
be held here under the a’Jspices
of the North Wilkesboro Lions
Club will be held at King's Bil
liard Parlor on Hallowe'en night,
October 31, it was decided in a
meeting of the club on Thurs
day evening.
The carnival was originally
planned to be held in the vacant
Call building opposite the bil
liard parlor but it was learned
that this building is to be re
modeled for occupancy and Mr.
Spainhour consented to the use
of his establishment on the cor
ner opposite the Call building.
Plans for the carnival call for
a gala occasion to the people of
this section. Profits from the
games and amusements will be
used in promoting some of the
club’s activities.
In the carnival will be such
concessions as bingo, chuck-a-
luck, fortune telling and all the
features of a big carnival in
miniature.
Interesting discussions of car
nival plans were had Thursday
evening, into which the members
entered with considerable inter
est. Carl Crews, of Elkin, was a
guest of the club.

SHAKES SKYSCRAPER
Chicago, Oct. 12.—A terrific
blast tore through a 14-story
building on the near north side
today, catapulated huge seg
ments of debris through the
street outside, killed two men
and injured 21 others.

quarters of a block of sidewalk

the explosion.
One of the most amusing
and entertaining sports imag
inable will be seen for the first
time in North Wilkesboro Fri
day when a game of donkey
lia.seball will lie played at the
fairgrounds.
It’s not every day that such
a sport as donkey hnseball can
he se n in North Wilkesboro
and not even in the larger
cities, where it is played oc
casionally as an outstanding
attraction. The game will come
to this city Friday under the
auspices of the Wilkes Post of
Ihpf .American Legion.
To say the least, donkey
basebail is a scream from the
first pitch to the last out. The
olijert is for all players to ride
donkeys (if they can) and tlie
rules sjiecify that they must
make all plays whil“ on the
