The Tribune Bureau Sir Walter Hotel Raleigh, Oct. 14.—What price auto mobile accidents? Already the deaths of 57 persons in automobile accidents on the highways of North Carolina have been tabulated for September and reports are still being received. In August there were 42 deaths, and in July 33 deaths from automobile accidents, according to the accident division of the automotive division of the State department of revenue. In August 566 automobiles were involved in these accidents and 443 persons injured, in addition to the 42 that were killed. It seems likely that the September report will show in addition to the 57 killed, more than 450 injured and more than 600 automobiles involved in accidents. But aside from the loss of life which is excessive and is increasing month by month and the economic loss from loss of time of those injured and the loss incurred in the damage of the automobiles, still another loss looms —and a loss which will affect those not involved in accidents. This is a loss to the public which threatens in the form of higher cas ualty and liability rates. For letters are being received by the accident de partment from insurance companies in all sections of the country asking for the monthly accident reporte. And if these accidents continue to increase, there is no doubt but that the companies issuing accident insur ance policies and various forms of automobile liability and casualty in surance will be forced to increase their rates in the state, according to Stacey W. Wade, commissioner of insurance. “So far North Carolina has en joyed the same rates for these typefc of insurance as have, other states,” said Mr. Wade, “but if the number of automobile accidents keeps on in creasing as in the past few months there is no doubt but that the rates in this state will eventually be raised, just as the fire insurance rates were raised when fire loses became exces sive. So it would be well to take some steps to reduce the number of accident* right now.” W. A L.-DUKE IN CROSS-COUNTRY MEET Five Mile Course to Be Run during Richmond and Duke Game Satur day. Durham, Duke University. Oct. 14. —Continuing the uports program be tween Washington and Lee and Duke Universities, the cross-country run ners represting the Generals will ap pear Saturday at this school to en gage the Duke runners in the annual five-mile cross-country classic. Duke's team under the direction of Coach Bucbhiet, appears to oe oue of the best in the history of the school. Captain Woodward is one ot the best long distance runners in the state. Tuttle another runner on the Duke team won the South Atlantic championship last year- The other members of the team are Swain. Owens. Winecoff, and Ix>ng, first year men. Coach Fletcher, track mentor at Washington and I>ee. will bring an equally ae strong a team to Durham this year as he brought last year, when his men defeated the Devils runners 24-34. His strength is tered around Captain Nance a-nu Tilley, two of the formost runners in the south. The race is scored by the number of the men placing. Only the first five men count when the final scores are tota’led. Last year the Washing ton and Lee runners placed first, third, fifth, seventh, eight, ninth and eleventh, totaling 24 points while Duke placed second, fourth, sixth, tenth, twelfth, thirteenth and four teenth, totalling 34 points. The run will be started during tne second period and finish at the half of the Richmond-Duke football game. The course will be five miles starting from Hanes field, running a mile west of Durham, then aeross the new campus and back to Hanes field. “Are you a native of this place?" the visitor to the sleepy little vi lage asked a boy. “Be I what?” “I want to know if you are a na tive of this place?” At that moment the boy's father appeared at the open door of a cot tage and cried: “Ain’t you got no sense. .Tim?

THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD LITIGATION SETTLED Suit Between Arkansas Coal Company And Miners’ Body Is Finally Closed. Fort Smith. Ark., Oct. 13. —After 13 years of litigation in which the case twice was before the Supreme court, the $2,000,000 suit of the Coronaio Coal company against the United Mine Workers of America— an outgrowth of the labor troubles in the Hartford valley coal fields of Arkansas in 1914—has been settled. Under the terms of the agreement, as announced here today by Matt Melroy, president of District 21, Un ited Mine Workers, the miners’ or ganization will pay to the coal com pany $27,000, approximately the amount of the costs which would be involved in tlje fifth trial of the case, set for November 28. Earl E. Houck, head of the depart ment. of investigation of the United Mine Workers, arrived here today from Indianapolis with an order for dismissal of the suit, signed by Judge Joseph H. Holyneaux, of the federal district court of Minnesota, before whom the iast two trials were held. The order will be filed in United States court here when Judge Frank A. Y'oumans returns from Harrison, Ark., where he now is holding court. Under the agreement as announced each party will pay its own costs of the litigation, estimated to total be tween SIOO,OOO and $200,000. Norwood Woman Weds For the Fourth Time. Norwood. Oct. 13.—Mrs. M. C. Morris, who has been making her home with her daughter here for some time, became the wife or Aiex Ferguson, of near Charlotte, on la*-t Sunday. This is Mrs. Morris fourth venture into the sea of matrimony. Two of her husbands proved un worthy of her. so she straightway di vorced them. Her first husband, Mr Morris, died, leaving her two en.i dren. She was so well satisfied wirh him and his ways that she ventured again and found this venture to her disliking. However, this did not faze her. so getting a divorce she tried it again and found that she had hit it worse than before. Evidently the courts ruled the same for she had no trouble in procuring another divorce. Evidently each man realized he was getting a treasure, for the divorces cut no ice with any of them. So she has entered the matrimonial state for the fourth time, and according to the way peop'e marry in these days she has a marriagable age to draw on yet. Mrs. Morris ]s an exceptionally fine woman, and the good wishes of the entire community go with her. Twenty-five years ago. when the automobile industry in Great Britain was in its infancy, the makers of motor cars had to test their engines with gasoline bought by the bottle . in drug stores —theonly place where it could be obtained. Remns Indicted. Cincinnati. Ohio, Oct. 14.— (A 3 ) Charging “deliberate and premeditated malice” the Hamilton County grand jury today indicted George Remus for first degree murder for shooting his wife to death In Eden Park here a weak ajrot Greatest Crowd In Local Fair’s History Attended Thursday;4o,ooo Counted Never Before in the Coun-j ty Has Such Crowd Met< For Any Event as Was at Grounds Thursday. BELIEVE CROWD STATE RECORD From All Parts of Cabar rus and Many Adjoining Counties Came Visitors to Create New Record. More than 40,000 people stampeded to the Fair Grounds Thursday for the largest single day and night attendance mark in the five-year history of the Fair Association. For Thursday was the day set aside for the sons, daughters, cousins, uncles and what have you, of Cabarrus. That they appreciated the honor is shown by the way in which they grasped the opportunity to help make it the biggest day in every way that any Cabarrus District Fair has ever known. | The city of Concord presented a funeral aspect Thursday afternoon. With few exceptions, all of the busi ness houses closed their doors at noon and the only action from that time on was caused by persons scurrying to and fro in preparing to join the vast throngs fairward. From mid-day until a late hour at night, two constant lines of au tomobiles pushed slowly, but none the less surely, toward the goal of the festivity seekers. Upon reaching it, they added their cars to the thousands already there. Perfect seas ,of black auto tops fur nished a circular background for the race track and midway during the day and a spectral border for the wealth of fireworks at night. From the looks of the parking grounds it seemed as if every person there must have owned a motor-driven vehicle. Early in the afternoon those in charge of the parking areas were in search of further space. Car after car was sytematically parked within the vast reserves of the grounds, but the incoming motorists were yelling for room and new areas had to be opeued for them. At night, when the fireworks were over and the free act troupes had cal ed it a day, there was a double line of cars moving restlessly toward the city for hours and it took some, persons more than an hour to co\er the distance. There was very little disorder or unnecessary congestion. It was‘just a case of more autos than road space and the vehicles were forced to move slowly. After a-rainy, muddy disagreeable Wednesday, which held the visitors to the fair to mere handfuls, the solar system opened out in all its glory Thursday. Shining resplendently and with water drying power, the sun quickly atoned for the damage done by its neighbor, the clouds, on the previous day, and by noon the surface was baked as hard as the daintiest foot could ask. The race track was in even better condition than on the opening day. Sun-dried and scraped, it presented a sure, fast footing for the trots and paces and was partially responsible for the excellent time made in the harness events during the afternoon. Failing to get into the stands be cause of its strange resemblance to a human sardine can. thousands hung over the fences surrounding the track, determined not to iniss a trick of the long and interesting program provided for them. Shouts of approval rolled high as the free acts were staged; swelling cries of the race lovers marked the termination of each heat. There were harness events of speed and endurance. Three Con cord men, J. F. Cannon, president of the Fair Association ; E. T. Cannon and M. F. Teeter had horses entered in the four races and each carried his part of the program in famtless style. The Creed stepped to victory for the J. F. Cannon stables in the sec ond event, the 2:10 pace, while both Bishop Baron and Maearoan Patch carried the colors of E. T. t annon to the winning post in the 2:20 trot and the 2:14 pace, respectively. Maearoan Patch won in straight heats, duplicat ing the performance of Bishop Baron in N the opening race of the Fair Tues day. While thousands watched the races and free acts, other thousands stayed in the exhibit halls and on the mid way. No lack of attendance was vis ible on the midway even while the races were going on and every attrac tion was well patronized, with the exciting game of “Bingo ' leading the other games of chance in general in terest. The exhibit halls were packed al most to the point of suffocation as the visitors gathered in them to ex amine the varied displays and the live stock.

SIMMONS RALLIES SMITH OPPONENTS Dry Forces Throughout Nation to Be Mobilized to Ho .id Off Governor's Booth. Washington, Oct. 14. —Group of southern senators led by F. M. Sim mons, of North Carolina, are prepar ing actively to combat the Smith for President movement. A program to defeat the New York governor for the nomination is being formulated. "Dry” forces of the country are to be mus tered into a militant army of anti- Smith workers. Senator Simmons has declined to elaborate a recent statement made by him from hie home in New Bern to the effect that the selection of Mr. Smith would break up the solidarity of the Southern Democracy, but at the prop er time he is going to state his posi tion fully. He has let his friends here know he will fight Governor Smith to the last ditch. He will con fer with other members of Congress from the South before outlining the reason for his opposition. On the other hand Senator Edwarde of New Jersey is lining up Smith sup porters to meet the attack of the southern dry group. "Whatever antagonism or ill-will which certain factions of the Demo cratic party hold against the now lead ing candiate of the party of Jeffer son for presidential honors in 1928,” said he. "should be forgotten and sub merged into a united and concerted drive to nominate and elect Governor Smith. No other candidate—wet, dry or indifferent —yet looms On the pol itical horizon who can command the confidence and the proven vote-getting qualities of the New York governor. "If Smith ie nominated and elected President, and the Vatican grips the Washington government (a truly pre posterous situation for human sanity to even contemplate) it will be be cause of too much Hefflinism and al leged bigotry and not too much Smith ifim.” Senator Edwards has picked Sena tor Walter F. George of Georgia to make the keynote speech of the next Democratic convention. He explained that it is not a Smith speech he wants, but one outlining the principles on which the party should base its cam paign. Opponents of Governor Smith have not been able to unite on any man to offer against him. Within a weeks they may be ready to promote a can didate. Most of the talk in the anti > Smith camp here is about Governor A. V. Donahey, of Ohio, who is handi capped by being so little known in the South. Several efforts of southern congressmen to start a boom in their districts for him have failed. The anti-Smith group in Congress , has become quite active during the last ten day*. It is be ieved Wil liam Gibbs McAdoo is engineering the move, for many of his stoutest sup porters in former contests are helping it along. It has been made clear here that the leaders of the Simmons group will use every resource at their command to block any Smith move ment in their respective states. KLAN LEADER IS ORDERED TO JAIL Held In Contempt When He Refuses to Testify In Alabama Flogging Trial. Lnverne, Ala., Oct. 13. —Cecil Davis, of Birmingham, said to be former Grand Titan of the southern province of the K. K. K., was to five days in the county jail by Judge A. E. Gamble today for contempt of court in refusing to answer questions of the grand jury investigating masked vio lence in Crenshaw county. The questions which Davie refused to answer, it is said, related to the membership of Ira Thompson, a wit ness in the flogging investigation, in the Luverne K avern of the Klan. Davis told Judge Gamble that he refused to answer the questions be cause he had "taken a prior oath” obligating himself not to answer them. Jamee Esdale, grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama, will be questioned tomorrow by the grand jury. This was learned today when the Klan head returning to Birming ham after a trip outside of the stato wired Attorney General Charlie C. McCall that he had just learned of the summons for him and would pre sent himself before the grand jury if he was wanted. Mr. McCall immediately telgraphed Esdale to report tomorrow "if pos sible.” The attorney general has not indicated in what connection the Klan head will be questioned. This fact, coupled with the recall today of George H.
