Young Democrats
Of District To
Gather Saturday
Banquet, Address By Thad Eure
And Dance, To Feature Dis
trict Meeting Here
BIRTHS
Interest continues to grow Jn 11th
district rally of the Young Demo
crats, wnicn win De neld here on
Saturday. An address by Thad Eure,
Secretary of State, of Raleigh, will
be one of the features of the pro
gram, ana promises to attract a
large number of the Young Demo
crats in the district. W. G. Byers,
chairman , Judge Sam M. Cathey, of
Asheville, and Bob Patton, of Frank
lin, form the program committee.
Those in charge of arrangements
are bending every effort to have rep
resentation from every county in the
district, and from present indications,
it is safe to predict that around two
hundred will be here to join in the
rally, which is being held in con
nection with similar rallies all over
North Carolina.
The rally starts with a banquet at
the Hotel Gordon, at 7:00 o'clock, at
which time, those attelding will have
the opportunity to hear a review of
the merits of accomplishment of the
Democratic party, and of the record
of good government under it regime.
While the rally is for the Young
Democrats and sponsored by them, it
is understood there will be many pres
ent among the older heads, that were
running things, and still have a hand
in affairs, when many of the high
ranking Young Democrats were babes
in arms.
The evening will close with a dance
in the new Armory building, music
to be furnished by Al Dunn and his
orchestra, of Asheville, and Sam
Queen and his famous Soco Gap
String Band. Dave Cabe, Sam Queen
and Elmer Osborne, of Canton, are
members of the dance committee,
who will see that everything goes off
to suit the ideas of the Young Dem
ocrats.
