Visitors Outgain Locals by Aerial Route But Lose, 8 to 0 The Hendersonville High Bear cats smashed out an 8-0 win over Forest City yesterday afternoon at the Blue Ridge field. Captain I Jimmy Gianakos blocking1 two kicks that resulted in a touchdown ami a safety. Getting off to a fast start, the fats pushed Forest City back on its heels and kept them there throughout the entire first quar ter. In the second quarter, after the locals had pushed well into Forest City territory, they lost the ball. Forest City attempted to kick out of danger but practically the entire Red and Black forward J wall wa» through. Gianakos block ed the kick and it was recovered on the nine-yard line. Jim Brown then sold out around right end and, aided by good blocking, crossed the line. The try for the extra point failed. Forest City opened up with a passing attack and was ripping off considerable gains when the half ended. They did not serious ly threaten in the first half. The second half opened with Forest City pushing into Bearcat territory. They lost the ball, how ever. and Brothers got nine yards around end and Yelton raced 23 off tackle to bring the locals out of the hole. After a punt, Forest City fumbled and Yelton recover ed on the Fore.st City 25. The Cats pushed to the 18 but lost the ball. On the attempted kick-out Gianak os, Teddy Miller and Page broke through, the kick was blocked and the ball rolled out of the end zone for a safety. Early in the fourth quarter For est City pushed to the Cats' 10 yard line, due mainly to a punt that sailed over Lampley's head for 60 yai'ds. A fumble lost the ball. With only a few minutes to play Forest City re-opened with a desperate passing attack. Turner intercepted a pass on the 38-yard line to stop the first drive. Brown kicked to the Forest City 19 and after two short gains on passes, Robert Brown intercepted another pass and ran it back to the 18 yard line. A spinner lost 10 yards but a pass to Brothers went to the five-yard line. Yelton went over but the Cats were called back and penalized 15 yards. Forest City opened a passing attack in the final minutes that rolled up three first downs but they could get no farther than mid-field before the final whistle blew. The visitors out-gained the Cats, due mainly to their passing attack, but not on running plays. It was principally a kicking game, Hendersonville kicking 12 times and Forest City eight. Ayers got off some beautiful kicks, outdis tancing Brothers and Brown, but had two kicks blocked. Forest City also fumbled often, losing the bail {Continued on naee three) 5 The largest crowd of the week began pouring into the Henderson county fairgrounds this afternoon as the first annual event on an extensive scale neared its close.

On Tuesday this local couple refused to go through with the wedding, and as the show couple had want ed to be married several weeks ago, they were given the oppor tunity to take the place of the (Continued on page six) State Will Hard-Surface Fruitland Road To Chimney Rock Highway Hard surfacing of the Fruit land road from Uno on the Chim ney Rock highway to a point yet to be determined is promised by Charles Ross, general counsel of the state highway and public works commission in a letter to T. L. Durham, chairman of the board of county commissioners. While the improvement cannot be made this fall, Mr. Ross said, this road is being put in the state's program and federal funds are being set up for its comple tion in the spring as details can be worked out and the weather permits. In a recent trip to Raleigh, Mr. Durham insisted that the road be hard-surfaced from Uno through Fruitland and Mills Gap back into highway No. 28 at Edneyville, but he has not been advised WhetTier the project will be undertaken this time farther than Fruitland. Mr. Durham also urged the hard .surfacing of the North Mills River road from highway No. 191 up to the government line, a distance of about five miles, and of the Crab Creek road as far out as it is rocked. The Fruitland road project has been estimated to cost from $15, 000 to $30,000, depending on the mileage approved for hard-surfac ing by the state commission. Con cerning this project, Mr. Ross wrote: "Answering your inquiry with Teference to the completion of the Fruitland road, in which you have been so much interested and which Mr. Jeffress promised you some time ago, I wish to advise that while we have hot been able to get work on this road advanced (Continued on page three) , Doris Duke Helps Open Club Doris Duke, whose matrimonial phospects keep society talking, is shown here at the opening of a New York night club af, a table with Count Rene de Chambrun (right). LAVISH RELIEF! SPENDING ENDS Hollowell Says Public Finds It Hard to Under stand New Situation By NOAH HOLLOWELL County Relief Administrator The public and especially some of our former relief cases find it difficult to grasp the idea that the relief "Santa Claus" is dead. They confuse the present day orderly relief with the confusing days of the CWA when money was lav ishly spent. The recent reduction of the relief load did not convince some of the fact that further aid was not to be had in this office. At one stroke it was necessary to remove 21G white and 50 colored families from the relief roll on September 2G. These all lived in rural districts. Some of the poli ticians are being concerned about this and instead of the old form of "boning" a politician for a job at the poll because of reputed in I fluence in vote winning, they are j [now asking the politician for a seat at the relief counter. Our appropriation for relief and administrative purposes has been reduced from $10,000 a month in I July to $4,500 in October. There is now left on the relief roll only 110 families in which there is a male employable 10 years or over. There are 152 fam ilies w'th no employables, making a total of 262 families now on re lief. During the peak load of the summer's work, 723 families were helped in one way or another. Some requested only a few seeds and a little fertilizer. Some undeserving cases were probably helped, and there may be some now receiving aid to whom it should not be extended. Employes of the office will very much appreciate having in formation about those now on re lief who refuse employment at current wages. More individual attention will be given to each case and when citizens are interviewed for in formation. we trust that it will be given freely. The type of work the office is doing now requires move investigation outside of the fam ily than inside of it. Too many people are inclined to conceal their own resources in order to obtain relief aid. This is what we are now trying to discover. Relief is now being reduced somewhat to the old time system of relief to those who are directly in need and would suffer without aid. The policies followed by Hen derson county are state-wide and the relief load is being greatly re duced in both state and nation. FLOYD ESCAPES JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Oct. 12.—(UP).—State highway pa trolmen today were ordered to return to their posts after Chas. (Pretty Boy) Floyd had eluded a) wide search. It was believed thatj Floyd escaped into Oklahoma j after he had appeared in several places in Missouri yesterday. RAIN ALREADY OVER NORMAL Total of 4.50 Inches, How ever, Is Fraction of Fall Elsewhere The mean temperature for ti:e month to date is more than five degrees above the October nor mal; the precipitation, with 19 days still to go, is already in ex cess of the normal precipitation for the whole month, T. W. Val entine, U. S. weather observer, said today. The total rainfall to date, 4.50 inches, occurred in two rains; one of these, on the .5th and 6th, showed 2.50 inches; the other, on the 10th and 11th, showed two inches. These totals, though heavy, are by no means uncom mon; and they appear trivial when compared with the terrific rains reported from points fur ther south, such as Pensacola, which was submerged under a 16 inch rainfall in 24 hours. The heaviest rain ever record ed in Hendersonville in 24 hours was 9.88 inches (in July, 1916).' That rain caused actually less in convenience than a three-inch rain would cause in Pensacola, the reason being that the contour I here affords a very rapid run-off.

Britt, former congressman and outstanding- Republican speak er, opened the Republican cam paign for this county Friday night at the courthouse with an ad dress on the national political situation before a large gather ing. Mr. Britt came at the invitation of Brownlow Jackson, chairman of the district congressional ex ecutive committee. Frank Waldrop> county Repub lican chariman convened the meeting. Mr. Britt, who had not been a political speaker here in approximately 15 years, was in troduced by C. F. Toms, local at torney and well known Republi can. "We are in national danger," the speaker declared at the outset of his discussion of the national po litical situation—"in danger of losing our constitution, our liber ties for which our forefathers struggled so hard and whose struggles were crowned with vic tory." He described the original gov ernment which finally included the 48 states, and explained that a sovereign state is a state en dowed with all the powers and given rights to do all the things that a state can do. These pow ers have been retained from the first founding of the republic, when there were but 13 colonies to form the first original 13 states. He reviewed the growth of statehood since the War Be tween the States and showed that after the conflict the original state's rites had remained, and declared that both Republican and Democratic administrations during that period had adhered to the sovereignty of the state. "But now," he declared, "we have an administration which turns its back upon the old ways, and is seeking to pull down in a large measure the cornerstone of the nation and build a new order on the remains of the old founda tion. "All power is centered in Wash ington today," he continued. "All the interests of the nation are centered there. We have changed from a Democratic-Republican government to a bureaucracy, with isolated brain trusters work ing here and there. Today, the government of the United States is as centralized a form of gov ernment as we have on the fact> of the earth. The Democrats have always contended that the minor ity has the right to criticise. But now they say that the minority has no right to criticise. Strange and ugly epithets are applied to men who dare to criticise, and the (Continued on page six.) ROCKEFELLER LEAVES MILLIONS TO WIDOW GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 13.

All Europe Joins In Mourning Today For Martyred Minister Barthou Bv REYNOLDS PACKARD United Press Staff Correspondent PARIS, Oct. 12.—(UP).—All .Europe will join today in an in ternational tribute to Louis Bar | thou, martyred foreign minister of France. The French nation, with gallic emotion, will give the statesman the same splendid funeral accord ed its marshals, Foch and Joffre, and its great premier, Clemen ceau. •' Diplomats from Jugoslavia and Italy, from Belgium and Russia, from England and Roumania, will stand side bv side in the mourn ing party. The entire garrison of Paris, under command of General Gir aud, will pass in review before! his bier, and escort his body to the Pere Lachaise cemetery, for impressival burial. .] Dr. Rdouard Benes of Czecho- ] Slovakia, the'- foreign minister who : has worked closely with Barthou for European peace, will repre sent the League of nations as well as his own native land.

CRISIS SEQUEL TO MURDER OF LATE MINISTER International Repercus sions Still Feared as Slay ers' Ring Disclosed KING PETERENTERS HIS CAPITOL TODAY PARIS, Oct. 13.—(UP)—The entire French cabinet resigned af ter a tense meeting, to permit President Gaston Doumergue to reshape the government as he sees fit. The action was a gesture foU lowing the crisis caused by the assassination of Foreign Minister Louis Barthou Tuesday. PARIS, Oct. 13.—(UP).—One thousand police agents were .or dered today to hunt for mysteri ous Marie Vjoudroch, named as carrying the pistols to Aix en Province where she gave them to Petrus Kelmen for the assassina tion of King Alexander of Jugo slavia when the French foreign minister, Louis Barthoud was also killed at Marseilles on Tuesday. Police learned that the woman gave the pistols to Klemen six hours before the assassinations. Threat of international com plications grew when police an nounced that Wladislas, one of the two confessed' assassination plotters now held, admitted he is a member of a Croatian revolu tionary society. Police said the Dlotters intend ed to embroil all Europe in a quarrel in the interest of Croat ian independence from Jugoslavia. ASSASSINATION CINEMA STIRS SERB PASSIONS BELGRADE, Oct. 13.—-(UP). While public temper over the as sassination of King Alexander I appeared to have been somewhat allayed by French activity in dis missing "responsible police offi cers" and tracking down the as sassins, motion pictures of the Marseilles act again last night served to stir up Serbian passions. The Jugoslavian capital was un der firm control of the police, however, and demonstrations in other centers appeared to be burning themselves out. King Peter II, the little boy who is to rule over the nation under a regency headed by Prince Paul Karageorgevitch, arrived to day at 8:25 a. m., accompanied by his widowed mother, Queen Marie. The entire government wel comed the boy-king at the rail way station and once more pledged its feality, while the city, still in mourning for the dead king, salutes its new ruler. There was extreme nervousness in one section of Belgrade last night, where 30,000 Russian emi gres, driven out by the Bolshevik, have lived happily since the Com munist revolution. A hint that the new government may now recognize the Soviets and create a reapprochment, was unwelcome news to them, and may bring about an exodus to a new land. It was recalled that Alexander himself, who spent some time in Russia, always entertained a sen timental attachment for the land of the Tsars. The first. motion pictures of the assassination arrived yester day and were shown in Belgrade theatres to tense audiences. Spec tators excitedly pointed to what they called the "lack of police protection" for their king, and shouted angry insults at France for "permitting" the murder. ■ 4 YOUNG KING SURPRISED AT HONORS SHOWN HIM ASSLING, Jugoslavia, Oct. 13. (UP).—Eleven-year-old King Pe ter, who succeeded to the throne of Jugoslavia through the assas sination of his father, arrived in the country which he now rules at 8:30 o'clock last night. The boy-monarch, accompanied by his mother, and his maternal grandmother, Queen Marie of Ru mania, crossed the Austrian fron tier into Jugoslavian territory by train. Hundreds of peasant* gathered at the station here to see their new ruler's coach. The Burgo master of Awling personally greeted Peter, who seamed sur prised at all the attention paid to The royal train was scheduled to reach Belgrade at 8:30 a. m. The mayor of the capital met Peter and, as is customary, hand ed him a Bilver plate containing salt and bread. After that the boy was taken to the royal pal ace.
