Unfair And Dangerous Says North Carolina Senator And His Purpose Is To Pro mote Fight Against Bill. The Conner publishes the following authorized statement made to its Washington representative: In discussing his. refently published tariff statement, Senator Simmons said that his views with reference to the tariff and his aggressive opposi tion to the pending tariff bill were generally known, and that the state newspaper discussion end speculation, was in line with his well known views upon the tariff and the pending bill. He said that in giving the statement to Mr. Michaelson, who himself ex pressed strong opposition to the bill, he had no purpose other than to pro mote the fight against a bill which he considered discriminatory, unfair and dangerous. The Senator denied emphatically that his statement, or the maimer of giving it to the press, had any connec tion whatever with the controversy within the Democratic party over the control of its national organization, and said that he thought he had made this clear in his conversation with Mr. Michaelson just before dictating the statement. The Senator said that his own well known views upon the tariff were not the views known to be entertained by Mr. Raskob upon that subject or the views expressed by Governor Smith In his campaign speeches last year. Mr. Simmons said that he waq, there fore, gratified to find the Washington Democratic Headquarters supporting the views that he himself entertains upon this subject, and he added, that [f there had been any change or sur render of views on this question, such change or surrender had not been on liis part but on the part of others. Referring to recent newspaper spec ulations with reference to the signifi cance, in the circumstances, of his statement, the Senator said that there Itad not been and would not be any statement in Ids contention and insis tence that the control and domination of the national organisation of the Democratic Party by Raskob, Tam (Please tan to page 4) Mr. T.

Assailant Misses Mark Second Time Within Recent Months Chief Myers Has Been Target. Chief C. W. Myers, of Randleman, was again the target for a shooting affair which makes the second time within a little more than a year. This time the man missed his mark, in stead of painfully wounding the chief, as was the case before. On Saturday night around ten o’clock he had gone into the small wooden building used as a city hall to write a tax receipt when several shots from the outside were directed at him through the open door. Chief Myers turned and re turned twb shots, but apparently did not hit the person, as escape was ef fected in spite of bloodhounds and the sheriff and his deputies from Ashe boro rushing to the scene of the shoot ing. Sunday night Joe Connor was ar rested drunk, and held in Asheboro in jail on suspicion until he "sobered up" Monday afternoon. The officers then satisfied themselves that Connor was drunk when he was reported to have been talking about being shot at by tiie officers, but it was true that a rural policeman seized his car con taining whiskey Saturday night, Con-, nor himself escaping. When learning; | Monday afternoon that he was under suspicion, Connor sent for adequate witness who testified to his where abouts at the time of the shooting. Chief Myers asserts that he has further suspicions and that he expects to make a thorough investigation and will perhaps at an early date make an other arrest. No reason for the shoot ing can be accounted for by the Chief. Sheriff Ben Millikan Holds Meeting Of His Deputies Saturday ^ __ ij" *of Randolph, held a ■heating’ of the deputies under him on Saturday afternoon. This meeting, which is an innovation for Randolph, was held at the Sheriff’s of fice' for the purpose of discussing the work, and outlining plans for law en forcement. Those present were: Solomon Ar thur, Central Falls; C. E. Henson, Franklinville; J. R. Trotter, New Mar ket; W. M. Stout, Grant; J. M. Spen cer, New Market; J-. F. Black, Trinity; T. A. Brookshire, Asheboro; E. S. Powers, Pleasant Grove; H. D. Smith, Seagrove; W. C. Robins, Asheboro; T. E. Cox, Coleridge ; ’ C. M. Wells, Trin ity; E. F. Clarke, Randleman; B. G. Frazier, Ramseur; J. P. Lineberry, Providence; J. B. Lanier, New Hope; J. L. Hinshaw, Liberty; Roy Routh, Providence; B. E. Swaney, Tabernacle. The force was organized, and prob lems discussed which will doubtless prove beneficial. It is understood that a like meeting will be called by the Sheriff at intervals during his term, perhaps every month. AUTHORITIES SEARCHING FOR MISS HOHN MOORE, 19 Authorities are now searching for Miss Hohn Lula Moore, 19, of Liberty, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Moore, who has been missing since she left a dance at Kimesville with stranger last Saturday night. The search was insti tuted *t the request of the parents of the girl, who became alarmed over her disappearance. Some young peo ple who attended the dance told the parents that a stranger introduced himself to the girl as Janosld, 'Duke University football star, but students of that school say it was not Janoski. After several dances, Miss Moore left dance hall with the man and step ped into a waiting automobile. On Monday Mr. Moore received a tele gram supposedly from his daughter dated from Greensboro saying they were visiting Coach Doak and wife of Guilford College. Upon further in vestigation the plot thickened when it was nnow to the father that not only was Doali single, but he has had no visitor recently. Mr. Moore examined the original writing of the telegram which he believes to be that of his daughter, but fears that she was co erced into writing the message. The Moore family are all well known in Asheboro, having lived on Cog street for many years, while Mr. Moore held a position as a prohibition officer. ■ i CONSIDERABLE COMPLAINT CONCERNING DOGS AT LARGE There has been considerable com plaint from the citizens of Asheboro about dogs running loose in the town until the Mayor has issued orders that thb police of the town enforce the law rigidly concerning the canines.

Dr. C. H. Phillips Commends Craven’s Stand On Bonds In Letter, Adds That No One Living Will Ever See Randolph In Good Shape Financially. Thomasville, N. C. July 12, 1829 Editor Courier, Asheboro, N. C.: I notice in your paper a protest against all other bond issues in Ran dolph county by Major Bruce Craven, of Trinity. I write to endorse all Mr. Craven has to say in the matter. I am glad there is one man in the county who has the nerve to raise his voice against continuously going deeper in debt in Randolph. Randolph county is hopelessly in debt now, and there isn’t anyone living who will ever see it in a good financial condition again, and I think it is high time the board of county commissioners should look about for ways and means to reduce the county debt, instead of issuing more bonds without the hope ever of seeing them paid off. I want to thank and congratulate M- L. Wood and Mr. Hinshaw, two of the county commis sioners for their stand against this bond issue. Sincerely, C. H. PHILLIPS. Startling Figures ShowingProposed Tariff Duties On Oil {Given By Senator Tydings Of Maryland To The Finance Committee. Will Hurt Farmers By Adding $164,330,000 Per Year Increased Cost To Oper ation Farm Machinery. Senator Tydings of Maryland put before the Finance Committee today some startling figures showing what the proposed tariff duties on oil would entail. He pointed out that there was con sumed in the United States 64,000,000 barrels of oil mote than we produce every year. “The effort” testified Senator Tydings, “now being made to place a tariff on oil of il a barrel represents greed gone.jpad, It Hlua ttates how law-making can be used to pxtort money from the people.” He presented that there were on the farms of the United States nearly five and a half million automobiles, trucks, tractors, etc. “An increased price, due to a tarai of 2c per gallon would mean an added cost to the farmers alone of $164,360, 000 per year in the operation of their farm machinery. The cost of his elec tricity for light and power would, likewise, be increased. The cost of building roads in rural communities also would be increased. If the tar iff raises the cost of gasoline 4c a gallon, the farmers would have to pay $328,730,320 per year more than they now pay for the operation of their motor vehicles. In other words, without considering his increase in taxes due to increased cost of road construction, increased cost of light, heat and power, a 4c tariff per gallon on gasoline would take from the farmer’s pocket each year approximately the same amount of money appropriated by Congress for farm relief last spring. Consid ering that this Congress was called primarily to help the farmer, this proposed tariff on gasoline is one of the most ridiculous propositions ever considered. It promises to increase the farmer’s living cost one half bil jlion dollars per year. “It takes ages to create an oil sup ply and we are draining our oil sup ply at an alarming rate. When itiis gone, it is gone practically for &11 time. A sensible country, instead df (Please turn to page 4) Got. Gardner Addresses Governors Governor O.
