About two years ago a bill was^passed in Congress authorizing the use of $15,000,000 for similar homes for disabled veterans. While several of these have been erected in various parts of the country, it has been determined by the Federal Board of Hospitalization that another is necessary to serve this southeast ern area, which includes practically all of the southern states. For this purpose, the board, has' been autho rized to appropriate $2,000,000 for the erection of this new home. The Asheboro Chamber of Com merce, upon hearing of this, took it up with Senator Overman and the late Congressman W. C, Hammer to determine just what was required and if the proposition was still open. Up on their advice that it was#not too late to get in a bid, the 'Chamber of Commerce immediately got in com munication with the Veteran’s Board at Washington in order to obtain a list of requirements for the site. It was learned that this site must be 200 acres or more in area, have fa cilities for a railroad siding, be near a fair Sized town, and be ahie to se cure service from good public utili ties. Realizing that such a site existed on the property of Mr. Thos. F. Wrenn, of High Point, an offer of donation of 200 acres of this land was procured from him, if the Federal Government will consider the location of the home on this- property. This tract of land is well located, lying about four miles north of Ashe Duncan Mu^t Have Gotten NameS'Mixed In Public Statement Raleigh, November 5.—“Now I can look a South Carolinian in the eye again,’* declared Mia.

Weather Report Shows October A Cqld, Dry Month That the month of October was a cold, dry month is readily seen by the monthly report of Rev. J. E. Pritchard, the official observer for the Weather Bureau. The mean tem perature for the month was 66.3 de crees as compared to a normal of 57.9, or one and six-tenth degrees be low normal.

O. 1\ Strongholds Fall Before Democrats. — Democrats Elect Ten Congressmen Every Congressional District In State Goes Democratic By Impressive Majorities. Late returns continue to bear evi dence of the tremendous Democra- - tic landslide in North Carolina in Tuesday’s election. Early returns showed a decided Democratic trend, but as the complete returns began coming in evidence was at hand that the victory for the Democrats had been even greater than the most optimistic had expected. >!■ With 1,312 of the 1,811 precincts in the State heard from, JoBiah Wil liam Bailey, Democratic nominee for / ; the United States Senate, leads hia opponent, George M. Pritchard, by 120,537 votes. The vote so far re ported is Bailey, 262,805; Pritchard, 142,268. Precincts late in reporting continue to swell the Bailey majority i and it is likely he will win by from * “ 125,000 to 130,000 votes, the largest. .■> majority ever given a North Carolina ii Democrat. Senator Simmons, whom Mr. Bailey defeated for the Democratic nomina- V tion, was elected in 1924 by a ma- V jority of 111,011 over A. A. White ner. The Democratic victory in the State was as smashing and conclu sive in the small rurai precincts as in the larger centers of population. It extended from the mountains to the sea, and the usually Republican western counties vieing with the us ually Democratic east in rolling up Democratic majorities from town ship constable to Senator. ' ; The Democrats have carried every , county in the State except Avery, Mitchell, Sampson, Wilkes and Yad kin, while in Wilkes a Democratic clerk of court and member of the general assembly has been elected. In Yadkin the results are in doubt as to the member of the general as sembly. In Randolph it appears Jhat a mixed ticket has bee* elected, -r - the Democrats carrying away the major portion of the offices. Congressmen Elected The Democratic landslide swept Charles M. Jonas from office irj the ninth and elected Major A. L. Bul winkle, Democrat, whom Jonas de feated in 1928. Although Jonas has not conceded Bulwinkle’s election, the Democrat is leading his opponent by more than 9,000 votes with only 40 small precincts to be heard from. These precincts do not have a vote all told of 9,000, so Bui winkle’s elec tion is a certainty, In the tenth district, represented by George M. Pritchard, former Con gressman Weaver defeated Brown low Jackson, Republican, by a ma- j ? i jority of 11,000. jMj Frank Hancock, Democrat in the fifth, was elected by more than 12, 000 majority, while Democrats were , easy winners in the first, second, i third, fourth, seventh and eighth dis tricts.
