Lawyer Predicts f Democratic Win SSgwcs Democrats Start Out With 135 Electoral Votes; Others In Sight. Outlook Is Hopeful 1930 Election Figures Indicate Many Close States Will Go Democratic This Year. James H. Pou, Raleigh lawyer, Acdter-in-law of Senator Bailey and lrntfamd of Annie Walker Pou, who W bora and reared in Asheboro, pre carte national Democratic victory, re ports W. T. Dost, who says: R. Poo, Raleigh lawyer who >»mh« -more about what goes on in -world than anybody in it, thinks the Democrats have a fine chance to oury the national election five weeks from next Tuesday, reports W. T. Best. Mr. IVo feri't very dogmatic about politics. Wien he became 50 years uW July 23,1911, he uttered the con viction that people ought to tell the troth when they reach his age. That «ost hko some of his partisan fervor, Hut it helped immensely his power I to {ACtosophize. He has been guess ing at elections 40 years. Eleven times he has picked the president and m&sed but once. That failure was tSee Wilson efectio-n of 1916. He remembers every presidential poll ftw* up. One suspects that he even recalls 1864, though he was only three years old then. He was bora July 21, 1861, the battle hour ■of the first Bull Run. If there is any significance in his birth under two yrestd-wats, Jefferson Davis and Abra ham Lincoln, it lies in the catholicity erf his nund and its ability to see all angles of analysis. Raleigh people do not associate him with youth. He aetsns always to have had a grown up intellect. He recalls well, because be .attended, the Seymour-Blair parade j in Raleigh in 1868. It is not written j that he guessed at that election; but | it is recorded that he never lost an election bet, and he must have known that Grant would win. 3lr. Paw doesn't actually plunge hiemually into election prophecies. With the lawyer’s habit of mind, he .^todies both sides of his case. He ■does mst rely on his “hunches.” He ."goes through the electoral college. He recently made his study in that in stitution, and these are his con clusums: Bow He Figures It “T3iCT6 are 531 votes in the various states,and 266 are required for a ma jority. The Democrats are certain of tfafe votes of Virginia, Tennessee, Xrkausas, Oklahoma and all the states wroth and southeast of them. TSas tk Democrats start with 135 xTh*P iwqaires the Democrats to ob teda IB votes from the balance of the MBua,itat is to say, to get 131 of the WBadBfeg 296, if we elect our candi date. }f vre consider the presidential ■jWtimc since 1916, it would appear that -the Republicans have a great ad far they have carried nearly «0 uf 11mm i states since 1916 at every atectisa. On the other hand, if we ynaiArr the elections since 1930 the advantage seems with the Democrats, Sir they ■carried most of these states and i* some of them our majorities have been huge. In New York we elected Roosevelt governor by more than TtUMO® and in Illinois Senator Lewis hy more than 700,000. In New Jersey we wverwhelminglv elected the ->MK£e*cwr to Senator Morrow, and we made almost a clean sweep in In diana. The Democrats captured the state rffieers in Ohio and elected a senator in Massachusetts. If the elec ■bonp of the past two years, and par ticularly- the special elections, have any Significance, it would seem that vt shall carry the necessary states much trouble.” Keep The Pastures Clean Of Weeds And improve Quality Milk 'termers wfi can 1 rho are selling milk me induction per cow and im : the quality of milk produced by free of weeds during and fall months, States 31.

Foster, Communist candidate for President (at left) and lames W. Ford, (negro), Vice-Presidential candidate, are fighting for a place on the North Carolina ticket in the November elections. Determined efforts are being1 made by a communist group in this state to have the names of its presidential electors printed on the official North ; Carolina ballot to be vised in the gen-, era! election of November 8th. The first legal skirmish was lost by the communists on September 16th, in Raleigh, when Judge N. A. Sinclair denied a plea for a writ of mandamus to force the state board of elections to place the names of the communist electors on the ticket. The state board of elections has taken the position that names of electors other than those of the Democratic and Re publican parties will not be printed on the ballot unless lists of candidates of other political parties are accom panied by declarations signed by 10, 000 voters of the state certifying that the reputed parties are such. It is understood that the communist organization intends to carry the fight to the supreme court and J. Frank Flowers, Charlotte lawyer, at torney for A. W. Keller and others of Charlotte, said to be candidates on the communist ticket, are awaiting in- , structions from the group to fake the case before that body. The communist national ticket is headed by William Z. Foster, of New York City, secretary of the Unity League, candidate for president of the United States and James Ford, negro, of Pratt City, Ala., candidate for vice-president. Foster was ar rested in Kansas for burning the wheat fields to shorten the food sup ply in order to handicap the American forces in France during the World War. At that time he was a high official of the I. W. W. Ford is said to have been very active in aiding in the defense of the nine negroes ar rested at Scottsboro, Ala., and con victed of the rape of two white girls for which they have been sentenced to execution. They are now in Kilby Prison at Montgomery, Ala. The American Civil Liberties Union, an organization affiliated with the com- i munist party, it is reported, has raised $180,000 to fight the death sentence. The creed of the com munist party its: “No God, No Coun try, Social Equality.”—Jeff Palmer, Charlotte, N. C.

Washington, Oct. 1—New York state steps out into the forefront of reforestation, probably setting a world’s record for state planting of trees in one year—22.000,000—and certainly setting a splendid example to other states depleted of life-giving forests, according to a bulletin issued by the American Game Association on the eve of state inspection tours of the reforested areas beginning Sep tember 23, by the Conservation De partment. The planting of 22,000,000 trees on 27,000 acres by the state is exclusive of any trees planted by counties, cities, water districts and private conservationists, all of whom obtained their trees from the Conservation De partment nurseries, officials of the conservation department said. - “The purpose of these tours is to inform the public of the methods used by the state in reforesting not only its own forest preserve but the new areas recently purchased under the Reforestation Amendment to the Con stitution, whereby upwards of a mil lion acres at abandoned farm land are to be planted with trees over a period of fourteen years. States are coming to realise thst forests are necessary to life os weH as to industry, according to expres sions from many of them. Forests, aside from their timber value, are necessary to water-sheds, to the pre vention of erosion, the prevention or ntafufing of floods; they are a source of raising underground water tables which agriculture depends prin r, they serve ss environment to apecies, chiefly insectivorous birds that destroy insects point.*.'" ”* «*_-- SummMl u.

Silver chloride mixed with potter’s clay and baked at a high temperature is employed as a filtering medium, says Popular Mechanics Magazine, and it has been found that water passing through such a tllter has the property of killing typhoid and other germs, while itself containing no silver. Previooa researches had demon strated that, if silver Is to sterilize ef fectively. It must have enormous sur face.

Spread of Volcanic Dual In the summer of 1883 an eruption occurred on the small volcanic island of Krakatoa, in the Sundu strait, whose effects were far-reaching. The finer particles of the volcanic dust, at taining the higher layers of the at mosphere, were ditiiused over a large part of the surface of the earth. With in the tropics they were borne along by air currents at a rate of 73 miles an hour from east to west, until with in a period of six weeks they were dif fused over nearly the whole space be tween latitudes 30 degrees north and 43 degrees south. Eventually they spread northward and southward and were carried over North and South America, Europe, Asia, South Africa and Australia. “Water Sails’* underside and buoyed at the aurfaee of the water, it furnishes a wide ex panse of vertical surface to the cur rent.

Weighted on its Party As Friend American Negro Right Of Liberty, Justice And Equal Opportunity Is Theirs, He Teds Them. Negroes Pay Visit To Get Reassurance Fran The President That Party Still Looks After Interests. Saturday, Oct 1st—Upon White House steps, a delegation of more than 150 negro voters asked of Presi dent Hoover and received from him a declaration that “the right of lib erty, justice and equal opportunity is yours.” Standing with head uncovered un der a warm sun, the President, from the elevation of a curving stairway leading down from the south portico, told the negro delegates gathered in a semi-circle below him that hte.de sirnl to carry on the Republican traditions of Abraham Lincoln. “You may rest assured,” he said, “that our party will not abandon or depart from its traditional duty to ward the American negro. I shall sustain this pledge given in the first instance by the immortal Lincoln and transmitted by him to ^ those who followed as a sacred trust.” The Chief Executive’s statement was in reply to three addresses by negro spokesmen who said they came as a joint national planning committee gathered from more than 20 states to get out the presidential vote of their race. One after an other they stepped into a cleared circle to speak. Roscoe Conklin Simmons, of Chi lCago, Negro orator, who seconded the renomination of the President at Chicago convention, spoke first and longest. He gestured frequently to ward the President, who stood silent but intent a few feet above him. “We have been told, Mr. Presi dent,” Simmons said, “that our party has deserted the old faith. We are tongue cursed by a thoughtless few because we hold that although Abra ham Lincoln is dead he still lives. Some few have gone so far as to say that you do not believe in human equality. We protested and arose to seek you. We are here to repledge our fealty. “Distress has overtaken us. We come to you in our heaviest hour. It has been charged that the party has deserted the principles that sustained it. And yet, Mr. President, we are here to bespeak you to remain strong to acquit yourself as our leader. We ask no higher honor than to be per mitted to help save the nation and again go forward under your leader ship. , . “Speak, Mr. President, speak and say that there is no higher faith than CALL 220 “One Call Does It All” Ingram-Garner Co.

It pledges itself-to the continued in sistence upon his rights."
