Carolina & Florida Will Meet Saturday In Football Contest Florida Expected To Bring Strong To—fcgo Milm 3M Fur Win Over Carolina. Chapel Hill, Nov. 1.—The Carolina football team, which defeated State 13-0 last Saturday, is to meet the flashy team from the University of Florida In Kenan Stadium here Fri day afternoon at 2:30 o’clock in what promises to be one of the best games of the season on Tar Heel soil. The fact that Georgia, whom the Tar Heels tied 6-6, licked Florida last week 33 to 12, coupled with the fact that State College the week before had beaten Florida by a 10-point mar gin, has served to give Carolina sup porters considerable hope for an other victory Saturday. But Coach Collins has warned the boys of danger from a possible let down. Any let-down in physical fitness or morale could easily prove disastrous right now, he has told the players. The Florida game is really causing the Carolina coaches considerable worry. j The Carolina scouts, who saw Florida play Georgia last week, brought back the inside dope that five of Florida’s best players, who were benched in the Georgia-Florida game for previous infraction of rules, has been reinstated and would be used against Carolina this week. These players were Tommy Lane, “Pug” Bryan, and A1 Osgood, guards, and two backs, A1 Rogero and Jimmy Dorsett. Rogero is remembered as: the big boy who ran wild against, State in the Raleigh game last year, i Last year the Tar Heels and Gators played to a tie. Which indicates this year’s game ought to be pretty close. The tickets are selling for $1.65, in cluding the tax.

Senator Carter Glass, of Virginia, in his first speech of the campaign, on Tuesday night, said that President i Hoover submitted to the last Congress ; “inflationary proposals that would have rocked the foundations of our banking system.” Of the inflationary proposals which he attributed to the President, he said that if they had been enacted, they would “not only have tempted for eign raids on our gold reserves, but would have incited a dangerous do mestic demand for redemption.” i “Had these proposals 'been adopt I ed,” he said, “they would have made j millions of dollars of foreign securi ties with which this country was de luged by administration connivance a basis for tremendous credit ex-, pansion.” :i Referring to President HooverV statement that the United States was within two weeks of being driven off the gold standard last winter, he said if this was true, administration leaders "were guilty of amazing dis honesty’’ in failing “so to advise the [banks and private investors.” During I the period from Jan uary 1 to June j 30, he said, the Treasury, with the j President’s approval, sold $3,709, 1213,450 of Treasury notes and certif | icates of indebtedness redeemable in ! gold.

Franklinville, Oct. 81.—Misses Net-j tie and Esther Moon entertained the j members of the Y. W. A. of the' Franklinville Baptist church at a Hallowe’en party Friday evening. Ghosts wer stationed at various plac es on the lawn weiredly directing the guests to the entrance. The witches’ den was the first interesting place visited, where each guest was told j her future destiny. Games and con- ' tests were enjoyed throughout the j evening. Misses Dorothy Liles and i Edith Martin, winners in the contests, were presented attractive prizes. The guests were invited to the dining room where they were served assort ed sandwiches, coffee and cake. On leaving, miniature witches were pre sented as favors.

(Please turn to page 4) Governor Gardner’s Son Plays Center On Carolina’s Ball Team ■'> ■ * ' ■ The many people from Randolph who witnessed State College’s football team’s first defeat of the season to U. N. C. Saturday, were delighted with the game. The score 13-0 would indicate a somewhat slow game, but it was not won without a fight and there was plenty of action. Governor Gardner’s son, Ralph, playing center for the university against his old foe in high school games, Red Espey, turned in a good Saturday of abbreviated day’s work. Espey and young Gardner played against each other when Hickory and Shelby matched. The State center is somewhat older than his admiring ri val and in the high school conflicts gave the governor’s son an awfully disagreeable time. The playing at Woodberry Forest, on the Carolina freshman team, and the subbing at center this fall for the varsity, have done the boy a great turn. He hand led ; himself nicely against Captain Espey Saturday and it would appear that Coach Collins need not worry further about centers for 1932, 1933 or even 1934. Thieves Made Raid ' On Cox’s Store At Pisgah Tues. A. M. Thieves broke into S. A. Cox’s store at Pisgah early Tuesday morning dur ing the heavy rain at that time and carried, away goods valued at from $200 to $250. Entrance was made through! a small window in the shed adjoining the store, the main building then entered and the back door thrown* open. Previous attempts to drill through the back door had fail ed. Goods were then carried out the back door, several yards distant and loaded in a car which( the thieves used to haul the goods away. Included in the loot were a large quantity of sugar, hats, shoes, clothing and tobac co. Thorns Enjoyed Story On Morocco Found In Last Week’s Courier Frederick Thorns, of New York City, has been the guest of his sis ters, Mrs. W. H. Moring and Miss Julia Thoms, for the past few days. While in Asheboro, Mr. Thoms call ed at The Courier office and readied with pride that as a boy he worked with The Courier and continues to read it He was interested especially in an article in last week’s paper on Morocco and spoke interestingly of a visit he had made there. Mr. Thorns said that in many places he saw I on farms a mule and oxen or an oxen and a woman pulling a plow and that one town which they visited had only been open a year and that it was con sidered one of the most primitive towns in the world and was reported to have been-founded by a son of Noah. The production of an average of 20 bushels of badey an acre in Clay county last season has led to in creased plantings over the county this fail, says the farm agent.

Big1 Political Rally Held At Thomasville; Reynolds Is Speaker Bob Reynolds And Congressman Lambeth Share Honors In Davidson Demonstration. Thomasville and Lexington staged a big Reynolds-Lambeth rally Mon day evening. Automobiles, decorated for the occasion with striking ban ners, paraded both towns in the after noon and escorted Robert R. Rey nolds (Bob) and Hon. Walter Lam beth, congressman from the eighth district, from Lexington to Thomas ville to the auditorium at Thomasville, where the speaking was held. The event was a joint honor to Congress man Lambeth and to Senator-elect Reynolds, •iv-r - Mr. Lambeth spoke first after be ing given a handsome ovation by his townsmen. “The issue of November 8 is," said Mr. Lambeth, “whether we shall have four years more of the Herbert Hoover government,” and from that point Mr. Lambeth went through the acts of the national Republican ad ministration pointing to the result of each in bringing the country to its present so-called economic crisis. Done with a few minutes of cam paigning, Mr. Lambeth graciously turned the platform over to Mr. I Reynolds, who for an hour and a half regaled his audience with alleged Re publican misdeeds and a promise of prosperity by the time he returns from the senate in 1938 for his cam paign for re-election. “Mr. Roosevelt is our sort of a man,” Mr. Reynolds confidentially told his audience and indorsed the Democratic national ticket. “He speaks our language and is just as plain as an old shoe,” was the further description of the pres idential candidate by Mr. Reynolds, who recently spent some time with the Roosevelt party. The speaker was wound up on economic problems. The liquor ques tion he disposed of in less than fifty words, said in shorter time than a minute. “The Democratic party, as Republi can leaders well know, despite what they say, is opposed to the return of the old saloon. The Democratic par ty stands for temperance and sobrie ty.” “And besides that,” said Mr. Reynolds, “people of North Carolina know that if liquor is brought back in this state, the people themselves will pass on it.” Mrs. Russell Parks, chairman of Red Cross, urges every one in the county to join the Red Cross. Roll call will begin November 11 and close November 24, Thanksgiving day. Randolph’s quota is 1,080 and it is hoped that the enrollment will be more than 100 per cent, as one-half of the money will be retained in the county for relief or health work. Mrs. Parks will announce committees for the county in next week’s Courier; in meantime she will be glad to have volunteer workers. E. E. Bell and J. M.

In ad dition to the Randolph ticket and the several state officers present, Ryan McBride, of Hoke, from the 12th senatorial district, attended. Tyre Taylor, invited to attend, wired regrets Friday and in his place Hon. A. J. Maxwell, of Raleigh, made a brief talk which was greeted with hearty applause. Mr. Maxwell took, the opportunity to thank Ms friends in Randolph for their support in the primary and urged that they now turn their full support and loyalty toward his former opponent, .Hon. J C. B. Ehringhaus, democratic candi date for governor. Mr. Maxwell stated that he saw in the movement of the youth of the democratic party, a sign of future victory for the party and gave his opinion that the nsnlt. of the November election would be partly due to their efforts. In the few minutes Mr. Maxwell spoke. Jus pointed out several good points in Governor Gardner’s regime that stand out in sharp contrast with the nation al policies, lauding Mr. Gardneri “live at home program” and economy.. He pointed out that under FresMfenfc Hoover, the national debt baa fa creased 28 per cent and that the drip debt has increased 30 per eenfc “President Hoover began Ms ad ministration by using all the power and prestige of his office to praarie an extravagance of speculation and spending, public and private, that wa* a primary cause of the collapse af October, 1929. Governor Gardner from the beginning of his adminis tration preached a gospel of con servatism and caution in public and private spending. “Six weeks after the collapse of 1929 President Hoover recommended to the Congress an increase of $400, 000,000 in spending by the Federal government. Four months before' this collapse Governor Gardner re duced the spending of our State gov ernment $1,450,000 and eight month* after the collapse made an additional cut of $2,100,000. “President Hoover increased the expenses of the Federal governmeari 28 per cent.
