A cloudburst in the Glenola sec tion, where five inches of rain was said to have fallen late Wednes day night, caused Caraway creek and Deep river, the streams most affected, to rise to such .great heights. It is agreed by all the older citizens that the rivers were the highest and most swollen in 25 years, and in some localities the highest in thirty or more years. Rural mail deliveries were hindered to a considerable extent throughout the county, though in most places the carriers goi through. On route two along I Caraway creek, however, service was cut off Thursday and Friday, Postmaster J. O. Redding said. County School Superintendent T. Fletcher Bulla stated that school busses were able to make their trips in practically every locality, though they were delayed and late in arriving. School at tendance was good considering the handicaps many of the children had to overcome to reach their schools. Deep river 'for its whole length in the county was turbulent, carry ing away many small bridges and flooding the adjoining country. Naturally, though, its force diminished as the distance from the origin of the heavy rain in creased, so that in the southwest ern part of the county it was not as violent as in the northeast. Caraway creek created havoc along its course. Reports indicate that the com croff in Gienoia suffered great damage. The dam at Troy Redding’s place burst, flood ing a large area. Dirt roads in many parts of the county were practically impassable Thursday and Friday. In the neighbrhood of the flooded rivers (Please turn to Page 6) Staley Faculty First To Record Education Asso.

Many Randolph Women Plan To Attend Women’s Rally In Raleigh Thursday Oet. 15 After the gathering of Demo cratic women held in the court house in Asheboro Friday evening with Mrs. J. B. Spillman, state vice chairman,, the chief speaker, the women of the county are thoroughly interested in the pre sent political situation in the state and nation. Mrs. Spillman made a very definite appeal to women as women to work as well as vote. In a speech that was far from the usual political discourse made by most speakers, she very quietly, but firmly, pointed out the line of duty and asked cooperation. Mrs. George Burkhead, county chairman of the women and vice chairman of the party, is quite j pleased with the response of this! meeting and is anxious for as, many women as possible to attend the state rally of Democratic wo men to be held in Raleigh on Thursday, October 15th.

WALLACE WINBORNE Opening Session Of Supreme Court Favors New Deal Refuses To Reconsider Deci sion Against N. Y. Mini mum Wage For Women Has 295 Appeals Percentage Of Requests Granted To Government Highest In Many Years The United States Supreme court met Monday for its first business of the term and getting down to work from the start acted on 205 appeals during the day. The most important decision of the tribunal came when it refused to review an appeal on its invali dation of the New York minimum wage law for women. The original decision last spring of the justices to invalidate this act was raised to first importance by President Roosevelt’s declaration that by it the court had created a no man’s land between the authority of the states and that of the federal government. The court voted to hear an appeal from a decision de claring a similar statute in the state of Washington constitutional. Jn the main other decisions were considered favorable to the Now Deal, and New Deal leaders ex pressed themselves as very well satisfied. The percentage of re quests granted in cases involving the government was the highest in many years. Major cases which had previously gone against the government and which the court will review are the public utility holding company act, the 50 per cent tax on silver profits, collective bargaining between railroads and their employees, an arms embargo to South American countries, transportation of prison-made goods into slates that forbid their sale, and a case involving the right to pay in the devalued currency when a lease called for gold. Of the 295 cases heard, the court agreed to review 57, declined to pass on 224, and refused 14 peti tions for reconsideration of last term’s decisions. k : i. VV ; > HON. CLYDE R. HOEY Labor Comes Out For Roosevelt In Nov’ber Election _. , Editor Of Labor News Has Favored President Roose velt All Along Likes New Deal Laboring Class Has Profited By Shorter Hours And Improved Wage Scale Up in Worcester, Massachusetts, the other day a reader of the Labor News noticed the strong pro-Itoosevelt sentiment of the paper. He decided to write to the editor about it. “I have always uiSJerstood,” he wrote, “that Labor was non-partisan and am of the opinion that a newspaper, which is supposed to be the mouthpiece of the local labor membership should carry out the policies enunciated by organized labor.” The editor of the Labor News lost no time in replying. “It is true,” he said, “That the Labor News has favored the presi dent and the New Deal in its edi torial columns and has criticized thit„$epublican candidates as well as newspaper correspondents for the vicious propaganda published in daily newspapers. “The writer is thoroughly sold on President Roosevelt and the New Deal believing that without it the people of the nation would be worse off than they were in those dread days of 1932 and 1933, when sixteen million people were unem ployed and business was on the verge of bankruptcy. “The writer is desirous of calling the attention of “Reader” to the fact that while the American Fed eration of Labor, as an organiza tion, has not indorsed the presi dent for re-election, national and international unions, state federa tions, central bodies and local unions throughout the nation have dong so and that hosts of presi dents and other high officials of international unions have done likewise. “These look upon the president as having done a good job, not only in having made it possible to earn wages on government, state and municipal projects, but that through the purchasing power of the vast army of more than three million workers, it was possible to so improve conditions in all branches of industry so that busi ness in all lines is rapidly reach ing normal conditions. “Do you wonder now, dear Read er, why the Labor News is partial to the election of President Roose velt and the continuation of the [ New Deal? The columns of the great majority of newspapers of any considerable importance have consolidated in an effort to poison the minds of their readers through vicious propaganda. It is therefore the mission of the independent newspapers, which have faith and confidence in the president, to spread the truth among the great (Please turn to Page 6) New Registration Rules And Laws In The Nov. Election E. H. Cranford, chairman of the Randolph county board of elec tions, has issued a statement for the benefit of those who arc not certain about the necessity for new registration after moving. A person who moves from one. township to another is not requir ed to obtain a certificate of re moval. However, anyone who moves from one voting precinct, or ward, to another within the same township must have a certificate of removal from the registrar of his former voting place and pre sent this when he applies for registration in his new precinct. With the election approaching rapidly, it would be well to attend to this matter promptly, especially as there are several townships in the county with more than one voting precinct.

Isom was', found on the Ashcboro-Randleman highway in front of the home of Clarence Hughes about 7:110 Sun day night in a semi-consc- • ions condition, his face covered with blood from a gash in his fore head. Isom was too dazed to recall just how he had been injured, but the evidence of those who found him point to his having been hit by an automobile which did not stop to aid him. J. T. King, manager of Jones 1c to $5 store, who was among the first to arrive at the scene of the accident, was run off the highway, only 200 yards from where Isom was found, by a car which was zigzagging from one side of the road to the other. Some ten feet from Isom, tire marks showed where a car had swerved from the concrete to the dirt shoulder and then sharply back to the concrete again, as if the driver had seen him and attempted to avoid him unsuccessfully.
