GOLD ROM OCEAN i WAT RATN.C.CSTY WILMINGTON, N. C., Oct. 10—A nugget the size of a pinhead halt gold end half silver--the first of the precious metals dissolved in the ocean ever to be recovered i$ the latest feat of American chemistry. The extraction of this gold and silver from Atlantic ocean water near here was announced to the New York section of the American chem ical society here last night by Dr. Willard H. Dow of the Ethyl Dow Chemical company. This company extracts bromine from sea water near here. When its plant opened just nine months ago it was not even dreamed that gold and silver also could be recovered from the water. The fact that there was gold in the sea was well known. But the difficulties of extraction were generally conceded by scientists to be insurmountable. But at the bromine plant it was found that the sulphuric acid poured into the sea water to help recover bromine had changed the chemico electrical nature of the gold and silver. It was predicted then that chemists might expect to extract the ocean gold commercially. Why Liquid Laxatives are Back in Favor The public is fast returning to the use of liquid laxatives. People have learned that the right dose of a properly prepared liquid laxative will bring a more natural movement with out any discomfort at the time, or after. The dose of a liquid laxative can be varied to suit the needs of the in dividual. The action can thus be regulated. A child is easily given the right dose. And mild liquid laxatives do not irritate the kidneys. 9 Doctors are generally agreed that senna is a natural laxative. It does not drain the system like the cathar tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid laxative which relies on senna for its laxative action. It gently helps the average person’s constipated bowels until nature restores their regularity. You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready for use. * SQUIRRELS SCARCE IN COUNTY SAY HUNTSMEN . ,_ ' Squirrels are very scarce this year, according to reports coming to this newspaper via the grapevine route.

PLAIN 0R BAG M lull I SELF RISING.VOL Fat Back pouwd 15c OUTSTANDING AT THE COUNTY FAIR (Continued front txisa un*) beautifully marked animals shown, in the poultry division by Earl tlil lespie of the Cherryfield section. The animals looked beautiful, but were just the least bit inappropriate for show animals from the viewpoint of many — they were pole cats (with their stinker apparatus being minus.) Canned goods, packed and ar ranged perfectly, were nicely dis played in the main building, practi cally anything one could wish to eat being shown. Noticeable in this de partment was the manner in which the fruits and other foodstuffs had been packed. Then there were cakes, pies, candies, end most anything else in the goody-goody line that would tempt the appetite of the most dis gruntled old grumbler. “No samples’’ were being given out, however, so the scribe could only judge by looks. Enough beautiful dahlias were in evidence to have been a dahlia show , within itself. This display added the necessary touch of color to the main building and did not lack for atten tion. Dahlias were entered f'.Vm all sections of the county. In the vocational agriculture de partment one could really see just what the young boys who take voca tional agriculture are accomplishing —perfect potatoes, corn, hays, and ether displays, with blemishes that were noted in the "old folks” display ! being prominent by their absence. A neatly arranged ana wen planned child’s room was put up by Margaret White, eighth grader of the Rosmsn school, with a bed that would appeal to most any child, a little dressing table ,book stand, and wardrobe with neatly hung dresses and wraps. Standing out to itself was a beau-; tiful bassinet in the center of the home making department, made by Hazel Moore, second year pupil of th; home making class at Rosman. The bassinet was complete in every detail, lacking only a smiling, cooing j baby, and to take care of this short- j age a big doll sufficed. Dresses, wraps, spreads and other home necessities, made by girls in , the home making departments of the j two high schools were attractively , arranged .and drew attention from ladies and girls, and eve nsome of j the menfolk. Styles worn by women four thous- , and years ago, and on down through , the ages, through the age of the big hats, the bustles, the hoop skirts, hobble skirts, short skirts and pres ent day modes were displayed by Miss Lucy Slagle, teacher of home economic? at Brevard high school. Early Egyptian styles, Roman, Grecian, Spanish, French, English, the Pilgrims, early American and on down were complete to the minutest; details, dolls being used as models, with fabrics and colors being as near , correct as possible, and accentuated by correct head dress and accessories. | Miss Slagle put in several months ( work on the display. | Altogether the vocational agricul- j ture and home economics displays' were leaders in exhibits, but the; entire showing was one that Tran sylvania county could well be proud | of. Many things of interest were noted , —but Van Waldrop’s paper-eating mare, evidently adverse to publicity, materially deducted from the write up. Adding much to the fair was the sign work, pointers and streamers that were made up by Girtha \\ at kins and Tom Stroup. Special men tion should also he made of the work done by the buildings and grounds committee,and members of b"th voca-, ticnal agriculture and home econom ics classes for their work in putting on the fair. DATE CHANGED FOR ANNUAL MEETING! On last Sunday the annual cele bration of Davidson River Day was held in the old Presbyterian church on Davidson River. The church was packed and the attendance amounted to several hundred. The morning ser mon was by the Reverend R. D. BeddiJ'ger, D. D.. of Asheville, who gave a powerful sermon on “Wit nessing for Christ.’’ The afternoon services the Reverend J. P. Simmons, pastor of the Brevard-Davidson River churrh preached. At the after noon services a short talk was given by W. R. Kinuey on some of the items on the old . history of the church, and in connection with his talk a copy of the obituary of John Murray was read. John Murray had united with this church in the year 1802. In 1828 he was a ruling elder and continued a ruling cider of Davidson Rivar dhureh until 1859 when the Mills River church was cut off from the Davidson River church and was an elder of the Mills River church until his death in 'SCO. The date of Davidson River day was changed from the first Sunday in October to the last Sunday in September. The usual Davidson River day pic nic dinner was very much in evi dence. There were enough fried chick ens to feed a regiment with the usual accompaniment of ham, beef, deviled eggs, salads, cakes, pies, et cetera, et cetera. This is one of the annual celebra tions in the county which is always well attended, and always enjoyed by all. The greater part of the crowd, as usual, was from this county but, there was quite a number present from adjoining counties in this state and South Carolina.—Contributed.

EUROPEINTURMOIL BECAUSE OF DEATHS MARSEILLE, France, Oct. 10 — King Alexander of Yugoslavia, dic tator-ruler of the land where the World war spark first flamed twenty years ago, and Foreign Minister Louis Barthou, France’s champion of peace, were shot to death by a Yugoslavian assassin five minutes after the king arrived here Tuesday. From all the capitals of Europe came concern that the spectacular slaying would unsettle the balance <1 peace on the continent, although no immediate danger of war was fore seen. The assassination took place as King Alexander was being escorted from the vessel on which he arrived to government buildings in Marseille. The assassin jumped upon the side of the car in which the royal visitor was riding and there fired the fatal shots. He was cut down by two blows from the sword of a French cavalry officer. The killer continued to fire after he fell to the ground and twelve persons were wounded. To the Balkar throne in Alexan der’s stead will come the 11-year-old Crown Prince Peter, but upon a regency will rest the shaping of poli cies that may alter the makeup of the western world.

CARDINALS BEST DETROIT TIGER ) Dean Brothers Complete Saga Unmatched In History Of Baseball ■■■ Detroit, Oct. 10—Completing the | spectacular saga of the Deans with a history-making climax, the great Jerome Herman (Dizzy) Dean pitch ed St. Louis to the baseball chain pionahip of the world with a record shutout triumph, 11 to 0, as the Car dinal clouting crew slaughtered the pitching staff of the Detroit Tigers: in as wild and riotous a finish as any i world series has ever witnessed. The National league champions blasted the last defense of Mickey Cochrane’s battered Bengals with u smashing seven-run attack in the third. They bombarded six pitchers all told for a total of 17 hits while Dizzy Dean, turning in the fourth victory for his team and family, emerged from the seventh and final game with the most lopsided series shutout margin since Christy i Mathewson blanked the Athletics, 9j to 0, in 1905. The Cardinals gained the chain-1 pionship uf their own league by com- j ing from seven games behind the New York Giants in the last month ! of the season. The Dean boys, Dizzy 1 and Daffy, had able assistance in | the first part of ibis spurt but took ; the closing games of the season on j alternate days. The Dodgers, in keen , recollection cf the pre-season taunts of the Giant manager, helped to j make the Cardinal claims secure by downing the Giants in the last two games of the season. Detroit, mean while, had coasted in with a large lead. The first game of the series was just the same old story: too much Dean. Jerome turned in a win over Alvin Crowder. The Detroit ace, Lynwood Rftwe, finally came out win ner in is superb hurling duel with Wild Bill Tlallahan, who pitched perhaps the best game of the series, only to be defeated 3 to 2. The Dean family took up the bur den again for the next day and Paul Dean bested Bridges, curve ball artist for the Tigers. Aucker, rookie Tiger, turned in a win over Carlton to square the count. Bridges then gave Jerome Dean a defeat to give the Tigers the lead, three to two. From there on out it was the Dean boys again. Paul bested Lynwood Howe and Jerome came back with a day's rest to blank the Tigers for the winner’s cut of the series money. Renew Your Subscription RELIEF TEACHERS WILL MEET SATURDAY MORN (By E. R.

M. m Mins For the past 22 years I have been dealing in logs, wood and bark, and have sold practically all such prod ucts as I havo handled during these' long years to the Gloucester Lumber company at Rosman. About nine years ago, when Mr. Collins, (Kay to me and ail people in this county) started working in the office of the Gloucester Lumber com pany, I was the first man to have dealings with him in his new work, and at that time found him to be fair, upright, honest, and a man oi ability. In my dealing with the Gloucester Lumber company through Kay Col lins I have done better than twenty five thousand dollars worth of busi ness during the years he has been serving the public, and I deem it a pleasure now to endorse him as a man that is all that could be expected of any gentleman. In none of my dealings have I found Kay to be par tial either to me as a customer oi t > the company for which he works. Therefore, I take the greatest of pleasure in recommending Kay Col lins to my friends and the voters of Transylvania County as a man they car implicitly trust, and feel sure that the county can do no better than to elect him to the House of Repre sentatives fit the election to be held on November Gth.
