The two matters in question : consist of an amendment to the con -1 stitution, Section 3, Article 111, pro , viding for a change in canvassing of election returns of state officers, aside from the governor; the refer endum is on the Wolrd War Veterans I loan act. i There is thought to be little op i position to the constitutional amend -1 ment, which gives the board of elec j tions power to canvass the vote cast ;in the general election, instead of i requiring the legislature to canvass the vote as in the case at present. This would remove the necessity for candidates for state offices having to wait until the legislature meets be fore being able to take such office, ! and would enable such officials to | take office in January. Only in cases | where an election is contested, I would the matter be taken before the legislature. Owing to the fact that in the majority of cases the legislature accepts the figures of the board of elections and merely certi fies them it is thought that little op position will develop. Different Note Sounded. But in the case of the Veterans' Loan act, an entirely different note is sounded and the song sung is in a minor key. It will be remembered that this act was submitted to a referendum vote in the 1924 elec tion and received a majority of the votes cast, but because it was word ed to say "qualified electors" instead of "votes cast, it was lost. It is now submitted with "votes cast" for majority of qualified electors. But despite this change, many believe that now since the after-the war hysteria has worn off to a great degree, little chance for the adop tion of the measure remains. It will be recalled that the act calls for the creation of a loan of $2,000,000, j though the sale of bonds, and that this fund shall be loaned out to former service ment, in sums not ex ceeding $3,000 for not more than 20 i years, and at 6 per cent interest. All loans must be properly secured with property or collateral approved by the board of supervisors. The law is to me administered by a commission er of the veteran's loan fund who will receive a salary of $3,500 a year, and an office in a state build ing and what other clerical help he may need. Opposition Argument. It is argued that virtually any man, ex-service or otherwise, may secui-e as good terms on loans from almost any bank, and that loans of equal size and over almost the same term of years may be obtained from large insurance companies at 5 1-2 per cent and in some cases even as low as 5 per cent, and that hence the measure would fill no need and would be useless. "The question now is how we may decrease taxation and lighten the load on the people, and not increase, and- any bond issue of $2,000,000, when there is no pai'ticular need to be met, it's not likely to meet with favor," said a prominent state official. "I think the majority of the saner thinking people will be opposed to it. I am." CHEROKEE FARMERS TO TRY TOBACCO RAISING Gaffney Ledger: Fifteen repre sentative Cherokee county land own ers were definitely committed to planting from one to five acres each in tobacco next year at a meeting held here Tuesday. Several others promised to take the matter under consideration for later decision. Colonel D. C. Ross, president of the American State Bank, who took the lead in the movement for diversi fication of Cherokee county farming, said he had assurance from a number of other planters that they will par ticipate in the experiment. He pre dicted that when planting time comes next spring 25 or more farm ers will have portions of their fields devoted to tobacco.

CHAMPION OUT OF SHOOTING CHARGE I Mooresboro Man Who Shot Wilson at Speedway is Free; Hoey His Attorney. ! Miracles happen now and then. Here's one that happened recently. C. O. Champion, of Mooresboro, who shot and wounded a man named Gibson in Charlotte during the speedway races last summer, is out jof jail—free and untrammeled —as ! long as he behaves himself, says The ! Shelby Star. He was released about three weeks ago. In the language of the court, "prayer for judgment was contin ued"—which means that as long as he walks the straight and narrow he will have his freedom. But it was a narrow squeeze and he, it is said, may count himself among the lucky ones of this earth. Clyde R. Hoey was his attorney. Mr. Hoey has won not a few legal victories in his time —but this one pins the rose on him. He got his man out of a more or desperate fracas, so to speak, without a scratch. Young Champion was arraigned on three counts —one for being drunk, one for carrying a pistol and one for assault with intent to kill. The evidence was, he walked up to Gibson, who was parked by a hot dog stand near the speedway, drew his pistol and said: "I'm going to shoot a hole through you." And apparently did his best to make good his boast. He took a pot shot at Gibson, who he had never seen before, and winged him, and the man spent sev eral weeks in a Charlotte hospital, hovering part of the time between life and death. And now Champion is out —after paying a fine—and making a settle ment with Gibson—with the "prayer for judgment suspended." - Treat Goitre At Home Operation Prevented by Tenn. Lady.

LORA JOHNSON DIES AT LATTIMORE While eating dinner after a hard morning's work, Mrs. Lora Johnson of near Lattimore, was stricken with paralysis, Monday, October 18, and died Wednesday morning at 3 o'clock. Mrs. Johnson was 56 years of age and a very industrious woman who had enjoyed very good health until Monday when she received a sudden stroke of paralysis. She was the daughter of Mrs. Jane Bridges and her aged mother survives, together with her husband, J. A. Johnson and five children, John Blanton and Dur ham Johnson, Misses Acquilla, Mat tie Lou and Bernice Johnson. Mrs. Johnson was twice married, her first husband being Jesse Blanton. Some time after his death she was married to J. A. Johnson, one of the most respected citizens of Lattimore. Five grandchildren also survive, together with three brothers, Sam Bridges, of Danville, Ga., Cicero and C. A. Bridges, of near Lattimore. Mrs. Johnson was a good woman and loved by all who knew her. She was a member of the Baptist church at Lattimore where her funeral took place Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the services being conducted by Revs. I. D. Harrill, D. G. Wash burn and Rush Padgett. Her nephews served as pallbearers. There was a large crowd present and a beautiful floral offering.—The Shelby Star. PECULIAR ACCIDENT TO SMALL BOY Sunday morning, October 17, Mr. and Mrs. Willie Haynes and children of Nealsville, Route one, left their home to spend the day with friends. On the way Mr. Haynes was driving his truck and ran into a low place in the road. His small son, Jack, fell or was thrown against the side of the body of the truck, causing him to bite his tongue almost into and knocked several teeth out. Mr. Haynes rushed Jiim to the hospital for treatment. He* is" doing nicely at present. FOREST CITY GRAMMAR SCHOOL NEWS Of INTEREST Daily Attendance is Excellent —Books Needed—Splendid Prospects. The enrollment for Forest City Grammar school for'the first month was 688 boys and girls. The average daily attendance was 632. While the average daily attendance felL off some due to children of the farm i who were out of school picking cot ton. These children are expected to enter school next Monday and come regularly. The following grades made more than 97 per cent daily attendance without having any tar dies, and to encourage perfect at tendance these grades were given the fourth Friday af£ernoon as a holiday. The plan is working well and has increased the attendance very noticeably. Grades 782, 682, 681, 381, 382, 4A and 2A. Statistics of the school show that students with good attendance rarely fail to be | promoted in the spring term. The teachers and school officials are trying to raise the standard of the school, and in order to do so, several hundred books for the lib rary are needed. The primary read ing material and supplementary readers have all been purchased. The North Carolina course of study for Elementary Grades requires every child to read five readers, two of this number are basals and three are supplementary readers, the school owns 22 sets of 20 volumes each from grades one through seven. The books were bought with money made from plays given in the last two years, together with the books' rent. It is necessary to charge a small fee to replace worn out volumes. How ever, if parents prefer buying the additional readers they may do so, but this plan is much cheaper for the parents. The fee is only 10c per volume making a total of 30c for ad ditional readers. This sum is not quite half the cost of each book. The set of readers will last about two years and this fee helps to replace i them. A few of the parents have given books to the library this year. Mrs. Morris has given several books, Mrs. F. I. Barber has given 35 volumes, while a number of students have do nated the books given by the P. T. A. for perfect attendance. The fol lowing children gave books: Muriel Padgett, Billy Bonton, Mattie Mills, Nellie White, Willie B. King, Eliza beth Jones, Tony Carver, Roy Calla han, Pauline Jones, Farmer Thomas, Anne Moore, Von King, Robert Mc- Donald, Jay Downey and Ralph Tate.
