GOVERNOR McLEAN
IN LINCOLN COUNTY
Deals a Telling Blow to “So-Called 1
Republican Prosperity.”
By J. C. BASKERVILL
(Staff Correspondent)
Lincolnton, Oct. 21. —Governor Me- j
Lean, fast winding up his stumping
campaign of the western part of the
state invaded Lincoln county today
and dealt a telling blow to “so-called
Republican prosperity.”
"The Republicans talk of ‘Repub- ■
lican prosperity’ bqt these hundred*
of cotton fields I have seen where the
cotton will not be picked, becanxp
the labor costs Vnore 'than the cotton
at present prices, does not look like
prosperity to me, neither does it look
like prosperity to you,” the governor
declared.
governor also briefly
the accomplishments of Democratic
administrations in the state durjng
the past twenty-five years, from that
of Aycock through that of Governor
Cameron Morrison, touching but brief
ly on the new measures put into ef
fect by his own administration. He
called attention to the fact that j
throughout this entire period, during
xx’hich hundreds of millions of dollars
of public money had been handled, j
there had not been one hint of graft
or dishonesty. He pointed to the •
great highway program, which has
been carried out without fear or favor
of private interests, for the benefit of
the people, as an outstanding example
of the honesty and trustworthiness of
Democratic control in North Carolina.
Especial attention was called to the
outstanding work done in ,t’ne Senate |
by Senators Simmons and Overman
and of t’ae many tributes paid to Sen
ator Simmons from ail sources as one
of the greatest authorities in taxation
and government finance in the entire
country.
In conclusion, the governor called
upon the voters of Lincoln county
and the state generally to continue to
give their support in the direction of
maintaining unbroken Democratic con
trol in state affairs, as this course
was the only hope of maintaining the
rate of progress and advancement al
ready being maintained in the state.
Immediately after his speech in
Lincolnton the governor left for his
night speaking engagement, after
which he will go to Albemarle for his
last speech of the week tomorrow
night. He will go to Greensboro Sat
urday morning for a conference with
bankers and business men of that sec
tion Saturday morning with regard to
the cotton situatioh after which he
will go back to Raleigh Saturday
night.
Gas Fumes Kill Gate City Men.
Greensboro, Oct. 20.—H. H. Wal
ker and George CV Causey, two young
men emp’oyed by the North Carolina
Public Service company here, arc
dead today as a result of escaping
gas from a main. The bodies were
found under the porch of a vacant
1 house here shortly after 1 o’clock
this morning.
The two young men, gas fitters for
the public service company, had been
sent out on a repair job late yester
day. When they failed to appear at
the office of the company or to their
homes last night some concern xvas
felt and a searching party was or
ganized.
Tracing calls from record kept in
the office, the nien were finally locat
ed by the truck in which they left
the plant- It was seen standing in
the rear of a house on Church street:
and gas fumes were noticeable f >r
some distance.
With the assistance of police, the
bodies were located under the porch.
» From the position in which they
1 were found it is believed today that
Walker had become trapped beneath
the porch and Causey had been try

CLARK DISCREDITS ALARM I
f
Over the Present Condition of the
Cotton Market./ I
(By International News Service) 1
Charlotte. Oct. 21. —Discrediting
alarm felt over the present condition
of the cotton market, David
publisher of the Textile Bulletin, has
issued a statement in which is con
tained- n note of optimism and the
prediction of orderly marketing of
the mammoth cotton crop of 11)20.
“There is no need for alarm about
the present condition of the cotton
market," said Clark. He quoted Sec
retary Hester, of the American Cot
ton Exchange, as saying that,
though the present crop is largej it
can be marketed in an orderly manner,'
along regular channels, aud that there
is no reason to apprehend a pacie.
Clark said It was erroneous to De*
lieve that due to the change that has
come about in woman’s Avear, there
has been enough reduction in the use
of cotton to cause depression in the
cotton mills. He cites figures show
ing that where in 1000 the per cqpita
consumption of cotton g*ods m the
United States Avas 55 square yards, it
is now 72.5 square yards, due to the
amount consumed by the automobile
and other mechanical trades.
“Women, including yomen,
k |ro- noting t<sWmr cot(®ktockings f
. ks long jpi silk and rayfifrias kings,
look better. The public, including.-
the farmers, are not going to buy
cotton bags as long ns a low tariff on
jute makes it possible to buy jute
bags for a lower price. There are
Avays in which women can help both
the cotton mills and the farmers.
That is for every one of them to f, buy
a cotton smock at once. Smocks are
very useful and practical and tare in
style.”
THE COTTON MARKET
i
Opening Decline of 5 to 9 Points, \
With Slight Advance Later in the '
Day.
NeAV Y’ork, Oct. 21. —04 3 ) —Reports
that the tropical storm Avas heading
I too far east to menace the cotton belt
and rumors that one of the private
mid-month reports pointed to a crop
indication of 17.200,000 bales appeared
largely responsible for an opening de
cline of 5 to 9 points in the cotton
market today.
Heavy December liquidation sent
the price off to 12.45 and a little
more southern hedge selling developed,
but trade interests Avere reported good
buyers of May contracts at the 13
cents level. There also was consider
able covering by recent sellers which
steadied the market at net declines of
about 6 to 30 points. Prices Avere 2
or 3 points up from the loAvest at
the end of the first hour.
Cotton futures opened fairly steady.

A TAR HEEL TO ENTER
THE CHARLOTTE RACES
■>
H. Glenn Bowman Joins the Ranks of
the Racing Drivers.
Charlotte, Oct. 21. —A Tar Heel
joins the ranks of the \vorld wamous
automobile racing drivers. H. Glenn
BoAvman, who speaks with t’ae soft
tongue of the Southland, will wedge
i himself into the seat of a costly rac
' ing creation here on the noted Char
' lotte speedway when the signal comes
from Fred J. Wagner, internationally
known starter, to drive into line for
the first thrilling event on Armistice
Day.
When Bowman pulls his goggles
down over his eyes to protect t’aem
from the blinding rush of wind as he
roars around the giant saucer at a
130-mile an hour gait with the other
renoAvned pilots, he will find his
dream of seven years come true.
Back in IDI9, on a sunny summer j
afternoon, spectators jammed into the
old Avooden grandstand of the fair
grounds at LaAvrenberg, Indiana, saAv
the dreaded yelloAV Hag frantica.ly
waved in front of smoking race cars
as they rushed through the dust
clouds. "Accident on the track,” the
yelloA\ r flag screams in the language
of the roaring road.
Only nine of the ten entered cars
flashed by the flag waving official,
their brakes screeching as they fought
to stop. On the back stretch, through
the settling dust clouds, could be seen
AA’hite-suited ambulance bearers lifting
a figure from a mass of tangled wreck
age-
A few weeks afterward a little
scene was enacted in a quiet room of
a hospital. Glenn, hobbling around
on crutches, swathed in bartdages, had
finally capitulated to the pleadings of
a little, Avhite-haired woman, his
mother, and had promised to forsake
I’ae lure of the race track.
Seven years have passed, with Bob
Burman, Gaston Chevrolet, Dario
Itesta, Roscoe Sarles and many other
felloAv drivers of those early days
forever through, having received their
last checkered finish flag—death. But
Glenn’s mother has finally told her
son that *ae can race again.
At last success met efforts to get
a race far* for Bowman when Frank
Elliott, the pilot who looks like a
minister but drives like a speed-mad
fiend, finally agreed to sell his mount,
the same costly motor that Jimmy
Murphy, the Irish prince of the rac
ing heirarchy, drove to repeated vic
tories before bis sad death in a crash
at Syracuse.
Under t'ae watchful eyes and guid
ance of the other racing drivers, Bow
man will hurl his cat around the
steeply banked curves of the Charlotte
bowl, bringing his racing eyes and
hardening his nerves for the grueling
grind of the twd"2s-mile dashes, the
50-mile classic and the climaxing 100-
mile marathon.

DUjE FOR THE DISCARD
Cleveland Farmers Are Turning to
Cows and Poultry.
Shelby. Oct. 21.—Cleveland county
farmers Avill diversify next year.
Times are not so hard—not half as
acute as pessimists would mak> be
lieve—but the loav price of cotton
has had its effect.
Judging by the conversation one
hears among farmers on the streets
there will be feAv in this
county AA'ho will stake their all on
cotton next year. The lesson this
year was too exacting to be forgot
ten before another planting season.
It Avasn’t particular foresight that
makes the cotton flop bearable this
year- Rather it was a generous A\-ork
ing of nature, according to a consen
sus of opinion among farm leaders.
However. Cleyeland farmers dhl set
aside more acreage for hay and feed
crops this year than last, and that
small diversification, together Avitb a
great abundance of all field and
fruit crops, prevented what mlgllt
have been a se.-ious situation.
With the present situation pre
vailing, cotton selling low. everybody
offering advice and none confident
enough to act upon it. farm leaders
—those who think ahead of the cal
endar —have reached the conclusion
that in the coming year chickens and
cows will supplant cotton as the
cash crop for Cleveland county.
Which doesn't necessarily mean
that there will be no cotton planted
next year, but every available acre
wild not be given over to cotton. In
stead the farmers of Cleveland coun
ty Avill play safe to the extent that
there will be enough food and feed
for his family and his live stock,
aud in case cotton goes bad. enough
incoming cash from chickens and
dairy products to take care of his
taxes and neoessary cash expendi
tures.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. f '
TRAINING SCHOOi
Fine Progress Made In the Work.—
Classes Assemble Again Tonight.
“This is one of the very best
e’asses that I have .ever taught in the
Sunday Sehool Manual/’ said Rev. H.
G. Bryant last yight during the lunch
period at the Cabarrus county Baptist
training school for Sunday school
workers, now in progress at the First
Baptist Church. Dr. Bryant Mas
had considerable experience in teach
ing the manual and his remarks were i
considered distinctly complimentary to )
the large class that he is now tench-t
ing in this school.
! “We had a gaining scnool here;
j some few years ago/’ said Rev. A. T. j
•Cain, “but the manner in w’.iich this;
school is being conducted is much.
more satisfactory and the results are i
far more pleasing than those obtained j
in previous schools. 1 am delighted !
with the work being done and hope to j
see the school as a permanent annual I
institution in our community/’
“This is a fine sight.*’ said H. W. j
Blanks, the “live wire” secretary of
Cue local Y. M. C. A., as he stood at
the head of the table during the lunch
period and looked down upon the long
row of young people who were attend
ing the school. Mr. Blanks was a very
welcome guest of the school last night.
He was very generous in his praise
of the high order of work being ac
l complisthed and urged all to continue
jto avail themselves of every oppor-
I tunity to train themselves for better
j service. Mr. Blanks also compliment
j ed the school upon its fine spirit of
! co-operation and Christian fellowship.
Tne "Y” secretary conducted the devo
tional service which is held every
night itlj connection with the lunch
period.
All classes assemble again tonight!
i promptly at 7 o’clock. A number of j
| new members joined Cue classes last
! night; some who have taken parts of j
the text bo<*k work are coming in to |
finish. Others are visiting the school i
to “look on” and “listen in.” Any- i
body is welcome anytime.
HIGHS PLAN FOR GAME
WITH SPENCER FRIDAY |
Dissastisfied With Friday’s Showing!
Against Mooresville Locals Work
.Hard for Next Game.
Smarting under the disappointment
of their poor showing against the
Mooresville. highs last Friday, mem
bers of the high football squad are
working earnestly this week for the
class with Spencer Friday.
Spencer always has a good team j
and the locals are going there to Cue |
Rowan town expecting to find such a l
team as they encountered in Gastonia !
when they played the beat ball of the
season. They are taking nothing for i
granted this week. j
Coach MoAuley warned his players j
last Friday not to take anything for I
granted in the Mooresville game. “If I
you don’t snap out of it you will be :
sorely disappointed,” he told . t'ue |
sqm|d. ' , V e
Apparently the locals felt-pll along ]
I that they could win about as they j
pleased against the Iredell county j
boys. They started down the field j
with a rush only to be halted within
I the shadow of the goal. Several times i
that happened until too late they
realized their .mistake.
All of the players came out of the
game Friday in good shape physical
ly, so Coach McAuley will have all
his regulars available for the Spencer
game.
