Many of these visit Raleigh. They don’t think that whether Mr. L»andon stays at home or goes places, it will matter much. They find a certain fishiness is the governor’s strength in the East. The strafing which news papers give the resident does not seem to persuade. The cries of fright ened industry do not stem the tide. The very general impression that these hostile and friendly men bring to Raleigh is that the mass of men cannot be controlled or cajoled. They cite, some of them, North Carolina, a fairly industrial State. In Rocky Mount, Winston-Salem, Ham let, Erwin, Durham, West Durham, Spencer, and many smaller places such as Tarboro, Franklinton, Smith field and others not now easy to re call, the manufacturers find it utterly impossible to change the trend. These people voted heavily for Dr. McDon ald. It would have appeared easy to handle Winston-Salem with its im mense manufacturing strength and the leadership of its citizens. The same was true in West Durham, Dur ham and Erwin. Every man of prom inence connected with these organi zations was against Dr. McDonald, but there was no way to carry the voters with them. Winston-Salem gave Dr. McDonald a big majority despite one of the best organizations working for his opposi tion.

He was Eugene Geonidec, ship’s petty officer, whom the raging' waves cast up on the rocky shore. Farmers found him on the rocks —unconscious, half frozen and tied to a piece of wood. Near the spot where he was thrown, the pounded bodies of 30 of the victims were recovered later. Among them was Captain Jean Baptiste Charcot, distin guished Arctic and Antarctic ex plorer, whose leadership of scen tific expeditions won for him the title of “Admiral Byrd of France.” Geonidec was taken to a farm house, where after being given coffee and wrapped in warm blan kets, he recovered consciousness. He fell into a deep sleep for many hours before he awoke to tell the story of the disaster.

KNOX STATEMENT DEMOCRATIC HELP Roosevelt Turns Trick On G. O. P. Candidate’s “In surance” Break Dally Dispatch Bureau, lu the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Sept. 17.—State Democrats ! treasure the bonehead of Vice Presi dential Candidate Frank Knox, whose crack .about insurance policies and the safety of savings deposits gives the Democrats a chance to pedal loudly on the Roosevelt record in banks and insurance. Colonel Knox, the Democrats think, promises to rival Rev. Mr. Burchard of the 1884 Cleveland campaign. To • make Colonel Knox’s crack stand up, ■ it must be explained that the Chicago ■ newspaper man had reference to the ' valueless dollar sure to come as tn© result of Roosevelt. Colonel Knox has denied saying no insurance policy and no savings account could be safe; the emphasis was upon the reduced value of such investments. Which brings on inflation and then impenetrable mystry. The Democrats coveted that break. Nobody under stands inflation, they say; but when an ordinary farmer sells tobacco for 25 cents after giving it away many years, rubber dollars do not displease him; for he buys an automobile for $750 that is better than the one for which he paid $1,200 ten years ago, and the sls suit of clothes which he must have is better than the $25 out fit that he bought a few years ago.

Personally led by General Francis co Franco, the rebel commander-in chief, .the Fascist forces advancing on Toledo and Madrid engaged in a bloody battle with government mili tiamen only a few miles from Toledo itself. From the northeast, the north and the northwest other Fascist drives were pointed toward Madrid, where the government announced foreign daredevil” pilots were being recruit ed to start a great aerial offensive with a “huge fleet of bombing and fighting planes.” At St. Jean de Luz, France, United States Ambassador Claude G.
