* D i2ce Streamlined Diesel Locomo tives Among Largest In The World Rapid progress is being made on construction of the nine new Diesel tvpe electric locomotives to be put in to service on the Seaboard Air Line main line through this city in the early winter, pictures received show ing the construction work in progress indicate that folks along the Sea boards through route will see the real article in streamlining when these engines begin duty. With this new equipment, the Sea board intends to make a fresh bid for Florida and mid-South travel from the North and East. It is talk ed here that three hours will be clip ped from the time from New York to Miami. L. R. Powell. Jr., receiver of the Seaboard, is predicting an aid to business in the South as the re sult of this new service. It is the first time any r ailroad has ever provided electric service from New York to Florida. The Seaboard is pioneering in this work. It got a $2,000,000 grant from the government to buy these engines The Seaboard was first to introduce air-conditioned equipment on its trains. But putting nine Diesel en gines into service is the most radical and forward-looking step the road has yet made. Only two others of the same great horsepower as these new electric locomotives have ever been constructed, and are in use on trans continental lines in the west. The new Seaboard locomotives are the longest type in the world, each unit of three locomotives being 210 feet in length. Mr. Powell said they are designed to provide the fastest possible long distance transportation at the lowest possible cost and with the utmost comfort, safety and de pendabilitv under all operating con i’itions. The nine huge Diesels are under construction in the plant of the Electro-Motive Corporation at Le- Giange, Illinois.

Knoll, a minor Sudeten German functionary, was killed when he fell from a rail road train while in custody of a mili tary guard. He had been charged with espionage, and Sudeten Germans have demanded an inquiry into his death, intimating he was killed after a scuffle with the officers. Fearing violence, officials had re fused permission for the funeral to be held under Sudeten German aus pices. Central Laundry Phone 287 Laundry Service At Its Best Give Us Your Next Bundle.

MOSES JONES Jarrres Early of Henderson came over this way several days ago. Had not seen James in some time. They lived here for many years. Now his father lives at Raleigh. James mar ried Miss Hettie Hicks, daughter of Cousin Cera Smith Hicks, who .vrote us that letter recently about Old Salem Church. The oldest Early boy, Herman, lives at Lattimore, near Shelby. James said that we passed within a mile or so of Herman’s .home when we went on our mountain trip. We also passed within about five miles of our Cousin Catharine Crews Brown. They live at Paw Creek, near Charlotte. Catherin-e and Rev. Mr. Brown were married out at the Ay cock school teacherage several years ago, and she is a sister of Mrs. Poe- When we were on our trip we also passed near the home of an old fiiend Joel Wetmore, but did not know it until the other day. He lives near Sylvia, up beyond Waynesville, where we stopped a few minutes at the Chevrolet garage to have the wind shield wiper fixed, and something about the muffter. Joel lives up there since he married several years ago, and from what his brother, Dare. I tells me, he mostly enjoys fox hunt j ing. Charles T. Smith; out at Cannady’s Mill, reports that his children, Charles Jr., and Betty Jean, have been sick with flu. I failed to get in th € news sooner that Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Watkins and family spent the day recently here at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Lonnie Breedlove, on Broad Street, and Miss Eunice stayed on longer than just the day. 1 Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cash, Miss j Lizzie Guerrant, Mrs. Otis Faucette, and Buck Guerrant have returned | from from a trip to Skyline Drive, | Luray Caves, Washington, D. C-, and j Mt. Vernon. I Harvey Jeffries and George Edward I Daniel are to be initiated into the ! Young Men’s Business Club tonight (Thursday) at the club suppei at Hotel Oxford. Have you ever seen Judy Garland, the movie star? Did any of you see her in “Everybody Sing?” She was in ourtown in person yesterday, or rather the young lady looked like Judy. Miss Margaret Frazier, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Frazier, of North Granville, near Amis chapel, was with her. While in the dime store I called Miss Margaret away and asked her who the Judy Garland was who was with her. It proved to be Miss Grace Harris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lonnie D. Harris, of Virgilina, Va., Route 2. And speaking of North Granville, Raymond Royster’s hunting blood is getting all stirred up. His fine,,.pack of hunting hounds are all ready and anxious to get on the trail ones more. Mr. and Mrs. Will Robertson, of Crewe, Va., Mrs. R. R. Herring and Mrs. Mamie Britt, of Oxford, have returned from Brevard, where they took Mrs. Herring’s son, Charlie Bryan, to school. Mrs, Britt reports that they hada pleasant trip by Lake Lure, Asheville, Junaluska and on in to Tennessee. They brought back with them Mrs. Allred from Erwin, Tenn., a niece of Mr. Herring. They spent one night right on top of Grandfather Moun tain. Back by Winston-Salem, Mrs. Britt visited Salem College ,the sec ond time she has returned there sines her graduation. And now about papa’s condition. He had a bad night last night, although he had seemed to get along very nice ly yesterday. There is no real im provement in his condition. T. MOSES JONES. Hoey Wants Southern To Run A. & N. C. (Continued from Page One.) venture. His recommendations amount to directions because of the fact that the State owns something like 70 per cent of A. and N. C. Stock. As the governor sees it, the line would benefit by becoming an inte gral part ofa large system instead of ’ a loose end tied on to nothing. Morehead City’s future as a port would be immeasurably brighter, he thinks, because the Southern would make a point to route cargoes through the North Carolina port. At present the Southern has lines into both Nor folk and Charleston, and quite natur ally is moving all its water traffic over its own lines into these cities rather than into Morehead over a line from which it gets no profit. Employes of the line would benefit, too, the governor is certain, because the Southern would pay a wage scale something like 20 per cent higher than is now in effect on the Mullet. An another thing, something the chief ex*ecutive isn’t saying a word about, but which undoubtedly is in the back of his mind. Operation of the road by the Southern would per mit the graceful dropping overboard of H. P. Crowell, imported and no end of opposition since he took FRESH MEATS.

DAILY DISPATCH FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1938 high-priced manager who has aroused charge of the line. Os course, the operating plan which the Southern seems willing to under take does not relieve the State, throug its holdings of stoc kin the A. and N. C., of any possible loss in ope ration, The Southern is distinctly and emphatically unwilling to take any responsibility for that phase of the matter. All the big system is willing to do is to operate the Mullet—if it shows profit, give it to the Mullet stockholders if it loses, let the Mullet stockholders make it good. The governor mentions two possible leasing combinations, but does not appear to get into any joyful dither about either of them—a fact which lends credence to the belief that the Southern’s proposal has the inside track. Notable in the gubernatorial state ment were these kind words about the Southern: “The Southern Railway has done such outstanding work for North Carolina, both in operation of its own lines and in carrying out «>f its lease of the North Carolina Railroad, that the whole State is gratified that it is now manifesting interest in help ing to solve the problem of the At lantic and North Carolina Raili*oad.” The net result of the last few days’ developments seems to be that solu tion of a vexing problem is perhaps a bit nearer, but by no means certain. If the Mullet can be leased, sold, given away, torn up or otherwise disposed of it would be a great relief to Governor Hoey and all others now worrying' abut it. All of which recalls how poor a railroad prophet Josephus Daniels turned out to be. Some quarter cen tury ago, there wasa bona fide offer of $1,100,000 for the road—an offer which would have permitted th e Sta.te to escape with a whole hide, at any rate. But Carl Dunchan, then active in Republican circles, wasonq of- the proposed purchasers and Daniels led in the successful opposition to the plan. He predicted that the Mullet would in time pay all North Carolina’s taxes and, eventually its entire debt. And now look at it. 1938 Campaigns Notable For Vicious Names Used (Continued ::rom Page One.) complimentary names, never will for get it. If he’s beaten and stays beaten his grouch may never matter, but if 1 • wins or, being beaten, wins later, 1 would guess that he’ll become a P er_ manent irreconcilable. ; And quite a few of such candidates are bound to win ip. the current pri maries and conning election, i They’ll be a continuing force tp be reckoned with. { Not Between Parties, This campaign is not very ugly, as between Democrats and Republicans Indeed, on personal grounds, it’s been gentlemanly. The Republicans have said the Democrats, individual ly, are all right—except the New Deal Democrats. They haven’t even charg ed that individual New Deal Demo crats are personal cannibals. ; And the New Deal Democrats haven’t applied dirty epithets to the Republicans. They’ve said that the G. r.

They’re friendly enemies. Republican are not friendly to New Deal Democrats, but they’re not violent. Old and New Deal Democrats are the folk who hate one another like poison. They’re the ones who exchange re criminations. But they don’t exchange them partisonly. They swap words like “liar,” “traitor,” "blackguard” — and they specify whom they mean — Secretary Ickes, Senator Tydings 1 Senator Glass, Representative Lewis the President himself. Liar, traitor, betrayer, et cetera. This is intra-party stuff. Never have I heard political lan guage so crassly expressed. I can’t see how rivals, who have abused one another so virulently, ever cap be friends again. Folitics make strange bedfelloW3. To which we’d like to add that the game offers some soft berths, too.

Up to the present writing there is * absolutely no sign of any such up- I heaval. Statistics from past races supply plenty of evidence that this is the situation. Going back as far as 1920 for analysis of election returns, it is revealed that in the five gubernatorial races since that time only 39 of the 100 counties have been carried even once by the Republicans. Os these 39, the G. O. P. was suc cessful once in 13 counties, twice in eight, three times in nine, four times in two and every time in seven. The counties which have landed in the Republican column for governor just once are Ashe, Cabarrus, Mont gomery and Yancey in 1920; Tyrrell ir. 1924; Alamance, Gaston, Harnett, Jackson, Lincoln, Moore, Rockingham and Rowan in 1928.

P. units are Brunswick, Catawba, Cherokee, Gra ham, Henderson, Stokes, Surry and Swain, all of which went Republican in 1920, 1924, and 1928, but which have since landed in the Democratic column. Davidson voted for the minority party every other time, in 1920, 1928 and 1936. Governor J. C. B. Ehringhaus kept Clay and Randolph from being every time Republican counties. He carried them in 1932, but is the only Demo cratic gubernatorial candidate who has managed to do so. The confirmed and apparently un shakable Republican counties (so far as the governors’ races go) are Avery, Davie, Madison, Mitchell, Sampson, Wilkes and Yadkin; and even here the the Democrats have broken thro ugh to elect Democratic members of the House on occasion.
