Democratic County Chairman G.
V. Cowper today announced that Jo-
aiuh William Bailev. collector of in
ternal revenue for the Eastern North
Carolinu District, will .speak here at
noon on Tuesday, October 20. Col
lector Uailey is one of the leading
Democratic orators in the State, and
his speech in Goldsboro Thursday
night, opening the campaign in the
Gate City, was topliner Btuff for the
morning papers.
CAMPAIGN EXPENSES
WILL BE SMALL.
Tha fif teen-da v campaign of the
Democratic county candidates In Le
noir this month will entail expenses
totalling not more than $350, the
candidates believe. The price of pork
is the biggest item they have to take
into consideration, since it will re
quire quite a number of pigs to feed
the multitudes at the township speak
ings in the eleven rural precincts.
There will be a barbecue dinner at
each place. The campaign will be
gin' Tuesday.
AUTOMATIC ALARM
ENTHUSES FIRE HORSES.
Burt Sellers, the driver of No. I
wagon of the fire department, ' says
hi horses are "crazy" abdut the new
fire alarm apparatus. For a few days
after the new system was installed,
they didn't "take to" the new gong,
and would not work to it because they
could not see what made the thing
ring1 or any man pulling the string.
A few days' practice did the trick,
however, and now at the daily prac
tice the blacks eagerly prance to
their places beside the pole at the
frrt tap of the automatically operat
ed bell.

The Kinston High School football
eleven is playing the Washington
High School team in the latter place

strongest line-up in the history of
local hitfh school athletics. The fol
lowing comprise the team: Ernest
Boyd, center; John llerndon, George
Knott, Hay Wooten, guards; Clayton
Morris, Ely Courie, Willie Fleming
tackles; Paul Whitaker, George

If you are out of a job, are a male
citizen of the I'nited States letween
the ages of 18 and :!.", and have
sound health, go see Uncle Sam about
it. A corporal of the recruiting ser
vice, U. S. A., arrived late Thursday

their league, and the wreckers of all
who have faced them in world's se

world, a steady, but not sensational
pitching staffthe mainstays of
which accomplish as much with their
brains as with their arms are his as
sets. Mack is sending his great machine
after the world's title for the fifth
time. Every man is a veteran of at
least one struggle. In the line-up of
the Braves there are but two men who
have ever before smelled the smoke
of the big battle. They are Johnny
Evers, who aided the Cubs in their
fights for the title, and Josh Devore,
a former New York giant.
Of the Athletics' veterans, Bender
has been under fire in four of the bigl
league "combats Plank, Collins) Bak-'
er, MrunR, Lapp and Barry have
been through three. Oldring, Mcln
nes, Thomas and Coombs have taken
part irl two series, while Schang, Bush
and Eddie Murphy received their
baptism of fire a year ago.
Taking the lead on May 30, the
Athletics had a little trouble in again
winning the American League pen
nant this year. They were never
headed after they assumed command
and enter the series today with the
same driving force and strategy which
has kept them to the fore. On the
other hand ,the Braves have made the
most sensational fight in the history
of baseball". On July fi, the Braves
were in last place. Tied the Giants

Upon his pitchers Stallings will
pin his faith for victory over the
Mackmen. They face the greatest
test of their careers in their efforts
to spike the guns of the heavy artil

quard, Tesreau .Overall, Brown and
all who have faced them.

"You can have a slow, simmering fire
on one burner at the same time you have

you want them and you can go away
