Republican Gains Put Them Again In Presidential Race New York, Nov. 9.?The Republican party turned back the six-year New Deal tide in yesterday's general elections, and tonight again was a major political force capable of giving Democrats a not ngnt ior the Presidency in 1940. Although the Republicans captured important political posts in many strategic states as the nation swung to the right of the New Deal, Democrats retained control of both houses of Congress and possession of more than one-half of the 48 gubernatorial posts. Virtually complete reports from the off-year election presented this picture tonight: Republicans won eight additional | Senate seats and their candidates were leading in neck-and-neck races in Indiana and IowaA total of 162 Republicans hadi been elected to the House at 9 p. m. This was a gain of 74 seats. Twen- [ ty-seven contests were undecided. Republicans made a net gain of 11 gubernatorial seats. President Roosevelt received the news of the Republican triumps in silence at his Hyde Park, N. Y., homeChairman James A. Farley of the Democratic National Committeee conceded that Republican gains exceeded his expectations, but he insisted that the country still is "strongly behind the humanitarian policies of President Roosevelt." While Farley said that "we lost a few more Democratic governors than we expected,'' and Republican victories in Congress "were greater than we anticipated," he said, "I still think that the outcome justi fied the statement that the country j as a whole is strongly behind the j humanitarian policies of President Roosevelt." Cotton Exports To Chile Increase Exports of American cotton i o Chile amounted to 1841 bales in j September, which is nearly twice I the amount exported in August and! considerably larger than the amount | exported to Chile a year ago. This continues the trend in Chile toward an increasingly large con- j sumption of American cotton. For the year ended July 31, 1938, Chile purchased 11,510 bales of American cotton valued at $1,025,000 as compared with 5,202 bales in the corresponding period of the previous year. P. T. A.

Practically every home owner on Brenon street appeared before the commissioners asking for curbing and gutter work on this street and for a sidewalk from the Joe Taylor residence corner to the residence of Pete Reavis. Ed Gillam, acting as i spokesman for the group, pointed out the need for widening and curbing the street leading through from Front street to the cemetery as far as the Reavis corner and for curbing Brenon street to its intersection with this street. He spoke e of the number of families living on the Brenon street development and stated that it was a danger and a ^ Viarrichir, fn 1* tlioeo nonnla , lioi'n to walk down a well traveled road r' to reach down-town and asked that r' v a sidewalk be laid along this route. Congressman Kerr asked that curbing and gutter be placed on Fifth Avenue and a sidewalk be laid on the south side of this streetLike the Brenon delegation, Congressman Kerr pointed out that re- ^ quested action would relieve a bad _ situation. To both of these requests Q the commissioners replied that it would be impossible to promise aid until the costs of carrying out the requests could be estimated and un- Q til it was known how much of the bond issue funds would be on hand Q at the completion of work already undayway, and referred the matter to the street committee. ' The strip of open ground between the present sidewalk and the curbing on main street from Modlin's corner to Pittard's Service Station will be concreted, according to order of the board after Mayor Polk had a read a petition from merchants and J property owners requesting that this n action be taken. John Tarwater c told the commissioners that he felt n that every member of the board was familiar with the condition at this point and knew how water J puddled in this space in time of rain and expressed the hope that the commissioners would give the merchants the relief requested. The v board unanimously agreed to do so. a G. B. Hull appeared before the r commissioners relative to a plum- j, ber's license- After some discussion ^ the board, upon motion of Commis- r sioner Strickland, agreed to issue q Mr. Hull a permit until the time of j the regular meeting of the state ^ board of plumbers examiners pro- sl vided that he would take out a town license and meet the bond requirement of the plumbing ordinance of the town.

Coming into court as a result of an automobile accident in wnicti State Patrolman Parks Alexander attached blame to both drivers, Edward Lovelace and Leo Alford were each charged with operating a motor vehicle in a careless and reckless manner. Neither of the men were found guilty. The whiskey charge was against four negroes who were captured at a still in Nutbush township early Sunday morning.

NUMBER 45 BOARD HOLDS UP RELIEF FIGURES Commissioners Defer Publication Relief Roll Following Welfare Opposition HAVE A QUIET MEETING The Board of County Commissioners in regular session here on Monday denied a request made by representatives of Warren county's welfare department to recind a former order made to publish the list of relief beneficiaries, but agreed to postpone printing the roll until a later date. Contending that to print the relief roll, as was ordered by the commissioners last month after three grand juries had recommended that it be done, would serve only to embarrass citizens of this county who had been forced through no fault of their own to turn to the government for financial aid, Miss Lucy Leach, superintendent of Warren county public welfare, and Mrs. G. H. Macon, William Taylor Jr. and Macon Thornton, members of the welfare board, accompanied by Clark W. Blackburn, field social work supervisor, and Mrs. Lora P. Wilkie and Miss Mildred Frazier, assistants in Miss Leach's office, requested the commissioners to re cind their former order. The board was unwilling to permanently kill the order to publish the list-, but agreed to postpone action until after two new members take office next month. Commissioners John Clay Powell and Sam King, who are to be replaced by Tom Harris and A. L. Fleming, are understood to have taken the position that since their tenure of office is practically up and there exists some feeling in regard to making the list public, it would probably be better for the matter to be decided by the full new board. When a motion was made to postpone action, the other commissioners agreed. In asking that the list not be published, Miss Leach informed the board of a letter she had received from the attorney general of the state in which he said he knew of no law requiring that the relief roll be published. She also pointed out that the idea of printing the list is frowned upon by those in charge of the distribution of federal funds, which are supplemented by state and county funds. Mr. Taylor and Mr. Thornton also asked that the I1SI IlUb UL' pUUllSIlCU, pUUlUllg UUk there is no law requiring that it be done and that to have it printed would only embarrass some worthy citizens and react unfavorably on some children in school who would be made to suffer by remarks from other children because their parents are on relief. Mr. Blackburn had little to say about publishing the list, but told the commissioners that two new case wur&eis nau ueen auucu iu uic county relief office in order to assist in the work of investigating cases and certifying deserving persons and that he was sure if there existed any irregularities in the work that they would soon be ironed out. out. He also said he knew of no other county in the state which is publishing the list. Aside from receiving the welfare heads and agreeing to postponing publication of the list the commissioners had few matters of importance before them and brought an unusually peaceful and pleasant meeting to a close around 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
