PRESIDENT GIVES HIS
VIEWS ON CENTRALIZATION
Tirtihs States Should Have More
Rights Than They Have Now.
Washington, ' Oct* 27.—OP)—Presi
dent Coolidge sees much good behind
’ the present ..widespread aigtation
against decentralization of authority
_ in Washington.
But he feels that if legislation like
file federal inheritance tax is repealed, i
leaving that field open to the states, ]
such a course will impose upon the
state. governments another respousi- j
bilit.v for carrying out the fluctuations I
thus given them.
An outline of the President's views
made available today at the White
House, disclosed that he believes it • '
would be pneferable to have the states
assume many functions of gvern- ,
ment that are now carried out in co- i
operation with the federal govern- j
ment.

THE CLUB WOMAN
Htr Privilege to Strive For Civic
Betterment and to Promcte Com
munity Ideals.
Statesville, Oct. 27 — (A*) —The time
when women who were members of a
woman's club were considered "as a
peculiar creature” is gone, and tlic
woman’s sphere today has been en
larged with the modern view of life,
declared Mrs. M. G. Bowles, of this
city, former president ylof the Wom
an’s Club of this city.
It hasn't been a very long While,
said Mrs. Bowles, when a Woman who
was known as a club woman was con
sidered one who neglected her homo
and children and her church, but to
-1 day “n woman is thought a little odd
I if she isn't identified with some of the
great woman's movements of t-iio,
I world." ’
| "The majority of million.! of dub
women of America,” said Mrs. Bowles,
"are home keepers— the makers of
men and the honor of our nation.
They are women of judgment and
achievement, busy women, whose ev
ery hour must count, whose precious
moment must be carefully planned to
accomplish the multitudinous duties '
moment must be carefully plauned to
criminate in the endeavors outside
.ill* heme." ..
Being a club woman, declared Mrs.
Bowles. Is no easy task, "but one of
definite duties and responsibilties.
The world now credits her as a mem
ber of society, a newly awakened cit
izen, with some earnest purpose, and
her influence is felt and her indorse
ment sought in all branches of civic
and social life.”
| Discussing the "danger of the wife
and mother engrossed" in her home
life, and the value of the clubs to
the women tliemselves, Mrs. Bowles
snid:
"Women recognize the jdatlger of
the wife and mother engrossed in
household affairs, little by little al
lowing the walls of life to narrow and
close about her, shutting ont the light
of outside comradeship, making a
prison of what should be her highest
• joy. ... I.t is not the best mother
who limits her endeavors to the four
walls of her home. She needs to
make occasional excursions to the out
side to bring to her husband and chil
dren tlie larger view of life, the
breadth of vision that comfcs with
contact with other minds and spirits."-
But aside from the value of the
clubs to the women themselvms, MrR.
Bowles believes the womeiw owe a
, service to the commtinity, as much
as the men do, and that clubs afford
an opportunity for women, collective
ly. to render that service.
“It is ifte club woman's privilege.”
she said, "to strive for greater en
lightenment, to lend a hand for civic
betterment, to promote community
ideals, to foster interest and sympa
thy among women and to put into
the common atmosphere of society all
the elements of hope and service that
it needs.”

COURT CONDEMNS
WHIPPING CONVICTS
Practice Belongs to the Dark Ages
Declares Judge John ,M. Oglesby.
Asheville, Oct. 26.—Condemnation
of the practice of whipping prisoners
nt the Buncombe county eoffviet camp !
was made by Jr.dge John Oglesby, |
presiding over the October term of j
Superior Court, when file grand jury I
returned its report after investigat
ing flogging at the prison camps.
Whippings belong to the dark ages,
according to the judge. The court
in referring to the practice, said: ;
"The day of barbarous and cruel
treatment of convicts has passed front
our civilization and if the chain gangs
of the state of North Carolina persist;
in treating convicts in a cruel man
ner, the courts will not send a con
victed person to serve in such camps.
The day of the Spanish Inquisition l
has not come in America and no court
of justice in our state will be a part. |
to aiding and abetting the adoption
of its methods in the treatment of |
our criminal classes.
"To take a prisoner with a ball
and chain around •liis leg, strap him I
on a barrel and beat him unmerciful- i
ly is not a reflection upon the prison
eg. but a reflection upon our civiliza-1
tion." |

Paris, Oct. 27 C4 3 ) —A naval dem
onstration before Athens is a possible
league of nations move, should the
government of Premier Pangalos de
cline to bow to the league council's
decision that it must cease all hostil
ities and remove all Greek forces
from Bulgarian soil.
The council hopes and believes that (
tht. Greek government will accept' the
decision, but it was learned ill au
thoritative circles today that the ad
visability of a naval blockade has al
ready been discussed privately by the
council.
Although M. Carapanos, the Greek
minister, told the council today that
both Greece and Bulgaria had reached
a direct accord through the good of
fices of Roumania to suspend hqsitili
| ties and retire behind their frontiers, I
the Bulgarian representative declared I
j they had no confirmation of this re-1
I port.
I Indeed, M. Morloff, speaking for
the Sofia government, informed the
council that a direct entente with
Greece was utterly impossible because,
of Greece’s present persistent refusal
J to listen to Bulgaria's repeated offers
to appoint a joint commission to in
quire into the border trouble.

,ed that an offer has been made to
j Robert Moore, of High Point, who
I operates lines from there to Win

I It appears that Mr. Moore would

that have been approached, which
include two big companies between
here and Raleigh want enough to re
pay them for the arduous pioneer
ing they have done, the fiord risks
and the due to early bitter
competition.
It was hinted when the Moore of
fer was learned that the State Cor
poration Commission would not ob
ject to consolidation, might even'
look upon it with a friendly eye.
Efforts to get three lines between

ascribed to the J. G- Brill company

VICIOUS BULL IN
BATTLE WITH MAN
fill
Latter Seizes Maddened Animal by
the Horns and Throws Him. •
Kinston. Oct. 2(l.—Attacked by
vicious hull in a marsh on the shores •
of Onslow bay. Nelson Genry, a farm* ;
er, had a narrow escape from death .
or serious injury, according to an
account had here. Charged by the. '
I animal three times and it liable to :
| make his escape by running, the man
sized the bull by the horns and threw •
ii. then cut its throat with a pocket '"
knife.
An element of comedy entered into
ilie incident, according to the report'
brought to this city. A companion,''f
who was unarmed, remained at the ■
edge of the swamp while Gentry, car
rying an ancient powder and cap rifle, i
tried to separate the bull, intended
for slaughter, from a herd grazing '
on the salt water grass in the low
gwumd. The animal became enraged—:
at sight of Gentry, snorted, pawed :
the ground and then charged him.
The gun cap would not fire. The
man, two hundred yards from a tree, S
j had no time to escape. He stepped j
to one side as the bull approached j
him. The beasl turned and lunged ,
toward him again. Gentry again
stepped out of its path. Thethird
time, in desperation, he grabbed the !
bud's horns as it passed him. |f
The man discovered that with the
right hold on the animal’s horns it '
was comparatively easy to throw it. >
Literally throwing the bull. Gentry /
held its head down with one hand
while he opened a pocket knife and
proceeded to stab it in the throat. !
This operation was interrupted when
his pocJtct-sized terrier, joining (at !
the battle for the first time, raced,
up and bit the bull in the flank.
Roaring angrily, the beast regained !
its feet and had to be caught and
thrown again.
Gentry stabbed and slashed the an- <j
imal's throat many times before he -
succeeded in severing the main ar-'j
tory. His companion, who had
