bis talk to an outline of the State
plan of organization, laying special
emphasis on the need of organization
and co-operation. He said he had
fixed his present goal ns 240,000 Re
publican votes jo > the fall, predicting
that if that many persons vote the
Republican ticket J. J. Hayes will
be sent to the Senate, O. F. Poole to
Congress and Republicans elected to
office in at least sixty counties in the
state.
' “To get tuts vote,’’ Chairman Jack
son said, “we are asking n 20 per
cent, increase in the Republican vote
in every county in the state. To get
this increase we must have syste
matic organization and whole-hearted
co-operation.” It was then he ex
plained that the State has been di
vided into two districts, eastern and
western, each county into township
groups and each township group into
precinct groups.
“All of the groups arc separate
units working for a specific purpose.”
he said, “but eo-operating all along
the line.”
Mr. Jackson intimated that the
Democrats of the State owe their
past success to underhand methods at
the polls. “We can eahhy the State
if we get a fair chance," he salll, “and
t’je only way to get that chance is to
so familiarize ourselves with the reg
istration books that we can challenge
the vote of every one not eligible to
vote.” 111 this connection be urged
the various workers to study tbe reg
istration books, see that -the party
voters are registered and then see that
they vote.
Further along in- his talk Chairman
Jackson made another charge against
the Democrats.when he said he had
been about the. State and was greatly
encouraged at what he had seen, add
ing; “Mr. Poole, I am certain if yon
get a fair count and our people chal
lenge those not entitled to vote, you
will go to Congress.”
Under the plan of organization for
for each county. Chairman Jackson
said, there will be a township commit
tee and chairman and a precinct com
mittee and chairman, the latter com
mittee to be composed of three ormftre
members. Each precinct, he said,
should have 25 wdrkers.
He explained further that State
headquarters are to be moved soon to
Greensboro and that lie was sending
a letter to every Republican in the
State. He added that by 1928 he
hoped to have a card index of every
Republican in the stnte and the names
of every prospective Republican and
the date lie would become of age.
Mr. Jackson went to Morgnnton
from Concord.
The following wore named on tbe
county executive committee, there be
ing two persons from each township:
IV. Ed Harris. Mrs. Jake Tucker,
W. G. Alilson, C. D. Blackwelder.
Miss Carrie Emerson, J. L, Johnson,
Mrs. IV. L. Yost, E. E. Lady, Mrs.
P. It. Blackwelder, W. E. Kluttz,

MONTGOMERY MAN IS
FLOGGED BY B^ND
Taken Out By Robed and Hooded
Men—Band Then Orders Turner
Blake and Family Off.
Aeheville, Aug. 28.—From Troy,
county scat of Montgomery county,
comes news of tbe flogging Fridny
night of last week of Carcnce
Hogan, white man, who lives about
1 two miles from the town. According
Ito information received here, four or
'five cars .drove into Troy nbout 8
'o’clock Friday night, the occupants
I clothed in robe and mask. The cars
proceeded to the courthouse where
the entire bund was mobilized uml
then left for Hogan’s home. Several'
curious people followed the cars for j
some distance, but were warned by'
leaders of the band to return home
or suffer the consequence of their.j
acta.
' Reaching Hogan's home, some of!
the members of the masked band
called Hogan out of bed to the door,
on pretext of getting him to help ex
tricate a car from the mud. When
the door was opened, several of the
masked ' men entered the house nnd
took Hogan out by force amid the
screams of his excited' wife nnd chil- j
dren and the prote t» of his aged
Hogan was carried to Vestal school
house where he was whipped with a
leather strap. After the whipping,
Hogan was carried back home, but l
not until he had promised under
threat of a pistol to mend his con

Aftter taking Hogan back home,
the masked band proceeded to the
home of Turner Blake, a short dis
tance from the Hogan home, gained
entrance in some manner and warn
ed the Blakes that their presence ill
the community was no longer de
sired, nnd gave them a limited time
to move out.
The masked band, after visiting
the Blake home, again returned and
gathered around the courthouse in
Troy) aml(,remained fdr some time be
fore driving out of town. Several of
the men are said to have been recog
nized, but 110 effort was made by of
ficers of the law to take a hand in
the matter.
Hogan is said to have received a
threatening letter, some two weeks
prior to the whipping, bearing the
initials "K. K. K.,” but was inclined
to believe it was the work of certain
persons unfriendly to him and not
that of the klan.
M. 11. MENZIES VICTIM
OF BANDIT ON HIGHWAY
Bloodhounds Hunt For Highway
Robber Holding Up Mountain Man.
Asheville. Aug. 25. —Bloodhounds
from Asheville were called early this
morning to Connelly Springs, where
search for the highwayman who
waylaid M. H. Menzies, prominent
merchant of that town, earlier in
the night.
Menzies :s in a serious condition
as a result of a blow on the head re
ceived as he was walking home after
closing his store late night. He got a
glimpse of his assailant but could
1 not tell in the darkness whether, he
j was a white man or a negro. A

Mountain negro who fled for his life
1 before nu infuriated mob after run-1
ning over and instantly killing a
15-month-old baby, are about to dis
perse, with leaders confident that the
black has reached friefids or has
made hie way to a highway and
! caught a car out of the mountains.
Thursday night little Clarence!
Melton, 15 months old, was taking
his first toddling steps clinging to
his mother's hand, when a car run- 1
ning without lights and driven by!
Mills swept down the highway,
. caught up the baby and dashed its
brains out against the pavement, l
j after carrying the little body nearly
40 feet. The negro did not stop but l
' kept on going, eluding officers when ;
stopped him to give « warning about
his lights, ignorant of the crime that
had just occurred.
i Talk of mob violence, which was 1
heard freely on the night and follow
ing the accident, has subsided but
the situation is still tense and should
the negro be caught the officers
would lose no time in getting him
out of the way before trouble could
be started. I
For two days nnd nights citizens
nnd officers beat the mountains sur
rounding Black Mountain in an ef
fort to locate the negro and so vio
lent was the feeling that grew up as'
the news of the nccident spread that
negroes employed in the village of
Moutreat threatened to walk cut.!
They were persuaded to remain by
the officers who promised them pro
tection and the panic passed almost
as quickly as it had appeared. They
were gointf about their work as usual

Automobile Safety in One Finger

Ira Vail, national dirt-track champion, demonstrating the new safety

way, N. J., and to racing drivers and ofliciala. Left to right: E. L. Thomp
son, Chairman Contest Committee, A.A.A., Fred Wagner, starter at the
big races, Ira Vail and Harry Hartz.
AFTER four years of rigid test
an important safety device for
• automobiles has been perfect
ed in the vacuum gear shift which
makes the shifting of gears as
simple as retarding the spark. By
the use of a partial vacuum ob
tained from the engine all faults of
electrical, mechanical and magnetic
gear shifts are avoided.
For beginners and those nervous
when driving in traffic the vacuum
gear shift removes their great han
dicap since no complicated coordin- v
ation of leg and arm movements is
necessary. The full braking power
of the engine may be used descend
ing steep dangerous grades. Left
hand turns and stopping and start
ing in dense traffic becomes a simple
question of moving one finger.
The gears can be shifted by this
finger without taking either hand
from the wheel. It is only necessary
to move the speed selector just un
der the rim of the wheel and then
throw out the clutch as usual. A
special latch makes it impassible to

Boston with the driver of the test '
