Which Took Much Time.
The snapping of two bolts, import
ant parts of the Goss '"Comet’’ on
which daily editions of The Daily-

tribution of yesterday's paper. One
section of the paper was delivered
yesterday afternoon and the other

| The bolts gave way just after The

so other subscribers were forced to
wait until new bolts could be made

were in a part of the press that conld
not be reached until about half.of the

A TAR HEEL TO ENTER
THE CHARLOTTE RACEB
H. Glenn Bowman Joins the Ranks of
the Racing Drivers.
Charlotte, Oct. 21.—A Tar Heel
joins the ranks of the world wamous
automobile raring drivers. H. Glenn
Bowman, who speaks with the soft
tougue of the Southland, will wedge
himself into the seat of a costly rac
ing creation here on the noted Char
lotte speedway when the signal comes
from Fred J. Wagner, internationally -
known starter, to drive into line for
the first thrilling event on Armistice
Day.
When Bowman pulls his goggles
down over his eyes to protect t’.iem
from the blinding rush of wind as he
roars around the giant saucer at a i
130-mile an hour gait with the other
renowned pilots, he will find his -
dream of seven years come true.
Back in 1619, on a sunny summer
afternoon, spectators jammed into the
old wooden grandstand of the fair
grounds at Lawrenberg, Indiana, saw
the dreaded yellow flag frantic-ally
waved in front of smoking race cars
as they rushed through the dust
clouds. "Accident on the track,” the
yellow flag screams in the language
of the roaring road.
Only nine of the ten. entered cars
Sashed by the flag waring official,
their brakes screeching as they fought
to stop. On the back stretch, through
i the settling dust clouds, could be seen
white-suited ambulance bearers lifting
a figure from a mass of tangled wreck
age.
A few weeks afterward a little
scene was enacted in a quiet room of
a hospital. Glenn, hobbling around
i on crutches, swathed in bandages, had
. finally ,capitulated to the pleadings of
; a little, white-haired woman, his
.. mother, and had promised to forsake
f the lure of the race track.
. years have passed, with Bob
Hurman, Gaston Chevrolet, Durio
Resta, Roscoe Sarles and many other
• fellow drivers of those early days
, forever through, having received their
, last checkered finish flag-death. But
- Glenn's mother has finally told her
son that tie can race again.
At last success met efforts to get
- a' race far for Bowman when Frank
Elliott, the pilot who looks like a
minister but drives like a speed-mad
fiend, finally agreed to sell his mount,
the same costly motor that Jimmy
Murphy, the Irish prince of the rac
ing heirarchy, drove to repeated vic
tories before hia sad death in a crash
at Syracuse.
Under the watchful eye* and guid
ance of the other racing drivers, Bow
man will hurt* hia car around the
steeply banked curves of the Charlotte
bowl, bringing bis racing eyes and
hardening bis nerves for the grueling
grind of the two 25-mile dashes, the

GOVERNOR McLEAN
IN LINCOLN COUNTY
Deals a Telling Blow to “So-Called
Republican Prosperity.”
By i. C. BASKERVILL
(Staff Correspondent)
Lincolnton, Oct. 21.—-Governor Mc-
Lean. fast winding up bis stumping
campaign of the western part of the
state invaded Lincoln county today
and dealt a telling blow to "ao-called
Republican prosperity.”
"The Republicans talk of ‘Repub
lican prosperity’ but these hundreds
of cotton fields I have seen where the
cotton wilt mo be ■ ph4t«k ‘ -
•the labor costs • more than the Cotton
at present prices, dots not look like
prosperity to me, neither does it look
like prosperity to you," the governor
declared.
T.ie governor also reviewed briefly
the ajis-oniplishmeiits of Democratic
administrations in the state during
the past twenty-five years, from that
of Aycock through that of Governor
Cameron Morrison, touching but brief
ly on the new measures put into ef
fect by his own administration. He
called attention to the fact that
throughout this entire period, during
which hundreds of millions of dollars
of public money had been handled,
there had not been one hint of graft
or dishonesty. He point&l to the
great highway program, which has
been carried out without fear or favor
of private interests, for the benefit of
the people, as an outstanding example
of the honesty and trustworthiness of
Democratic control in North Carolina,
Especial attention was called to the
outstanding work done in the Senate
by Senators Simmons and Overman
and of l’je many tributes paid to Sen
ator Simmons from ait sources as one
of the greatest authorities in taxntion
and government finance in the entire
country.
In conclusion, the governor called
upon the voters of Lincoln county
and the state generally to continue to
give their support in the direction of
maintaining unbroken Democratic con
trol in state affairs, as this course
was the only hope of maintaining the
rate of progress and advancement al
ready being maintained in the state.
Immediately after his speech in
Lincolnton the governor left for his
night speaking engagement, mfter
which be will go to Albemarle for his
’.ast speech of the week tomorrow
night. He will go to Greensboro Sat
urday morning for a conference with
bankers and business men of that sec
tion Saturday morniug with regard to
the cotton situation after which he
will go back to Raleigh Saturday
night.

CLARK DISCREDITS ALARM
Over the Present Condition of the
Cotton Market.
(By'lnternational News Service)
Charlotte. Oct. 21. —Discrediting
alarm felt over the present condition
of the cotton market, David Clark,
publisher of the Textile Bulletin, has
issued a statement in which is con
" tained a note of optimism and the
prediction of orderly marketing of j
the mammoth cotton crop of 1926.
‘ no nemt 4m >W»B1 '.pfcligj* (
the present condition of the cotton 1
market," said Clark, He quoted Sec
retary Hester, of the American Cot
ton Exchange, as saying that, al- 1
though the present crop is large, it 1
can be marketed in tan orderly manner. 1
fng regular channels, and that .there
no reason to apprehend A par'?. , 1
Clark said it was erroneous to be- |
lieve that due to the change that has
come about in woman's wear, there
has been enough reduction in the use ]
of cotton to cause depression in the
cotton mills. He cites figures show- ,
ing that where in 1900 the per capita ,
consumption of cotton goods in the |
United States was 55 square yards, it ]
is now 72.5 square yards, due to the ,
amount consumed by the automobile |
and other mechanical trades. (
"Women, including farm women, 1
are not going to wear cotton stockings I *
as long as silk and rayon stockings s
look better. The public, including 1
the farmers, are not going to buy '
cotton bags as long as a low tariff on 1
lute makes it possible to buy jute
bags for a lower price. There are 1
ways in which women can help both
the cotton mills and the farmers. !
That is for every one of them to buy
a cotton smock at once. Smocks are
very useful and practical and are in
style."

KING COTTON IS NOW
DUE FOR THE DISCARD |
Cleveland Farmers Are Turning to
Cowa and Poultry.
Shelby. Oct. 21.—Cleveland county ,
farmers will diversify next year.
Times are not so hard—not half r.«
acute as pessimists would make be
lieve—but the low price of cotton
has had its effect.
Judging by the conversation one
• hears among farmers on the streets
there will be few farmers in this
county who will stake their all on
. cotton next year. The lesson this
i year was too exacting to be forgor
. ten before another planting season.
It wasn't particular foresight that
makes the cotton flop bearable this
year. Rather it was a generous work
• ing of nature, according to a con ;en
, sus of opinion among farm leaders.
i However, Cleveland farmers did set
. aside more acreage for hay and feed
, crops this yerir than last, and that
■ small diversification, together with a
great abundance of all field and
fruit crops, prevented what might
have been a se.’ious situation.
With the present situation pre
vailing, cotton selling low, everybody
offering advice and none confident
enough to act upon it. farm leaders
—those who think ahead of the cal
endar—have ranched the conclusion
that in the coming year chickens and
cows will supplant cotton as the
cash crop for Cleveland county.
Which doesn't necessarily mean
that there will be no cotton planted
next year, but every available acre
will not be given over to cotton. In
stead the farmers of Ceveland coun
ty will play safe to the extent that
there will be enough- food and feed
(or his family and his live stock.
»nd in case cotton goes bad, enough
incoming cash from chickens and
dairy products to take care of his
taxes and necessary cash expendi
tures.

that the tropical storm was heading
too far east to menace the cotton belt
and rumors that one of the private

indication of 17.200.(XX1 bales appeared
largely responsible for an opening de
cline of 5 to 9 points in the cotton
market today.
Heavy December liquidation sent
t'.ie price off to 12.45 and a little
more southern hedge selling developed,
but trade interests were reported good
buyers of May contracts at the 13
cents level. There also was consider
able covering by recent sellers which
steadied the market at net declines of
about 6 to 10 points. Prices were 2
