Cahprrus voters again showed their
preferenee for Demoeratie county and
i State officers Tuesday when they went
i to the polis and pi led up majorities
f ranging from 7C2 to 1,292 for the
i Democrats. The majorities for the
most part are about the same as those
polled two years ago and are much
| in excess of the totals of four years
: ago when the county went Democratic
| again after many yenrs of Republican
[ reginnf.
The Kannapolis vote was the decid

when Democratic majorities ranging
i from . r >o<) to 800 were reported from
that town .there was no further doubt
about the outcome. The Democratic
candidates came through the rest of

again led the ticket, piling up an un
official majority of 1,292 votes over
It. M. Housed, Mr. Elliott ran at
the head of his ticket everywhere and
with Miss McEaehern carried one pre
cinct that voted a majority for only
these two Democratic candidates. Mias
MoEnohern ran second on the ticket
with a majority of 947.
Complete returns on the State tick
et will not be available until the vote
is officially canvassed tomorrow morn
ing. However, it is known that Sen
ator Overman, Judge John M. Oglesby
and Congressman R. 1., Doughton ran
well with the leaders of the ticket and (
their majorities will average about
875.
Solicitor Zeb V. Long had no op
position so his vote in the county
is close to 5.000.
Jn the race between F. J. Haywood
and A. N. James for the State Senate
the complete vote is also lacking but
Mr. Haywood also ran well with the
leaders on his ticket. In 21 of the
22 precincts he received a majority of
042 and the missing precinct is expect
ed to add at least 180 to his total,
having given such a majority to the
other candidates on the Democratic
ticket.
In 14 of the 22 precincts Setfator
Overman had 2.302 and Hayes 2,208.
In 1? precincts Doughton had 2,483
and Pool 2.308. In 11 precincts Og

The Concord Daily Tribune
I THINKS DISCOVERY OF
, CYANITE IMPORTANT
| Prof. Greaves-Walker Expresses Sur
j prise That It Is' of No Value,
Tribune Bureau
Sir Wa.ter Hotel
Raleigh. Nov. .7.-. Surprise that re
porter! discovery of (lejtoslts nf cynnite
in western North Carolina should huve
been termed ns of no value in Wash
ington was expressed today by A. F.
Greaves-Walker, professor of ceramic,
engineering at State College.
“1 was surprised," the professor de
clared, “at the dispntehes which came
from a scientist, if tie was quoted
qorreerly, saying that there is no
commercial value in the product with
out further investigation than in the
simple report of the discovery.
“It is unusual for a scientists to
pass such judgment without more com
plete investigation. I consider that
the discovery of eyanite is at least
worthy hf a complete research to as
certain positively if it can be deter
mined to be of any vnlue. The fact
that the substance is so near to the
great markets of the country should i
be worthy of consideration.”
That the discovery of the substance
is not new, but that it has just been !
made public was revealed by Professor |
Greaves-Walker. who spent several I
days last summer with the owner of.
the reported find at Burnsville. As- 1
ter examining the mineral he advised ,
the owners ttiat there was nothing to
get excited about until an extensive |
and exhaustive study had been made |
of the deposit and the physical charac
teristics nf the material. Professor
Greaves-Walker brought ba<|k witlh
him several siweimens of eyanite
crystals.
. Fgom observation. Prof. Greaves-
Walker thinks that the deposits of the
state ate bivge add -is of ifce opiah.a
Kiat. while the cost of the experi
mental or research work necessary to
prove them out would he considerable,
that it would be worth the cost.

WOMAN MAGISTRATE
’ CLEANED ’EM OCT, SAYS ROSS
- Couldn’t Handle Bootleggers in Ran-:
holph Any Other Way.
Asheboro, Nov. .3.— (A>) —“The men
couldn't handle, the tmotleggeis so we
got a woman justice of t'.ie peace.
She cleaned 'em out," declared former
State Senator Arthur Ross, byway of
introducing Mrs. Emrnny Gray, Ran
dolph county's one anil only woman
, magistrate.
"There's mighty little liquor to be
found around Level Cross nowadays,”
averred several males who had ob
served conditions in Mrs. Gray's do
main. They added that things were
different from the old days when men
administered, the township law.
Since ascending to office (tier com
mission was gratßcd by the-1920 gen
eral assembly) MMi. Gray is said to
have taken an active interest in poli
ties.
She is of the Democratic faith, and
her party is particularly active in
Randolph right now. The fight for
the county's 12.000 votes is so hot that
j it has gotten down to house-to-house
canvass basis. Last election the Re
publicans won by only 000 majority,
j This year the Democrats say they're
I going to take it by 200.

STATE DEMOCRACY
GOES TO VICTOR!
ON 010 MAJORITY
Every Congressman, Solic
itor and Candidate for
State Office Elected at
the Polls Tuesday.
REPUBLICAN VOTE
CUT IN COUNTIES
It Is Said Sampson Elect
ed Democrats by Small
Majority.—State Major
ity More Than 100,000.
Charlotte. Nov. .3.— OP) —The entire
North Carolina delegation of congress
men, ten Democrats, the junior United
States senator, Lee S. Overman, Dem
ocrat and the Demoeratie state ticket
were returned b.v heavy majorities in
yesterday’s biennial election incom
plete unofficial returns from every sec
tion of the state received here up to
noon today indicated. The majority
on statewide races was indicated as in
excess of 100.000 by which the Dem
ocratic party led two years ago.
The referendum bill providing for
$2,000,000 bond issue as the founda
tion for u revolving loan fund from
which World War veterans may bor
row money to buy homes was leading
in scattered returns, blit with a very
light vote cast in connection with it.
The same.situation applied to the con
stitutional amendment providing that
the state election board shall officially
declare election results instead of wait
ing for the- legislature to convene.
The eleetion was featured by the
comparatively light vote in many sec
tions of the state and the overturn of
dominant parties in the county races.
The Democrats are claiming Sampson
county by a small majority. Samp
son Hiii* has been a Republican strong
hold. In the tenth congressional dis
trict a number of normally Republi
cans counties went Democratic in the
county races, and some normally Dem
ocratic counties were reported as hav
ing gone Republican.
Defihite returns were lacking in a
large number of counties, although
majorities based on telephone reports
from polling places were available.
In most of these counties it was stat
ed that the actual figures would not
be available until the precinct officials
go to their county seats tomorrow with
official returns.
The last uncertainty regarding the
congressional delegation was removed
shortly before noon when figures from
two-thirds of the precincts showed a
lead of 7,100 for Congressman Zebu
lon Weaver and his election was an
nounced. A few minutes later R.
Kenneth Smathers, Republican oppon
ent, conceded Mr. Weaver’s re-election.
Last night Mr. Smathers had asserted
that he could not concede until all re
turns were in.

-1 ing sought by the police as the man 1
who fired the shots at Breedlove. j
The election judge will recover, hos
■ pita! attaches state, unless oompliea- j
tions set in.
Following a meeting of representa- j
tive citizens this morning a reward
of *SOO was offered for file apprehen- j
sion of parties guilty of throwing a
bomb in Brevard yesterday. The ex-1
plosion occurred directly in front of
Republican hendquarters and shattered
windows on botli sides of the street, j
practically demolishing a parked auto
mobile. Mayor C. W. Whitmire is
head of a committee which is investi- i
gating the bomb Throwing, ami ar-.
rests are expected.

it is alleged, when he sought to inter-
I vene in an eleetion argument near a
: polling place in Gloucester township, (
Transylvania county, will recover. He

i THE COTTON MARKET .
•I i
. Opened Barely Steady at Advance of
. j 2 Points to Decline of H* Points. ' i
. j New York. Nov. 3.—OP)—The cot- (
. ton market opened barely steady today 1
i at an advance of 2 points to a decline
j of 10 points, all active months being j
lower under heavy over-holiday hedg
ing b.v the South, combined with liqui
dation and local selling.
, January sold off to 12.55, active
months generally allowing net losses
of 9 to 15 points before the end of the j
first hour.' Trading was active Sell
ing was promoted by a favorable view j
of the weekly weather report and a
j tendency to increase estimates of the
I crop, but Liverpool and the trade were
fair buyers, while 'there also was eon- j
siderable covering at the decline. i
l A southwestern authority reported
that advices pointed to an increase of
7.1 over the final report of acreage
harvested lrfst year which would mean
a crop of 18,200,000 bales, but' added
that a considerable portion might not
be picked, owing to labor and jieather
conditions at the low price. ,
Cotton futures opened fairly steady. '
