' Governor Pulls Trigger of One of Rig Guns Be fore Mounted Review. Fort Bragg, Oct- ? On behalf of all the people of North Carolina Governor Clyde R. Eoey this after noon pulled what he called the trig ger of an earth-shaking cannon and tonight witnessed the most spectacu lar military show that has ever been staged in America, and very likely in the world, since no other nation en the earth lays even a claim to the .ma chinery of wonder that was demon strated in tonight's mounted review.. Twenty-six searchlights, with an aggregate candle power of more than 20 billion, turned night into a thing of fantastic beuaty, a thing that no body could begin to imagine had any thing to do with death. But here was the defensive might of the nation, marshaled in ten acres of ground. Here were 20 of the 24 anticraft rifles that the republic owns, and here all the portable searchlights except a handful on the Pacific coast. Governor Hoey, flanked on either side by a General, and with his own adjutant general, J. Van B. Metts, close by, witnessed the spectacle on behalf of the whole people of toe State, but a good segment of the pop ulation were here to see it on their own behalf. Figures from the pro vost marshal's headquarters were be wildered figures, but Sunday's guess that there would be 40,000 seemed conservative. The official guess at the hour of the beginning of the re view was 50,000. Stupendous though the spectacle was, there was no suggestion of war about it. General William Bryden, new commandant of Fori Bragg, and General Fulton Q. (X Gardner, de- j fense commander in the recent war exercises here, devised-the night not to show off what a powerful weapon the army has davcfrped but solely as a friendly gesture toward the peo ple of North Carolina, the civilian army that wrote a new chapter in the tactics bdoks of the army last week whn the civilian warning net worked. FARMVILLE DOWNS SNOW tni.T. _ 6-0 Last Thursday afternoon Coach ? * Barrel's huskies traveled to snow Hill to repeat their earlier triumph over their old rivals. This time, however, owing to the advantage of playing on their own field, the Snow Hill boys held the Farmvilie lads to a much smaller score. The lone tally was scored in the third period when Captain Ted car ried the ball for 7 yards to crocs the goal line on an off-tackle play. Af ter the touchdown Billy Oglesby en deavored to score the extra point on a linebuck but was unsuccessful by about three inches of crossing Hie goal line. As the closing whistle blew the FarmviUe boys were within indies of scoring another touchdown. During most of the game the Farm viUe men kept the hall in their op ponents half of the field but seemed content not to try to score. Many of the students were able to attend the game because Supt J. H. Moore excused those desiring to see the game from part of their last daas. The faculty was also well represented by many of the teach ers including Mr. Elbert Coats, who coached the team two years ago. This week Coach Barrdl has been drilling his team vary hard for their game with Scotland Neck on Friday.

Turn age, 89, a pioneer citizen, highly esteemed planter of Pitt county, and a gentleman of the old school, died at the Turnage home stead near Farmville Tuesday morn ing^ at three o'clock, after an illness of several weeks. Funeral services, which were at-: tended by hundreds of relatives and friends, were conducted from the home Wednesday afternoon at threei o'clock by the Rev. Julius Moore, of Whitakers, assisted by Rev. W. D. Ram? of Saratoga, and Rev. J. B. Roberts, of Farmville, Primitive Baptist ministers. Interment was made in Hollywood cemetery. Mr. Turnage, son of the late Robert E. and Nancy Joyner Turn age, was the last surviving member of a family of ten brothers and sis ters. He was married to Miss Carrie Elizabeth Speight sixty four years ago, and the couple had been at home to friends and relatives on each anniversary since the celebration of their golden wedding. He had been a faithful member of Tyson church for thirty-five years and was a char ter member of the Farmville Sep tuagenarian Society, attending regu larly the meetings held here each year. A devoted husband and father, a good neighhor, an understanding friend and a man of highest integrity kindly and benevolent, he will be sorely missed . in this community where he was reversed and honored by young and old, white and black. In paying a tribute to his frend, the Rev. Mr. Moore said, "His life was an open book to be seen and read by all men. Through all of his suffering he was patient and sub missive, exemplifying tftrougnout ma life a Christian love which sustained him and his companion through alt trials. Friens, faithful to the end, are few, our brother never failed." Surviving are his widow and seven sons: J. R., of Durham. M. L. and D. L., of Greenville, C. A., of Wash ington, J. M., of Richmond, Va., A. C. and L. E. Turaage, of Farmville, eight grandchildren and one great grandchild. Active pallbearers were: A, B, Moore, B. 0. Turaage, W. D. and R. B. Fields, F. D.

Sixty aimed motorboats were believed en route along tHe South Chiiiaeoast tonight to add an assault by river to Japa nese overland drives against Canton. The fairly'large boats added an ex traordinary touch to the South' China cahfrpaign, carrying a sort of naval warfare into the shallow waterways athwart Canton where heavy war craft would run aground. A Swatow, Eastern Kwangtung pronvince, report said the "mosquito fleet" passed southwestward, escort ed by a mother ship, apparently on its_ way to the Pearl river deiia at the' head of which lies the already threatened Kwangtung provincial capital. ? ' " Ta ??1?1? iw Unnor. U was popularly aoouiiivu ui uvue kong, Crown Colony, south east of Canton at the river month, that the Japanese were determined to reach Canton by November 3, the 22nd anniversary of the proclamation of Hirohito, now emperior, as crown prince of, Japan. The Japanese command, with at least 60,000, soldiers already 'on the march?most within 60 miles of Can ton?was adding reinforcements. Strong indi<ationS were that the actual battle for the metropolis might take place within another week. For' eign military observers believed only an exceptional turn of events could block the better-equipped Japanese.' j ' More Troops. T" New troops from neighboring kwangsi province continued to arrive j by junk and sampan at Canton and were rushed immediately to tlm Chi nese front to the east \ The Kwangtung and Canton de fense army was made up of hundreds of thousands of Southern Chinese,] mostly unseasoned and ill-equipped. Chinese military authorities still were insistent that the "major defense oT Canton had not started. The largest Chinese fofces faced the apparently relentless Japanese advance near Sheklung, 50 miles east of Canton. | The Japanese reported they car ried Tsehgshin few miles north of Sheklupg, and that a merchanized detachment wasv steadily nearing Tsungfa, 40 miles northeast of their goal. The Chinese vigorously denied that the invasion had reached Shek lung. A separate Japanese columjWas driving'across flat delta country to ward the Bocca Tigris forts, 30 miles southeast of Canton. The Japanese saidthey had entered Sheklung after intense air raids. Casualties ran into the thousands. . ' ? ' 1 ROAD ACnmRNTS ""w t 1 7 vjw TAKE 105 LIVES I IN SEPTEMBER < ? ' -?:?
