' 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.
