Cars have to be dHven with a greater degree of'care, and often iln the mornings with their lights still burning. The sun even several hours after sunrise, still has the appedrance of the moon, so much Is its light obscured by the smoke clouds. All objects distant from the eye a hundred yards or more appear hazy, and yellowish in color. Oldest residents of the community say they have never seen it this smoky here before. OtOSS mu.

Thib decline left in its wake a large amount of loans, slow but collectible. The association will lend ihon^ on that class of paper.” He said that operations would be gin next week, and will fill a need the federal reserve system does not! supply. He said the organization had! already done great good in bolster ing confidence, and Jthat .the first call for 10 per cent of subscriptions next week would star.t the fiow of actual benefits. He declared he had no fear of losing any of the $200,600 his hank subscribed, and instead fully expects to collect six per cent interest.

Many Places. W. H. Tison, who soured merchan dise and money -“tSn two bad checks from two Raeford stores several weeks a^o, was sentenced to from one to two years in the state prison by Judge Midyette in court Monday. In the first case against Tison the state took a nol pros with leave. In the second false pretense case, Tison pleaded guilty, and was sentenced. On his commitment papers the judge directed that it be noted that Tison is a dope fiend and under physical disability. TIsbn was arrested in Laurinburg on ,Thursday afternoon of last week, after . he tried the same game he tried here, on a Laurinbitrg whole sale grocery house. When the Laurinburg. store refused to give him cash on his check, Tison wrote out a check for the merchandise be had honghi, idgning the check W. C. Mitc^elL His actions were suspic ious and the store manager called the police. ,whereupon Tison immed- iitely -seized the check he had writ ten out and tore it up.. The hank on which it was written said they had no account in that name. In jail Tison tried to appear as though he were crazy. Officers brought him to Raeford for trial. Tison is wanted in at least half a dozen towns in North and Soi^ Carolina, the sheriff’s office said. The office received calls from a dozen, places, asking about him. He seems to have used the same game every where, that of posing as a highway contractor and buying feed and sup plies and issuing a worthless check for more than the amount of the goods, so as, to secure cash. Tison used a number of aliases, among them being W. N. Tison, W. L. Wilson, and W. C. Mitchell.

There are no forest fires burning in Hoke County now, according to a statement from Forest Warden H. R. McLean Tuesday. He said that he and his men had been able to check all fires so far, but added that check ing some of them could have been accomplished in half the time if the fires had been reported sooner. War den McLean said that people would often wait two days or more before reporting a forest fire, and then they woul(r come to town and look him up instead of reporting the fire to one of the many district or deputy Forest Wardens in the county. Most fires In Hoke County were traced to hunters, Mr. McLean said. He also called attention to the fact that the Conservation Department is considering closing the hunting sea son unless hunters are more careful about fires. Besides the County Warden, other district and deputy wardens to whom fires should be reported, are: C. D. Newton, Red Springs, Rt. 1. District Forest Warden; Deputies: Frank Everly, Red Springs, N.

Are Asked to Re tain tbe Apportionment Plan of 1928, Not New Con gressional Basis. Washington, Nov. 16—In a de cision which may affect decisively the complexion of the 1632 demo cratic national convention, John W. Davis held today delegates should he chosen on a basis of the present congress rather than the new con gressional apportionment. Da-vls, himself the 1924 presiden tial candidate and a former presi dent of the American Bar associa tion, gave this interpretation of the 1928 convention resolution defining the selection of delegates at the re quest of Jouett Shouse, executive director of the committee. The ques tion involved 32 states. “Should the committee determine to adopt this Interpretation I think it would be acting not only in accord with the resolution but following the course least calculated to create con fusion and controversy.” ° In making public Davis’ letter democratic headquarters emphasized that final determination of repre sentation in the next convention — a question troubling leaders of both parties — rests “entirely in the hands of the democratic national (Continued on back page.)

POLITICS AND PERSONAUTIES The personality of Jack Gamer, of Texas, conceded to be the next Speaker of the/House, may play an Important part in American history. Mr. Garner is practically everything that his predecessor and close friend, the late Nicholas Longworth, was not. He is the frontiersman type, a bluff, hearty man whose careless dress and ruffled white coiffure was a contrast to Longworth’s correctness and suavity. Whereas “Nick” was some thing of a dilettante in politics, whose sympathies were,formed by his aris tocratic surroundings and his mem bership in a privileged class. Gamer 1b by environment and personal con viction allied With what he calls “the little man." Throughout his career Id Cod$tq99 h9 bka fought Andrew. Mellon and the tax schemes designed to bear most heavily on people of small incomes. The two men had this much in com mon: . they were both sociable and popular. But Longworth was the urbane story-teller and violinist while Gamer’s likeabillty lies in his plain speaking and jolly temperament. The Texan Is extremely belligerent, and few members of his party can equal him in vociferous, unwearying attack on his opponents. His pun gent epithets, forceful gestures, and his ruddy face and vivid blue eyes invariably hold attention. How he will function as leader of the con trolling Instead of the opposing fac tion will ho interesting to watch.

Waynick last night promptly discarded his “specs” and proceeded to give his tall, heavier and belligerent antagonist a fast en gagement on Main street while an in terested group of spectators looked on. Afterward the dtlver admitted his speed and expressed regret for caus ing Mr. and Mrs. Waynick to have to jump from the path of his fast moving car. Mr. Waynick shook haftds with him and called the mat ter closed, adding the assurance that he intends to replace the man’s shirt which was wrecked in the eii counter. Mr. Waynick, ._*wl^) is editor oi' The High Point Enterprise, and Mrs. Waynick had just stepped from the curb to go to their car parked across the street when the other car swerv ed suddenly down upon them. They were barely able to' jump from its path, and he cautioned the driver about his handling of the au- tomoble. The sharp retort inviting a fight was as promptly met, and eye-witnesses said the local editor kept the situation well in hand. The fracas was a “gentleman’s affair” and no police action will be an af termath, it is understood.

BAZAAR FRIDAY, DECEMBER 4th. Cleveland, O., Nov. 14.—United States Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota said today that politi cal corruption in the high places of government is bringing the nation's elections to the level of an auction. Xhe chairman of the senate in vestigating committee. addressing the City Club, made a sweeping de nunciation of “selfish and greedy interests that are buying political parties and candidates. Unless the American people, he said, stamp out the corrupt prac tices of these Interests, they need not expect from their government those things they should have in time of financial depression. He declared the United States faces the gravest economic problem ever confronting a civilized people because “men in the high places of govern ment dare not represent the rank and file for fear of cutting oft' the stream of gold that floats them into office.” Painting a sordid picture of cor- reputation, Senator Nye asserted the time was near when an election would acco'mplish nothing more than if the secretary of each state auc tioned off places in the federal gov ernment. “I have one Idea ho-w we might obtain responsible government,” he observed.
