PARADE MORE THAN THREE MILES LONG MARCHtS BY The Greatest Political Catherine in the History of Randolph Took Place Yes terdayCounty Will Be in Republican Column. Asliboro, X. C, Oct. 31. It is very much to be doubted if the oldest inhabi tant of Randolph or for that matter any other county in the Old North State ever saw such a political gathering as was held in this town today. It was a Republican mt ting held in honor of J. Elwood Cox, the Republican nominee for governor, and Zel Walser, candidate for Congress. The oerwhelming size of the crowd and its extraordinary enthusiasm has put an effectual damper on the 'Democ racy of this county , from: which it will not recover for many a day to come. The speakers of the day were J. El wood Cox, Zeb. V. Walser and Walter R. Henry, and right well did they meas ure up to the occasion. The people be gan assembling early in the morning from all parts of the county, in buggies, wagons, carts, horseback, on foot and by train.

A minimum of 819 votes to he cast by thirty states is claimed for Taft and Sherman by Gen. Charles H,- Grosvenor, the "Sage of Athens," in his political forecast made public today. General Grosvenor was in Congress for more than twenty years. He is better know, however, as the prog nosticator of the Republican party. General Grosvenor concedes thirteen states, with 143 electoral votes, to Bryan and Ki rn. lie has looked the field over carefully, and has r ached the conclusion that conditions do not justify the pre-, diction of a larger vote for the Demo cratic nominees.. . A political campaign without the Grosvenor forecast would be as incom plete as a production pf Hamlet with out the ghost. The Grosvenor forecast has come to be a necessity in Congress as well as presidential campaigns. General Grosvenor places Kentucky, Montana and Nevada in the doubtful column. New York, Ohio and Indiana are du al fled as Republican beyond a doubt. "Kentucky is doubtful and yet hope ful." General Grosvenor declared. "Mon tana is as likely to go Republican as it is Democratic. . .. "Bryan cannot by any reasonable pos sibility be elected without both Indiana and New York," said General Srowiwr. These states being safely Republican General Grosvenor forecasts the election of the Republican presidential, candi date. .

As the campaign nears the end every thing looks bright fo rthe Republicans. When asked by a representative of the Daily News for a statement concern ing the outlook in North Carolina, Re publican State Chairman Spencer B. Adams said: "Everything is looking bright for the Republicans. Tuft's elec tion is an assured fact. There is hardly anyone who will deny it. A Democrat was in my office today. He had recently returned from New York, where ho said leading Democrats conceded the elec tion of Judge Taft to the presidency.

"lulc 1 on the cotton crop from Farmers' Union presidents, Cotton Association presi dents, and other agricultural leaders in every cotton growing state. Editor Poe received two telegrams yesterday from Texas one from Farm apd Ranch, the leading farm paper in the state, estimat ing the yield at less than 3,500,000 bales, and one from President Ne.ill, president of the Farmers' Union, who estimates the crop at 3,000,000 bales, about the average for the last two years. From nearly every state there are reports of unusually early opening which seems to explain the heavy ginning receipts of this season. The summary of reports as received by the Progressive Farmer is as follows: North Carolina: From 75 to 90 per cent, of last year's crop. South Carolina : 65 per cent, of last year's crop. : Georgia: President Barrett writes us that crop is 500 "00 bales, 'and Ikirvie Jordan reports 350,000 bales, short of last year's 1,000,000 yield. Alaiuaba: Crop somewhat larger-than last year, and 00 per cent, picked. Mississippi:' Same yield as 1007, or possibly 2 per cent, greater. : Arkansas: Only 85 per cent, of last year's crop will be produced. . Louisiana: Crop ona-llfth short of last year's production. ' Texas: From 3,000,000 to 3,500,000 bales against 2,221,000 last year, and 4,050,000 for 1000. . On the wlnole the ponclusion is reach ed' tnat the crop is not materially larger .

ALL OF THKEDITORS . 1 f.LL BE'PAID IN FULL Receiver Williams Met With Directors Yesterday and Committee Was Ap- pointed to Consider Rumor That Di- rectors Will Pay Without Suit The comptroller of the currency has directed C. L. Williams, receiver of the , City National Bank, to bring action i against the directors of the bank for the recovery of a sufficient sum to pay off all depositors and creditors in full, ' and reimburse the stockholders for the : amount they invested in the bank stock, or so 'much thereof as possible. I Acting upon the comptroller's direc tion. Receiver Williams summoned the directors to meet in his office 'yesterday I to see if they would make satisfactory settlement without a suit. It is the contention of the comptroller, after txnminjng the reports of the re ceiver end the national bunk examiner, ; that had the directors been vigilant, as ' they should have been, the bank would not huve failed. : Therefore the comp I trailer is looking to the directors to make pood whatever loss that may have been sustained through their negli gence. Recently thern has been a revival of tha talk that the directors arc consider ing taking the burden upon themselves and paving off the. depositors and cred itors, thereby saving themselves unnec essary cost. , The directors are W, S. Thompson, Lee T. Battle, A. L. Brooks, M. W. Thomp son. J;' Van Lindley, J. Allen', Holt, j. bJuTm of mSm... lev and V. '. tors" responded to the citation excepting lj. liroolis nnd J Allen Holt. A. L. Brooks had failed to qualify as a direc tor following the last election, .'and f. Allen Holt had resigned from the direc torate in October of last year. This action will probably reliove the directors from numerous , suits that wiwrVit Via K rvli Kt- . lAnrtu!inM and stockholders who may claim that the hi;nn ,.0.,.,ii,. linWo ik national" l ankina law. i A meotitig was held among the direc- 'tors, after that with the receiver, nnd body, of directors and this report in turn will be submitted, through the re ceiver, to the comptroller. Should the report' meet with his approval, it will probably come before the Federal Court of this 'district for final disposal.
