Theo dore Roosevelt, Jr., in an address to night at a three-county Republican rally, charged the Franklin D. Roose velt administration with making a “consistent attempt to subvert our form of government, and substitute therefor some hybrid importation from Russia, Germany, or Italy.” Inclement weather forced the rally indoors. Original plans were to hold it in Sinnissippi park in what was to have been this city’s first major Labor day celebration in many years. Tonight’s program was held in Shrine temple. The speaker charged that the President is “striving to concentrate in his hands dictatorial powers.” “No one need tell me,” he added, “that Frankfurter, Cohen, Tugwell, Corcoran, et al, do not know what they wish to attain. “All of them, in my opinion, are men who hate our American form of government and have seized upon this opportunity to try to de stroy it. "The President must be fully aware of this, for he is heading the movement. He is responsible. He has the power. He appointed them. He can remove them. He must be defeated if American ideals are to live.’- Colonel Roosevelt charged that the present administration “has squandered the wealth of the nation and bound upon the backs of our children a burden under which they will be struggling all their lives.” “More wealth has been destroyed by this administration than ever has been destroyed in the history of the world in a like period, ex cept by war or pestilence,’’ Colonel Roosevelt said in attacking the present farm program. He declared, “Statistics prove that even in the good years of farm production we were not producing enough of -practically all of our p-oducts to satisfy the consuming power of the American people, or to furnish a proper diet for all ot our American people.” Colonel Roosevelt charged the administration, instead of build ing up the purchasing power of those unable to buy proper food to achieve a “more abundant life for all,” had “destroyed crops, destroyed food, destroyed capital. Food is wealth.” SUPERIOR COURT TO CONVENE HERE MONDAY, OCT. 14 Judge H.

Gamble, who, with his family, recently returned fiom an extensive tour of the westutn states, was prevailed upon by members of the Rotary club to give some of his impressions of the trip at last week’s meeting of the club. Feeling that the hundieds of friends of Dr. Gamble, outside the club, would enjoy hearing of his ad ventures The Times has secured a copy of his speech and it is carried herewith: Fellow Rotarians: I will give a brief review of our California trip. Ever since our marriage Mrs. Gam ble and I have looked forward to a trip through the West and to the Pacific Coast. The years rolled around and our family increased, adding three extra who refused to stay at home, so at 6:00 a. m. July 15, Mrs. Gamble, Snookie, Jim, and John and I started on our much talked western trip. Our first place of interest was “My Old Kentucky Home.” near Bardstown, Ky., the home of Stephen Foster, who composed “My Old Ken tucky Home” and many more beauti ful songs. This old place has been restored and is a shrine far music levers. We journeyed on, visiting Louis ville, St. Louis, Kansas City and on to Colorado Springs. Here we enjoy ed the beautiful drives, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the Winds, and last, but not least to drive up Pike Peak in our own car. It is eighteen miles to the top and it is a thrilling trip, but too much responsibility with o-nes family along, all putting on breaks and wondering if ve would make the hair pin turns and the cork screw curves. The Bottomless Pit and many other drops of several thousand feet looked bottomless to us. After a cup of coffee at the Sum mit we rested a while, dreading the descent. This turned out as usual not to be so bad as we had expected, but w.“ all voiced the opinion that this was the first and last trip up Pike’s Peak. Denver was our next objective and from there to Salt Lake City, home of the Mormans. Saw all the sights there the Tabernacle, Museum, Temple and a swell Rodeo. The chil dren went bathing in Salt Lake, but once was enough, as it is so briny; the salt collects on ones face and body and dries in a few minutes. We were fortunate to have been in Salt Lake City for Covered Wagon Days Celebration. Then we went to Yellowstone Park, which one has to sec to appre ciate and I think we all would have enjoyed it more if we had not been saddened by the news of my good friend Vance Lineberger’s death. The drives are not half as pretty as those in our Carolina Mountains, and I was afraid to step for fear a Geyser would spout up in front of me and scald me to death. Old Faithful held our attention and it was beautiful at night when colored lights were (Continued on back page) teller, W. M. Link, Lee Gilmore. Ralph Hull, Mike Kiser, J. S.

Relief Money Will Not Be Given to Communities „ Out Right The county commissioners are meeting today to give last minute consideration to the county’s bid for projects under the works progress administration.

Just what projects, if any, will be submitted by the board, has not been learned, but it is understood that road work in the county will be given 1 reference by the members in their considerations. The WPA program, w'hich is being launched, will be responsible for dis position of the $4,800,000 fund set aside by Congress for relief work. John Grice, district WPA ad ministrator in Charlotte, has pointed out that there are two ways in which the relief problem can be handled. Either work relief projects must be provided to furnish employ ment or the needy will be thrown on the mercy of the county. Relief mon ey will not be given outright and only those communities which show a disposition to help themselves by co operating with the federal agency, it is pointed out, will benefit froi» the huge amount of public works money to be expended. The WPA, Mr. Grice explained, furnishes all labor in approved pro jects and allows also 30 per cent of the labor cost which may be used for materials.
