ROBBERS LOOT ELLENBORO BANK Ellenboro, Oct. 1.— Chloroforming a watch dog, cracksmen entered the Bank of Ellenboro early today, cut a hole into the safe and robbed it of a sum estimated by bank officials at between four and five thousand dol lars. The watch dog killed slept in the front of Austin Harrill’s score ad joining the bank. Entrance to the bank building was made by the back door across which the yeggs were found this morning to have strung a wire attacher to a bell so an alarm would be sounded if any one else came into the build ing- When they had cut into the vault with an acetylene torch and se cured the money," the yeggs fled, leaving a suit case of tools, their torch and other equipment- The robbery was effected about 3 a. m. John O. Wright, who sleeps over the bank, was awakened about that hour and saw a car speed away from the bank toward Shelby. The bank’s loss was covered by insurance.

THE LINCOLN TIMES Total to Be Raised 665 Million Less Than Estimated in Orig inal Budget of January Washington, Sept. 30.—The job of borrowing $5,000,000,000 in the next nine month's was handed the treasury today by President Roosevelt’s new spending and tax collection sched ules. Asserting they expected no diffi culty in finding lenders, officials were gratified nevertheless that in creasing revenues and decreasing ex penditures,, outlined in the revised n;dget, made the total to be raised some $665,000,000 less than had been ■rtimated in the original budget of last January. Study Estimates Studying the new estimates pre sented by the Chief Executive, fiscal ibservers noted that while the Janu aiy budget called for total borrowing of $3,788,623,782 in new money to meeting running expenses, the new summary set the figure at $3,123,- 726,722. Since the fiscal year began on July 1. the treasury already has borrow ed $1,726,000,000, leaving a remain ier of $1,398,000,000 still to be rais ed But in addition $3,766,000,000 must be borrowed to retire govern ment securities which mature before the end of the fiscal year. It was noted, too, that while in January, the President proposed • hat $739,000,000 of the treasury’s cash on hand be used to pay this year’s expenses in addition to the urn then proposed to be borrowed, 'he new estimates cut the depletion of the cash balance to $158,000,000. Year’s Deficit Listed The revised figures, published to; <ay, estimated the year’s deficit at 83,281,000,000 or some $1,237,000,- 000 less than the January estimates. Revenues were computed at $479,- 000,000 greater and expenditures at §768,000,000 less. In addition, President Roosevelt hailed a rising business curve as forecasting a still decreasing deficit in the fiscal year 1937 1 , declared the nation’s tax structure “stronger than ever before in our history,” and said no new taxes would be needed, unless the courts invalidate AAA’s processing taxes. To this, Henry H. Curran, pres ident of the National Economy league took exception today, as serting “the fact is that the under lying tax structure of the govern ment is weaker than it ever was Lefore in our history.” He added: “In this very year, by the Pres ident’s own statement, the tax structure is over $3,000,000,000 weaker than the amount of money necessary to pay the expenses of the government. The test of the strength of any tax structure is its ability to pay the bills, x x x “The first need of the country today is to balance the national budget in order to prevent infla tion, repudiation and economic chaos. The time to balance the budget is now. It can and it must be done.” COURT TO RULE ON AAA STATUS Washington, Sept. 30.—There is a strong probability that the Supreme court will give the nation a decision by Christmas on the validity of the tdminlstration’s agricultural pro gram. Ordinarily, a final ruling on the challenge of the government’s proc essing taxes—upon which the AAA program depends—by the Hoosac Mills Corporation of Massachusetts would take much longer than Christ mas. But the course of the AAA depends largely on the decision, and the farm administration has indi cated it wants the matter expedited. In such cases the Supreme court usually agrees to speedy procedure. This is by far the most far-reach ing case awaiting action by the court which begins its fall term next Mon day.

' Republicans Question Roosevelt’s Sincerity EIGHT PERSONS BURNTO DEATH Chicago, Oct. 2.—Eight persons, including four children, were killed end nine others injured when they were trapped in a fire which gutted a three-story tenement building early today. Frank Vitale, owner of a grocery on the first floor of the building, was taken to a police station to be ques tioned concerning the blaze. A basement explosion which pre ceded the fire blew out one corner of the building and all the windows and weaken the floors and ceilings. Flames then swept through the in terior, trapping the 20 sleeping occu pants. Four of the victims were members of one family. U. S. MIGHT BE ASKED TO JOIN i WAR MOVEMENT British Hint Possibility of Approaching America; Italy Is Annoyed London, Oct. 2.—Great Britain Innted officially tonight thut both the United States and Germany will be sounded out on the question of co-operation in case the league of nations slaps collective sanctions on to Italy. This responsible British source also cleared up a several-day mystery by confirming that Great Britain has asked France what its attitude would be in the event of an isolated attack on Great Britain. It was necessary to determine this, it was explained, because of a ‘gap” in the league covenant which makes no provision covering the in determinate period between an act cf aggression and the time the league decides upon collective action. Sub-clause 3 of article XVI of the league covenant provides that all members of the league will stand I together in the event of an isolated j attack upon one of them, when , collective action once has been de- | c ; oed upon. But there is no pro- j vision covering the period before ■ the league decides on collective ac- | tion. No Reply Is Made France has not replied to the j question, it was said, but informed j British quarters the belief was ex pressed that the answer would be . “satisfactory.” The Canadian press, meantime, j quoted a high authority at White- | hall, as saying “our representatives have gone the limit _ wherein they j feel they can rely on British and imperial opinion being behind them” on the question of the Franco- British communications. Latest Charges Are Made At Same Tima President Speaks On Coast iWashington, Oct. 3.—Another Re publican attack on Roosevelt de pendability late today paiaikjjpd the President’s appeal in Los Angeles for “progressive libera!.*” to unite It hind the new deal. Each development carried its own significance for 1936. Sharpening challenges of Roosevelt sincerity, on the one hand, have in dicated increasingly the campaigning ahead will be no counterpart of last year when the President personally was almost immune to criticism. His current espousal of the liberal viewpoint, on the other hand, struck political quarters as renewed evidence ot willingness to leave the extremely conservative field to the oposition. The latest amputation of bad faith came when the Republican national committee projected “Roosevelt ver sus Roosevelt” as a rallying cry. The contention, in another issue of “facts and opinions,” was that performance has not jibed with promises. This theme, Republican spokesmen said, will be elaborated in the Re publican National congressional com mittee program of eight speeches in two months, which Chairman Bolton opens tomorrow night. The Ohio representative spoke of “deceit” and “mis-representation” by the admini stiation in announcing the series. In advance of the Los Angeles speech, differences in California Democracy between followers of Sen ator McAdoo and those of Upton Sinclair had been subject of comment Mr. Roosevelt did not confine him self to the state’s borders, however, in counselling liberals to “find a common ground and a common road.” The Republican National commit tee arraignment here had to do with he recent disclosure, through an NRA report to Senator King, Demo crat, Utah, numbering employees of that power-shorn agency on Septem er 7 at 2,760. “As candidate,” it said, “he” (Roosevelt) denounced federal bu reaucrack getting paid for things ‘neither practical nor necessary,’ as j President, he keeps thousands on a ,‘57,000,000 a year pay roll, sitting ! around the corpse of the blue eagle.” I The statement was based on a | quotation from the Roosevelt cam j paign speech at Sioux City just three (years ago which preceded a resume i of the already-published NRA report, j The Republican publicity medium, jin three column, miniature journal I form, until recently was largely con fined to reprints from the press and i mailed to newspapers.

Ehringhaus Will Be Speaker At Lincolnton’s Celebration October 10 THE PRESIDENT MEETS SETBACK AS PEACEMAKER Rooseyelt’s Gesture in Ken . tucky Meets Rebuff; Parties Refuse to Meet F. D. R. Louisville, Ky„ Oct. 4.—President Roosevelt’s gesture toward recon ciliation of the factional differences among Kentuckey’s Democrats on the eve of the state gubernatorial elec tion met with a setback today. Thomas S. Rhea, of Russellville, defeated by Lieutenant Governor A. B. Chandler for the nomination as governor in the Democratic run-off rrimary, declined to meet the Presi dent today aboard his special train at Cincinnati in a sharply worded re ply to an invitation from M. H. Mc- Intyre, the President’s secretary, for a conference with the President, Gov ernor Ruby Laffoon and Chandler. Chandler accepted the invitation but Governor Laffon, who support ed Rhea in the primary, declined. Rhea charged that “barriers” had been raised against him at the White House. Resentment was voiced yesterday by Governor Laffoon when he receiv ed the telegram from the Wihite House inviting Chandler and Rhea to the conference but not the governor. It developed that the word “you,” including the governor in the invita tion, had been omitted from the tele gram through a transmission error. Efforts of Mclntyre to patch up the difficulty over the telephone were un availing. The governor was adamant that he would not go to the confer ence. STATE BALANCE IS 20 MILLION Raleigh, Oet. 2. —North Carolina had nearly $20,000,000 in cash Aug ust 31, to be statistical, $19,615,061,- Cl, of which $5,209,537.86 was in the general fund and there will be more September 30, it seems. The glowing surplus, a stranger at this time of the year generally, re flects the improving business, state officials say, and receipts each month seem to lead disbursements easily. The state had $2,306,692.09 August 1, 1935. The receipts were $4,314,- 275.71 and the disbursements were $1,411,393.95. These collections wiped out a cash overdraft of $2,310,497.25 and the thing that helped to do that was the receipt of $9,875,691.26 for months July and August. The warrant disbursements for that period were $2,355,620.16. The operation of the state high way and other special funds, of course, helps mightily the others The cash balance in the highway fund August 1, 1935, was $17,283,- 400.75. The receipts for the month were $3,941,351.56, making $21,224,- 752.32. The disbursements were SB,- 092,856.68, making in the highway department a cash balance of $13,- 131,895.64. In the state treasury there are s&■- 209,573.85 in cash in the general fund; J 513,131,895.64 in the highway and other special funds, $186,493.07 in warrants outstanding and $1,08i,- 098.45 in disbursing accounts, mak ing the grand total $19,615,061.01. The state debt is stationary for a season. The general fund bonds run up to $58,283,000, world war veter ans loan bonds, $2,500,000, highway bonds $95,571,000; Cowan river bridge, $400,000; Cape Fear Bridge funds $1,200,000, and special school building bonds, $12,710,000. This makes a total state debt of $170,- 864,000. Budapest surgeons had a duel over an operation argument. So the pa tient had money. What is so rare as a public ad dress that juts some result?

ETHIOPIAN SOLDIERS PARADE TO FRONT TO HALT ITALIANS Fighting Said to Have Begun In Mussa Ali Area; Musso lini Belligerent Addis Ababa, Oct. 2.—Nearly 250,- 000 Ethiopian fighters were report ed on the march tonight, some to ward the Italian colonial frontier, in anticipation, of a general mobiliza tion tomorrow. Native drums echoing throbgh val leys and mountains will call 10,000,- 000 men, women and boys into serv ice in the face of a threatened war with Italy. Emperor Haile Selassie decided upon the mobilization, which he will proclaim from the balcony of the imperial palace, after dispatching a protest to Geneva charging Italy has already invaded his kingdom with 50,000 troops. One hundred thousand Ethiopians were reported marching from Gondar toward the Eritrean frontier, where Italy is expected to strike. This vast army was followed by 60,000 war riors from four provinces led by Ras Mulugeta, minister of war. Another 80,000 troops from Jima and Wal * ga province were said to be on their way to Addis Ababa to protect the capital. Drums to Call Troops The Addis Ababa correspondent of the Paris Soil- reported fighting be tween Italian and Ethiopian troops had already started in the Mussa Ali —eastern —section of Ethiopia and that there have been casualties. The newspaper, although previous Ethiopian reports said none of the country’s troops was in that vicinity, asserted three columns of advancing Italian troops, totalling 25,000 men, f( ught with irregular Danakil tribes men.

A hitch hiker, after having been given a lift from Petersburg to Rockingham, “turned up” his benefactors last week. Two 18-year-old boys, Horace Nic hols and George Colby, allegedly stole a new car in New York, Sep tember 20, picked the hitch-hiker up i t Petersburg and put him out here, then cut back towards Wilmington. A couple of miles out of town they ran out of gas. In the meantime, the befriended hitch-hiker went to the sheriff’s office and told him that he believed the two had a stolen car. The sheriff investigated, found the si landed car by the highway, and later arrested the two. New York officers were advised and came for the men Saturday. The hitch-hiker continued on his way towards Memphis.

LOCALS TO PLAY MT. HOLLY FRIDAY (By “Smack” Proctor) Luckless in their first two en gagements of the season, Lincolnton high’s football team is hoping for a better break when they tangle with Mt. Holly high here tomorrow after noon on the local athletic field. The game begins at 3:30. Coach Smith has not been exactly pleased with his teams showing in the two previous games a especially has he been disappointed in the of fensive department which has failed to show anything spectacular in ad vancing the ball up field. The line has performed creditably at times but shows room for improvement, and it will not be surprising to see several new faces in the starting lineup tomorrow. Two prospects, Russell Lockman, and Cloniger, who came out for practice after school began, are making strong bids for varsity positions and are likely to be starters tomorrow.
