THE LINCOLN TIMES General Declares Costly Mis takes Must Be Corrected Before It Is Too Late Cleveland, Oct. 28.—General Hugh £ Johnson denounced the New Deal in a speech tonight for “amazing blunders and failures”—and called for the re-election of President Roosevelt. Reducing current controversies to a choice between those who would “do something’’ about a maladjusted economic situation and those who would “do nothing,” he espoused the former view and declared Mr. Roose velt its outstanding exponent. But he added: “I know of no duty of loyalty or devotion to the side on which 11 stand that suggests to me that there is the slightest virtue in attempting tc conceal or gloss over these trag ic and dangerous tendencies. Must Correct Errors “On the contrary, it is my firm conviction that, while the salvation of this country will be found only under the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt as the single effective exponent of the policy of ‘do some thing’ as against all the exponents of the policy of ‘do nothing,’ we shall not attain that salvation un less the New Deal is purged of these failures and blunders and of the influences and administrators who are so obviously responsible for them.” In criticism of the New Deal, he (Continued on back page) iocajTboysstar IN GRID BATTLES AT LENOIR RHYNE Buck Mauney, Cecil Sigmon and Dan Lockman Are Regulars This Year (Publicity Director) The Lenoir Rhyne College Moun tain Bears’ football team, Hickory, boasts of three star plays who live in Lincolnton. Buck Mauney, Cecil Sigmon, and Dan Lockman, former Lincolnton grid stars, have been reg ular players on the team this season and have helped greatly to make the Bears a heavy contender for the North State Conference champion ship. Mauney is not new to Lincolnton fans since he is well known here not only as a gridster but as an all-round athlete as well. He is playing his fourth year of college football and leads the Bear offense. His brilliant passing and running have won him conference laurels, and he is an al most sure repeater on the mythical team this season. Mauney is leading the Bear scorers, recently running wild against the Duke B and Naval Apprentice teams. Although a newcomer to the ranks, Sigmon has become known as a fear less back with plenty of driving pow er at fullback. His blocking has open ed up big holes through the appon ent's line which has accounted for needed first downs. He is a steady performer and enemy forewalls crumble when he hits them at full speed. Along with Sigmon comes Dan Lockman, varsity guard. Lockman, also a new man, is a stonewall on the defense and a stubborn lineman on the attack. He played the entire game at Newport News last week, performing brilliantly throughout. Tomorrow night at Hickory, the Bears clash with Guilford in a north state game.

Published On Monday and Thursday LINCOLNTON, N. C. THURSDAY, OCT. 31, 1935 LOCAL HOSPITAL IS PLACED UPON ROLL OF HONOR Lincoln Hospital Is Approved; By American College Os Surgeons The Lincoln Hospital, of this city, vas among the seventy hospitals in North Carolina on the approved list: of the American College of Surgeons, I according to announcement made this i v/eek by Dr. Malsolm T. MacEachern,! associated director of the college, at) the opening of the twenty iifth an nual meeting in San Francisco. The local institution was given full approval by the college, while a num ber of institutions in the state rated “provisional approval,” indicating that the designated hospitals have accepted the minimum requirements but for lack of time or other accept able reasons have not been able to carry out in detail. The Lincoln hos pital has been on the fully approved list for a number of years past. Dr. MacEachern, in making the announcements, called attention to the compilation of more than 34,000 individual surveys of hospitals by the college during the past eighteen years, with an increase in the num ber surveyed from 692 in 1918 to 3,565 in 1935. Only 89 hospitals met the requirements in 1918, he said, whereas 2,523 are now on the ap- i proved list. I “There is now an approved hos pital within 20 to 30 miles of 98 ' per cent of the population of the 1 United States,” he said. “This i means much, not only in meeting 1 emergencies, but in combatting all i the diseases to which the human i body is subject." He gave high praise to the voluti- , tary hospitals which have not oniy kept their doors open but have Improved their service in spite of reduced income and a vastly in creased load of free work during the past few years. Dr. George Crile, of Cleveland, chairman of the board of regents, j said that one out of every seventeen persons in the United States and Canada went to hospitals yearly.

RUCKER OFGOODSONVILLE Mangled Body Found' on Rail way Tracks Near Salis bury Sunday Night Funeral services for Clyde W. Rucker, who met death Sunday night when he was struck by a Southern Railway train in Salisbury, w'ere con ducted Tuesday afternoon from the home of his parents in Goodsonville. Officiating ministers were Rev. R. L. Forbis, pastor of the Goodsonville Methodist church and Rev. H. B. Jones, pastor of the Baptist church. Pall bearers were L. C. Lippard, Jim Clippard, Gary Hovis, Bob Arney, R. L. Eaker and Elvin Robin son. Flower bearers were the mem bers of Miss Ethel Rucker’s Sunday School class. The mangled body of Mr. Rucker was found on the tracks of the South ern Railway Sunday night and since tl ere Was nothing on' his person to identify him he lay in a Salisbury funeral parlor until Tuesday morn ing before he was identified. A radio 1 roadcast giving a description of the young man led George W. Rucker, of Goodsonville, to make a trip to Salisbury Tuesday morning, when he identified the body as that of his son. Mr. Rucker left Lincolnton two years ago and was connected with the Sheesley Shows, which arrived in Salisbury last week to go into win ter quarters. To the members of the carnival company he was known as “Carl Armstrong,” which accounts for the fact that they were unable to locate any of his people. Two weeks ago members of his family here had a letter from him in which he stated that he was making his plans to visit them some time this month. Rucker was born in Lincolnton October 7, 1905, and was known to a number of local people. In addition (Continued on back page) rev.hTrobinson GOES TOMISSISSIPPI Rev. Henry S.

C., Oct. 30.—Militia rule marched into another southern capital today as Gov. Olin D. John ston seized control of the South Carolina state highway department. The 38-year-old executive declared an antagonistic highway administra tion in a “state of insurrection” as defined by South Carolina statutes and promptly displaced it. Sixty-one national guardsmen with four machine guns planted them selves about the highway offices to enforce the order by which John ston turned to the South Carolina parallel of martial law in the foot steps of Georgia, Oklahoma, and Louisiana state executives. Charges Trickery He announced his action early this morning in a proclamation ami state ment sayir.g military force was ne cessary to remove the 14 commis sioners and Chief Commissioner Ben M. Sawyer since they had “set up a supreme government” above the gov ernor, legislature, and people. George Bell Timmerman, of Lex ington, the only commissioner who commented immediately, asserted, “The governor is leading the rebel lion against constitutionality, law, end order. It is up to the people of South Carolina to decide between a dictator or a regular governor. Waging a fight he began six years ago as a youthful representative in the South Carolina legislature, John sfon announced he was taking charge of road affairs “to end trickery and subterfuge, favoritism and irregular ities.” He cited his inaugural demand, un answered, for the entire commission to resign, and testimony at removal proceedings against three commis sioners in saying he acted “for the people” when all other means had failed. Court Order Not Violated The dramatic resort to troops to oust the road board that refused to seat his four appointees and re frained from acting upon his request for $3 automobile tags followed with in 48 hours of Supreme court action restraining four Johnston appointees fiom taking commission posts. Legal authorities said the gover nor was left free to act, as the orders restraining his commissioners pend ing a hearing November 11 did not include him personally. The governor lost no time in set ting up a temporary highway admin istration to carry out his policies of providing $3 tags, as Gov. Eugene Talmadge had done under similar (Continued on back page) ILLNESSFATALTO JUSTICE BROGDEN Durham, Oct. 29.—Associate Jus tice W. J. Brogden, of the state Su, preme court, died at his home here early tonight following an extended illness. Willis James Brogden was regarded as one of the most level-headed mem bers of the North Carolina Supreme court and was famed for his brief opinions, keen satire and ready wit. The justice, 57 years old, was next to the youngest member of the court. The youngest is Chief Justice W. P. Stacy, a close friend of Justice Brog e'en for years. Born near Goldsboro October 18, 1877, a son of Willis H. and Virginia Robinson Brogden, Willis Brogden attended the Goldsboro graded schools and then, at 16 years of age, rode his first train when he went to the Uni versity of North Carolina. One of the stoi'ies the jurist loved to recite was of that first train ride, and his mix ed feelings of fear when the cars swung around curves and of pride that he was riding a train on his way to college. Judge Brogden was graduated from the university in 1898 with the de gree of bachelor of philosophy and went to Raleigh to teach school. He then took similar duties at Durham and studied law in the afternoons and at night at Trinity college, now l Duke. He completed his law work at North Carolina and was licensed to practice in 1907. In 1908 Judge Brogden took part in his first pilitical skirmish and ] (Continued on back page) Roosevelt and Hull Warn Against Trade With Nations at War ■‘Baby Bond” Issue Will Help Finance Dr. McDonald’s Run I>R. RALPH W. MCDONALD Winston-Salem, Oct. 30.—Bright colored “baby bonds’’ to help finance the campaign of Dr. Ralph McDonald for governor were on sale here to day. Closely resembling greenbacks, the bonds sell for $1 each. The bonds carry a picture of the anti-sales tax candidate and bear the slogaji ’'Let's have a new deal in North Carolina.” Virgil A. Wilson, of Winston-Salem, acting chairman of the “committee for McDonald pro gram,” said they would be placed on sale throughout the State shortly. CORN LOAN SET AT 45c BUSHEL BY DEPARTMENT $150,000,000 Is Sought to Fi nance Loans on 1935 Con trol Contracts Washington, Oct. 30.—The agri cultural department announced to day a 45-cent a bushel loan on this year’s corn crop, appending to the loans requirements which Secretary Wallace said “might or might not” be the beginning of his over normal granary plan. The Commodity Credit corporation, Wallace reported, has asked the reconstruction corporation for a max imum of $150,000,000 to finance the loan to farmers who signed the 1935 corn-hog adjustment contracts. The loan, the announcement said, will be made available on field corn that has been husked and stored in the ear in suitable cribs in ac cordance with the laws of the state in which it is located. Loans will be made on corn which, if shelled, would grade number three or better. The grade require ment in 1933 and 1934 was num ber four. The loan rate last year was 55 cents a bushel and in 1933 was 45 cents. Benefit From Devotions Mrs. Seeall —“Did you notice the chincilla coat on the woman sitting in front of us at church this morn ing?” Mr. Seeall—“Er—no. Afraid I was dozing most of the time.” Mrs. Seeall—“Urn! A lot of good the service did you!” SIBO Is Recovered By Advertisement Burlington, Oct. 29.—A. C. Lin berg, city engineer, wins G. A. Sikes’ nomination as an honest man. On the streets of this city last Friday, Mr. Sikes, of Guilford coun ty, while here on business, dropped a wallet containing SIBO in cold cosh. He inserted an advertisement in the classified columns of local and state dailies. i Mr. Linberg, apparently happened along within a few mom«hts after the wallet was dropped and picked it up. He scanned the papers and when the advertisement appeared he went directly to the home of Mr. Sikes. .

Advancing beyond any previous point the efforts to bulwark the gov ernment’s neutrality policy by dis couraging trade with the belligerents, the pronouncements by the President £nd secretary of state carried un spoken hints that still further action might be taken. The chief executive, after hitting at commercial profits gained from war, declared: “Accordingly the American govern ment is keeping informed as to all shipments consigned for exports to both belligerents.” Hull, employing stronger language than at any time past, asserted that the neutrality policy was intended to “discourage dealings” with both of the warring countries and added: “I again repeat that an early peace with the restoration of normal busi ness and normal business profits is far sounder and far preferable to temporary and risky war profits.” The two mimeographed statements, obviously prearranged to follow close upon each other, were handed to newspapermen after questions had teen asked at the regular White House and state department press conferences. In both cases the ques tion, clearly anticipated, was whether actions were being taken in line w’ith tite polity of discouraging trade with the two combatants. The double action stirred consider able speculation in the capital. Some observers were of the opinion that the pronouncements possibly were in tended to pave the way for some def inite action should heavy war ex ports be shown. Officials concededly have under study the question of whether the existing embargo against arms ship ments should be extended to include such “key” raw material for war time use as copper, cotton, oil and scrap iron.
