Cobb, chief of the AAA cotton section, today ex pressed a belief that a “considerable part” of the 4,450,000 bales control led by the government under 12-cent loans would be moved to market this reason. “The demand for cotton is strong,” Cobb said, "and the European stocks of American cotton have been ex hausted. The price has seemed fairly steadly recently above 12 cents.” Cobb indicated that an announce ment of the 1936 cotton adjustment program might be made Tuesday or Wednesday. Optimistic Over Prospects AAA records showed that on No vember 1, a total of 4,460,678 bales were held under loans of 12 cents a pound. Title to this cotton is still held by the farmers, who ob tained the loans, and before the cotton may be sold, officials said the price would have to equal the amount of the loan, plus interest and carrying chnrges. It was estimated unofficially that before the loan cotton could be marketed, the price would have to bt 13.50 cents a pound. Cobb said he was “very optimistic” about the outlet for cotton. Most of the current cotton crop is moving cut to market rapidly, he added, and records disclosed that on November 1, only 32,628 bales of 1935 cotton had been placed under the 10-cent loans being made this year. The 12-cent loans made last year (Continued on back page) ‘Wolves’ Win Last Game of Best Season in Four Years Lincolnton Beats Oakhurat, 59 to 0, Before “Appreciation Day” Crowd (By “Smack” Proctor) Lincolnton high’s Gold and Black Wolves turned on all its crushing power for an Appreciation Day crowd estimated at 800 here Friday after noon to swamp a bewildered Oak l.urst team of Charlotte 59 to 0. This was the local teams final game of the season. The score accurately measures the superiority of one of the best Lin colnton teams in years. It tells the story of Oakhurst impotence. Oak hurst neverat any stage of the game had a chance, while the on rushing Lincolnton ball carriers scored in every period, leading 32 to 0 at the half. Throughout the game Oakhurst was back on its heels—in the line, in the backfield, on defense and on the attack. Oakhurst had no comeback for the hard charging Wolve line. For that string of galloping backs, paced by Johnson, Cloniger, Grice, Leonard and Lockman, the Oakhursts seemingly weak in physicial strength and low in Bpirit, had no retort. The game was scarcely three min utes old when three Wolve linemen charged through to block a Oakhurst punt, Dave Cashion recovering the loose sphere in the end zone for a local score. A pass, Leonard to John son added the extra point. Several minutes later the Wolves marched down the turf for another score, Ed Johnson knifing through the Oak hurst defense on an off tackle slant foi the score. Johnson came back shortly afterwards to again grab the spotlight with two other spectacular touchdown jaunts. Bill Grice, line busting fullback, also added a neat 25 yard touchdown run to terminate the first half scoring orgy. Score Lincolnton, 32; Oakhurst, 0. The second half witnessed some nifty gallops by Goon Cloniger, who literally tore his way through the Oakhurst line to pick up yardage on every attempt. Cloniger climaxed his brilliant running by scoring two touchdowns, both on wide end sweeps. C. B.

D. R. SCORED FOR SUPPORTING SENATOR NORRIS Nebraska Democratic Commit teeman Says President Hurts State Ticket North Platte. Neb., Nov. 23. Keith Neville, of North Platte, dem ocratic national committeeman, charg ed today that President Roosevelt had “jeopardized the chances of the entire democratic state and national ticket” by his recent unqualified support of Senator George W. Nor ris (republican, Nebraska). “It would have been more ap propriate,” Neville said, ‘‘for the Fresident to have suggested to Nor ris that he file as a democrat.” Neville contended that Norris V’as not entitled to the support of democrats if he ran for reelection as a republican or an independent. Sees “Bolt" President Roosevelt’s statement that Norris should be kept in the senate, “as long as he lives” gave Nebraska’s senior senator virtual assurance the President would “bolt the democratic candidate for sen ator,” Neville said. “If Norris should run as an in dependent or as the nominee of the republican party as in the past,” Neville said, "the President will be placed in the unusual posi tion of bolting a part of the ticket of which he is head. The situation is unprecedented but perhaps there will be a new deal formula for conducting a political campaign in on unpolitical and unorthodox man ner.” Neville’s statement stirred rumors cf a possible split in the ranks of Nebraska democrats over Norris, if lie decides to seek reelection as a republican or independent. Governor R. L. Cochrane, a demo crat, said he would bo “glad to join in any movement to keep Nor nt in the senate.” REYNOLDS TO GO AROUND WORLD Washington, Nov. 23. Senator Robert R.

Construction of the gas cham l>er, which is also being used for electrocutions until those now under sentence to die by that method have been disposed of, is now under way. Prison officials have not an nounced when they expect the gas chamber to be completed. In denying Jenkins’ plea for a new trial on the contention evi dence was excluded, the court held that the only testimony withheld was that the defendant was of low mentality, and that there was no error in its exclusion, since “low mentality is not the test of insan ity.” Yeggs Take $3,000 From Harrelsville Bank; Crack Vault Harrelsville, Nov. 23.—Yeggs some time during last night burned a hole in the safe of the Bank of Harrels ville and took a sum estimated by E.

Continuing, he asserted that its hunger - producing tax policy pays millions to farmers for laying out our broad acres which could and would produce an abundance for the nation’s hunger. Under the New Deal, the Demo cratic party has abandoned every tradition and principle of the past end violated every pre-election guarantee, he said. The phrases “New Deal,” “More Abundant Life,” and “Self-Serving- Bureau cracy” rolled repeatedly from the speaker’s tongue with oratorical emphasis.
