Half of the cost of the new jail, 876,000, has already been paid for out of last year’s taxes. - A living wage" depends a great \ deal on who is doing the living. Is No Devil, Says New York Preacher New York—“There is no devil ^ave in the imaginations of men,” Rev. Charles Francis Potter told his New York congregation in a sermon dis cussing the subject. “The question,” he declared, ‘‘is a ! ‘persistent dilemma’ of orthodoxy ' and cannot be satisfactorily answer ed by fundamentalists. "Why does this question bother fundamentalists?” Rev. Potter asked. “Simply because if they say God made the devil, it makes God the au thor of evil. If they say the devil made himself, that makes the devil creative and equal with God. If they .‘ay that God made the devil a good -angel in the beginning and gave him nee will, that only postpones the di lemma, for God surely knew what He was about and knew that the devil would become bad. Therefore, God stands in the reprehensible position of employing an agent to do that which He was too good to do Himself. “Belief in demons has persisted un til today. Do you know that right here in New York there is one of the largest branches of the Christian Church that you cannot join until the priest has exorcise dthe demons out of you? Before baptism, whether, the candidate is a child or an adult, an exorcise must pronounce the sacred formula which removes the demonic curse supposed to rest on all the sons of Adam. I honor that Church for its consistency, for all Christian tradi tion supports the practice; but, nevertheless, it makes a modern man rub his eyes.” With Injured Man. Gastonia Gazette. Mrs. L. C. Davis was in Shelby Monday at the bedside of her nephew, Edgar Harmon, Cleveland county farm er, who was seriously injured when an automobile hlV an oat drill he was driv ing late Saturday night. His skull was fractured. Mr. Harmon is related to the Davis family here and is also a relative of Mrs. A. L. Hord, wife of Mr. Hord of McLean Bros., grocery store and of Mr. Miles Thornburg. Misery loves company, else the pessimist would not always be seek ing an audience. his ms si Business Halts and Tributes arc Paid as Former Governor ia Laid to Rent at Scotlartd Neck. Scotland Neck, Nov. 10.—Another (rrnvc wa< made beside that of Buck Kitchin in the little cemetery just outside the town today, and into it were laid the remains of another of his distinguished sons, when, in the presence of anvast concourse of sor rowing North Carolinians, the last rites, were said at the bier of William Walton Kitchin, congressman, gover nor and among the last of the group of orators and statesmen of his race. The three of them sleep there to gether, their graves hidden under great masses of flowers that were brought for the last of them today, the father who in his day had no peer as an orator and a leader of men, and the two sons who added nothing but lustre to the honored name they inherited from him. feut a foot of earth separates them in their last sleep in the quiet acre that is theirs. Business Halts for Service. Every place of business, every in dustry, every activity of every sort was stilled today as the last simple rites were said over the body of the late former governor in the Bapist church here. Hundreds of people from over the entire state came to share the town’s grief, and with them offer to the last solemn tribute to the lead er who has fallen upon sleep. The services were conducted by the Rev. R. T. Vann, D.D., of Raleigh, long a friend, who was as a brother to the Kitchins, assisted by Rev. E. L. Hillman, pastor of the Methodist church here, and Rev Charles Ander son a former pastor of the church. To their simple tribute was added that of I)r. J J. Joyner, former superinten dent of education, and a life-long friend of Governor Kitchin. A Tribute of Love. Dr. Vann uttered a beautiful tri bute of love and affection for Gover nor Kitchin, saving that Mr. Kitchin lived a life brilliant in pure and noble public service to his state and country and n life that was the more beautiful because of the purity of his thought, word and action, his high ideals, his staunch convictions from which he could not be .swerved. “In his campaign for the senator ship,” said Dr. Vann, “a friend told him he was apt to lose because of his policies. His answer was that he had rather not get a vote than turn from the course he considered right. He com mahd the admiration and respect of all,” Dr. Vann held the dead leader up as a model husband, loving father and true friend. Dr. Joyner spoke in terms of the highest admiration for the strong character of Governor Kitchin. Dr. Anderson, lately pastor of the Scotland Neck church, commented upon the greatness of the deceased and dwelt on his courage and - patience through all the trials of his long fll ■ess. Gangsters Kill King of Beer Runners Chicago, Ills.—Dion O’Bannion, Chi cago gangs'er and often termed “the king of the beer runners,” was shot and instantly killed Monday amid the quiet respectability of his florist shop, by three unidentified men. The three Miller brothers, Herschie, Max and David all sworn enemies of O’Bannion, were released after satis fying investigators they had no con. nection with the murder. Herschie is the owner of a cleaning and dyeing plant which was twice bombed sometime ago after an at tempt had been made on the lives of Herschie and Max in front of a down town theater. O’Bannion was accused in both instances, but the assault' charge was tile only one to reach court and this only reached the status of a police court arraignment. David Mil ler is a prominent boxing referee in the middle west. Orders were dispatched immediate ly after the shooting for the arrest of Earl Weiss, Johnnie Torrio, “Yankee” Schwartz and “Dapper Dan” McCar thy. all of whom have been involved in hi-jacking and beer running scan dals in the last few years and all of whom have been arrested in connec. tion with recent beer feud alayings. O’Bannion was working among his plants and blooms in his north side shop shortly before noon when the three men entered. In the rear of the place was William Critchfield, negro porter, and in an anteroom Victor Young, manager, and Vincent Glavin, bookkeeper. O'Bannion greeted his callers with an “hello boys," then, according to Critchfield, who was taken into cus tody tonight for questioning, the four walked over to a corner of the room and conversed in low undertones, this continued but a minute, being cut short by .the simultaneous firing of three revolvers O'Bannion fell into a bed of roses, dead. The trio fled two or three blocks to a waiting automobile. Many pedes trians saw the men running and later were able to describe them, but none attempted to stop them as the report of the shots was Wot lieurd in the street. The police tonight state it was their belief that O’Bannion was shot as the result of an underworld feud.

OUTLOOK SETTER Washington—Definite revival of business of u volume to partially over come the recession of mid-summer has been noted by the Federal Reserve board in the last six weeks. Although current production still is considerably below the same period last year, the board called attention to important increases in September and October over the volume of factory output in June, July and August.lt expressed satisfaction that the reces sion which dropped production in mid summer to levels lower than at any time since 1 lii had not brought about a further decline in the late summer months. Board Optimistic. The board’s views are markedly op timistic and lay stress on possibilities of the immediate future for a gen erally prosperous period. “Recently increases in industral ac tivity from the low level prevailing during the summer months,” the board said, "mark the first substantial Im provement in industry since early in the year. The recent recession during the first half of 1924 which followed the rapid, but unsustained recovery in January, brought the volume of pro duction in basic industries by mid-sum mer to the lowest level since 1922./ There was no further decline in July and August and the increase in Sep tember regained about one quarter of the decline. “In agriculture, there has been a definite improvement in conditions as the result of good harvests and a lev. cl of prices at crop marketing time above that of last year. The increased buying power of the farmers and the fact that distribution of goods to the consumer was well maintained throughout the period of industrial recession in larger volume than cur rent output have been factors in bringing about the reaent advance in industry and trade.” Not For Sailing. News and 'Observer. The Cleveland Star gets consolation out of the fact that “it was good voting weather at least.” - ■ » Cool Nights and Frosty Mornings Requires An Overcoat.
