Smith Shows Scared Politicians He Knows What He Is Doing. I Raleigh.—A1 knows mo-c about the spots on the cards than does John. So A1 called John’s bluff aft er John had assailed his record in church. A lot of people thought A1 pulled a bloomer when he called j John and asked to defend himself in joint debate in John’s big church in j New York. But now when John I i comes back and says he does not | think the church a suitable place I for a political discussion, A! gets all the chips. There isn't going to be any debate. At least this Is the way the ma jority of the politicians here arc viewing the situation following the announcement by Ur. John Roach Straton that he cannot ag”ee to per mit Governor Alfred E. Smith to I engage in a political debate in Cal- j vary Methodist church on the Sab bath. but that he will be glad to meet him in debate elsewhere—say, < Madison Square Garden. This de spite the fact that Dr. John Roach Straton had no compunctions against discussing politics in his sermon on a Sabbath. when he j stated that Governor Smith was the “deadliest foe in America today of the forces of moral progress and true political wisdom." And when Governor Smith im mediately challenged this state ment and asked that he be given an opportunity to defend himself from this charge in the same church and before the same congre gation, political wiseacres gasped and the majority thought that Smith had made a big mistake. But this feeling has now given way to the conviction that instead of com mitting a political blunder. Gover nor Smith played an ace in immed iately challenging the statements of Dr. Straton and indirectly of thousands of other ministers. So it is that opinion now is that since Dr. Straton will not agree to debate with Governor Smith in the church, that Governor Smith will decline to debate with him any where else, and that as a result the debate will nevek be held. And at the same time, it will be a victory for Governor Smith. There is no doubt that in playing politics, A1 knows the spots on the cards. Blockaders Using Ice In “Stilling” Gaffney Officers Mne Artificially Cooled Plan Going Good Gaffney —Cherokee county block aders during the recent hot weather have turned to the use of ice for tl'.e quicker condensation of the al coholic vapors arising from boiling mash, according to evidence found by Rural Policeman J. P. Scruggs and George McCraw the early part of the week during a raid in the Corinth community. The officers discovered two stills, one idle and the other in operation. A cake of ice was being used in con nection with the one in operation to hasten the condensation of the steam into liquor, the officers stat ed. The officers located three stills Wednesday near the home of John Childers, between three and four miles east of Blacksburg, Wednes day, it was stated. Two were in close proximity, while the third was about three-quarters of a mile dis tant. About 200 gallons of mash was de stroyed in each of the raids. Several days ago Rural Officer McCraw and Ben Coyle, city police man, found a still and about 75 gal lons of mash in the McXown’s Mountain vicinity. TRUSTEE’S SALE.

It CHRYSLER. t cars * Compare them only 1 costing far, far more i j i i There have been cars without number which endeavored to look like cars of greater value. None that we know of save these new Chryslers —''65” and "75”— have actually raised themselves into a higher class without alteration of price. What has happened in the case of the new "65” and ”75” js something much more important than a fortunate choice of design and decoration. The richer appearance, the greater size, the finer upholstery, the specially-designed hardware, the greater performance ability are all real increases in value without in crease of price. They are real and they have an economic base peculiar and oossible onlv to Chrysler — the principle of Standardized Quality through which the benefits in scientific engineering and precision manufacturing of its costliest cars are given to its cars of lesser price. Through this policy you are able to get in the new "75” and "65” more beauty and higher quality than in cars costing many hundreds—yes, even a thousand—dollars more. Chrysler saves in its basic minu* facturing policy and spends lavishly in the engineering and the styling of its cars. New Chrysler “75" Prices — Royal Sedan, $1333; 2-passenger Coupe (with rumble seat), $1333; Roadster (with rumble seat), $1333; TotvnStdan, $1635, New Chrysler’•65” Prices— Business Coupe, $1040; Roadster (with rumble scat), $1061; 2-door Sedan, $1061; Touring Car, $1071; 4-door Sedan, $1141; Coupe (with rumble seat), $1141- All prices / o, b.

The principal of the new school j is Prof. J. L. Dennis who lias an A. B. degree from Newberry college, j Newberry, S. C.. and is now working J for an M. A. degree from the Uni- j versity of North Carolina with three | summer schools already to his cred- i it there. He has charge of the j mathematic department end also j teaches Latin. His assistants are, Prof. C. V. Harrill a graduate of Wake Forest college wno is teacher of Science and History; and Miss Mardecia Eaker a graduate of N. C. j C. W., who is teacher of French ■ and English. The elementary teach ers are the following: Mr. Paul Gold who has' the seventh grade. Miss Ruth Smith who has the sixth grade.

Miss Margaret Kennedy who has the second grade, Miss Lizzie Mae Lee and Mrs. Dobbin Lattimore who have the first grade.

The school is now operating six trucks which make two trips each morning and afternoon transporting more than 425 pupils daily. A careful driver has been selected for each truck. Music is being taught by Miss Alice Poteat of Lattimore. She now has 23 enrolled in the music class. Auditorium Seats GOO The school building also contains an auditorium with a seating capac ity of 600. The seats are not yet installed but will be in the near future. The stage of the auditor ium is large and well arranged for exercises of all practical kinds. The school is also equipped with tele phone service. The school grounds are not yet put In first class condition, but as soon as possible work will be, done toward beautifying the grounds and making ample provisions for out side athletic •activities. There are ten acres of the school property the most of which is available for a basebail field, basket ball courts and such others as the modern high school games require. The new school has prospects of becoming one of the largest rural schools in the state. The attend ance the first week is far above what most of us expected and is increasing every day. It is reas onable to believe that the 600 mark will be reached before the first term shall have ended. Every requirement of the state de partment of education is being met as rapidly as possible to make the school standard the first year. Four years of high school credit is being offered from the very beginning. We are looking forward with great pride to the future success of the new school. The entire community seems to rejoice because of the fact that we are blessed with the long sought for and muchly needed liigh school. It's a fine addition to our township and community. The co operation of the patrons is solicit ed to make it the best school in Cleveland county. Why One Man Supports G. O. P. (Julian Miller in Charlotte News.) OUr good friend, Mr. J. El wood Cox, of High Point, has discovered fen reasons why It is necessary for him to support Mr. Hoover in the present presi dential contest. It is conceivable, however, that his case is somewhat anal ogous to that of the fellow who was invited into a poker game. “I don't play poker," he said firmly. “There are three rea sons why I don’t play poker. The first is that I haven't got any money and” “To the devil with the other two,” ssaid his friend, “if you are broke.” We have a notion that the first reason of the ten whieh Mr. Cox is able to advance why he will vote for Mr. Hoover, is that Mr. Cox Is a regular Republican and the other nine are, there fore, of unimportance. The wets and drys are kicking up a pretty big row in this campaign over the prohibition law, seeing that if Smith is elected he can't repeal it and if Hoover is elected he can't enforce it.—Washington Post. . - ■' . 1 'Jt - Crime is a disease that calls for arrest cure.—Wall Street Journal.
