Today’s North Carolina Weather Report: Increasing cloudiness fol lowed by rain late tonight and Tuesday. Slightly cooler tonight in I northeast portion. Kills Three. J. W.

Cotton Ginning In County 17,134 Bales To Oct. 18th Cleveland county ginned 17.134 bales of cotton up to October 18 of this year, compared with 21,907 bales up to the same date a year ago, according to figures compiled from the gins of the county by Miles H. Ware, special agent for the census department of the U. S. gov ernment. This is somewhat lower than last year and causes the read ers of The Star to vary their guess es somewhat on the amount of the entire crop. The crop is later and • may catch up with a year ago with a good season for harvest, but the wet weather seriously cut the crop, others contend.

HOOVER SUPPORT ASKED OF 1T!3 HERE 8Y SPEAKER Says Election Of Smith Would Be Greatest Calamity—Wants To Make A Saloon Party. "I want to urge you men and women to support Mr. Herbert Hoo ver. that great executive approved by President Woodrow Wilson,” de clared Congressman Nathan Newby of California, a native of North Carolina who is delivering a series of anti-Smith speeches in North Carolina. He was speaking Satur day and there was hand-clapping all over the court room when he made the statement. The court room was about two-thirds filled. Some of them were Republicans, , however, and others were known to be strong Smith supporters, but the bulk were anti-Smith voters. The crowd was rather large con sidering the fact that other places were drawing on the people. Cole Blease was speaking at Gastonia, a big wedding was under way and | the big Saturday night shopping | was going on. but many turned aside long enough to hear Mr. New ! by. Mr. Newby devoted most of his attack of Governor Smith because of his stand on prohibition and charged that he was a member of Tammany which had been a traitor to Cox and navis, the last two presi dential candidates, yet "Cox and Davis arc kissing the hand that smote them," "The election of Alfred Smith to the presidency would be the great est calamity that could befall America,” declared Congressman Newby. "Our friends of the Dem ocratic fold are urging us to sup port him because of party loyalty, but I tell you as a Democrat that there are times when party loyalty should be tossed to the winds and we should vote our convictions and for principles. That time has come." "In all of the legislative career of Afred Smith, he has voted against every moral issue and in the inter est of the liquor people. He sent Borman E. Mack down to the Hous ton convention to try to get a wet plank written in the platform. They wouldn't believe that Mack was speaking for Smith, but when Mr. Smith was asked about, it, he wired back that he did want a wet plank. They refused to give it to him and yet he was nominated. Just as soon as the nomination was over and lie felt that he had it. lie; repudiated the dry plank and every since has done the best he can to make the Democratic party the saloon party.” t "A man who would repudiate his party is not worthy of the honor j that has been accorded him as standard bearer of his party. Smith has let it be known that he is a wet candidate and practised a piece of Tammany strategy by taking a wet stand in .the hope of capturing the, vote of the North and hoping that the South would stay in the Democratic fold as it has always done. Hits Mr. Raskob. "Tlie courtesy of selecting a na tional chairman is accorded the party leader arid whom did he select? Mr. Raskob. an out-stand ing. big-business Republican, a member of the most exclusive Re publican club in America, dominated by that Republican leader, Mr. Vare. 1 And I might tell you that he hoped j to. get Vare's support, but.. Vare ! wouldn't come over. Democratic j leaders are when they ask us to support the Democratic ticket out of party loyalty when their leader, Mr. Smith himself has picked as his chairman Mr. Raskob, a big busi ness Republican who has never voted the Democratic ticket in his life. . Congressman Newby charged that Smith and Raskob hate entered a conspiracy to deliver the Democratic party into the hands of a branch of the Republican party. Club Women Begin Rehearsing Play For Show Nov. 9 “Mile A Minute" To Be Shown Here By Shelby Woman’s Club. Director Here. One hundred Shelby people will begin tonight rehearsing the big play to be given here on Friday night. November 9, by the Shelby Woman’s club.

With a hundred Shelby people appearing in the play the show should be one of the best home-tal ent exhibitions presented here in years. Three Unstudied Photos of Governor Smith No political leader of recent years has possessed Governor Al fred E. Smith’s knack of being intensely human despite the cares of political office. These three photos show him in his unstudied moments: At left, the nominee responding happily to cheers of the crowd on his Southern tour; center, a golf links snapshot, and, right, in the happiest role of all, that of being the'sort of grandad that a young feller wants around. The drawing, is an artist’s conception of the governor’s humble start in life as a newsboy in lower Kcw York. Boyer And Johnson Come Back To Churches Thieves Get Two Autos Here During Wedding Ceremony On Saturday Night First National Moves Into Five Million Resources The First National bank has climbed over the big hill. An announcement from the bank, appearing in an advertise ment in The Star today, places the resources of the institution at "Over Five Million Dollars." According to a statement from the cashier, Mr. Forrest Eskridge, the five million dol lar mark was reached and past during October. As bank resources are taken to be an accurate index of the prosperity of a city, au thorities point to this growth as evidence that Shelby is on its way. Mrs. J. W.

Dover Car And Henry Ed wards’ Car Stolen. Edwards Car Found. "The Shadow," Shelby's elusive house burglar, had one put over on him Saturday night—or. perhaps, “The Shadow" staged it himself.

Blease Slashes At Hoover Democrats; Boosts Gov. Smith Republican Campaigner Fills Court House Here. Hot After Smith. Jake F. Newell, the fire-eating insurgent of the North Carolina G. O. P„ came to Shelby Saturday afternoon and attracted to the county court house what was con sidered one of the largest Repubr lican audiences in a score of years. For years untold the gatherings at Republican speakings here have been small with a few scores of the old reliables listening in, but this year with the party holding some hope of upsetting the state the Republicans of Cleveland are sum moning in every party into. That fact together with the well-known entertaining ability of Newell prac tically filled the large court room. There mhy have been anti-Smith Democrats in the audience, but for the most part it was made up of straight Republican voters, many of whom have taken little interest in politics for years but are going to extend their major efforts to carry Cleveland county and the state this fall. It was the second big audience of the day for the court house. Sena tor Cole Blease having spoken to the Democrats earlier in the day. hater in the evening Judge Nathan Newby orated for the anti-Smiths. Each side had its inning Saturday. Mr. Newell, to use a Republican phrase. “spoke up one side and down the other,” but he centered his forceful argument in an attack ! on the immigration and prohibition j orinciales of, ^.Democratic candi date for president. Considered one of the most en tertaining of Republican campaign ers in the state, Newell will speak again Saturday night, at 7:30 at I Kings Mountain.

Music was pro vided to enliven the occasion, and some very pleasing souvenns wcrc distributed. The Acord is Shelby's latest ad dition to the long department store list, the store featuring a large var iety of merchandise ranging from simple trinkets up to furniture, in cluding ready-to-wear in all its de . partments. The remains of a lost civilization are being searched for in Soviet territory. They don't say wdio lost the civilization, but we can guess. —Punch. No Such Animal, He Says. South Wants Negro In His Place. “Talk about being a Hoover Democrat. He’s simply a liar; there ain't no such animal,” de clared the inimitable Senator Cole L. Btease when he dropped down Shelby Saturday morning enroute to Kings Mountain and Gastonia and was persuaded to deliver a short speech here in the court house. The senator had not expected to speak here, but when so many wanted to hear him, he was per suaded to talk awhile an the poli tical issues in this campaign and in ten minutes notice a crowd that filled the court house was on hand. It was a cheering, roaring crowd as Senator Blease stabbed and jab bed the Republicans and called on the Democrats to remembei the struggle in the south for White Supremacy and help preserve it, for he added” as sure as you live, if Hoover is elected we will have racial trouble in the Sout hagain.” Hoover’s Mixture Order. This warning came after he had told how Secretary Hoover Iras forced the 'white and blacks in his department in Washington to sit together, work together and use the same toilets. “These white clerks are afraid to raise airy protest for fear they will lose their jobs, he added, leading up to this by relating how a negro Republican leader in Ohio went to Washington before the convention, asked Mr. Hoover to take down the partitions and com pel whites and colored to sit and work together. That negro, said Senator Blease told Mr. Hoover if he didn’t obey his command the negro delegates at Kansas City would not vote for him as the nomi nee. Mr. Hoover made the change and the negro went back, to Ohio, announced himself a candidate for delegate and uron out over Senator Fees. When Senator Fess made his speech in the convention he was forced to retire because the negro delegate had his seat. Would Hang smnn. ‘•Tell me A1 Smith would do any worse than that? If he does, just invite him down to South Carolina. I know where there is a big tree and the largest plow line in Ander (Continued on page eight.) Officers Capture Copper Rum Plant Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock county officers found and destroyed a 50-gallon copper distillery and 60 gallons of beer in the Buffalo sec tion east of Shelby on the B. T. Falls place. A run had been made just a short time before the cap ture, it appeared, and wood had been hauled in for another run when the officers arrived. Those in the raid were J. ft Hord. Harvey Harrelson and B. F. Hord Mrs. Hoey Speaks To Casar Woman’s Club Mrs. Clyde R. Hoey addressed the Democratic Woman's club at Casar on Saturday afternoon. A large and interested crowd was present to hear Mrs. Hoey who delivered a very effective speech that was re j ceived with enthusiasm. Home Folks Swarm By Hundreds To Hear Silver Tongue Of Hoey Shelby Man Thrills Packed Court House In Plea For Smith. Leader Of State Democracy, Falls Says. Clyde R. Hoey this afternoon., brought home to Shelby the ora- ; tory that has been swaying two states and long after he started speaking in the county court house his home people were shoving and josting outside trying to get within the sound of his magnetic voice. * The first big round of applause came when Chairman B. T Falls of the Democratic party introduc ed Hoey to his large audience as the “leader of the Democratic party in North Carolina.” “From Cherokee to Currituck his name is a household word—here he is: Clyde R. Hoey.” The large crowd packed into every available seat and inch of space in the big court room and gallery was easily the largest to assemble here in year? to hear a political speech. Women, old and young, some with babies in their arms, mingled with the men folks in the big gathering. The speaker opened his barrage, one that has drawn overflowing crowds in all sections of North Car olina. at the very beginning by de claring that he never any more mentioned the Republican record in North Carolina because “l am ashamed of it.” Then he moved on to an advocacy of North Carolina candidates and finally made an eloquent, moving appeal for the man of the masses who asks the j votes of his party to be president— Alferd E. Smith. (A more complete report of the address, which was not finished when this was written, will be pub | lished Wednesday.) 1 j
