97-Year-Old Is To
Vote For A1 Smith
Mrs. Cynthia Young 97 years of
age, of Lincoln county, perns ps the
oldest or one of the oldest Demo
crats in this county. Intends to vote
the Democratic ticket Nov. 6. all
the way from A1 Smith down to the
township officers.
Mrs. Yount, who is nearing the
century mark, is still able to get
I about by the aid of a crutch. She
has seen many presidents come and
go, has lived through the Civil War,
Spanish-American War, World War,
and is now living through the battl
ing campaign of 1928.
Had women been voting before the
Civil War she could have voted in
the days before the Civil War. She
had lived to see this nation emerge
from an undeveloped forest into a
civilization that startles the world:
has seen the log cabin school re
placed by modern schools, seen the
stage coach and the trail road go,
and the auto and paved highways
take their place. The radio, the air
plane, the telephone, the daily
newspaper, trips by plane the oceans
were unthought of when Mrs. Yount
was a girl. She has been a constant
reader of the Lincoln County News
since its establishment, read after
the half dozen editor of the News;
has always read the Lincoln pa
per.
A 90-year-old woman up in Cleve
land has announced her intentions
to vote Democratic this year, but
the Lincoln Democrat has scored
a few more years.

Although New refused to make!

I tred E. Smith because of his relig- |
ion.
‘ This is the second suspension or

Asheville Citizen.
The Asheville Chapter of the
knights of the Ku Klux Klan had its
inning Tuesday nieht at the Bun
combe county courthouse when the
Rev. Dr. \V. Earl Hofalen. imperial
lecturer of the Klan. who looked
more like a school boy than a lead
er of the hooded host, delivered a
tirade against the supporters of At
Smith and what he termed the
Democratic party's nominees alco
holism, alienism, Romanism Tam
manyism. and Negroism.
For two hours or more Hotalen.

i peal to bigotry, intolerance, and ig
norance that should take the cake
j in this neck of the woods were it
i not for the speech delivered here
| several days ago by the Rev M. F.
Ham, who made the declaration that
| the curse of God would be upon
: any man who voted for A1 Smith in
(this election.
The speaker was introduced by the
Rev. Clyde Long, who was requested
to do so by Carl Jones, of the local
chapter of the Klan. He was intro
duced as an imperial lecturer of
the Klan. Immediately preceding
the speaking, the song ‘'America'’
was sung and prayer was offered.
S A male quartet sang a song about
j sending Al’s folks back to Rome
and about effacing Rome’s plan to
j rule in America.
Forum Is Sold.
While the crowd was waiting for
the speaker to appear Salesman
Baker sold copies of The Fellow
ship Forum to members of the au
dience. the paper having glaring
! headlines saying "Solid South-Solid
for Hoover; Srmth-Rum-Rome Bad
ly Beaten.'* After Hotalen finished
his address, a collection was taken
up by the Klan for the purpose of
financing the fight on Smith. Ho- ’
talen said, however, that Republican
money was not wanted.
The audience filled the court- j
room, some of the listeners having j
; to stand. The speaker's remarks oc
, casionally brought forth applause.
| but even some of his most serious ;
j statements brought smiles of indul- ;
i gence from spectators.
I Locally, the two Asheville dailies,
and more particularly The Asheville
Citizen, came in for the denuncia
tion of Hotalen. He also paid his
respects to E. W. Ew-bamk, chair
man of the Henderson county Dem
ocratic executive committee, for the
latter’s expose of his career in Ten- j
nessee and Alabama. Mr. Ewbank
sometime ago made public certain
information he had obtained about
| Hotalen being indicted by the !
■ Hamilton county, Tenn., grand jury
on a charge of perjury and about
him leaving the state to avoid ar
rest.
An Infernal Liar.
Hotalen declared the statement j
false. He termed it "malicious, libel
ous, and slanderous.” He said he ■
proved Mr. Ewbank ‘‘an infernal liar
before a crowded house at Hender
sonville” Evidently, Mr. Hotalen.
although a minister, does rot be
lieve that a soft answer turneth
away wrath. He read to the audience
Mr. Ewbank's statement in which [
the latter quoted The Birmingham
News as to Hotalen s activities in
Alabama. That newspaper said, ac- j
cording to Mr. Ewbank, that Hotal
en had been proscribed by the Hols
ton Conference of the Methodist
church for his radical views and
utterances and that he conducted a
incendiary revival under Klan aus
pices in Alabama until exposed by
The News. The Alabama paper also
said that The Chattanooga Times j
as well as the Birmingham Newt
published his indictment and prac
tically charged, him with being a
fugitive from justice.
Hotalen then vented his wrath
upon The Birmingham News, declar
ing that newspaper is a "subsidized
supporter of "Alcohol Smith ’. He
also declared that Victor Hansen.

> Free Inspection Service
for the first 1500 miles
THE modern automobile is
a finely built piece of ma
chinery and it will aland a
lot of abuse. Considering
the work it does, it give* sur
prisingly little trouble. But
there isn’t a car made that
will not run better and
longer if given proper care.
The first few hundred
miles are especially impor
tant because that is when
the mechanism of your car
is being broken in.
Proper attention during
this period will lengthen its
life and prevent unnecessary
trouble later on.
We are particularly inter
ested in this matter because
we believe it is our duty not
only to make a good auto
mobile, but to help the
owner get the greatest pos
sible use over the longest
period of time at a mini
mum of trouble and
expense.
With this in view, the
entire Ford dealer organ
ization has been specially
trained and equipped to ser
vice the new Model A ear.
Furthermore, we have in
strorted every Ford
dealer to give the
following Free
Inspection Service at 500,
1000 anti 1500 miles:
Check battery
t'.herk generator charging rata
Check distributor adjustment
Check carburetor adjustment
Check lights
Check brakes
Check shock absorber adjust
ment
Check tire inflation
( heck Steering gear
Change engine oil
Lubricate chassis
- No charge is made for
labor or materials incidental
to this service, except, of
course, where repairs are
necessary through accident,
misuse or neglect. The only
charge is for new oil.
See your Fort! dealer,
therefore, and get this Free
Inspection of a our new car
at 500. 1000 and 1500
miles. Find out, too, how
little it will cost to have your
ear given a thorough going*
over at regular periods
thereafter.
A checking-up by experi
enced mechanics, together
with oiling and greasing
every 500 miles, will add
months and years to the life
of vour ear and mean more
economical and plea*
surable motoring
every mile you drive.
