Winter Lets Ip,
Kansas City, Oct. 21.—Old man
winter’s premature rendition of
“button up your overcoat” was due
to end tonight in the middle west,
its achoes lingering In Oklahoma
and Texas and In states east of the
Mississippi. Snow was removed by
rising temperatures and sunshine
and artist Jack frost was ready to
take the stage and complete the
transformation of wooded hillsides
to crimson and gold ready for the
frolic of a promised Indian summer.
Relief for the blizzard-swept and
shivering northeastern states was
thus promised from the land in
which much of the eastern weather
is brewed.

Gainey was shot down on High

from church with Annie Lee Jimi

young negress. Dave Rippy and his
wife, Mamie, were walking home
from church just ahead of the Jim

latter was shot. Ail three continued
' home when Gainey fell fatally
wwufrtted. and when officers arrested
them some hours after the shooting
they claimed not to know who shoe

that another man ran up from De

State Highway
From Shelby To

\ new Highway outlet for

surety last week when Com mis
! sloner McNair, of the sixth dis

| state take over the llncolnton
highway from the Iredelt county
line to LJncolnton a distance of
32 miles, thus connecting a series
of state highways from Greens
boro to Shelby and on east and
i west In both directions.
led by E. B. Jeffries, Greensboro
publisher, and others, citizens of
several sections touched by the new
connection have worked, for this
road for many months.
| With state maintenance of the
new strip Shelby people may now
ride over a state highway by a near
cut to Greensboro, and at the same
time a new trade area is opened up
for several cities such as Moore* -
vllle. Llncolnton, Shelby, and Salis
bury.
The new strip of roadway, or
rather the strip taken over by the
state will connect highway 306 from
Shelby to Llncolnton with route 150
which leads from Iredell county to
Salisbury connecting with highway
10. In other words this connecting
link opens up what might be con
sidered as another highway across
the entire state, placing people who
live between Shelby and Salisbury
where they may reach either of the
two main highways. 10 and 30. with

Cox Thinks Democrats Likely To
Repeal Republican Tariff Bill
Economic Conditions Would Be Bet
tered At Once By Demo
crats.
Lima. O. Oct. 22.—James M. Cox.
Democratic presidential nominee in
1920, in a political address here
said, that while he did not speak
for the party, if a Democratic house
and senate are elected at the Nov
ember election "the existing tariff
law will be repealed without hear
ing or other ceremonies '*
He added: ‘The schedules which;
will and doubtless should be retain
ed are those relating to agriculture, j
rhey are probably no more harm-;
ful than helpful.”
This was Mr. Cox’s first speak- j
ng appearance -in the Ohio Demo-1
:ratic campaign.
Destroy Depression
The logical consequences yf a
Democratic congress, Mr. Cox said,
would be that “we will destroy the
depression now hanging over busi
ness. We will reestablish the cor
dial relations with the nations of
the earth. We will say to our manu
facturers that It Is not necessary
for them to build plants in foreign
countries.’*
“Any further readjustments of
the tariff,’* he said, “should only
come after a complete Investigation
by a tariff commission made up of
economic specialists—not a commis
sion constituted, in part by the
representatives of special interests.*'
“Not only have Republican lead
ers throughout the shears claimed a
monopoly on our prosperity, but in
too many instances they have treat
ed the American people as chil

The court house ni filled with
men and women and their Demo

speeches of a half dosen leaden who
took the floor for brief speeches,
preceding Mr. Ehrlnghaus. O. 8
Anthony, Democratic chairman was
the presiding officer and the first
speaker, Peyton McSwaln, Demo
cratic nominee for the state sen
ate, discussed national issues for m
few minutes, then answered some
of the Republican promises being
made In Cleveland. "They tell us in
Cleveland if Republicans are elect
ed, they will abolish offices, cut
down expenses and reduce the tax
rate. Lincoln, Catawba, and Burke
county went Republican two years
ago and the Republicans there in
charge have made no move in this
direction. Their promises sue pure
bunk. If taxes can be reduced the
Democrats will do it and not Re
publicans. Their records are against
such procedure," declared Mr, Mc
Swaln.
Greetings From Mecklenburg.

Judge Currie, Joe Garibaldi and
Ham Jones of Charlotte who in
short, peppy speeches told of a great
Democratic rally and barbecue at

When Clint Newton introduced j
Mr. Ehringhaus as the "next gover- ’
nor," the genial gentleman from
the Elizabeth City section pleasant
ly referred to the compliment with j
the statement "your proposition in- *■

followed this passing reference to |
Ills likelihood of being the next gov
ernor.
"North Carolina’s march of pro
gress has been lead by Democrats,
Imbued with Democratic principles
of government.” declared the speak
er as he in turn pointed out some
great achievement under Governors
Ay cock, Glenn, Kitchen, Bickett,
Craig, McLean, Morrison and Gard- ;
ner, each of whose administration I
was marked for some particular
achievement.
Refreshing Campaign.
The speaker was free from bit- ‘
terness and abuse, meeting only
those issues raised by the Republi
can campaign speakers, C. A. Jonas
and Charlie Pritchard. He flayed
the whispering charges by Repub
licans that there had been crooked
ness in J. W. Bailey’s nomination
for the U. S. senate and quoted
Senator Nye, who upon investiga
tion of the alleged fradulent use of
money that "it was refreshing to see
such a campaign after finding what
had been found in other states.”
State la Dry.
Answering the charge that North
Carolina Democratic speakers art
but tools in the hands of Raskob,
Mr. Ehringhaus reminded his hear
ers that Mr. Raskob had no strings
