Mr. Hoey made one of the most stirring speeches heard here during the campaign—a typical Hoey speech that carried his hearers into outburst* of applause time after tiny' and sent*them Ifbmc eager in pile up a Democratic majority next Tuesday, In his speech Mr. Hoey covered both national and state*issues, par ticularly Issues advanced by Repub lican campaigners. School Cost Average. The Democracy of North Carolina, he declared, goes before the people on its own record of achievement for the past 30 years. The construc tive accomplishments under a Dem ocratic regime faEjfijjjree decades in North Carolina were recalled in de tail. In the matter of public school work, efficiency and economy were emphasized. In North Carolina, th" average cost per year to educate a child is *35 30. • while the average In the United States is *71, In North Carolina it costs only half what tlie average cost per child is in the United States.

In North Carolina children with sick minds are administered to; and the deaf, dumb, blind and insane are (provided for.

Road work in this state was mentioned as an outstanding achievement, having been financed without additional tax levy on Jand. Referring to the ability of the Re publicans to fool the people, the speaker stated that the Republican? met in Raleigh two years ago and declared for ‘‘prohibition, civiliza tion and Christianity—they had never been in favor of these things before." All the prohibition statutes in North Carolina were put on the books by the Democratic party, against the protest of the Republi can party; prohibition is better en forced in North Carolina than in icon rrscEO on rvr.a tbn >• Credit Merchants Postpone Meeting Owing to a comtict with other meetings and the absence trout the city of a number el prominent mer chants who do a credit business, tne meeting of credit merchants adver tised to be held In the court how? tonight has been postponed until a later date Due notice wiil be made and all credit me;chants notified later of this meet.ng. the object of which will be to sponsor a pay-up campaign 33c Bushel Is Seed Price, Exchange Basis A circular issued by the Southern Cotton Oil Co. says: "Effective at once we beg to quote you our prices on cbiton seed as fol lows: Wagon Jots $22.00 ton, $1.10 per hundred or 3Jc per bushel, ex change for meal 100 lbs. or per sack. $1.36.
