Hundreds Attend 100th Birthday Of Mrs. E. Houser icojmKtrxD raoii rsaa onk ■ ehureh and shook hands with th< hundreds who gathered around her She remembered many whoip sh< had not seen before in years and after a trying day, expressed her self as feeling as well as usual. A beautiful bouquet of flowers was presented to her by the flower com mute who also remembered the vis itors 70 years and over whr» had gathered for the celebration. Open Dinner. Il bountiful dinner was spread on the tables In the church yard The tablas were not long enough to hold all the good things that had been brought for the occasion. Rev. Mr. Waldrop preached on the subject, “At Evening Time There Shell Be Ught," recalling the evening time of nature and the evening time of life. Or. Zeno Wall pointed out the pro gram of the nation in science, in vention, etc., during the lifetime of Mrs. Houter and drew some lessons from Bunyan’s “Pflgrlm’s Progress.’’ Special music was furnished during the morning and afternoon services in which oid hymns were sung. Members of the Elizabeth choir «eng "Speak Gently to Mother" and Mrs. H. E. Waldrop and Mrs C. D. TTiackston sang mothers song. Spe cial selections were also sung by the Ktngs Mountain quartet. A Dhton Favorite. One of the favorite songs of the late Rev. T. Dtxon was rendered by special request by Charlie Alexan der. Mr. Dixon was a pioneer Bap tist minister of the county and fa ther of three sons and two daugh ters who became nationally known tn pulpit and platform. >4 Presidents. In her century of life Mrs. Houser is* witnessed a remarkable advance *f progress, science and civilisation Those who think “a hundred years more or less" do not mean very much are entirely wrong from Mrs. Houser's viewpoint. Just as an idea—she was bom during the administration of Presi dent Andrew Jackson, "Old Hick ory" and she has Hved through the administration of 24 of the 31 president* of the United States. She was over 10 years of age when Cleveland county was formed, snd was 30 years of age and a mother when the Civil war broke out. In her span—and she may yet witness another—she has lived through many wars among them the War Between the States, the Spanish - American war, two Mexican expe ditions and dosens of expeditions and conflicts with the Indians In the west. Late last week, Just before her 100th birth anniversary, the cente narian was visited by Gov. O. Max Gardner, Federal Judge E. Y Webb, and Hon. Clyde R. Hoey. She not only remembered when they were barefoot boys but she can remem ber when their fathers and their father's fathers before them were youHg men. County Fair To Be Great Event fCONTINOTtD WHOM PAU* ONK I Stars and Stripes Forever, Chinese Pagoda scene, and the Dawn of Freedom. A panorama of the old West, requires 250 feet frontage," will picture events of the famous Pioneer Days. Dewey at ^danlla will be shown in another scene, and the Whirlwind will be a masterpiece, its actual slae being 125 square leet with a firing frontage of 300 feet. The Lone Star will be depicted In fire works over an area of 100 square feet. Then there will be a race of progress — locomotive, automobile and airplane. A gigantic pyrotechni cal Mardi Gras and a salute to Old Glory will wind up the fire works program each evening. Free Attractions. The free attractions promise to be the most sensational and thrilling ever presented before the big grand stand. Among them will be the per formance of the great Huesten troupe, now a feature attraction at Atlantic City. Critics declare this to be the greatest thriller of its type of all time. The Jack Hedder trio, from the Ringling-Barnum circus, will furnish shrieking comedy Dainty Emily fashion-plate of the air, will give her precarious cloud swing, and the sensational somersaulting Seven Da villas will be there as well as the Hughes’ Pets, the well known animal and comedy feature. Races In the daily races here the barrier system of starting the horses will be used for the first time in North Carolina. Some of the fastest horses in the country will be entered. The fair opens on Tuesday. Sep tember 39, and continues through Saturday, Oct 3. Three big transformers have been •rected between the county home and fair grounds by the Southern Public Utilities and the lighting and electrical displays will be bettei than heretofore Good Show Seen In Senate Fight iCONTINLtU r HUM CAUIt UMfc.l form aftrm more appropriate to a gubernatorial campaign than a sen atorial contest, In that he Is a tax reliefer, primarily. He may add planks that are more In line with h!s Present desire to go to the Senate. Prank D. Qrtst, commissioner of labor, and first to announce opposi tion to Senator Cameron Morrison, with the bulk of hts duties taken from him and with no apparent de sire to reorganize the Department of Labor as provided by the 1931 law, Is left free to conduct a cam paign, which Is expected to have many elements of the spectacular Senator Morrison refused, some two years ago, to shake hands with him in the Governors office Grist is paying him "Oor Bob." Robert R Reynolds. Asheville, probably the best showman of the bunch, has announced on a modifi cation platform. While all avail able evidence seem to indicate a trend toward a let-up in the pro hibition laws, and people now can vote one way and talk another, it is [not considered likely that he will be able to over-turn the long estab lished dry sentiment in the State. But he will make a showing, for he doubtless lies awake nights think ing up stunts that will get him in to teh limelight, even if the novelty of his showmanship has been worn off by the two campaigns in recent years. Morrison. But Senator Morrison will con tinue along his way, probably an noyed, but not particularly worried, by the increasing number of op i ponents. As he has said, it will serve to split his opposition. He has enemies who would like to see 'him defeated. Some developed dur ing his campaign and others in his term as Governor Still others opposed his A1 Smith support. Many of these came back to him when he catiaed the appointment of Prank R. McNlnch, leader of the Smith opposition, to the Federal Power Commission, and others were alie nated by that same act. They will use the fact that he has and will use money In the campaign, against him I However, friends of Senator Mor mon point out he is a patriotic and i a loyal North Carolinian, and he is j absolutely fearless—two traits which | the citizens of this State admire ;He had those qualities before he had money and has lost none (ft either of them. Moreover, he spoke out In public in his gubernatorial campaign and, although 10 years have been added to his age, he may be expected to conduct a lively cam paign for the Senate. He has a strong nucleus of supporters in al most every country in the State <o start with. iioey Mrongrst. And his most formidable pros pective opponent Is not likely to oppose him. Friends of Clyde K. Hoey say he will not run, although he keeps them guessing, sort of plav ing with them. Despite the expres sed belief that Qovernor Gardner appointed Senator Morrison with a view of himself being able to de feat him, Governor Gardner has said definitely that he will not en ter the race. In fact, unless present signs fail. Governor Gardner will be a supporter, quietly probable, of his appointee. All admit "Cam" will be Irard to beat and many doubt if he will be forced into a second primary. Earlier entries and spectacular entrants in the Senatorial race will have the effect of forcing out the candidates for Qovernor from two to four months earlier than the usual first of the year starting time. It will mean a long and substalnad gubernatorial fight, with headquar ters and managers and travel and expenses for a longer period This is a prospect which none of the prospective candidates, all with modest fortunes, relish At best, not one of them could begin to bear his own expenses without seriously crippling his financial condition, and it may have the effect of caus ing some of the present prospects to drop from the list. Another interesting development in that race. A movement is under way to bring out Dr. Frank P. Ora ham, president of the State Univer sity. as a gubernatorial candidate. Whether It is friends, trying to do him an honor, either by actually getting him out for the governor ship, or getting him In line for the presidency of the greater University, or enemies trying to “muddy the water" for the latter position, is not known. The assertion that the State needs a "liberal" governor, in dicates that it is friends, but prob ably without his knowledge or con sent. Friends of A. J. Maxwell are more insistent that the Commissioner of Revenue will be in the race, and within a month or two. This week, in an address at Selma, he took definite issue with Lieutenant Gov ernor R. T. Fountain, who had stat ed that local self-government Is be ing usurped by the Btate. Mr. Max well stated that the Local Govern ment Act, most assailed as usurpa tion, is in reality gr g back to the people some of the power they originally had tinder the Consti tution and which has been lost by court decisions.

BUILDING HOMES LESSJXPENSIVE Washington.—The home builder can get more for his dollar today, reports to government housing ex perts indicate, than he has In the last nine years. And the home-equipping dollar will go farther in most places than it has since early in 1918. The wholesale prices of building materials are at the lowest level since March, 1917. While published wage scales show no decrease, building labor costs are said to have come down during the depression. One reason given for this is the availability of skilled mechan ics who are eager for employment and give their utmost on the job. For instance, the National City hank states in a current bulletin that a workman now lays from 1,200 to 1,400 common bricks a day as compared with 700 formerly Wage Scale Low. Prices of brick, lumber and most other materials have declined con siderably in the last year. Materials Cheap. Statistics of the department of labor shows that on the average building materials which cost $100 in 1926, the index year, can be bought this summer for $80.90. A year ago the cost was $94.70. The price decline in recent months has been slight but steady. Government experts, however, will not hazard a prediction as to whether “rock bottom” has been reached. Although the cost decreases at wholesale of house furnishings has not been as pronounced, prices this summer average 10 per cent less than the index year of 1926. Furniture Reduced. Bedroom, dining room and kitchen furniture prices have declined sub stantially, the index for all house hold furniture having reached 98.5 last December. The biggest slump, however, has been in the prices of furnishings, particularly carpets and galvanised Iron tubs and palls. Household furnishing prices, like most other commodity groups, at tained their peak in 1830, going to the index number of 149.8 In July of that year. Another reported benefit to cur rent builders has been the cost re duction of parts and equipment for dwellings produced "off the job.” Furnaces, laundry, equipment, me chanical refrigeration, lighting fix tures, doors and sashes are being quoted at reduced prices. "Your Otto had a fight with my Jack." "Oh, well, boys must be boys." ‘Tm glad you take it like that— I'll get the ambulance to bring your Otto home.” May Try Capone In reply to Alphonse “Scarface Al” Capone's plea that he be giver a change of venue from the courl of Federal Judge Janies H. Wilker son in Chicago, when he is tried or charges of defrauding Uncle San: in income taxes, Federal Judge John P. Barnes (above) may heal the case. The notorious gangstei changed his plea of guilty to not guilty and asked a change in judges when an expected leniency was not forthcoming. Pure Water Essential to Health Typhoid and Other THseates Giving Way Before Purifi ration Methods, bnt IPs Wise to Play Safe. By R. S. COPELAND, M. D., V, S. Senator from New Tort. . Former Commissioner of health, yew York City. WATER is one of the esscn tula of life. Plants, ani mala and man cannot exist without this vital element. Not mil water is desirable. Even the aa sients knew this. Though they realised that sickness often occurred after drinking certain water, they did not know why. It is only within the past half century that accurate methods of test ing water and Dr. CopeSand punlying water nave been devised. During this period of time it was discovered that certain diseases can be carried by contaminated water supplies. Among the diseases that are car ried by water, are typhoid and par atyphoid fevers, cholera and dysen tery. Fortunately, cholera is rarely seen in this country. The others have greatly decreased, but stlii occur. The germs of these diseases enter the water supply with sewage. Sewage present in drinking water is very likely to lead to disease. It is imperative that such contamination be prevented. Water containing no germs Is clear, tasteless and odorless. It is a safe water to drink. It Is as Burned, of course, it does not contain any lead or an excess of other min erals or chemicals. Though odors and taste in drink ing water may be disagreeable, they are not always harmful. Frequently where the process of chlorination is used for purifying the water, there may be a peculiar taste to the water. Due to vegetative growths in and around the reservoir, the water may assume a peculiar taste and yet be perfectly safe to drink. The water supplied to any a ell regulated community is regularly in spected and subjected to rigid testa Methods of purification, aeration and careful planning for abundance of supply, are responsible for the purs water of the civilised community. The expense and energy expended n this direction have been more than repaid. The reduction in the death rate of certain diseases in all large titles can be attributed only to th< control of the water supply. Answers to Health yuenw 1 AMANDA.
