Expect Record Crowd
For Last Day Of Fair
fCONTJNUKP FROM PAOR ONF ,
and greyhound racing, but have
heard about it, are euppoted tor the
final day races.
Look Over Exhibits.
The crowds yesterday and toda*
gave a major portion of their time I
to a closer inspection of the won
derful array of exhibits and dis
plays in the agricultural building,
the poultry and livestock shows.
Numerous prominent out-of-coun
ty people. Including several newspa-1
per editors, were here yesterday and
were highly complimentary of the
farm and community booths, After
seeing these booths, they declared,
tt was easier to understand why j
Cleveland is far famed as an agri
cultural county. Those who have j
not visited the agricultural and
household exhibits arc certainly
passing up a real treat. This depart
ment. skilfully assembled aryl ar
ranged, is a show within itself
Every phase of modern farm life
and household activity is portrayed
there in a remarkable manner.
Commercial exhibits in the manu-1
facturer's building are also unusual
ly attractive. Hundreds who at
tended the opening day Tuesdn y |
and gave over most of their time tt ;
entertainment features are expected |
to swarm the exhibit halls when \
they return Saturday.
An Indication of the record :
crowds attending is the fact that!
the big grandstand has been filled
and overflowing before every after
noon and night event yet. And
around the half mile track hun
dreds have fought tlrcV ways to the
track wire to see from that vantage
spot.

something like that-had been
found on the Hanes firm near
there. A telephone call from Shelby
to Wlnston-Balem today brought
the description of the snake found
there and it tallied in every detail
with the snake left near Grensboeo
as dead. It was the smallest of th>
giant pythons In Welliver’s collec
tion but he Immediately wired that
he would give $250 for the return of
the snake If it were alive. The reply
was that the snake was thought to
be dead. Now the mystery is, if it
is the same snake, how did the big
python, thought to be dead in
Greensboro, get from Greensboro to
TCnstonf col, Welliver will find out1

while governor.
Intimation in some quarters to
that former Governor McLean, if
he should be at all active in this
campaign. might incline toward
Mr. Maxwell, who may also have
some hope of the support of Sena
tor Cameron Morrison, Just as it Js
apparently generally believed that
Governor Gardner wtll be inclined
toward support of Mr. Ehrlnghaus.
Two of the members of the *'Qov
erons' Club" have said they will
take no active part in the guber
natorial campaign thtl time; and it
Is said that Senator Morrison prob
ably feels the same way. since he
has his own campaign to look aft
er.
The Daniels announcement has
so far failed to materialize, and
many there are who doubt if it will
ever come, while others think it
may. Willis Smith has said noth
ing since his accident near Char
lotte a month ago. but intimates
that he may be heard from within
the next two or three weeks, with
out giving any indication of what
he may say. Attorney General
Brummttt is expected to make*his!
announcement soon, but close
friends say his platform will wait
for another year. He will probably
make it from his home town of Ox

that the youth captured with the
car was Foust. By travelling so
much at night since he escaped
prison he was near a collapse from
loss of sleep and had gone to sleep
in tile stolen car in the heart of
Gaffney. When he was returned
here he was taken to the Rogers
motor fii-m and his footprint com
pared with that left in the aban

by Chief Poston, the officer says
Foust opened up and told of his
escape and the breaking in of the
two garages. He told, the chief says,
of getting away from the guard in
a cane field, and of his harrowing
experience working his way back to
Shelby by night. In coming he swam
two rivers, he said
He was still in jaU here today and
local officers were undecided
whether to send hit" back to fin

Grove Wins As Yount Derringer

Sportsman's Park St. Louis, Oct.
The Philadelphia Athletics un
l, inhered their heavy artillery on
the enemy's home battleground yes
terday, fired two booming salvos
that crushed the youthful Cardi
nals' sharpshooter, Paul Derringev,
and moved triumphantly toward
their goal of a third world baseball
championship.
The final score was 6 to 2. The
Athletics, in a characteristically
skillful exhibition, subdued St,
Louis in the opening skirmish of
the big! series behind the somewhat
erratic left-handed pitching of the
great Robert Moses Grove.
A howling, hopeful crowd of 38,
329 customers came out to watch
the Cardinals in their fresh at
tempt to stop Connie Mack's base
ball steam-roller. They saw the
great Grove, touched for two runs
In the eery first Inning. steady
down and pitch himself out of a
flock of critical situations in hold

scoreless for the rest of the game.
Macks Are Outhlt.
The Red Birds outhit the world
champions. 13 to 11, but the big
guns of the A's were more destruc

fall of the youthful Derringer in
decisive fashion. Four runs in a
wild third inning, when Derringer
lost control, forced in the tying run.
Then a single by Jimmy Foxx with
the bases full, decided the game.
As a parting salute, A1 Simmons
drove a home run into the left
field bleachers in the seventh in
ning with Mickey Cochrane on
base. After that wallop the fading
Cardinal hopes flickered out. Der

Talk New Mail Route
From Waco’# Office
A new rural mall route out of
Waco is being considered now, ac
cording to information learned to
day. The movement underway would
take a portion of Shelby route one
and a part of a Cherryville route
and create a Waco route. At pres
ent there is no rural delivery out of
Waco, and the probability of the
new route being established is
doubtful as yet, it is believed. f

Defraud Action
Judge Webb Dismissj
Asheville Court
Action Brought In Connection With
Over Three Million Dollar
Bond Sale.
Asheville, Oct. 2.—Wallace B.j
Davis and William D. Harm, for-1
mer AsheviUe financiers, were, ae-‘
quitted of dharges of using the!
mails to defraud by a jury in Unit-!
ed States district court here ycster- ;
day.
The Jury, which received the easel
late Wednesday, brought in its ver
diet at 9:15 a., m.
The charges were brought in con-,
nection with the sale of $3,655,000 !
in bonds of the Central Securitic. i
company of Asheville, Inc., a sub-'
sidiary of the Central Bank an
Trust company of Asheville.
Davis was president of the two
companies which both failed last
Fall while Harris was vice president
of the securities company.
The government alleged financial
statements of the securities com
pany, mailed to prospective cus
tomers for the bonds, did not re
flect the true condition of the com
pany.
Davis has been convicted In the j
state courts of publishing a false!
statements of the bank's condition!
and of defrauding the bank through'
a conspiracy with Colonel Luke Lea,
of Nashville, Tenn., and Luke Lea,
Jr. Appeals to the supreme court
are pending in both cases.
No demonstration was made by
the crowd in the court room when
the verdict wns announced by W
C. Rector, of Marshall, the Jury
foreman.
Davis, who had sat impassive
through the four and a half weeks
of the trial, smiled expansively; Ha
brother, Russell C. Davis, reached
over the rail and shook hands with
him- Mrs. Dsvis was not in the
court room. She recently suffered a
nervous breakdown and did not at
tend the trial..
There was little change In Harris’
expression, but tears came into the
eyes of his wide and his sister, Mrs.
H. C. Deal, otf Hickory, who were
with him.
When Judge E. Yates Webb ac
cepted the verdict, dismissed the
defendants and adjoruned court,
Mrs. Harris walked over to Zeb F.
Curtis, her husband’s attorney, and
thanked him.
