But it may be said without dan tor of controversy that the old cam paign motto about the political pot boiling will not apply to this sec tion now. for certainly it is not boiling, There is some interest, it is true, on the part of campaigners, the usual workers and a percentage of the electorate, but the voters as a ’w hole are not aroused.

If You’re Puzzled About How To Vote, Here’s Campaign Lowdown Wliat Is The Difference Between The Two Parties? Why Vote For Either? tBy Rodney Dutcher) Washington, Oft. 31—The vast and Vital issues of the presidential campaign, cleaving the two major parties by gaping chasms, are now pretty well defined. * What is the difference between the Republican party and the Dem ocratic party? Is it only a matter of labels? Don't be silly. The fore most issues of our time aiid the position of the two parties on them are these: 1. The God-Help-l!s Issue Republicans: The depression is a prosperous period as compared with what we'd have had without Hoover. Elect Roosevelt and you ain't seen nothin' vet Democrats' Dott t he afraid of the Hoes*-man. fts on1' Hoovei - Th* 1 *111 t* A 1 ht T it.i,t .Republicans The Democratic candidates and speakers are lying1 abotit the * depression, the budget our candidate, the gold standard and otu' record. Democrats: The Republican can didates and speakers are lying about thh depression, tlje budget, our candidate, the gold standard and our record. 3. The You're-A-Flop Issue Republicans: Roosevelt made a mess of everything as governor of New York and Speaker Garner and a Democratic house made a mess of the last congress. Democrats: Hoover has made a mess of the United States. 4. The Program Issue Republicans: The Democrats have no program and it is sure to ruin us. Democrats: The Republicans have no program and it has ruuied us completely. Tlir l.ilrrarv Itigest ls-.nr Republicans: 8*raa .votes don t mean anything.

Raleigh, Oct. 31.—Indicative of the decreased industrial activity in North Carolina is the great reduc tion in numbers of industrial acci- ; dents and injuries to workers.; amount oi workmen s compensation I and medical costs paid during the j last fiscal year, as compared with the year before ns shown in the bi- j ennial report of the N. C Industrial Commission, about to be issued. Workers injured decreased from 28,750 the year to 25,886. or 2 861* last year, despite the greater ef forts in times oi depression to get compensation for minor injuries and to continue to draw compensa tion as long as possible. Of the 2ft,-: 886 cases handled last year, up to June 30, 18.512 were medical cases only; that is, the injured worker 1 received medical aid ahd was back at work in less than a week, receh ing no compensation tor lost time Ol the remaining injured workers 60 died and two were permanently and totally disabled; 576 were per manently disabled as to some mem ber. and 6.735 were totally disabled, but ior a limited period. Total costs to the injuries of the 25,886 workers during the year reached $1,142,502, as compared with costs of $1,511,806 the year before Last year the doctors and hospitals received $431,653.00. as compared with $532',728 the year before, for medical attention given injured workers ,or a reduction of $1,793 In This County. Cleveland county had 464 cast's the past year, of which 296 were medical only and in which no com pensation was paid. The remaining cases included no deaths and none permanently disabled; 10 workers who have some partial • disability that is permanent, and 158 who suf fered total but temporarf efts j ability. Injured workers, or families of those killed, received $7,374 in ■ workmen's compensation in this county, while doctors, hospitals and druggists received $6,267 the past fiscal year. In comparison, figures for this county for the year before. 1930-31, were: 458 cases, of which 294 were medical only, the remainder in cluding three killed and none per manently disabled; li partially dis abled permanently, and 150 totally disabled for a compensable period. These injured workers or their fam ilies, received $17,108 in compensa tion, while medical costs for the year before in this county amount ed to $7,014.

Coach Morris, encouraged by the manner in which a group of rook ies mixed with four veterans have improved, has entered the eleven in the Class B state championship fray.

A rate reduction on electric power hue been offered by the Duke Power Co. to cities and industrial plants that would save them four per cent on its present powwr bin to the Duke Power Co., but these customers are not, satisfied bo ac cept this cut which the mayor* and Industrial men say Is too small and they are asking for more. Mayor McMurry was in Raleigh last week before the Corpojmtton j Commission, appearing with the executive committee of the mayor* of North Carolina of which he is a jnember. He says the Duke Power company’s compromise Date would save Shelby $250 a month, but he doe* not think this is enough and he with the other members of the executive committee are contending for a greater reduction No Ixwa] Cut "If Shelby should jtet a reduction In Its rate from the Duke Power Oo would such reduction be passed on to the domestic consumers?” Mayor McMurry was asked this morning by a representative of The Star 'Weil, the city could not make anv reduction in its rate# until the end of the fiscal year.’’ he stated. ’’Shel by Is the only city in North Caro lina that is absorbing the consum er’s tax of three per cent levied on power by the federal government This makes the city pay to the federal government the consumer's tax instead of the consumer paying it. therefore It Is costing us quite a considerable sum. However, at the end of the fiscal year we might re scale our electric rates for our pa trons if a reduction of any consid erable amount Ls obtained from the Duke Power Co., from whom we buy our power.-’ added the mayor Would Save a Million In a letter sent out by the Duke Powpr Co . under date of Octobei 3. the Duke Power Co. says as an aid to the return of prosperity and to see if sufficient volume of busi ness for their continuance, it >i.* willing at once to institute reduc tions in rates which, when applied to the whole Duke Power system would mean a saving to its custom ers at a rate of approximately a million dollars per annum and the corresponding decrease In the net earnings to the Duke Power Co. In other words the Duke Poorer Co. does an annua! business of about twenty-six million' dollars. Tt proposes to reduce rates that would cut this income a million dollars a year, which ls slightly more than four percent under the present rates. Cities and industrials plants are watching with Interest the outcome of the hearings before the State Corporation commission as to power rjites for the several power com panies operating in North Caro lina No Air Flights During Services At the suggestion of The Star that no air flights be made over the oily during Sunday school and church hours on Sunday, Col. J. J Gradv readily consented this morn ing to co-operate with the citizens. I am always ready to comply with any reasonable request,” said Col Grady. "It had not occurred to me that the loud motor of my plane would disturb religious services, bu: I realize now that it does and since the church going people think flights should not be made over the city while religious services are on you can state that X will not fly on Sundays over the city between 10 and 12 o'clock,” he readily agreed. Col. Grady who is one of the crack pilots of the World war, is doing a rushing business at the I Mauney airport near Elizabeth church. He was busy all day Sun day.
