Replying to Judge E. Y. Webb'., prediction that Cleveland county would vote dry by 5,000 in the No vember repeal election. Attorney Peyton McSwain, repeal campaign manager for Cleveland county, stat ed today, that "in my opinion that will be impossible. I seriously doubt If as many as 5.000 will vote on either side, and that being the case one side could not have a 5,000 ma jority unless it was a unanimous vote.” "Frankly, X think it will be far from a unanimous vote either way and judging from reports I hear the county will vote for repeal, be cause it is a Democratic county and our President, one of the greatest we ever had, advocates States rights in this matter as does the party platform." Explains Amendment The repeal campaign leader bares his prediction of this county's re peal vote on the fact that by vot ing for repeal one does not vote for uncontrolled whiskey in the county or State. His statement follows: “In accepting the management of the repeal campaign in this county, I desire to make it clear that In this election we are not voting either for or against any of the prohibition laws of this state If the repeal of the eighteenth amendment meant the return of saloons and the uncontrolled use ol whiskey in Cleveland County or North Carolina, I would, most cer tainly, not advocate its repeal. “The repeal of the eighteenth amendment provides for the sub stitution of a new amendment in its place. This new amendment pro hibits the transportation or impor tation of intoxicating liquors into any state of the Union contrary to the laws of that state. It does seem that this new amendment ought to satisfy the mind of any reasonable person that those states desiring t;, remain dry, after the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, will not on ly have the opportunity, but will be protected by the Federal Govern ment. “If you believe that the Federal Government should, control and regulate by legislation the morals of all the people of the various states; then you ought to vote against repeal. If you believe that this problem should be left to each (Continued on page ten:) Inflation Not A “Cure-All” Says Cabinet Member Secretary Wallace Says It Must Be Supported By Control Of Production.

Think Inflation Will Aid Cotton; Gardner Opinion Move Urged By Southern Cotton Former*. I* Coming, Gardner Say*. Cotton farmers and cotton manu facturers of the Shelby section are watching with interest the develop ments in the inflation program be ing urged upon President Roosevelt by representatives of Southern States. Cotton prices have already moved up in anticipation of Inflated cur rency. and the topic has become one of major importance here where cotton is the basis of economic con ditions. Former Governor O. Max Gard ner, of 8helby believes inflation or reflation of some time is sure to come. He is quoted as follows by The Charlotte Observer: Inflation, reflation, revaluation of the dollar—“whatever you want to call it,"—may be expected with in the near future, in the opinion of former Governor O. Max Gard ner. who passed through Charlotte Monday night on his return tn Washington from his home at Shelby, where he has been spend ing the last few days. “I wouldn't attempt, of course, to say what is in the President's mind" said Mr. Gardner, who chatted with friends while the train waited a few minutes at the - Southern sta tion; “but inflation or reflation, re valuation of the dollar or whatever you want to call It, may be expect ed soon. The administration can not and will not turn back now, Organized public opinion will in sist upon the President’s using his discretionary powers toward reval uing the dollar. The insistence that he act Is becoming more and more powerful. In my opinion, the dollar must go down and commodities up. “There Is no unhitching the mule in the middle of the row. I arc confident that were congress in session .that body would pass in flation legislation within the next 36 hours. Particularly insistent is agriculture. Agriculture wants par ity for the 1933 crop. The NRA hasn’t yet affected agriculture and agriculture is calling for help on this year’s crop.
