SEES 7 SOUTHERN

Senator Simmons Says Candidate
Will Receive Worst Defeat
in Party's History.
By the Associated Press.

New BERN, N c.. November s.
Predictions that "seven States" listed
as Southern" would go against Gov.
Alfred E. Smith, with four others show
ing a close vote was made in state
ment here yesterday by United States
Senator F. M Simmons. who has been
conducting a campaign against the
Democratic presidential nominee from
his home here
The Senator followed his steadfast
plan of not mentioning the name OF
Herbert Hoover. He asserted that In
his opinion Gov Smith will be the
worse beaten candidate the Democratic
party has ever nominated" This state
ment was based on correspondence from
practically every part of the country,
he said. adding that North Carolina
will undoubtedly go against Smith with
a majority of more than 10000 votes.
The Senator listed North Carolina,
Virginia, Florida, Oklahoma, Missouri,
Kentucky and West Virginia as South
ern States certain to go against Smith,
adding that the result would be close,
but there was a strong likelihood that
Alabama, Texas. Georgia and Maryland
also would be found in the anti-Smlth
column. He also claimed that pros
poets are that Smith will lose New
York, Massachusetts, and that he would
not carry New Jersey or Pennsylvania

CANADA BORDER FIXED BY STARS

The International Boundary Commission has undertaken to mark beyond the possibility of dispute the line between the United States and Canada. As it is approximately 4,000 miles long and determined by treaties between Great Britain and the United States of which go back far 17S2. together with subsequent measurements and treaties agreed from time to time, the possibilities for and dispute easily comprehended.
 That misunderstanding may exist in the future to the exact location of the line, the Commission is to prepare maps and reports as provided under the treaty of 1925. so that re- tracing and remonumentng may again be necessary The latitude and longitude of every point marked the boundary line fixed exactly through belt of precise trangulation known the North American Datum 1927 It has been said, in fact, that the boundary is celestially fxed-actualy tied to the stars.
 If the boundary monuments moved or destroyed, it is said that every course of the line could be retraced and monuments re-established with degree of precision comparable to that of geodetic control. From the geographical stand point therefore, the stars will have to change their before the two countries will find cause for dispute over Territorial limitations And the shifting position of the heavenly bodies is a matter of milleniums rather than of the centuries by which history is measured on this planet, future cause for dispute seems very far distant.

Although the first half of 1928 closed with business activity maintained on a remarkably y even level and most of the industries at least fairly prosperous business has been more cautious than normally to be found under such conditions This caution is of the most significant features of the current position. A record volume of construction work and of steel output the strength of the copper market the high level of activity in the automotve, agri- cultural implement machine tool chemical, elec- treal and many other branches of industry have not served to give a buoyanty optimistic tone to business
