REV. billiard
IS HEARD HERE
Began Ministry Here SO
Years Ago at M. E.
Church

Returning to Hendersonville so
years after he entered the minis
try here. the Rev. S. H. billiard
preached Sunday morning at the
First Methodist church on text
from Deuteronomy. "Thy Shoes
Shall BE Iron and Brass"
Prefacing his sermon, the Rev.
Mr.. billiard said it was an ex-
IRENE pleasure to be able TO re-
turn for the 5Oth anniversary Of
the beginning of his active minis
try. but that his mind kept re-
curing to names and faces of
scores of persons who were in the
congregation then but who have
gone on.
The words of the text were
spoken by Moses TO the tribe Of
Asher as the children of Israel
neared the promised land, and the
speaker Sdlu luey were OSSdSlOlSN
by the fact that the particular
area to which Asher's tribe had
been assigned was billy and rug
ged. -,
THE pathway through life like
wise is not always easy to the
feet but God has made provision
exactly adapted to every need,
the Rev. Mr.. billiard said. every
Christian knows the joy of green
pastures and still waters but he
also knows that only over steep
and rugged path may the heights
be reached. For our journey, God
has provided "shoes of iron and
brass" if we will but put them
on"
A large congregation heard the
Rev. Mr. billiard, and at the con-
clusion of his sermon many per-
sons greeted him personally, IN
Guiding several townspeople from
other churches.

NEWELL MAKES
DRY APPEAL
Large Crowd Gives Repub'
lican Sympathetic and
Attentive Hearing

Some confusion resulted in the
program for the prohibition meet
ing scheduled for Saturday eve
ming at the courthouse, which was
changed at 1880 o'clock to the
First Baptist church where, in
spite of the change in place of
meeting, a crowd of around $50
persons heard the Hon. Jake
Newell of Charlotte make an
able speech in defense of the dry
cause.
Court was in session Saturday
night awaiting the verdict of the
Jury in the Dalton case, which
made it necessary to transfer the
prohibition meeting to the Baptist
church at late hour.
The Rev. w. H. Ford, pastor
of the Baptist church, called the
meeting to order, congregational
singing was led by Roy c. Ben
nett, prayer was offered by the
Rev. C. II. Moser, pastor OF the
Methodist church, and Mr.. Newell
was introduced to the audience
by James F. Barrett.
Mr.. Newell spoke for about one
hour, answering the arguments OF
the vets and urging members OF
his own party to put aside preJu'
dice and line up with dry Demo-
Gratis to carry Henderson county
and North Carolina for prohibi-
ton on November 18th.
Mr.. Newell stressed the liquor
problem as moral issue and
pointed out some of the great
benefits that have come to North
Carolina as the result Of outlaw,
ing the liquor traffic. He appealed
TO the church people to stand by
the results and go forward to
greater victories in the war on the
illicit traffic. If the prohibition
law of North Carolina is repealed
and the legalized liquor traffic IS
restored in this State, North Cav
DINA will be thrown back to the
position occupied fifty years ago
in handling this problem, MI
Newell said. r
The audience that heard Mr.
Newell was evidently in sympathy
with his views, as his remarks
were literally aplauded and very
serious attention was given 10
what he said.

| if High Court Up
holds Verdict
JURY DELIBERATES 10
HOURS ON EVIDENCE

Joe E. Dalton. age 30, former
state highway employe, was con
victed of murder in the first de-
gree by jury in superior court
on Sunday afternoon. Judge
Michael Schenck sentenced the
defendant to die in the electric
chair on December /.
Upon the reporting of the yer.
diet, counsel for Dalton moved to
set it aside. The court denied this
motion. Counsel then moved for
a new trial and this was denied
by the court. Defense then served
notice of an appeal to the supreme
court. The defense was allowed
60 days to perfect an appeal to
the supreme court and the state
was allowed 80 days afterward to
file an answer.
Dalton apparently was unmoved
as the jury reported guilty OF
murder in the first degree, and as
he received the death sentence
from the court. Members of his
family. who had been with him
throughout the trial. however,
broke down as the finding was re-
ported.
The jury had deliberated on the
case for about ten hours. The case
was given them by Judge Schenck
about $40 o'clock Saturday aft
ernoon. The jury deliberated un-
til 10:4O o'clock Saturday night,
when they were sent to bed by
the court.
Resuming their deliberations
shortly after 8 a. an. Sunday, the
jury was later. about 1915
o'clock, called before the court
and the charge to the jury re-
peated. They resumed their de-
alterations about noon and report
ed that they had reached verdict
about I 80 o'clock.
A large crowd filled the court
room as the verdict was reported:
The crowd attending the trial had
completely filed the court room
and balcony and all available
standing room was taken during
most of the case. A capacity
crowd filled the court room during
Saturday night and Sunday morn
ing as the jury continued its de-
alterations.
ALTERNATE JUROR USED
After the charge of the court
was concluded on Saturday after
noon, it became necessary for the
court to excuse Thomas Mabry, a
member of the jury. Mr.. Mabry
reported himself i'll and physical
lv unable to continue. G. D. Da-
Wis. the 18th or alternate juror
then took his place in the box.
Mrs. Dalton was shot on the al:
ternoon of May % at the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. X. Duncan, on
Barnwell street, where she was
staying after leaving her husband
several days previously.
Dalton's trial was called last
Wednesday.
The State showed that on the
afternoon of the shooting Dalton
purchased a 1920 revolver from
Seldom Shipman, and that after
visiting several places in an ef-
fort to get shells he finally boz

FARM STRIKE TO CONTINUE.
RENO STATES; ROOSEVELT'S
PLEDGE is NOT EFFECTUAL
Retains Program Of Ask.
ing Railroaders to
back Agragrians

DIES MONIES, Ia, Oct. 23.-
(UP). - President Roosevelt's
pledge of a regular dollar and
higher farm prices twill have no
effect whatever" on the strike
called by the Farm Holiday asso-
citation, Milo Reno, president, said
today.
Reno, before leaving for Chi
cago to confer with railroad la
Dor leaders to urge support of
organized labor for the farm
strike, issued q statement in
which he said:
This battle will not be halted
by the presidents 2l3dge Of a
regulated dollar and higher farm
prices. We will continue to strike
until our demand for cost Of
production is guaranteed"
President RoOsevelt's assertion
to the nation last night give the
farmers no definite hope that
there will be any concrete change
in governmental policies toward
agriculture which to date have
been not only uneconomic but
criminal and inhuman," Reno's
statement read.
Before leaving Reno laid plans
to carry on the strike vigorously.
Flying sQuadrons" of lieuten-
ants moved through the midwest,
urging farmers to join in refus-
ing to sell their livestock or pro-
duce, or to buy from merchants
until farm prices reach cost Of
production.
Pickets gathered along high
ways leading into Sioux City and
Omaha and turned back trucks
taking livestock to market. Near
James. Iowa, 200 farmers clashed
with deputy sheriffs escorting a
convoy of trucks taking livestock
to market. Although the farm
erS welded clubs none was seri-
ouslv injured.
The truckers were forced to re-
turn the livestock to the farms.
Reno, claiming a membership
of 100000 farmers in 27 states,
said he favored peaceful means
of enforcing the strike but felt
''other means should be resorted
to if necessary"
Reno announced the strike
movement had received pledges
of support from two labor or
CARNATIONS - the Continental
Congress Of Workers and Farm
ers and the. TechnocratS Of the
World for Industrial Democracy.
The latter claims 100000 men,
bers.
d. r. Donovan. Chicago, secre-
tary of the Continental Congress
of Farmers and Workers, tele-
graphed that organization was
100 per cent for the strike"
George A. Shaffer, Denver, wired
the Technocrats were "sQuarely
behind the srike movement"
While other farm organizations
refused to Join the strike, pre-
ferring to await further trial Of
the agricultural adjustment adj
ministration to raise farm prices,
Reno predicted millions of farm
ers would join. Opponents of
the strike believed less than $780,
900 farmers would participate.
The Holiday association order
ed the strike, effective at noon
last Saturday. at a secret session
in st. Paul. Farmers were asked
to sell nothing, buy nothing, re-
fuse TO leave their homes or to
pay debts Or taxes until they
were guaranteed "cost of produc-
ton for their livestock and pro-
duce.

LONG RECESS
NOW Seen FOR
arms FARLEY
Armaments Race Feared
if Permanent Adjourn
ment Taken

LONDON, Oct. 23.-(UP).-
The British cabinet added to the
explosive situation facing the
world disarmament conference to-
day by deciding that Sir John ST.
mon, foreign minister, will not
return to Geneva for the general
session on Thursday.
GENEVA, Oct. 23.-(UP).-
A long adjournment of the pre-
liminary disarmament conference,
probably until January at the
earliest. was predicted today as
delegates prepared for meetings
this week and reconvening of the
arms sessions on Thursday.
Delegates felt further adjourn
ment Of the arms conference
would be found necessary. Most
Of them feared a world arma-
ments race if the parley should
adjourn sine die.
They also continued to nurse
the hope that eventually Germany
will return to the arms meetings
and the League of Nations. Her
withdrawal precipitated the pres
ent crisis.
However, negotiations designed
to bring Germany back into the
conference cannot be started I'M
til after the German elections on
Nov. -, it was agreed.
Members of the United States
delegation indicated they favored
shorter adjournment, preferably
only over the German elections.
Norman Davis, chief delegate,
probably will return to Washing
ton if the conference quits until
January, and members of the del
egation did not deny the posi-
bilitv that he would not return.
In any case, observers consider
that the arms parley will be thor
oughly embalmed when the dele
gates get together again Thurs
day-but the funeral cannot be
held until the powers are agreed
on joint attitude in the event
that Germany. first, refuses to re-
turn or to accept a majority arms
control conventions; or second,
that she starts to rearm, in viola
ton of the Treaty of Versailles.

President Roosevelt today signed
the retail code.
Under the provisions of the
permanent code exemption is
granted little store keepers, in
business for themselves, and those
employing FIVE persons or less.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. (UP)
President Roosevelt called in
financial advisers today to carry
out his pledges made the nation
looking toward further increases
in mmodity prices, as a prime
step toward economic recovery.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %. (UP)
Precedent Roosevelt proclaimed
the master code for the nations
retail stores, forbidding sales Of
goods at less than cost.
The provision forbidding sales
at less than cost replaces the orig
inal section which would have
banned sales at less than cost plus
ten per cent. The latter was Bit
terly opposed by farm relief Off
Gals, who feared it would work
hardship on farmers who are pro-
testing against increased prices in
the things they buy.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %. (UP).
A managed currency was pledged
by President Roosevelt to the
nation last night, and he reveal
ed also plans to establish govern
ment market for gold for dollar
sterilization.
Mr.. Roosevelt's speech, his third
major address to the nation since
March 4, reviewed all aspects of
his recovery program. In it he
took cognizance of agricultural
unrest, pointing out that every
effort would be made to further
the rise of commodity prices.
"If we cannot do this one way
we will do it another. Do it We
will" he said significantly.
The president outlined an or
derby procedure for the realiza-
ton Of his gigantic economic and
financial program. He summed
it up as follows:
]. Restoration Of the price
level, first of all.
.. Establishment and mainte-
nance of dollar of unchanging
purchasing power-in short, a
managed currency.
3. Control of the gold value of
the domestic dollar.
4. Establishment of a govern
ment market for gold to establish
and maintain continuous control.
Mr.. Roosevelt's utterances on
the monetary question came as a
distinct surprise to official Wash
ington, which had felt that he
would confine the address to an
accounting of his stewardship
since March q, with reference. Of
course, to the farm situation now
complicated by strikes in the mid
die west.
"No one," the president said,
"who considers the plain facts of
our situation believes that COM

NEW YORK, Aug. Z G.N.S0.
With speculative interest lacking
the stock market today turned in
another colorless and uninSpiring
session.
The list as a whole tended
1rregularly lower with the utilities
under special pressure.
Rate Cuts Likely
The weakness in the utilities
which depressed Consolidated Gas
more than point was due to in
dications that rates in New York
city would be cut by the Public
Service Commission shortly.
United Corporation dipped frac-
tionally in sympathy and other
utilities also eased. American
Telephone held steady.
Liquor stocks we're steady after
an easy opening. National Dis
tillers staged a brisk recovery run
ming up more than 2 points from
its low and then turned quiet.
The rally in Distillers, though,
bolstered the other liquor stocks,
including United States Industrial
Alcohol and American CONNER
cial Alcohol.
Rail Shares Depressed

action in asking foreclosure OF
the company's properties and

Railroad shares were depressed
by the action of New York Cen
tral and Atchison where losses of
about 2 points were recorded.
Union Pacific, Lackawanna,
Southern Pacific and other lead
erS in the group were sluggish.
United States Steel and the
other steel shares were sluggish
and slightly lower ignoring the
favorable turn of events in the
coal strike and the labor capital
strike truce.
Motor Shares Steady
Motor shares were steady under
the leadership of Chrysler which
moved up about l point. The
group, though, failed to show any
aggressive sponsorship.
Gold mining shares reflected
the lack of inflationary news
from Washington and Homestake
and Alaska Juneau gave ground
