EXTREME HOT AND
COLD WEATHER RULES
VICINITY THIS YEAR.

The oldest inhabitant fails to
remember such a heated spell as has
affected this section for the past
ten days. Mercury scared to 1O4
above Saturday and Sunday and
these two days are considered the
hottest ever experienced in this city
insafar as old timers can remember.
The year 1886 SO far has produced
extremes in both winter and sum-
mer weather. Beginning almost with
the first of the year and continuing
through into February, the Their
mOmeters on some mornings regis
tered as low as As and 50 degrees
below zero.
With variance in temperature
of $50 degrees between the fore part
Of the week and the latter part Of
January is certainly some variance
and many wonder how we stand It.
The clear dry air of both winter
and summer is accountable for the
ability to survive the winter with
out serious discomfort and likewise
the summer without serious con-
sequences.
Notwithstanding all these excuses
for our unusual" weather as they
say in California when it rains or
the sun does not shine, our residents
feel that we are living in as good
section as any in the u. S.
A dizzy succession Of extremes
has featured the weather of the
past twelve months throughout the
United States, according to weather
bureau books. In one part of the
country or another, weathermen
have recorded the coolest weather;
the hottest summer; the worst
floods; the most devastating dust
storms and the most severe lorna
does and hurricanes in history.

DEMOCRATS WATCH
BORAH-FESS TILT
They Are Getting Much De-
light Over Seeming
Split Among Foes

Washington, Feb 10.-(AP)- The
tilt between Senator Borah, Republi-
can, Idaho, and Simeon d. Fees, for
mer Republican senator from Ohio,
continued today affording Democratic
members no small measure of delight
The latest development was state
ment published today in which Fess
again implied that Borah had New
Deal leanings. "The man chosen for
the Republican nomination must be
one" he said, "who has supported
more Republican measures than Dem
ocratic measures"
Borah, hearing that Fess had threa-
tened to "take a walk if the Idahoan
won the presidential nomination, had
challenged Fess to say what candidate
he favored and whether he favored
the old DEAL"
Democratic members maintained
silence on the fued, but it was no
secret that they were happy over it.
Since Alfred E. Smith threatened to
stake a walk" if the New Deal were
endorsed by the Democratic conven-
ton, they have been hoping for sim
liar signs of a schism in the Repub-
lican ranks.

Each, doubtless, means WELL but only
one of the two advocates an anti-in-

there is any logic in economics.
First, however, let us consider the

What they want is more money in
circulation To be sure, they do not
want to overdo it. They speak of
controlled initiation" Various groups
of them suggest as many different
methods of initiating comfortably.
The fact remains that initiation,

Raleigh. FEB. t0.~--Julian Price, pre-

has as yet made mo definite de-

that he might be candidate for lieu

The reason for this opinion in poll

have to depend for his support upon
the same groups which are now sup
porting either Clyde r. Hoey or Lieu
tenant Governor A. II. Graham-the
principal business interest of the
