Merchants Have Put In
Larger Stocks Of Goods

with the coming of this weekend, and
from this time on the buying season
will be pushed with all possible stin1-
ulus by merchants bent on getting
their share of the Christmas dollar.
In the expectation Of probably the
best holiday buying since the depres-
sion began in 1929, most merchants
have laid in probably the greatest
stocks of merchandise in six or seven
years. Everywhere there have been
predictions CT generous spending, and
retailers are preparing to share in the
prosperity that will be more evident
this time.
Most people are In rtetter position
financially to satisfy their needs and
their wants in larger measure than
for a long time as a result of improv-
Cd economic conditions, and Santa
Claus bag will be larger and stuffed
nearer the top. Moreover, the average
man looks with greater hope and

OXFORD GAS RULING
EXPECTED ANY DAY
Utilities Commission May
Announce Decision To-
morrow or Monday
COMPANY WlTHDRAWS
Date for Suspension of Service Will
Be Fixed; Oxford Will not
Attempt To Force Con-
tinued Service.

A ruling by the State Utilities Com
mission on the request of the Hender-
son & Oxford Gas Company to with
draw from the Oxford field Is ex-
pected any day now, and may be
handed down tomorrow or might be
delayed until Monday or Tuesday Of
next week, according to George V.
Jenkins, manager of the local COM
pany. The company several weeks ago
appealed to the commission to permit
20 discontinue service in Oxford -e-
cause it was SO Improbable
meeting of the town council of
Oxford was held Tuesday afternoon
to consider the matter, and Mr.. Jen-
kins said an agreement was reached
not to undertake to force the com
pany to continue operations there at
a loss. The Council has had under
consideration the question of some
kind of arrangements for serving
bottled" gas to Oxford customers
who wished it, and the Henderson &
Oxford company at first offered to
supply that, but has now decided not
to go into any such arrangement and
to get out Of the field entirely
Mr.. jenkins said there had been no
luminosity in the procedure en- either
side; that the entire matter had been
a friendly litigation before the State
commission.
The company will give ample notice
to its customers in Oxford before dis
continuing service on a date to be
fixed by the Utilities Commission,
which will probably be named in the
expected order permitting the COM
pany to withdraw from Oxford. Mr..
Jenkins said today the retirement
from the Oxford field would enable
the company to devote it's entire time
and effort to improvement of it's SER
vice in Henderson.
All gas served to customers in Hen
derson and Oxford is manufactured
at the plant on the western outskirts
Of Henderson and Is piped the ten
miles from here to Oxford to serve
that town.

which was carried by radio to all
parts Of the State. He said:
Thoughtful men have been
anxious for the future Of the

the certain harbingerS Of FaS-
ciSt regimentatiOn.
HITS INTOLERANCE
"They have seen in the flOut-
ing of the Constitution and the
studied inSOIence toward the
Supreme Court the evidence Of
q determination to create an
economic dictatorship.
"They have seen in the re-
lentless invasion of private buSi-
ness by the Federal Government
a fixed intent to establish q col
lectivist state or q Communist
society.
"This election can and will be
won by the Republican party.
The trend toward the Republi.
can party which set in immedi-

ventiOn continues without abate-
ment."
Col. Knox was busy from the
