SCORE ANOTHER ONE
FOR TOWN OF BOONE
Winston Salem Journal

Winston Salem Journal
"Boone, in the mountains, appears
to have been the coldest spot in the
State" says the Associated Press in
reporting the eccentricities of the
mercury in North Carolina during
the last three days.
Now, maybe everybody will be-
lieve what the Journal SO long has
been insisting is true, namely, that
the choice summer resort section of
North Carolina is in the mountains
of the Northwest. That's where
Boone is.
Mind you, we have never recon-
mended the Northwest as a winter
resort. But for summer living that
is living it has the world beat. Don't
forget that the same forces of nature
that drive the mercury to the bottom
in winter keep the mercury down in
summer.
The coolest spot in the state in
January is also and always the cool
est spot in the State in July. All
those who found the Boone Trail
last summer know what we say is
true.

FINELEY P. MAST DEAD.

Mr.. Finley P. Mast, one of Wa
tauga's most aged and beloved citi-
zens died at his home at Sugar Grove
last Saturday. Heart trouble, follow
ing severe attack of cold, was the
cause of his death. Mr.. Mast was alb
out 92 years old. He was married
to Miss Rhoda Smith in Jan. 1866.
TO them were born six children, four
girls and two boys, all of whom are
living, but none were present when
Mr.. Mast died.
He had been member of the Cove
Creek Baptist Church since 1881,
and lived fully up to his Christian
profession through all the years. We
are told that he was temperate from
his youth up, and had no disposition
to knock his enemies or boost his
friends. He lived quiet, unassuming
life, having firm convictions of his
own, but respecting those of others.
He was a loyal member of the Ma
sonic Fraternity and was, we think,
a member longer than any other man
in the county. He was buried with
Masonic honors on Monday Truly a
good man and worthy citizen has
passed to his reward, and he will be
sadly missed in his home, his church
and in his community. Peace to his
ashes, respect to his memory.

ing kept clean.
To be sure brick buildings are
better, especially in towns where the
houses are close together. But of
course everyone cannot afford these
SO they should prepare to have wat
er ready and large rubber hose
so the fire may be checked. That
would be much cheaper than to re-
build.
A da yevery two weeks should be
set apart for cleaning up day. So
all paper and trash may be kept
away from a building as fire will
start in litter.
Teach everyone to thro wal their
cigarette stubs in the fire, or be
sure they are clear from fire before
throwing down.
Many houses have been burned
by careless smokers.
Unlearned and careless people
start many forest fires which burn
many houses at once. think the
first way to prevent this is to teach
fire prevention in school. Of course
the older people will have to learn
by experience. But the children may

is THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE WORTH WHILE?

Is the Boone Chamber of Com
merce really worth while? Is it
worth while for the business and
general interests of the county and
town? If it is why should not each
one be on hand each Saturday night
at 1880? Perhaps no one hours of
the week days will mean as much
for your own business and the gen.
eral interests of both the town and
county as the hour you may spend
at the Chamber of Commerce on
Saturday night. Will you be present
next Saturday night at 1880 sharp?
If the Boone Chamber of Commerce
is not worth while let US kill it and
bury it, not murder it by negligence.
We are at your disposal.
Yours faithfully,
w. H. GRAGG, Pres.
j. M. DOWNUM, Secy.

FAIL TO FIND TUT'S JEWELRY
Expected to Uncover Considerable
Treasure in Shrine But it Was
Empty of Gems.

The anticipations of the excava-
tors that another cache of treasures
notable jewelry, might be disclosed
between the second and thoird shrine
of Tutankhamen's canopic sepulchre
have not been realized.
After one of the most arduous
pieces of work he has undertaken
since the discovery of the tomb, ho@-
ard Carter has cucceeded in disman-
tling the front section of the lid
of the second shrine, thereby reveal
ing greater part of the third cas-
ket, and affording glimpse into the
space between the second and third
shrines.
1t is understood nothing was found
in this space. On the other hand the
third shrine stands revealed as one
of the most beautiful of those sur
rounding the Pharaoh's sarcophagus.
1t is brightly gilded and like the rest,
abundantly inscribed with hieroglyph-
les, with golden ornamentation run
ming around the cornice, and a roof
of brilliant shining red. The inside
Of the roof of the second casket is
painted with figures of the gods, re-
preventative of the protective device
of hawks wings outspread and the
cartouches of the king.
The front section of the roof was
deposited in the anti-chamber of the
tomb, and the other section will be
attacked tomorrow. During the course
of the morning the remaining portion
of the linen pail, swathed in cotton
wool, was removed to the laboratory
together with a cardboard box con-
tanning the more than 400 gilded ro-
settes with which the pail was be-
spangled.
Mrs. Percy Newberry, head of the
Embroiderers' guild and wife of the
eminent archaeologist who is aiding
in the work at the tomb, has under
taken to reconstruct the pail.

1t was Mrs. Plane widowed in the
war between the states and a char
ter member Of the U. D. C. who
first conceived the idea of a memo
rial to the Southland's chieftain on
the side of Stone Mountain. But
her mental picture was confined to
the bare head of the chieftain.
When other members of the U.

Mrs Plane has been selected to
unveil the chieftain's head Saturday.
In addition to the hundreds of vet

A GOOD LADY PASSES

Mrs. Jasper Thomas of Mabel, died
at her home last Friday after an ill.
ness OF several months. Interment
was made Sunday at Union Church
The Revs. L. A. Wilson and A. J.
Greene conducted the funeral. Mrs
Thomas had been in declining health
for quite a while, but everything her
husband and children could do for
her was done. She spent some time
at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore
and has since been under the care
OF some of our best local physicians.
She was, before her marriage, Miss
Wilson, born and reared in Watau y,
She was consistent member of the
Baptist Church for many years.
While some shadows, deep and
dark, settled over her, she bore them
with all the Christian fortitude pos
sible. A gentleman who had known
her intimately for many years was
heard to remark: "She was a good
woman" What five words could say
more?
Mrs. Thomas was the mother of
IL children, 10 boys and two girls,
nine of whom with the sorrowing
husband, survive her, to whom the
Democrat extends sympathy.
Deputy Collector, Marion Thomas
one of the sons, was down-state when
the mother was nearing the dark riv-
er, but was wired for and arrived
few hours before she died.

Prayer service Wednesday at p.
N. Choir practice after prayer SER
vice.
Jan 18th has been suggested as
a day of prayer and fasting in the
interest of our denominational work.
The prayer service Wednesday night
will be in the interest of our work.
We hope to have many out for this
service. The finishing of the IS Mil
lion Campaign is a spiritual task.
Let US call upon God for his power
and leadership. The time has come to
pray.
Next Sunday a collection will be
taken for relief in the East. Every
one ought to make contribution to
those suffering without food and
clothing. We have plenty. We do not
suffer for food or clothing, but there
are many who do. Should not common
human sympathy prompt us to do
so? A collection at this season is be-
ing taken throughout the Southern
Baptist Convention. Gifts do not
count on pledges to the campaign.
The ladies of the church are hav-
ing their week of prayer this week.
w. R.%Gragg resigned as clerk of
the Church Sunday, and G. w. Gragg
was elected to succeed him.
The Senior B. Y. P. U. reorganiz-
ed Sunday night. The officials had a
meeting Monday night and planned
for the work of the quarter.
The construction of the new
church at Blowing Rock is going fol
ward satisfactorily. When complet.
ed this building will be, not the most
expensive, but perhaps the most un-
ique and attractive of any.

HOW TO PREVENT FIRES

Recently the Worth While Club
together with the Chamber of Com
merce offered prizes to the children
in the different grades of the pub
lie school for the best letters sub
mitted on a given subject. The let
ters were handed in and we are priv
ileged to print one of them each
week. the following being No. Is or
the prize winner in the Sixth Grade
Fire is one of the most dangerous
things in the world. In the United
States there were $4,000 dwellings
burned; $4,000 lives lost and $780,
100000 dollars destroyed by fire
annually. Means should be adopted
to prevent this great loss and suffer-
ing. If $25O,0O0,000 were saved it
would clothe and feed many an or
phan child who is now suffering.
Carelessness is the greatest cause
of fires. Matches should be handled
with care and not thrown in waste
baskets or on the floor where mice
and rats would be liable to find them.
The way in which mice and rats cause
fire is by carrying them in their
mouths with the end that strikes
next to a ceiling. When a match
flames they drop it and a fire soon
starts. If children can get matches
they will try experiments such as
building a fire in the middle of the
floor. For instance a small boy un-
dertook to scare a hen off her nest
by setting it on fire which resulted
in burning the barn and dwelling
house.
Kerosene is another great cause
of fires. 1t should be handled even
more carefully than matches. Oft
times on picking up paper we read
of some woman or child being burn
ed to death by trying to start a fire
with Gil Kerosene should be kept
in a room away from fire as it
liable to get hot and explode.
Lamps which burn oil must be free
from dust and the burners open good
or the oil will come in contact with
the blaze and cause great trouble.
Above all fire danger gasoline
is the greatest. If it is near fire
the heat draws it, and it sometimes
blazes before the heat reaches it.
By all means kerosene and gasoline
must be kept seperate, as kerosene
may be used for purposes which gas
oline cannot. Clothes that have been
cleaned with gasoline should be kept
away from fire. Oil stoves should be
treated as lamps, that is keeping them
free from dust.
Then in building house the walls
should be made rat proof, the chin
neys and flues built so that fire can.

Far away among the shadows
OF the North Carolina Hills,
Far beyond the restless cities
With their and their thrills,
Stands a grand old rough temple
With its steeples towering high,
Tipping as it % reach and kiss the bueness of
the sky.
Massive all linked together
Till they look almost one
While the stained glass windows
Reflect rainbow in the sum-
But when the silent shades Of evening
Creep the distant hill
You canh hear the bell calling,
For all is calm, yes all is still.
Then the shadows softly lengthen
Thru the windows cross the pew
There a sacred benedction
Somehow lowering
While organ andt The
Take the all love best,
Thanking God for his great goodness,
all his lovean tenderness.
