SENATE D. c. COMMITTEE
CALLS OFF ITS Meeting

. LEGISLATION pending before the
senate District Committee has
dwindled to such small proportions
that Senator L. Heisler Bali, chair
man, called off the regular weekly
committee meeting scheduled for to-
day.
The two-cent gasoline tag meas.
ure is now on the Senate calendar
and an attempt will be made to pro-
cure early action upon it.
The committee probably will not
attempt further legislation of
major Importance until the Rent
Commissio bill comes before it.

Carrie Waters and Miss Virginia
Coffey spent Thursday and Friday in
Boone. They enjoyed the old soldiers
reunion. There is only IL in number
seven having passed out in the last
year. They always meet at the Train
ing school as those Dougherty boys
always give them such a good home
there. They are furnished with NICE
rooms and when dinner time comes
they are marched to the dining room
where the tables are loaded with the
best for them to eat. They seem so
happy to meet but sad to part, know
ing that some of them will pass to
the Great Beyond before they meet
again. The Bible said we should re-
verence old age, and we know there
must be a great reward in store for
the Dougherty Brothers for their kind
ness to the old veterans, and all who
attended the reunion.
The annual convention of the Chris
tian church will be held in Foscoe,
commencing the 18th. Will last till

SOUTH'S SOLDIERS
GIVEN GLAD HAND
Only Eleven Wearers of the Gray are
Entertained by the School in An
nual Reunion.-Other Items from
The Training School.

Everything about the school is set.
ting down to the work of the reg
ular year. With a fine enrolment
and accommodations in the new bull
dlngs, this promises to be the best
year thus far.
Hon. A. C. Floyd of Memphis, Ten
nessee, for many years Editor of
the Knoxville Times, was a distin-
Guished visitor at the school the past
week. He was the first boy to enter
the university of North Carolina
from Watauga County. In his cha
pei talk Thursday he spoke inspir-
ingly of maintaining the primitive
virtues of our fathers.
On Thursday and Friday, more
than fifty nine years after Apo
mattoX, the Training School enter
tained the old soldiers in their an
nual reunion. Years ago they well
nigh filled the large dining room,
but 9ow only eleven of these brave
men are left. Sewn had died during
the past year: Comrades J. w. Hor-
ton, William Norris, Finley Mast,
Pat Coffey, j. j. Henson, John Hod-
ges and Abel Winebarger. For these
a most appropriate memorial service
was held in the new auditorium on
Friday afternoon. Speeches and me-
mortal talks were made by President
B. B. Dougherty, Rev. F. M Hug
gins, Capt. E. J. Norris, and Messrs
Davis, Cook, Swink and Greer Two
things seemed characteristic of these
aged heroes: A feeling that in their
military service they had done but
an ordinary duty, and the interesting
fact that as private citizens they
stand as staunchly for law and Or
der and the things that make for
good citizenship. May they meet for
many years to come!
Old winter has been heralded by
two frosty mornings, Friday and Sat
urday. Quite a little damage was
done by the cold Saturday.

ANNUAL PICNIC
AT COVE CREEK
September % Will Be Gala Day for
Watauga Farmers-Director |. O..
Schaub Will Speak-Plays, Games
and Contests.

The annual farmers picnic that
was started three years ago at Silver
stone and was held last year at Bea-
yer Dam will be held this year on
the grounds of the Cove Greek school
house Tuesday September 90 The
day will be given over to profit and
pleasure and a large crowd is expec-
ted. The principal feature of the fore
noon will be an address delivered by
Mr.. l. O. Schaub, Director of Agricul
tural Extension in North Carolina.
Mr.. Schaub ha spent many years
working in North Carolina, but for
the past five years has been connec-
ted with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D
C. He has recently been brought back
to North Carolina to hold a position
as Director of Extension Work. Mr.
Schaub has been anxious to get in
to this ection of the State since his
return and states that he will be here
on the 23rd.
There will not be as much speech
making as has been for the past two
years but the afternoon is to be Civ
en- over to plays, games and contests
to be participated in by the old as
well as the young. 1t is expected that
every person on the grounds who is
old enough or young enough to walk
will take part in the games to be
held upon the school grounds.
Each family is expected to bring
dinner. The question as to whether
it shall be put down together or in
small groups has not yet been decid-
ed.
1t is hoped that all those whose
minds are not open to receive sug-
gestions and consider them fairly and
also those whose faces have forgott-
ten how to smile and whose feet have
forgotten how to move quickly and
whose sides nave forgotten how to
shake will stay away, because they
would probably be uncomfortable at
a meeting of this sort. Mr.. Schaub's
address will give you something to
think about and the games something
to laugh about long after you have
gone home.

Deep Gap

A revival meeting has been in pro-
gress for several days at Laurel
Springs Baptist church. Almost our
entire community has attended the
services. Tie writer attended four
services and heard good sermons,
but the church seems to him to De
very cold and chilly.
Please pardon our not mentioning
that Mr.. and Mrs. Judson E. Wagner
were visiting in this community
few weeks ago. They came all the
way down from Maryland in their
car. They were visiting their friends
and relatives here.
While the meetings were going on
at Laurel Springs church Mr.. w. "A
Watson's driver left his Ford road
ster near the church at a lane be-
side of the Boone Trail and some
passer by must have needed four
coils mighty badly as they took the
entire set from his car. Mr.. Watson
offers reward of $1,000 for any
evidence as to who took them that
will lead to the conviction of the
thief who took them. At the same
time motorist came along and
would not share enough gas to move
the car. 1t looks like new religion
is needed in this community.
On last Friday night killing frost
nipped things in the bud here. The
heavy frost in the valley was intense
and has about ruined everything not
matured. 1t looks like to US we are
so unthankful for our great blessings
and that sign from above should
remove us to better things along the
journey of life.
An ice rcream social will be held
as usual at Rocky Point school house
Saturday evening September the 13.
Everybody come out and help in this
program for the btterment of our
community. You are needed to make
our club a success.
Mr.. w. A. Watson has purchased
small lot of Mr.. Russell Trivett and
in the future he expects to build up
on the same here.
We have been very busy this week
and haven't much news to send in,
but as you have several articles sent

oners have to be kept together as
there is only one toilet for both cell.
We find the side of the cells next to.
the toilet badly rusted and in an
unsafe condition. The jail is entirely
900 small and is very unsafe and we
recommend that the county commits
sioners build modern jail. We find
that the prisoners are well fed and
cared for except the crowded condi-
ton that often exists.
We inspected the county home
and find II inmates, all white, "a
bout an equal number of males and
females. The home is exceptionally
we'll kept, the inmates well fed and
well clothed and the farm in extra
good condition. Three of the inmates
are children of school age and we
recommend that the county welfare
officer take the proper steps to put
them in school. We find that the
porch roof leaks and is causing the
ceiling to rot and immediate steps
should be taken to make the necess-
sary repairs. There are some rooms
that need repairs, as the plaster is
falling off in some places.
Respectfully submitted.
