WOULD LOCATE
NATIONAL PARK
Prominent North Carolinians Tour
This Part of Carolina in Interest
of Park Development-Visit the
Grandfather Mountain.

One of the FINEST bodies of men
ever in Watauga County came to
Blowing Rock Tuesday. They were
interested in locating the National
park on the Grandfather Mountain.
Aside from thos from Washington
City, many distinguished North Car
olinians were there. Wilton Mclean
Governor-elect of North Carolina,
was present and greatly interested.
The party took dinner at the Wa
tauga Inn, where Mrs. Pendley who
knows more about serving fine din
ner than most people, presides.
Everybody was delighted with the
entertainment. The lawn in front of
the Inn was a great place for the
sixty two guests from all parts of
the state to enjoy social function
when the sun was shining warmly
everywhere.
The party went to Linville in the
afternoon where they spent the night
Many stops were made on the way.
Most of the party climbed to the
top of the Grandfather Mountain, the
Governor-elect leading the way. He
is an athlete, strong in body as well
as in mind. Standing on the highest
peak Of the mountain he remarked:
Il have visited the Alps and travel
ed through the world-famed Rockies
but never in life have l beheld such
wonderful scenery as this" !
Today "wednesday the party will
go down to Linville Falls. Tonight
they will be at the Club House on
the big lake in Mcdowell. A numbef
of our people from Boone were with
The party yesterday and will join them
again tonight.
Should the park be located in this
section it will mean great things for
North Carolina. 1t will take millions
to develop it, and it will attract thou
sands of people every year who will
make their way here.

IIIVRY CABOT LODGE
HAS PASSED AWAY.
Bitter Enemy of Woodrow Wilson
Claimed by Same Kind of Stroke
That Resulted in the Death of the
Former President

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 9.-Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge died at the
Charles Gate Hospital at II Id to-
Aighe. Stricken at about noon We'd
nesday, the senior senator from Mass
achusetts fingered for four and one
half days before the end came. Dur
ing the greater part of the time he
mad been in a state of coma but after
nearly 4S hours of unconsciousness
he aroused fer time to take little
nourishment aud recognized persons
in the room
The hope. that revived for time
faded however as he lapsed again IN
TO unconsciousness and gradually
grew weaker Never from the out
et did his physicians offer encour-
agement in their bulletins. They did
however, comment upon the vitality
aat despite his IA years enabled him
to live on for days when death was
expected momentarily.
The illness that led to death was
similar to that of President Wilson.
the original complaint being similar
and the stroke that brought on the
end much the same.
The senator had attended the re-
publican convention at Cleveland at
which his former leadership Of the
state forces was divided between
Speaker Gillett and Governor Cox
but within a month suffered cOndi-
ton that required an emergency op-
Grafton on July 27. Recovery was sur
prisingly good and three months later
second operation was performed
Again the senator's stamina stood
him in good stead and he was out of
bed October 23, three days after the
operation.
With the reopening of Congress
only three weeks ahead, Senator
Lodge was planning to leave the hos.
pital in a few days and get ready tc
take his seat when the stroke came
1t left him unconscious and in con.
dition so critical that death was con.
sidered likely at. any time. Senator
Lodge had four years still to serve
in the senate, where he had represent
ed his state continuously for 81 years
His place will be filled by appoint
ment, Governor Cox having authority
under legislative act passed two
years ago to name successor unit
the next general election in 1925.
Henry Cabot Lodge had served col
tinuously in the United States Senat'
since August 1898, as Republican
since 1898, as Republican leader sim
i August 1918, and was one of tn
most prominent members of his par
ty for a generation.

Pritehsrd. Murphy and Valentine Star
 For Winning Eleven

A victory over Killingly, the goal of every Putnam High athletic team, was achieved by the 1924 football eleven in game in Putnam last Fri day afternoon. The score. twenty to nothing. is indicative of a victory so decisive that there can be no room for doubt as to which is the better team.
 Brilliant end cireling and running bsck of kicks on the part of Winslow. Putnam quarterback. excellent pass receiving by Murphy, equally good passing on the part of Cody and Pritchsrd, and the fighting spirit of Havelas. Killingly quarterback, were the features of the game. Winslow Pritchard and Murphy with the ad- dition perhaps of Pat Cody were the Putnam stars, while Havelas was the outstanding player for the visitors.
