outstanding men, went forth to reap
a great harvest by selling member

the building of the garages remained
an idle dream.
When the members OF the Board Of
Governors were later interviewed as
to how they came to consent to the
use OF their names they stated that they
thought the additional storage facili-
ties were needed In the downtown
district and they signed up without
looking into the proposition carefully.
Imagine their chagrin when told that
a reading of the bylaws of the or
'ganization showed that the Board OF
Governors had no powers but had
been used merely as scenery in order
to sell memberships In a fake PROPOSE
ton!
Because these prominent citizens
were careless with their names and
failed to read and to investigate the
enterprise, hundreds of business men
bought memberships only to lose their
money. Signing without reading is
about the most dangerous act of
financial carelessness that can bs
committed.

GOV. PEAY OF TENNESSEE
DIED SUNDAY EVENING

Nashville, Tenn, Oct. 2.-Gover-
nor Austin Peay, chief executive of
Tennessee since 1928, died at his
home here at S:05 p. M
The 51-year-old executive, the
first governor in a hundred years to
attain the office the third time in
succession, succumbed from the eff
feet of a cerebral hemorrhage which
he suffered just before 5 O'Clock
this morning.
Senator Henry Horton, speaker OF
the senate and next in line of sue
cessien of the gubernatorial office,
was on his way to Nashville from his
home in Marshall. He was among the
first notified when the governors
death seemed but a question OF
hours.
Governor Peay never spoke after
the initial attack, which came as he
lay in his room, taking an Afternoon
nap after meal at which he wa:

PROFESSION OF RELIGION
MADE BEHIND PRISON BARS

What the authorities think likely
is a case of the old-time religion,
broke out in the Watauga county Jail
few days ago, the professor of the
faith being Dewey Harmon, who is
now free on bond for the robbery of
the Vale Crucis Bank, assault with
deadly weapon and forgery. Rev. J.
L. Watts had visited the Jail and had
worked earnestly in an effort to rec
tify the shortcomings in Harmon's S
spiritual being. 1t wasn't long be-
fore the jailer and sheriff were wit
nesses to one of the most earnest
professions of Christianity they had
ever heard, the hold-up man declar-
ing he would employ no lawyer,
wouldn't want pardon, but would
gladly serve all the time the court
gave him and would spend the re-
mainder of his days in the service of
the Lord. Those who talked with
Harmon took his profession with con-
siderable credence.

telegram from John Barton Payne,
national chairman:
Washington, D. C.,\Oct. 3.-The
central committee adopted resolu-
tions requesting the people of the
United States to increase the nation
al Red Gross membership to five
million for 1928. The resolution
states in substance: Because of

the most rigid economy of operations
national and international, the Red

expenditure considerably in excess
of annual income" With complete
confidence that the American people
will rally to this call, the central
committee urges each chapter and
branch take necessary steps to as
sure such increase. Suggest goal OF
your chapter be placed at one hun
dred members.

American Red Cross.
The annual membership roll cal
will be conducted from Novmebei
11th to 25th, and it is expected that
Watauga will easily reach its quota
of one hundred members. Plans fol
the campaign by the local chapter
are now being made and will be an
nounced in few days.
