night that returns indicated Louis L.
Emerson had received the Republi-

emily received the Republican nomi-

One killing, scores of kidnapping,
dozens of riots, general intimidation
of voters and few cases of robbing
ballot boxes in Chicago marked the
most hectic day in the city's history.
In the election the Republican
candidates supported by Senator c.
S. Deneen were swept into office by
pluralities ranging from a few hun.
dred to as high as 100000. Deneer
and his faction was opposed by

THOUSANDS ATTEND EASTER
SERVICE AT WINSTON SALEM

Enriched by a century and a
half of tradition, the picturesque
sunrise Easter service of the Mora
Wan church was the magnet which
drew thousands of visitors from far
and near to Winston-Salem Sunday
morning to witness the ancient cere-
mony at dawn symboliZing the res
urrection OF the Savior.
Bishop Edward Rondthaler, Sc
church in the south, was in charge
of the arrangements for the 52nd
time For more than half a century
he has opened the service by step
ping to the veranda of the plain lit
tie Home church of the denomina-
tion and giving voice to the theme
of the ceremony by announcing
"The Lord is Risen" to which the
congregation of $4,000 or 10000
men, women and children makes ap-
propriate response.
After brief service at the church
interspersed with music by the Mo-
ravian band of some 800 pieces, the

concluded.
More than 400 ushers were train
ed to assist the huge congregation in
proceeding from the church, just off
Salem square and adjoining Salem
college, one of the country's oldest
colleges for women, to the grave
yard where the Moravians bury their
dead without regard to family ties
but in different plots, according to
age and sex. Amplifiers had been in
stalled for this years ceremony as
an innovation to hear the reading of
the Litany by the bishop and the re-
sponse by his flock.

A PROCLAMATION

8 order of the town council,
acting upon the suggestion of the
citizens of the town, l, w. R.
Gragg, mayor of the city of Boone
do hereby proclaim the week be-
ginning April 16 as general
cleanup period, during which
time all unsightly accumulations'
must be removed from about the
residences and business houses of
the town as well as from back
lots and vacant areas. The city
has employed trucks to haul away
the refuse, which will be in opera
ton on Wednesday and Friday.
Have the garbage accessible so
that it may be hauled away.
In view of the fact that the in
fluX of tourists to this section is
likely to be the largest ever this
year, it is my earnest hope that
the citizens will take pride in
giving our little city the best pos
81 b e appearance. Remember,
back yards and vacant lots must
be spick and span as well as the
lawns along the main street. A
careful check of work done will
be made and delinquents will be
made to abide by the ordinances.
Please abide by this ruling.
(Signed)
w. r. GRAGG, Mayor.

Smith Picked as Strongest of
Democrats

Washington, April S.-Herbert
Hoover's political opponents opened
up new line of attack upon his
presidential candidacy today. They
asserted that if nominated he cannot
defeat Governor AL Smith.
Assuming that Smith will be the
Democratic nominee, Representative
L. j. Dickinson, Republican, of Iowa,
leader of the farm bloc in the house,
came out with bold forecast an
alysis of Smiths strength against
Lowden in the electoral college. Mr..
Dickinson is supporting Lowden.
His conclusion was that Smith
carry New York, New Jersey, Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Is
land and New Mexico against either
Hoover or. Lowden-a remarkable
concession for any regular Republi-
can to make, even in the heat of a
pre-convention struggle.
Another of Dickinson's conclusions
was scarcely less remarkable. He
predicted that against Hoover in
November, Smith may well carry Illi-
nois, Indiana, Maryland, Missouri
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Okla
hOma and South Dakota, but that
Lowden could carry an these states

HOME PURCHASING

IN THE long run people usually
Il find that the purchases they
make in their home stores are the
most satisfactory, for many reas-
ons. To mention just one thing,
when they buy at home, they US
ually take plenty of time to con-
slider what they want. They are
not hurried, the know that if they
are too busy to buy that article to-
day, they can come in tomorrow.
So when they do go into a store
to buy. they do so because they
feel that they have plenty of time
to look over the stock.
Being thus able to give due con-
sideration to their purchases, it is
apt to be judiciously made. I'm
satisfactory purchases commonly
result from haste in making them.
When you buy away from home,
you are more hurried and are apt
to get things you don't like after
you get them home. Try Kenne-
wick first.
