Frank A. Linney, whose sudden
death occurred at his home in Boone
Friday morning, was citizen of
North Carolina of whom the state
might we'll be proud. During the
fiftyfour years of his life, span all
too brief for a man as useful as he,
Mr.. Linney engaged in many activi-
ties both of private and public i'm
port.
Mr.. Linney was known throughout
the state perhaps more on account of
his interest in and loyalty to the Re-
publican party. He did valiant serv-
ice for his party and was rewarded
with many high honors. AS a prose-
cutting attorney he made a notable
reputation, first as solicitor in his
own district and then as United
States district attorney for Western
North Carolina.
Mr.. Linney was a candidate for
both the governorship of the state
and congress on the Republican tick
ct. He was defeated in his attempts
to realize both these aims. But the
energetic campaigns he made osten-
sibly advanced him for appointive
honors. When the middle judicial
district was created, he seemed to be
in line for appointment as judge. But
the wheels of political fortune turn
ed in contrary manner for the
Boone leader and he was denied the
judgesNip.
Mr.. Linney's ability was put to
use in non-partisan realms with the
state. He was a member of the
board of trustees of the State Uni
versity and of the Appalachian State
Normal and just the other day was
elected a member of the Duke Uni
versity board. He was also appoint
ed member of the special tax COM
mission. AS citizen of Northwest
North Carolina Mr.. Linney's influ-
ence resulted in the achievement of
many progressive steps. He was a
man of splendid personal qualities
and embodied the highest type of
character.

Smith Will Not Hammer C. o. P.

The charges of privilege and pill
lage" directed at the Republican par
ty in the Democratic keynote speech
will be "played down" in the actual
campaign, according to indications in
circles close to Governor Smith.
The governor himself has declined
to forecast the sort of campaign he
will conduct, but persons who have
been closely associated with him in
his political career believe that he
will talk more about what he will do
himself if he is elected than about
the past record of 'the other fellow"
"You can judge by past perform
ances just about what the governor
will do this time" they say. "He
never has made a bid for election
on the strength of his opponents
weakness, and there is no reason to
believe he will do so now.'

herited to the fullest degree the bit
ter traits of his father and was
quickly started on the way to lead
ership of the party in the state. Lin
ney was honored frequently by the
Republicans and if the Democrats of
the state had been minded to permit
a Republican to occupy the guberna-
torial chair, he would have worn the
title of governor, instead of that of
district attorney-governor by the
grace of the people, instead of dist
rict attorney as reward for political
services, in addition to qualification.
He was an uplifting factor in Repub-
lican politics and in his death that
party has lost man Of high charac-
ter and potent influence.

Greensboro Daily News:

GREENSBORO DaIiy news:
The reputation of a great lawyer
meaning a great jury orator, which
becomes such q tradition as enfolds
the memory of the father of Frank
A. Linney, is won in a different en-.
vironment from that in which the
sons active life was cast. He was
but arriving upon a time of com.
parative freedom from exacting of
ficial routine when his work coulc
have been ordered with something OF
the deliberation, the philosophical
calm, out of which come those spec
tacular achievements that make
courtroom history and build the
monument of fame.
Prosecuting attorney for the state,
prosecuting attorney for the United
States, state chairman of the Repub-
lican party, these offices absorbed
the greater part Of Frank LinHey's s
professional life of a quarter of a
century. 1t is curious thing that
man so genial should have been
cast by fate in the role Of solicitor,
that he should have remained in it,
returned to it, succeeded in it, and
continued of genial disposition. His
warmth of spirit, his twinkling eye
made for the discernment of all the
merry things his companionableness,
seemed to make him as impossible in
the role of partisan; and yet he led
his party with rare generalship,
strengthened it, built up morale, al
though often the path of leadership
led through the oifficultlos of bitter
fact;onai strife. He was as loyal a
party man as ever lived, as staunch
and as sleadfast; and vet in a state
that has known as much Of bitter
enmity across party lines as any, he
had throng of devoted friends
amongst the Democrats.
The vigor, the temper, of youth
remained in him, Mr.. Linney had
come to a maturity of experience
that would, with his heritage of
moving eloquence, his broad knowl-
edge of the law and of mankind his
powerful mind, have carried him. to
the heights of forensic fame. He had
the opportunity to prepare for the
important trials for which his ability
would have been sought, was sought; !;
in such work he had already, in the
short time following his laying aside
official position, begun to shine.
Life seems poorer now that Frank
Linney, who had it so abundantly,
has put it off. He was rich in the
friendship of men who esteemed him
for himself, with no thought of the
distinctions he bore save that of
pride because a friend had won them.

Charlotte Observer:

Frank Linney gained much of his
initial popularity because he was the
son of Col. R. 2. Linney. The Re-
publicans held a state convention
once upon a time in the Charlotte
Auditorium. and when Judge Linney
came in half a dozen admirers ran
to him, raised him to their shoulders
and carried him around the conven-
ton hall, to the shoutings of the
delegates and the music of the brass
band. There had been no occasion for
demonstration of the kind other than

New Britain herald., 1928-09-24

A crowd of several hundred fans witnessed the newly-organixed Nut meg football team open the 1928 pro grid season at Memorial Field yesterday afternoon by copping . ! to win over the powerful stone- wall team of Holyoke. The game, played under ideal baseball skies, brought out some stellar playing for so early in the season.
 The forward walls of both teams threw up powerful defenses 50 that both teams were forced to kick throughout the game. In the latter respect. the locals far outshone the visitors and they gained much yard age in this department Of the game.
 It was blocked kick near the visitors 30 yard line early in tho third quarter that paved the way for the lone score of the game. Holyoke drew Is yard penalty on the first play when the locals tried the air and g visiting back was de- tected interfering with the man re- ceiving the ball. The penalty car- ried the oval to the s yard stripe and Pigeon" Conley crashed through the center of the line for the only touchdown of the game. Radziewich drop kicked ! neat field goal to tally the extra point. From then on both teams battled fruitlessly without either gaining any great advantage.
 The locals in their debut showed powerful line play. From end to end the forward wall was nearly in,- pregnable and the many thrusts of the Bay State backs were easily stopped. The visitors made orly only three first downs during the game. The first as the result of \ penalty toward the close of the third quarter. In the last quarter, some pretty of tackle runs by Me Donald. the visitors field general. accounted for the other two.
 The New Britain goal line was never in danger. Throughout the game the local line kept piling up the stonewalls so that the latter were continually forced 10 kick.
 The entire New Britain team put up a great game yesterday. The team played heady ball throughout and but for a few rough spots in the play Of the -backfield, looked like a classy eleven. However. these will Dc ironcd out during the coming week and the locals will be able to cope with the best in the state.
 Buckley. who made his bow to lo- cal fandom yesterday. played a spec tacular game and the former Ford ham star will do great things in state pro circles before the season is over. He showed world of speed. Pigeon Coniey made many size able gains on off tackle runs. He scored the only touchdown of the game.
 Zip Zehrer who held down the other halfback post put up q won- derful game until an old leg injury forced him out late in the third quarter. Claire. former high school captain, went into the local lineup at quarterback and Buckley shifted into zehrer's place. The ex-high school player ran the team in nice shape and Nill make dependable relief man. "Unk' Conley put up his usual steady game and he was relieved by Carl Brink. former Az gie star. at the beginning of the last quarter. He saw plenty of action while he was in the game and smeared many Of the plays directed at his end.

sinful pleasures of the world, which
look by far the best now, but which
