Joseph Sutherland
Succumbed Saturday

Joseph Sutherland, 60 years old,
passed away suddenly late Saturday
afternoon at his home in the Cres-
ton community, from what is sup
posed to have been heart attack
Mr.. Sutherland has been afflicted
for several years and had desisted
from hard work for some time, how
ever his death came as a great sur
prise to his friends and acquaint-
ances throughout this section.
The deceased with his wife, had
been Saturday afternoon shoppers i'll
Boone and he had mixed and min
gled with friends during his stay,
who referred to his excellent physi-
cal appearance. On his return home
he had sent a hired boy to drive
home the milk cows and started to
the barnyard to open the gate for
their coming, as was his custom.
When the boy returned and found
the gate unopened, he almost stimuli
taneously discerned the dead body
of his employer, lying face down
near the spot where where they had
parted. Death was thought to have
been instantaneous.
Funeral services for deceased were
conducted Monday afternoon. Sur
viving are his widow, an aged moth
er, three brothers and two sisters.
John, Charles and Tilden; Mesdames
Margaret Baker and Julia Robson
Three brothers and one sister had
preceded him to the grave: Joseph,
James, Edward and Jennie (the for
mer Mrs. w. r. Lovill, of Boone).
Mr.. Sutherland was the eldest son
of the late Thomas Sutherland, and
had spent his entire life in this sec
ton of the country. He was leading
farmer and cattle dealer and a very
progressive citizen, He was well and
favorably known throughout this sec
tion of the State and was a man of
high moral character and well liked.
His death brings a shock to a wide
circle of friends and acquaintance.

BEAL ON STAND IN CHARLOTTE

Fred Erwin Beal, one of the seven
men accused of the murder of o. F.
Aderholt, Gastonia chief of police,
denied on cross-examination late
Tuesday afternoon that he favored
the overthrow of the Government by
force and violence. Although he was
scheduled to the most gruelling ques-
tioning of the trial as the prosecution
threw its full force at him, he re-
mained calm and when Judge M. ".
tBarnbill adjourned, he was apparent
ly as fresh as when he started. He
not only denied he had advocated
the use of force in the overthrow of
Government, but denied he had ever
sought to use violence during his
stay in Castonia as a Communist un-
ion organizer, and said he knew moth
ing of the shooting of the chief of
police on June 7.

East Tennessee State
Defeated by A. S. T. c.

East Tennessee State Teachers
College fell before the brilliant play
ing of the Appalachian State Teach
ers' College Mountaineers Saturday,
in one of the best exhibitions of foot
ball seen on College Field since the
inception of this sport last year.
The final score was 26-0. The
Mountaineers outclassed their oppon-
ents with fast running and passing
attack and kept them on the defen-
sive nearly all of the game. The
Tennessee Teachers did not serious
ly threaten, but showed fine rum
ming and line attack. Their attempts
with the forward pass proved futile
time after time.
Buckner, Harris and Reeves fea-
tured with open field runs, while
Williams made steady gains through
the line. O'Hara passed and kicked
we'll and made three place-kicks for
the extra points. Mckinney, center
for the Mountaineers, played a fine
defensive game, as did Hinson, Vance
and Mcdonald.
Scoring touchdowns Buckner two /;
Reeves and Williams. Points after
touchdowns: O'Hara, three. Score by
quarters: East Tennessee State Col
lege, first quarter, O; Appalachian
State College 6; second quarter, both
teams, O; third quarter, East Tennes-
see, 0, Appalachian, Z; fourth quar-
ter, East Tennessee 0, Appalachian
ID.
This is the third college team the
Mountaineers have played. The first
game, with Carson-Newman College,
and the second, with Catawba College
at Salisbury, each resulted in a score
less tie.
Coach Johnnie Johnson, who is be-
ginning his first season here as head
of the football coaching department,
is working wonders with his team,
and local enthusiasts are of the opin-
ion that many laurels will be won
by the Mountaineers in their COM
ing encounters. Their schedule is a
heavy one, but the pep shown ION
College Field Saturday leads one to
believe that these boys from the chill
country" will make their mark in
State football circles.

Joint Teachers Meeting
At Trade Is a Success

Superintendent Smith Hagaman
informs The Democrat that the Joint
teachers meeting - Watauga and
Johnson counties-held at Trade
Tenn, on last Saturday, was well
attended by the teachers of both
counties. The meeting was presided
over by Superintendent Donnelly, of
johnson County.
Professor Wilson, of the East Ten
nessee Normal College, johnson City,
delivered an address of great interest
to the teachers.
In the afternoon Professor Alex
ander, of Indiana, spoke on the work
and rewards of the teachers, also
contrasting the condition and opin-
ions of the North and South, illus
trating thereby the fact that we think
well of people when we know them.
After the addresses the teachers
held separate meetings for short
perod. The teachers of Watauga
reorganized the County Teachers
Association, by electing Professor S
F. Horton, president, and Professor
David Mast, secretary. The organiza-
ton is anxious for all the teachers
to enroll with the secretary at once.
the day was ideal, just one OF
those perfect autumn days, not toe
hot, not too cool. The mountains were
afire with that panorama of autumn
colors that artists can't paint. It wa:
day of hand-shaking across the line
getting acquainted, knowing more
of our neighbors, and an all-arounc
goodwill good time.

CITY FATHERS URGE
PAYMENT FOR WATER

The Democrat carries a resolution
in this issue recently passed by the
Board of Aldermen, requiring the
prompt payment of water rents.
Failure to meet these bills will re-
suit in discontinuance of the service
and So charge for reconnection.
Prior to May of this year, these bills
in some instances had reached such
proportions that the Council has de-
cided in order that no hardship will
be inflicted on any consumer, that 10
per cent. of bills incurred prior to
that time be paid each month with
the current bill. This action will un-
doubtedly meet with favor, as in eff
feet it provides an instalment system
on squaring back accounts. New bills
however, must be paid promptly when
presented, together with the 10 pei
cent

ATHLETICS TAKE SERIES

The dreams of Connie Mack, vet

Athletics, came true Monday, when
his hard-slugging team vanquished
the Chicago Cubs, National League
champions, in the fifth game of the

the second straight game demonstrat-
ed their unconquerable spirit by rail-

WOULD CONSIDER
FEDERAL ROUTES
Highway Commissioners to Consider
Four Proposed Roads Wednesday.
Boone May Be Center for Four
Federal Thoroughfares.

Highway Commissioners, at their
meeting in Raleigh today (Wednes-
day., will be requested to petition
the joint cmomittee of the American
Association of State Highway Off
cials and the United States Bureau
of Public Roads, to add four State
highways to the Federal system.
If favorable action is taken by the
commissioners, the cooperation of
Tennessee and South Carolina will be
sought in requesting the addition of
two of the roads and the matter will
be presented by State Highway Com
missioner R. A. Doughton and Engi-
neer Waldtop at the December meet
ing of the national road body in San
Antonio, when the joint committee
will meet.
Cne of the roads under considera-
ton would connect with U. S. High
way II west of Sparta, running via
West jefferson, Boone, Blowing Rock
and Pinola to Ingalls,. This road
would make available a direct Fed
National Park in Virginia and the
Smoky Mountain National Park in
North Carolina and Tennessee and
would connect with Federal Route
10 at Ingalls,. This is the route be-
ing sponsored by the Western North
Carolina Park to Park Highway As
ISOLATION, which was organized at
Blowing Rock recently. The secre-
tary has been actively engaged in
the movement and doubtless the ac-
tivities of the organization have been
responsible to an extent for this par
ticular route coming up for consid-
Grafton at this time. The president
of the association, l. G. Greer, of
Boone; the secretary, G. C. Robbins.
of Blowing Rock, and T. H. Coffey
and D. j. Boyden, of Blowing Rock,
W. H. Gragg, of Boone, and R. L..
Gwyn, of Lenoir, members of the ex-
ecutive committee, will be in Raleigh
today at the meeting of the highway
officials.
A second road to be considered
would connect with Federal Route 70
at Greensboro and follow the State
highway via Winston-Salem, Brooks
Cross Roads zaad--North Wilhesboro
to Boone where it would connect
with the proposed Federal route. This
would add one of the States main
east and west trunk lines to the Fed
eral system.
The third road would connect with
Federal Route II at Bristol, Va
Tenn, and proceed via Mountain
City, Boone, Lenoir. Hickory, New
ton, Lincolnton, Gastonia and York,
to Chester, S. C. At Chester it would
connect with Federal Route 21 pro-
viding direct Federal route between
Columbia, S. c., and Bristol.
The fourth road proposed is from
North Wilkesboro via Lenoir, Nor
canton, Shelby and Gaffney to Un-
ion, S. c., and also from Newberry
to Trenton, S. C. If added, this road
will form direct link between Au-
gusta, Ga, and the mountain resort
section of North Carolina.
1t is on the last named two roads
that neighboring states will be re-
quested to join in the petition if the
commissioners regard the project ia
vorably, as they are expected to do.
