OBITUARY OF ARTS COX

Arts r. Cox was born December
| 9Th 1860 and died January goth, 1885,
at the age of IA year, 1 month, and
81 days.
He was married to Ettia Woods,
December 10Th, 1887, and to this
union were born the following chill
dren: Mrs. F. B. Tucker, Of Tucker
dale; Mr.. Lester Cox, of Linville;
Mr.. Fred Cox, of Avondale, Pa; Mrs.
H. B. Bradford, Bristol, Tenn; and
Messrs. John and Ira Cox, both of
San Diego, California.
Brother Cox met with a great sor-
row in the year of, 1906 when the
messenger of death came and called
from him his loving wife.
In the year of 1912, he was married
to Mahala Stuart, and to this union
was born one child which preceded
him in death.
He professed faith in Christ as his
personal Saviour in the year 1915,
and while he did not attach himself
to any church, he was baptized, and
has lived loyal Christion life. When
death came it found him ready and
willing. He expressed his willingness
to go in the following words: 81
know there is something bad the
matter with. me, and that the end is
near but that is all right. I am not
afraid to go if it is the Lords will for
me to go".
Brother Cox was a good husband
and father, who provided well for his
loved ones. AS citizen, he was one
among the best, and in dealing with
his fellow man he was absolutely
honest and upright. AS neighbor, he
could not be excelled.
He leaves loving wife, as well, as
a host of relatives and friend, to
mourn his passing. While they are
left to mourn their loss, we feel that
/ it is eternal gain for him. So weep
not as those who have no hope, but
look forward to that happy time when
you may be able to~meet husand and
father again.-Rev. w. E. Denny.

FARM PRODUCTS OF THE
NATION AT HIGH PRICES
Quotation Of Major Commodities
Reach New Peaks for Four
or Five Years -

Chicago.-The highest prices for
some of agriculture's major commo-
dities in four to five years were writ
ten on Chicago market blackboards
last week-Good news to millions of
farm producers, but not SO cheerful
to more millions Of city consumers.
The surge in prices which began
more than month ago lifted hogs
to the best level since July, 1881, but
ter to the peak since mid-1930, and
eggs to the highest in four years.
Cattle, selling at nominal top of
$14 hundredweight, were quoted at
the highest price in five years.
The farm price picture was made
brighter by announcement from the
AAA in Washington that IA basic
agricultural commodities had advanc-
ed to pre-war parity prices, goal Of
the governments program. Included
corn, hogs, rye, barley, cattle and
in these were wheat, cotton, field
milk and its products.

FARMER BoBr 10 GIVE FETR
Doughton win Dine Delegation and
Press Folk to Keep Promise

Washington, Feb. 16.-The fact
that he had no opposition for the
Democratic nomination for congress
from the ninth North Carolina dis
trict cost Representative Robert L.
Doughton the price of a dinner
Thursday night for the entire house
delegation and the newspaper men
from the Tar Heel state representing

It all came about this way: Just
before the primary last spring, Rep

tenth district who was opposed by
Hamilton Jones of Charlotte for the
Democratic nomination, congratulate
ed Doughton on having no Democrat
ic opposition. "Well, it is not too late
yet, but if I get by without OPPOSE
ton, will give a dinner for the dele
cation and the press" declared Douh-
ton. Major Bulwinkle had not remind
ed Mr.. Doughton of his promise, but
Doughton, who always keeps his
word, invited tie house delegation to
be his guests at dinner Thursday
night at Wardman at 1880 o'clock,
newspaper men included. But Farm
er Bob" made one proviso,-this is
an informal affair and whoever comes
in a dinner coat will go away hungry
in dinner coat will go away hungry.

BRUNO'S JAIL NEIGHBOR
CHEATED CHAIR 26 YEARS

Trenton, N. j., Feb. 14.-There is
one man in the New Jersey state pri-
son, Bruno Richard Hauptmann's
next house Of detention, who is
known as the prisoner who for 26
years cheated the electric chair.
He is Arcie Heron, 76, sentenced
to die in 1908 for the murder of the
Rev. Samuel B. D. Prickett. In 1923
Heron automatically became elf
er" when the sentencing Judge who
suspended electrocution pending
"furher ORDERS" died.
s Apparently, life meant nothing to
Heron for the quarter Of century he
1anguished in his prison cell. He
spoke to no one because he didn't
want to bother the prisoners"
He wanted only to eat, sleep and
smoke. His cell was his world and he
snubbed all outside it.
A year ago, a cold forced him to
leave his cell for the prison hospital
where for three months he watched
the sun throw it's rays across his
white bed. He heard a radio for the
first time. His eyes, set deep in 9
heavy full face, became brighter.
The prison movies interest hin
now. So does his regular walk in the
yard of the isolation wing.
Archie Heron is finding something
new in the prison life.

MODERN sTEP-With old age

MODERN STEP-With old age
pensions and unemployment insur-
ance AS we'll as other social-security
legislation coming along to relieve
ld-fashioned county homes Of much
of their burden, State Senator Julian
Allensbrook, of Halifax, thinks it
might be a good plan to turn over
the county home buildings to the care
of neglected children. Many counties
in North Carolina have modern build
ings constructed as "poor houses
that will be vacant if the aged and
unemployed are supported by govern
ment money. Senator Allsbrook is
considering introducing proper legis-
lation to carry out his idea.

SPITE-The charge has been made
that proposed amendments to the
1888 law regulating the operation of
beauty shops is no more than spite
at the examiners appointed by Gov
ernor Ehringhaus. But the Governor
isn't worried. If the present three
examiners are abolished it will not
be his fault and he will have the
opportunity to appoint three new
ones. What public official objects to
the privilege of handing out jobs?
