At 100 o'clock Wednesday morning after
Governor Landon telegraphed to the President:
"The nation has spoken. Every American will
accept the verdict and work for the common
cause of the good of our country That is the
spirit of democracy. You have my sincere con-
gratulations"
In the face of such landslide Of Roosevelt
votes, Governor Landon had little choice left
but to offer congratulations, but he did more
than offer congratulations he sent construc-
tive message worthy of great party leader.
He could have found fault with many things,
he could have sulked and done many things that
would have been unsportsman-like. After hav-
ing been assured of victory, such crushing de-
feat could not have been an easy thing to take.
Governor Landon's wire to President Roose-
welt expressed the feeling of all true Americans
that regardless of party, we must make our final
goal the working together for the common good
of our country It was message that proves the
Governor of Kansas is good looser-a gentle
manly trait of character hard to achieve but
much to be envied.

Madrid in Flames Following Air
Attacks; Furious Battle
Raging in City
MAY SIEGE MADRID TO-DAY

Madrid, the capital of Spain, was
in flames the first of the week fol-
lowing an artillery bombardment by
rebel troops and an airplane attack
from the same source.
Rebel airplanes dumped 40 eXplo-
sive and incendiary bombs on the
defenders of Madrid, rocking wide
sections of the capital in the heavi-
est aerial bombardment the inhabi-
tants have experienced.
Dozens of shells raked the capital.
Blasted from their narrow trenches
time after time from big guns and
airplanes, the ragged workers ar
mics chung to the capitals edges
even pushed back the besiegers
from the gates and bridges.
Government infantry said they
had pushed, back their attackers on
the South a distance of two miles.
Furious fighting, however, ragged

Even the most arden loyalist has
to admit that the rebels have gained
so much ground that the war is
practically hopeless from the gov
ernment's standpoint.

2. Unless more members were
added to the faculty, the greater
university would not be able to Of

RED CROSS DRIVE BEGINS

Last year no Red Cross membership drive
was made in Ashe county and many people here
were denied the privilege of sending their bit to
help in the great nationwide organization for
the relief of the distress of thousands who had
been rendered helpless by elements in nature
over which they had no control. Those of us
who are able should take pleasure in giving our
dollar in cause so worthy. And, if for no other
reason, we should give it out of thankfulness
that we are not faced with the horrors of floods,
tornadoes, and earthquakes that cause such un-
told and unexpected suffering in other parts of
our United States.
From official reports sent out from the
American Red Cross Headquarters in Washing
ton, D. c., we are quoting some information
that will give us clearer idea of the great
work that is carried on annually with out dol
lars. Half of the money taken in on member
ship drive stays at home and that part, though
small in the past, has been carefully used here
in the help of the sick to pay for transportation
to and from hospitals, to pay for accidents to
children where their parents are unable to pay,
and in some instances to buy food for families
whose breadwinners are going through long
siege of Illness Anyone interested in knowing
where the money has been spent in the past may
get report by calling at the Skyland Post
where Miss Reeves will be glad to furnish the
information.
From the Spring Floods and Tornadoes,
booklet sent out by the American Red Cross,
we read:
The Red Cross has just completed one of the
greatest relief operations in the history of the United
States 1t was relief unprecedented front and
millions of men, women, and children who actually
constitute the Society took part in this gigantic un
dertaking From most distant frontiers and from
territories the this assistance came, whole
heartedly spontaneously, and generously. It came,
moreover with dispatch that made for efficiency and
in the face of a common enemy there was united
effort.

I dreamed / heard the might Knox

Then when you arrive, with us you

ThenI awoke from my deep slum-
Der, then a vision I had.
I saw great light in the west.
1t made me glad.
Under this light a great scroll did
hang, its edges glittered like gold.
Con the top of this great scholl was
the picture of Franklin D. Roose-
welt. Around his head was painted
the olive branch of peace. Upon
his right was the picture OF man
with a broad forehead, open coun-
tenance.
Anyone of ordinary intelligence
could look into and read the great
principals that 60 to make up man.

Go bury your Landon badges in

He will tax the rich, clothe and feed
the poor, and turn none, no not
one, hungry from his door.

Nothing is more conducive to terror in the human
heart than rising flood Of dirty brown water. It
inspires feeling Of absolute helplessness by the
knowledge. as much as anything else. that man has
not yet devised human instruments for combating its
power or its after-effects. Floods bring with them
relentless forces that all-enveloping in their
spread. Man-made structures cromble before them.
and the only safety for humanity is flight Homes and
personal belongings must be left to their mercy.
The spring of 1886 will long be remembered in our
country as time of great sorrow, time when life
pains for thousands were swept seaward, as a time
when the accumulations garnered through years of
hard work were destroyed between the suns rising
and setting.
From seventeen states calls were being sent franti
cally to the Red Cross in Washington:
eve need food shelter clothing . doctors
nurses" eve are isolated and need help quickly"
BY short-wave radio, by telephone by telegraph
even by runners and speeding messengers in automo-
bes urgent request for assistance of all types poured
into the headquarters of the Red Cross.
FOOD Medicine Water Clothing Help. ;"
With such generous assistance from Americans
everywhere it is no great wonder that, when the
emergency period had passed. it possible to say
that had gone hungry, none had been denied
clothing none were without shelter.
It was great task-77,OOO families fed, clothed,
sheltered.
This is only little part of the great work
done The thousands cared for in the destruc-
tive hurricanes in Florida, Georgia and our own
North Carolina, and the assistance given those
who were made homeless in Helena Mont, by
the earthquake there in the fall of 1885 make
story too long to print.
Let us make the Red Cross representatives in
our respective townships and the Red Cross
Chairman, Mr.. Coward feel that we are solidly
behind him in this drive and make it a success
that it has never before attained.

SAYS LIVESTOCK AND MEAT
WILL BE HIGHEST IN 1887

Livestock and meat prices in 1897
will be higher than at any time
during the past several years, &C
cording to the present outlook.
In an outlook report sent Earl H.
Hostetler, in charge of animal hus-
bandry research at State college, by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture,
it was stated that all meat supplies
will be smaller next year.
The reduction will be most pro-
nounced in pork and the better
grades of beef, the report said. This
means that farmers will get better
prices for their animals.
