CdrOLi1aGs And
Other States Suffer
From TOrnGdOes
Ashe Is Swept With Wind And
Snow During Week End;
Schools Are Closed

An off-season Windstorm which
left no part of the two States I'M
scathed swirled across the Carolinas
during the past week end, leaving
in its wake damage to property and
crops amounting to hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
Torrential rains, amounting to
several inches in some places, came
with the wind and sent creeks and
small streams out of their banks.
The larger rivers, some of them at
flood stage only few days ago,
were rising rapidly again.
Tumbling temperatures and near
zero weather followed the storm.
The wind uprooted trees, unroof-
ed many small buildings, tore down
signboards, smashed plate glass
windows, and crippled communica-
ton and power systems at some
places. No one city or town, how
ever suffered extensive damage.
A weekend toll of II deaths was
caused by series of off-season tor
nadoes which struck three other
southern states, leaving extensive
property damage and scores Of rur-
al residents injured.
Simultaneous with the arrival of
bitter. cold in the deep South, the
tornado winds dipped first into
north Alabama killing four persons
and shifted to the southeast caus-
ing Is deaths in the vicinity Of the
Georgia Alabama Florida State
lines.
A family Of six was wiped out by
the terrific winds which rcareds into
northern Florida swo were killed
in nearby Alabarna, and Ave lives
were taken in southwest Georgia.
After skipping from the extreme
northern part Of Alabama to the ex-
treme southern part, the winds cut
a wide path near here and passed
on into Georgia, where the victims
included FIVE negroes whose tenant
homes were blown away.
Ashe county people suffered from
the rapidly dropping temperature,
and driving on the highways was
almost impossible, but no definite
damage was reported. The county
was so covered with snow and ice
that schools were closed until buses
could resume their usual roues.

RUDYARD KIPLING

The fame of the genius of Rud-
yard Kipling,' the sensation Of the
latter part of the Nineteenth, fell
over into the new century with
such radiance that when death end
ed the chapter of his life, he had
easily won the laurels as being the
most widely read and most astound-
ing man of letters Of the English
speaking world.
Not since Shakespeare has the
English race produced literary
master who is more widely quoted
or more recognized for classic lead
erShip.
Whether in prose or poetry, his
pen was unique. He could write
either, and did, with apparently
equal ease and profoundness. His
interpretations of human expert
ence, his unfolding of Nature, his
expression of a somewhat singular
philosophy, made him stand apart
in his field and to earn his gilded
name in the sphere of literature.
It must have been with him in
the last day, as he saw himself put
ting out to sea, that quieting and
becalming faith settled down upon
him.
He had written that 1--WE shall
rest and faith we shall need it, till
the Master of all good wormen shall
set us to work anew"

Body Of Lost Boy
Found Where He
Sought Shelter

BISBEE, Ariz., Jan. ia small
boot, protruding from under a
rocky ledge, led to the finding late
today of four-year-o1d Roy Rogers
frozen body-the grim end of a
four-day hunt that drew into it 800
ground searchers and six airplanes.
Two miles from the ranch of his
uncle, Lawrence Mcdonald, after
wandering away Wednesday, Roy
sought the shelter of the ledge in
the Guadalupe mountains, first re-
moving one boot.
But the ledge did not prevent the
freezing winds from chilling his
thinly-lad body.
Today a booted leg caught the
eye of Herschel Long, state high
way department truck driver.
Fears the body had fallen into the
hands of renegade Apache Indians
from below the Mexican border had
spurred the searchers in checking
every recess of the rugged noun
tain sector.
"The boy probably died the first
night he was lost" said Sheriff I.
v. Pruitt, who led the searching
parties.
''It was bitter cold in the noun
tains and I do not believe he could
have survived the exposure. A bit
ing wind whipped over the country
that night and there has been lot
Of ice in the mornings.
The child's body was brought out
of the mountains by horseback to
the Mcdonald ranch, to his grief
stricken parents.
1.-THE parents didn't expect to find
the boy alive" the sheriff said.
"He had been gone too long for
any hopes to be held"

It was not until after he had reach
ed manhood that George v, upon
the death of his brother, Albert
Victor, the duke of Clarence, be-
came heir to the crown. Those who
knew him well. have said that he
was appalled, at the prospect of
kingship, that "for years it lay like
an ever-darkening shadow across
the path of his daily life.' His long
ing was for a peaceful, quiet life,
where he might enjoy an occasional
days fishing, browse at will among
his books and discuss the things
which interested him with a few
intimate friends.
Against all his natural inclina-
tons he accepted the responsible
ties which came to him; nor can it
be said that he ever at any time
shrank from the fulfllment of these
responsibilities. 81 could never" he
once said to friend, 'be popular as
my father was; I haven't the right
temperament" His regret was not
for himself, for personally he was
without ambition. He felt only that
it would be helpful to the crown if
he could show himself more forth
coming than he actually was. But it
may well be that his temperament
was that best suited to the difficult
and dangerous times in which his
role was cast. He had from the first
the respect and confidence of the
British people and he won and held
their affection as well. There
was at all times on his part the
firm and gallant assertion of the
spirit which has made the British
people what they are. He threw
himself in the war period into all
activities which were open to him
and which offered him the oppor-
tunity of advancing the British
cause. He was diligent in peace in
the performance of all duties of the
crown and in upholding it's prestige
and the prestige of Great Britain.
No breath of scandal ever touch
ed him. He was everywhere looked
up to as man of unblemished in
tegrity, deeply imbued with the
virtues which the plain people of
every land hold in highest regard.
History will record what all today
know, that he served his country
faithfully and well. He was a good
king who knew the part he was
called upon to play and lived up to
that part in every respect. So it
was that in a time when crowns
were falling about him the prestige
of the British crown shone only the
more brightly. So it was that his
people today are bowed in grief at
his passing while millions the
world over are touched with sor-
row that this good king is dead.

Gives Trench Silos
Credit For High
Milk. Production

Over 500 farmers sold three mill
lion pounds of milk to the cheese
factory at West Jefferson to be
processed into 100000 pounds of
fine cheese. says F. r. Farnham,
dairy extension specialist at State
College. This is the largest volume
of milk delivered to the factory
since it was established in 1929 and
the cheese production was upped
40 percent over 1884.
Farnham says the income from
milk was increased 60 percent for
the winter and much of this is due
to the construction of trench silos
throughout the area during the
past year or two.
