Not that we mean to insinu-

From out of the night-clouded

the winged creatures have en-
tered the gallery corridor on the
east front of the Senate cham

to the chandeliers above the
teeming crowds of tourists who
walk along the paths to the

Rumors Forecast
Labor Difficulties

A ND S P E A K IN G OF
"A STRIKES, there is a rumor
on Capitol Hill that the real
labor difficulties have just be-
gun to warm up.
If the information is true,
General Motors will not renew
its contract with C. I. o. in Sep
TENDER. They are said to have
statistics to prove that more
than 100000 hours of work
has been lost in strikes since
their agreement, and that
doesn't make the General
Motors feel any too friendly
about the situation.
It seems to add strength to the
assertion that back in the Presi.
dents mind is a little pigeon
hole in which is kept his power
to call Congress into an emery
ency session which might very
well happen if the labor diff
culties heap too high between
now and January.

It is said that Charles the Great
sat on the throne in we'll preserv-
ed state for three hundred and fifty
years. That is little longer than we
allow dead one to hold office in
modern times.
If some of the civilians would
take a look at themselves with gas
mask on and see what sort of DON
key they really are they would not
be so anxious to declare war.
I wish that they would have
brought up this here child labor law
way back when it would have done
me some good back in the stone age
when I had to turn the grind stone.
What Roosevelt wants the Su-
preme Court to do is to line up on
his smoke every time he fires off
pistol!
Everybody is yelling for new
blood in the supreme court. It would
be all right to put Blood in the
court if they would do it without so
much thunder.
If they would mix some sand in
with that new blood we could have
some bull fighting like they have in
Spain instead of so much bull
throwing.
A man struck on a farmer and the
farmer turned a bull loose in the
Meadow that chased the striker out.
That is the same tactics that has
been used in Michigan, except that
they turned the wrong sort of bull
loose.
Frank Murphy, governor of Mich
igan, addressed the strikers as fell
low "Sitterzens".
AS retiring as the Supreme Court
members are they are reluctant to
do any retiring except hitting the
hay at night.
The reason that women talk so
much is due to gland control. After
all she has nothing to do with it.
And why does not some budding
genius invent some sort of local
anesthetic for BARRIERS to give you
before he starts to boring you.
They are legislating out in Indi-
ana against the monkey theory of
mans decent. They, like Tennessee,
have the same reasons judging from
some of their acts of legislation.
Hell is paved with good inten-
lions" is called the queen of Pro-
verbs. Then women say that they
never get credit for anything.
'Neck and neck" use to be race
track term. Now it applies to park

How the Old Lady
Crossed HOss Crick

Frank Farmer sends the answer
this week to the puzzle several
have tried to solve of how the wom-
an crossed Horse Creek by walking
but still did not get her feet wet
and did not have foot log. Lilliard
Hoosier, of Sly, writes that she used
the buckets she was carrying. Two
persons have already sent in this an
swer, but Mr.. Farmer says they are
all wrong. Freddie Pennington and
Alma Coward think she swung over
on grapevine. Here's Mr.. Farmers
answer:
The woman who crossed Horse
Creek fifty years ago and did not
get her feet wet was known by the
name of old Aunt Zilphy Waters.
She was seen to cross the creek by
c. E. Walker. She went over in two
chairs by stepping from one to the
other. She crossed near her home
which was just above Union Church
and her orchard was where the late
David Caudill bought land and
cleared out home that is now own
ed by his heirs.

To the Democrats
of Ashe County

I am writing this letter, first,
out OF my love for the county OF
AShe, and second, on account OF
my love or the Democratic party
of the county.
/ am informed that i'm writing
it / am playing with dynamite
and perhaps am, but I am so
worried over the political situa-
ton i'm AShe and what that stu
atiOns means for the county,
that cannot help doing so.
The people Of Ashe have been
my most loyal friends and they
know I love them, and they
know love the county better
than any spot on earth, and
they will pardon me if I write
plainly.
Uness the Democrats of Ashe
county quit their foolishness
they are not only going to dis
rupt the party there, but are go
ing to make it impossible for
the county to get recOgnitioH
with the administration at Ra-
leigh and Washington. The
Democrats of AShe should never
grumble at Governor HOey or
President Roosevelt at their not
receiving recognition, for the
Kilkinney cat-fight going on up
there will be the whole cause
of it.
/ understand that Ashe cOun-
ty wishes to have a member of
the Highway Commission. This
position would be worth lots to
the county but I doubt a man
from Ashe being appointed, as a
house divided against itself can
not stand. If l were a leader of
one of the factions in Ashe I
would lay down my arms in two
minutes for the good of the
county.
1 trust my good friends in
Ashe will read this letter in the
spirit in which it is written and
that they will know that I wrote
it because of my love for them.

CHARLES r. LATHAM

Charles r. Latham, the son of
William Latham and Elizabeth
Jones Latham was born October Is,
1874, and died April 7, 1887, being
81 years of age, S months, and IL
days.
In early manhood he felt the saw
ing power of Christ in his heart
This experience largely determined
the course of his life Years later he
joined the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, of Warrensville, N.
c., and was a devoted member dur
ing the remainder of his life. For 26
years he was a merchant. His custo-
mers and associates remember with
pleasure the fellowship they had
with this good man. He served Ashe
county as sheriff for a period of
four years and is remembered as an
official who put duty and honor
first.
He was happily married to Miss
Bess Duvall, of Grassy Creek, on
April 20, 1926. To this union one
child was born, Mary Elizabeth
Latham. Surviving are his wife,
Mrs. Bess Duvall Latham. and
daughter, Mary Elizabeth, of War
rensville, one sister, Mrs. G. M. Don
nelly, of Sutherland, one half broth
er, Mr.. Jake Doughtery, of Clifton,
and one half sister, Mrs. Lester
Jones, of Lansing.
The home life of Mr.. Latham was
beautiful and happy. He was devot-
ed to his family in such a way as to
demonstrate true Christian living.
AS citizen and Christian gentle
man, the words of ST. Paul, when he
said, "Bear We one another's bur-
dens, and so fulfill the law of
Christ" best serve as an index to
Mr.. Latham's life.

JOHN w. WEAVER

Mr.. John w. Weaver was born
February 26, 1867 and died March
%, 1887 at the age of 70 years, and
% days. He was happily married
to Miss Ellen Johnson in 1887. This
union lacked two weeks of lasting
so years. There were eleven children
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Weaver, two
of which died in infancy. Frank and
Alice lived to be grown but passed
away some years ago. The deceased
is survived by his wife and the fol-
lowing children: Mrs. Claude Cock
erham, Elihu, David, Zeb, Ned. Hi
ram, and George. Four sisters, two
brothers, and % grandchildren also
survive him.
For more than twenty years he
very successfully operated his coun-
try store. His business associates re-
member with pleasure their fellow
ship with this noble man. At the
age of IL years he protested faith
in Christ and united with the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, at
Bina. His membership remained in
said church until he withdrew to
become charter member of Smeth-
perth Methodist Church. During his
useful life in the church, he served
as an official in the following Of
fees: trustee, steward, Sunday
school superintendent, and song
leader. AS a Christian he believed
that every one had duty to per-
orm in presenting the gospel of
Christ to the world, and the call
that came to Brother Weaver was to
present the gospel in song. The
blessings that came to him and to
others in the discharge of his duty
made men to know that he counted
it high privilege to sing the gos-
pei. For more than 30 years he
taught other to sing.
His home life was beautiful; a no.

GAS THE TWIG IS BENT"

AS commencement speeches and commence
ment sermons are being delivered throughout
the county and the youthful graduates are being
urged to continue the fight for the better things
of life, we remember the old saying that as the
twig is bent so is the tree inclined.
No matter in what regard we hold the Rom
an Catholic Church, if we have ever known any
of it's members we have been forced to admire
their staunch adherence to the rules and princi-
Piles of their church It is said that the Catholic
church states unhesitatingly that if it can have
a child from the time he is born until he is ten
years DID, regardless of what surroundings he
may encounter during the remainder of his life
he will remain true to his early teachings. Of
course this may not always work out, but it is
a proven fact that the way a child is taught is
in nine cases out of ten, the way the man will
shape and live his life.
Our children today are the citizens of tomor-
row and each commencement season, we would
do we'll to take an honest count of the progress
that has been made in the mental development
of the enormous number of boys and girls who
were entrusted to our care eight months ago.
If they have been started on the road to con-
scientious study, clear and logical thinking, a
regard for the feelings and the property of 9TH
ers, and above all given an ambition to seek to
use the many or the few talents which they
have to the enriching of their own lives and the
lives of others, they will have made a start in
life that no amount of trouble and disappoint-
ment can entirely stop.
Teachers, parents, and patrons of our
Schools watching seventh graders and high
school seniors receive their diplomas, should
consider seriously whether every effort has
been made to make this little start toward that
big word, education worthwhile these
children been given something that will cause
them to continue to think that their diplomas
are worth the time they spent in getting them?
Only if they have been given something with
which to face the hard task of living can those
seven or eleven years in school be justified.
And only if we have succeeded in teaching them
the fundamental principles of living can we ex-
pect them to make the sort of citizens who will
continue to stand for the principles on which
the nation was founded instead of cluttering up
our public loafing places, our jails, our courts,
and our penetentiaries.
Wordsworth spoke truly when he said, '"The
child is father to the man."

THE COUNTRYWIDE TOURNAMENT

In our opinion, there is nothing in its class
that excels the annual countrywide tournament
held by the Ashe county schools during which
time students representing various schools try
to out-spell, outwrite, outfigure, out-read, out
run and Guido each other in general.
It is pity that all the schools do not take
advantage of entering students in these contests,
or of sending displays All of them cannot win,
but the atmosphere of the contest itself and the
mixing and mingling of teachers and students
have the effect of being helpful to the children

It is not always the poor who get the worst
of the tax situation. Cyrus H. Mccormick OF
Chicago left an estate of twenty-five million
dollars. According to current newspaper report,
fifty-two per cent of what he accumulated went
for state and federal taxes. Assuming that his
active life covered period of forty years. he
worked twenty-sx of them to accumulate about
eleven million dollars for the public treasury.
If Mr. Mccormick had been asked to make
free will gift of more than half his goods to help
run the government, he would no doubt have
registered an emphatic "NO". However, the
gentleman was not asked He lost his chance on

G.. r. LATHAM

The death of C. r. Latham, leading citizen OF
Warrensville and leader of the Republican
party in the county, removed one of our out
standing men from the public and private life
of this section
AS private citizen, MIR. Latham was loved
and respected by all who knew him; as public
servant, he had the esteem of the people he
served He was known to be an honest and up
right man which is indeed "the noblest work
of God"

who often have little chance to meet with others
who are interested in similar things.
It is further pity that all the patrons OF the
schools cannot attend these tournaments and
examine the excellent displays of handwork by
both boys and girls. Outstanding in the recent
tournament was the model home built by the
Fleetwood science and home economics classes,
but other exhibits showed that the pupils were
learning to use their hands as well as their
heads. Since combination of both is most
necessary, we want to join in the chorus of
cheers for bigger and better countrywide tourna-
