Makes
New Peace Plea
Direct To Hitler

Washington, Sept 27.-President
Roosevelt tonight addressed new
peace appeal to Chancellor Hitler.
The President said the "fate of
the world today and tomorrow" now
is at stake.
His telegram went to Berlin at 10
p. m, eastern standard time, follow
ing conferences with state depart
ment officials. It was directed only
to Hitler.
Appealing to the German chan
cellor to continue at all costs present
negotiations, the chief executive
said:
'In my considered judgment and
in the light of the experience of this
century continued negotiations re-
main the only way by which the i'm
mediate problem can be disposed of
upon any lasting basis.
Should you agree to a solution in
this peaceful manner" the message
COuLu1UGU, dill COIlVI1lCGu LIldI
hundreds of millions throughout the
world would recognize your action
as an outstanding historic service to
all humanity
"Allow me to state my unqualified
conviction that history and the souls
of every man, woman and child
whose lives will be lost in the
threatened war will hold us and all
of us accountable should we omit
any appeal for its prevention"
The message was in answer to
Hitler's reply to Mr.. Roosevelt's first
peace appeal, in which the chancellor
had pointed to what he called the
historical mistakes of the Versailles
treaty.
"The question before the world to-
day, Mr.. Chancellor, is not the ques-
ton of errors of judgment or of in
justices committed in the past" Mr..
Roosevelt said. ''It is the question
of the fate of the world today and
tomorrow"

Eliza Powers Instantly Killed
By Train; Was Lying On Track
Several Explanations given For
Tuckerdale Mans Action.
Unavoidable.

Eliza Powers, 39-year-old resident
of Tuckerdale, met instant death
last Saturday afternoon when he
was run over by the N. & w. train
about one mile this side of Tucker
dale.
This accident is one of Ashes
most unusual and mysterious TRACE
dies and as yet no complete expla-
nation has been found.
Engineer w. S. Speer, who has
one of the best. records of af1ysz144-
gineer on the entire NJ & w. system
stated that the accident was purely
unavoidable on their part.
When the train rounded a rather
sharp curve near the home of Les
ter Eller, Speer said that he saw a
man lying across the track, appar-
emily asleep, with his head on one
rail and his feet on the other. The
emergency air brakes were immed-
lately applied and the whole train
skidded about $50 feet, but that dis
lance was just a little too short to
permit the train to stop before strik-
ing the still body, he reported.
After the train came to an abrupt
stop, Engineer Speer jumped out Of
his cab and found the body lying
under the second car. He was
quoted by Conductor j. F. Ander-
son as saying that the train went
81 feet after it hit the body before
it came to stop.
An examination by DR.. B. E.
Reeves, county coroner and N. & w
physician, disclosed that Powers
right foot was cut off, his left lee
broken and his head split open. The
body was brought here to the Reins-
Sturdivant Funeral Home and pre-
pared for burial.
Why the man was lying on the
railroad track and did not move
when the train blew for a crossing
that is just beyond where the acct.
dent occurred, nobody knows. Sew.
eral possible explanations have been
advanced by number of different

Christian Church
At Beaver Creek
To Be Dedicated
Service To Be Held All Day Sun
day. Church Was Organized
In 1881.
GENTRY is PASTOR

An all-day meeting with dinner
Ion the ground will be held at the
Beaver Creek Christian Church on
Sunday, October 2. The service is
for the purpose of dedicating the
church and celebrating the compile
ton of the remodeling of the build
ing which was formerly store
building, near the home of r. w.
Hardin.
The Church Of Christ, or Christians,
as it is more commonly known in
this county was organized in Sept
ember 1881 under the able leader
ship of Rev. Roy Gentry, of Elk
Park. Mr.. Gentry is former resi-
dent of the Baldwin community and
for many years had been DESTROYS of
establishing a church of this demo-
minational in Ashe County. The
few people who were already mem
bers of this UNCONVENTIONAL organic
ed their church, but in short while
the number of members had increa-
sed several times over.
A Sunday school was organized
and has been held regularly every
Sunday in the seven years since its
beginning. An unusually large
number of both young and old at
tend. At Sunday school convention
held at Roscoe recently, the Beaver
Creek Sunday School received the
pennant for the largest representa-
ton. Regular church services have
also been held at least once a month
and some times more often since the
church was established.
Recently the pastor, Rev. Wallace
Gerstry, of Elk Park, and the mem
bers decided to remodel the church.
which until this time had been used
as it was when store. A partition
was removed; floors, ceiling, walls
and outside Notwithstanding were
painted; windows were added on
both sides; new seats were placed
in the church and a basement was
constructed which gives room for
two Sunday school rooms.
Practically all the labor on the
church was done by local contribu-
tons. Many of the members have
worked at night in order to have it
finished by Sunday.
The services will last all day with
dinner on the ground served by the
ladies of the church and a cordial
invitation is extended to every one
to attend. There will be peraching
in the morning, afternoon and night.
Revs. Roy Gentry, and Wallace Gen
try, of Elk Park will preach and
probably Rev. Mr.. Music of Eliza
bethton, Tenn. will conduct the
other service. Special music will be
had at all services.
Wallace Gentry was unanimously
reelected pastor for the coming year
at meeting of the members Sun
day.
