to give the roll call so as to insure
that no one but delegates participated
| in voting on the resolution. We must
assume then that you Fundamentally
approve the present Governors ad-
ministration. Otherwise you would
want to see the resolution defeated
and the only way you could do that
would be to allow the roll call vote.
Your only public statement seems to
indicate beyond doubt that you have
nothing against the present Governor.
What we want to know then is, why
are you running for Governor? You
have worked hard for number of
years in the company controlled
democratic machine. You have built
yourself up through that machine;
some people thought when you an
nounced for Governor that you were
breaking with that machine. They
thought that you really wanted to de-
feat the present Governor, but as
time has passed and you have failed
to criticize the Governor and have
failed to take any stand on the vital
issues confronting cur people they
want to know WHY YOU ARE RUN
MING. They all know that with the
Governors machine a three way race
will work to his benefit. They know
that Bert Kathan has taken a clear
cut stand as shown by his record in
the past; his filing statement; his
advertising; his pamphlets and his
speeches on every question we have
mentioned and others. They want to
know why they shouldn't vote for him
instead of you if you don't come for
ward with something more to the
point than you have. They wonder
why you are in the race and if every
vote for you isn't a vote for the
present Governor They are asking
why, if you are really trying to win
and not just trying to defeat Bert
Kathan, you don't resign your post
as Chairman of the Democratic party
as ordinary fair play would dictate;
and especially they wonder how you
can, if you are really opposed to
Ayers, remain the chairman of the
organization that by your steam roller
methods endorsed him.
We would like to have you answer
some of these questions and unless
and until you do, we must continue
to ask: "Why are you in this racer"

Frigidaires Men
Here Enthused
Over New Models

Back from Roanoke, Va, where
a few days ago they attended a
meeting introducing 1910 Frigi-
daire electric refrigerators, cleo
trio ranges and electric water
heaters, Amos Wagner and
Charlie Bailey, of the Ashe
Hardware, Inc, local Frigidaire
appliance dealer, report that this
ccmpany's products this year ex-
eel any previously offered.
''The information I learned
about the 1910 lines was to me
conclusive evidence that fea-
lures have reached new perfec-
tion," Mr.. Wagner said.
''The engineers, technicians and
designers who developed the new
models undoubtedly have out
done themselves in Incorporating
improvements that are both prac-
teal and attractive.
Every year I have a feeling
that new models cannot possibly
be appreciably improved over the
previous years units. But each
year I discover that Frigidaire's
resources for development have
invented new advantages in food
keeping and preparation. These
improvements are more striking
this year than ever before, as re-
finements of exclusive Frigidaire
features provide added useful
ness that offers every user great
err savings and convenience"

Wilkes Man Offers To- Take
Blame For Death Of Mother

+ North WilkeSborO, Jan. zl-An-
drew Gregory, 40 of Somers
township, held in connection with
the death of his mother Jan. IA,
has requested that no one else be
prosecuted in, connection with
the death, Solicitor Avalon E.
Hall of Yadkinville, said tonight.
Solicitor Hall said Gregory has
not made any confession, but has
professed to know nothing of
what occurred during the week
end in which his mother was
either burned to death or killed
in her home. He claimed to have
been intoxicated during the
weekend.
Gregory called Solicitor Hall to
his cell in the Wilkes county Jail
and said he wanted to make
statement. He told the solicitor
he wanted to discuss the case and
did not want anyone to get in
trouble over the affair. He said
that if any crime was committed
that he did it, but did not recall
what happened.
Solicitor Hall directed that the
body of Mrs. Canada Gregory,
75-year-old deaf mute, be ex-
humed and an autopsy performed
to determine the cause of death.
This was done today and the re-
suits of the autopsy were sent to
laboratory for tests. The results
of the test will not be known for
several days.
Solicitor Hall said he ordered
the autopsy to determine whether
Mrs. Gregory died OF burns or
had been killed and then burned.
Coroner I. NJ Myers said Gre
CORY bitterly opposed the autop-
sy and quoted him as saying he
was willing to take the blame
for anything that was done, al
though he denied killing his mo-
Their.
Mrs. Gregory's body was found
in her home last Sunday after
noon with her clothing burned.
She had been dead for sometime.
Gregory told neighbors his mo-
Their had burned to death during
the morning and he sat in the
room with the body until after
noon.
At an inquest held last Monday,
a physician testified that he
found Mrs. Gregory's nose had
been broken and there were
bruises about the head.
Blood was found on the floor
where the charred body of Mrs.
Gregory lay for several hours.
Blood was also found on Gre
gory's clothing.
The coroner's jury ordered
Gregory held in connection with
the death of his mother. He has
been in Jail at Wilkesboro since.
Coroner Myers said neighbors
stated Gregory had a reputation
for abusing his mother when he
was intoxicated. Neighbors also
said Gregory was drunk Sunday,
January IA when he notified
them of his mothers death.
A representative of the state
bureau of investigation has been
here assisting Sheriff c.. T.
Doughton and his deputies in in
vestigating the Gregory death.

CHAPTER vi
Synopsis

Lee HOLSTER, returning unex-
pectedly from a trip abroad to
the Circle v ranch, his home
childhood, is troubled by signs OF
neglect. joey, an old pr0spectOr
friend Of Matt Blair, Lees fOs-
ter father and owner of the
ranch, tells Lee that Matt has
killed himself, probably discOur-
aged by hard times. The ranch is
going to ruin and Virginia, Mats
daughter is visiting the Archers'
her uncle and aunt, in New York.
Her uncle wants her to sell the
place to Milton Bradish, old as
S0ciate of Mats. Lee persuades
Virginia to return to the ranch
Mrs. Archer follows her, accom-
panied by Stanley, son OF Milton
BradiSh. Stanley thinks he may
be able to discredit Lee in Wiz
ginia's eyes.

l.
A Man
Died October Is, 1888
Slanty Gano knew what that
s-mple was. He had watched Lee
HOLSTER swinging a pick to get
it. It had come from the spot
where Matt Blair's Wlll-o' the
wisp samples had been dug.
Slanty stood glowering at it to1
some minutes before he slid out
cautiously, with no wish to meet
a man he both hated and feared
If Slanty Gano was curious
enough to pry into Lee Hollis
ter's affairs, Lee was equally
observant of Slanty's. He did not
like Slanty and he did not trust
him. He did not care for Law
Ter, either. Therefore, when ne
caught a glimpse of Slanty and
Lawler behind the shelter OF a
cedar thicket one day, he pick
eted his horse a safe distance
away and followed. Moving light
ly, with an eye for betraylng
stones underfoot, Lee swung
down to a shelf just above the
point where they had disap-
peared, dropped flat on it and
wormed cautiously out to the
edge.
Voices came to him. He could
Just see the two men about
thirty feet below. Both men were
half drunk, Lawler morose, Sian
ty argumentative and boastful
Lee heard Slanty's haunting
voice.
"Takin' orders from Lee Hol-
lister yet? we've been keepln

must have fired ye."

me anything I say. l got him just
where I want him. I got"
He checked himself abruptly
as if realizing that he was talking
too much.
Il got a big idea," Slanty fin
ished craftily. 'That's wha'
brings the money in. Come on
les be movin'."
He yawned and stretched, the
sobered man of the two. The
Watchful face above drew bach
just in time, as Slanty looked VI
and around.
When the two men went or
down the slope the rock shelf wa!
empty.
For nearly a week Lees cabir
had been empty. Virginia begar
to wonder why she had no daily
glimpses of a tall figure riding
her range as if he owned it, Of
going calmly past her door to Wis
it old friends in the bunk house
She rode over to see Joey anC
dropped diplomatic question Of
two, but Joey had not seen Lee
for days. Odd that he had no
said anything to Joey about hi:
plans. Perhaps he was i'll up there
in his cabin, and alone. Someone
ought to go -.
She turned Black Lightning:
head and touched him into
quicker action.
The little cabin looked lonely
and deserted as she neared it
Inside were orderliness and sim
plicity. The bunk on the othel
side of the room was nearly made
and a Navajo blanket lay acros:
it.
She went around slowly, look
ing at this thing and that. Before
the shelf where the lump Of
quartz lay she caused with
startled exclamation. She knew
how Lee cherished her father:
memory, but still that was an ode
thing to do, to put her father:
name and the date of his death
on that piece of quartz, like ar
epitaph-or a grim reminder.
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1940-01-25

The recollection of the intended
slur made her kinder to Lee than
she had meant to be. She danced
three more times with him. To-
ward the end of their last dance
Virginia turned her head and
laughed softly.
Lock, Lee Just outside the
door. I'm going to bring her IN.
His followed hers. Beyond
them was an open door, its shaft
of light cutting into the outer
shadows and, caught in the edge
of the light, they saw a gay lit
tie figure, with dark, vivid face,
black eyes that burned with ex-
citement, and a scarlet mouth.
The slim body swayed slightly to
the music, with ripping amman
grace.
AS Lee looked at her she SLID
hastily out of sight with an I'M
pudent lift of her chin. He laugh
ed.
THE little devil! She's Josefa
4 Ramirez, and her father is Fran
/ cisco Ramirez who used to be a
sheep herder and has now risen
to the dignity Of his own ranchl-
to. Matt helped him to get it. You
can count on Francisco. His faith
err was a servant to Don Luis &C.
ballos."
Every interesting" said Vlr.
ginia sweetly. "But not much OF
it seems to be about the girl.
You're holding out on me, Lee"
Nothing to hold" Lee was a
little curt about 1t.
Someone else claimed her and
she left him, her smile cool and
sweet. Lee hesitated, trifle ruff
fled by the uncertain ways OF
women, and then went out by
the door where the girl Joseta
had stood.
There was no sign OF her. Lee
leaned comfortably against the
side of the house and rolled a
cigarette.
Voices drifted to him, mans,
low and laughing, a girls IN
smoothered remonstance, more
coouettish than angry. Lee
flicked out his match and strobe
lightly around the corner OF the
house.
He thought he saw fitting
shadow, but it vanished and he
could not be sure A cigarette
made point Of light in the
darkness about ten feet away.
Stanley Bradish strolled toward
him.
Hello, HOLSTER he said in
differently. "That you? Thought
I heard voices out here"
did your" Lee was noncom-
initial, but his eyes searched the
darkness back of the house.
81 was probably mistaken
Coming in?" Stanley tossed his
lighted cigarette aside and star
ted on.
Lees eyes were on the half
smoked cigarette where it had
landed, still glowing.
'sWhen you've been in this part
of the country a little longer" he
said evenly, you'll use better
judgment than that. A fire, like
some other things, is easy to
start, but not so easy to put out
SANKEY'S annoyed stare fol
lowed him as he strobe off.
"Now what the devil" he
unused thoughtfully, 'did the cow
hand mean by that?"
The next day Stanley made g
trip to Saunders alone and found
his way to the office of Gideon
Morse, Counselor-at-Law.
''I'm Stanley Bradish," he saic
casually. "I'm staying at the Cir
Gle " ranch. That little matter Of

leave it to me-"
Gideon blinked, but forebore
comment. He had letter from

how much of it lay between the
lines.
