Former Ashe
Resident. Saw
War Activity

Fortunately Ashe county does
not have a single native citizen
located in the war areas of Eur
ope, insofar as it is known here.
but a former temporary resident
of the county was in the heart of
the invaded section of Norway.
This person was Bill Mills, of
Monroe, N. c., who lived here
and worked on the Blue Ridge
Parkway about two years ago.
Bill may not be faring so we'll
now, but he was not injured dur
ing the active Nazi invasion.
A picture of him, taken with
a group of other Americans at
tached to hospital unit, ap-
peared in The Charlotte Observ-
er last Friday.
About the first of the year, Bill
and his two sisters enrolled for
hospital service in Norway and
Sweden. They are now stationed
at Stockholm, Sweden.

Spencer Rites Held
At Grassy Creek
Was Former Resident OF This
County Before Going To
West Virginia.

Mrs. Luetishia Spencer, II, wi
dow of the late Troy Spencer,
died Friday morning. May "a, at
her home in Anawalt, w. Va. She
had been i'll for sometime, and
her death was attributed to a
heart ailment.
She had been a resident of Ana
walt for the last 80 years having
gone there from Grayson county,
Va. Her husband preceded her in
death several years ago, also, one
son, Charles, who died last Oct
ober.
She is survived by one brother,
Robert Reedy, of Volney, Va, and
five sons: Rev. J. o. Spencer, Bel
Air, Md; c. F. Spencer, Grassy
Creek, N. c.; Gadis Spencer,
Thorpe, w. Va; Clarence Spencer,
Bluefield, w. Va; Lester Spencer,
Logan, w. Va, and two daugh-
tiers Mrs. Nonnie Whitman and
Mrs. Nellie Cooper both of Ana
walt, w. Va.
Funeral services were held Sun
day, May 26, at Grassy Creek.
The church was overlooking with
friends and relatives of the de-
ceased. Burial was in the family
cemetery.

ference in their administrations. In other
words, no clear-cut issues divide their cam
paigns and consequently second race
would probably develop into rather bit
ter personality battle.
Conditions in the world and in this coun-
try at this time are such that unless there
were some vital issue at stake, it is more
advisable to promote harmony and peace
along our political fronts. There is too
much war going on in Europe today and
every day it is getting closer home than
we should like for it to be.
Another. argument against, a, second pri-
mary is the tremendous expense involved,
and the factional fights and prejudices that
would result all down the line in counties
and towns.
Lee Gravely, A. J. Maxwell and Paul
Grady, three other leading candidates in
the race, realized the same conditions and
urged Mr.. Horton not to run. In the face
of all these circumstances, the Lieutenant
Governor acted wisely and will no doubt
be rewarded for his decision.
The same words of commentator apply
to Erskine Smith and George Pritchard,
who also declined to call second primaries
in their respective races.
In every respect, Mr. Broughton is qua
lifted to make the state fine Governor.

John Jordan Douglass

No more will the Piedmont country or
the Coastal plain give inspiration for his
lyrics. DIR. John Jordan Douglass is dead.
By profession and high calling min
lister of the Gospel, DR.. Douglass found that
the pulpit alone was not sufficient out
let for all the beauty which was conjured
up in his imaginative mind and flooded his
SOUL He was born poet and he could not
escape his destiny. From his pipes of Pal"
came steady stream of golden honeyflow,
beautiful touching, inspiring Rich in
imagery, religious in tone like the lang
uage of the lyricst who stands forever in
awe of the magic forces of nature and the
wonder works of the Divine, the poetry of
John Jordan Douglass often spoke in the
Spirit of power.
The preacher-poet was lover of peace,
a strong undaunted believer in the immor-
tally of man and his continuing progress
toward fraternity and happiness

A Wise Decision

The final decision of Mr.. Wilkins P. Hor-
ton not to demand second primary is in
deed a commendable and unselfish posi-
ton for the present Lieutenant Governor of
North Carolina to take.
Naturally any statesman would like to be
Governor of this great state and under our
democratic system of government and fur
Their embodied in the primary election
laws, Mr. Horton had perfect right to
call SECOND primary, if he so desired.
But he decided not to do so and we are
glad he reached this decision because the
chances are nine to one that he would not
defeat Hon. j. M. Broughton, who led in
a field of seven Democratic candidates, by
over 10000 majority.
Both of these men are ably qualified to
serve as Governor and, judging by their
platforms, there would be very little diff

contains six men, industrial executives, fl
nancial executives, political executives,
and one woman, who may be described,
but only partially, as an educational exc
cutive.
The Woman's College of the University
of North Carolina community, Greensboro,
and North Carolina education, of which
that community is so considerable part,
are at once sensible of the distinguished
honor of the selection of Miss Harriet FL
liott dean of women, to membership in
that advisory body.
It is body that will have to do with the
equipment of an army and navy, the crea-

than those actively engaged in it.
Into this protection Of the home against
the incidents of war-and of state of de-
Tense second only to war in its repercus-
sions on the national life-Miss Elliott will
put the full devotion of her fine capacities
