A Non-Partisan Family Is VOLUME xxxiv CLAUDE KITCHEN LAID TO REST UNDER A GREAT FLORAL BED (By Associated Press) 'Scotland Neck. June 1.?With more than two thousand of his country-; men who had come from far and i near to pay a last tribute of respect.! t.he remains of the late Congressman ' Claude Kitchen were laid to rest here this afternoon, while all North Carolina mourned the passing of one who had during his entire life time been a leader, first of the community then the state, and finally the nation. In accordance with the wishes of the late representative, simplicity marked the funeral services. A veritable bower of flowers covered the grave, silent testimonials to the affection of the people and their re garu i?>r tne leaner wno naa passca. Services were conducted by Dr. Charles Anderson, pastor of the Baptist church of which the congressman had been a member assisT---: by the Roc. Reuben Merirtith, <>t 'lie Episcopal church, and the Rv. E. L. Hihman, of the Methodist church.

Three ministers were present, and just before dinner, the people listened to ft vi>vv .niiinmiiati' sermon hv Rev. D. M. Wheeler of Triplett, N. C. Among- the older people present, were grand-ma Ingram, and Elijah Norris of Sands, and old uncle Riley Greer of Rutnerwood, X. C.t who is now turning toward* his 100 birthday. These old people added much to the occasion with pathetic words of hope and encouragement. Mr. and Mrs. Watson were married 52 years ago, and reared 1.1 children 11 of whom are living. They have labored very hard, in rearing their children and it is now a great pleasure as they approach the sunset of life, to reap in such an appropriate way the full rich honors of their early toil and care. If the worth of father and mother were fully real! wh'le living, as they will be missed when gone; their children would be lifting the burdens ^ of old age from their jhoulders, instead of bringing their gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave. The reverence of children towards their Barents was carried to the su blime in Hebrew families. The child found the ideal of his obedience ir Isaac's willingly yielding himself tc death at his fathers command. Joseph when he met his father, "fel cn his neck and wept a good while and bowed himself to the earth be fore him", and how the great* law giver "did obedience to his father in-law and kissed him".

The Cheka; Soviet Agency for repressing discontent, is very considerate in the matter of noise. During the first tw o weeks of April -148 persons were executed in one prison in Moscow, but! the residents in the vicinity of the Cheka prison had become so nervous over the constant firing that the cxe- i eutors did the work quietly with sab \ res and hatchets.
