When Mrs. Fannie Sasser closed
her eyes in the last Ions: sleep, one of
the swe< test spirits, one of the strong
est characters, one of the truest
friends, one of the most loyal solof
the most devoted mothers went
on to her reward, the rest that remaineth
in the mansions prepared
for souls like hers.
It ig pleasing to reflect that life
does net end with what we call death
?or as it continues through all eternity
its influence is left to complete
the work begun here and to cheer and
bless, although "God giveth His beloved
sleep." There should be no
moaning at the bar when such an
one goes out to sea.

Mrs. S. I). Moak, of Nbrfield; of

so today hearts aru broken in the

source of joy and a refuge of strength
I to all who knew he:. Her words, always

In a recent letter to Col E. B. Norell,

returned from a three ytar
lay in Europe and who is spending
he suminer in New York State, rceri
to the western part of North
Carolina 'as the most promising secIon
of our country. The following
tract xfrom his letter will be of inerest:
"I hono we will both live Jong
nough to see the beginning?if no
mire?of the development of a secion
of our country on a very broad
'oundation, for I do not know any
iart of the world which has more
a wnn/lorfnl
ndustrial future than that section
[or a radius of 200 utiles from Murphy
as a center. When to this is
iddcd the healthfulness of wo torn

as Andrew Jackson said he was
in 1S43, when he said: 'I thank God
I live in such a InnJ as I do.* I hav.
much greater faith in the future of
this section than 1 have in any other

CONVENTION CUT

Conservative Program All Settled In
Advance?One Libera! Effort <

By David Loth m ,
New York, June ?Within the .
week the Republican Party will have
pone on record as favoring the most
Crrnscrvntiv. nnlii*ir>? nrtrl' will hnvo
scaled it with the nomination of conservative
candidates.
There was nothing else for it to;
do. It remains for the party only]
to convince the people that thiirs is'
an honest conversatism. The talk of,
drafting a liberal program supported
by liberal leaders is left to the Dem-i
ocrats, if they have' the political and'
wisdom and courage' to do it, and to
Senator LaFollette and his potential
third party.
Nothing was left to. chance at
Cleveland. The Whole proceeding
was carefully arranged in advance.
There remained only the fight over
the platform and the nomination of
a running mate for President Coolidge.
The convention is just assembling
in the Ohio as this is written,
but all the indications are that these
two remaining points are just as definitely
settlct as the r. nomination of
Mr. Coolidge.
There are a few nlanks still to he
pui into the platform. Just how important
they are is not known. But
they will not in their final shape
differ from the conservative tone of
the rest of the platform, the chief
difficulty of which will be to reconcile
the differences between the ex-j
ecutive and Congress.
There will not even be a name of-1
fered to compete with the President.
Senator LaFollette refuses to permit
his name to be presented although,
his own Wisconsin delegation will nn
doubt give him a complimentary vote'
Senator Johnson, of California, after
a long preconvcntion campaign, has
realized there is no market for his
particular brand of progressivism and
has also withdrawn from the race.
There will be one gesture against
the general conservatism of the convention.
Senator LaFollette.'s "men.
although their chief will be absent,
will present his verjr libera! Ideas and
see them rejected. No doubt by the
time this article appears in print, this
'will already have b^en. done,
j The Wisconsin lonlcr w ,11 then
await the action of the Democatic
I convention. If it adopt* enough c l
1 his ideas, there is a good chance r?e
would swing his support, under cover
or otherwise, Co the Democrat ticket.
That support would be strong
i nough to insure a Democratic vie
' Lury, out li Laroiieue aoe noi approve
of the New York platform, he
plans to run himself, thus throwing
the election into Congress where he
can dictate the selection.

the interested citizens of the town a
it native outline ol tne principal
Events being planned for the day was
made, and the decision to make all
events absolutely free to all visitors
was reached. Among the free events
will be a barbecue dinnr, baseball
games and a grand display of fireworks
in the evening. It is the expectation
of those in charge of arrangements
that this will be the biggest
drawing event ever staged in
his section.
In the past it has been customary
at most celebrations to charge for
such events as the ball games, and
more often than not the public has
expected to pay for their lunches at
these celebrations. But th;? year
an innovation is being made in that
it will all be free.
Among the events planned are two
ball games, one in the morning and
one in the afternoon; barbecue; address
by public man; field games,
bar.d concerts throughout the day;
and finally an elaborate fire works
display in the evening. With this
program something will he in progress
throughout the day from nine
in the morning until nine at mght.
With a full day like this it is expected
that hundreds of visitors from
this entire section will be attracted
here for the celebration. The roads
are now in good condition and automobile
parties for miles around are ex
pected.
