FIRE DESTROYS | STONE HOME AT BLAIRSVILLE Building Covered By Insurance But Contents Are .4 Total Loss | Fire of unknown origin destroyed the home of Council H. Stone, prom inent citizen and former represen tative of I nion County, Georgia, at Blairsville on Friday morning, June 8th. Mr. Stone was a \isitor to Murphy last week and said that he i had fixed up his garage and was making it his home until the build ing could be replaced. The following is taken from the North Georgia News, published at Blairsville: Fire of unknown origin destroyed I the home of Mr. Stone here Friday morning about 3 o'clock. Mr. and Mrs. Stone were away from home that night, and Mrs. Hood and Mr. Stone's children were the only ones in the house at the time. Mildred first heard the fire burning and got out of bed and woke the other occu pants, and in ten minutes after she got them awake the bed on which Harold and Edward were sleeping was on fire. They narrowly escap ed being trapped in the burning building. The fire had gained such a headway before it was discovered that they were unable to save any thing except a few chairs that were on the front porch and Mildred saved a box of papers belonging to Mr. Stone. The building was covered by insurance, but the con tents were a total loss. Mr. Stone lost a fine lot of books, valuable papers, and a great collection of fine pictures, and many other things too numerous to mention in addition tc the furniture and wearing apparel. ) Herbert Hoover was horn in ! Iowa in 1 f?74, t lie son of a black smith. His mother was a reader in a Quaker meeting house. He v as orphaned at 9 and brought up by ! relatives in Oregon: he worked his way through Leland Stanford L'i'i .ersry: he worked with a pick in the Mines, and later was assistant in the office of a San Francisco en rrin?vr. \t 23 he was manager of a large British mine in Australia: at 23 Di >v_tor General of the Imperial Mines of China. He was a chit i fig ure in the defense of Teintisn in the Boxer Revolution, and during the next iifteen years headed vast min ing enterprises in \arioiis quarters of the world. He purchased an abandoned mine in Burma and gave this up at the outbreak of the war because to keep it he would have had to become a British citizen. So at the age of 40 his public career began. He won recognition as Chairman of the Commission for Relief in Belgium. Upon America's entry in to the war Hoover became the United States Food Administrator. After the war. he was appointed Chair man of the Supreme Economic Coun cil of the Allies. He organized the American Relief Administration to save lives in Russia during 1920-21. Since 1921 Hoover has been Secre tary of Commerce. In addition to his work as a cabi net member, Hoover has a multitude of other tasks. He is Director of the Mississippi Flood Relief and various other national movements. Hoover is six feet tall and of powerful physique. He makes a deep impression as a speaker. It is G. 0. P.

SENATE IS TRAIL MADE BY CURTIS Hoover's Running Mate's Early Days if ere Spent On Rare Tracks KANSAS CITY. June 15. I API ? From blanket Indian to vice presi dent will he the romantic career of Charles Curtis if elected in Novem- 1 her. Plain Charles Curtis, "Charlie'' lo his friends, took this convention by storm because it recognized his sturdy manhood drawn from the blood of his Kaw Indian forebears and the fire and daring of his French-Canadian- American sire. In obtaining the Republican en dorsement for vice president, he brushed against that of president and still was in the race when the contenders came down the home stretch. Racing is nothing new to Charles Curtis. He earned his first real sal- 1 ary as a jockey. He was the Kail; Sande of the West in the 70 s and if i Curtis would abandon dignity and | talk the language of other days, he j probably would say: j '*1 was in the money." Today Charles Curtis is not think ing of what he has accomplished, j His mind has harked back to a moonlit night on the plains of Kan- , sas when his wrinkled old Indian grandmother, Julie Poppin. crawled I to this mere lad*s side around the Indian camp fire. "Go back to your white ancestors, my boy," she implored. For Charles Curtis had fled from his father's relatives in Topeka and rejoined the Kaws while th*y were on the morch. The boy demurred, he (Continued on page 8) said that he is rather shy, very quiet and very modest. Though he is an exceedingly busy man, it is not dif ficult for anyone to secure an au dience with him. HOOVER SENDS G. 0. P.

I stand upon that platform. At a later date I shall discuss it fully, but in the meantime I may as xvell , say that under the principles the 'victory of the party will assure nat [ ional defense, maintain economy in the administration of government, protect American work, farmers land business men alike, form com petition arising out of lower stan dards of living abroad, foster indi vidual intiative. insure stability of business and employment, promote our foreign commerce ,nd develop cur national resources. You have manifested a deep concern in the problems of agriculture. You have pledged the party to support speci fic and constructive relief upon a nationwide scale backed by the re sources of the federal government. We will and must Jind a sound solu tion that will bring security and contentment to this great section of our people. Problems Ahead "But the problems of the next four years are more than economic, in a profound sense they are moral and spiritual. This convention has sounded a note of moral leadership. "Shall the world have peace? Shall prosperity in this nation be more thoroughly distributed? Shall we build steadily toward the ideal of equal opportunity to all our peo ple. Shall there be secured that obedience to law which is essential (Continued on iw?*e *)
