I> MEMORY OF MR. HENRI MAI
OF LTXCHBURG TA.I
Louisburg. Aug. 11. ? Mr. Henry May
died on the morning of July 28th at
the home of his nephew, J. O. May.
ten miles east of Louisburg, where he ?
had been visiting. The funeral was 1
conducted the day following by Rev. ?
Mr. Dowd. pastor of the Methodist
church of Louisburg. He was laid to i
rest with ail the Masonic honors apd
rites by a large number of Masons of
different lodges of Franklin County.
He was burled beside his brother, John 1
J. May. and sister, Mrs. Celeater Hayes
at the old May bnrying ground. I
There was a very large attendance .
of his relatives and acquaintances!
who gathered to pay their last tribute
of respect. The large number of floral 1
designs attested the love and esteem I
in which he was held. Mr. May was '
born in Granville County, May 15,
1836, having served all four years In '
the civil war. and many were the times 1
he spoke on his bed of affection of
his surgical work during this war and
did comrades and their experiences, j
Mr. May was married to Mrs. Thomas I
W. Joyner. nee Annie V. Wellons, of'
Suffolk, Va., February 1878, being a
sister to the Honorable Dr. James W.
Wellons, of Elon College, who Is now
in his ninety-ninth y*>ar. She died
January 12, 1892. Since her death Mr.
May bad remarried a widow and ?
had no chidren.
Sometime In the eightlee, Mr. May
and his wife moved to Lynchburg, Va., '
where he accumulated some property
and had remained there ever since. In !
their earlier days they both were mem- 1
bers of the Christian church, of Popes, '
near Franklinton. After moving to
Lynchburg there was no Christian ]
church there so they united with the
Centenary Methodist church where ,
they remained consistent members un
til their death.
When young entering mercantile
life, he soon showed ability and de- ]
veloped talent as a merchant, to this
business he added manufacturing. In- j
tercsted in everything that tended to
advance the Interests of his town, j
county, state and nation he became
widely, known, loved and honored. '
"see.At thou a man dilllgent In his bust
ness? He shall stand before Kings.""
His will was found In Lynchburg,
leaving his entire estate to his niece'f
and nephews to be equally divided, and
appointing D. H. Howard, of Lynch
burg, Va., and J. O. May, of Louisburg^
his executors. ?

SHEJTASDOAH PROVES ITS LXLIX*
ITET) RANGE
Lakehurst. N. J? Aug. 10. ? Follow
ing the successful test of a mooring
mast on the U. 8. 8. Patoka in Nar?
ragansett Bay. whch proved, according
to Commander Zachary Landsdowne,
that the dirigible has an "unlimited
cruising range," the Shenandoah re
turned t othe naval air station her^
at 5:38 a. m. today, after an ail night
cruise.
The Shenanfloah flew to Newport
Friday, and rode at the Patoka's maat
until the middle of Saturday afternoon.
She then cast free, and although it
first was believed she would spend
another night attached to the mother
?hip. th edirlgible st rated back to it*
base. On its return the ship went ?
hundred miles at sea to escape ft
storm according to Commander I -ana
down e He said there had been no,
mishap in connection with the teat
and that the trial had been prolonged
sufficiently to prove the feasibility of
uaing a floating base.

resources of the country.
f '"Grateful care" to the "veterans of
our wars, especially to those who were
stricken and wounded In the country's
service and whose confidence has
been so crueUy and corruptly abused."
Free Kro? Pledge
Finally, Mr. Davis said he entered
the campaign free from pledge or
promise to any man and would "hold
It so to the end." Also he declared
that when It became necessary to
raise funds for the conduct of the
campaign they would be^-ettatrlbuted
'with this understanding' and this
only: that neither the Democratic
party nor I as Its leader hare any
favors for sale."
Expressing In general terms his
approval of the proposals contained
In the platform adopted by the con
vention which nominated htm, the
candidate said he could NOT be ex
pected at this moment to discuss them
In detail or to outline the methods
by which they are to be carried Into
etfect.
"There will be time enough for that'1
he said.
Much of his address was given over
to a measured attack upon the rec
ord of the Republican party during
the past four years. Recounting what
he termed "the multiplied scandalB
of these melancholy years," Mr. Davis
assailed the ExecuUve Branch of gov
ernment for "hurried efforts to sup
press testimony, to discourage witness
es. to spy upon investigators and, fin
ally, by trumped up Indictment, to
frighten and deter" the Investigators
from their pursuit.
Attacks Tariff
He charged that In the enactment
of the present tariff law there was
"to unblushing return to the evil
days of rewarding party support and
political contributions with legisla
tive favors." Also he charged in
ability of the administration to func
tion due to disagreement between the
President and the Republican majority
In Congress to agree on public ques
tions.
Declaring that it was NOT in do
mestic maters alone that "the symp
toms of this creeping paralysis" have
appeared, Mr. Davis said that NOT
only have executive recommenda
tions for adherence to the World Court
Wen "flouted and ignored, but NO
evidence Is in sight that the Republi
can party as now constituted can frame
and carry to its conclusions any defin
ite and consistent foreign policy."
"With the reconstruction of Europe
weighing heavily on the world," he
said; "with American economic life
dwarfed and stunted by the Interrup
tion of world commerce; with the agri
cultural regions of the West sinking
into bankruptcy because of the loss
of their foreign markets; we have
stood by as powerless spectators, of- 1
fering to the world nothing but private I
rtiarity and individual advice."
Heliglous Freedom
Moving from his attack on the op
position to a discusson of other is
sues, Mr. Davis saved to the last
his utterances on, the subject which
was the basis of a bitter fight in the
New York Convention ? religious free
dom. Without referring by name to
iuiy organizations, the nominee said
he wished to "deounce bigotry, in
tolerance and race prejudice as alien
to the spirit of America" and prom
ised that when elected, he would
"set up NO standard of religious
faith or racial origin" as a qualifica
tion for any of the thousands of offices
he would be called upon to fill.
AM of Farmer
For the aid of the farmer, Mr. Davis
said the Democrats proposed to see
to It that the discriminations which
the tariff makes against him shall be
removed; that this government by do
ing Its share toward a European set
tlement shall help to revive and en
large his foreign markets; that the
forces of government shall be put
actively to work to lend assistance
to -endeavors for extending the prin
ciple of co-operative marketing; that
when widespread distress has over
taken him, every power which the
government enjoys under the Consti
tution shall be exerted In his aid.
"He Is entitled, too, to demand an
adequate service of transportation at
reasonable rates," the candidate said,
"la spite of the failures and short
comings of existing laws, this Is an
Ideal which I cannot believe to be be
yond the reach of attainment.'
Ttarntng to the field of foreign af
fairs, Mr. Davis told his audience that
the Democratic party favored the
World Court "n sincerity and NOT
merely for campaign purposes" re
garding It as a real advance toward
the peaceful settlement of Interna
tional disputes."
As to Leagne
As to the League of Nations, the
caadldate declared that "we do NOT
and can NOT accept the dictum un
authorised by an expression of pop
ular will that the League oKNattons
Is a closed Incident so far as we are
concerned." Adding that at NO time
had he believed that the entrance
of America Into the League could
ocenr, would occur or should occur
until the common judgment of the
Amerlan people was ready for the
step, he said he was "serenely on
fldent,, that a day would come when
the voice of public aproval would find
mease to make Itself heard."
promising that If he became Pres
ident of the United tates America
wonld sit aa " an equal among equals
wMDerer she sits at all at Interna
tional gatherings, Mr. Davis said he
coald NOT reconcile It with his Ideas
of the dignity of a great nation to
be represented at such gatherings only
"under the poor pretense of 'unoffi
cial observers.'"
