Excellency, 4th Month
The fall term of the Asheboro'
school is over with examinations |
safely behind and a good beginning on
the spring term’s work, according to
Reginald Turner, superintendent of,
the school. Attendance has held up
very well during the fall and winter
months until this week when the at
tendance has been so impaired that'
it may react on the number of
teachers assigned the local school for,
next fall.
The average result of examinations
is fairly satisfactory as is the report
from the standard test plan through
out the elementary school, revealing
a general improvement over the tests
of past years. The majority of the
high school students passed also, with
the usual number of failures due
chiefly to lack of application.

Mysterious Death
Of 5 Hound Dogs
During This Week
Causing a considerable stir in
West. Asheboro this week was the
finding of five dead hound dogs.
The odd part of the incident was
that the dog’s heads were ap
parently chewed off, as were
several feet and legs of the
animals, to say nothing of a hip
for good measure.
There are several theories con
cerning the mysterious death of
these animals. Some claiming that
there were distinct tracks in the
snow of some large animal that
either hopped or walked on two
feet, while other have circulated a
report that a panther or lion or
bear is at large.
Some claim that it is a case of
.“dog eat dog"—but the strange
case is yet unsolved while the dogs
liie dead to speak for themselves.

Green Gables Burns
Early Sunday Morn
With Enormous Loss
A fire early Sunday morning
destroying Green Gables, a filling
station and lunch room north of Ashe
boro, was a surprise to the people of
Asheboro. Since there was no city
hydrant near enough to merit the
presence of the fire truck, there was
no alarm given.
The property, valued at $3,000, was
owned by Mr. and Mrs. P. V. Freeman.
The equipment was estimated at
around $800 with a total insurance
coverage of $1200. Teague and Law
ing were operating the place at the
time of the fire.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
It started, however, upstairs. There
are two. theories advanced as to the
origin, neither of which can be
substantiated. The possibility of a
careless cigarette is ofte idea and
defective wiring is the other.
Franklinville and Central Falls each
have a troop.
The two Asheboro troops are
number 24 and number 25, registered
in the Uwharrie council and partici
pate in the Jamboree as well as the
summer camp. During the past year,
group good turns include the collec
tion of clothing for needy families;
visitors during the state fox
meeting in Asheboro, and
to collect and distribute toys

Replies To Charges Made Last
Week By Congressman Tink
ham Of Massachusetts
“Traiterous” Conduct
Was Tinkham Charge
Mr. Lambeth’s Reply Is Lengthy
And Eloquent In Defense
Of Fellow Tar Heel
Some days past, Representative
Tinkham, of Massachusetts, arose on
the halls of congress and declared that
the late Walter Hines Page, ambas
sador to Great Britain under the
Wilson administration, conducted him
self "traitorously.” Congressman
Tinkham referred to conduct of the
Ambassador while acting as America's
emissary. At the time, Congressman
J. Walter Lambeth of Thomasville,
representative from the eighth dis
trict, but formerly appointed from the
old seventh, to fill the unexpired term
of the late Congressman Wm. C.
Hammer, of Asheboro, arose and de
fended his dead fellow Tar Heel, say
ing he would say more later.
On Monday, therefore, Mr. Lambeth
came to the session of congress ready
to defend the name of Mr. Page.
Referring to Congressman Tinkham*s
remarks concerning the pre-war days
when Page in London was in the
minds of many associated with CoL
House, Secretary Lansing and the
Morgan interests in efforts to bring
this country into the war on the side
of the allies, at the time that Secre
tary Bryan, Claude Kitchin, house
leader in those days, and the late
Representative Robert N. Page, were
as ceaselessly striving for peace. But
Mr. Lambeth, after a study of the
war-time history, acquits Mr. Page,
the then ambassador, of a British
bias, which, critics have said, made
it impossible for him to be neutral
during the critical period when he wa*
presumably pursuing that kind of
policy.
Mr. Lambeth said, in part: “In the
generation just preceding mine, a
family by the name of Page contrib
uted five brothers, all of them dis
tteSuishetT fdr-^uh*ie- service. Hfc»man "*•
in North Carolina would dare rise in
any public forum or write upon paper
which might meet the eyes of the
public any intimation or insinuation
or innuendo attaching upon the
character and honor of those five
brothers. Four of them now sleep in
the church yard of Old Bethesda,
near Aberdeen, N. C. One of them re
presented for 16 years in this body
the district which I now have the
honor of serving. Some of the older
members will recall the quality and
statesmanship of Robert Newton
Page.
“Mr. Speaker, I would that I had
time this morning to pay tribute to
the life and character and public
service of Robert Page, but time will
not permit. On some other occasion
I hope to have the opportunity to
pay fitting tribute to him.
“Another brother who distinguish
ed himself for public service was
Frank Page, for years chairman of
the state highway commission for
North Carolina. Under his chairman
ship more than $1000,000,000 was
spent for construction of a system
of modem highways throughout the
state. Mr. Lambeth then eulogized the
other brothers, all dead save one, J.
R. Page of Aberdeen, and concluded
his lengthy discourse with:
“Mr. Speaker, having stated the
philosophy of the gentleman from
Massachusetts and his mongrel allies
who would have this country become
a second rate world power and not
