He obtained a com mon school education, and was then thrown ou his own resources and without a murmur met fibe world in this crippled condition, to battle oht a living. He did it for years by traveling from place to place selling newspapers and pericdica's. He be came a great reader and is today, not withstanding his confinement in the home on account of sickness, one of the best posted men in the county. He. has an exceedingly bright mind and is a good conversationalist, but sickness and his natural affliction be came too great for him and he was forced to give up the battle for a liv ing and take refuge ill the county home. This was against his will, and a violent disappointment to George for lie has the energy and pluck that go to make up heroes, and regretted much to have to yield to his mala dies, but sickness is the conqueror of all.

Playmakers’ Poster Pictures North Carolina Ife. A significant Mt of advertising is being undertaken by the Carolina Playmakers here Tuesday, May 4th. Its design is at onee arresting and significant. Standing out against u beackground of brilliant orange, three Carolina folk symbolize the breadth of state life from the mountains of the sea. The sturdy Anglo-Saxon mountaineer stands with bis face toward t'.ie bills ♦ml his mountain cabin. The bloml thirsty pirate in the hadys of Black beard and Captain Kidd is slouchtd upon a keg of gunpowder, gazing out toward his ship gently tugging at its anchor as it rises and falls in the S.ow swells. He is himself ftc eS sence of all that lawless and romant *° han<l that once roved the Carolina waters of long ago. I„ th( , rpnt{ , r of the pictnre stands the sturdv mother holding a baby in her arm's and symbolizing the perpetuation of state life rfirough motherhood. The jmster was designed my Mary Graves Rees, a native of North Caro lina and Chapel Hill, who has for seven years studied art in New York Paris, nnd other art centers, but who recently returned to her native state and designed this poster as her first significant work after her return.

Dr. Dick Rankin has purchased re cently several of the sous of Lotus. This horse is world famous for It's speed, having won the coveted prize at the great Havana course last year.

CHILDREN (L JDOUGHTON VOICES Y IEWS ON DEMOCRATIC MEETING Says It Was Like a Me.hcdist Con ference or a Presbyterian Synod. I Washington, April 30.—Represen tative Doughton returned today from thgs state Democratic convention at Raleigh. He declared the convention was more like a Methodist confer ence or a Presbyterian r,ynod than the gathering of a political puyy He had never witnessed ao much en thusiasm and harmony. There was not a single fly in the ointment. You would think that a real nuciues of universal brotherhood had been formed at Raleigh, he observed. It means, he went on, that the Democrats will vote in full strength this fall and will poll unywhere from 100.006 to 150,060 majority. The* state was never so overwhelmingly j Democratic ns it now is. averred ■ Doughton. and it is dut to what the party has done for the state. It has ninde North Carolina the "empire state of the south" and one of the foremost states in the union, he said. The fact is the progress of the state is so closely associated with the record of the Democratic party. Mr. Dough!.ui said, it was hard for any citizen of the state to discriminate between the two. They are really In separable. The good roads have made thou sands of mountaineers who voted the Republican ticket 15 years ago. De mocrats with tbeir Fords, while the schoolhcuses have added the finishing touches. North Carolina is safely Democratic for the next generation according to all indications, he con cluded. This idea of attributing the in crease of the Demoeratie vote, along with improved facilities to Henry Ford, remands one that some of the Republican doctors have fit last provided one plausible ex planation of why their party has lost so much ground of late years. For many years few Democrats boil ed to do any business in a dozen counties in the western part of the state which they now carry with little difficulty.
