I have dis missed the issues of the campaigr 'rom the mountains to the sea. ] lave found the people interested n getting information on the seri ,u;. problems that will confront his state during the next four tears. "In concluding this campaign ] pave followed in the footsteps oi •he late Governor Aycock and the pther great men who have follow •d him. This was the only kind oi pampaign I knew how to conduct. "In recent days, however, I have peen amazed to find that my op ponent has abandoned the issues n which the people were inter ested, and plunged to a plane oi low level in order to engage in a personal attack on me. This? cam paign. born of desperation, will ’ail tomorrow, just as it failed in 1936.” Cherry said. ‘In this final statement, I want o talk briefly about the one thing hat is uppermost in the minds and learts of all of us- Today North Carolina’s sons and daughters? — 30.000 of them — are making free dom's fight in army camps, in tropical jungles, on the road to Rome, on the seven seas, on Afri ca's blistering sands, in the frozen Artie, in the air and under the sea. ‘With thousand? of them posed for the final victorious assault on the citadel of tyranny and oppres sion, there should be no dissen tion nor lack of unity among our people. The clash of factions and the strife of partisanship should be rtilled so that we may hear and heed the triumphant voice of God a? given by the prophet Isaiah when he says: ‘Fear thou not for I am with thee.’ ” ---V Obituaries MISS HYACINTH JABOBS The funeral of Miss Hyacinth Ja cobs was conducted yesterday af ternoon by the Revs. James Lee, George Saimd—s. and J.
