Wli) i Roosevelt Republican Favors Coi. (C; N. Willard in N. Y. World.) I have voted the Republican ticket since 1880, my first vote going to James A. Garfield. ' hive swallowed the Harding dose to the best of my ability, until nature revolted and forced me to support ttie red-blooded, hard hitting James M. Cox, Briefly stated, my reasons are as fol lows: I am for the League of Na tiont; not a league or an associa tion of nations promised bv Har ding at some future time with .the bludgeon of Hiram Johnson in the background. I cannot un , derstand the platitudes of Har ding or his struggling grammar on this question, but I do under stand the language of Cox: "I am in favor of going in." As a follower of Roosevelt I am for progress and not retro gression. Cox as Governor of O hio has been positive, fearless, resourceful, and his achieve ments are written in good black ink in the history of Ohio. Har ding as a Senator has been nega ative and has been simply as voting unit for the forces of reac tion. No better index to his hab it of thought and action can be found than his objection to the forward-looking constitution of Ohio, which he declared would "tear Ohio from her moorings." Through all her industrial troub- , le not a shot was heard through all Ohio, and James M. Cox was her able executive. I prefer the humane stand of President Wilson and Secretary Colby on the Polish question to the attitude of Harding: "it is no concern of ours." It is unthinka ble that a selfish, conceited A merica should wrap herself in the Stars and Stripes and turn her back on outraged Armenian womanhood and Poland's plight. Equally amazing for a man of "caution" as Harding is suppos ed to be, to declare: "There will be a complete reversal of our for eign policy." There is good reason for belief that a large body of our voters give no thought to the issues of the day, but, actuated by a feel ing of retaliation only, seek re venge on James M. Cox for a fan cied grievance against the Presi dent. Thir grievance is the win ning of the war, and the same incidious propaganda is again directed at the government via the punishment of a Democratic administration. Shall the gospel of hate, retaliation and malice . supplant the rule of reason? I know no such creed, and as an American, not a Republican, re- fuse to aid in the consummation of any snch siimy proposition. Report of the condition of The Watauga County Bank at Boone, N.

U.f of the Three Fork Associ ation, met at Bethel Sept. 18th, with a splendid attendance from seven r.hurches. The annual sermon was preach ed by Rev. P. M. Huggins at 11 a. tn. Subject: "Woman's devo tion to the Lord." It was our great pleasure to have with us the following visi tors: Rev. and Mrs. K. D. Stu denbroke, Mrs. J. A, Boldin and Mrs.- A. R. Barlow, who were welcomed to our meeting. The interest in Woman's work is steadily increasing in this As sociation, but there is a great work to be d)ne yet, for out of thirty-six churches in the associ ation, only eight have a missiona ry society. Reports from the societies were encourage showing an increased effort on the part of the women to make their societies grow. and the papers that were read showed that much time and thought had been used in prepar ing them, and the talks that were made were full of the Spir it. The address given by Mrs. J. A. Boldin on Annual Enlistment in the society, and reaching the uninlisted church" was both in forming and inspiring. The music was efficiently ren dered by Mrs. A. R. Barlow. The afternoon devotional was led by Mrs. Studenbroke, reading the three commissions of our Lord, and a great spiritual atmosphere pervaded the meeting as num bers of scripture verses were re cietd on the new birth. In the absence of Mrs. W. W. Wilson, who was sick at the time of this meeting, the Union voted to ?end a word of greeting. A mission study class demon stration was conducted by Mrs. Studenbrock, using "All the World in All tho World." Rev. Studenbroke made encouraging remarks. The next meeting of this Un ion will be held with Beaver Dam church on Saturday before the second Sunday in Sept., 1921. The following officers were e- lected for the ensuing year: Mrs. D. P. Horton, Supt.. Mrs, I. G. Greer. Assti Supt.; Mrs. J. M. Moretz Secretary; Mrs. P. M. Huggins, Y. W. A. Supt.;. Mrs. Emma Moore Junior Supt, Mrs. Alice Moody, Literature Secreta ry, and Mrs. W. W.

The subject of this sketch was born Jan. 5, 1855, and was called ed to answer the last roll-call Aug. 23, 1920; aged 65 years, 7 months and 18 days. He was born on the place now occupied by Mr. Wade Rogers. He moved to Flat Top Mountain; from there to the New River sec tion, Jiving at different places in that part of the county. He was never married; was a hard work er, but never accumulated much pro)erty. He was aitruthful, la abiding citizen, admiring the same in all men. Tom, as we called him, pro fessed a change by grace about v the year 1885, and lived an or derly, upright life from that time on. He had been afflicted for nearly twelve months, grow ing steadily worse, without a murmur. He conversed freely with his nephew in regard to his business and his burial. On the evening before the end came he " talked freely to the family about heaven and their loved ones who had preceded them to that bet tar world, asking if they would know each other up there. He told his sister he must die. and then fell asleep in Jesus, as we believe. I will say to brothers and sis- tirs not to grieve for him but up yonder and be prepare! to meet hira where sickness and death can never come. W. M. ELROD. . .
