Famed Radio Slats Xo Appear Under Auspices Local Organization. i Daniel Boone Councill, Junior Order United American Mechanics feels that it is offering the people of this section the outstanding entertainment feature of the Christinas holiday season by presenting Dick Hartman's Tennessee Ramblers, in the courthouse in Boone Wednesday evening, December 18, the proceeds from the admission fee to be used toward providing adequate lodge-room facilities for the expanded organization. The Ramblers have become famous over the United States through their vocal and instrumental renditions of the music of the Appalachian highlands. and are regular daily entertainers over radio station WET, Charlotte. They have also worked extensively in the making of phonograph records, and through these sources have already "become intensely popular with music-lovers of this section of the country. The troupe is made up of five persons, and those who have heard them on the air are anxious to see them in person. Business men of the town, interested in securing the entertainment, and at the Same time anxious to co-operatc with the Juniors, have made possible extensive advertising of the event. Method of Negro's Execution In Doubt Raleigh.?Jake Johnson, certain of death, sat on the row of condemned men at Central prison here today uncertain whether electricity or lethal gs will take his Ife or whether he will live beyond next Friday. liut although Jake has expressed no preference in the matter of the state's two death-dealing methods, he said, "I want to live." The Negro was convicted in Rockingham county of criminally assaulting an elderly white woman. Today there was considerable j doubt as to whether the new lethal gas chamber will be used next Friday to take Johnson's life. Despite the f?.et thnr Oevernor Ehringhaus has announced he will not I interfere with the death sentence, re-1 moving all hope of Johnson for a commutation, there were technicalities in the law changing the mode of execution in this state from electrocution to gas that had to be reckoned with. Warden H. H. Honeycutt, of Central nrison, And Oscar Pitts, acting iirectors of the state penal division, look cognizance of the indefinite provision as to effectiveness of the law ind conferred with Attorney Generil A. A. F. Seawell and Edwin M Sill. Srfltf* nfl I'rtla PAirfmSoctAMrt" The Supreme Court has not decid!d whether the gas act applies to :apltal felons sentenced after July i , or only to thoae committing crimes ifter tliat date. The only thing cerain is tliat it applies definitely to ail :rimes committed after July 1. But Johnson committed his crime ast February, and under one conitruction of the law his sentence ihould be death by electrocution. Gill promised a statement 'early. his week" on the matter. The court i nay decide the question this week; >n one case pending before it. In-1 iications today were that execution ; >f Johnson may be postponed pend-' ng some definite decision as to the jffectiveness of the law. RTVP1CRT RAOin RFPAIRTNG?-At! lowest cost.

She probabiy thinks of Santa Claus Who hasn't visited her for years. Slowly rocking by the blazing fire, Her mind gradually moves away? If her children could have gifts to admire And be happy on Christinas day. Little Billy came up to her side; Save his mother knoelintr In He knew before his father died Santa Ci&us came every year. "Why so sad, muvver?" he said, Speaking: softly, his little head bent, "Santa will turn when I'm in bed?" And his mother a message sent. The wind blew as never before, Snowflakes lighted the darkened night? 12ui morning found on the cabin floor Gifts that would bring supreme delight. The happy children examined each toy, To the wrappers they set a flame. The mother's soul was filled with joy, I For she kouvv from whence they came. GERTRUDE GRAYBEAL.
