EARLY MORNING FIRE DESTROYS GILBERT HOUSE Fire originating: from a defective flue completely destroyed one of the houses of T. J. Gilbert in factory town early Tuesday morning, and damaged another house close by also belonging to Mr. Gilbert. Albert Evans and family were oc cupying the house which burned, and lr>st practically all of their furniture and clothing, only a few minor things being taken from the burning build mg before it collapsed. The fire is thought to have started from a defective flue, and becau^c of the early morning hour at which it occurred, about 4 o'clock, com pletely enveloped the house before the fire engine and department could ?et on the scene. Thy building was about ready to collapse when the alarm was -oundei. Hie house was part'y covered by insurance.

DEATH CLAIMS AGED MURPHY | WOMAN TUES.i Funeral Services for Mrs. J. W. King j Held Wednesday ? Was Mother of Mrs. John H. Dillard On Tuesday morning, October 21st Mrs. J. \Y. king, one of the oldest residents of Cherokee county, passed away at the residence ot" her only daughter, Mi.-. John II. Dillani, of Muiphy, with whom she has made her home for the pa: t -twenty years, ever inee the death of her husband, which occurred in May, 1910. Mrs. King was a daughter of Rev. and Mrs. T. Cof>er, who were among the first wh:te settlers in this section of the state and her father was also one of the pioneers of Meth odism. She was born in what was then Cherokee, now Graham county, on January 31.-1, 1841, being one of a hu>* family of children. She made a profession of religion in her early girlhood and until the day of her death, wa- not only a staunch mem ber of the church of her choice, but an intelligent, though humble Christ an, who daily read her Bible, and had a childlike, and at the same time, a robust faith in God. And when the call came, it found her ready7 and unafraid. In 1860, she was happily married to J. \Y. King, of what is now Gra ham county, with whom she lived until his death. "Wiley"' King, as he was familiarly known, was a mer chant at Robbir.sville and Murphy, and was at one time postmaster at the latter place and he later represent ed Graham county in the General As sembly. He and Mr-4. King, with "the exception of a shdrt while -they liv ed in California, spent their entire married life in these two counties. Of th.-i union there were born six children, four boys and two girls, one t" the former, Robert L. King, having died some years ago, and a daughter, Ida, having died as she was growing into womanhood. She is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Dillard, and three . on-, J. W. King, of Atlanta, Ga., W. B. King, of Oakland, California, and E. B. King, of Topton. Mrs. King was born only a few years after >the Cherokees were mo ed to the West, and as she possessed a remarkably retentive memory, she could tell some very interesting sto ries of those day?. Those who knew er best say that her native mental ity was almost unsurpassed. She could repeat, verbatum. as much of the Scriptures of which she was for ?ars a constant student, as any other person, perhaps in the county. This fine old mother in Israel, whose like none of shall soon see again, was laid to rest by loving hands alter a simple service at her late home in Murphy, on Wednesday afternoon in the Andrews cemetery, where her late husband, a son, and two gr andchildren sleep. Peace be to her ashes! peared that Franklin was helpless un der the heavy onslaught of Andrews line and backfield. The ball was kept in Franklin territory almost vhe whole time. Ihe touchdown which resulted in victory for Andrews was made by a march down the field to the three vard line followed by a pass from Hamilton to Waldroup who received the bail in the end zone.

We lost count of the touchdowns but the score was in the neighborhood of 32 So 0. By way of criticism, let us say that Murphy lost to a great High School team, one of the best we have seen in some time. They went at it, from '.he opening whistle, as though they meant to win decisively. They did. Their line charged hard and fast. Holes were opened in Murphy's de fense big enough "to drive a wagon through. And when there was no h<le the backs plowed through by low, hard thrusts for five and ten yards. This same team plays Cop perhill soon and what a trame that will be. Our choice is Ducktown by two touchdowns. Now about this Murphy team. They , have the coaching. They have the natural ability. Wha*t they seem to lack is SPIRIT. Some of them seem ; to bo playing for the glory of being j on the team and the privilege of j wearing a uniform. Their hearts are ; ot in it. If they can score without Getting too het up or getting tackled ' ? oo hard, well and good. But they have not gone out to bang and plow | their wTay to victory. This was evi- 1 dent in their game with Ducktown. j Some of the backs would grab the ' ball and light out, but, finding no ' wide gap through which to run would j give up and wait So be stopped. Sev-j eral times one of them, who ought i to carry three or four men for ten I yards or more, would see himself sur rounded and stop dead still and get j-eacfy to fall. The same bone-headed play was uncorked which cost a touchdr-wn at Coppcrhill. Standing behind their own goal line they tossed a pass ? and worse still they tossed it right i ^o the hands of a Ducktown man. Football is the hardest of all sports It requires the best of ph>sicai con dition. Some of our players are smok ing, eating sweets and staying out Jatc at nights. Two or three plays takes all their wind and they are lick ed before they go on the Jtield. Foo-iball games are won by teams having the determination and the will to take competition. It requires the best in the man who .vould come <?ut on top. Our boys, as a whoi3 have l'ot shown that spirit. They may win a game from some poorly coached or weak team but unless they show a vurn for the better most anybody will beat them. Rod McCleilan, Frank Ferguson, and maybe one or two others seem to have found themselves. But they can't win alone. It will take eleven hard playing, hard charging men, de termined to play ineir hearts out if necessary. We understand that two or three players have qufc the team. Well and good! Players who would quit are a hindrance and never a help. Maybe now we have a squad who really want to play. This week's game will be with Syl va High at Sylva. We are hoping for better things but will have to be shown. I ANDREWS WINS Andrews took a long trip last Fri day and came back with Franklin's scalp hanging on their belts. The score was 7-0. Coming right after their close game with Haye?ville it would appear that Andrews now has arrived. As far as we remember, this is their first victory. They are to be "ongratulated. They have always looked good in defeat. They went down fighting. They have the spirit.

After singing of the club hymn and the invocation by the Rev. E. F. j Troutman, Mrs. D. H. Tillitt. pie-i-j lent of the local club extended greet- ; ngs to he visitors. Mrs. S. W. Black | of ?>ryson City responded to the ad rtress of welcome. Mrs. Land discus ed quite freely ! the various feautres of club activities! iind showed how the women through I their club work are having a signifi- J can part in the progress our state is m king. < ther items besides the anti I illboard effort included in "he legis lative program of the year are the ad justment of working hours for wo mpn and children in industry so as to abolish night work and require children to finish the sixth grade in . chool before geing employed. It is advocated that the state take over the industrial school for negro girls, and that further atention be paid to tne farm colony for delinquent white Kirl- at Kinston. In emphasizing the need of trained leadership in club life the club insti tute was recommended as an effect ive method of providing this leader ship. The .speaker dweK at length upon the educational work of the Federation in providing night schools for adult illiterates and a loan fund tor worthy girls unable to pay their way through school. She called at tention to the two hundredth anni \ersary of the birthday of George Washington to be celebrated in Washington, D. C., in 1U32. Women were urged to use their privilege of citizenship fully and to t'Altr thcit" full share of responsibility in making our government reach the highest ideals. A very interesting feature of the morning program was the demonstra tion given by Miss Whitaker of Ashe ville with a group of night school pu pils who had been Laught to read and write. All the pupils testified in an impressive way to the benefits they had received from the school. At the afternoon session which was held in the hotel dining room, Mrs. IX II. Tillitt of Andrews and Mrs. Mary Swan also of Andrews were elected president and secretary re spectively for the coming year. The meeting adjourned to meet in Bry son City in 1032. How Crippled Boys and Girls in Cherokee Coun ty Are Being Helped A clinic for crippled children in Clay, Cherokee, Graham, Jackson, Macon and Swain counties was held at Bryson City, September 2.V.h, the purpose of this clinic was to examine and advise neces-ary treatment. Of the 50 children who attended the clinic, 27 were from Cherokee county. Of this number sixteen sases were advised hospital treatment. Fiur of the 1G being: emergency cases have >een offered hospital "treatment at the Orthopaedic Hospital at Gaston ia. X, C. Three of the most interesting and urgent cases were clubfoot babie under five months of age. If the children are to be treated properly, it is necessary for them to tzo to ihe hospital once each month before they tart walking, for casts to be adjust ed. Each case in itself is a very ex pensive matter for people of oven moderate means. And these parti cular cases require some outside as sistance. Soce public spirited individuals and organizations have contributed to this worthy cause. The Woman's Club of Murphy, U. D. C. of Andrews, The Teachers Training Class, Mr. J. H. Dillard, Mr. Thomas Spencer, of Murphy. Quite a few others have made tentative promises.
