Winner of the Five Dollars In Gold
For Suggesting the TS'ame Selected.
The committee appointed to make
the selection of a name for Mitchi

week and after considering all the
names suggested selected the name
of T?ake Mltchiner. This selection
will preserve the family name, giving
it direct connection and is considered
the most practical of the large num
ber suggested.
Rev. J. F. Mltchiner returned the
past week from a visit to Washing
ton City, where he made arrange
ment? to get the fish to stock the
pond. They are expected to arrive In
the near future.
The lovers of the sport or fishing
will read with much interest the fol

Fills All Vacancies?Dr. Plllsbury of
A. ? E. College Here?To Enlarge
School Facilities.
Loulsburg has taken its place am
ong the more progressive cities and
counties by electing a woman on the
Board of Trustees of the Loulsburg
Graded School. At a recent meeting
of the Board of Trustees all the va
cancies existing were filled. Tho*e
elected to positions were as followa:
Mrs. M. ~C. FTSaaintsr Pr -A? Boa vis.
O. M. Beam, filling "The vacancies
caused by the death of Mr. J. A. Tur
ner and the removal of Mr. J. R. Col
lie and Rev. W. M. Gil more.
The Board of Trustees are consid
ering the erection of more class room
facilities and have many plans under
consideration. Among them are the
erection of two more buildings at the
right and left of the present building
The idea of adding to the present
building was investigated and in nd^
dition to not being able to make a de
sirable arrangement the Board has
information that it will cost as much
as to build new buildings. Dr. Pllli
bury, of A. & E. College, of Raleigh
was ii? Loulsburg Saturday to con
sult with the Board In regard to of
fering suggestions In the erection of
buildings supplying the accommoda
tions needed. He suggested erecting
one large building ,4ust in front of
the old one. This Is being taken un
der consideration but the opinion pre
vails that the two buildings, one to eith
er side, will make more desirable ar
rangements. The new building or
buildings are to be of the most mod
ern style, with the large auditorium,
roomy and well lighted class rooms,
athletic equipment, Domestic science,
etc.
When a plan is finally decided upon
the Board will give the entire plans
to the public. TRnloubt, for~approval

Max Gardner, gave the following state
ment today-in regard to Mtv Gardn-er'a
natorial nomination:
"As to bow th# campaign for gov
ernor now stands, I unhesitatingly
statejhat Mr^Gardner is stronger to
]day than ever before. Notwithstan
ding the claims made in ihe Charlotte
Observer that he has lost support by
his position on the labor question
naire, the people of the state approve
his position, and daily he is receiving
promises of support from hundreds
of people on this account. The ef
fort to make it appear tiiat Mr. Gard
ner has" a fight with organized labor
has failed of success. Seeing that his
position that a candidate for governor
should not pledge_hlmsftlf _ to_ any
class or group was the correct one,
some of those opposing him have un
dertaken to break the force of it in
two ways; first, by asserting that an
answer to the questionnaire did not
amount to a pledge. This position
everyone knows cannot bo maintain
ed. Secondly, by asserting that Mr.
Gardner in his statement was belit
tling the office of governor.
"What Mr. Gardner said was that
the governor had no veto power and
could only recommend, legislation,
and that the governor should be un
hampered by pledges so that he could
be free to exercise whatever moral In.
fluence went with the office. This
was but a statement of a well known
fact and yet one or two papers have
made this the occasion or a bitter at
tack upon him."

IN MEMORY OF MR. \\. C. STBK'K
LAM>.
: In the toils and stir of life comes
'death as the rushing of angels wings it
gently covers and separates from the
body the soul of a life well spent.
Such was the case when news rea
ched me of the death of a beloved bro
ther, W. C. Strickland. In the midst
of my sorrows I could only say, "A
life well spent." No better tribute
could I pay to one so loyal to his
church and God. More than- a year
ago I went to Wood as pastor of M. E
Church and was made welcome and
made to feel at home by brother Stri
ckland. in every phase of Christian
activity was lie found living for those
that are blinded to God a wonderful
glory. Living a lifo that goes on
through the darkest of times as a
guide to humanity. Just a few hours
before his sad death he talked to me.
I shall always cherish his last words.
"Keep going there's a great future
for you." I have always felt that I
am a stronger Christian for having
associated with him. Felt when in
his presence I was near a man of God.
At the time of his death Mr. Strick
land was 73 years old, having stood
the test of ago a? well as of Christi
anity. His remains were tenderly
iald to rest beneath a beautiful floral
services.
Many a true friend turn to leave the
sacred spot think as I did. lie had
<.-?ly crossed over to rest beneath the
sha le of the trees.

MORRISON SPEAKS
TO GOOD CROWD
Pays Respects to the Disgruntled
Democrats And Makes Strong Plea
For Nomination.
In an especially strong and logl<&l
speech Hon. Cameron Morrison, Dem-4
ocratic candidate for Governor, held
the closest attention or bis hearers
in the Court House here Wednesday
afternoon for two hours while he re
cited the wonderful success the Dem
ocratic party had brought to North
Carolina and the nation, picturing
the utter helplessness of North Car
olina twenty-five years ago, how the
people como together in a determin
ed effort and put the Democratic par
-ty buck, into power and started the
state on the way to the present great
day of prosperity, when North Caro
lina stands abreast with any state in
the Union. He paid nlgli tributes to
Simmons, Overman,. Pou, Kitchln and
others. He paid his respects to the
grouch who could be found in somf
places abusing the Democratic paxQr
and complaining of the administra
tion as having spent too much money,
etc. He pointed that these condi
tions were the natural outcome of a
progressive government. showing
that the government is reaching out
to hel p the people In every way pos
sible. And he pleaded with these to
warm up their Democracy and put
their hearts right with the only par
ty that has stood the vest and found
to be with the people In a dactrlne of
live and let live. He made a pretty
strong appeal to the voters tor their
support in the coming primary and
drew his comparison between himself
and his fellow candidates. His speech
I was much enjoyed by quite a good
I crowd.
The speaker was welcomed to Lou
isburg by Chairman E. H." Malone, of
the Democratic Executive Committee,
ami was introduced by Capt. P. G. Al
ston in a most earnest and well tak
en speech.
Mr. Morrison went from Louisburg

that .night.

to think that we will be compelled to

that^ my relation to him accounts for
my beauty. I never knew before that
we were related, and I do hope, if we
are, that the President won't tell any
one about it. He says when Capt
Thomas goes to the senate, he will
make it a law that we are all to at
tend the Injun College. Maybe he
will, when he gets there. But the
President must remember that we
women will be noting soon. And
what on earth will we be studying
about to send a man to senate who
will make such laws? I am not de
nying that we women are foolish (for
the good 'Lord made us so to match
men), but the President will be safe
in betting his bottom Hollar (his top

I that we know which side our bread Is
