FOR HORTH CAROLINA DAY State Superintendent Has Arranged Excellent Programme "The Six- . teen Mountain Counties"' Gen- eral Subject. - r "With appropriate exercises North Carolina Day will be observed in the public schools of the State on Friday, December 17th, just one week before Christmas Day and an excellent pro gramme, which the State Superinten dent of Education has recently prepar ed, will be carried out in most of the schools. The general subject for the day is "The Sixteen Mountain Coun ties," and the preparation' oJs the his tori cal pamphlets is in the hands of Prof. It. D. W. Connor, Secretary of the State Historical Commission. The pamphlet, which contains a gen eral outline for the .celebration of the day and a summary of he historical events to be discussed, will shortly be sent to the county superintendents of education for distribution among the schools of their respective counties. A summary of the programme and of the matters to be treated in the pamphlet together with the subject for study given in tho table of contents is.a3 fol lows: Gaston's "The Old North State": "The Land of the Sky;" History in the Names of the Counties";' "Indian Names"; (a poem by Dr. Kemp P. Battle) ; "The Cherokee Indians in the Revolution"; "Kings -Mountain Boys"; Heroes of . Kings , Mountain, Cleveland, Shelby Sevier"; Harrell's "Ho!

He desires that all public schools of the State engage in the. celebration and states that there is no excuse, for any teacher failing to celebrate. The General Assembly has set apart one day in each year for a public consider ation of the history of the State in the public schools and the superin tendent says it is the duty of every public school teacher to obey the let ter of the law. He states further that it will be the pleasure of every patrio tic teacher to obey the spirit of. the law by using the opportunity of North Carolina Day to inspire the children with a new pride in their State, a new enthusism for the study of her history, and a new love of her and her people. The history of every section of the State has oeen studied, somewhat ; in the order of their settlement and de velopment, on North Carolina Days since the first observance in 1901. The superintendent says that it is hoped ultimately to stfmulate a study of local and county history ana the biographies oi the State's eminent sons. The pro grammes which have already been car; ried out on North Carolina Days have been such as to awaken a proper; pride in the history of the State, inspire con fidence in its present and hope in its future, and gave the people of the dif ferent sections of the State a better acquaintance with each otner.

Mr. Wal lace is a witness for the State and the attorneys for the prosecution hope to prove by him that mail addressed to Henry Johnson has been delivered at Mr. Home's place. of business, which they claim, would tend to strengthen their contention , that shipments of whiskey have been delivered to John son at Home's place of business.

Price had been in failing health for sometlme, but he was not forced to $ake Dei untu about two weeks ago. He had -been a suf ferer of Brlght's" disease for many months which caused his death. The passing of this good citizen came as a distinct shock to his many loved ones and friends, although it was real ized that his - condition was precari ous. Since taking his bed there were times when he appeared unusually bright and cheerful and friends and loved ones cherished the hope (hat he would ultimately be restored to health!.' He had a sinking spell, how ever, yesterday . morning about ' 5 o'clock, but rallied later 1 in the day and when two or .- three intimate friends called about noon he was bright and cheerful and conversed with them.

Brown Preached. on Sub- ; ' . ject of "Repentance - A congregation that filled every seat in the spacious auditorium of the' Christian Church heard a powerful sermon last night, by Rev. John T, Brown, of Louisville, Ky.. on the "sub ject of "Repentance." The sermon was of the practical kind and made a great impression upon the members of the congregation. Mr. Brown said that repentance . jneant , more "than feeling bad and sorry because one is found to be a sinner; it -means 1 a change from the wicked life to a life of service for God. Repentance is ac tion obedience to what God com mands us to be and do. He said his remarks applied to church members as well as. those not connected with the church. Members , of churches liv ing a selfish or an ungodly life must repent as well as those who have nev er attempted, to turn to God. Mr. Brown said that there are many peo ple in the churches who are on the way to perdition. because they are liv ing In sin, living in disobedience to God's word and will. He Bald that his purpose here was to tell the peo ple of their sins and urge them to turn from the unrighteous path to Christ, who is able to save them. Mr. Brown is a Southern man and thoroughly understands a North Car olina congregation. , He has made a most favorable impression upon the large number who have heard him here since-the series of meetings- be gan last Sunday . night. One of the features of each ' service is an illus trated song by the whole congregation. A picture of some song is thrown upon the screen together with. the words, and the congregation sits in the dark ness and sings. , , - . Tonight Mr. Brown will take as his subject "The (State of the Righteous Dead." This is an important theme and will be handled in a most interest ing and instructive ; manner by Mr. Brown. The people of the, city, gener ally are invited to hear him. Saturday night Mr. Brown will give an illustrated lecture on "India." He has spent three years in the. foreign countries and his lecture on India will be of great interest to those who hear him. A silver offering will be taken. Funeral of Mrs. t P'. Edge.. The funeral of Mrs. L. P. Edge was held at 9 o'clock yesterday from the residence of her brother-ln law, Mr. George, 1112 North Fifth street, con ducted by Rev. Dr. A. D.
