Mrs. Mary F. (Harmon) Per
ry, daughter of James and Jane
Harmon, was born Jan. 11, 1844.
She wa3 76 years, .4 months, and
26 days old. In the year. 18C6
she was married to Marion Per
ry. They are survived by one
son, Mr. Theo. H. Perry. The
subject of this brief sketch pro
fessed religion at the age, of 13,
and joined the Methodist churdh
at Chatham church on the Pitts
boro circuit. At the time of her
marriage she moved her member
ship to Brown's v chapel, where
she remained a consistent mem
ber until her death. As to her
pure, exalted, Christian charac-
1 ter, too much can hardly be said.
She was greatly beloved by those
who knew her. Several weeks
before she died her health began
to decline; her intense sickness
lasted only a few daysher suf
ferings were great but when
the Master called she was ready.
All who knew anything about her
life have the assurance that she
is in the Better World.
Her funeral service was con
ducted by the writer at the
church where she held her mem
bership, in the presence of a
large circle of sorrowing friends
and relations. The floral offer
ings were beautiful. Her body
rests in the cemetery of Brown's
chapel church.

Morrison Strong in Moore.
Carthage, June 21. A Morri
son for Governor Club was or
ganized here Saturday night
with two hundred and forty
three members. U. L. Spence
was made chairman and M. G.
Darymple, secretary. Spence,
in his speech of acceptance of
the chairmanship, said he had
known Morrison for thirty years
and he knew him to be a man
possessing a pleasing tongue, an
alert mind and an irreproachable
character. , "
Mr. Spence devoted about five
minutes to Max Gardner and
said nothing but good of nim ex
cept to express surprise that
Gardner, hearing Henry Page's
denunciation of Morrison, did
not then and there publicly re
sent the libel. : Morrison, Mr.
Spence said, has been a Demo
crat for thirty years and has
struck mighty blows for the
party. . : " '
Mr. Spence was an ardent supy
porter of Robt. N. Page in the
first primary, as were a large
number of the members of the
Morrrison club. Mr. Morrison
will speak here at 2 p. m. Wed
nesday and in- Aberdeen at 8 p.
m. the same day.
IT CAN BE DONE
Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied,
That ,4maybe it couldn't" but he
would be one
Who wouldn't say so 'till he'd tried.
So he buckled right in with the
trace of a grin
On his face. If he worriedThe hid it
He started to sing as he tackled
the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
Somebody scoffed: "Oh, you'll never
do that, , 0
At least do one ever has done it,"
But he took off his coat and took
off his hat
And the first thing he knew he'd
begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit
of a grin.
If any doubt rose h'ed forbid it;
He started to sing as he tackled
the thing
That couldn't be done, and he did it.
There .are thousands to tell you
it cannot be done,
There are thousands to prophesy
failure;
There are thousands to point out
to you, one by one, .
The dangers that wait -to assail you,
But just buckle in with a bit of a grin,
Then take off your coat and go to it;
Just start in to sing as you tackle
the thing
That cannot be done, and you'll do it.

WILSON URGES SPECIAL
SESSION IN TENNESSEE
" Washington, June 23. President
Wilson tonight sent a telegram to
Governor RobertB, of Tennessee,
urging that a special session of. the
Tennessee legislature be called to
act on the Federal suffrage amend
ment. The President in his telegram '
said:
"It would , be a real service to the
par!y and to the nation if it is "
possible'for you under the peculiar
prvision of your State constitution,,
having in mind the recent decision ;
of the Supreme Court in the Ohio
case, to call a special session of the
legislature of Tennessee to consider
the suffrage amendment. Allow mev
to urge this very earnestly.' ;
The State constitution of Ten
nessee has a provision prohibiting
action by the State legislature onv
a Federal constitutional amendment
except when the legislature taking '
the action Has been chosen at an
election -in which the proposed
amendment was an issue. Some,
legal authorities have been quoted
as holding that . such a provision
was invalidated by the Supreme
Court's recent decision in the Ohio
referendum case..
GOV. ROBERTS SAYS HE WILL .
CALL SPECIAL SESSION SOON.
Knoxville, Tenn., June 23. -Governor
Roberts announced here to
night he would call a special ses
sion of the Tennessee Legislature
for action on the Federal suffrage
amendment in ample time for the
women to vote in the November
election.
This announcement was made af-"
ter the Governor had been shown
a copy of atelegram sent u him to-1
night by President Wilson urging
such action.
- The Governor declined to com
ment on the constitutionality of
such action, saying it is in the
hands of Frank , M. Thompson, ,
State's attorney, general, who has
the matter up with the Federal De
partment of Justice.
"It is purely a Federal matter
and not a State question," said the
Governor, "and I have nothing to do
with that end of It."

McAdoo. Sentiment is practically nnani-j
nious among the Tar Heels for his nomi-
nation, notwithstanding his declaration
that his name must not be presented
to the convention. Mr. McAdoo's with
drawal -has aroused general speculation
among the delegates that President Wil
son's name may be presented for a
third term nomination.
Of course, North Carolina will cat
her 24 .votes for Senator Sim:rons im
the first ballot " and will continue to
vote for him as lonj as there may he
any opportunity to nominate him. Sen
ator Glass, however, doesn't stand :i

North , Carolina delegates, however,
are pinning their, faith in Mr. McAdoo,
and if any sort of movement for him
is launched jn Frisco, the TarHeels
will rally to his banner , with"' great
enthusiasm, and the same can be ' said
of the j West Virginia delegation, which
feels' much as do the North Carolina
crowd. '"'"' ' 1 .

Meet West Virginians.
A pleasing incident of today has been.'
meeting members' of the West Virginia
named.
With Bryan on Dry Plank.
The North Carolina delegation will be'
in line with -Mr. Bryan for the insertion
of a dry plank in the platform, though
the "private" views of some of the del
egates might indicate otherwise. :, Tere
are some who f eel , that the Democrats
might garner a few votes by putting in
a wet plank) but they are a hopeless ni-i
nority ' : ' ' " ' '
The Los Angeles earthquake is herald
ed by the Tar Heels as the forerunner
of a landslide for McAdoo at San Frah-
Cisco,
and if they can't get him then
thev mav turn to Cox, of Ohio. How
ever, they would prefer, to put . him on
as vice presidential nominee.
The McComb's outburst against Wil
son aroused little interest among the Tar
Heels, as they believe Mr. Wilson can
be depended on to do the square thing
and they are not worrying about' the
possibility of a 1 third term nomination.
Miss Pou Honored. ,
The Chicago Tribune today plays up
prominently a photograph of Miss Mar
garet Pou, daughter of Congressman
Pou, who has been named as one of the
assistant segeants-at-ams at the na
tional convention.
Mock, conventions in the. smoking cars
each, night give the delegates a lot of
pleasure. ; J. Walter Williamson, of
Wilmington, was nominated for presi
dent last night and" Judge S; F. Austin,
of Nashville, for vice president; :J. T.
West, of Raleigh, ran as a "dark horse"
on both tickets, but didn't make a show.
