come historic In this section of North
Carolina There have been many re
unions of these notable families, but
it is the consensus of opinion that
yesterday's gathering was the most
(successful of any from every point of
view. There were speeches, excellent
refreshments and withal that limit
less spirit of "camaraderie" without
Which all gatherings of this nature
are failures.
Rain Defied.

anything as far as putting a damper
an the proceedings went. The de
scendants of that fiturdy old pioneer
of Buncombe county. John Weaver,
who in 1785 followed un Indian trail
across the Blue Ridge and laid the
foundation for a generation of citi

were not to be dismayed by the per
sistent 'drizzle. .Everything on the
program was cled out without a
hitch. :
With the Weavers and Balrds ming
led the Vances, the Gudgers, the Oar

condition.
Tonight will m (ermine w hether he
will recover, as his physicians ex-pect
the crucial time to come before the
dawn of another 'djny. Should he

n.te hope of his recovery, although
he wiil not bo nut of danger for
several days.
During the late hours of last night
and early hours of today the govern

saline injections were atdiministered
to stimulate the almost Imperceptible
pulse.
The first official bulletin issued by
Dr. yilliam J. Mayo today said that
Governor Johnson rallied from the
sinking spell and his condition was
satisfactory.
Other bulletins tended to confirm
this except one at noon which stated
that the governor was Buffering oin
slderatole pain pom accumulation of
gas. Late this afternoon the house
surgeon said that the hot paefcs which
had been used were being removed.
The governor complained very little
and displayed 'gnat hopefulness and
endurance, pining the day the gov
ernor joked frequently uith the -1-n -Ufa
about his condition. To. Dr.
KfcNIven the governor said:
"We had a dose nhav' last night,

Shortly before five o'clock Dr

er Robert E. Peary declared today
that Ir Cook was expected by the
world to submit to an Impartial tri
bunal, or board of arbitration, a revis
ed and authentic signed statement of

Cook soon would reach the United
States. Commander Peary said, and
he was glad at the prospect of the
matter being submitted for considera
tion at an early date. It should be
done inside of a couple of weeks and
when it was done, the commander de
clared, he was prepared to turn over
to the board of arbitration to the
public and !o Die scientific bodies an
array of testimony which would dis
prove Dr. Cooks claims for all time
Of Course He's Hoiicni.
Continuing (he explorer said that
he had stated in a private message to
a friend th it Dr. Cook had given the
world a "g ild brick." This message
hud been allowed to leak nut, and
while he would have preferred a mote
elegant expression, he win willing
now to let these words stand because
they were at least emphatic. The ex
plorer said also that he would turn
over to a competent tribunal and the
public, certified copies of his own ob
servations made on Ms trip to I he pole
with all other information bearing
thereon. Peary does not care to ex
