Cemetery Census Provides Important Historical Data Dally Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Oct. 26.—Data collected from nearly 1,00)000 tombstones in North Carolina are expected to be of outstanding interest and assistance to genealogists and to seekers after historical information about the State’s inhabitants.

King George Opens Parliament,Making Appeal For Peace Monarch Promises Protec tion for All England from Air Raids by Enemy Power DEPLORES CONFLICT IN SPAIN AND CHINA Says His Government Aims To Do All in Its Power To Restore Peace There; Queen Elizabeth Occupies Chair by His Side As He Speaks London, Oct. 26.(AP)—King George VI, an earnest figure in the splendid trappings of Britain’s ancient ma jesty, pledged his government today to attempts to restore peace to China and Spain. At the same time, the monarch promised air raid protection for all England and forecast more help for England’s needy families. The monarch read slowly and hesi tatingly the prepared text of his speech. Frequent pauses, some of them ten seconds in duration, broke the sentences and some words were lost entirely to the gallery —apparent- ly because of a speech impediment which has troubled the king a num ber of years. George opened -his first Parliament from the throne dais in the sombre House of Lords, with Queen Elizabeth in a chair of state at his side, and concluded with this unusual benedic tion: “I pray that under the blessings of Almighty God the outcome of your deliberations may advance the hap piness and well being of my people and the peace of world.” Usually the king merely invokes a divine blessing on Parliament’s “la bors.” Otherwise, however, the speech delivered to the assembled members of Parliament in the musty grandeur of the House of Lords, hewed to the usual formula. It began with: “My relations with foreign powers continue to be friend ly.” It told the legislators the monarch had invited Belgium’s King Leopold to visit him in November, and Rou manian King Carol next spring. Then it dealt with the spectre of (Continued on Page Three.) WINSTON.
