America.
According to figures just furnished
by the State Red Cross seal commis
sion, of which Dr. L. B. McBrayer is
executive secretary, North Carolina
Bold 1,754,102 red cross seals last
year netting $17,541.02, less expenses
for the fight against tuberculosis.
This represents an increase of
forty-six per cent over the sale of
seals a year ago.
Of the cities and towns in the
state, Greensboro heads the list with
210,871 seals sold, while Raleigh is
second Avith 111760 and Asheville
third with, an even 100,000. From
the funds raised some of the towns
are employing visiting public health
nurses, some are planning anti-tuberculosis
educational work, while
others are paying part of the cost
of treatment for indigent tuberculo
sis patients.
Arrangements have been made to
cooperate more closely next year
with local Red Cross chapters in the
sale of seals and to have the seal
sale campaign close about December
15, after which the Red Cross and
the Anti-Tulberculosis organizations
will join forces in a holiday member
ship drive for members for the
American Red Cross. In this way it
is expected to increase the seal sales
for the erSe nation to approxi
mately a half'billion.
THE PRUSSIAN FARCE
Springfield Republican.
Play-acting is part of the job of
being a king, and William II sur
passes all his fellow-monarchs at it.
How carefully it is stge-managed is
shown in the obsequiclis tender of
the title of duke of Courland made
by the provincial council and in his
gratified response. How this busi
ness was engineered is explaned in
detail in an official dispatch from
the French government recently re
ceived in Washington. As a pre
iimiimrv tlifi T?altic nrovinces were
put last September under the author
ity of the grand neaaquarxers oi vne
armies in the east, and on September
21 a provincial council was organiz
ed in a manner sure to have the de
It. Tt included six delegates
from large landedi proprietors, six
from the minor owners, iour irom
the towns, one from the country ana
three from the clergy. io make
control more secure all 20 members
were chosen by the Diet, a body
which had been convoked irregularly
under Russian rule and in which only
the landed niobjility, almost wholly
of German origin, was represented.
It was this body which met on March
8 to ask for a closer union with
Germany and to offer the ducal
crown to the Prussian king. In this
farce we may see how much chance
there is for an honest application
to any of the occupied provinces of
the principal of selfdetermination.
James Smith, a. Scottish Printer:
1866.
Oh, lay tam canny doom, Jamie,
An tak' them frae my sicht!
They mind me o' her sweet wee face
An' sparkling ee sae bricht.
Oh lay them safty doon beside
The lock o' silne hair;
For the darlin' o' thy heart an' mine
Will never wear them mair.
But oh, the silvery voice, Jamie
That fondly lisped your name,
An' the wee bit han's sae aft held oot
Wi' joy when ye cam' hame!
An' oh, the smile the angel smile
That shone like simmer morn,
An' the rosy mou' that socht a kiss
'When ye were weary worn!
The eastlin' wind blaws cauld,
Jamie,
'The snaw's on hill an' plain;
The flowers that decked my lammie's
grave
Are faded noo an' gane!
Oh dinna speak! I ken she dwells
In von fair land aboon-r-
But sair's the sight that blin's my
ee
That wee, wee, pair o' shoon!
PETER SUMMEY
0SLET REQUISITES

Almond
There is a traction that Peter
Summey came from Alsace. lie
came to Pennsylvania and then to
North Carolina and made his home in
what is now Lincoln county on the
west bank of the South Fork of the
Catawba not far from the Catawba
county line. Here he had a good
farm and raised a family. He had
two sons, Jacob and Frederick. Ja
cob married the widow of John Mar
tin Shuford. The children of this
marriage are: George, Peter and Bar
bara. 'The maiden name of his wife
was Eve Warlick. She died in 1822
and is buried in the old grave yard
in the town of Lincolnton. After
her death Jacob Summey married
a Miss Avery of Burke county. She
was an aunt of the late Judge A. C.
Avery of Burke county. I suppose
he is buried in the Avery grave
yard in Burke county.
Frederick Summey married Blan-
tena Whitener, a daughter of pio
neer Michael Whitener. Frederick
Summey died before people were
buried, at Grace church and is bur
ied on his farm. This farm is now
in the possession of one of the Yo
der families. The farm is near
Grace church. The wife of Fred
erick Summey lived to be an old wo
man and is buried at Grace church.
George Summey was a son of Ja
cob Summey and wife. He married
a miss Corpening of Caldwell coun
ty. She was raised on Lower
Creek near Gamwell. The pioneer
house in which she was raised is
still standing. George Summey was
the owner of the Rock House Farm
of Catawba county. The farm is
now in the possession of Mr. James
WTilf ong of Catawiba county. Elvi
ra Summey, a daughter of George
Summey and wife married John Wil
fong. They are the parents of
Quince and James WSlfong. There
is a tradition that George Shuford
came to this county writh Peter Sum
mey. They left Alsace at the same
time. After remaining at York
Pennsylvania a short time they came
to North Carolina. George Shu
ford was the first Shuford to come
to this section of country.
The Summey people in this section
of country are good people. They
are always willing to do their duty
in church and state. George Sum
mey sold the Rock House farm to
his son in law, John WSlfong. He
then moved to one of the mountain
counties in western North Carolina.
Here he and his wife died and are
buried. They left children in that
section of the country.

the report current that the Royal

the company, wji one stating that
the sailings of the Amazon for this
side of the Atlantic from Liverpool
had been cancelled. A cable mes
sage from a passenger, however,
says that all on board had been sav
ed by that the cargo was lost.
