Fridav, night. 'There were no witnesses to the ^tragedy and, Cole and Lambert told conflicting stories of the occurrence. Lambert says he was forced, in self jtefenae, ,to kill Cole. Cole, in an al leged deathbed statement, said, that he did not fight at all, that Lambert fiut hiw as he (Cole) was walking away., - < The single gash on Cole's body ex tended six inches from near the cen ter of the chest to almost under the right armpit, reaching the lungs. The cutting occurred about 1 o' clock Friday afternoon, and Cole lived until 9 o'clock that night. His statement regarding the cutting was made on his deathbed.

Lambert, who was arrested and lodged in Swain county jail shortly after the cutting, will be given c. pre liminary hearing before Justice o^ the Peace W. M. Taylor next Mon day. o WHEN IT HAPPENS IN THE MOUNTAINS I ? ^ Charlotte Observer. Automobile accidents, are much less frequent on the mountain roads than in the low country. This is be cause of fwo facts: the mountain roads are safely built, with wide curves and easy grades, and motor ists naturally exercise more caution in driving. Accidents in the moun tains are so infrequent occurence that when one does happen it causes momentary excitement ? and in nine cases out of ten, the responsibility is placed upon carelessness on the part of the man (and more frequent ly the boy Y at the wheel. We have never known a woman driver to fig ure in an automobile accident on the mountain roads. o EAST LA PORTE Mr. Dee Woolura and' family and Miss Flossie Parks went to Sylva, Thursday night on a business trip.

J. JONES If it is the Christian religion it is everdav religion, for Christianity is not a thing to be attended to on Sunday merely. It is not just. a mas ter of preaching ami pniying ' and having Sunday School. It is a matter of living like Christ every day:1 It is a matter of doin^j everything we do in a way that squares with ? what Jesus Christ taught. ? Sunday is not given us so'that we may have release from our vocations and avocalions to attend to religion. Rather Sunday is a day on which we may find out better how to be Chris tians on all the ^ys and in all our work. The motive/111 going to church is not that we nmy get away' from the cares of the ffl?ek and be relig ious awhile. It is rather* that wo may bring those etires into the .pres ence of the Lord find learn 1'roin him how to bear tliein. What we do at church -on Sunday is most worth while when it is done in light of what jve arc doing all the rest of the time.^ , A revival meeting is not a Y.eck or two s?t apart for being religions. It in avtime when we stfek to hud out how to be religious all the time. Religious is life after the pattern of the Christ. Attempting to do your job, to run your business, by the principles Jesus taught and cxeutp plified is what being Christians means. That is the great objective in the whole round of the church's program. , , Certainly that is worth while. In deed it is the only ideal "that is really worth while. Everything that is desirable to an honorable Jierson will be the better secured through Christian ty so interpreted thaH it can otherwise be securt 1. Honorable people behave most rationally than when they ^o after religion with the greatest zeal. The best thing one can do to make his community a desirable community is to be the best Chris tian he can and work the hardest to get others to be* Christians. Why not all of us be sensible people and go after Christianity with real zeal? 1 ? n ? THB TIEST BAPTIST CHURCH W. ROSS yOKLEtf, Pastor. Sunday School 9, 4f> A. M. Mr. J. T. Gribblf , ?3npt.

Campaign plarfs tor1 tfie ^fight' for" 'popidar *up port for the port and watRtfokiis portation development program got under way today arid to night. Gov ernor Morrison announced the se lection of General' Albert L Cox of Ral6igh to be stale campaign man ager. The governor tomorrow will send to the Senate for confirmation the names of the seven nien^ fcho will compose the port commission, creat ed under the port bill which was formally ratified following thifd reading passage in the House. Republican representatives will be included 011 the commission, the {governor said tonight. He would not divulge^thc names of those to be appointed. Some friends of the move ment considered the advisability of ^delaying the .appointments for fear s participation in the campaign by members of the .commission might develop an opposition charge that they were working for selfish mo tives. Governor Morrison, however, blelieves that public knowledge in ) advance of the character of men to compose the body will furnish the assurance that the money proposed to be appropriated will be wisely aiid beneficially expended. "I want the i>eoplc to know the men who are going to spend the money", the governor said. By the end of the - month the campaign to carry the liirht lor port development' into every county will- be ready for inaugura* lion. General Cox will take charge of preliminary organization plans im mediately." The state campaign manager is widely known in North Carolina. He is a lawyer of ability and experience and has long been interested in pub lic matters of a constructive char-, acter. During the world war he was colonel of the North Carolina reg iment of artillerymen and saw active service in France.
