Upton, a deputy sheriff who talked With young Vanderburg the morning after the crime was dls ! covered, said Jacob told him that ! his father had come home drunk the night of the fire. The deputy also said that the boy told him only a small part of the kitchen was burning when he was awakened by smoke the night of the fire. Prev ious witnesses said young Vander burg told them the house was., a mass of flames when he was awakened and rushed downstairs on discovering the fire. According to Upton, Jacob said that when he rushed down the stairs and passed the door to the kitchen he found the flames confined to a small area around the fire place. The entire house was not burning, he said. i Several neighbors of the Vander burg’s were called to testify that Jacob frequently quarreled with members of the family and would do no work on the farm. J. C. Kirby, tenant of the elder Vander burg, said that Jacob's father told him ‘if I was able to handle the boy I would give him a straping.” PUBLICATION OF SUMMONS. North Carolina.

High Lights Of Gardner Address (Continued from page* onf.) of narcotics and alcohoi on human ■ system. How Hr Said It. Noteworthy excerpts from his ad dress follow: I I am taking office today a free ; man. I am not hampered by any ! pledges or promises, it shall be my definite aim and unfalterirng purpose to deal justly with every in j dividual and every interest in North Carolina, and to know no party, creed or nationality In the discharge of my official duties. I do not believe this state needs any vast amount of new legislation With the changes strengthening the primary laws there should bo enacted an adequate secret law for the general elections, popularly known and designated as the Aus tralian ballot system. A fair and just workmen's com pensation law should be provided by the general assembly. I favor continuation of state aid for the six months school term, and substantial aid for all those who have voted the eight months term for themselves, and such others as may hereafter show the desire for a longer term, but I do not believe that it will be wise, at this time, to impose by legislative enactment, an eight months term upon the en time state. Therre should be no mystery, ob scurity, or complexity in handling public funds. We can never have economical or efficient government If we keep the public In the dark. I recommend that our county ' government laws be strengthened where necessary, and that they be made to apply to all alike. It is my recommendation that no additional road bonds be now au thorized. In order to furnish much needed relief from these high local taxes, I recommend the levy of one cent additional tax per gallon on gaso i line. If the general assembly should I see fit to relieve the counties of this ! direct property tax of $5,509,458, it | could do so by taking two cents i from the proposed five cents tax I on gasoline and applying it to county malntenace. I wish to emphasize that absolute requirement of keeping all commit ments of the state well within the limits of the revenue provided un der your tax bill. One of the major alms of my ad ministration shall be to improve agriculture and rural life in North Carolina. My plan shall be con structed around these four main points: (a) Pure-bred seed for our farms, (b) Pure-bred sires for our animals, (c) Grade A folk for our farms. (d> A fair and juit distribu tion of the tax burden. In making an Inventory of the assets of the state I should like to be able to write North Carolina down as first in observing the law.1 Dover Mull Better, Hope Held For Him Dover Mull, well known county man, who Is said to have attempted suicide early last Wednesday morn ing by shooting himself in the head, will likely live it is gathered from Information concerning his1 condition.

Notary Public My commission expires April 27 1930. At The The ses "The trouble with you is, you're beautiful but dumb! Dumb about' life! The way you dress and act says 'hands off to every man—and | still you expect your boss to fall In! love with you!” So said Mae, the blond art editor! with a different date every night, I after listening to Janet’s tearful ] story of how she overheard Jhn Con roy, owner of the advertising agency in which the girls work, say to a client, "Janet is a good secre tary but I'd as soon think of falling in love with a filing case.” Jims reaction to the new Janet and the ups and down of their ro mance form the story of "Beautiful But Dumb,” the Tiffany-Stahl pro duction starring Patsy Ruth Miller, showing at the Webb theatre to morrow. Some Thoughts On Death (By Thos. F. Opic, D. D„ in The Uplift.) Death is one of the few things that come to everybody in the world. “All must die, passing from life to eternity,” says Shakespeare. The best way to die right is to live right. He who lives nobly, without fear and without doubt, can die nobly and without doubt. Such a person may indeed view death not in horror but as a great—indeed, as the great adventure. "Death in it self is nothing,” says Dryden—“we fear to be we know not what, we know- not where”—but surely the Christian’s idea of the hereafter should easily and readily take that kind of a sting entirely from the scorpion death! Nature works “upward". God draws ever to higher and yet high er planes. We need not fear that death will lead us into lowered con ditions! The life that has been high here will be higher hereafter, we may well believe. The life that has been noble here will be nobler hereafter. God works ever upward. The mineral kingdom evolves into vegetable, the vegetable into the animal—and, but for the vegetable and the mineral, there obviously could be no animal kingdom! May it not be that the animal works up ward into the world of pure spirit? —at least so far as the human in the animal realm is concerned? Does there have to be physical em bodiment in order to be life? Ob viously no! A man s trunk and hands and physical parts do not constitute the man. These are but the physical tools with which he works. They are the physical manifestation of the man—of the ego—of the spir itual personalities is a more new birth into the realm of pure spirits —a realm without limits in either time of space. The spirit, the ego, the will, the affections , the per sonal consciousness—the “you,” I believe is released at death—to come and to go like flashes of thought, without the physical re striction now prohibiting. A,nd I believe also that the soul new-born infant is a novice in the physical sphere—he must find himself;” he must develop and grow used to his hew environment; he must learn how to function as pure spirit in a world of pure spirit. I do not accept modern “spirit ualism"—but the reason goes much deeper than the “spirits" seem so “crude” in their supposed “com munications” with us of the flesh! —much deeper than that those who have "crossed over” seem concern ed with such trivial things and so inadequately interpret the "other life” to us! Indeed, it would seem that this would be true in the very nature of the caLt>' They be in a New World! They are at a greater disadvantage than the child in school, who has yet to learn an al phabet and to master numbers be fore he may spell, compute or cor respond! But the “evidence” of “communication” is yet too flimsy for final conviction or for general acceptance. The Christian idea of death and the hereafter seems to be the most reasonable and the rjost consoling of all views. The Hindoo yogi with his “seven spheres;” the Egyptian with his idea of “transmigration;” the American-Indian with his “happy hunting ground”—and the atheist with his idea of “annihila tion”—these seem all to pale if not eclipse of a life of increasing beau ty and service and love beyond the grave. There is yet a “living” death to be avoided—a death to the good, the true, the beautiful. There is an Indifference to the glories of life, to the call of the spirit—a paralysis to the spiritual, the unseen, the ideal. Many "living" people are dead to aspiration—inert to any pull of God! Awake! thou that sleepest— and Christ shall give the light— and life and love. Thou shalt then have no horror of death—which is mere transition. Not only does piedmont North Carolina follow the best balanced system of farming in the state, but now it has taken honors in cotton growing from the coastal plain. The annual two-day short course i for beekeepers of North Carolina will be held at State college, Jan uary 24 and 26. Shelby, N. C.
