Boyd, federal judge in the western district of North Carolina, has addressed a letter to the President requesting the appointment of an additional judge in this district. Judge Boyd tells the President he is A 0.

Fourth We believe that in the hour of danger the Constitution and the flag demand the loyal service, and, if need be, the life of every citizen of these United States, and that the mstn who, in such an hour, withholds either sevice or blood is a bastard citizen and no true son of America.

Laws, two colored men who were operating the moonshine plant at the of the arrival of the officers. The still was in full operation and three gallons of whiskey had just been run off when the officers made their raid.

Four or five fermenters, with their contents, were destroyed, together with the still itself. The worm, which was made of copper, was brought to town and stored away to be used as evidence against the block-aders, in case it is needed for that purpose.

When Mr. JNichols was promoted to state bank examiner from the position of assistant, his office was not filled. Consequently comes the necessity of making two appointments now. "The announcement of the latest appointments was made by the corporation commision yesterday. Mr.

Latham, formerly of Plymouth, has had seventeen years banking experience and is regarded as a conservative, accurate and efficient banker. He has been identified with the banking interests of the state and is a successful business man. "Mr. Attmore is a native, of Pamlico county, and has been identified with the First National Bank, of New Bern. He is considered one of the best banking men in that section of the state." KIND WORDS FROM DR.

HARRIS Weaverville, N. C. October 28, 1919., our largest and most succes-f chants. He also conducted stores for a while at Clearwater lh and at Brevard. He was also associated at one time with his father and brothers in a store at Rosman, which grew into a very successful business enterprise.

At the time of his death, Mr. Glazener was only his two stores here, Glazener's department store, and Glazener's shoe storo he having closed out his branch stores some time ago. Mr. Glazener's business slogan was: "Glazener cuts the price and sells the goods." He carried this slogan in his advertising for several years, and sometimes, for brevity's sake, put it: "Bud cuts the price." There are few homes in this county where even the children did not know Mr. Glazener's slogan, because he put his advertising containing his slogan, often into the' homes of the people.

The deceased was a man of sociable turn and genial disposition. He was a man of strict integrity and splendid character, and in his death the community has lost a splendid citizen. And a review of a straight and upright career should be an inspiration. In its final analysis, however, each path of glory leads but to the grave. In it, "victor's wreathf and monarch's gems all blend in common dust." Character bunded by proper living, proper dealing and a proper sense of duty toward's ones fellow-man, is all of man which attends at his funeral and yet refuses to be buried with him.

It moves away and lives on an asset of priceless value to those who are left behind. The property left by the deceased may perchance become scattered as time goes on; his money may be lost, or stolen, but the silvery gleam of a correct, straight-and upright life, such as G. M. Glazener lived, reflects its sheen in every direction. And we close this sketch with a keen ap preciation of the loss which the death of our good friend and fellow-towns man has brought to this community.

"A wit's a feather, and a chief a rod, An honest man's the noblest work of God." Mr. Glazener is survived by his mother, Mrs. M. J. Glazener, of Ros man; and the following brothers and sisters: A.

Sixth We believe that this danger arises from several sources, namely: (a) German propaganda which is ever with us, albeit under a new guise each day; (b) Appeals to racial prejudice in political effort, which we unqualifiedly condemn as un-American and there-' fore dangerous; (c) Socialism, whether radical or otherwise (d) The presence of millions of illiterate foreigners, incapable of comprehending or appreciating either the principles or the blessings of Ameri can institutions, and forming a most ready and willing agency through which both German propaganda and Socialistic principles are disemniated (e) Weak-kneed or conscienceless politicians, who skillfully refrained i from offending the traitors amongst ur- during the war and are now striv-; in: with mi.yht and main to gather: th practical fruit oi their treason-1 ai.

Seventh We believe that the sal-1 vation of the nation demands that America shall be Americanized, let- ting the process hurt whom it may. that certain radical steps of recon struction must be immediately adopted: (a) Resident aliens of all nation alities who are incapable of approach ing the blessings of our institutions must be deported; (b) Foreign-born citizens who have proven their unfitnes for citizenship by either open disloyalty in word or deed, or by seditious inactivity in the times of war, must have the rights of citizenship withdrawn and they likewise must be deported; (c- German and all other modern foreign languages must be banished from all elementary schools and from public print and public speech alike, save where they are employed for the purpose of Americanizing foreignborn people not yet acquainted with the English language (d) All methods and plans for Americanizing our foreign-born population must be directed by Americans whose antecedents and environment have given them a clear concep- tion of the principles of American in- stitutions; ah (e) All migration must be im- mediately suspended for an indefinite period.

i Giles Monroe Glazener, familiarly known by his many friends throughout this and adjoining counties, as "Bud" Glazener, departed this life at the Patton Memorial hospital in this city, at 8 minutes past noon last Saturday. About a month ago Mr. Glazener became afflicted with a malignent carbuncle which came on the back of rhis neck at the base of the brain. Despite the efforts of physicians, this continued to grow worse, until it was decided that an operation wauld be necessary, the efficacy of which the doctors doubted because of a diabetica! trouble with which the deceased hart hpfn fflinttH fnr miitA, lnntr whilP The onprati on was nprfnTinpH and.tb-e patient seemed to rally and show signs of improvement for two or three days thereafter. This did not last, and another operation or two was performed as a last resort in the hope that the deceased might be restored to health.

His condition, however, continued to grow worse until theend came at the time above stated. Funeral services were conducted Sunday morning at the Methodist church here by Rev. E. E. Bomar, pastor of the Baptist church of this city, Rev.

Moores, the Methodist pastor, beiag absent at conference. The church was filled to its capacity with the friends of. the deceased of this city and vicinity, which attested the high esteem in which Mr. Glazener was held by the people among whom he had lived for the past twenty years. At the close of the church service members of the local Masonic lodge accompanied the body to the station and placed it on the train which carried it to Calyert in Transylvania county, where interment in Green ceased was born and raised, was made.

Members of Dun's Rock Ma sonic lodge at Brevard, of which the deceased was a member, assisted by about twenty members from Kedron lodge of this city, performed the Ma sonic, ritulistic ceremony at the grave. ine deceased-was 51 years of age. He was a son of Mrs. M. J.

Glazener and her later husband, who died a few months ago. He lived with his parents at the old home near Ros man until he reached his maioritv He then procured a position with a sewing machine company for whom he traveled, for several years in the upper part of South Carolina, and later in some of the western counties of this state.
