PAGE NINE 1 TENNESSEE CHIEF EXECUTIVE DIES Cerebral Hemorrhage Conquers Aus tin Peay. First Man In 100 Years To Head State Three Times. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 2.—Governor Austin Peay, chief executive of Ten nessee since 1923, died at his home here at 8:05 p. m. * The 51-year-old executive, the first governor in 100 years to attain Ihe office the third time in succession, succumbed from the effect of a cere bral hemorrhage which he suffered just before 5 o’clock this afternoon. Senator Henry Horton, speaker of the state senate, and next in line of succession to the gubernatorial office, was on his way to Nashville from his home in Marshall. He was among the first notified When the governor’s death occurred. Sunday evening, shortly after the hemorrhage attack, a bulletin was giv en out by attending physicians that the governor was dead. A few min utes later, however, a slight heart ac tion was detected and a later bulletin announced that death was but a mat ter of a brief period and that the gov ernor "was sinking” rapidly. Mrs. Pedy, the only person in the room with the governor at the time of his fatal attack and the only immedi ate member of his family in the city at the time, was the first to give< the alarm. She was prostrated tonight. Their abn, Austin, Jr., is in Europe Nearly two years ago friends be- icame alarmed over the governor’s | health and he was strongly advised not to become a candidate for a third . term. The hot sun and constant speak ing, however, appeared effective in the reduction of his blood pressure, and after his customary salt water fishing trip on the Mississippi coa&t he returned in the pink of condition. 1 Many believe that Gov. Pea£ wasl a martyr to his work for the Great Smoky Mountain National park, for which he made a trip to Washington and planned incessantly. It was on this trip in February that he was stricken with a severe cold. He developed influenza in a short time and then pneumonia set in. At one time then, just as during the wait at the bedside tonight, word was sent out that Gov. Peay had succumbed to a heart attack. As today, he breathed again. Governor Peay never spoke after the initial attack, which came as he lay in his room, taking an afternoon nap after a meal at which he was "ev ery bit himself,” according to ser vants. His ^groans and heavy breathing suddenly attracted Mrs. Peay’s atten- I tion. She hurriedly summoned -aid, and Dr. Frank Fessey, who attended Governor Peay during his first seri ous illness, and who had been in con stant supervision over him since, was among the first to reach the mansion. Only a few weeks ago Governor Peay, taking cognizance of published stories that he was seeking the vice- presidential nomination on a "Smith and Peay” ticket, announced retire ment from politics during the next two years, at least. He made it plain, however, that he was not “retiring permanently.” He said definitely on that occasion that he would not run for the United States Senate under any considera tion. He had promised voters during his last campaign he would not aspire to a Senator’s position from the gu bernatorial chair.

C. - ✓ • *—»• iU 1 • / Nashville, Oct.. 6.—This city had planned Tuesday as a day of merry making, but prepared for solemn rites instead. Nashville and all Tennesee began Tuesday morning to pay their formal respects to the memory of Cover Aus tin Peay, whose death Sunday night shocked the state into grief and caus ed his successor, Gov. Henry H. Hor ton, to decree a two-day period of pub lic mourning as his first official act. Gaily colored bunting changed to sombre crepe and full-flown flags dropped to half-mast, for the city’s sorrow caused cancellation of a fly ing visit Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh was to have paid. Instead of the triumphant parade of a viking of the skies, a sad cortege wound its way from the executive mansion Tuesday following the body of Governor Peay to the capitol where flanked with a double guard of honor from the Tennessee National guard, it lay in state from 9 o’clock in the morning until 4 in the afternoon, when funeral exercises were held. There was a martial air to tlte pro cession when it reached the war me morial building, just adjacent to the capitol, where it made its course through a file of honor—standing at "present arms” until the casket had passed through the column. All business of the state cable to a standstill Tuesday as the decreed pe riod of mourning began. Governor Horton made one semi-official gesture before signing the proclamation that decreed the two days of mourning— that of signing his name on the fly leaf of the Gideon -Bible which was used in administering his oath of of fice. His next act was to issue the proclamation and it was given out shortly after the simple ceremonies that inducted him into office Monday, giving him actual leadership of the state’s affairs instead of the ex-officio capacity that automatically became him shortly after 8 o’clock Sunday night, when Gov. Peay’s death was announced. t When state ceremonies had been completed at the capital Tuesday the body was again removed to the man sion whence it was taken to Clarks ville, Tenn., the Peay family home, for burial. A special train bearing the body and, the funeral party left here for Clarksville at 9 o’clock yes terday morning. When the funeral party reached Clarksville, the body was conveyed to the First Baptist church where ser vices were held at 2 o’clock, conducted by Dr. Ryland Knight of St. Louis, former pastor of Immanuel Baptist church of Nashville, and Dr. W. F. Powell, pastor of the First Baptist church of Nashville. Miss Lucy Speers ‘Tortraiture” Located in Newberry with telephone number 328, at 945 Main street, is this studio of high class photography. The days of the renaissance marks the beginning of modern art and in the various branches it has progressed j to a marked degree. De Guerre ob- ! tained his inspiration for the inven tion of photography from the works of masters of their period and at once combined art and mechanical science. Miss Speers is a deep student and admirer of the artists of all the va rious periods and keeps thoroughly I abreast of the times in the rapid de velopment of photography. She has equipped her studio from time to time ; to keep pace with the rapid changes of the age of mechanics, but in all the work can be traced the eye of the ar tist and the careful touch that sets this! photography off and makes it in dividual and different from that of the photographer who depends upon the camera alone. She features a complete service in portraits. Here in this studio can be seen many photographs of the leading well known residents of the county as well as the brides of the season, the graduates, the children, the reunion pictures and in fact everything from the simplest picture to the highest. In the artistic production of chil dren’s pictures, they have gained well merited commendation. In the matter of making out-door views and family groups they have ably demonstrated true ability on many occasions. It is incumbent upon every man, woman-and drHil to nave photographs of themselves at the various* ages so that the photographic record of the family can be maintained. In making this review we are glad Lo compliment Miss Speers upon her success in the art circles of this part of the state and to refer this/ studid -O all the people of thiA^comn^unity.
