Thomas Williams Mason, of Northampton county, full of years, full of grace, full of everything ihai makes a genue man, a patriot, a scholar, a Chris iian. Recalling his long and use ful and unselfish life, it may be truly said ot him that he was a "sui.cro ncd" man "lived above the fog in public duty and private tninking." Gracious in manner, loving in disposition, without a iracc ut seltsecking, he had garner ed in himself a wealth of love and confidence and esteem. If he had one tauli n was thai he lacked the ambition to step into places tor which he was eminently fined, standing aside that friends more desirous of preferment should real ize iheir ambitions. But, while others held positions of mure proiiniiei ce, Captain Mason won graiuude and distinction for service in war and in peace. He entered the Confederate Army as a boy. All his life ihe Cause was dear io him, indeed sacred, and no man incarnated the spirit of Robert li. Lee more than Thomas W. Mason. Captain Mason served long as trustee of the l.'niversiiy of North Carolina, as member of ihe Siaie Democratic lixecutive Com mittee, often as delegate to great gatherings of the Meihodisl Church of which he was a devoted mem ber, several limes as member of boih branches of die General As sembly, as Railroad Commissioner and in other positions of trust and honor. Public position brought no distinction to him and he was not dependent upon official status. He conferred honor by public ser- The Siaie of North Carolina needs that a double portion of ihe spirit of that golden hearted gen tleman shall f ill upon it in ihe days ihai lie before us. He had the dignity and philosophy of Balfour, whom he resembled, and the sweetness and serenity which be fits one whose life has been "gen tle," the t'leiiU'iitu mi m.M'il in linn That niiiuit' iniL'lit sUiml up to ull tltf world Litul lv Thin wurt a man." VETERAN JLEADER DIES Capt. Thomas Williams Mason. Long One of North Carolina's Prominent Alen ON STAFF OF GENUAL RANSOM. vice and every honor given him came unsought. Integrity was of his fibre and love of country made up the warp and woof of his being. In 1895 he was the caucus nomi nee of his party for United Slates Senator. He looked ihe part, and it was a misfortune to the Staiethat a Fusionist secured the toga which seemed made for him. In lSUti. the year when Russell was elected, Captain Mason was the Democratic candidate for Lieuienant-Govern-or, and when Mr. Watson became ill his canvass of the Stale was bril liant and uplifting. Hew men have lived in the Slate who possessed such eloquence. At his best, for he had to feel deeply to reach the heighis, he spoke wiih a spin t and compelling eloquence which moved all privileged to sit under the spell of his utterance. Three speeches made by Captain Mason, recalled by this writer, stand out among the noblest deliv ered in North Carolina in a generation. The first was at the celebration of the Centennial of the Universi ty. A score of the Slate's first cit izens spoke. When Captain Ma son rose to speak the years fell from him and the inrush of mem ories and the passion of love for his alma maier so possessed him that as he spoke his audience fell a thrill such as only once in a life time sways an audience. It was elecincal and ihe cadence of his rich voice has not yet died away.i The second ett'ort, which will abide, for it was written, was his address at the laying ot ihe corner stone of the Confederate monu ment on the west front of the Cap itol Square in i 894. The love and devotion of the Daughters of the Confederacy had made possi ble its erection and there gathered a great concourse of people to wit ness the found ition of a memorial long desired. The theme and the man met. Mason was the young Confederate in heart thai day. He envisioned and glorified his com rades. Their deeds were immor tal. He made a fining eulogy, and as throngs left the grounds there was a deeper appreciation of the men in gray than youths had felt before. That masterpiece of eulo gy was alone enough to give dis tinction to one gifted to speak his comrades "fair in death " The third speech that lives in ihe mind of this writer was what was truly the most inspired speech heard in the Senate Chamber in iiaii a ceinuiy. tne temperance forces were fighiing for the initial measures which opened the door for the State and National emanci pation from the drink evil. The fate of important measures hung in the balance when Captain Ma son, State Senator, rose to speak near the close of the morning ses sion. Soon the galleries were thronged and the floor crowded, the House being deserted. Poets have sung of Home, but rarely, if ever, such a tribute for the home and the protection of youth fell From the lips of man. Certainly no one who heard it can ever for get that the Senate Chamber seem ed transformed into a sanctuary and when he ended the cause for which he had spoken was triumphant.

Captain Mason graduated from the 1'niversitv of North Carolina and siudied law at the I 'diversity of Virginia. In I SS? he was elect ed to his first term in the State Senate and was a member from 1891 io 195 of the North Caro una Kailroad Commission, upon the formation of that body. In 1895 Captain Mason was the nominee of the Democrjiic party for ihe United States Senate, being defeated in the election by former Senator Marion Butler. In IrWti he was also the candidate of his pany for Lieutenant-Governor on the ticket with Cyrus Watson, of Winston-Salem. liven in his latter years Captain Mason iwas actively interested in public affairs and in 1915 he rep- resented his county for the fifth and last time in the General As sembly, sitting in the House beside his grandson, Senator William L Long, ot tialilax, president pro tempore of 1921 Senate. Although then in feeble health, Captain Ma son was deeply stirred by the cause of his country in the war with Germany and was a leader in his county in all patriotic movements Captain Mason was born brunswick county, a., but re moved to Northampton county shortly after his marriage, when young man to Miss Betne Gray, daughter of Major William Gray, of Northampton county. He is survived by iwo daughiers, Mrs. L. M. Long and Miss Ruih Mason, and the following grandchildren: Senator W. L. Long, Dr. T. W.M. Long and Mrs F. G. Jarman, all of Roanoke Bapids, and W. J.

ICE PRICES Effective April 1, 1921. TO OCR CUSTGMLRS: It is our desire to give to the public as much reduction in the price of Ice this year as is possible, and in so doing we have effected a plan whereby it will prov e to your good as well as ours. Beginning April 1st, we will place on sale Ice Tickets at 60c. per hundred, these pekets will be sold for cash only. By purchasing tickets you will find it an advantage in several ways. It will have a tendency to make the drivers give you as near as possible the amount of Ice asked for. You will also have the correct change at all times which expedite ihe transaction and thereby allow the driver to get to the next customer sooner, which w ill be a great help to us as well help us keep a correct check against our Ice at all limes. t o our coiiiineiciai iraue we win sen to tnose wno will purctiase as ten (10) block tickets and pay for same on delivery at $1.60 per block, or hall block tickets at 90c. per half block. w e wisn an to unuersiana mat tne purpose ol this reduction is to make an inducement for our patrons to purchase tickets which will be sold for CASH ONLY, and those who do not supply themselves with tickets the following prices will prevail: 111 l'UUIKltt let' Mi ar in 4.'. m i Inc. 1..C 1110 j:ic -7c :tiic :iic :;so tin l'uuuds toe li 1IKI 1 .'." 1,-i ' or half block 1 or 1 block 4,.c SUB title use 1:e H'tC ll.lKi 1.7fi Franklin K. Lane, former Secre tary of the Interior under Presi dent Wilson, recently said: "If the 5,500,000 illiterates ,in the United States were stretched in a double line at intervals of three fe.:t, and were to march past the White House at the rate of iwenty Rve miles a day, it would require more than two months for them to pass." The curse of our fair land is ig norance and illiteracy, but a better day is dawning; both Church and State are beginning to realize that America's salvation lies in educa ting tne masses, tvery biate in the Union is giving largely for ed ucational purposes, and all honor to the Southern Slates especially which are making heroic efforts to reach the neglected and uneduca ted. Coupled with what the States are doing is the work of the South ern Methodists, Southern Baptists, Southern Presbyterians, Episco palians and other reljgious bodies who are untiring in their efforts to provide better equipment and bet. ter facilities for young men and women who are being urged as never before to lake advantage o the opportunities made possible by the liberality of laymen of all denominations. From the above prices you will see that it is to your advantage to purchase tickets, which we feel sure you will find to be very conveni ent in making change and much more satisfactory in every respect. It is our desire that our customets get every pound of Ice paid for, and that they have as good service as the prevailing circumstances will permit and if there is any complaint we would appreciate same if you would call our office and report same, in order that we may correct it.

' An eight-year-old was having her firt party. Before the guests assembled the mother gave her a long talk on the duties of a hosiesss and told her to be sure that every one was served with all the re freshments. But among the guests was one little miss who was very shy. She didn't play any of the games, she didn't converse, and when the ice cream was brought forward refused o take any. Then the little hostess cyne over to her, "You must eat some," she insis ted, offering her another saucer of cream. . The little visitor shook her head "I don't want any." she persisted "But you must eat it," the hos tess insisted. "You must eat it even it you nave to throw it up Program 1.
