' who passed from us last week, was : held in the Forest Uill Methodist ehurch Wednesday evening. The ser vice wns . in charge of Rev. W. L. Uutchins, pastor of the church. - After the cWJir tapg "Nearer My Orwl t Thte." Mr. Hutchins an nounced that Bishop Kilgo would de liver the memorial address. . .. Bishop Kilgo V address was" rc- raarkable study of the remarkable man about whom he spoke. He spoke of the man himself, his- life in the home, And of him as a citizen. Bishop Bishop Kilgo said in part: . ; It was very great grief and dis- apointment to me that I could -not ' join you a few days ago in the very solemn service that you came here to ' perform for your fellowman your churchman and friend. Not that I could have bright ny light or spo " ken any word of worth save that I could have bowed my head as heads ' . were bowed and pay tribute to the . ' death of a man who had lived life every : way worthy, a life of service. I do not hope this evening to give you 1 any new revelation of this good man ' or to add to the . clear, powerf ul; strong words spoken by my brother on'whose shoulders fell the hard task - of speaking of him. I felt it a great privilege when I was given an oppor- tunity of coming to Concord, coming ; into his church, and paying my tribute . to .him.:..'':.':"'',,!v;',.'-:::;'";'- "'..v-A ''7'",v. nly .belonging, to that generation of men whom havef had the occasion r more trafi. once to' call' the world's ' great men, living in one of the most ' trying times of the world's history, . especially that section of the great A country to which he belonged, there something peculiar in the cast of "mind, in the character, in the force of personality of this man. -' . ; V ; His. forefathers were rugged men, ' bora for the forest, who loved the storm and challenged the worst obsta V Vcles. - At the same time they wera quiet and dignified. The like of them ' "will not.be seen again. 'Capt.;Odeir life falls into three 'i spheres of study, namely : Second The Man in tne Home. - Third The Man as a Citizen. First, His was a strong manhood, i The tone of his life was that of a ' truth finder... He was ' not a radical revolutionist or an obstructionist. He was conservative in a high and brave sense. Ho "was ready always tojpro ; test against wrong, because" it was i wrong. , (Holding himself in fine inde pendence of mind, he was a fine illus- tration of the right , kind of truth finding. He was always a safe eoun-, : sellor and a wise guide. He Jiad a - political,: social an religious creed, and he was not ashamed of them. . No man ever asked how (he stood on any question of morals. He was distinctly . a Christian gentleman,: and the only complete and perfect gentleman is the .Christian, gentleman. He held him self the servant of any who were so fortunate as to - be his guests, be stowing upon them every comfort and : courtesy. , ' . " " Second. He was a - great home man.' There was always an ever flow- ' ing stream of true chivalry coming from his life- He loved his home with ' a profound depth of genuine love, such as only a great soul like his was ca pable of. - Bishop Kilgo spoke .heau , tifully and feelingly of his life in his home, of his beautiful devotion as a '.husband and a father. - Third. :He was a great citizen, one of the South .'s greatest philanthrop v,ists. Part of his history is unknown ' and unpublished. Many" areNtoday adorning homes and society who .owe 1 their positions to his generosity and " kindness. His heart was with man kind.' He believed in his fellowman. -' No condition" could make him ,indif , fesent to the welfare, of his fellow " man. He was a philanthropist in all that goes to make up that term. In all his business dealings he illustra ted an integrity that was marked. He - knew nothing about the modern tricks v-of trade, and never took risks that ' ' were not iwarranted by his good iudg- ment. v" v , . , There is a law that will not allow a particle of a good man's influence Jto be destroyed. I count it my richest privilege tot.have come under the in fiuence of his life, and, within the cir- ' cle of his friendship- His end was an appropriate end. May we, like him, do our day's work, and may our ': life have such an end as his. Bishop Kilgo spoke without motes. "We regret that he did not have a ' prepared address so that we could present it entire to our readers. v Of course the above is a mere mention of the phases of Capt. OdeU's life pn which, he touched, and do not even convey a conception of the masterful character Btudy. , .;v ; , The Charleston News and Courier's i 1 i of a happy oann is the fellow who i i l'A the cigars he wants and gets iia t 1 1 rater free.

Hickory Democrat.'. " It is a surprising statement bat the Democrat learns on good author ity that more than $100,000 a year goer out from Hickory and the sec tions which mails its letters at the post office there, for mail orders. ' Sears, Roebuck ft Co, Jfteld In Unl- eago and Wannamaker, perhaps get the bulk of this money. -. This amount would contribute quite a good deal toward the general pros perity. The community ought to stand together. A man who makes his living off the community ought to trade with the people who support him. l et we have heard of instances, within recent days, where people, .who had business in town, sent orders to distant cities for commodities they could just as easily have secured here. We know that Wanamaker's cata logue is very alluring literature to the good women, and yet we believe they could get nearly everything they want from local dry goods houses. If it is not in stock surely the local men would order it, and be glad to do so. We know that more "money is paid in some instances for the mail order goods than would be paid at home. There is a sort of fascination in opening a package which . comes through the mails or in unpacking a box winch comes by - express or freight. It is a trait of human na ture this joy of untying things. But it hurts a town. - One way to stop this drain of home money to distant places is intelligent persistent advertising in the local papers. But the very fact of this failure to support home institutions discourages a xnerchant,and he doesn't advertise with the heart and vim he would like to use, and the lack of ad vertising discourages the newspaper man, and he does. not run his paper with the enthusiasm he ought to have and so there is a depression and fail ure in the city to make it what it should be. Tradinsr af. honut is one thin? which has made Charlotte and Atlanta great and rich. Trading away from Hick ory and Newton is one thing which is keeping two of the finest towns in the State .out of what is coming to Lets 'a pull together I ' A Little Misunderstanding. New York World. They have mystery at Washington which nobody can solve. For more than ten years there has been a fran tic demand for the organization of postal savings banks. It looked as though the country had risen as one man. Congress at last yielded, and now that the law is in force nobody seems to want a postal savings bank. There is a growing suspicion that the enterprise is destined to failure. Men who govern should know some thing about ' government. What is wanted in this country is postal sav ings banks with all modern conveni ences. They must be brought to our doors. Uniformed agents come in and get our money, giving a receipt, there for. To be strictly up to date, these employes should have a cigar for the head of the family and a few little kickstraws for the women and chil dren.' There might be some trading stamps. No postal savings bank can hope to satisfy the cravings of the people unless it does business in an enlightened way. ; v ,r J . It is a strange idea of public senti ment which finds a mystery in this situation; The people want the banks as keenly as ever but they rant the office-holders at Washington to de liver them. What is government fort Cotton Takes Big Jump in New TorK. At the opening of the New York cot ton market Wednesday Frank ; C. Havne. one of the New Orleans bull leaders, bid 15.30 for 50,000 bales of July and then 15.35 for 25,000 bales, This started a rush of covering by be lated shorts and inside of the first half hour July cotton had sold at 16.10 or 73 points above the closing figures of Tuesday night.. The aborts found very little cotton for sale and are estimated to have secured . less than 1,000 bales on the advance. - Thitv Ponlf i mo uainv Which has made . marked : gains in ite earnings . and resources since its organ- 1879 indicating its increased ' Stvind .

' Several times have w 1!J mtUti tion to the fact that the speed laws ui toe cuj ana ouie are Demg openly violated br automnbiliafa .twt have expressed the fear that reck less unvmg win result in disaster for some unfortunate on the streets of Durham. We venture the ascertain that there is not an automobUist in the eity of Durham-wha 1om every speed-law on the statute books every tune tuscaactune leaves the garage. The police department seems to be apathetic and no attempt is made to check speeding. A few days ago, two machines, a big red tourim? car and a email about, raced each other madly down ungum sireei. ineir speed could not have been less than thirty miles an , hour. Other similar incidents have been called to our attention and once more we wish to urge the automobili8ts of Durham to exercise more care. Durham's streets, are narrow. Many of them are not well lighted and reckless driving might easily result in murder. , This disregard of th onooA lum of the state is not confined to Dur ham. A few - v " y 4VU MM one of the Greensboro papers of one Chamblee, who, in his automobile. out-ran one of the Southern's fast trains from Thomasville to Greens boro.'

BEST OP KEGRO vrLnrrr Mrs. Charles 0. Craig Sagaged for the Cast of "The Sins ' of the ' Father." ; ';' - " " A notable, addition to the east of Thomas Dixon's latest play, "The Sins of thee Father" has been made in the engagement of Mrs. Charles C Craig who will portray the role of the negro mammy. Mrs Craig for many years past has. been recognised as the most skillful delineator of "Mammy" parts in the country. When David Belasco presented his "Warrens of Virginia" a couple of seasons ago he selected Mrs. Craig to impersonate the Mammy role and her success during the long ran of the play in New York is a matter of stage history. So great was the hit she achieved that Mr. Belasco placed her under contract for a long term of yearn , -. ,,. ,'-, ,A few weka ego when Mr.J Dixcto had completed his "The Sins of the Father" he made a personal request to Mr, Belaseo to release Mrs. Craig in . order that she might appear in the new production and Mr. Belasco kindly consented. Her role in "The Sins of the Father" is said to afford her exceptional opportunities for the display or her unctions qualities as a comedienne. Incidentally, her laugh is claimed to be the most in fections on the stage. No audience, it is said, can refrain from joining in it. ; - ' '. - , Mrs. Craig who is one of &h JiiVh. est salaried women, in the profession is reported to have amassed a for tune by her own individual efforts second only to May Irwin 'a.
