VOL. X. NO. 43 V » t f MISS ELLA GRIST STATON After Mdnths of Suffering Succumbs to Disease-- A Deservedly Popular Young Woman-Frienfds Throughout the State Filled With Grief-In terment Sunday After noon. The death of Ella Grist Staton at seven o'clock on Saturday morning, July ibth., removed from Williamston one of its most" popu lar voung women. She was the youugest child of Adrian and Ella Grist Stat6n, and -was born in Washington, N. C., on Tanuary ioth. 1885. At the age of six months she was bereft of her mother, and was taken by her aunt. Mrs. Theodore Poole, who resided with her mother, Mrs. Louisa Yates, at '"Ktlvin Grcu-e Farm." two miles South of Williamston. There she grew to womanhood, tended carefully after the death ot her aunt and' grandmother, by her cousin, Miss Louallie , Poole and her brother, James G. Staton. Dtiring the latter part of the past year, her health failed and she was carried to John Hopkins Hos pital. Specialists there decided that she had a heart affection for which there was 110 remedy, the disease being produced by a ner vous trouble of earlier years. For months she had kept her^d, carefully tended, and bright and hopeful when conversing with friends, yet feeling oftentimes thai the end .might come. Careful in h«r affaiis while in health, she ar ranged detail should death claim her. Several months ago, she was baptized by Rev. \V. J. Gordon, and expressed a strong desire to be able to help some day in the work of the Church. But rest came instead, for after days of total unconsciousness, the soul left the tired, emaciated frame and returned from whence it came. If "to live in hearts we leave be hind is not to die." then hers was not death but mere transition. Of a warm, generous nature, she made friends easily and held them to the end. A democracy of spirit broke down all barriers, and to all she was cordial and kind. The mem ory of her happy laughter will ling er long in the hearts of the many who knew her. Sunday afternoon at five o'clock the funeral sorvices were conduct ed from the residence of her brother James G. Staton, by Rev. W. J. Gordon. A large number of friends and acquaintances followed the flower-laden casket to the Bap tist Cemetery, where the interment took place beside the grave of her sister, Mrs. Charles H. Godwin. At the close of the services, a num ber of voices joined in singing "My faith looks up to Thee," and "Abide Many beauti ful floral designs had been sent by loving friends and relatives, and the "stars Jbi earth" that the de«d loved so well in life covered the mound beneath which she re posed, Pall bearers were: John D. Simpson, Charles H. Godwin, Kadef B. Crawford, J. H'. Saun ders, J. S. Rodes and J. Paul Simpson. . Board Meets The mid-July meeting of the Board of County Commissioners , was held here Monday. The taK Jisters the different townships braught their lists and had them accepted by the Board. Some other minor matters were attended to aad the Board adjourned. Subscribe to Thb EntkrfxiisE.

Stand on Platform I When a man is nominated to an office 011 a special platform he I ought to be certain that he can | stand there before accepting the I nomination. It he finds at any j time during his term of office that : lie cannot stick to the platform or | principles of his party, let him be democrat or republican, he ought to have the manhood to resign. The Maxtou Scottish Chief puts it this way: "A Democrat should represent his partv at all times and in all places. He has no more right to repudiate the platform promises because he was elected by the Legislature instead of a direct vote of all the people, as ft is some limes claimed for recalcitrant sen ators in argument, than a Metho dist preacher has to lead the ger man when at a summer resort, be- / cause he was not sent there by his Conference."
