When he asked tome, other tenants of the building who the deceased was he was, told that she lived somewhere in the build ing, but they didin't know who she was, whereupon Judge Henry exploded, probably with some profanity, and stated that he was going back home, where peo ple were interested enough " in their neighbors to know whether they lived or died.

Colonel ALEXANDER DICKSON, ion of Colonel John Dickson, was a large property owner, churoh leader and phil anthropist. At times he served as a member of the County Court but was never politically conspicuous. In his Will, on record in Duplin County, he gave practically all of his large estate ffor : "the use of a free school or schools for the benefit of the poor" , .which bequest has from that time been known as the DICKSON CHARITY FUND and is still in existence. Years ago, it is said, the account was carelessly handled by the County authorities " and therefore the amount greatly diminished and has never di-, rectly served the purpose intended by Colonel Bickson. Baring , recent years it has been carefully and efficiently managed and its use is now intended for educational purposes only. Colonel Dickson's wife was Elizabeth Molten and they had no children. His tomb in the old Kentledge cemetery aear rX-iK ansville bears the following inscription: "OLD HULL, the dead he yet liveth, ALEXANDER DICKSON, The Philanthropist, died " March 22, A. D. 1814, aged 68 years, Benevolence was the crown ing principle of the deceased during his whole life. While he, wea r a friend to man generally,: and to the Church (of which, he waa w a consistent and worthy member), he was. especially a friend , s to the poor. This friendship lut mentioned was clearly maaif est-! 5 ed by his last Will when he bequeathed most of his large estate to educate the poor children of his County.
