A two-story annex between the pres ent. courthouse and the jail is pro posed, with provisions for increased vault space for the clerk of the supe rior court and the register of deeds, and facilities for the recorder’s court. Accommodations for other county of ficers will also be included in the build ing. Members of the board yesterday said that plans have not vet been suffi ciently developed to warrant an esti mate of the possible cost of the struc ture. The New Hanover courthouse has been greatly outgrown by^the business handled in recent years, and in several departments, particularly those of the clerk and register, relief is imperative. Room for the recorder’s court is an other necessity that has made itself felt in recent months, especially in in clement weather. The only space available for the re corder now is the main court room, which, of course, must he vacated tvhen superior court is in session. When superior court convenes, the re corder is forced to adjourn to the basement annex, but the congested condition of this room makes this also a matter of considerable inconven ience to court and witnesses. As tlie bill readjusting; the judicial districts of the state now seems likely to pass both houses of the general as sembly, the needj/or a recorder's court room will be accentuated. The commissioners will probably take action on the proposed building at an early date. MANY IMPROVEMNTS TO MASONIC TEMPLE TO BE STARTED SOON Rooms Will Be Re-arranged and Made More Convenient for Lodge Uses. Plans have been prepared and con tracts are now being let for extensive] improvements to the Masonic temple,] the interior of which lias for many years been inadequately arranged to suit the purposes for which is is used. Several thousand dollars will be ex- j pended in the work] Although a considerable portion of j the money to be spent will be used for improvements on the second and third { floors, the majority is to he invested ] in the arrangefndnt of the foudth floor by their affiliated organizations. It has been stated by an official of one of the lodges that the Masonic j membership in this city hftjl expanded : so greatly during the past few years i that the central lodge room on the fourth floor of the temple has become too small to be conveniently used. Not only wjl] a considerable amount | of the money be used for the changing I of rooms, but much money will be spent in the purchase of curtails used in the lodge room, also for extensive- j ly beautifying it in order that it may, . when completed, b'e one of the most beautiful lodge rooms in the state of North Carolina. Charles B. Newcomb, prominent Ma son of this city, has the contemplated improvements in his charge and is be ing aided in the work of letting the contracts by a committee. It is under stood that the last contract is to be awarded in the near future and that the actual work will be started im mediately thereafter and completed as soon as possible. Dr. John B. LeGwin Dies At Hospital Dr. John B. LeGwin, prominent phy sician. died at the James Walker Me morial hospital last night at 11:30. following a lingering illness, which be came acute three weeks ago. He was 39 years old and a graduate of the Uni versity of North Carolina and Tulane university. Funeral services have not been ar ranged. Surviving: are his widow, nee Miss Mary McCullen; parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. M. LeGwin: two children. John and Mary: throe sisters. Mrs. Blake D. Ap plewhite. Mrs. Douglas Prevatte and Miss Emmie Belle LeGwin, and one brother, James LeGwin. Dr. LeGwin has been in failing health since his discharge from the army, in which he served during the war as a medical officer. A trial will undeceive those who think they will need a bucket to carry their winnings away from a bucket shop—American Banker. the officials, Messrs. Windle and Rice were appointed to canvass their em ployes. The committee is confident that a sum close to $60,000 will be subscribed. Daily meetings of the workers will be held at 1:15 o'clock at the Boys’ Brigade building each day of this week, commencing Monday, when re ports will be given by each team and division of the subscriptions which they have secured up to that time, if The chairman announces that it 'is of the utm,ost importance, not onlv to these eight agencies, i. e.. Salvation Army, Travelers’ Aid, Y. M. C. A., Com munity Servicp. Boy Scouts, Y. W. C. A.. C. Kennedy Home and Girl Scouts, but for the welfare of Wilmington as a whole that the campaign shall be a success. TURN HAIR DARK WITH SAGE TEA If Mixed With Sulphur It Dark ens So Naturally NoboMy Can Tell. The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmoth er’s recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are liv ing in an ace when a youthful appear ance is of the greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mutisy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod uct, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound.’’ It Is very popu lar because nobody can discover it has been applied. . Simply- moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what de lights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applications, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abund ance wljich is so attractive.—adv. Dr. George Alex. Graham Dr. George Alexander Graham, after a lingering Illness of three years, which for the last two confined him of February 1, leaving: a childless widow, Mrs. Cora James Graham, and the following sisters: Mrs. Mary Stev ens. of Council Station, and Mrs. Janie Russ, of Wilmington. Dr. Graham was born February 28, 1852. Dr. and Mrs. Graham were mar ried January A, 1877, having lived to gether 46 years. Mrs. Graham was a Miss Cromartie, and a native of Bla den county. Elizabethtown has the unique -honor of sending- out to the four ways of earth men of distinction in many worthy callings, and of giving as much to her sister towns as she receives, not only in wealth, but in aims and ideals espoused by noble citizenry. Chief among her laurels is the birth of this highly esteemed physician. Dr. Graham, over three score and ten years ago; most conspicuous among her mile stones of pride and promise is that the very dwelling whose windows let In the beautiful sunshine on the new born babe of Dr. Xeill Graham and the happy young- mother of little George Alexander, is still standing there with its windows staring out across the pretty lawn, as if in sad silence re calling the happy by-gone days which are now history. The old home in Eliz abethtown. where lullabys rang out through ibed-room and hall, and the merry prattle of little George first gladdened the innermost souls of two hopeful and ambitious parents! When yet he was but a mere tot with his first pantaloons and bare, brown legs and tanned cheeks, Dr. Neill Gra ham moved away to the old Whitehall community about 11 miles from Eliza bethtown. on the Cape Fear river. Amid the picturesque surroundings of this new habitation the noble man that was to be. the skillful physician that later would administer to tlie suffering for half a century, the modest* man of unrivaled integrity and texture of mind, grew up in close communion with the designer of all lovely things, the God who planned and beautified the fiercely fascinating out-doors. Fashioned after the song of the brown thrush in the green and blossoming hedge, trained up in sight of the won ders of the blue sky, the stars of the calm night, and the brilliant noonday of honest pursuits of happiness, he never departed from them, but grew greater in the estimation of his closest acquaintance, and taller in the stature of godliness among his most intimate friends. Ideals vied with each other in obtaining a choice seat in his ex pansive soul, and others stood in the crowded gallery of his busy everyday life, impatiently waiting their turn 1o be admitted into the threshold of his splendid career. Toughened to the point of suffering, facing the obstacles of half a century ago which loomed large in the path way of most youths in the rural south land. and particularly of those of the eastern counties of the Carolinas, he learned early not to be a rash experi menter. Yet withal, a greater lesson to him, that all struggles in this life are but transitory, and mere stepping stories to permanent success to him who grips the present without fear and gazes upward with unwavering faith' in the Maker of Destinies. A truer proof of the inevitable hold environment has upon the plastic and malleable ingredients of character, and that buries itself wholesale within the confines of childhood, never to be upstirred or forgotten, whether it he for good or evil, is in the choice of professions Dr. George A. Graham set the heroic example of a country physician; little son George patterned after him, seeing that much suffering coUld be alleviated and perhaps lives spared a little longer lease on their tenements of clay. In fjact, he picked up the battle line where his dear old father fell, and from 1878 he fought disease and ignorance with a Trojan's arm and a martyr's zeal. Not many el derly mothers in Bladen, not many middle-aged ones in Hoke,, not many grc(wn-ups in the former, nbr' many in their teens in the latter, will read this story of their old friend without a tiny tear of sorrow or a hot lradn in the heart. Not many but will ask them selves, "Who is my friend, anyway? The man I see every day and pass and repass without knowing? Or the man who sacrificed fame, the man who spent sleepless nights, risked his health through cold and inclement weather, and who denied himself the dollar to relieve me of my misery, the country physician, tne man whose grauuai cru-1 ciflxion on a cross of unselfish ser vice;was;in part executed by me in my hour or sore need?” And when he an- J swers this question it will not be in the blinking of an eye. It will bo answered by an imaginary picture of a worn-out, gray-haired, anxious-eyed, country physician leaning over a sick . bab in.a weeping- mother’s arms. Having attended the local schools and the Clinton high school, and hav ing taken his first year in medicine at Lousville, Ky., he completed his medi-: cal education at the medical college of the University of New York, gradu ating there in 1875, and thereafter be- | gan his practice at Cedar Creek in Cumberland county, where he remained, three years. After this he returned to 1 Whitehall, in Bladen, and practiced until 1900, at which time he came to Raeford, in Hoke county. Dr. Graham’s father was a cousin of -the late Edward Kidder Graham, president of the state university, and Prof. Alex. Graham, of Charlotte, an l of Miss Mary Graham, also a distin guished instructress. With a line of noble ancestry dating back to James; Graham. Marquis of Montrose, Dr.! George A. Graliam could scarcely es-1 cape the field of promise that welcomed ; *his‘talent, nor divorce himself from the hereditary leanings toward a faithful j devotion to an exacting and exhaus- ] tive profession, He had no time to de vote to outside activities, but his ar- ; dent admirers in Bladen county, as if to ride his willingness to serve to ex cess. made him serve several terms as a member of the county board of commissioners, and those in Hoke county put him in the front line when they fought for the new county. He and Hon. J. Worthy Johnson and the j late Judge Womack gave the new] county they championed the name of j Hoke, which It now bears. i In the passing 'of this distinguished! man his nearest relatives do not mourn j alone. In their loss the entire state, shares, for no worthy individual can come and serve the world and leave it without making his absence felt. A j life-long Presbyterian, a staunch advo- i cate of slightly modified Puritan code1 of morals, and a liberal giver to ^all charitable causes, will be born to the grave, will return to the dust from whence it came, in the last funeral rites conducted at his church in Rae ford today. Teachers Here Set Approval on Proposals Improvement Work Planned Is Commended. Rural teachers of New Hanover county yesterday almost unanimously indorsed the question contained in the questionnaire recently sent out for referendum by the North Educational society. The questions deal mainly with co operative and improvement work along educational lines. City teachers will pass on the same questions Monday.
