Reed there passes from the stage of action the country's most unique character and one who played his part will fur the section of country tbat be npre sented. When he came to the speaker's chair in the National House of Representatives be erasi d from tbe scroll of precedent and practice the rights of the minority and became the autocrat of tbat booy. His action made liim tbe mest unpopular presiding officer that ever sat in the chair and as long as he occupied tbe chair he had little of tbat roped of the minority tbat o htr speakers of tbe same political faith had. He re mained the popular idol of his party during this petiod from the fiet that the result? accomplished by bis rulings worked to tbe inter est of tbe party in influential loca ties. Mr. Reed's ability was never questioned even by bis enemies. He was a strong ehaiiKt'r, immovable under opposition aud carried his point against strong opposition He was as cold in his political nature as the section of country from which lie hailed, and he never once in his caret r gave evidence ol a friendly feeling for the So'ith. This was tbe one weak spot in the make up of this great mau -be was a great man and this was iu the face of many illustrious examples all around him that be might have followed. Maybe be could not help it. Wheu be quit the Holism he became the attorney for soire f the larger corporations of tbe country and made h s home in New York As a lawyer, he was a succiss Probably Tha Na Spsiksr. It is generally coucid.d that Hon. S M Gattis of Orange, will be the next Speaker of the House. It is needless to say tha' he will make a splendid presiding officer. His thorough knowledge of Parliamentary law gained by service in three consecutive ses sions cf the L"ts'a'ure wil! emi nently qualify bun for this posi tion. He ws a candidate two years ago, bu graciously withdrew in favor of tbe Hon. Walter H. Moore, of Jackson county Speak er Moore realizing the uecessity ol a strong man at the bead of tht Finance Committee, named Mr. Gattis as its chairman. This Com mittee under his guidance had tbe most difficult task to accomplish tbat was ever imposed upon a Fi- nince Committee, namely: To raise revenue to meet the increased appropriations to educational and charitable institutions, as well as the pension fund. Mr. Gattis was born In Oraugi county within four miles of the University of North Carolina. Ht walked from his home to that institution daily lor four years, graduated with honor to himsel1 and his Alma Mater. After graduation, be read law, and later served as clerk of the Superior Court of Orange county. He has bten chairman of the County Ex ecutive Committee of Orange for fifteen years, was a member of tbe State Executive Committee for several years. He was, until recent ly. Director of the Normal & In ductrial College, of Greensboro, N. C, and has held many other posi tions of honor. All who know Mr Gattis recognize him as a man of ability, progressive, yet conserva tive. With Mr Gattis as Speaker, the coming session of tbe Legislature ought to be able to accomplish very much for the good of this State. We wish him success. . RICO't BODY TAKEN HOME. Washington. Dec. 7. The re mains of Hon. Thomas Brackett Reed, formerly Speaker of the House of Representatives, wb died last night, left here this af ternoon for Portland, Maine, hit- former home, where the Interment will take place on Tuesday after noon Tbey were placed aboard a special train leaving Washington at 4:50 o'clock, scheduled to arrive at Portland to-morrow. Accom panying tbe body were Mrs. Reed, tbe widow; Miss Catherine Reed, tbe former Speaker's daughter; Hon. Amos L. Allen, Mr. Keed successor in the House of Repres entatives; Mr. Asher C. Hinds, Mr. Reed's parlimentary clerk, and Mr. August O Payne, a life-long friend. At Mrs. Reed'a request there were no ceremonies of any kind lien, and at Portland the) will be of a simple character. Dur ing the entire day there was a stream of sympathetic callers at the Arlington Hotel, where tbe body - of mi. Reed lay awaiting removal They included President and Mrs. Roosevelt, who also sent a band some floral offering; member of the cabinet, the Senate and House of Representative and of tbe diplo matic corps. The body was en closed in a casket with heavy, oxy dized extension handles, and on the top was ajilver plate on which had been engraved tbe lollowing simple inscription: Thomas Brackett Reed, October 18. 1839, December 7th, 190a. Those at the railroad station when the train departed were Sen ator and Mrs. Lodge; Justice Mc- Kenna, of the Supreme Court; General Draper, of Massachusetts, and Representatives Hitt and Lit- tk field. The arrangements for the obse quies at Portland have been left in to tbe hands of Hon. Joseph W. Symotids and John C. Small, rn old neighbor of Mr. Reed. As far as tentatively arranged here, the funeral will take p'ace sinie time Tuesday afternoon, from the hirst Parish Unitarian church, of which the Rev. John Carroll Perkins is pastor. The interment will be at Evergreen temetery. North Carolina Mlnaa bains' Davalopad. Mr. Gill S Peyton, President of Colossus Mining Co , who visited the Messrs Popkesi in our city Saturday and Sunday last is bui d iug lor his company, near Warhall, N. C. , ou the Old Home Mine, a mill for saving tbe gold values trom the ore at that mine, by the process known as the Cyanide Process, with a capacity ot one hundred tons a day. The Meck lenburg Irou Works of Charlotte ire putting up the works under coutract Six large steel tauks are in course of construction, which holds 100 tons each of crushed ore A weak solution of the cyouide of potasium is pi ured on this ore in these tanks and as it percolates through this ore, tliis solution actually dissolves the gold in the ore and the gold pas-es out of the bottom of these tanks in the torra of a so'ution and is afterwards pre cipitated by p.issing the solution through sluice boxes when It cotiieH in contact with ziuct shav ings to wn ch the goid sticks through a natural ap inure of these two in ttels and the gold is alter wsrd. sep.-ratid from the zinct by another process. Mr. Peyton was the first man in America to use th" cyoni le process on ore as it came lroin the mine and this was done at Mtrcur that a few years ago aud the same mine now called the consolidated mercur r una one mill of a thousand tons a day capacity and has paid over three millions dollars divi dends. We like t ) hear of these kind of people taking1 hold of our N. C mines and people should encourage all mining enterprises. New York Sun'e Cattmata of Mr. Rd. Tom Rhkd of Maine is dead and we are sorry for it. There are lew mm in public life tbat the country ould less a.Tord to spare. Tom Rkhd as a great man and a good man. A quarter of a century oi warm frieiioship taught us to know him in that close and per sonal aspect that is commonly de structive ot the abstract and public apprehension of a man Did it detract lroin his figurt? Not a bit of it. He grew bigger and broader and gieatir and inure lov.ible ith each succeeding year; and now that he is gone we know our loss to be irreparable. Never, never again, shall we look upon the like of Tom Rebd He was a splendid character and there was nothing iu all tbe length ind breadth of our land that was more Auieiican than he. What a privilege, what an honor, to have foil Reed (or a friend! He was a politician, but he always thought he was a poor politician. He never drew a dishonest breath. The man, was the soul of honesty. He was a statesman in spite of himself. Big in body, b'g in soul, grand in every quality tbat should denote or adorn a man, Tom Reed leaves a great and deplorable eu.ptiuess where he stood. It is a grievous thing tbat he was not suffered to stay here yet a little while, for his possibilities of good to his country ind of service to mankind were at their greattst. Farewell, true friend, brave heart. Peace to thy ashes and to thy name undying honor!

' A TRUE HERO. aa at 1st Klaa That Oaia LttUa Rceoaaltlaa Here Below. Did jou ever kdow a hero real well? I know at least one and quite Intimate ly. Who! 1 am afraid you would hard ly rceog-nlie bla Dame, and l-ealdei It would not be Just right to give It here, lie la only an old bachelor who works in a ahop. lie has been at one bench for something like well, from this you may Judge: When he began, he waa fresh from school, lie lives In a littla frame house, with an absurd Uttle back yard hardly more than big enough for the syrlnga uusli and tbe asn bar rel. "The flrst morning I started for the ahop." he once told me. "I cut across the back yard and climbed the fence. I have been doing It ever since, and It has been a long time." In the tiny lawn Is worn a deep footputh. The top rail of I lie back fence la smoothly pol ished. Ills feet wore the path. His bands polished the rail. And all these years he has worked at the same bench, doing the same work. Not that he lucks Intelligence or that he never had an ambition. Intelligence he most certainly una, no mean lore of books and a wide, generous grasp of affairs and tbe drift of things. Ambi tion he bad. too. but that was before his feet had worn a path across the back yard. I nm quite sure that he once loved. In fact, 1 suicct tbat 1 know the one he loved, nud that she loved him. ltut be never married. 8he did, tboucb she has been widowed for a dozen years. But why. you nxk. with Intelligence and ainlilllon. did he stick to his bench? In 1111 upper room of his little cottage Is a window bliud which is uever oM-ned. ltehlnd that blind, peer lug out through the shutters with un- recognizing gaze, sits one who bears the outward form of umnhood. Jet hicks lunnhutKi'a mental qua lit lea. The one behind the blind la his brother. Downstairs, puttering feebly about and speaking only In high, thin, querulous tones. Is a wnn and bent old woman his mother. For the sake of these twa he bus worn the path In the lawn: for them lie put away ambition; for them he stilled the love that once stirred within liim. He Is past middle age now, thin as to hair, stooped as to shoulders, let Is there a tenderness In his voice, a cheer ful sweetness In his smile, a patleut resignation In his pule blue eyes, that make his manner of such miiti gvnue- ness us you might expect In a snmu From him comes uever u word of com plaint: about liiui Is 110 trace of dis appointment, no hlut or bitterness. And so. though few know bis name, though he wears no glittering guuda, though he goes tils way unhampered by Mnip or eircuuistunce and all un recognized by church (r state. 1 can not help but count him one of earth's true heroes. Don I you.' sewell 1'oru la llraudur Magazine Main and Ilia lloraa. Did Moses have horns? Ortalnly not. but if vou have ever hud the pleasure of examining u copy of Ml chaol Angelo's great picture of -The Lawgiver" you have wondered why the greut painter surmounted the pa triarehul face, gray Is-ard and tn-coin Ing priestly gow n with 11 pair of boms much resembling those of a two-year- old nnlmul of the bovine trllie. The reason Is this: Jerome's lllble. the i Latin Vulgate, tells that when Moses came down from the mountain top Ins face was "radiant" (rayed) with the great light shining from his pure soul mi the (ireek Scptiiugint the transla tion Bti lit It was "ronum. inclining "radiant." Jerome usitl tills later ver slou In making his Latlu Vulgate and translated "eornun" as "cornutu." the last rneuuiug horned. Augelo made bis plctTjre accordingly. Soli Is a Living Omanlam. Formerly the soil was regarded as mineral mutter, simply decayed rock mixed with dead organic mutter, says 1 an exchange. Now we know that tbe soli is a living orgnnism whose life Is as Important as that of the animal or tbe plant Itself. If the soli be killed, It is absolutely sterile. Iu other words. If the life of organisms which make soil fertile are destroyed the soil Is Incapable of producing a crop. Plants, as a rule, eat only mineral food, such as phosphoric acid, ixitusli and nitric acid, but nuluiiils usually eat only or ganic foods, such as fats, sugars and protein matter. Hla Case Hot So Bad After All. "Ah. It's a sad old world," sighed tbe man who had been cheated out ot 20. "Yes," assented bis neighbor. "One of my horses got bla beac ant In the hayrack last night and broke bin neck I was offered $200 for him less than a month ago." "Pshaw! That's too bad. Looks as though It was going to brighten up. doesn't it?" And he went on hla way whistling cheerfully. Chicago Record- Herald. His ReTeaaaw M.
