"NorthCarolina has lost a most valuable man." Such was the public comment today upon the death of Thomas Kincaid Bruner, for 20 years the Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Agricultire; a man who was al ways true to his State's highest interests and to himself. The tribute the public thus simply paid is deserved. It means much. Half his life was in very truth devoted to North Carolina. He was 52 years of age and was born in Salisbury, the son of J. J. Burner, his mother's maiden name being Kincaid, and she be ing also a native of the eood County of Rowan. His father was for many years editor and publisher of The Carolina Watch man of Salisbury, a power in the newspaper world of its day, and T. K. Burner was for sometime associated with him on that paper. He was devoted to the study of mineralogy and became an expert. It was quite natural therefore, that when the North Carolina Department of Agricul ture began its great work of col lection and installation of the re sources of the earth that he should be chosen as the chief collector, and that he should fig ure prominently at the exhibits the State made in the early '80's at Boston, Atlanta and New Or leans. He succeeded Peter M. Wilson as secretary to the agri cultural board a little more than twenty-one years ago, and he soon won a reputation in this State and others.

At the last term of Durham Superior Court George Smith was up on the charge of retailing whiskey. He was convicted and sentenced to the county roads for six months, but later Judge Webb decided to let him off with the understanding that he was to leave the the county. This he did, but later decided to visit Durham before going to Georgia. In the meantime Smith was arrested by the Federal authori ties and after being sentenced to the Atlanta prison for twelve months. Later, however, this sentence was suspended, and he was ordered to leave the state within thirty days. After spending some days in Raleigh Smith decided that he would go to Georgia, but before doing so he thought he would again visit Durham and bid his friends good-bye. This he in tended to do last Friday, but Sheriff Harward found him here and the order of the court was put into execution. He was ar rested and carried to the chain gang, where he will have to serve the sentence of the super ior court. Many amusing things are told of Smith and his desire to make a living selling whiskey. One of them is that when he was arrest ed here the first time and given a hearing and bouad ovfcr by Vfie mayor, he came out of the office and remarked to some one near. "that he sold a certain fellow some whiskey and he had report ed him. and that he would not sell him any more." Another remark that showed that he was still determined to engage in the business was when he was or dered to leave the county he re marked that he would go to Ral eigh, where he would begin anew. "The Merchant oITenlce" The presentation of the "Mer chant of Venice," by the dra matic club of the Durham High school at the Academy of Music last Friday night was quite an event to those that have been: practicing for the occasion. A large crowd attended and were agreeablv surprised at the man ner in which the characters were portrayed.

Speed Trtal Successful. Newport News, Va., Feb. 16. -With brooms at her mastheads and yard arms announcing that all records had been swept aside, the new armored cruiser North Carolina returned to the ship yard to-day. During her third speed test run off the Virginia capes between 7:30 and 11:30 o'clock last night, the ship main tained an average speed of 22.48 knots of .48 of a knot in excess of the' contract speed required. This was the best speed ever made by a Vessel of the armored cruiser class. From General Manager W. A. Post to the smallest messenger boy, every body abroad the ship was wild with enthusiasm when the crew came ashore this morning, and as the good news began to circu late from place to place the en tire city joined in the rejoicing. "NorthCarolina" is the sub ject of discussion hereto-night, for the ship named for the Old North State changed over night from a probable failure, the first ever turned out by the Newport News ship building and Dry Dock Company to the queen of the armored cruiser class. On account of the delayed ar rival of the. firemen from Ho boken the cruiser did not put to sea from Old Point until yester day afternoon at 3 o'clock. A 40-mile gale was blowing and the sea was runhinghigh, but when ofl the capes the vessel started her run.4s,,7he2 knot' requirement was exceeded the first hour and each hour thereafter the ship ran faster. The engines turned up 122 revolutions a minute are nearly four more revolutions than were necessary to drive hit at the require deed. As soon as the run was finish ed, the ship started homeward, arriving in Hampton roads by the light of the moon, nearly full. Twenty fdur hours' endur ance run was given when the cruiser went to the New Eng land coast about two months ago and the ship will be turned over to the government in the near future. Death 0IK.E. Watson. After a brief illness of pneu monia, R. E. Watson, a young man about 25 years of age, died at the home of his father in Edgemont, last Monday morning.
