Untimely 'Death ol 14-year-CId Boy Last Sunday Afternoon.. -In the accidental death of young Orus Crutchfield in Eller- be creek last Sunday afternoon. furnished Durham with, the un usual in the line of casualties. ' The facts of the distressing accident,' from what can be learned from, companions who were with the boy when he met his death are about as follows: Sunday afternoon Orus Cxutch- field, 14-year-old son of Mrs. J. I. Crutchfield, in company with two neighbor boys, wandered off from home and found their way to Ellerbe creek and were soon jonoying the sport of swimming in the old "washing hole." It seems that the two companions rcould swim, while their unfortu nate friend could not. There was only a small place in the center of the pool that was be yoad their depth and young Crutchfield lost his foot-hold and got into that. Hislfriends did all they could to keep him from drowning but without avail. Upon seeing him drown they left immediately for help. When aid was secured they all returned and the body was re covered and carried to the home of the boys' mother. The funeral was conducted from the Second Baptist church Monday afternoon by Revs. J. W. Downey, and O. W. Triplett, owing to the absence of the pas- Ltor, Rev. W. C. Barrett, after which the interment took place in Maplewood cemetery. Totmg Crutchfield was well liked by all that knew him, and his tontimeljr death casta gloom over ffeis - playmates and . the friends of the family. The sym pathy of the community in which he lived goes out to the mother in her sad hour. . a .. m m . as in nour xor the primaries approaches, candidates and their friends become more active, and speech-making and hand-shak- Ceitn! ia&aj C2esctst&L '' MM ' ' V . ft mer present scholastic year will close on the 12th of May with the following program: Saturday evening.

Fouchee, Chairman, County Board of Elections. A Good and Deserving Man for Commissioner of Agriculture. From Gastonia News. 'We feel that it is a matter of great importance to the people of North Carolina, especially the farmers that something could be said that would cause them to think more seriously about the proper man to award the nomi nation at the Democratic state convention for the, importants office of Commissioner of Agri culture. Now as Major W. A. Graham is one of the aspirants to this of fice, we conscientiously say that there is no man more deserving or imbued with power competent to the fulfillment to the place than he. For me to say here that these are the sentiments of the many who know him is not out of place, as he has without faltering stood by the farmers in every movement calculated for the betterment of agriculture. . He is and has been for many years a member of the. Board of Agriculture, and in this position baa taken an active part, been instrumental in a number of im provements that have been made suggesting many, himself. He is at Ipresent Chairman of the Board and should he be elected commissioner; this long exper ience would give him many ad vantages over any. other man in the race. .When it comes to improved and practical methods of doing things Major Graham is right there, f owning the first wheat eeper.ator and reaper, and in 1866 planned the first double foot plow used m his county, owned the first cotton gin with a condenser west of the Catawba River. Upon the adjournment of the Legislature 1875 Gen D. H. Hill saidin The Southern 'Home" The able efficient and hard working Senator (Major Gra ham) took a proniinenc .part in the . leading measures and en deared himself to the farmers by watchfulness over their interests. protected as they never were be fore." During Carpet bag and subse quent days he was the only man in Lincoln County that could be depended upon to manage any Campaign. He is one of the few left who in 1881 canvassed for prohibition under, the appoint roentof State Ex. Committee. Now, for the incessant labor and faithfulness, why not show our appreciation and Taward him the nomination which he right fully deserves? His age and the fruits of his works justify this reward. The other aspirants are younger arid have a chance of being recognized later. A. P. Rudisill, Dallas, Gaston Co. N. C.
