Long, who did not indulge in eulogies of Ihe great Generals, but devoted his remarks to the scenes which came under his personal observstion as a Confederate soldier. The United States Supreme Court has decided that no State can pro hibit a railroad from hauling liquor from ono State into another State, fas it would be an interference with t interstate commerce. The evil will have to be remedied through an act of Congress, and an act to that effect I has been framed and its passage will be urged. The American Issue, a non-parti san paper publiched in Westerville, Ohio, in speaking of the convention of tbe Anti-Ssloon League to be held in Rsleigh on 26-28 inst., says: "The speakers' boom is on. Re cently Harmon, Hryan, Champ Clark, and Woodrow Wilson, one of whom will be the next President of the United States, have spoken there." To tbe foregoing we will add that all that all the gentlemen named are Democrats, and that, if the Issue has read the political horoscope correct ly, the next President of the United States will ba a Democrat. Good old Virginia has again shown her appreciation of North Carolina talent. Just a year Or two ago Dr. Alderman was chosen as the first President of the University of Vir ginia, and yesterday the Trustees of Washington and Lee University at Lexington, Va., elected Dr. Henry ' Louis Smith, now President of Ijavidson College, to the Presidency of that institution. Dr. Smith was bora in Greensboro, and has been President of Davidson since 1901. Be is a son of the late Dr. J. Henry Smith, who wss for many years pas tor of the First Presbyterian church. We bolieve both of Dr. Smith's par eats were natives of Virginia. New York city'is the largest and oldest Incorporated of the 168 large cities in the United States. Its land area is 620 square miles, as against Chicago, which ranks j aeoond, with 190, and 129 in Phil adelphia^ The State Republican Execu tive Committee has been called to meet in Raleigh on Wednesday, . Febgiary 28th. It will fix the time and place for holding the State convention. ■ Greensboro is f- making a strong pall for the State convention. Dr. Cook, the North-Pole dis cover (?), has lectured at several points in the State lately and lots 'of people have heard him, if for no other reaaon, on account of his notoriety. Speaking of him, the | Progressive Farmer delivers him a blow in the following words: "The world haa probably never known a more audacious fakir thah Dr. Frederick A. Cook. 'Having made a pile of money faking the public before hia ex i posure, he is now making an ad ditional pile telling the people i he did it. Dr. Cook has re toently lectured at several places in the South." . In Jnty, 1909, a young sou of Mr. J. P. Lowery, of Charlotte, l /fell In a ditch on property belong | ing to tiie city and was drowned.

Humphrey, who mys | teriously disappeared from his |; home near Tolaraville, Robeson count}', ou the morning of the i 6th, is still missing, nothing hav> ing been seen nor heard of him Celebrating Opening of Oxer-Sea Railroad. At Key West, Fla., Moudny was celebrated the opening of the over-sea extension of the Florida East Coast railway. A number of United States warships, a Por tuguese cruiser, a German cruiser and other vessels gathered in the harbor for the celebration. Assist ant Secretary War Oliver rep resented President Taftatthe cel ebration and many members of Congress, captains of industry and prominent citizens from various parts of the country were prest nt. The over-sea road is one of the costliest railways ever construct ed aud one of the most unique and picturesque. It steps from key to key, at some points being out of sight of land except the narrow strip of roadbed. Between the keys there are the long stretches of concrete viaducts, steel and drawbridges. Work on the over-sea extension of the Florida East Cast railway was begun from Homestead in 1904. Four years were requird to construct this extension to Knight's Key. Four years more of strenuous labor made more difficult and delayed by storm wreckage were required to com plete the road to Key West, a distance of only 40 miles from Knight's Key. [ W. T. Roddey, of Charlotte, 28 years old, died Saturday night as a result of iujuries sustained by a fall on the ice ten days ago. The Sanford Express hears that citizens of certain territory in Harnett county petitioned for an election on the stock law. The election was ordered and the registration books kept open ac cording to law. Only one man registered and on the day of elec tion not a single vote was cast for or against the proposition. George V. Steck, former post office clerk, who confessed to the theft of a $25,000 registered pack age of currency, was sentenced in the United States court in St. lx>uis last week to three and a half years in the penitentiary. He restored $23,662, after having secreted it in a chicken coop for a year. A caboose and passenger coach, which broke loose from a South ern railway freight train at Bel mont, Gaston county, Saturday night, crashed into the train and fatally injured. L. D. Caldwell, of King's Mountaiu, a oassenger, and seriously injured J. It. Hardin, a flagman. Both men were taken to a hospital in Charlotte and I Caldwell died Sunday night. Badly mutilated, the dead bodies of Felix Brousard, his wife and three ohildren, negroearwere found Sunday In their home at Lake Charles, La., inakfing the second wholesale negro murder in that State within awaek'and the sixth within the year. A bloody axe with which the crime appar- ently *U committed vm found b«neath the bed upon which the bodlea lay. No olae to the mur derer wh found except this In scription written on the frontdooi of the Brouaard home: "When He maketh Ule inquisition for blood He forgetteth not the cry of the humble human fire." The United States board of en gineers has recommended that Cape Lookout, on the North Caro lina coast, eight milea north of Beanfort, be made an harbor of refuge. It is recommended that $600,000 be appropriated to begin the work and $3,600,000 to com plete it. The Norfolk Southern railroad now runa within nine miles of Lookout and if the report of the engineers is adopted the road will be oompleted to the Cape. The adoption of the recommenda tion means a great commercial harbor ou the North Carolina coast. NERVES James Ira While. At the good age of 75 years, at the borne of his oldest son in Bur- Ifngton, N. 0., on the lOthtlayof Jan. 1912,, this good man died. For some months bis health had been declining but the end of his I earthly life came rather suddenly, but from a personal knowledice of bim we are confident that he wna prepared. I have known Bro. While from my boyhood, and in every period of his life it can be truthfully said that he was an example of clean, honest, upright living—a christian gentleman. From childhood to old age he ever sustained an irre proachable character, and Ala mance county and the State has in his death lost a most valuable citizen. The real value of a good man is incalculable. Mr. White filled several import ant/stations in his native county, as teacher, county official, and church officer.' In every position be was devoted and efficient. But, perhaps, as teacher, he made the most lasting impressions and ac complished the greatest good. In this sphere, hid from the gaze of the busy world, this man, as many others have done, labored patient ly, long, and faithfully, guiding and training the young for lives of usefulness and honor. His work is done—his labor has end ed and he has entered into rest. We have the heritage of bis toil aud bis memory. The last illness was of short duration. Some prefer a long sea son of lingering disease, as calcu lated u> loosen the cords of life and let them away more easily. Others desire brief notice, that suspense may also be brief. But few desire instant death. Thous ands have repeated tbe petition of the Episcopal Prayer Book, "From sudden death, good Lord deliver us." Is it a good prayer ? To a christian is it more desirable to feel one's powers wasting through long years, the. old ties loosening, office by office vacated, one association after another dis solved, until our life becomes a weariness to ourselves and a burden to others? For my part I have long thought and often said that I, prefer by the grace of God to live fully, in perfect play of all my powers, aud busier than ever; ready to go but quite as ready to stay, and then, in a moment leap the narrow dividing Stream from the banks of this Island of mortal life to the banks of the oontinent of the life everlaating. To a christian in full power it must be glorious to> have the lightning flash fling opefc the doors of immortality. But the choice, thank Gkd, is not with us. "Whether wj» live, we live unto the Lord: Whether we die, we die unto the "Whether we live or die We are the Lord's." Let those of us who survive live and work in this faith. It will make our work better and us happier. W. S. LOMG. Chapel Hill, N. C., Jan. 90,1912. 9mm Caap X F. D. No. 1 Items. Oor. Of TIM OiWUMT.

StoUaviUe Landmark. ▲ Statesville young lady visited friends iti another town during the Christmas holidays. When she was ready to start home her host and hostess.gave her a bottle of wine to bring to her parents as a Christmas remembrance. The young lady and bottle of wine came as far as Salisbury the night she started for home. At Salisbury she had to spend the night, as No. 35, due in Statesville at 10:22 p. m., was annulled on account of a wreck in the mountains. The young lady left a call at the Salisbury hotel for 4:15 a. m. in order to catch the 5:05 train, duo in Statesville now at 5:55. The hotel folks called her an hour too early—3:ls—and she had to wait at the Salisbury station an hour longer than necessary —-— ; Anyhow, the young lady and bottle of wine started home all right from Salisbury. The bottle of wine was deposited in the young lady's muff. Before the train had) proceeded very far from Salisbury the j'oung lady felt something pop against her. Tho wine had forced the stopper out of the bottle, had run out and ruined her muff and dress. A passenger on the train, a. States ville young man, went to her assistance, gathered up the wine remaining in the bottle and replac ed the stopper. A few minutes later the stopper went skyballing to the other end of the car, and still ahother Statesville pssenger, a church deacon, chased it and brought it back. Everything worked well until the party arrived in Statesville. There were no carriages at the station at that early hour and they had to walk, the young man carrying the wine. About half way over town the stopper flew out of the bottle again and the young man gave chase. In trying to capture the stopper he fell down the embankment and bruis ed himself. Eventually the wine was subdued and delivered to those for whom it was intended— the young lady's parents.

Keep your shirts on 1 The po litical storm han brewed and is blowing with a vengeanoe. It is mostly blowing around the ears of Woodrow Wilson. It is the whole Held and the special inter ests against Wilson. Privilege and special interests will stir heaven and earth to prevent Wilson from getting the nomination for President, and when it does that it will stir heaven and earth to defeat the election of Whoever gets the Democratic Domination. The field—the Democratic field, compose! of all other aspir ants and all the party cliques opposed to everybody but a moss back—will resort to everything to keep the New Jersey Gover nor from being nominated, but if it is whipped out most of the field will fall in line with as good grace as possible. Nevertheless, it will work all the tricks of the political game to put the kibosh on the man to whom the nation seems to be looking for a Presi dent who will restore the gov ernment to the people. The political storm is on and it beats fiercely about Wilson. He is in the vortex of the maelstrom because he is towering above all others. If any other distinguish ed Democrat were in the lead it' would be. he who would have to be beaten by all means, fair or fool.
