North Carolina's Most Beloved Citizen Dies in Birmingham, AIJL, While Speaking for Universal Edu cation—Funeral and Bu rial at Raleigh Sun day Aternoon. It were vain to attempt to describe the effect the death of Gov. Aycock produced when heralded over the State Friday morning. He was no well known and BO universally be loved throughout the State by all classes and conditions-that the news could come only with a feeling of personal bereavement to every ODe. He had gone toltirmingham, Ala., to apeak t> tho Alabama Educational Association. Following other speak ers, after an introduction by Oor. O'Neal, he had «p> ken about an hour and was about half through an ad dress on "Universal Education, ita necessity and Benefit." His v. .ice had grown appeciably weaker and he seemed to be apeaking with some ef fort He said "I have determined, if such a thing is possible to open the doon of the schools to every child ", according to the stenographic reports, then turned and fell. The sentence wss unfin ished. He fell befors anyone could catch him. He was removed to tbe si dp of the stage in the Jefferßon Theater where ho waa apeaking. Physicians came at once, but life was oxtinct. Thus he fell in the very advocacy of a cause that waa a passion of his his life and which won for him the honorable sobriquet of "Educational Governor." ——-—— Charles Brantley Aycock waa bora Nov. 1, 1869, and waa reared on a farm near Freemont, Wayne county. He was the yougeat son of Benjsmin Aycock, a man of charac ter and ability. He graduated from the University in 1&J0. Later studied law and practiced at Golds boro. Under Presidsnt t 'levelaud's admisistration he was U. S. District Attorney for the Eaatern I 'iatrict of North Carolina. He was elected Governor in 1900. When he retired from the office be resumed the prac tioe at the law, but soon located in Raleigh. Aa a man and si Governor, ha waa also one of the State's most noted lawyers. On Sunday afternoon, after his mortal remains had lain in State at the Oapitcl, the funeral services ware conducted snd the body laid to rest in Oak wood cemetery in the presence of an immense concourse of people gathered from all parts of the State to pay honor snd respect to the memory of the State's be loved dead. THE MISSISSIPPI The "Father of Waters" seems to have been at ita worst. Higk-vrater mark appears to have been reached. The devastation hu been fearful. A Bomber of towns have been flooded. Some livea have been lost. Thoua anda of cattle have periahed. The „ flooding of houses aad manufaatur iag planta haa caused losses amount iog to hundreds of thousands. Two thousand sqaare miles have been submerged. Over 600,000 acres of larro lands have, been flooded, and losses sre estimated in the millions. Gov.

PLANS IN PROGRESS FOR BIG COUNTY COMMENCEMENT. The Entire County Interested-Parade and Sengs by Thoasaads ef School Children—First Gradaatlea fro as the PabUe Schools-Able Ad dress—Hood Naslr. e What promises to be the largest educational gathering in the en tire history of Alamance is tbe county commencement on Satur day, April 27tb, or the last Satur day in April. Plans are being made and developed for a large gathering of people from all over the county to oome together in one grand demonstration and educa tional rally. A Marshal haa been appointed for every township, who with the committee and other friends of education will material ize arrangements for bringing in groups and entire schools and otherwise the students of each township. Some will come in droves of wagons, others in large floats and some who are near enough will charter street care for conveyance. The StreetCar Com pany is joining in the movement by offering a percentage of the entire proceeds of the company for that day. The following let ter has been received by the Su perintendent of Schools from the President of the Company: Burlington, N. C., March 12th, 1912. PROF. J. B. ROBERTSON, Graham, N. C., IJF.AU SlK: —Referring to tbe County Commencement or Edu cational Fair which you propose to hold at Graham for all of the public and graded schools of Ala mance county in April, next, will say that inasmuch as there will be some expense incident to the enterprise, and considering the fact that your plan*, if success fully carried out, will be of benefit to our Compauy, we propose to donate to the enterprise 20 per cent, of all fares collected on the day that the commencement is held. We truat that the amount thus received may to a large extent de fray any expenae which you and your associates in the enterprise may incur. Yours very truly, J..W. MI KHAY, President. Township banners are being made for each township and school penaiit* are being made for each school in the oounty by the Supt. and Chief Marshal. These will be furnished from the Supt.'s office or by the township marshal so they can be used for colors by the schools coming to the com mencement as well aa in the parade. The parade will be the largest army of achonl children ever wit neeeed In this oounty In one body. The program will be printed soon. Every Item on It will be of interest. Thousands of voloes of school ehllditn in one chorus slog ing our beet and sweetest patriotic songs will intersperse tbe entire THERE IS absolutely no word to express the efficacy of Scott's Emulsion in the treatment of COUGHS, COLDS BRONCHITIS CATARRH, GRIPPE AND RHEUMATISM program. Some catchy rendi tions by a few of the smallest children of the first grade will be given. Prof. M. H. Stacy of the Department of Mathematics In onr State University, will make the address. Prof. Stacy is one of the most winning speakers of today. The Mayor of one of our growing cities recently said of one of Prof. Stacy's speeches: "I have heard only a few speeches in my life time that were worthy to be compared with that." The flist certificates of gradua tion ever awarded in the history of the public school system of our county will be presented on that day. This feature of the 4 day's exercise will be a marker in tbe development of our educational system. Because of its signifi cance in standardizing the work of the r*ublic Schools, this item will be observed with more than passing interest. The Oneida Brass Band will furnish music throughout the en tire day. The Supt. asks the co operation of every well-wisher and worker in this splendid cause. Come and bring your ohildren and your neighbor's children that they may all contribute their part and receive their part. Send It In. If you have a bit of news, send it in; or a joke that will amuse, send it in. A story that is true, an accident that's news, we want to hear from yon I Send it in. If it's only worth the while, send it in. Never mind about your style. Send it in. Of those crops that all amaze of—the berries "neighbors" raise, of a section you would praise—send it in. Of some patient labor done—send it in; of a fallen brother won, send it in. Of a master who cat teach truth beyond the average reach, of a noble, glowing speech, send it in. Will your story make us laugh? Send it in. fond along a photo graph. Send It in. When out fishing, send a note of things you catch afloat, or the good times on the boat. Send it in. At the Uwharrie gold mine near Candorr, Montgomery county, a few days ago, Jim Ward, a negro employe, was killed by dropping 70 feet through a shaft to the bot tom of the pit. It seems that Ward was accustomed to waiting for the bucket to carry him to the surface at quitting time and on this particular occasion the bucket passed him just as the bell rang to stop work. Ward jumped for the bucket, missed his hold and dropped to his death. The New Hanover county com missioners have hired W. M. Jones, a white man, to his wife for six months/Jones requesting this arrangement rather than to servo this period on the county roads, to which he was sentenced from the recorder's court on charge of non-support. His wife, who caused his arrest, made the only offer to hire him. Jones is hired to his wife upon condition that she pay the cost of the ease and further that, if Jones fails to provide for her, he is to serve out bis term on the oounty roads. Chas. Murphy, of Yancey ooun ty, who killed John Simmons be cause Simmons would not give him some whiskey when he stop ped him in the public road and asked for it, has been coranitted to the State prison for 17 years. Murphy was first oonvicted of murder and sentenced to death, but secured a new trial. Evl denee that he was an epileptic and therefore irresponsible saved his neck on the seoond trial. f Chief of Poliee Rogers, of Clyde, Haywood county, has been com mitted to jail without bail for the killing of Lee Wells, who raised a row at a school closing at Clyde and resisted arrest. Oae Mo- Crack en, depntiaed by Rogers to assist in the arrest, was danger ously wounded and is yet la a pre carious condition. Rev. Braxton Woodruff, a well known Baptist minister, died re eently at his home near Klkin, aged 74. • FOR iJJMG LIFE TbOM Intereited, MM Read Frssh air and exercise, with proper tood aad a saOeleat amount of sleep, are the ssssntlsls. trader such a restate of llvtac, twins cannot develop, aad anay die eases are pcevcatcd. the system raqntre a tonic, take only such as yoe know their ft* Srsdleats—such -is Vlpol, whloh to a delicious combination of the health* giving properties ot tbe cods' livers, with all the eselese grsass eliminated snd tonic troa added, happily Headed la a mild, medicinal wine. per this rsasea Vtaol to retarded aa eae of the greatest body haOders and tavlgoratara tor aged psopla.
