Charles Manly Busbee Jlcd in the city, of Rulcigii last Sat urday morning, Nortn Carolina lost out of her truest sons. Uo wai oi Nature's noblemen anj the best ef f .r'ts of his noble life were given VS'1fishry to the up-ift of North Car olina and its people. H? was typical of her soil, of her people, of her tractions. No mxa of his genera tion has done mi v than he to plate his State in th for-5 front of the vast sisterhood nf states Of this Un'cn. He accomplisJied in the quiet valks of private Hfe what many otbfrs vainly attain sted to accomplish in tbe"glare and gr.i"r of public pres tige. As a constructive legislator as a learned and conscientious lawyer, as a faithful and consistent churchman, as a public spirited and patriotic cit izen, he was resplendent. The inti mate friend of Vance, of Ransom, of Jarvis, and many other illustrious contemporaries whose names adorn the pages of North Carolina's history, In brilliancy of mind, in sympathy of heart, in unselfish and abiding pat riotism, he was the equal of any and the superior of many. He loved his follow man and he was a public benefactor. The example of his illustrious and unsullied life is a richer heritage to the North Carolina youth than could "have been obtained by, accumulated wealth. He was always interested in young men, and perhaps no product of his fertile brain was fraught with more wholesome advice to them than an address which he once made to the students of "Wake Forest College, and the words of which will live, in the bosom of the North Carolina boy long after the ashes of the speaker have mingled with the soil which he loved BO well. His address on this occasion, was in part as follows. Young gentlemen, you can have no sublimer aspiration than to stand among your fellows as an honest man and a gentleman. Tou can attain no higher honor than to walk among men' as a simple follower of the Man of Gallilee. Make the Bible the chart of your life, your guiding star, the star that shone in the eastern sky above the manger at Bethlehem . Whatever honors may come to you, whatever distinction in art or letters or business or profes sional life may be yours, you will fail of measuring up to the truest and highest type of man hood if you fail to win the digni ty, the strength, the serene and lofty beauty that accompanies the life and marks the character of a Christain gentleman. ' I commend to you as the Jbigh est aim of life the cultivation of honor, integrity, virtue and relig ious faith. Remember that publfc and private virtue are the great conservative safe-guards of so ciety and adorn and glorify the individual life. There is a beautiful allegory in which virtue is made to say to a young man entering on life's tur- bulent field4: ' 'I have a temple in every heart that owns my influence, And to himwho wishes for me I am ever present. Science may arise to eminence, I alone can guide thee to felicity.' Lessons of Christianity should not come alone from the pulpit. The great duty of life should not be taught alone by the clergy. I do not intend to preach a ser ' mon; but no public speaker on an occasion like this, and in an age like the present, should neglect to declare that integrity and vir tue are inseparable accompani ments of national prosperity and ! individual happiness that under nearth all civilization , and peace are the everlasting arms, and :that faith in the Lord God of Hosts is essential to the staVility of our insitutions and the preser vation of our liberties". A people who condone corruption, who tem porize with immorality, who in the mad struggle for wealth and power lose their faith in God, are putting in peril their freedom and "fcheir national existence. Singer First Cost is the Whole Cost. PASSES AWAY. In chronicleing the death of Mrs. Lorana G. Underwood in another column of this newspaper, the writer is seized with a reminiscent mood and recalls many incidents which cluster about the location, in this mid1 st, of her enterprising and dis tinguished husband, the late Dr. Wil liam Underwood, who cast his lot with the people of this town in the fall of 1868. Dr Underwood was a remarkable man. He was by. nature a promoter, and it is safe to say that he contri buted more to the industrial develop ment of this community than any other man who ever lived here. The first fall of his foot upon this soil marked a new era in the history of Elizabeth City. He was essentially a live wire, and this community, for so many years under the pall of in dustrial letgargy, as a result of the institution of slavery, was thrilled by the electric shock of his enthusiasm. He inspired our' people with confi dence in the latent possibilities of this Albemarle section and he im parted to them a zeal with which they set about to develop those , pos sibilities. He went north and recited to his former neighbors the many advantag es of this region and incited an exod us which brought to us such men as C. W. Smith, Nj R. Zimmerman, D. S. Kramer, S. S. Fowler, J. D. Ful- mer, u. u. Price, u. H. Robinson and others whose names are identified with the material progress of this town for the last quarter of a cen tury and more. He formed the Land ?and Lumber Company which did a flourishing business here for several years. He was the president of the company while our present townsman Mr. Chas. H. Robinson, then a beardless boy, was the secretary. It was chiefly through the untiring efforts of Dr. Underwood that a rail road was built from Norfolk to Eliz abeth City. His efforts in this re spect seemed hopeless until he finally enlisted the interest of Mr. John S. Kihg, the father of Mr. M. King, who has since figured so prominency in the building of the Norfolk and Southern Railway, and it was from the advent of the railroad, through the efforts of Dr. Underwood, that Elizabeth City assumed a new role. He was easily the town's most lib eral benefactor, he did more with the means at his command than any one man, and yet his ashes rest in the Episcopal Cemtery in this city with no stone to mark the spot. He nar a monument, to be sure, but it consists not of marble nor bronze, but in the solid prosperity that he build-?d and the far reaching enthusiasm which he imparted to others. May peace rest above his obscure grave and may public emulation still follow his rich jexample. 9 Of course you can buy a sewing machine for less money than you would pay for a Singer all the world knows that. But consider diis: When a Singer is bought and paid ; for, it is paid orit lasts a lifetime. (Q A cheap machine is never paid for. Every cent expended for repairs must be added to the original cost it's an endless system of instalments? These instalments, added to the first cost of the machine, soon ex ceed the cost of a Singer, and after each successive repair (if you con gei another part) the cheap machine grows more and more second-hand one step nearer the junk heap. (Q The time lost, the trouble and the worry outweigh many times over the difference in the cost between the "cheap" machine and the Singer There are two kinds of machines good and bad and the good kind is the Singer.
