Archibald Bruce Mc Eachin, a native of Robeson county, died at his home in Tus caloosa, Ala., on the 26th ult. He had been in feeble health for several years. The deceased was related to a large number of peo ple in this county, among his rel- place where the hest and other noted names in Scot tish history.

The Tuscaloosa Times Gazette of the 28th ult. gives a two column sketch of this distinguished son of Robeson county, from which sketch the following is taken: "Archibald Bruce McEachin was one of the most brilliant All 1 1 men Aiaoama nas Known. He wss a native of North Caro lina, a fact of which he was al ways proud, counting that next to his distinguished Scottish lineage. He came of the best blood that flowed in Scotland, his ancestors having all come from the Highlands. On the pater nal side he was descended from the McEachins and Grahams and on the maternal side he traced his relationship through the Mc Queens and McKaes. lie came in a direct line from Flora Mc- Donald and Kooert tfruce, and a worthy son was he of noble for bears. "He was born seven ty-ene years ago. He graduated from the law school of Chief Justice Pearson in North Carolina, after two years of study and commenc ed the practice of law in his na tive State in 1857. He located in Alabama, at Marion, in 1859, and edited the Marion American during the Bell and Everett campaigns, being at that time an old time Whig. He always displayed a great facility in writ ing and was often a contributor to different newspapers, having been while but a boy an associ ate editor of the North Carolina Argu i. He raised a company of sharp shooters in January of 1862 en listing 60 men from Perry, Bibb and Dallas counties, some of them coming from Tuscaloosa. The Secretary of War declined to commission the men as sharp shooters and later the company was united with Capt. . Hood of Troy and Capt. McEachin was elected first lieutenant, the com pany being mustered in Com- pa w D, 6th Alabama Cavalry, Clanton's Bridge. His health failed while doing picket duty on the Florada Coast and he served on uourt Martial and then, as in spector of Quartermaster's ac counts. In 1863 he was assigned to duty as Post Quartermaster at Savannah, Ga., with the rank of a captain of Cavalry, and he re- maineu in tnat city until it was captured by Sherman. He was promoted to the rank of Major a short time before the fall of Richmond but never received his commission. "He maried centered. "Capt. A. B. McEachin is also suryived by two sisters, one liv ing at West Pont, Miss., and the other in Washington, D. C. "Capt. McEachin was a man of remarkable intellect. He seemed a born lawyer and it was a pleasure to hear him conduct a case in the court room. He was . . i i witty and he was quick in every branch of the law and before a jury he was well nigh unsurpass ed. He enjoyed a practice that ex tended far and yet he had time for some literary pursuits and he wrote with a happiness of style and a wealth of humor and a fund of information that could not be excelled. He established the Southern Law Journal which he published and edited with conspicuous ability until 1888, at which time he sold it. "He was a member of the Presbyterian church and from this sacred house he will be buried this morning, the funeral taking place at ten o'clock." WOODBERRY LENNON . ATTORNEY AT LAW Lumberton, N. C.

The North Carolina Historical Commission through its Secre tary, Mr. R. D. W. Connor, has made another find of more than ordinary interest to the people of the State. The Commission received yes terday, from Italy, a plaster cast of Canova's famous statue of Washington. The cast was made from the original plaster model executed by Canova's own hands, from which the marble statue was made and it is the gift of the Royal Government of Italy to the State of Nerth Carolina, through the State Historical Commission.

Rooms No. 7 and 8. 1-20-08 a Robesonian as well as anybody else positions, too, that can be filled just as well by Robesonians as folks from other counties. Lack of loyalty to our own county has held Robeson back in a political sense, and we should remember that as a county we can never gain prestige unless we are united in all matters where our home folks are concerned. Now don't understand me to say that we should disregard the qualifications of men and place 1 j1 m ourselves in tne position 01 en dorsing or pushing the claims of a man who is wholly disqualified for the position to which he as pires. But all things being equal, let us stand by the home man, and if in doubt, give him the benefit of it. No one can better appreciate the feelings of a man who has experienced this loyal support than myself, and no one can ever be more grateful. So let nineteen ten be a year ever to be remembered in pro gress, plenty, peace and political famous work of art ever in America. The statue was order ed from Canova by the State in lolb, was brought to America in 1821, set up in the State House at Raleigh, and destroyed whan ine estate nouse was burned in 1831. After its distruction, the btate appropriated $5,000 for its repair, but the money was spent without success. But now, after the lapse of more than three- quarters of a century, through the enorts of Secretary Connor. of the Historical Commission the statue is recovered just as it come from the sculptor's hands, and an opportunity is offered to the State for a comparatively smaii sum to nave it recarvea into marble and set up again in the State Capitol, where it will once more become the most valuable work of the kind in the Union.
