There are no better schools in

schools of Salisbury. The curri
oulum covers a very wide field and
consists of the highest class and
most reliable text books to be had
and each department is presided
over by an instructor deeply in
terested in the pupils and fully
capable to impart the informa

parent interested in the welfare o
his .child's education should see to

DEATH OF DR. D. B. WuOD.
Continued from page 1.
of the historians, Wheeler and
Rumple, and of his cohtempora
riee, and their successors. Doctor
Wood's father, W . Wood, was
an elder for many years in Third
Creek Presbyterian Church. He
was married three times. His sec
ond wife was Miss Eliza Gould, a
sister of the Rev Daniel Gould
, at that time pastor of the "States
vil'e Presbyterian church. She
lived only about three months
aftr their marriage, when Mr
Wood married Miss Margaret
Knox, a step daughter of Robert
Johnston and half sister of the
brothers Rev . Wm . M. and Hugh
Brandon Johnston. His' wife
Margaret bore him Rev. William
A. Wood, D D.t late pastor of
States ville Presbyterian church,
I homaB Scott, Mary Dorcas, Mar
garet, Laura and James Hall,
colonel of the 4th North Carolina
troops. These have ail passed
-'over the river." James the
.brave and lamented young colone
JelLat Sniggera's Gap iu the late
conflict between the States.
In eirly youth Dr. Wood received
such education as was common in
the, "old field" schools of his day.
His different teachers were Messrs.
Cuuuingham, Click, Niblock, Al
exander, Johnston, (a brother of
rrof. Mortimer Johnston,) Rose
uoro, uates, or uetz, who was
born in Peter S.- Ney's country
and whose name is spoken of by
the Rev. Richard Barber in his
communication in Weston's book.
From the tenth to the thirteenth
year young Wood worked on his
father's farm. In the latter years
he was sent to the Johnston neigh
borhood school to Mortimer D
Johnston, afterwards professor at
W m i a
uavmson jjoiiege, where he re
mained the spring of 1837, when
he entered Davidson College, in
the same class with the late Jas.
G. Ramsay, and from which they
graduated in 1841.
In May 1843 Dr. Wood entered
the cffioe of Dr. George. B, Doug
las, m Salisbury, as a medical
student, and had tentative prac
tice under the supervision of Drs.
Douglas and Pleasant Henderson
among the operatives of the old
cotton mill then located in the
South Ward, till the fall of 1844,
when he attended a course of lec
tures ia the University of New
city. On his return, in 1845, he
located on his father's plantation
and practicad until after his mar
riage ia 1849 when he removed to
a residence (the Matthew Steele
place) near the Iredell line and
Elm wood where he' continued
regular practice, until recently.
In a communication from him he
said (July 20th, 1901,) "I retired
. from, the active practice of medi
cine about 1895 or 6, although I
did a desultory praotice for sev
eral years later and indeed have
, not entirely quit prescribing yet.
was it the beck, and nod, of
- everybody, qight ncl dayj winter
i- and summer, for 51 or ,2 years, "
W In 1849 Dr. Wooden arried Miss
', JMargarst McKenzie Cowan, -who
proceeded him to the grave more
than two years ago. Their mar
' riage was blessed by a numerous
progeny . The children who are
. still i i ving are Mrs Lillian K.

: Dr. Ramsay said before his death,
probably ten years, ago, v."! - have
known Dr. Wood long and well. I
know Of no one living or dead so
intimately associated with him in
all the relations of literary, pro
fessional, political and religious
life as myself and althroug, as he
himself has said, we have not at
all times lived as Johnathon and
David or Damon and Pythias, we
are and have been friends." And
now as the years go by and time
is folding its wings,
' 'Fond memory brings the light
of other days ;aomid;ine
"The foibles of youth and the
emulations of riper years fade
away, and I feel it a duty and
privilege to say that Dr. D. B.
Wood is no ordinary man. Few
mn have been so gifted by nature
ks he. He and I went through
college together, began the prac
tice of medicine the same year and
continued the practice in the same
neighborhood, and met at the bed
side more frequently than any
other two physicians within my
knowledge and, after practicing
thus for more than half a century,
we retired about the same time. I
I bear cheerful testimony to the
popular belief that "he was a born
doctor." He was very popular
and deservidly so. His fort I
think lay in his diagnostic skill.
He barried his ability to observe
the peculiarities and eccentricities
and peculiarities of men into
diagnosing the peculiar types and
shades of diseases and he seldom
failed.
He did not seek promotion
professionally or otherwise at the
hands of his brethren and con
tented himself to serve in the
ranks where he could have led the
column.
"In ante bellum times he was
and old line Whig and Union
man. Once only, in 1858, did
he suffered himself to enter the
political arena for a seat in the
legislature. He was defeated, as
was his party, and retired to the
more congenial practice of his
profession. In the war between
the States he went with his State
and has ever since acted with the
Democratic party.
"But I would not eulogize in
discriminate. He would not
have me to do so. Dr. Wood was
of a joyous and convivial disposi
tion.
"He is a Christian and believes
in and is a regular communicant
of Christ's Episcopal Church and
now in the eveniDg of his days,
says : 4 A thought I often indulge
is that l will, it saved, see all those
I know here and all those great
personages we read of in modern
and ancient history.' "

v Please allow me space in "your
valuable paper to make a correc
tion concerning myBelf, . I noticed
in your paper issued August 31st,
that you stated that I had gone to
Raleigh to attenpt to break into
the legal ' profession and that it
was my third or fourth time to do
so. Also I noticed in your paper
issued September. 7th that, Abe
Lingle had returned from Raleigh
and again failed to break into the
legal profession.- Now, I want to
say right now that I have never
made any attempt to break or
force my way not only in the legal
profession or in any other matters,
as it seems the Editor of The
Watchman has done in my own
private matters. The Reoord of
the Supcime Court of North Car
olina show that On August 8lBt,
1909, one year ago, I registered as
an applicant conditional for li
cense to praotice law but failed to
comply with the conditions ol
registration my license was not
granted me. The Record will
Bhow that on the 29th day of Au
gust, 1910, I again registered as
an applicant for license to prao-
- 1 1 . 0 . I 1 .
tioe law out iauea to answer a
suf&cient number of questions
necessary to secure license to
praotice law.
Now, the Editor or any one else
ooncerned in my business can see
that I have only had but one fair
ohance to secure license and that
was on Aug. 29th. And I will
frankly admit that the examina
tion was too muoh for me, but I
waB very muoh relieved after read
ing the different newspapers of the
State and the comment from the
legal profession there being a
doubt aB to whether they could
have answered a sufficient number
of those questions to secure li
cense, however I am going to ap
pear again before the Supreme
Court in February. Now in writ
ing to the Editor of The Watch
man concerning this matter I have
no ill feeling against him nor any
one but feel it my duty to myself
and my many friends to make the
above statements.
With best wishes to all I remain
Yours respectfully,
A. L. Lingle
mere are several .points cur
friend has overlooked. We say
friend because we have had no in
tention of offending him, but
should we have counted his two
registrations and the number o
times he told us he was gonr?--to
Raleigh to stand an examination,.
we tninx the number could yet .be
materially increased. Ab. should
not get warm under the collar
andjpout hot-air by the column
whenever his corn-row peepers
fall upon a little innocent gibe
that is such a common lot of the
great, mighty and august visitors
to the Supreme Court of North
Carolina, U. S. A., center of the
world. We were merely giving our
friend notority, iree space, and if
he had not made such strenuous
objections to our gentle touches
he would have awakened some fine
morning and discovered himself
famous. So, our foundest hopes
decay. Ab refuses to be great or
walk in the ways of greatness. We
are greatly grieved, we shall go to
the attic and look for some sack
cloth and ashes, we refuse to be
comforted . Absolem, AbBolem.

SHOE TALK!
WINTER will soon be here and the question of
buying shoes will be up, and also the question where
can we buy the best shoes? This question will be
asked only by those who haven't tried Hamilton
Brown shoes, for those who have tried them know,
,and you couldn't get them to buy any other, for they'
are satisfied that they are getting the hest and the
best is always the cheapest.
Good, solid leather, costs but a trifle more than
a shoe that has composition insoles and counters
(shoes that are made to sell and not to wear).
We sell only solid, leather shoes, and we make
good on every pair where there are any defects iu
material or workmanship. We handle the celebrated
Hamilton Brown Shoes
and that name on a paii of shoes is a sufficient guar
antee of an all leather shoe. This Hard ware and
Rock of Gibralter shoe, with a six months' written
guarantee, are the greatest shoes ever made for long
wear and hard service. The Rock of Gibralter shoe
has the Bessimere sole with the green colored bot
torn one sole oi this leather ib supposed to wear as
long as three ordinary soles ask to tee it.
We also have the
Ha r d w a r e Shoes
for women that are waterproof, and we believe that
if weir taken care of they will wear 12 to 18 months.
We also have a good line of Pine Knot shoes
for women and children shoes that will wear all
winter. Big line of household shoes for men wora-
en and children. The.se shoes are as solid as leather
can make them, and if you want to save money on
your shoe bills this winter shoe your family with
Household shoes. We also carry a line of the
American Lady, American Gentlemen and Security
' school shoes. A watch guaranteed for 12 months for
5o cents with a pair of Security school shoesT
