His Liie and Character Tribute to his Memory by American George Lode of 3Iasoiis. Hsv J. N Hoggard ' as born :ov- 27th, 1624, in Bertie County, C. ajid died" on Wednesday evening. May 10, 1899, at the home of his son-in-law, W. H. Pjudeh, in the village of Severn, Northampton County, N. C. His tarents were John No r Ilet Hoggard and Marina-Hog-, sard who was Miss Mason before their marriage, to whom were born four sons and onedaughter Rev. John N. Boggard was ban tised by Eider Henry White and joined Capehart's churcij about lSOUaud soon took an active part in prayer meetings. Very soon he commenced teaching, aud was ortlainod about the year 1852 Kev.O.'H Fro t man being out; o. the ordaining presbytery. Although Bro Hoggard never enjjyed the ad vantages of a col lege education, yet. he was in every .sense of the word weii ed ucated; as au expounder of the scriptures he had but few supe riors He was a great man in many respects great in origi nality, great in wisdom, great iu humility and simplicity, and g" eat in knowing when to keep sdent as well as when So speak. lie vas a fluent '.speaker aud at times, wheu at his oest, he was sublimely eloquent. He never lik ed to put himself forward, or seem to be oth'cious in matters oe fore 'our union meeting and as sociations. He was an houest tnau in the true sense, of the word, strictly honest in his tinau ci.il dealings. He never liked to pledge amounts for any objects, but preferred to pay t h e ca s h . He was honest in his- religions convictions, not being willing to iccept the views of any man on int rpretiug scripture unless he"1 was satisfied ,that it accorded with God's word. He was as gen ileand as pliable as a woinau in iealing with the members of his "hurches, and always showed great forbearance in dealing with offending 'brethren'; he knew how to chastise as well as how to maintain the respect and esteem of offenders. As au evidence of his wisdom, strength and popularity, he was the pastor of Mt. Carmel church for thirty rive years, of Potecasi forty two years, aud of Mwherriu forty four years consecutively. From . the records of these, churches no ruau ever served his people with less friction, or with greater success than he did for such long periods of time. While under his charge there were added to Meherriu church 541 members, to Mt. Carmel about i50. and to Potecasi a large number. No man was ever heid in higher esteem by his members md no field of churches ever worked with greater harmony. The future only cau reveal the wisdom and usefulness of our de parted brother Hoggard. He did not worship men nor did he allow hL love and respect for them to keep him from differ ing f rota them when his con vie tions were not in accord with theirs. He knew .how to choose a subject; how to analyze it, and h w to develop each part of it He del not try to make any dis piay of ins gifts, yet he acknowl edged that he could tell when he had nieicliO(j well wilhout being toid of it His heaUh gave way after the death of his Ue voted w.fe m tiie fall of 189S. and in the spring of ;he present year he had a vartial stroke of paralysis, but his mmd cemained -clear to -tiie ed.

Newspaper Charity The Progress would be glad to continue to publish free notices of all charitable eaterlainments if it could afford to contribute so freely to every worthy cause which presents itself But it can" not. Its advertising space is its stock iu t rade upon the sale of which it must largely depend foi support, la the future, there fore, it will charge for local no tii es of ill charitable entertain ments the objects of which are to raise money. This rule will be strictly and impartially enforced. Hereafter our contributions to charity wil1 be made in a direct and more i - practical manner, and so as not to interfere with the ordinary rules of business. The Char- iottsville Progress. This is a just and sound busi ness rule, and ought to be adopt ed by all newspapers. Tne de mands upon newspapers for chraity work is exhaustless, and no matter how cheerfully they are acceded to it is seldom the beneficiaries even so much as think of returning thanks. L'hey say: un, well, you want some, ling to fill up your paper with anyhow!" In their ignorance they do not know that each ofiice has always more matter in type than it can make room for. The Dispatch has often had as much as forty or fifty columns of mat ter iu type awaiting publication day after day. It would be amusing, too if it were not so irritating, to see how various committees, asiocations, &c. congratulate themselves and claim credit for work alleged to have been done, when really three fourths of the work has been done by the newspapers! We have known entesprises to be launched, boomed, and brought to success through tbt efforts of newspapers, who when the time came for apportioniu' crediL were not so much as men tioned. Newspaper men ought to do their art in ail work of charity aud public spirit, but it is unreas- tiable to ask of them to consider t ei r gifts as valueless and every body else's as priceless almost. The true rule in such cases i- that announced by tho Progress.

The Courts Likely to be Called Upou to Decide the Owner. ship of a Valuable Coin. A silver dollar of the vintage of 1804, worth $10,000 icad ver-Uy" tently got away from its owner, and is now held by a Racine. Wis., merchant, until tne original pos sessor of the coin can be discov ered. The most valuable coin ever minted in this country is the dol ar of 1804. Only four of these were struck off, and so far as is known only threearein existence now. A munismatist or iNew York laid $10,000 for the last oue hat came to light a few years ago. The dollar in question. which is worth so much money in cold cash, came into the pos session of Lindislay Altmann, a clerk in the dry goods store of T. Harnett of Racine. Wis. It was tendered by a lady in pay ment of a bill of goods. Four months ago, the. woman. who thus held unwittingly a for tune in her hands, came into Har nett's store, bought a small bill of goods, and handed the clerk. Mr. Altmann. a dollar, Mr. Alt mann is somewhat interested in old coins, and, without knowing the value of this particular dollar. he put it into his pocket and handed over to the cashier anoth er dollar, which did not have the earmarks of antiquity. For sev eral months he carried the dollar as a sort of pocket-piece, ignorant of the fact that it is quoted worth $200, at leas. Finally he inquir ed at the bank the value of the coin and was informed thatvit would bring $500. Altmann was greatly surprised and in order to ascertain the cor rectness of the bank statement. .e sent the coin to a friend in Chicago, asking him to show it to a collector and obtain a quotation on it. The first numismatist who saw it, offered to pay $1,500 for it This was more of a good fortune than Altman could stand. all at once, and he discussed it with some of his intimate friends He began to look up coins, and their value thoroughly, and his ast information was to the point that at a sale in New York City a dollar of the same vintage as the one which he treasured ma brought $10,000. AltMan's fancy called up vis ions of all the enjoyments of life which could realize from the pro ceeds of his 1804 dollar. He had been a somewhat enthusiastic amateur actor, had played "Ham let," and Roger in 44The Two Or phans," and $10,000 would be a fine capital with which to start a theatrical company, with himself as its star. Finally Altman n's employer. Mr. Harnett, became aware of the story of the valuable coin, and the question arose as to its right ful ownership. Altmann argued that he bad accepted the dollar on his own responsibility, and that if it had turned out bogus he would have been called upon to make it good. He also said that the woman who gave it to him in payment of her bill did so because she traded with hici cn account of his "nationality, he being a Bo hemian. If he had not cierked these, the woman would have car ried her money elsewhere, assert ed Altmann. With this explanation Harnett, the proprietor of the store is de- cidedlv dissatisfied. He- holds that the money was passed overj his counter in payment of his goods, and that the moment ii was paid it became his property and belonged to his cash drawer He contends that the'" woman should be found, and the pro ceeds of the sale of the original dollar returned to her. The dry goods man wants the dollar brought back to Racine. pu in a bank there and held till tho woman is found If every means of finding her have beenexhaust ed Le will claim-jthej-dollar and protect his claim in the courts, if necessary. He will not say now whether be is willing to divide the proceeds of the sale with his Bohemian clerk. Meanwhile the fatef al dollar is being eagerly sought by Chicago enthus'asts, and Mr. Harnett is hnctr nnfivArinv th nnr-distanr.f messages that pour in b the i dozen every day. Altmann Jj j looks worried and feverish. H? ' j receives a p!e uf mail ihul would give heart d! aw to a huieai1 merchant: Ad the letters cou I jtaiu inquiries about hat -almign 1 dollar and Mr. Altmaui . u. - f j fortunately, the ownership ut i: ; jcoiu being iu .uit,u;e, uowu'i 1 iuow what to ay to a;l ins toi -' respondents. j Tne funniest part of -the story is that the woman who originally had the coin, carried it for three years, afraid to pass it, because she feared that it was a counter feit. That much Altman has ad mitted to his many iuterviewers. The fact of the matter is, howev er, that Altman has ascertained the-tdentity of the woman, and has arniugvd to share the pro ceeds of the sale of the valuable coin with her. Her name he will not give, though, and it is douot ful, therefore, that he knows her at all. It all depends upon the woman whether Harnett shall recover the dollar and share its proceeds with her, or whether it shall be- loDg to Altmann. the clerk to be shared witu her. or whether it all be altogether given back to her. Both sides have engaged attorneys, and the question, "Whose dollar is it?" will proba bly have to be answered in a court of law. bt. Louis Repub lic. "To err is human.

Tie Littleton News Reporter recently made thefollowingeditori al reference to Vice-President aud General Manager St. John.of the Seaboard Air Line, which voices the sentiments of the Pat ron and Gleaner precisely: The consolidation of the new Seaboard Air Line interests soon to take place will cause a revision of officers and some men will lose their official heads. Who these uufortunate officials are is not yet known, but wo confidently believe there is no man connect ed with the new Seboard Air Line, or any other system, who is more universally popular with employees and patrons of the road over which he is vice-presi dent and general manager than is Mr. -E. St. John. His business tact, enterprise anq general in terest in the company, the em ployees and patrons is known and spoken of wherever the Sea board Air Line is known. Under his management the Seaboard Air Line has been officered with men from the section foremen to his next in office by men who are a credit to any organization. Only safe business men are wan ted and employed, hence life and property are guarded with scru tiny. Under his management the Seaboird Air Lino has grown to be one of the greatest railroad enterprises of the South, and the section of the country traversed by. the system can justly be called the New South. It is confidently ho ped b y t ho u s au d s o f e m ploy ee s and patrons of the road that Mr. E. St John may long occupy the office of vice -president and geft eral manager of the Seaboard'Aii Line which he has so highly hoi ored and faithfully held for a number of years. Is it Right for an Editor to r333ain3a Patent Medicines? It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend auy of the various proprietary medi ;ines which flood the v arket, yet as a preven tive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word fcr Chamberlain's colic, choleia and diarrho a remedy We have known and used thismedi- ciue in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy wo dd save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited We do not believe in depending implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamber atefs diarrhoea remedy were kept on hand and administered at the in ception of an sttack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases thj presence of a physician wouk not be required.

Some years before that time, one Rowland Hill, the fathei of the "penny post," introduced into Englard the "sticking plas ters," as the adhesive stamps were then contemptuously call ed.
