A GOOD OMEN.
The news from the election held |
in the Old Ford school district Tues
day last. Is most encouraging. While
all the registered vote did not cast
their ballot either for or against the
measure, the News is giiui to know a
sufficient nymber did to make "a ma
lty of five. This election means
that the good people in that section
of the county are determined not to
bo behind, but abreast of the other
pectlons In the county.
There seems to have been some op
position towards keeping up the.
Echool through and by taxation. Why
this was we are unable to state. We
rre confident, however, that when
those who did oppose the measure
see the workings and advantages of
maintaining their school by taxation,
they will be among Its most ardent
and enthusiastic supporters.
The best way. In fact the only way.
to operate a school successfully In this
day of progress, is for all partaking
of Its advantages to support it by
taxation. Each scholar is placed on
the same footing. Is provided with the
same paraphernalia and is entitled to
receive the same instruction.
The Dally News never apprehend
ed for one moment that the citizens
of Old Ford would defeat the meas
ure. There axe too many citizens
there who realize the importance of
the coming generation being edu
cated. We congratulate them on
their victory. It was well won.
JlfKJK SHEPHERD'S DEATH. I
Dr. Kemp P. Battle, Jr., went I
to Baltimore with Judge James E.
Shepherd, has given to the Raleigh
News and Observer a statement as to
the Judge's illness and death. AJ
Judge Shepherd had so many friends
In this county we republish the phy
airian's statement:
"On Wednesday morning, while
eating quail, a small piece of bone
stuck in his throat. He was exam
ined shortly afterwards, but no bone
and no sign of the iiviuiy it might
have made was within sight. Next
day the pain continued and a swell
ing had begun in and about the open
ing of the esophagus. On Friday the
condition wan worse, aggravated by
the throat movements induced by a
Blight chronic bronchitis. On Satur
day morning his inflamed throat was
no better, his suffering and the dif
ficulties of nourishment had plainly
begun to sap his strength and relief,
if possible, was demanded. It was
decided to give him the benefit of a
consultation, and Dr. R. H. Johnston
was selected as one of the leaders in
T.W enih-e country in ihis particular
work of foreign bodies in the throat.
Judge Shepherd at once left for Bal
timore, accompanied by Mrs. Shep
herd and Dr. Battle. On a delayed
train they reached the Presbyterian
Eye. Ear and Throat Hospital at 12
at night, and were met, according to
appointment, by Dr. Johnston. He
decided at once that th<^*efe of the
throat pointed to thn probability that
the bone was still in place, and that,
without doubt, it was necessary to
fl".d p"u? positively vhe'her It wis or

if possible, en refill and thorough ex
amination by a!d of tV.e loc?.'
effect of cocaine was made, bat It xf'.s
found Impossible for the motions of
the throat fo he controlled to the re
quired extent and the effort was given
up. After a night's rest, under the
care of the hospital nurses and 'the
beautiful devotion of his wife, an
iC-ray examination was made by an
expert operator, who reported that a
alight shadow in the expected loca
tion proved to his mind the strong
probability that the bone was still
?ticking In Sis throat. It Was now
decided to give a general anaesthetic
and the beat anaestttetlzer in Baltl
. more, a man who devotes his entire
line and skill to that alone, was called
In. It was concluded that, all thing*
considered, a mixture of chloroform
and ether was In thla case best. All

have been dislodged and a wallowed,
after having lacerated the eeophagwe
and Bet up the Inflammation; hot at
what time it 1b Impoaalhle to say.
"The patient appeared to itand the
anaesthetic well and when taken to
his room was considered out of dan
ger. About 7 o'clock Dr. Johnston
left him -In a satisfactory condition
under the care of Dr. Edwards, a
general practitioner of experience, a
North Carolinian serving for a time
as resident physician, in the hospital,
and a specially engaged trustworthy
graduate nurse. 8o well satisfied did
the physicians feel that they Induced
Mrs. Shepherd to go to an adjoining
room for reat, but the nurse remain
ed with him constantly. tfr. Ed
wards saw him SV 10 o'clock, and,
finding nothing to excite uneasiness,
retired, but within easy reach In the
same building. The nurse reported1
that his condition did not change, ap
pearing peacefully asleep, till sud
denly the breathing, without warn
ing, became Irregular at 1:20. She'
instantly called Dr. Edwards, but be- 1
fore he could reach him the end
came.
"Devoted relatives and friends in
Baltimore were assiduous in giving
all posalble attentions.."
SYMPATHY FOR JUDGE COOKE.
1 News and Observer. )
The people of the entire Sta(e will
unite in sympathy with Jud^e*
Charles M. Cooke In the 'new grief

home his daughter, and now It is a

Jl'lHiK SHEPHERD'S PORTRAIT
Position AhnIkhpiI It in the State Su
preme Court Room.
Yesterday workmen were engaged
in the State Supreme Court room,
carrying out the order of the court,
by providing a suitable loration for
hanging an oil portrait of the late
Chief Justice Shepherd, lti order to
do bo. a slight rearrangement of the
rortiaits on the east wall of the court
room was necessary.

ready completed, which the family
will present to the State), will occu
py the upper portion of the south
east corner of the court room, to the"

MacRae.
PortraUs of nearly all the former
members of hie court now adorn the
walls of the Supreme court room and
they are ail excellent works of art
and strikingly faithful likenesses ?

DOLLAR WHEAT AND COST OP
FOOD.
( Washington Post.)
The promise of "dollar wheat" in
the very near future Is the chief re
liance of those who look to the op
erations of the law of supply and de
mand to knock the bottom out Of the
high cost of living. Today the wheat
market the world over is a "bear*',
market. Sullenly retreating before
an avalanche of adverse influences
both at home and abroad, the big
manipulators, who^nowadays always
are to be found liived up on the
?'bull" side, are displaying signs of
disorder and rout. American wheat
and fiour are being undersold every
where abroad, the movement from
Russia, Argentina, Canada, and Aus
tralia being so enormous that It is
dyOubtful if European importers will
need look to America as a source of
supply for a long time to come.
Wheat values at Chicago are crumb
ling; and It is believed that the I
slump will be accelerated by a heavy
movement from the interior which
has just set In. From $1.10 to $1
for May delivery is not a far cry with
the supply running so far ahead of
the demand, and some Chicago ex
perts predict that the decline will
carry values below the dollar basis.
"Dollar whept" means cheaper
bread for the masses, cheaper corn

oats are following the
traad of ?Mtt, as they nearly i
do, and a day not far distant will
wltnses a sympathetic decline In pro
visions. This probably would have
set la already but for the shortage In
hoga, which still operates to keep
prices at the top notch. ' This t
of scantiness and high values can
hardly extend to the end of the year,
ir that lonfc. The meat boycott is
having the effect of lessening the de
mand, while cheaper feed Is bound to
fatten the' sources of supply. Alto
gether, the present outlook is that
the laws of trade will have solved
the problem before the laws of Con
gress could give effect to more draa
j tic methods. 1
