Who is there that does no feel in his heart the deepest sym pathy for the bereaved families of of the two victims of last Fri- nav's terrible accident, ana weep. There is a sadness in fpflrs. Thev are not marks of weakness but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, of un speakable love. It there were wanting any argument to prove that man is not mortal we would look for it in the strong, convul sive emotion in the braast, when the soul has been deeply agitated when the fountains of eeling are rising and tears are gushing forth in crystal streams. O, speak not harshly of the stricken one weeping in silenqg. Break not the solemnity by boisterous mirth or intensive footsteps; leave them alone with the sacred society of their inner self. De spisenota woman's tears; they are what make her an angel- link in the golden chain to be clasped in another sphere. Scofl not if the stern heart of man a M . m hood be sometimes melted in sympathy tears and smiles are the blessed "boundary line be tween beast and man." They are painful tokens, but still most holy. There is also relief and pleasure in weeping an awful pleasure ! If there were none on earth to shed a tear for us, this world would be dark indeed; and with no one to drop a tear into our open grave we could not die in peace. Tears general ly tremble in our eyes when we are happy, and glisten like pearls or dewdrops on the lily's bell, but the extremes of joy or soi row are too great, too deep for tears alone, and no writer can express the feelings then in one's heart. It Is a singular and striking fact that the dying never weep. The sobbing circle of friencs around the death bed call forth no responsive tears irom the dy ing. Perhaps the beauties of the heavenly landscape aretbeing unrolled before their spiritual vision. They are now face to face with angelic beings and the eternal varities of untried and endless existence. There is no weeping in that . blessed abode, "and God Himself shall wipe away all tears from thine eyes." Don't forget that the summer hotel veranda is the happy hunt ing ground of the most merciless gossips on earth. Since the Democrats have held their State Convention the Res publicans are seriously thinking about taking Russell out of the field. They realize that he has no"show against our man and that he cannot even carry the strength of his own party. Senator Quay knows a band wagou when he sees it, and will start on his second journey to Canton next week. It is curious that Mr. Piatt, whem scoffers de light to call "Me Too," is the only Republican statesman plucky enough to maintain his original position to the end. A contemporary reads a sol emn moral lesson, with pictures in it, to the Japanese for their barbarity in allowing famishing narents in the province of V A. Kwang-si to sell their daughters. It is indeed a melancholy state of affairs, but the iact that the province of Kwang-si is in China may be thought to mitigate the guilt of the Japanese. The great Fleming trial in New York came to aa end last week and resulted in an acquittal of the prisoner. The case be came of national interest because of the circumstances surround ing it, and the results were no surprise to those who kept up with the testimony. It cost the State of New York $20,000, from beginning to end, to find out what everybody knew the first week the trial began. Cooper Caught. Joseph Cooper, the murderer of Alfred Stafford, a full account of which appearee in this paper last week, has been captured and is now confined in the Cam den county jail. He admits his guilt but refuses to make any excuse or statement of the affair. 1 Here was at one time some talk of brineiner him here for safe-keeping, but it is hardly probable that this will be done now. at least until inst before court convenes in September. Cooper is a poor man with a large family left dependent upon the charity ot the community une wno knows lniormea uie writer yesterday that his family was really in destitute circum stances, and help would be ap preciated. Milwaukee B. Y. P. U. A. Convention. At Milwaukee, Wis.

Joseph Cooper was brought from the upper end of the county last Friday and lodged in jail to wait trial in trie coming: term of Superior Court which will be in September. Owing to the heavy rain-fall Sunday afternoon some of the farmers have been unable to work. However, most of them are through with their corn, and haven't much to do except view the fields and give their gardens their last process of daily labors, ,1 for they are very essential to a family living in the country. The choir at Berea Church vis ited Geneva Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon, and when the Sunday School convened they rendered delightful music by singing some of their melodious hymns that had been prepared for the occasion. It will ever be remembered in the minds and hearts of the hearers who live on the neighboring shores. Zackariah Stubbs. COLUMBIA, Tyrrell Co. The people are preparing for the coming election. Crops are looking fine in this section and the farmers are busy laying them by. Doctors of this county say there will be more sickness this year than heretofore. Irish potato crops are over and the new sweet potato are being put on the market. It is thought here that the Peoples Party and the Democrats will nominate the same men for officers. Enoch Bateman, the greatest potato raiser of this section, has! planted 1 5 acies for the market I during the year 1896 and 1897. S. 1 As a result of over-exertion on his bicycle little Willie Brinkley was thrown into a fit of conges tion a few days ago. Where is the Elizabeth City Baseball team this season?

TWO MEN KILLED. While Hauling out the Steamer Newbern on Friday last. It is hardly necessary for the Fisherman & Farmer to tell again the terrible story of the awful accident of last Friday Already the facts are deeply im pressed upon the minds aud hearts of this communitv, and yet, it seems like a horrible dream; a prematura departure of two souls to the presence of their Maker, and two families left fatherless. jjrieny reiaiea, tne immense marine railway of Scott & Jew ell had just been completed, and during the process of hauling out the Steamer Newberne,which was the first undertaking of any consequence, the belting slipped from the main driving wheel just as the work was about com pleted, and the large iron vessel began to decend rapidly back into the river. To stop this Mr waiter M. Jewell, manager of the yard, put a piece of scant.ing under the pulley from which the belt had slipped, and aided by the engineer, Mr. Solomon Bray, began prying, when the boxing gave way and immediately the fly-wheel bursted into a thousand pieces and flew in every direc tion. The shaft, bent into zig zag shape, was hurled through the side of the building, and the bodies of Mr. Jewell and Mr. Bray mangled almost beyond recognition. Just what struck them nobody will ever know. Mr. Jewell's right leg and hip were crushed to a pulp and the flesh on other parts of his body terribly lacerated. Both of Mr. Bray's legs were almost entirely severed at the knee and other wounds of serious nature were found on his head and hnrKr Both suffered excruciatingly, but said only a few words after the accident, though entirely con scious up to a few minutes be fore death relieved them from their agony some two hours later. At the time of the accident there were one or two others in the engine room, but they es caped unhurt. Mrs. Jewell was standing at the window, and providentially jumped into the water below and escaped without injury. She was there to enjoy the success of her husband's en terprise, when his body, terribly mingled and almost a lifeless mass, was hurled at her feet. This being the inauguration of the plant a large number of pecu pie of both sex were present to lend their encouragement by presences and enthusiasm. Whv more were not hurt is a mystery. The news of the accident soon flew over the town and at once became the topic of conversation People were anxious to do what they could, but the injured were beyond human aid, and their families too grief-strickeii to be interrupted with offers of sym pathy and consolation. Mr. Walter M.Jewell was born at Greensboro, Md. His age wcia j i jcdis iriis iraae was shipbuilding, having worked at number of large yards, including four years' service at the United States Navy Yard at Portsmouth, where he was well known. He was Past Chancelor Commander, Lee Lodge. K. of P., of Berkley, and a member of the Uniform Rank of the same lodge. Mr. Jewell was also a member of the Norfolk B. P. Order of Elks, in which city he was well known and had many friends. Nine years ago Mr. Jewell led to the marriage alter Miss M. H Elliott, and the result of this uuion is four small .children, which survives him, the oldest of which is only 7 years of age. He came to Elizabeth Citv about eight months. ago and la- bored night and dav to oerfeet and complete the plant, which will always remain a monument to his memory. The funeral took place from Christ Church Saturday after noon, anu was aiienaea Dy a large number ot sympathizing friends. The funeral of Mr. Bray also took place on Saturday after noon and was largely attended. Mr. Bray was about 47 years old and an engineer by trade lie was a native of this section and esteemed by all who knew him He leaves a family con: sistiug of a wife and three child, ren, the youngest being about 12 years of age. Of ill health, despondency and despair, gives way to the sunshine of hope, happiness and health, upon taking Hood 3 barsapanlla, lecauso it gives renewed life and vitality to the blood, and through that imparts nerve stren J gth, vigor and energy j tne whole body. Head lf((jJ this lcttcr; "Hood's Sar Ijvy. saparilla helped me wonderfully, changed sickness to health, gloom to sun shine. No pen can describe what I suf fered. I was deathly sick, had sick head aches every few days and those terrible tired, despondent feelings, with heart troubles so that I could not go ap and down stairs without clasping my hand over my heart and resting. In fact, it would almost take my breath away. I suf fered so I did not care to live, yet I had much to live for. There is no pleasure in life if deprived of health, for life becomes a burden. Hood's Sarsaparilla does far more than advertised. After taking one bottle, it is sufficient to recommend itself." Mbs. J. E. Smith, Beloit, Iowa. nn Sarsaparilla Is the One True Blood Purifier.
