Death of Mr. J. G. Byrd.
Mr. J. G. Byrd died Friday afternoon
at his home in Linden, this cpunty,
after several months' illness, aged 70
years.
He Is survived by a widow, who was
Miss Mary Smith and the following
children: Mr. W. J. Byrd, of Fayette
ville; Mr. R. P. Byrd, of Scotland
Neck; Mrs. F. S. Stockton, of Greens
boro and Messrs. George and Dan and
Misses Fannie and Isabella, of Lin
den. . 'The funeral took place Saturday
morning at 11 o'clock and the inter
ment was in the family cemetery. '
Mr. Byrd was a gallant Confederate
soldier, serving through the entire
four years of the war,, and Just before
the close of the war was wounded at
Petersburg, being shot twice, as the
result of which he lost one of his
legs, and a thumb.
Mr. Byrd' was a well-to-do farmer,
had been a member of the Methodist
church for 35 years and was a man
greatly beloved by all who knew him.

From Monday's Daily.
The Methodists of Fayettevllle wor
shipped in their new and beautiful
church yesterday for the first time. No
doubt It felt good to return home af
ter an absence of., nearly twelve
months. Large congregations were
present at both morning and evening
service, including a number of out of
town visitors, and words of admira
tion were heard on every hand for thtf
stately and beautiful building, which
Indeed seems almost Ideal both for
beauty and utility.
The church and Sunday School au
ditoriums were thrown Into one, and
comfortably seated an audience at
each service of about 800 or more,
with seats to spare. The accoustic
properties are all that could be de
sired, and the bowl or "incline" floor
permits a full view of the speaker by
every one present. The buHding fully
meets the requirements of a modern
house of worship, and would do cred
it to any city In the State. Those wll
posted say there are few finer church
buildings In the State.
The Sunday School marched In a
body from the Armory at 9 o'clock to
i he new Sunday School room, the pro
cession being led by Mr. Hiram Wha
ley and-little Miss Gefaldine Smith,
fit types of youth and eld age, which
work together side by S'rte In the Sun
day School.
The morning sermon was delivered
by the pastor. Rev. G. F. Smith, while
Dr. Gibbs, the presiding elder, preach
ed at night. The Presbyterian and
Baptist churches omitted night ser-
v?, and the two congregations unit
ed with the Methodists, both Dr. Hall
and Mr. Falrley occupying Beats In the
pulpit.
A collection was taken on the
church debt and $7,000 or more' was
pledged,
A special musical programme was
v.iil 'Pndered by a full croir, and ad
ded much to. the enjoyment of the
services.

Dr. R. J. Willingham at Hope Mills.
It was a rare treat which the cltl-
sens of Hope Mills had Monday night meeting to continue during the week, South River Presbyterian church on
Garland, N. C, June 22, 1908.
One of the saddest deaths which has
occurred in our midst lately was that
of Rev. R. C. Jackson, of Beulah, who
died at Mr. James Rich's on Sunday
last. He was a minister of the Bap
tist church and was pastor of the
Free Will Baptist church of Gar
land. On Saturday he came to Gar
land to fill his regular appointment at
that church
While spending the time Saturday
with Mr. Rich he was taken ill with
acute indigestion. Two physicians
were summoned and all that medical
aid and kind friends could do was
done, but to no avail. On Sunday af
ternoon he passed quietly away.
His remains were carried on Mon
day to Robert's Grove, his birthplace,
by way of Fayettevllle -and Dunn. His
wife and children, who had been sum
moned during his sickness accompa
nied his remains to Robert's Grove.
Rev. Mr. Jackson was forty-three
years of age, nad Been lor sixteen
years a minister of the gospel, and
borer the reputation of being one of the
best men of Sampson County. Our
entire community sympathizes with
his family in their sudden affliction.
Rev.' Kenneth McCasklli, of Atkin
son, filled his regular appointment at
in listening to a splendid address from
the Rev.'R. J. WlUIhgham, D. D., sec
retary of the Foreign Mission Board
of Southern Baptists.
Dr. Willingham has recently return
ed from a. long tour to the different
mission fields in Japan, China and In
dia. He Is a magnetic speaker, de
voted to his work 'and has a charm
ing delivery.
He came -to Hope Mills to see his
son and .wife, the people learned he
was coming and requested of him an
address. He had a large audience,
and thrilled his hearers as lie took

mingled pathos with humor. . Undoubt

It would be interesting to hear them
talk of then and now. It would be hard
to foretell how long the struggle will
last ,and harder still to name the nom
inee. The people from the Western
mrt of the State are there In grp
numbers to work for Craig. They
claim that they have not had a gov
ernor in 46 years. The people from
the eastern part of the State are fight
ing equally hard to nominate Kitchln,
while, Mr. Home's friends think his
chances are getting better all the
time. There will be no factions af
ter the conventn, but all will go
to work to roll up the largest majority
ever given in the State.
Following la a letter which caused
sensation among the delegates,
which we find in the Raleigh News
and Observer:
"'The western section of North
Carolina has made up its mind to have
something from this convention', said
man from a far western county yes-
leraay. we nave not nad a square
deal In the Democratic party. We
want Locke Craig, but if we do not
get him, we will ask that a western
man, (and we have him), be nominat
ed for Secretary of State or Treasurer.
we do not get the Governor, we
should have both of these places.'
This significant note was sounded
by a man of influence in his part of District of Columbia, 1; Hawaii, 2;
the State and he was in dead earnest
The Fifth Congressional District has
had Its share of Democratic candi
dates and the. four western district
demand something. You must not for
get the West.' At present the State
officers are as follows:
Governor Glenn, from Forsyth,
(the Fifth District); Secretary of
State Mr. J. Bryan Grimes, of Pitt;
State Treasurer, Mr. Benjamin R. La
cy, of Wake; Superintendent of Pub
lic Instruction, Prof. J. Y. Joyner, of
Wayne; all of the candidates for Cor
poration Commissioners are from the
East and the Insurance Commissioner
la front Vance county. There will be
trouble if the East tries to hog all the
offices this year. The West will make
a vigorous protest. In the event that
Mr. Craig is defeated for the first
place on the ticket a candidate tor
Secretary of State and one for State
Treasurer will be run out These are
developments of the last few days. Mr.
Craig's friends declare that he will be
nominated, but they are prepared to
offer other candidates for one or more
ot the more cherished State offices."
