An Appreciation. C. W. Hunt. Henderson May is dead. I read the lines in the Observer this morn ing and could not keep back the tears, as the mind ran back twenty one years ago to the winter of 1888 and 1889, the time I first went to work on the News to make it a paper, aud come in contact with this good friend, now gone, who throughall the years of toil there by the writer was his staunch friend. In that time he read the News as truth, loved the editor, and was promptness personified in the pay ment of every obligation, financial or otherwise. In those years men tioned we were drawn closer togeth er by the grim reaper, death, which took two of the brothers away, whom 1 helped VO bury, and whose epitaphs I wrote. An honest man cannot forget his friends, and I feel that 1 must pay this tribute to Henderson May, The last time I saw him he was as full of hope as a child. We were on a train together, and it had beep some years since he had seen mej, and sat opposite me for some time before he located me; but he mad^ up for all that in the sincerity witli which he assured me of his sorro:^ at not knowing me at sight. Then for miles we talked about things past and of the future; for years ho had planned to give up the railroac and live in ease on the fine farm he bad made near Burlington. I en couraged him to do St» by all meann and he expected to, but the love for the locomotiv^ kept him there, and now the leveler (»f us all has moved him for all time from us. Simple in life, honest in purpose, i,rue to his friends, sympathetic in nature, loving his family, there has gone out from that home a man, yes, a man. God bless his memory. There were few like him. A Sadden Death. Mrs. Maty Carter, (better knowii as aunt Polly Smith,) died quite buddenly at the Morrow House iu this city last Saturday night about 11 o’clock. Mrs. Carter, who was an auHt of Mrs. Morrow, with M'hoM she bad made her home for several years, bad just returned f.'om Orange county, where she at tended the funeral of her niece, Mrs. Careathers, and was to all ap pearances as well as usual, but soon after going to bed the family notic ed an unusual noise iu her room and upon investigating fouiid her in the grasp of the grim reaper, death. M rs. Carter was in her 7Qih: year and had been a widovf since the Civil War, her husband having died in a hospital during his service in the great conflict. The remains ivere carried to Bethlehem church, Orange county Sunday morning and the funeral was conducted Sunday afternoon by Rev. C. N. Mormw, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Church Cemetery. WASHINGTON LEHER. From our Keijuiar Correspondent. Washiagton, Jan. 15.—Whilethe special message of the Presidetit was temporarily overshaded by more sensational subjects from the news paper standpoint still it was receiv ed throughout the country with al most unanimous approval. Nordid it create any anxiety in financial and industriai circles many railroiid mag nates admitting that legislation carrying out the President’s recom mendations would not be hostile to their interests. In fact it was so intended. Mr Taft has at heart the best interests of the whole peo ple, aud proposes that all new legis lation shall be fair to all. The Ballinger- Pinchot contro versy is now ;entered in the invertti gating committee selected by both Houses of Congress ’ and all fair- minded people will await the report of this committee before taking sides in the matter. * Tliere is uo doubt that the investigation will be thorogh and absolutiely impartial and the de cision will be accepted as final. While the newspapers are devot ing columns to a discussion of more or less seosational matter regarding the President and membere of both Housi 8 of Congress, Mr. Taft a: d his Cabiwet officers as well as Re publican Senators and Representa tives are biisy io their official capa cities. It is agreed that much work is to be accomplished at this session and comqiitiees are unasually busy with hearings and in the preparation of billsi The public at large hard ly appreciate the immense amount oi work that devi>lves upon the President ^nd his Cabinet and mem bers of Congress. Many such of ficials work from early morning till midnight. ‘ High pHces and consequent high cost of livjtig continues to be a Schools Lose $23,000 by Prohibition Union Republican. State ])rohibition deprived the city of Winston of just about |23,000 in the way of license derived from saloons prior to the enactment of the prohibition law. The city re ceives $19,500 from the county, and the amonut lost by the pronibition act will have to come out of the general fund. It is estimated that it will require $30,000 to keep in operation during 1910 both the white and colored schools. It is to be hoped that by an economic ad ministration, the City Alderman may in a great measure make up the loss of the $23,000 aud judging by their last meeting in dispensing with the office of City Eugineer and one of the street forces under Capt Rid dle they are making a good start. Death of Mrs. W. G. Careathers. Mrs, W. G. Careathero died sud denly in her home, at Oaks, Orange county, last Thursday night shortly after retiring. Mrs* Careathers was apparently in her usual health up to the time of retiring and her hus band hearing her making an unusual noise arose to investigate, but by the time he could summon assist ance that was in tlie house, she was dead. Mrs. Careathers was nearly 46 years of age and was apparently the picture of health. She was a sister of Mrs. S. A. Morrow, of this city, besides a large circle of other relatives and acquaintances who were shocked to learn of her sudden death. The funeral was conducted at Bethlehem Presby terian church Saturday morning at 11 o’clock by her pastor. Rev. Dr. Mebane, and the remains were laid to rft^t in the Church Cemetery.^ Advertise in The Dispatch. burning ^isHue. T'i)e proniinence given to the subject has however, resulted in acquainting the people witti the fact that tlie present high prices are not due to the tariff al though many merchants have taken a Ivautage of the situation and in giving th(^ir reasons for rai-sing pri ces have dishonestly attributed it to the tariff. But duties were reduced or remain stationery in all the ne cessaries of life and the dishonest psice raiser is being found out. Little is now being said in any quarter against the new tariff It is woiking perfectly and the results of its operation are giving us unprece dented records iu every feature of our commercial life. The revenue, too, is constantly on the gain it be ing already nearly $40,000,000 in excess of a year ago. The President and party leaders are being constan tly congratulated ou the outcome and the promised period of prospe rity seems to be assured. There is no longer any conceal ment of the reason why certain magazines are so vicious iu their op position to the Republican party. They believed that they could com pel the patting oi print paper on the free list, and because the tariff only makes a substantial redution they propose to take revenge by un warranted and untrue attacks on the administration and dominant party. The statement in the President’s messages that a large part of the postal deficit was? due to the votes on magazines has again stirred them up and they propose to do all kinds of things. These magazine editors do not seem to realize that low prices and low wages go together, and that both advertising and subscriptions would fall off tremendously it the tariff was further reduced,. Of course the importei’S for a time would be in clover but eventually we should be where we were in 18- 96 under the Wilson-Gormao law. To eontiiiue jirosperity we must do our own work and keep out com peting poducts that if admitted free or at a low duty would shut up our mills and give us idle million The Democrats are making most strenuous efforts io hold the Sixth Missouri Congressional Districi,, the late De Armond’s successor will be elected February 1st.

It is be coming a serious question how long the Legislature of North Carolinai is >oing to allow ottier Universities and other States to dra’» away the big men of the University.

Animal Rims Seven MUes Ahead of Train, Falls Through Tre»* tler—Shot, Yet Arises and Runs kw«y, Durbam Herald. Mr Pope from Chicago a story of the rail in which a .hni^ 3egi tining near Roxbom ru lis seven miles ahead of the trHin, .fails through thei trestle is shoI and ritns away.- , ^ The series of uncommon things U'ok place Sunday night. Thse pas senger train due liere at 9:45 ran late and the horst) was the cause. As tho train came by thie Person capital ft big blaek^orse rart up6n the track and leading the locomotive a chase, ran seven miles before reaoh ing a trestle. The animal fell at that place and the train stopped. Various passengers made su^;gestioii as to the disposal of the bejist but the animal was fastened in tlie tim bers and nothing could remr»ve it. There was one faction favorable to delay and careHql removal of the animal while another took the view ' that the beast must have broken a leg and that it opuld not possibly be worth anythiog after the accident. The fireman of the engine was de tailed to ishoot the horse as a mercy and walking close t(» it, he fired, A rope was then attached to the neck of the horse and tied to the engine which backed oaf p’jlling the horse. It dragged the animal from the trestle and :after getting it entir ely off the rope was loosed. Here: the horse shook off the biody ot earth, raised up and fiiirly burnt the^ wind in another direction. Whet her it was the dying streggth of the- beast or its tremendous vitality that backed such a noble, sprint isn^t known, >?ut Mr poi^ smyj* the' train is full of people who will corrobomte the story. He is intereisted in the matter, having a desiife tO; know whether the ariimaljdi^ of not* It is presumed that the firejnan did not strike a vital spot^wh4|i^;h6 ^pulled the trigger of the,jeun aijd th^^^ the horse did not hurt its leg. , Positive oath is taken that this stoiy is true and that it oocured upon the Norfolk & Western road. But for thesievemi witnesses who tell practically the same story, and make its truth better matter than the fiction of Dr Cook and Mr and Mrs Ananias and Sapphira news papers ’would consider themselves in bad business giving pirculation to this outside the Munchausen oolumn. The train ierew doesn't g^ve the ha ha to it and it has ail the necessary .credentials, if it does lack enough of the possibilities of belief to make it circulate easilv. For Sale.
