fiuenced by the spirit of truth
and love to perfect obedience that
we may enjoy the Divine appro-

Third, that we so live that
vhen our trials on earth shall
have ceased we may be raised to
the enjoyment of immortal life
in that kingdom where faith and
bope shall never end.

that we shall meet the departed
brother again meet to part no
more.
Fifth, that we extol his many

Death-of Mr. J. B. Andrews.
Mr. J. B. Andrews died Feb.
24th, 1910, at 11 o'clock, aged 46
years, one month and one day.
When the death angel visited
the home of Mr. J. B. Andrew
at east Burlington and claimed
for victim the most precious'one
in the home, the lather. Our
heart was saddened to hear of
this death, but we are sure he
has gone to his reward. He wi-l
be missed in the home, not only
in the home He left but in all the
homes he come in contact vdth.
We had the pleasure of living
near him for nearly four years,
and became very much attached
to him. We very often called
him father. It mattered not how
busy he was if ^lled to visit the
sick he respond^; He enjoyed
ministering to ^ sick and af
flict^.
He will not only be missed in
the home but in the entire com
munity of east Burlington. We
extend, to the bereaved family
our h^rtfelt sympathy.
Resolved, that we humbly bow
to the will of Him who always
deals gently and mercifully vfith
His children. That we extend
to the bereaved family our sincere
sympathy in this dark hour. Let
us all strive to be as good and
useful as he was, and when we
shall have finished our journey
on earth, may we all meet him
around God’s White Throne in
Heayeh.

Rocky Mount, N. C., March 10;
—Things are all astir iri Cooper’s
township Nash County, Cjipttir-
ing an illicit distillery in full ope
ration by Sheriff Charlie Johnson
and three deputi^ last night has
been the prime Cause Of the activ
ity and trouble. While captur
ing the^ distillery was important
the main interest lies in the fact
that the ■ life Of, a, farmer of
that section has been - imperilled.
He was waylaid last night,
while coming horrie froirj, Na$h'-
ville. Three men flourish pisitols
to verify their statements that
he “must leave the cOunty, ” un
der threat to kill him. His fami
ly and to destroy his property.
Yesterday afternoon shortly
before night Sheriff Johnson and
Deputies Wheelas^ Barnes and
Boddie discovered a distillery in
full operation about a mile from
Thompson’s Mill, Cooyers Town
ship, eight miles from Rocky
Mount
The still was operating in full
blast at forty-^five gallons cslpa-
city. ■ ■
When th^ officers advanced they
diseovered a citizen of that sec
tion, Berry Carpenter engaged at
the task of opei-atirig it.
However, Mr. Carpenter was
not taken by the officers.
The distillery W8,s taken arid,
about four hundred gallons of
beer was poured out. v
After capturing the Outfit, the
sheriff left the distillery in ch^ge
of his deputies.
Going to one the honaes heareist
in the neighborhood^; he; ordered
J. R. Vick to hitch his team, and
carry the outfit to Nashville.
The farmer protested arid s^k-
ed to be relieved of the task; but
the officer did notxeUove him as
ordered by the sheriff,, and Vick
carried the still to NaSl^Uo last
night.
During' the early hours of last
night the home of Vick was visits*
ing by three men who stayed well
under the cover of darkness and
were careful not to let their
idenity be known.
They inquired th6 whereabouts
of Vick. When told that he had
gone to Nashville, as ordered,
they stated for the wife’s bene
fit that he would never rOtum
alive.
They made further thrifts
against his family that threw the
farmer’s wife into a great state
of unrest. It would be a hard
matter to realize the an^ish
th'TOugh which she passed during
the wait for her husband's return.
Their threats did not end With
this.
Wlrile Mr. Vick was returning
to his home, and when within
about a mile of his home, his mu
les were stopped by being girabbr
ed by the bridles jand araia aflour-
ish of pistols, he was waylaid,
and to his pleadings i^perfaftps
due the fact that he lives today.
When he left Nashville he load
ed his wai^on with fertilisers.
The first question directed to hirii
was: ;
‘'You takie a load and bring a
load, do you?” Followiri^ that
they heap^ abuse upon him and
threatened his life, amid the fre
quent brandishing of pistols.
Finally Mr. Vick 'was tum^
loose, but not without a threat
that if he ever told Of the holdup
it would cost his life.
Sir. Vick is considered a quiet,
lawabiding citizen, and he is
greatly dis turbed over the threats
nmde and after finding that all
safe at home, he again went to
Nashville, reported the facts to
Sheriff Johnson and asked that
proper protection be given him
by the law.
This was assured him. Up to
this afternoon there had been no
arrests though it is expected that
a warrant against Carpenter will
be served,' if he can tje found.
The other two accoiripliieies ^
not knpw'n to the officers^yet ;|i;
is thought that with the ai’f'lit ol
Carpenter, these may be divulg
ed and other facts that will give
other men trouble in the
borhood.
