His parents moved to their home at Red Shoals before he was two years old. He joined the Meth odist church at Davis' Chapel when he was seven years of age, under the ministry of Rev. T. H. Pegram. He was married in High Point, Dec. 29, 1904 to Miss Deila Martin, of Pine Hall. On Mon day, Feb. 1, 1909, he was thrown from bis mule while on his way to Danbury, and fatnlly injured, so that he never regained conscious ness. He was carried to his home and all that loving hands could do or loving hearts suggest was done for him, but to no avail. Once he arose and sat on a chair, but soon again became ontirely unconscious. He lingered uutil near noon Wednesday, Feb. ii, when he calm ly passed to the home above. It would doubtless have been a com fort to the bereaved ones could our dear brother have spoken some words of dying testimony to light en the their sorrow. But his hum ble, faithful, Christian life, his bright, testimony of faith and love to God are a source of great com fort to the bereaved ones. He lived the life of the righteous, he could but die the death of the same. He was much impressed by a sermon by Rev. VV. M. Bag by in Oct. last, from 1 Jno. 3:1, of which he frequently spoke. He was such a true, faithful Christian, we know he is now iu heaven awaiting that reunion he loved to think and speak about. He leaves a young wife and two little children; a widowed mother, Mrs. Emily Adkins; three sisters, Mrs. M. T. Cnilton, of Danbury, Misses Lizzie and Susie Adkins, of Red Shoals; Messrs. W. Jay, Henry and Edward Adkins, of Red Shoals, Mr. Chas. Adkins, of Dickinson, North Dakota, and Mr. James Adkins, of Winston. How the aged mother, brothers and sisters will miss his daily coming! How we all will miss him, for he always filled bis place at church! His funeral was attended by a large concourse of sorrowing rela tives and friends, testifying to the universal esteem in which he and the family are held, and the foun tains, of brotherly love iu every heart seemed to rise to overflowing. It was indeed an impressive scene, and our hearts have never felt nearer breaking with sympathetic grief than on this occasion. We laid his body to rest in the Davis graveyard, overlooking the Dan river, to await the resurrection. Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved young widow in her helpless grief, and to the mother and brothers and sisters of his boyhood home. Let us continue to trust in Him who doeth all things well and be ready when the call shall come to us. D. A. BINKLEY. Mr. A. W. Davis, of Walnut Cove, was a visitor here Monday. DANBURY, N.

A. CARROLL'S RECORD. Deputy Marshall Makes Eighteen Arrests Thus Far This Year. Winston Journal. 7th. Deputy Marshal i. A. Carroll returned yesterday from Surry, county, where lie has been sum-1 moiling witnesses for the next term of federal court at Greens boro. While in that county Mr, Car roll succeeded in capturing two men for whom he had warrants and capiases. J. S. Griffith, a white man, was the one the marshal ar rested for illicit distilling. He took his prisoner before I*. S. Commis sioner Jackson, who fixed his bond at $3OO, which he gave and was re t leased. The alleged offense was com- t mitted some time in October. Griffith conducted a bonded bran dy distillery at his home; the rev enue officers smelted n mouse and upon investigation found some-; thing wrong. They seized the dis-' tillery and the contents. At the last term of federal court in Char lotte a true bill was found by the grand jury against Griffith, and this was the cause of the arrest. Jonah Allen, colored, was the one arrested on a warrant charging him with retailing whiskey with out license. Qis trial was held before United States Commis sioner Jackson, w ho acquitted him of the charge. The alleged offense occurred in the month of Decem ber. There were sevsral witness es to be examined, and the mar shal stated that every one of them swore they had never in all their lives bought a drop of whiskey from the defendant. This makes eighteen arrests by Mr. Carroll this year, which goes j to show conclusively that he is a most efficient officer. Tobaccoyille Route 2, Tobaoeoville Route 2, Feb.

No. 1,927 TO MEET SATURDAY AT DANBURY. FEBRUARY 13 County Meeting of the Farmers' Union- A Speaker Will Address the People—Secretary E. A. Roth rock Asks a Full Attendance. Walnut ( 'ove Route '■>. Feb. Mil, 11108. f Mr. Editor: As our county meeting of the Farmers' Union is held next Sat urday. Feb. KJ. at 10 o'clock A. M., I will be glad to see as many of our good farmers present as can be there. I am proud to know that the laboring class have become more awakened to the fact that if they expect anything to better their condition they must resolve to come together and unite to work out some plans that they could not possibly do unless they are joined together through the vows of some organization, and it is a surprising tiling to me to read the slighting remarks and criticisms of some men in regard to this work. And the time is near at hand when they will see the folly in trying to make men believe that their future prosperity will be brought about by some great money j ower. and us poor fellows will prosper as the great corporations prosper. Let me gay, brother farmer, if you fail to look after your hard-earned dol lars you will lose same when you leave the other fellow to take care of them for you. 1 am glad to say that the Uniou is still growing and that our mem bers are taking courage and look ing for a brighter future which is sure to come if we do our duty. There is nothing in this work that atfords me more plensure than the favorable reports of the progress of the different local Unions in this county, and I am glad to say that we are not in this organization for NOTHING: It means some thing to every member and also to his family. I have the prices on the differ ent brands of fertilizer from our State business agent, and I can see very clearly the members who buy their fertilizer through the Union will save hundreds of dol lars on fertilizer this spring, and it makes me feel good to look at the prices and see what we can save by buying through the Union and we are not going to stop on the fertilizer, but we are going to figure on other things we have to buy. We are having merchants to ask us to figure with them. They don't know where we are go ing to center our trade and they know if we do our buying through our State business agent that they will miss handling thousands of dollars and they had rather dis count our bill than for us to do our b'isiness somewhere else; and they are wise in trying to capture our trade, for in a short time we are going to bring a greater part of the farmers' trade together.
