A Needless Drug Law.
Some of the drug laws of North Car
olina a’^e nothing shorter than a bare
faced nuisance, passed purely with a
view of putting more money in the
Dockets of professional men. We refer
to that which prohibits a druggist from
selling certain kinds of family medicine
without a prescription from a physi
cian, alleging they were narcotics. We
need only refer to that simple old
household remedy laudnum, that up to
a few years ago was kept by most
every family in town and country, but
all at once the sharp lawyer legislator
decided there was danger of some one
committing suicide, and they must not
be trusted with laudnum. There is no
trouble to buy ‘rough on rats’ and a
thousand other poisons if they
want to go that rout. There is cocain,
prusic acid and hundred of other diuga
that should be kept out of the peopleu
hands, but some simple drugs does not
come under that head. We want a
legislative composed of honest practical
business, and not a lot of professional
sharpers.

The Last Words of Aycock
“I have fought lon^ the battles of
education.’ stated the speaker. “I
stumped the state of North Carolina for
four years in an effort to arouse public
sentiment against illiteracy. Often on
Sundays I was invited to address the
children, and I invariably discussed the
theme of learning. Often, however, I
spoke to audiences which did not hear.
Have you ever had that experience,
Governor O’Neal?”
“Governor O’Neal bowed and smiled.
A smile touched each face in the audi
ence. And in a weak voice the speaker
continued:
“However, I have determined, if such
a thing is possible, to open the doors of
the schools to every child—”
“He stopped. On his face there came
an expression as if of intense pain. He
staggered, grasped at the air, and fell.’’

after you are dead work to deserve it

Sorrowing citizens were in Raleigh
Sunday from every quarter of the State
to pay the last tribute of respect to
Charles Brantley Aycock, former Gov
ernor, beloved statesman and citizen.
Every incoming train and three special
trains brought large crowds in spite of
threatening weather. All the forenoon
and until up to the hour of the funeral,
4:15, there was a consent stream of
people passing through the rotunda of
the State House to view the remains
lying in state.
It was 4:30 before the ceremony of
removing the body from the State
House to the First Baptist church, at
the northwest coiner of Capitol square
began. Then the active pallbearers,
all close personal friends of the deceased
and townsmen of his, when he lived in
Goldsboro, conveyed the casket through
the north corridor and placed it in the
hearse, followed by the long line of
honorary pall-bearers, headed by Gov
ernor Kitchin, former Governor Glenn,
the State officers, justices of the
j Supreme Court and followed by dis
tinguished citizens from every quarter
of the State, and delegations from
Goldsbo.o, Wilson, Warrenton, Durham
and numbers of other cowns of this
section. The hearse had reached the
church and the remains were at the
entrance before the last of the spe
cial escort of citizens with bared and
bowed heads, had passed out from the
State House. The spacious chu"ch had
ment where they wei’e held until ad
vice could be received from North
Carolina as to their disposition.
MR^ AYCOCK’S CAREER,
j Charles Brantley Aycock was born
I at Friemont, this State, November 1,
When a youth he entered the
moved to 1 University of North Carbima, Chapel
I Hill, where he took high rank, espe
cially excelling in English. In a large
measure he earned by his own labor
the money which paid his collegiate ex
penses, a fact which in no way affect
ed his proficiency in his studies or his
great popularity among his fellow
students. He was graduated from the
University, receiving the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. Soon afterward he
devoted himself to the btudy of law,
the profession to which his exception
al talents hs a speaker and as « think
er made him unusually fitted. He i
was admitted to the bar and entered !
on the cai’eer which North Carolina |
believed was still tending towards its
climax.
In connection with his practice, Mr.
Aycock became superintendent of the
Wayne county schools. It was while
holding this position, doubtless that
he imbibei much of that wholesome
and whole-hearted enthusiasm for ed-
ucati^in which won him universally in
his native State the title, “North Car
olina’s Educational Governor.” from
1883 to 1898 he was United States dis
trict attorney in the district of North
Carolina.
REAL CAREER BEGINS.
It was in 1898 that he gained State
wide prominence as a campaigneer.
Under fusion rule scores of negroes
in the eastern part of the State had
been appointed magistrates and even
to offices or more influence and pow
er. The shackled east appealed to
the more fortunate west for aid and
a battle for “white supremacy” was
begun and waged until the whole State
rang with fhe battle-cry.
His most pronounced enemy c*^uld
not have called his speeches narrow.
Whatever else they were, they were
frank, plainly spoken, and mellowed
with a humor which convulsed. There
was a drollery of manner, a distinct
iveness of touch • in his treatment 01
funny stories which made his hearers
demand the repetition of his favorites.
It is but recording the plain, cold facts
in the case to say that it has been
widely conceded that no North Caro
linian of latter years has possessed in
so full a degree the power^to stir the
hearts of his compatriots, or has en
joyed a larger measure of the con
fidence and esteem of his contempor-
ies.'^
The Jews.
(Charlotte Observer.)
We do not interpret the providences
that have attended the Jews since the
coming of Christ; all that we wonder
at is that through all the centuries
they have maintained in some fashion,
if not in the Temple of Jerusalem and
with all the ceremonies of the law and
sacrafices made by the high priests,
the solemn feasts commanded of them
thousand’s of years . ■ before the Sup
reme Sacrifice was offered up for the
sins of the world. This is a quesiton

eral services were conducted at the
home Saturday morning, March 16th
by Rev. Ormond, Pastor of the metho-
dist church at Hillsboro, and his re
mains was taken Walnut Grove church

back to the burying ground of the old
country church where from cradled in
fancy he had been taught to worship

He was also a member of the Dau

stroyes came and laid his jcy hand on
this great and good man, he was ready
to exchange this world of suffering
for that higher realm where sicirnesa

From adverse blasts and

His favored soul bore
And with yon bright angelic forms
He lives to die no more
No more shall the look of sympathy

He was always ready for a good word
and work and labored earnestly to ad
vance the interests of our Order. Fare
well dear brother, we hope to meet
thee in a fairer clime in the Superior
Council on high where no partings ever
come.
He has gone from his dear ones

Whom he willingly toiled for
and loved as his life.
Oh, God; how mysterious and how
strange are thy ways.

As we lingered near ofter the last sad
rites had been performed we thought
of the words of the Poet.
Look at the beautiful city laid out in
walk and square. W^here flowers in
rich profusion perfume the summer air.
’Tis there the willow waiveth and the
violet lift’s its head. And they call
this lovely city the city of the dead.
The breeze in gentle dalliance from
flower to flower roves. And the very
air seems purer in those quiet shady
groves. No sounds disturb the still
ness no laughter rude or luied. For
there is something in that city awes
even the gayest crowd. And side by
side there slumber the rich man and
the poor. There sleep the great the
lowly the same trees o’er them waive.
For earth’s proud and vain distinctions
are leveled by the grave. Here some
weary aged warrior quietly takes his
reet near him some pale young mother
with her babe on her breast. There
the wealthy merchants slumbers and
dreams no more of gain. There the
widowed one forgets life’s weariness
and pain. The bride in her fair beauty
with orange buds in her hair. And
wedding robe around her sleeps calm
and peaceful there. There the orator
proud reposes a stone at head and feet
But a nameless one lies near whose
rest is just as sweet. Artists states
men Poets weares alike of fame, your
haunting dreams have yaiushed and a
white slab bears your namer Ah, who
has not bowed with weeping over some
coffined head. For we all loved and
lost ones in the city of the dead.

our contestants will not

all possible zeal. The prem
iums we are offering are
well worth all possible ef

would follow. Go out in

through all the mutations of time, the

The Red-Haired Woman.
(From the-"Washington Post.)
Red hair is not merely a crowning
glory. It is a principle. It is a thing
for which to fight and die. Some
women are born great and others have
greatness thrust upon them, but red-
haired women are just bom. When
Providence is in high good humor a
few red-haired women are ordained.
They are not strewn about the oarth
like cabbages or Kentucky colonels.
They are dropped to earth gently and
tenderly, and with the sun-kisung
caress of nature.
Like a drama dashed off by Shake
speare, an opera composed by Wagner,
or a circus got up by P. T. Bamum is
the flashing, joyous, caroling soul ot
the red-haired woman. None but the
women of the auburn hair knows what
it is to have such fights to Heaven
and such swoops below. The soft,
clinging loveliness of May and the
biting bla'sts of December are locked
in the glorious frame of the red-hair-
ed woman.
Ten thousand people marched from
the Home church ground down the
cedar-flanked avenue to the Maravian
graveyard at Salem Sunday reverently
called “God’s Acre,”—and at the
breaking of the day, stood with bowed
and bared heads and paid homage to
the risen Christ.
The services of the Moravians on
Easter mom are simple. They consist
of responsive readings, prayer and
songs—the old Grerman chorals, sung
to the accompaniment of the church
band—called in the old days the “trom
bone choir”r-songs that are heard
nowhere, perhaps, save in town where
Moravians live. And yet the very
simpleness of the services make them

yard by a desire to pay tribute to the
breaking of the bonds of death by
the Christ.
