It was established, not because they

when they get a chance, that they

notice, reports that the troops are In

in every way in the best of order.
This fact is, no doubt, largely due to
the untiring efforts of Gen. Royster

proud of the record he has made In

the history of the "Old Reliable" was
carefully reviewed and sketches of
the nestors of North Carolina jour
nalism who had been its editors and
and contributors were given.
As is well known the old Raleigh
News and the Raleigh Observer were
consolidated into the News and Ob

Uzzell fc Stone and edited for a long
while by Uapt. Samuel Williams,
who was a brother of Capt. John
A. Williams and Hon. A. H. A. Wil

the enlargement of the paper and its
increased usefulness. It is now a
mighty power in the State's mate

all successful men has had to stem
the tide of opposition and the abuse
of enemies but has In each conflict
landed "right side up," and we are
glad to say is adding every year to
his strength and popularity. Long

A Sudden Death.
The Minor mill community was
greatly shocked Thursday morning
to learn of the sudden death of Mr.
J. B. Knott, which occurred while he
was sitting in a chyir near one of his
barns as he was curing tobacco. It
was early In the morning and Mrs.
Knott had joined him at the barn.
Mr. Knott told a negro boy to go
and see how tbe heat stood, and
about that time Mr. Knott gave a
gasp and all was over with him. It
must have been heart rendering
when his devoted wife turned and
found hlra in the arms of death.
Neighbors were quickly summoned
and his body was taken to the house
and prepared for burial.
He was a most excellent young
man and highly esteemed by his
friends and neighbors and his sudden
taking away with apoplexy has cast
a gloom over the communty. He
whs very industrious and had made
a fine er p. ."nd when culled upon to
answer the I m h t. summons was en
gutrrd In curing his tobacco.
Tiie funeral and burial took place
at the old Hunt graveyard at Mr.
W. T. Hunt's Friday, conducted by
Rev. J. D Pegrarn, and largely at
tended. l o the suddenly bereaved wife and

warmest condolence in the hour of

Who Is Your Candidate
ROOSEVELT
OR
PARKER ?
The coming campaign promises to be
close. Neither candidate is certain of suc
cess. Events may happen which will
change the whole aspect of the political sit
uation. No newspaper is better equipped
to handle the news than
The
Washington Post
It has a perfect telegraphic service, its
special correspondents, tank first in the
newspaper profession, and all the news is
printed without fear or favor of either
party. The Post is thoroughly independ
ent, and each day will give the true situa
tion, uncolored by partisan zeal. No paper
is more widely quoted. At great cost it
obtains cable dispatches from the London
Times, giving the news of the Russian
Japanese war.
Subscri ition lor three months, $1.90; two
months, $ 1.25; one month, 70 cents. Sami
pie copies free.
