EVENING, JUNE 21, 1899. 10 Cents Per Week r IN MEMOKIAM. Men are ever constrained to pay homage to the great and the good and lay at the shrine of virtue some appreciative token by word or deed. And in bringing the Mast tribute to the memory., of one whose life's work is his crowning monument, I only follow the im pulse of mankind to bare to the world the record of one's good ness, which can never be adequate ly estimated even by those who realize most keenly his transition from mortality to eternity. In many particulars the life of James S. McCubbins, Sr., was no less remarkable than exemplary. Does the young man of to-day de sire a model of persevering in dustry and undaunted fortitude? Then let him study this life record. Does State seek a son w hose es cutcheon is unsullied? Then let her review bis service. Does " philanthropy east in vain for an ideal humanitarianism ? Then let her go to the widow s and orphans, who, duringQeivil strife were suc cored by him to the extent of his means. And so through his en tire lifeJrouany and all points Of view he exhibited those traits -and qualities that .constitute the true man true to himself, his fellow man and his God. James S. McCubbins,. Sr., was born in Randolph county on .No vember 22nd, 1822. He moved from Randolph to Iredell county and in 1844 came to Salisbury. Clerking here for three years he returned to Iredell county and taught school, being later ap pointed a deputy sheriff of the county. About 1851) he was elec ted register of deeds of that coun ty and after the expiration of his term of office returned to Salis bury, residing here continuously until 1872, when he moved to his iarm about ten nines irom oans burv. In 1879 he returned to Salisbury and became a member of the firm of McCubbins, Beall & Co.. at that time one of the leading mercantile establishments of this section. He continued to merchandise until 1887, when he was elected president and manager of -' the Salisbury Roller Mills, which position he held until his death. - Mr. McCubbins, though an ac tive party man, was in no sense of the -word a politician. Clean handed in his public as in private life, men knew him to trust him and he held various positions of honor and responsibility at the hands of his constituents. He was elected register of deeds of Iredell county about 1850. In ,186S he, with Hon. John S. Hen derson, was elected a member of the constitutional convention. In 1870 he redeemed Salisbury to Democracy and was the first Democrat elected to the office of mayor of this city after the war. He was elected county treasurer' in 1872 and two years later repre sented his county in the legisla tive halls at Raleigh, being also . elected a representative in 1865. For four years, from 1884 to 1888, he served on the board of county commissioners, but resigned in the latter year, to accept a legis lative nomination, lo every trust, ubhc or private, en trusted to TninT"1IB"" same unerring honesty of purpose and executed them by his inva riable and unvarying test abso lute conscientiousness. 4 Socially, Mr. McCubbins was unobtrusive though, very ap- Eroachable. It was in his own ome that he found his chief est delight. Domestic by inc'ination, the softness and graciousness of his nature shone most beautifully within the precincts of his home. He is survived by his wife and two children, Mrs. J. B. Gaither, of China Grove, and J. F. Mc Cubbins, Esq., of this city, ' Mr. McCubbins always mani fested' deep concern in religious affairs. He" has been since young manhood a communicant' of . the Presbyterian church and in addi tion to numerous and regular ,pri vate benevolences contributed liberally to the cause of Chris tianity. "v In hfs removal a familiarhgure, a representative citizen,, a kind and generous character has been borne out, on the tide. But there are those and they are many to whom his memory will, be a legacy richer than a heritage of gold or silver. 1 TO CORE A COLD IN ONE DAY. - Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.
