'tEDNESDAY. JUNE ! '5,1891.
Mrs. Hackett Passes Away.
On last Sunday evening, the
31at of May, 1891, at her home
in wiiKesDoro, surrounaea
her children and a number of
relatives and friends, Mrs. CJ
X. Hackett quietly, peacefully!
briathed her last on earth.'
Although her death had hourly!
been expected for several days,'
tht announcement that the fi
nal dissolution had taken place,'
-cast a peculiar sadness over
th3 city. For several years.
hte had been sutteriner irom a
cancer, which gradually,
scarcely perceptible, eat her
lire away. For the last few
w seksshehad been decidedly
w irse, and Wednesday even
in g of last week she gradually
dropped into a comatose state
f r Dm which she never aroused,
ai d never again spoke or re
cognized any one. It was cer-
tain the end was near, and with
wnat intense longing and anxi
ety her last hours were watch
ed, none can appreciate but
tl ose who have had such ex
perience. , Her death was calm,
easy and peaceful as the gentle
f dlding of a flower. No mur
ir ur, no struggle, no sound,
she fell sweetly to rest, "asleep
in Jesus, the time of the last
p llse scarcely perceivable.
Mrs; Qaroline L. Hackett
v as the daughter of ; Nathaniel
and S. A.; Gordon and was born
April 1, 1828, at the old Gordon
homestead where Mr. J. T.
Blnley now lives. She was the
youngest full sister of the late
Gen. Gordon. Two sisters;
rs. A, W. Finley and Mrs.
. T. Finley, one half brother,
bl. H. A. Brown, and her
ur children survive her. In
the year 1859, she became the
ife of ;Dr. R. F: Hackett.
he joined the Methodist
hurch'at an early age, and
ontinued a faithful, conscien
tious member.
Like St. Paul, she had fought
good fight and finished her
course in triumph, and she has
gone to reap the reward that
emaineth for the faithful.
I The funeral services were
conducted at the residence at
tp. m, Monday, by the Rev.
P. R. Bruton. after which the
body was laid to rest in the
Spiscopal cemetery.
! The Supreme Court of the
U, S. through Chief Justice
Fuller, has rendered on opinion
which upholds state authority
ii the regulation of the liquor
;rafiic as against Federal au
;hority, which in effect annuls
;he original package decision
bwo years ago. The original
package decsion was that liquor
in original ' packages could be
shipped into a prohibition state.
The ..recent opinion ' however
sustains the authority of the
state in the prohibition or .su
pervision -of the liquor traffic.
It is a victory for prohibition.
Prof, Patton will continue in
charge of Moravian Falls Acad
emy for1 the ensuring year. The
primary department. of the
school has been abolished,, and
only those prepared; fort an
academic course will be taken.
Mr. Patton will take entire con
troi ot the school as Prof Hen
dren is going west.

be his own successor , as U.s 8.'
Senator, by the Florida Legis
lature last T?eel?, after a fifibt

Y Their Christian Ardor Cooled.
We people of the South are
,slow to recognize to what extent
the northern people are con
troled by prejudice, with what
contempt they look upon the
white manhood of the South,
and what social regulations
are prescribed for our people,
by tho northern people regula
tions haughtily scorned when
applied to themselves. Who
ever heard of the white minis
ters of New York practicing
social equality, yet they re
quire so much of us. If we
would take the negro to our
schools, our homes, our par
lors, we would be doing the
requirements of the philan
thropic) northerners. But
why not they give us an object
lesson by practicing what they
preach.
These thoughts are suggested
by the experience of President
R. L. Abernethy in New York
about two weeks ago while so
liciting aid for Rutherford Col-
lege. He tells his experience
in a Letter to the Statesville Ad
vocate, fi.om whicn we quote:
"On last Monday I attended the
"New York Preachers Monday t meet
ing," held in the Book Room, anfl had
the privilege of addressing thaj&ugust
body of 200 D. D's., laying before? them
my loss and mission. They listened
attentively, (for I talked with eense),
and then expressed great sympathy,
with many "God bless youV in my
case, and there their sympathy "oozed
and evaporated." I was asked by mem
bers whether I had any colored people in
my college, c. A negative reply cooled
down their christian ardor amazinglv.
"Were I a kinky -headed nigger, or
would consent to sacrifice my self-respect
so far as to take Pompey and Dina
into my college, and allow them to sit
in my parlor along side my sweet little
daughter, Maud, I would be almost
compelled to charter a car to carry the
money home that would be showered
into my lap.
But I am a uhite man whose "Anglo
saxon blood can never equalize with
the murkey ooze that fills the veins of
the sons of Ham. I am christian and
philanthropist enough to regard them as
human; but as my intellectual and so
cial equals, never."
This is certainly a beautiful
compliment to the magnani
mous christian charity of our
northern brethren! Their ar
dor for a worthy object is sud
denly cooled into icicles be
cause the darkey isn't in it.
The odoriferous perfumes of
the colored brothdr fans "their
ardor into flames - of. ecstacy,
when scented "a far off," but
they are utterly insensible to
the same sweet incense at their
doors, under their very noses.
No matter how poor and needy
and uneducated and deserving
of help our young people may
be, if they happen to tho un
pardonable misfortune of be
ing born white, they can find
no symphathy oir place in the
hearts of our northern breth
ren, not even the philanthropic
and charitable (?) ministers of
the gospel! .
The southern people should
all the more feel under obliga
tions to assist Mr. Abernethy
in completing his college, that
he maj resume liis noble work
for humanity. , j . . j .

The R. R. Commission have
fixetf the rates for telegrams in
the State at 25 cents for 10
body words, and 2 cents each
for every additional word. .
The R. R. Commission law
has been repealed in Florida
after a few years trial. It cost
the tax payers $15,000 per year
without giving them "value re
cieved," in benefits.
Statesville is coming to the
front, as a booming town.
There were 106 lots sold there
last week at the auction sale.
Statesville is hustling and no
mistake.

Those Magistrates who
voted against the bridge Mon
day were honest in the matter
no doubt, but as Mr. R. W.
Colvard told them at the time,
in less than two years they will
regret it, and will censure them
selves with "what a fool I was."

The Commencements at Trap Hill.
The Commencements of Fair
View Academy, week before
last, and of Trap Hill Institute
last week, are reported as being
delightful occasions. Dr. Tyre
York delivered the address at
the former and Hon. W. C.
Fields, of Sparta at the latter.
There were two medal con
tests at the Commencement of
Trap Hill Institute, there being
12 contestan ts in each. Mr. E.
M. Bowles won the Gold medal,
and Miss Bettie Harp of Surry
won the Silver. A class of 18
contested for a prize ajbeauti
ful bible, which was successfully
won by Miss Mattie Holbrook.
There were a class of little folks
also contested for a prize, which
was awarded to little Flora
Byrd.
Miss Callie Thornton, rof Lo

Tuesday by the good people
there is complimented very
highly.

a success.

Fair Dealing, Economical Management, Minimum profits and a

Has been our aim and policy and has contributed chiefly, wo N
