DIED LIKE A NORTH CAROLINIAN It is definitely known now that Postal Clerk 0. S, Woody, a brother of Mr. J. M. Woody, chief clerk in the Southern Railway de pot here, was one of the number lost in the Titanic disaster. The AVashington Star has this storey relating to the death of Mr. Woody: James M. Woody, of Roxboro N. C. reached here Saturday af ternoon to make enquiry about the death of his brother, Oscar S. Woody, mail clerk, who was jmong the victims of the Titanic disaster. Mrs, Woody, widow of he mail clerk, is staying at the. home of her aunt, Mrs. Harry Warren, 29 Q street northwest. She came from her home at Clif ton, Ya., several days ago. Her husband lived at Clifton, but he .;d spent much of his time here n the seventeen years he was in "the railway mail service. For nearly fifteen years he was on the run between this city and Greens oro, N. C, having been trans ferred to the ocean service about ivvo years ago. The Titanic disaster occurred on Mr. Woody's forty-fourth birth- io rostmaster uenerai nas informed that Woody and ...

He was popular with : .c nuil :: - vice employes and in h : c:;i: circles. He was a son of :: j;e .John F. Woody, of Rox :oro. where his mother and bro :! er reside. For a number of years he was a member of Clifton Lodgre, A. r. A. M., and more re entiy he was taken into Kallipolis Grotto, Veiled Prophets, by Wil liam T. Burdine. About eighteen months ago he anc Miss Lelia Bullard. of Dallas, Texas, were married. John T. Woody, a brother, was killed by a train at Coaldate, W, Va., about two years ago.

B, Cunningham will be present and preach at Cunning ham Chapel on the second Sab- bath in May at 11 o'clockLet all his friends come out at that time and give him a good welcome and a full house. We met at the home of Col. Cuningham at Durham a tew weeks since, and his mind and bpdy was full of the splendid work he is doing for the poor un fortunates at the convict farm. The Lord is greatly blessing his labors there and he is doing a fine work. It has been a great surprise to me that the Methodist or the Baptist have never had a missonary there to proclaim the glad" tidings to these unfortunate prisoners. And Person Countv is honored with a hero who went down with the Titanic. Messrs. Editors can you give us a cut of this noble young hero who went down to a v.atery grave, bravely , at his post of duty, in The Courier? We would love to look upon his face and breathe a prayer for his mother and wife in their great sorrow and affliction. From what we can gather from the Senatorial investivation the White, Star Line in wholly responsible for this great calamity and loss of life. They were warned several time by passing vessels of much ice and icebergs ahead of them, but they did not slacken their speed but held up to 23 knots an hour until it was too late, und they crashed into the iceberg.. I con sider that it was nothing more than gross carelessness on the company and officers. Two women on that boat deserve monuments p ii II T i n. r or maroie. Mrs. isaaor Straus, or new luiii, uiiu atiuuici iiiai 1 can't recall had gotten into the boats and they asked if their husbands were not to be allowed to come and when told no, came out and said they would perish with them. Oh! what a noble spirit of true devotion and sac rafice, and there are thousands of noble women who would have done like wise. Some farmers are planting com and many ere not yet through breaking land. Tobacco plants are plentiful and are now' growing nicely and will be ready- as soon as the farmes are to put them out. Our farmers are planting - more corn generally in our section. Rev. S. F. Nicks, of the Milton charge, has returned from the hospital at Danville to his home at Milton, without an operation and was getting on very well at our last account from him. Mr. Nicks is making a fine impression upon the people of the whole charge and is deservedly popular. He was sick nearly a week at Bro. J. C. Bray's home, and he and his wife took the best possible care of him. Frank. IOE 2J Candidate. Good lor 1,000 Votes. blank cast for each candidate 75,000 extrav6w?6r EVERY CLUBOF FIVE SUBSCRIBERS.

Interest in the Contest is in tense, Everybody is watching the paper to see how the candi dates stand from day to day. All are apparently willing to help one or another of the candidates with their subscriptions if their favorite candidates were to request assistance. Candidates will find t an,, easy matter to secure subscriptitions and thousand of votes this week if they will go arbund and see their friends and acquaintances and ask them to help them with subscriptions. The friends of the candidates realize what they can do by subscribing for The Couri er. In consequence they are more than willing to giye what assis tance thev can. PAY NO ATTENTION TO RUMORS. If one contestant does get a few thousand votes ahead in the paper it must not be taken for granted that the race is won. Perhaps the candidates who are reposing quietly at the bottom of the list will be the very ones to come up unawares and carry off the prizes. Such, a thinn has been done, and many a race has been lost by over-confidence. Don't let rumors influence you one way or the other. These rumors are usually false, as no one can know how many votes you have 5th ers than those who published the paper, and the report is therefore started in the hope that other candkktes will become discouraged N and stop their efforts. Such reports should only urge one to- greater efforts. VOTE EARLY AND OFTEN. Send in your favorite's name and then vote for your candidate as for Congress or the Senate, on ly vote oftener. It is entirely safe. Stuff the ballot box like a crooked politician, .and stuff good. Per fectly legitimate. No prison term staring you in the - face for this, and besides suppose there was, who would not be willing to do a couple of years in jail for one of our Tarheel beauties God bless 'em. . Do not wait until later on in the contest but Get acquainted with the ballot box now. Your help may be aU that is needed to en courage your favorite to put forth the effort which wiU place her at the top of the list. Do it now.; js v-'.': : . SAVE THE COUPONS. HsVeyour friends clip out - and sare the; ; coupon, , pnnted;each zrtt - I weellin The Courier. Tell vonr frienas that it is not advisable for them to send the coupons either to you or to The Courier office until they have secured a number of them. This in order to avoid an unnecessary expense of pos tage. When vote ballots are issued on subscriptions they are not puyj$$fr until the contsstant to whom ithey are issued returns them to The Courier office, thereby implying a request that they be published.
