Gone.
But we have left immediately by, as
one of the active participants in this
kind of business of the "by gone,"
and another only the side of a square
distant. We allude to Charles 8lover,
E-q , and to Alonzo T. Jerkins, Esq.
Tne former could reach back in his
mercantile operations more than seven
ty years. Both were for many years
ship owners and shipping merchants,
and previous to and up to the late war
both were presidents of important banks
in Newbern. We had then here bank
ing capital aggregating three quarters
of a million dollars, and prior to the
Merchants Bank the Newbern Bank of
Newbern had one million capital. Mr.
Slover and Mr. Jerkins are sisters' chil
dren, and the sole representatives of
the business men of two generations
ago. They have attained greacer age
than any other white men in this town,
at this time, and there are but three
among the burials in Cedar Grove ceme
tery for ninety years who encompassed
more year. as follows: Robert Hay,
ninety-six; Jacob Gooding, eighty-nine,
and Elijah Clark, eighty-seven. Mr.
Slover was born before and Mr. Jerkins
about the date 1807.
Fulton's steamboat "Clermont"
made the first voyage to Albany in
86 hours. Eleven years afterwards,
1818, they together witnessed" the ar
rival, in a thunder storm, of tha New
bern steamboat "Norfolk," and the in
tense excitement of our people over the
"new comer."
Some fourteen or fifteen years after
this date they heard of the turning of
tbe wheels on a track in England of
Stephenson's engine "looomotion "
The writer has a photograph of it, and
an odd-looking machine ic is, compared
with the locomotives of this time.
Eleven years subsequent, Thomas J.
Pasteur exhibited in the Merchants
Bank, Newbern, of which Mr. Slover
was president, the marks on strip of
paper of one of the first messages ever
passed over the wires in the world.
Pastiur was a delegate to the con
vention that nominated James K. Polk
for the presidency of the United States
in Baltimore, in 1844. Perhaps one, or
both, not distant from this date, heard
in a lecture in this town the Baptist
minister Mr. Fory predict that the time
was close by when electricity would
supersede gas and other lights in the
cities and on vessels on the ocean; that
it would also be used in running en
gines, etc. Fory was put down as a
crank of the first class.
Doubtless it has also survived in their
memoiy, as both have passed more
years man either the Presbyterian or
Baptist church in this place, that
there was a period when it would of
fend a B .ptist to designate the "meet
inghouse" a "church," and to suggest
a steeple or bell for a Methodist chufch
was an affront not readily forgiven.
This was when the female members
discarded flowers and feathers in their
bonnets and rejected jewelry of every
description. How strong would have
