; Isn't it a little singular that wh.le
Senator Simmons is doing so much mag
nificent work for his parly and his State
the men who covet his seat in the Sen
ate are beating the bushes atd bar
ranguing the people, attacking Sim'
mons' democracy T Do they think the
people of North Carolina are ignorant
or ungrateful? If so a day of rude
awakening is coming.
Why do these candidates not put
their records alorgside that of Senator
Simmons' and let the people make a
rcompariton ? One of them at least, has
been in'Congress for a long term 6f
ytars. .;. :; '' ,
There is another fact in this connec
tion that the people of N. Carolina will
not fail to note. While his record is
being assailed bythe men who want
his place, he has not deserted bis post
of duty but is leading the Democratic
fight in the Senate with marked abili
ty, no doubt believing- that the : people
of his tate will show their apprecia
tion oi bis work by repudiating his as
sailants and by re-electing him to the
Senate by an overwhelming majority.
We believe they will."

Mr, SanrtuelJ. Hudson died yesterday

several tiays past he had been in a crit
ical condition and friends all over the
city were p epired at any moment to
hearhat the ei d had come.
Though Mr. Hudson's death wat not
unexpected, it comes as a matter of
keen sorrow to iriany. And as the nes
went around yesterday that death had
claimed h;m, many were the express
ions of regret mingled witbsympa'hy
for those who had watched so censtin
ly by Jjis bcdHide,
He had been in failing health for a
year or mine when, seeing that con
sumption had assailed him, he gave
up work und commenced an unequal
struggle with the disease. Las: sum
mer he Bptnt in Asheville and seemed
to be somewhat benefited. This turn
mer be went again, but instead of
growing better he became worse and a
few weeks ago he returned with the
shadow of death hovering closely ar
ound him. All ths while since, he has
been slowly sinking, wife and friends
realizing that no power on earth could
ave him and helpless tj do more than
watch and wait for the en I, rendering
in the m?antlme every attention that
love and skill could suggest.
He was born Dec. 5, 1861, at Polloks-
vilJe and would ha e been fifty-one
ears of age had he lived until next
December. Dec. 5, 1883, he married
Miss Lucretia Edwards of Kinston, who

Hs was a man of i reproaeliable char
acter, leading a lite of Bingular beauty

said, referring to his death:
"Again has New Bern been called
upon to part with one of her prominent
citizens prominent not in' worldly
position nor in material weilth but in
trict integrity, in sterling worth, in
gentleness of manner, in beautiful un
selfishness of beart. Mr. Uudson was
one of tho.e rare men who filled his
rh:ca in the community and in the
cl urch, without crowding against any
one, without envy, without thinking
