commenting on it said it must have

for they would not have been so med-
dlesome.
Better Service. A good citizen
said a few days ago that he read more
of the proceedings of the last Legisla
ture than of any Legislature he had
ever known to assemble. He reads no
secular paper but The Democrat and
so accounts for it by the fact that The
Democrat gave better service in print-
ing the proceedings of the Legislature

Mr. Gary's accident. Mr. S. M.
Gary, Clerk of the Superior Court, was
riding his bicycle rapidly down the
street in Halifax a few clays ago and
his w heel struck some obstruction caus
ing him to lose his balance. He was
thrown violently against a post and his
cheek bone was crushed and his face
otherwise badly cut. His friends
throughout the County and State will
regret to learn of this serious accident.
We hope for his speedy recovery.
For Fire Protection. Mr. P. G.
Howe, of Indianapolis, was here Mon
day offering to the town commissioners
a very fine apparatus for fire protection.
His machine has points of excellence
that we had not noticed before. The
question with the commissioners, is
will they be justified in purchasing the
apparatus? Another question to be
considered is, can they purchase a good
apparatus at the present rate of taxa
tion? It goes without saying that
Scotland Xeck needs some better pro
tection from fire. The Democrat
would be glad to see a better safeguard
against fire.
To Make Pure Blood
There is no medicine before the peo
ple equal to Hood's Sarsaparilla. It is
the standard spring medicine and blood
purifier and it possesses jeculiar merit
which others try in vain to reach. It

neglect to purify your blood this spring.
Take Hood's Sarsaparilla now.
Hood's Pills become the favorite ca
thartic with eyery one who tries them.

Justice Ruffin Killed.
Mr. Joseph Ruffin, a Justice of the
Peace living near Battleboro, went into
his field a few days ago where his hands
were at work. A difficulty of words
arose between him and some of the
uandg when one man struck him with
. .... ...
a shovel from which he lell uncon-
scious. Afterwards regaining conscious-
ness he went to his home but soon died
fl'om the effects of the blow.
The foregoing is in substance what
appeared in the daily papers. Mr. Ruf-
. . w
tin was a man of a family and left a
wife and several children.
Will Bring Suit.
Captain W. H. Kitchin is making
preparation for a suit to test the ques
tion as to whether or not the nine new
directors for the penitentiary were
properly elected. The suit will not be
Captain Kitchin's suit in name, but his
in interest, as it was agreed that he
should be made agent of the peniten
tiary by the new Board of Directors.
Captain Kitchin has employed Captain
W. H. Day and ex-Judge McRae. his
son, . . Jvitcmn, oi itoxuoro, anu
ex - Judge Spier Whitaker, of Raleigh.
The fight will be made largely on the
question of the election ot the new di
rectors. It was ruled bv the President
of the Senate that inasmuch as only
seventy-seven votes were cast for the
new directors, and eighty-six votes weie
a majority of the members of the Legislature-elect,
there being no quorum,
the election would not hold. Captain
Kitchin and his counsel will make the
point that it a majority of the members
of the Legislature present voted for the
new directors the election was valid, as
any other general legislative act would
have been, and the question of quorum
of the members-elect was not to be
considered.
Suit will probably be brought against
Governor Carr to compel him to issue
commissions to the nine newly-elected
directors ot the penitentiary. The leg
islature set the third Wednesday in
April as the time for the meeting ot
the new directors, and it depends upon
whether or not the five old directors
recognize and meet with the new ones
a3 to what proceedings will be taken in
the matter. Captain Kitchin is san
guine, and expects to win the suit for
the new directors, which means that in
that event be will be made the State's
agent for the penitentiary.
Resolutions of Sympathy. j

lowing resolutions were p ioptci :
Whereas it bath pleased the a!l-w:e
Father to remove irora our midt our

bow in humble submission to His will,
feeling that our loss is his eternal gain.
We extend our heartfelt sympathies to
his bereaved family.
While we cherish a lively recollection
of his virtues, we cover his frailties
with the mantle of that charity which
extends beyond the grave to the boucJ
less realms of eternity.
We rejoice in the hoje that we shall
meet in the celestial Lodge above.
where the Supreme Architect of the
universe presides; in that "house not
made with hands eternal in the heav
ens."
Resolved, That these resolutions be
entered upon the minutes of the Lodge,

ed and that the same be published in

Death of Mr. W. C. Thorne.
Mr. W. C. Thorne died at his home
in Enfield last Friday night, 22nd, at
12 o'clock.
For some time Mr. Thorne had been
suffering lrom an impairment ot his
eyesight, which grew worse until he
became perfectly blind. During the
last week of his life his sufferings were
intense, and for eighteen hours before
death relieved him of the struggle he
was unconscious.
Deceased was quite a young man, and
was struggling manfully in his chosen
profession, the law. For several years
he had been County Solicitor, and
during the last term of the Inferior
Court he prosecuted the causes with an
earnestness that was remarkable for one
who was totally blind. It was inspiring
to one free from disease to see with
what vigor he did his work and what
effort he made to meet the require
ments of his trust.
The remains were interred Sunday in
the family burying ground near Enfield.
Services were first held at the M. E
Church, ot which Mr. lhorne was a
consistent member, conducted by Rev
Mr. Rose, assisted by Rev. C. C. Whit
aker. Addresses were delivered by the
two ministers and by Mr. T. L. Whit
aker. At the grave the closing cere
monies were conducted by the Knights
of Honor, of which Mr. Thorne was a
member.
A large congregation attended the
funeral, and there was great sorrow and
universal regret for his death.
Mr. Thorne was a high-toned Chris
tian man, was well beloved by a large
circle of friends and acquaintances.
The county has lost one ot its most
valuable citizens. Deceased leaves a
wife and children, and The Democrat
joins their many friends in sympathy
with them in this sore bereavement.
A Pretty Romance.
Married October 0th, 1891, in Alex
andria, Va., by Rev. Henderson Suter,
rector of Christ Episcopal Church,
Sam'l B. Gregory and Miss Esther M.
Brewster, daughter of John T. and
Virginia Brewster, of Alexandria, Va.
The church above referred to is the
historic old church where Washington
and Lee worshipped.
Xotice of the marriage was only made
public yesterday. Simple as it is, a
pretty- romance may be read between
the lines, the principal dramatic per-
sonae being a prominent young Xorth
Carolinian, Samuel B. Gregory, of Hal
ifax County, and a young lady ot Alex
andria, Va., for, of course, there is "a
woman at the bottom" of every ro
mance. Esther Brewster, is tne beautiful 19
year old daughter of John T. Brewster,
an official in the Government Printing
Office. The Gregory and Brewster
families have long been friends, though
the young people had never met before
the fall of '93, when Gregory came to
Washington as Priyate Secretary to
Congressman Woodard. This was in
August, and during the extra session of
the 53rd Congress, and Gregory soon
made the acquaintance of the young
lady and became a frequent visitor to
her father's house. It was soon taken
for granted that they were mutually
attracted to each other and that there
would le a match, a circumstance that
seems to have met with the approval of
all parties concerned.
It appears, however, that the young
people apprehended some opposition to
an immediate marriage on the part of
their families because of their youth.
During the past winter Mrs. Gregory,
mother of Mr. Gregory, paid a visit to
Washington, and she saw a great deal
of Miss Brewster and became very
much attached to her though she did
not at all expect that she was learning
to love her daughter-in-law.
The notice appeared in this morning's
Washington papers. The Xews and
Observer correspondent called upon Mrs.
Hilhard, at whose house Mr. Gregory
boarded, but could learn nothing of
their whereabouts and at the Agricul
tural Department where he holds an
important position it was Itarned that
Mr. Gregory was on leave for some days.
It is probable that he is off on a wed
ding trip, taking his bride to his Xorth
Carolina home. Washington Cor. to

Harris Lithia Water Co.,
Harris Springs, S. C. :
We have been selling the Harris
Lithia Water for some time, and find
it a ready seller ; those who have tried
it are loud in its praise. The doctor
here regard it s::;.erior to either the
Buffalo or London berry Waters. We
predict for it a wonderful sale when its
merits become more generally known.
Yours verv truly,
RAYS OR & SMITH,
Prescription Druggist.
Asheville, X. C, April 21, 1S03.
An extended clinical u-e of the Har
ris Lithia Water prompts me to the
statement that I regard it as one of the
best, if not the best, Lithia Water
known to riie profession. In the con
dition of Phosphatic Urine, its action
is marvellous. Its use m the Rheu
matic and Gouty Diathesis afford me
more comfort than either the Buffalo
or Londonberry Waters. Very truly
