LIEUT. EDWIN S. SANDERS. A Tribute to a Gallant Young Offi cer and Soldier of the Civil War. MY AN OI,D COMKADE. Those who fell in battle did not die iu vain. Though the cause for which they fought, forever perished from among men at Ap pomattox, yet, the memory of the patient sufferings, and hard ships, fatigue aud danger endur ed by the Confederate soldiers in the discharge of duty, will ever be cherished iu the hearts of our countrymen. In attempting to writoof Lieut. Edwin S. Sanders, the mind goes back to the 10th day of May, 1SG4, ut Rrewry's bluff, Yu., to that ever memorable charge upon the enemy's breastworks by Han som's Brigade. The charge by the 21 tli Itegi- j meut NorthCarolinaTroops, was some .'{()() yards over fallen tim ber. Reaching the works which only divided the two lines, the struggle became desperate Men were falling like sheaves before the sickle; human fortitude could uo longer stand the mighty shock. The 21th Regiment for the first time in tier history, was iorceil to fall hack in some disor der. Lieutenant-Colonel Harris: in command, ordered the Regi ment to reform, preparatory to a second charge. Capt. Lane, of Company E, upon netting his men together, found that he had left untouched, himself, Lieut. Lee, Sergt. Creech and the writer of this sketch. The charge was , made however, with the same heroic dash as the first, and upon ( reaching the works a second time the enemy had fled, he hav-j, ing been as badly whipped as we had been. i Looking around, the heart was , made sick at beholding our dead and wounded. Nearly, or quite , one-half of the Regiment that went into the first charge, had fallen. Among the dead was Lieutenant Sanders who fell ; within a few feet of the enemies' line pierced through , the head by a mime ball. Lieutenant Sanders was a gal lant, brave and efficient offi -cer. In camp and on the march , he was as modest and refined as , he was brave on the field, the i wiiter never having heard a word escape his lips that would be unbecoming a gentleman in the presence of ladies. Had he lived he would have become Cap tain of the company upon the resignation of Captain Lane. He first saw service in the Rrd North Carolina Cavalry and was elected from the ranks in that branch of the service in ISO.'f First Lieutenant in Company E, 21th North Carolina Troops. Lieutenant Edwin Smith San ders was the son of Mr. Ransom -dSanders, of this county, and was born January 5th, 18,'17, aud was therefore, 27 years old when ; he gave his young life for his country. He graduated at our State University in the class of 1858. He was truly a noble young i mau of blessed memory. ' i W. N.Rose,Jr., i Overshot, N. C. November 1st, 11)02 Disastrous Wrecks. Carelessness is responsible for j many a railway wreck and the same causes are making human wrecks of sufferers from Throat j and Lung troubles. But since the advent of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs a-d Colds, even the worst cases can be cured and hopeless resignation is no longer neces sary.

Powell jumped on an inverted rake made of ten penny nails, and thrust one nail entirely through her foot and a second one half way through. Chamberlain's Pain Balm was promptly applied and five minutes later the pain had disappeared and no more suffering was experienced. In three days the child was wearing her shoe as usual and with abso lutely nodiscomfort. Mr. Powell ? is a well known merchant of Fork land, Va. Pain Balm is an anti septic and heals such injuries without maturation and in one thjrd the time required bv the usual treatment. For sale by Cayenaugh & Benson, Hood Bros. Hare k Son. THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATIONS. Thursday, November 27th. Set Apart as a Day ot Thanksgiving and Prayer. Thefollowing proclamation has been issued by President Roose velt, designating Thursday, No vember :i7ih, as aday of Thanks giving: According: to the yearly custom of our people, it falls upon the President at this season to ap point a day of festival and thanksgiving to (Jod. Over a century and a quarter has passed since this country took its place among the nations of the earth, and (luring that time we have had on the whole more to be thankful for than hat fallen to the lot of any other peo ple. Generation after generation lias grown to manhood and pass ed away. Each has had to bear its peculiar burdens, each to facej its special crisis, and each has known years of grim trial, when the country was menaced by, malice, domestic or foreign levy, when the hand of the Lord was heavy upon it in death or flood or pestilence, when in bodily (lis tress and anguish of soul it paid the penalty of the folly and for ward heart. Nevertheless,, de cade by decade, we have strug gled onward and upward, we now abundantly enjoy material well-being, and under the favor of the Most High we are striving earnestly to achieve moral and spiritual uplifting. The year| that has just closed has been one of peace and overflowing plenty. Rarely has any people enjoyed greater prosperity than we are now enjoying. For this we ren- j Jer heartfelt and solemn thanks to the (liver of good; and we seek to praise Him not by words only but by deeds, by the way in j which we do our duty to our-! selves and to our fellowmen. Now, therefore, I. Theodore Roosevelt, President of the Uni ted States, do hereby designate as a day of general thanksgiving, Thursday the twenty-seventh lay of November, and do recom mend that throughout the land the people cease from their ordi nary occupations, and in their several homes and places of wor ship render thanks unto Almighty God for the manifold blessings of the past year. In witness whereof I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the City of Washing ton, this 29th day of October, in the year of our Lord, one thous and nine hundred and two. and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-seventh. Governor Aycock issued the following proclamation: The State has greatly prosper ed during the past year. In the main our farmers have made good crops and received fair prices for them. Manufacturers; have reasonably succeeded, labor hue received a just reward for service, the State has had peace, j quiet and good order. For all' of these blessings we owe ac-; knowledgment to the Lord.! Things do not happen, but the hand of God is in every happi- J ness that comes to the people. It j is appropriate that a Christian State should acknowledge its ob ligations to God for the blessings which it has enjoyed. 1, Lliarles is. AycocK, iiovernor of the State of North Carolina, therefore, issue this mv procla mation, setting apart Thursday, November the twenty-seventh, inst.,asdayof Thanksgiving and prayer, upon which day 1 urge all people to meet in their re spective places of worship and there to thank God for the mani fold mercies which He has shown to us individually and as a peo ple, and to ask for His protec tion and guidance in the future. I earnestly recommend that on this day all our people shall give | as God has prospered us unto those who are needy, particular ly to thewidows and orphans. Done at our City of Raleigh, this the seventh day of Novem ber, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and two, and in the one hundrd and twen ty-seventh year of our American independence.

(8uu<lay*e News and Observer.) To the Editor: I nek your per-1 mission to say a few word* iu I reference to the candidacy of Hon.1 EdwardS. A bell for Speaker of the next House of Representa-! tives. The claim* of Mr. Abellj will be earnestly pressed by his friends all over the State, and it gives me pledsurer to say that his chances of success are growing brighter every day. 1 predict hisi election, lie, well deserves the; honor, both on his own account and as a representative of our; rock-ribbed Democratic county. Mr. A bell has seldom been a candidate for office, but it has frequently been the case that the Democratic party has demanded his services. It can be said that he bus never sought office, but the value of his service being recognized by his friends and his party he has yielded to their demands. He was elected a mem ber of the House of Representa tives in 18N7, Presidential elector in 1S!?2, and lie was one of the handful of Democratic Senators elected in lS'Jo, and again iu He was instant iu season and uut of season during both Fusion Legislatures in his efforts to curb the extravagance of those two bodies and, as far as possible, to prevent the debauchery of his State. Of course he could do but little, but he did what he could. It required nerve to make the campaigns of '94 and '9b. At times it looked as though the old Democratic party was doomed to destruction. The Populist party was using every energy to fix itself in North Carolina. Their leaders came into Johnston county, but on every occasion when these men met to assail and slander the Democratic party, Ldward S. Abell was there to defend the principles of the party he loved and believed to be right. Mr. Abell was one of the men who stood firm, aud who never flinched. Lie has never had any appology to offer for Democracy. The people of our county know that every word of this is is true. But his friends will not insist upon his election because of his political fitness alone. It.is true, tie is a Democrat, proud of the name and proud of the history of his party. Hut more than this, he is a man of fine intelli gence, a cultured gentleman and a lawyer of ability. As presiding officer over almost any delibera tive body, he would be a pro nounced success. He is quick and well equipped. But above all if he shall be elected Speaker, he will preside with fairness and with absolute impartiality towards every member. There is hardly a person in Johnston county, Democrat or Republican, black or white, who does not hope that Mr. Abell will be elected. The writer has observed his course in several campaigns. In the last two campaigns he has been chairman of the Executive Committee of Johnston county, aud he has found Mr. Abell's assistance well nigh indispensa ble His knowledge of men, his energy, his willingness to serve, have been indispensable in the organization of the campaigns of this county. In behalf of the Democrats of Johnston county, 1 tender him to the Democrats of the next House of Representatives and request their support. W. W. Cole, I)em. Ex. Com. iSmithfleld, N. C., Nov. 15.
