CrosJand died sud denly Thursday morning at his home in Wolf Pit township, of neuralgia of the heart. Capt. CrosJand was probably the ablest and most successful farmer in North Carolina. He took a waste of land 30 years ago and by energy and knowing how developed it into one of the most successful plantations in this state, producing an average of 1,500 or 2,000 bales of cotton per year. He entered the C. S. army when 17 years of age. Soon after the close of the war he located in An son county and was farming on the lands located in said county bordering on Pee Dee rirer, known as the Campbell plantation. While there he married Miss Virginia S. LcGrand. In the year 1879 he, with W. I. Everett, purchased a portion of the Har rington lands, where he has resid ed to the date of his death. There were four children by this marriage, all of whom are yet living His wife died soon af ter the birth of their fourth child. A few years !ater he married Miss Lou Evans, of Cumberland county. To them has been born seven children, one of whom died some few years since.

Tlie three men made some slight remark and kept on eating. In a few minutes Harvey came to the door and seeing Gil more Dickerson. fired at him, the ball striking him in the leg. He then turned his pistol on Hugh Price and fired at him but missed him. In the mean time Price got out into the yard and was in the act of stooping, presumably to pick up a rock, when Harvey shot him the second time, the ball striking him in the top of the head, killing him instantly. After Price had fallen Harrey shot him again. Monday morning a preliminary hearing was giren before Magis trate W. F. Ixngand Harrey was sent to court without bail.

A President of the United States may not be brilliant (Tyler, Buchanan and Hares were men of rery ordinary ability) but they hare all been men who fitly repre sented the moral manhood of the country. Old man Joe Cannon has plenty of brains but he can nerer come within a thousand miles of the presidency because he is a moral degenerate. No repre sentatire who spends his Sundays in Washington playing poker, as Joe Cannon is said to do, can erer hope to be President, no matter how capable he may be or how strong his "pull."

BRYAN'S IDEA of presidency Bis Sympathy Should be With tne Whole People Meeds Moral Coorre aai to Foret Person al Aatitioi. Under the heading, My Con ception of the Presidency," Col lier's Weekly prints the following by William J. Bryan: The President's power for good or for harm is often overestimated. Our government is a government of checks and balances; power is distributed among different de- partments, and eacn omciai works m co-operation with others. In v w a a the making of laws, for instance, j tt 1 1 , Witu W1C "" avv., aa um-j tuwm- mena, dui ne is powerless to legis- 1 1 . A 1 1 A.I late, except as a majority or tne . - , m a senate and tne iiouse concur witn . . w . mm. ine oenate and nouse are also independent of each other, eacn navmg a veto over tne otner; and the President has a veto over both, except that the Senate and tne House can, oy a two-tnrids vote, override the President's veto. T! Al iL - T ! J A uver legi.siauon is, wiereiore, am- ited, and he shares responsibility , l a- At m i . with a large number of the peo- pie's representatives. Even in the enforcement of law he is hedged about by restrictions, He acts through an Attorney General (whose appointment must be approved by the benate,) and offenders against the law must be prosecuted in the courts, so that a a nere again tne responsibiiiy is divided. In the making of im portant appointments, too, he must consult the Senate, and is. of necessity, compelled to exer cise care and discretion. The most important requisite in a President, Las in other officials, is that his sympathy shall be with the whole people, rather than with any fraction of the population, He is constantly called upon to act in the capacity of a judge de- j: i a it. : a :a- ciuiu uetweeu me liupurtuuitics of those who seek favors and the rights and interests of the public. Unless his svmoathies are right a 1 a 1 - 3 me lew are sure to uave au au- vantatre over the manv. for the masses have no one to present . r . their claims.

He must possess the moral courage to stand against the in t. . . a fluences that are brought to bear in favor of special interests. In act, the quality of courage is as essential in a public official as either right sympathies or a trained mind. A President must have counsel ors, and, to maice wise use oi counselors, he must be open to A 1 P conviction. The President is com mitted by his platform to certain policies, and the platform is bind ing; he is also committed to cer tain principals of government, and these he is in duty bound to apply in all matters that come be ore him. But there is a wide zone in which he must act upon his own judgement, and here he ought to have the aid of intelligent, conscientious, and faithful ad visers. The law provides these to a a a a certain extent, in giving mm a a a 1 a 1 err 1 I cabinet, and tne v ice j-resioeni ought to be made a member of the cabinet ex-officio, in oruer, first, hat the President may have the benefit of his wisdom and knowl edge of affairs, and; second, that the Vice President may be better prepared to take up the work of the President and those who oc cupy positions of influence in the co-ordinate branches of the gov- erment for our government is not a one-man government, but a gov ernment in which the chosen rep resentatives of the people labor together to give expression to the will of the voters. But the Presidency is the high est position in the world, and its occupant is an important factor in all national matters. If he is a devout believer in pur theory of government, recognizes the con stitutional distribution of powers, trusts thoroughly in the people and fully sympathizes with them in their aspirations and hopes, he has an opportunity to do a splen did work; he occupies a vantage ground from which he can exert w noisome influence in favor of each forward movement. The responsibilities of the office . A . are so great that the occupant ought to be relieved of every per sonal ambition to prove worthy of the care of his country. For this reason he ought to enter the posi tion without thought or prospect of a second term. While the burdens of such an office are heavy, and while the abors of the office are exacting and exhausting, the field of ser vice is large, and, measuring greatness, by service, a President, by consecrating himself to the public weal, can make himself secure in the affections of his fel- ow-citizens while he lives and create for himself a permanent place in his nation's history.''

FQCflM ,ni- LCdauw When the Lord told Samuel to go and anoint one of the sons of Jesse, the humanitv of the nro phet is quickly seen. Listen, r'If Saul hear it. he will kill me!" The prophet is given directions as I to the manner of procedure and starts upon the errand. His com ing stirs the people and they in- quire of the purpose of the visit and are told that the visit is one of peace. Jesse and his sons are sent for and the inspection begins. Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his statute." God is seeking a MAN not a ohvsical man but a true man, one that will follow Him and lead Israel. The seven sons are rejected and the lad that is tending the sheep is sent for and accepted and an nomted. I pccriM TRUTHS God does not tell Samuel every thing at first.

Not how we look, but what we are, should be the first care of our lives. 'It has so often been God's way to fand His agents in unexpected places. A great king is found in a sheepfold. The prime minister of Egypt was found in the prison. ' 'Honor'and shame from no.condition rise ; Act well yonr part; there the honor lies." 'It often happens that men neg lect the very person, whom God has chosen for the highest honor. Let us try to honor men as God honors them." It is a blessed truth that it is God, not chance, God, not demons, God, not nen, who decides that part of our lives which is beyond our control. God rules the world. He is watching it. He has a masterful interest in it. He called David to his place as King. Does He not still have the same interest in the nations? The working out of life's plan depends upon ourselves, our use . . . of what God has given us, our faithfulness in life's daily uties. "If we only strive to be pure and true, To each of us there will come an hour When the tree of life shall burst into flower And rain at our feet a glorious dower Of something grander than ever we knew-'" God is preparing us for our kingdom. Everyone is born a king, kings over circumstances, kings oyer nature, New occasions teach new duties; time makes Ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and on ward, who would keep abreast of Truth."

Jerome translated the Bible into Latin here- at the close of the fourth century, A. D. This is known as the Vulgate translation. The Crusaders took Bethlehem when they gained Jerusalem. In the twelfth century the King of Jerusalem made it the seat of a bishop. LESSON PARABLES. Jehovah looketh on the heart. One of the missionaries was trans lating the Bible into the language of a heathen people and could not find a word to express hypocrisy and calling a native explained the idea and asked for a word. Quickly the native replied, "I know, I know, it is to put a clean mat over a dirty floor." Goodly to look upon. Baroness Von Schwitzer of Boumania was famous for her beauty and when she reached the age of fifty, she realized that her beauty was fad ing. She was beginning to look old. She tried every appliance and at last decided that failure was inevitable, and that she mast at aa. ai Special Editor. caccsS(xt&r submit to the fate of every nnrlnl. After brooding over it for some time, she killed herself, leaving a note saying that she was determined not to survive her beauty. It was a pity that she had not the rather striven for that beauty of character which as age comes on, charms with tho more force. TEACHER, TALK NO. I A teacher can not properly teach without the co-ojeiatioif of the pupil. Underneath all laws of teaching lies this truth, (io after the pupil's co-oieration. Sometimes you can secure this co operation through the parent. Sometimes you can not.

Some parents need to be led themselves into bi ble study, (io after the parent, a private conversation with a moth er will often mean much. Make it a private, pra3rerful conversation. Bryan's Chances to Win Have Noer Been So Good. (Charity and Children) The man who thinks Mr. Taft will have a walk-over for the presidency is very much mistaken. Mr. Bryan has tho best chanco of his life to win the goal that for the past ten years ha.s been the dream of his life. In the first' place, there has been a great change come over tho public mind with regard to the man him self. Heretofore he has been con sidered a dreamer and a radical who, if he ever reached tho White House, would revolutionize busi ness conditions and bankrupt the country. For the past year or two his utterances have been so sensible and strong that the feel ing of apprehension and fear of his financial policy lias largely subsided. Besides, Mr. Taft is up against a distressing panic that has not yet passed away, and the longer it lingers the harder it will be for the Republican candi date, as the Democrats have been in a decided minority for the past eight or ten years. The cam paign promises to be one of uii- usal interest, and at this writing it is entirely impossible to fore cast the result. Mr. Roosevelt- is a man of marvelous acumen, but Mr. Roosevelt is not running this year, and .Mr. tart, tlioujjh an abler man, has not shown tho same skill in the game of politics. aBSBBaaBSaeBxaBBCsz-s2A-Aai Plan of Selecting Juries in Homicide Cases Should Be Changed. (StateHville Landmark) Judge Neal is doin the State and the cause of right and justice a great service, as well as setting a worthy example to other judges and public men, by calling atten tion to the failure of justice in homicide cases and the cause. 1 1 cannot be 'denied that .under tlie present law a prisoner charged with a capital offence is practical ly permitted to select his own jury. Any good lawyer, as Judge Neal says, is suflicently well ac quainted with the people of his county to pick a jury favorable to his client; and if tho jury does not acquit it will, in the great ma jority of cases, convict of a less offence and thus save the offender from the punishment ho justly dp serves. Time and again efforts have been made in the Legislature to change this law this fruitful source of the miscarriage of jus tice and the efforts have failed. They can only be successful when public sentiment is-so aroused on the subject that it will brook no interference. There is ground for hope when Superior Court judges, who must fully realize the cause for so many failures of jus tice, give their influence to arous ing this sentiment.' All honor to Judge Neal! The public men and newspapers who believe in a just and fair administration of the law who believe that crime should be punished should give support to Judge Neal. Hydrophobia to Be Treated at Raleigh at Actual Cost.
