At a meeting of the bar of Rock ingham county held at half-past two o'clock on July 27th, 1898, the following proceedings were had in respect of the memory of Colonel Elijah Benton Withers, deceased. Mr. James T.

Scott, Thomas Reid, Jiilum Johnston and Charles U. Manichael .were unanimously adopted by a rising vote.

The Bar of the Superior Court of Rockingham county, State of North Carolina, puts aside for the time the burdens and cares of the pro fession and turns in loving sorrow to contemplate the -virtues of a dis tinguished member who -recently responded to that mysterious sum mons of death, and to record as a perpetual memorial, a weTl merited tribute of respect to his life, his character and ms works which have ifollowed him to his higher sphere, and the influences of which impel his bretheren to this duty of love and justice. : Without warning, but none the less prepared, Elijah Benton With ers died at his home in the city of Danville, Va., on April 23d, 1898. He was a native of North Carolina, and was born December 31,. 1S36. He received his education at the day schools of his home and at the University of this State, from which institution he was graduated in the summer of 1859. ; He was trained for the bar, and after leav ing the University he began the practice of his profession at Yan- THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF RGS is due not only to the originality "and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill -with, which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the importance of purchasing; the true and original remedy.

C, in 1860 ; but the rapid and serious political events of that period soon changed the arena of his action from the quiet office to the noisy, and turned his energies from the forum of justice to the : field of ' battle where his dearest duties were done and his jroudest moments spent. He . en isted with the troops of his State and served through the Civil war from 1861 to 1865 with marked abili y and gallantry and rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Thirteenth North Carolina Regiment which he commanded on the fateful day of Appomattox. To his devotion, courage and en durance as a soldier, an army of witnesses have testified for thirty odd years, and the thinned and battered ranks of his old comrades, as they placed the tear flowers on his grave, gave final proof of the strength and integrity of his sol dier life; Of his own action in the midst of those" days of danger bis modesty rarely permitted hint to speak, but that host of admiiing friends and comrades who watched him, all tell the same story, that no braver soldier wore the sword and in no eye more brightly flashed the fire of battle than in his. At the close of the war he re turned to his home in North Caro lina and resumed the practice of his profession, Interrupted only by the political demand made upon him by an admiring people. He served them faithfully and fought the enemies of his State in the times of re construction with the same vigor and open-hand bravery that had characterized him as a soldier. As a member of the Con stitutional Convention arid also of the State Legislature, he did faith ful and efficient work for his con stituents. ; In 1876 he removed to the city of Danville, in the State of Virginia, and devoted his time and abilities to the practice of law, but never allowing it at any time to absorb his life ' and character, as marked by his bretheren and noted as most ; worthy of their emulation, and earnestly recommended to the yotihger members of the ba. and indeed to young and old of all call-' ings were the integrity, strong common sense and excellent judg ment which gave to his views great weight with all sensible ; and con servative people, and made him a most valuable counsellor ; and friend, a wise and prudent lawyer and a strong advocate. His honesty was a stern lorce; his convictions were clear cut and deep; his courage was modest and gentle but sensi tive and inflexible; and his integ rity was as bright and pure as the sparkling waters of the mountain stream. His dealings were all di rect, and to the line of truth be hewed. His friendship was sincere and honest, frank, loyal and warm. He possessed a Catholic charity and deep sympathy. Wrong and oppression he hated and resented with all the energy of his nature. Pomp, circumstance and sham were to him a most interesting, instruc tive and agreeable companion. These were the qualities of the man and brother wl ose memory this bar seeks to perpetuate, and with this recital of his many good qualities it is resolved: ; That his family, especially his widow : and children have the tender sympathy of his professional bretheren and , friends with the confident conviction that they must and will find solace and sure conso lation in the contemplation of the good life that was his, and in the re-union assured to tnem in the bright life beyond the limits of time. That a copy of the proceedings jf this meeting, with these resolu tions be sent to the family of the deceased and the county newspa pers. ..... ' That the Chairman of this meet ing request the Solicitor to present this memorial to the Superior court of Rockingham county at this, July term 1898, and ask that the . same be made a part of the records of said court. Respectfully and affectionately repoited, c R. B. Glenn Committee 1 11. R. Scott ( P. B. Johnston. The Best Remedy for Flux.

Carter, the army en gineer officer, who is alleged to have defrauded the government out of $3,000,000 while in charge of river and harbor improvements at Savannah, Ga.', will suffer in pun ishment more severely than any officer ever tried by court-martial in this country on similar charges. Carter, being found guilty,; was sentenced by the court to dismissal from the army, imprisonment in some penitentiary for a period of between 10 and 20 years, to forfeit aU pay, and besides all these penal ties an additional and unusual one which provides that the 100th arr ticle of war shall be applied to his case, and, if it is carried out, the facts irl Carter's case will be pub lished broadcast through the coun try, and at his own home the local papers ; will be required to print advertisements calling attention to the disgrace he has brought on himself. . Further, any .. officer speaking to or addressing Carter will bn ac cused and tried for scandalous con duct. It is the intent of this pro vision to call attention inlhe most public fashion to an officer's dis grace, and to specifically emphasize the facts before his own people at home. The case is still before the Secretary of War for action and from him will be forwarded to the President. THE COMING STATESMAN. What Senator Sttwait Thinks of Hon. W. W. Kltcfaia. Oxford Ledger. Hon. W. W. Kitchid, .who repre sents this district in Congress, and who has just been unanimously re nominated, is regarded by Senators and Representatives with whom he has served,' as being one of the ablest members of that body. Al though Mr. Kitchin has been in Congress but one term he has achieved national fame, and by his independence, says the Durham Sun, force and purity of character, intimate knowledge of public mat ters, brilliant intellect and genial manner he has Wofl the respect and admiration of his political oppo nents as well as his own party. ; The : Silver Knight-Watchman, edited by Senator W. M. Stewart, in its issue of July 14th, devotes over two pages to our pure and no ble Kitchin, a Christian and high type of manhood. A . splendid large sisSe cut, a sketch by Senator Stewst-lsnd principal part of a fine speech delivered by Mr. Kitchin on the coinage question, in the House of Representatives, March 24th, 1898, is given. We cannot refrain ' rom laying before our readers a portion of this sketch of one of the purest men that ever represented the masses of the Fifth District, as follows: 'Hon. William W. Kitchin, of North Carolina, although a new member Of the House of Represen tatives, "and in years one of the youngest members of that body, has achieved national fame as an orator, and is looked upon as one of the coming men 01 the South. . Mr. Kitcbiti is not only a brilliant and magnetic orator, but a careful and industrious student of public ques tions. 1 The intimate knowledge he has already dif played upon all mat ters of puMic concern, his indepen dence ; and force of character, coupled with a genial manner, has won him the confidence and esteem of his fellow members. "The first general introduction of Mr,' Kitchin. to the public was at the Grand Opera House in Wash ington, July 4, 1897, when, as one of-the orators of the day, he electri fied hia hearers and- won the Un bounded applause of the vast audi ence assembled, among whom were many of the leading statesmen from several of the States. The au dience i had just listened to . the greatest Fourth of July oration ever debvered in the Nation's capi tol city from the lips of the match less Virginia orator and statesman, Hon. John W. Daniel. Any man who conkl follow Mr. Daniel on that occasion and win applause need not hesitate at any undertaking of a similar character that may ever afterwards fall to his lot. 'Early in the late session of Con gress Mr. Kitchin attracted general attention by his vigorous attack on what he denominated the fraud or the spy fund, which is the fund from which those' who secretly in form the government of the viola tions of the revenue law are paid. His spee'.h in opposition to the bond issue and other unnecessary and unjust features of the war rev enue bill are tinanswerable. His opposition to the annexation of Hawaii was characterized by great ability, strength and determination. Mr. Kitchin is a zealous bimetal list, thorou&bly imbued with the tenet of the Chicago platform, and ought to receive the hearty support of all opposed to the gold .standard rule of monopoly; We sinceiely trust that all who are opposed to these things will see to it that Mr. Kitch in is continued in Congress that his splendid abilities may contribute to the welfare of his State and nation."

When a party of middle aged wom en get together alone, a common theme of conversa tion is their phys ical ailments It would be better if these discussions of the ailments peculiar to women took place twenty years earlier in life. 1 If a little of the prudery of mod ern society were banished, so that young' women talked these subjects over among themselves, there would be less suffering among women in middle life. j1- Good health is the best endowment that a human being can have. Good general health among women is largely dependent upon good local health in a womanly way. Through ignorance and neglect it has be come -such an ordinary, common -place . thing for women to suffer from weakness and disease of the delicate and important feminine organism, that many women have come to look upon these troubles as an unavoidable inheritance. This is a mis take. All troubles of this nature may be cured in the privacy of the home, without undergoing the obnoxious "examinations and "local treatment" insisted upon by the average physician. Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription gives health, elastic strength and vitality to the sensitive organs concerned. It allays inflammation, heals ulceration and frees from pain. It tones the nerves and builds up the nerve centers. It makes a woman healthy and strong, and thos prepares her for healthy wifehood, capable motherhood and a safe transition at the change of life. "I want to testify to the great benefit derived from using Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. H. Mason, of Strykersville, Wyo ming Co.. N. V. " I commenced using it about three 'months before confinement. With my former confinement I suffered greatly, while this one was comparatively easy, owing to the use f U ' Favorite Prescription.' " 1 T 1 Ml M CM I 1 1 1 hi: j ui 1 ' 1111 mm A Cry tor Help. Winston Sentinel. In the western part of the State we have seen and felt some of the results of 'the deplorable and dis graceful state of affairs brought about by the incompetent and cor rupt government under which we are now living but this condition of thinks is far more impressive to the people of the eastern "part of the State, where there are many more of that class of voters that can be ured as mere tools in the hands of designing politicians of both 1 aces. v The. cry for help comes to the white people of the West from the white people; of the East. They ask us to aid them in throwing off the shackles that sorely oppress them. This is one .incentive to the white people of western Carolina to vote for white supremacy. But more than this. If the present state of corruption is endorsed at the polls next November, tbe tricksters and demagogues will grow bolder and the humiliating methods now prac ticed in the East will grow-worse there and will spread to this section and att intolerable reign will per vade the Commonwealth. So that another incentive to the people of the West is self-preservation from the ills that now afflict us and the worse things that the Re publican party has to store for us. A few days ago, we pointed out the sfd condition that prevails at Greenville. In the following arti cle from the Wilmington Messenger we find hints of the demoralizing situation at other points in the East, together with a Macedonian call to -come over and help us." The Messenger says : ..- "The white men of populous wes tern Oarolina must come up to the help, the relief of the eastern sec tion of a common State. We are all North. Carolinians, and the West cannot rightly and humanely and patriotically remain indifferent to the deplorable state of affairs in all the eastern portion. The other day 35 - magistrates tn Craven county met and 27 we're negroes. We have not seen the, precise figures but re peat as we recall what was told us. The figures appeared in the Raleigh News and Observer. Think , of the condition of a county or community in whica three fourths or one-half or one fourth of tbe magistrates are negroes. Such a condition is enough to prompt every white fam ily to move out at once and find civ ilization. In Halifax county there are eight negro postmasters han dling the private mails of the white people. The prosperous town of Scotland Neck, situated in one of the finest and ' most attractive sec tions of North Carolina, and this writer has visited 51 counties, is af flicted with a negro postmaster put in by McKmley through the saucy and inflated negro White with the wrong mtme. Then burly blacks are visitors to white public schools to look 'after their interests. ; It is surprising that they made more than one visit. Wilmington is com pletely in the hands of the enemy and under negro bossing. Russell, who lives here, is the very worst enemy Wilmington ever had. No carpetbagger, with his grip sack and a box of pa per collars, who dominated here for awhile was ever so hateful to the white people of the town or ever such an enemy ol its peace and safety and prosper ity." ? Robbd Ibe (jirave. A startling incident of which Mr. John Oliver, of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as 'ollows: . "I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite1- gradually growing weaker day jby day. Three physi cians had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised : trying 'Electric Bitters, and to my great joy and surprise, thefirst bottle made a de cided improvement. I continued their use for, three weeks, and am now a well man. I know they saved my life, ; and robbed the grave of another victim.". No one should fail to try them. : Only 50 cents per bottle at Allen's and Sapp's drug stores. DEVt'EY SETTLES IT. Yon Cannot GrVe Up tbe Philippines Now, Mr. President , New Yo-k TetPffram. - ' To Admiral Dewey goes the hon or of striking the first and the last great blow in the war. The first, struck ten days after the war opened, annihilated Spain's naval power in the Far East, trans ferred Manila Bay and Cavite to American custody and shattered Spanish sovernty in the Philippines The last, dealt twenty four hours after the peace protocol had been signed and an armstice proclaimed, but before the news could be got to the intrepid Admiral, sent the American flag to the citadel of Ma nila and the Spanish Governor General to flight in a sympathizing German war ship. - That settles the Philippine ques tion and seals the future of the archipelago. -" The flag now floats over the Phil ippine capital not by leave of Spain, but by triumph mt American arms, and there it must float forever. It must mafk the end of Spanish reign not alone in Manila, but in the Philippines. It must usher in American supremacy not merely in the capital, but throughout the is lands. : . - : The time has now passed for talk ing nonsense about 'a coaling sta tion" and holding "Manila and sur rounding country." ' Dewey has secured "the whole outfit" and we must keep it. -:-yJ': He has settled the question and it is not to be unsettled. His guns have thundered to Eu rope "hands off," and the nation must stand by him. He has closed the door to Euro , pean war and the American nation must cry amen ! You can't give up the Philippines now, Mr. McKinley. EX-SENATOR JARVIS TALKS. By Hard Work the Party Can Elect Both Branches ei lbs Legislature and the Judges. Ex-Senator T. J. Jarvis was in Charlotte one day recently. A rep resentative of The Observer called on ; him at the Buford Hotel, and asked him his opinion of the pros pects for Democratic success this fall. He replied that with harmony and united action on the part of the Democrats of North Carolina and this harmony and unity were every where apparent he thought that the' prospects for Democratic sue cess t were excellent, and that the party would carry both house? of the Legislature and elect its judges. This could not bo done, however, he said, without the hardest kind of work, and every Democrat would have to do his duty at the polls. "I have been traveling over the State," continued Mr. Jarvis; "I have been recently in the principal eastern counties, as far up the southern border line as Hamlet, as far up the northern border as Rock ingham , county, and . then south through the State to this point. Studying conditions closely, I ob serve three things: . "The Democrats are united, har moniously and determined. ' "A great many Populists have re turned to the Democratic party,and a great many more are debating the matter, and will come back. "The Republican party is disor ganized and dispirited. "These conditions existing, we ought to carry the State. "As a general rule Republican Populist fusion will be arranged, with exceptions in certain counties. But fusion between the leaders does not 'mean that it will carry the Populist vote. Conscientious Popu: lists will not endorse it." "Do you mean to say that the Populist mam are losing confi dence in their leaders?" . I do. The masses of the Popu ulist party have come to see that all anybody has got out of the Pop ulist movement is what the leaders have ; got in the way of offices by trading with the Republicans. A large numler of intelligent Popu lists realize that the only pract cal outcome of the Populistic move ments of 1S94 and 1896 has been pie for the Populist leaders and bad government for the people. I, my self have heard many Populists say that when they went into pop ulism for free silver, they did not expect to get negro government and - to see the towns of the State turned over to the negroes. In my county, out of a great many who were active Populists two and four years , ago, some went into the Democratic primaries and others are outspoken in regard to the ex isting conditions of affaire." v . "Will the Democrats elect most of their Congressmen f " I would say that Crawford would be elected in the ninth dis trict, Kluttz in the seventh, Bel lamy in. the sixth, Kitchin in the fifth, and Thomas in the third. Our chances in the other districts depend upon local troubles between Populists and Republicans now ex isting there. "I would especially emphasize the importance of individual work. If our Democratic people will be conservative, moderate, and yet, at the same tiu.e, earnest in their efforts with our Populist friends, personal intercourse can bring a great many back.'"

Lost His Life While Bathing In Boyd's Tc l Last Week. Thursday afternoon ilr. H;nj in 1 R. Smith in company with lie. AlvU Millner rode out to IJoyil's porrl o i his bicycle to take a swim. Tl. y went in swimming and stayed in't' o water quite awhile. Mr. Ilillrer came out and called to youn Ssnith to do likewise. Ben said he v, o ;! I swim across the pond onca more. Millner was cleaning up his bio yds when he heard young Smith maka a peculiar noise. He turned toward the pond to see what was the troabla hut could not see him because tho boat house obstructed hi3 view. lie ran down to tho hank but before he reached it Smith had disappeared from sight. A negro boy who was standing on the bank said he beard Ben cry out and saw him struglin in the water. Ho says he 6aw Lira come to the furface three times. Mr. H. R. Scott and GlalJie Flournoy were in a boat about COO yards up the pond and they al3o saw young Smith disappear but thought he was diving. They watched to see him reappear and soon became alarmed - and pulled for tho epot. When they reached it they Baw no signs of the unfortunate young man and were at once convinced that he had lost his life. Mr. Scott drove to Ileidsville with all possible speed to bring the sad intelligence. The news spread rapidly and in a few minutes dozens of hacks, buggies and other vehicles were on the way to the pod loaded with men to search for tte body. Soon the bottom cf the pond was being dragged near the spot he was last seen. All night Thursday the search was dilligently carried on by willing hands bat no trace of the body could be found. Fully two hundred people telped in the search. Friday morning a couple of seines, weighted down with a lo;r chain, were carefully dragged throa the pond. . Dozens of divers covcrc I apparently every inch of that portion of the water. It began to look like a hopeless task and many began to get discouraged, believing that the body would never be found until such time as the waters voluntarily gave up their dead. Dynamite bombs were exploded in the hopes of brings ing the body to the surface. Last Fr.day afternoon Mr. J. W. Arring ton. Dr. J. II. Redd and a number of others in a boat succeeded in finding the corpse a few yards above tho 6 pot he was seen to go under. It had doubtless been dislodged from the roots of a sunken snag by tho explosion of tho dynamite. The body showed no signs of decompo sition and appeared natural and life-like. It was evident that young Smith came to his death by either heart failure or the rupture of a blood vessel as the usual signs ot drowning did not show. He was an expert swimmer and diver. The pond at the place the body was found wa? nearly fifteen feet deep. The funeral services were conducted by Rector Fetter from St. Thomas' Episcopal church late Saturday af ternoon and the remains laid to rest in Grecnview cemetery. lie was Batallion Adjutant of tie Third North Carolina Regiment and was buried with military honors by the members of his old company, the Reidsville Rifles. Young Smith was a member of the Episcopal chnrch and was the superintendent of that Sunday-school. An unusually Iar;;o crowd followed tho remains to their final resting place.
