' ; E ANSWERS CALL OF THE REAPER Death Removes One Of The Coun ty's Most Widely Known And Universally Liked Citizens. HAS BEEN DAIVGERGcSLY ILL FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. Funeral From The First Baptist Church on Monday After noon At 4 O'clock. The Interment Here. After Riiffering for several weeks with a complication of diseases ag gravated by an affection of tho heart, Ex-Sheriff J. W. Biddle died at his home, No. 4 New street a few min utes after 10 o'clock last night. Thepassing of Ex-Sheriff J. W. Bid die removes from the life of NewBern a man who was truly great, not great in the worldly sense of the word in so far as the possession of great stores of worldly goods, but a man of whom no one can say the least word of evil but instead hold him up as an example of truth and hon esty a man who stood by his convic tions and did what was right regard less of the consequences. A review of the life of Mr. Biddle, who was seventy four years of age yesterday, brings out the fact that not another man in the county has surpassed him in achievements of helpful assistance to the city, county and State. Born near Fort Barnwell, be grew to young manhood there and at the out break of that great conflict between the States, took up arms in defense of his beloved south land, lie became a member of the famous cavalry troop of Col. Kuflin and was with him in many engage ments always distinguishing himself and bringing credit to his associates. Comes To New Bern. At the close of (he war Mr. Iiii' dle came to Xew Bern to make his home. Tho't- were the "dark davs" of Eastern Xorth Carolina and will forever live in history as the most perilous period of the section. Mr. Biddlo at once went into public life and won the support of those men who had no fear in their hearts ex cept the fear of God, and his record during that period was one of which any might justly feel proud. He held many public offices among which was that of county commissioner, register of deeds and sheriff, this latter office he having held for many years up until the advent of the pre sent incumbent. In his public life, as in his home life, he was fair and honest always doing what he thought was best and always ready and anxious to lend a helping hand to a friend in need and it has truly been said that he often caused himself privation by helping others when he should have helped himself. After having concluded serving the county as sheriff a, few years ago, Mr. Biddle was appointed a magis trate and had his office on Broad street near the corner o( Middle At the last' election he was chosen as one of the members of the Craven county Board of Commissioners and was to have entered upon his duties at the conclusion of the term of office of the present board. Death has removed him to a better land but the name : and the mem ory of James W. Biddle will live on through this generation and wiil be handed down' by them to the next, and in years to come it will be spoken of with pride ajid will be linked with those of North Carolina's immortal sons. Mr. Biddle is survived by his wife, formerly Miss iAlice Brown of this county and to whom he was wedded many years ago. . There are no child ren but a large number of near rela tives among whom ; are two sisters, Mrs.-B. A. Newland of Tennessee and Mrs. v Rosa Smith 1 of New Bern; four nieces, Miss Rosa Biddle and Mrs. John D. Whitford of New Bern, Mrs. Thomas Williamson of New York and Mr William Griswold of ; Durham. There are also a large number off distant relations' in this and other cities. The ' deceased : was a member of the ' local - lodge : of " Elks ; and the Knights of Harmony members from these orders will participate in ' the funeral ceremonies 'which ' Willi . be opnduoted from the First . Baptist chtifch tomorrow afternoon, at 4 JAMES o'clock by Rov. L. B. Padgett. -' s OF TEA BY STIRRING STATE Sociologists ortd Lawyers Unus ually Interested In Trie Men Who Are Doomed Tor Die Dec. 19.
