ASH WEDNESDAY AND LENT.
Rev. Mr. Pruden writes in the Dur
ham Sun as follows, concerning this day:
To-morrow is Ash Wednesday, the first
day of Lent. It is so ca'lled because the
rriest used to place ashes in the form
of a- cross on the heads of persons who
sought pardon for their sins. .
The day is a strict fast aud will be ob
served at St. Philip's church as follows:
7 a. m., administration of the Holy Com
munion; 10:30 a. m. Litany, Penitential
office and sermon.
Hancock Says He Was Once Russell's Sep
vant, But No Longer-The Board Yester
day Removed Him from Presiv
dencyof A. & N. C. R. R,
(News an-1 Observer.)
Newborn, Feb. 22. (Staff Correspon
dence.) Out of tin? Hancock scandal
may grow the impeachment of Governor
Russell by the next Legislature.
That is the belief here to-night after
the adjournment of the Atlantic ami
North Caroliua Railroad Directors.
Though in session only an hour, it wa:
As we again stand on the threshold quite a scnyatioiml meeting. Hancock ie-
of the Lenten feast it is well to pause
awhile and ask ourselves what lis Lent?
The name Lent is derived from the the
Anglo-Saxon word Lenten, meaning
fused to give up ivs office, but notwith
standing his protect,' the resolution dis-
misisng (him was passed.
'J his done, the board adjourned to
Spring, and so may he called the Spring mwt " in this city March 8th. They
'fast, and is kept in commemoration of
the forty days epeiit by our dear Lord
in the wilderness. The Lenten" fast has
been observed and kept 'by the church
from a from a very early date. Traces of
its observance are found in the writings
of Irenaeus 130-200, A. D., and Origen
200-253, A. I).
"Life is a way, the christian life is
the pathway towards heaven, and Lent
in the Test by the way. As Christ said
to the Apostles, "Come ye apart into a
desert place and rest awhile," so the
church would bid her faithful children
to come apart for a. while from the on-
joyurewt:. of pleasure in its nuiiiy forms
as we count pleasure and 'rest rest- the
soul and feed it, strengthening the Chris
thin life by prayer a ud move frequent
attendance at God's house.
"Lent is the special season for drawing
near to God. For special, act of charity
ami devotion. For giving up certain
things that might tend to draw the heart
awn y from God. For the deepening of
tiiie religious life. For placing the heart
in a purifying process to cleanse it of
sin. For the uniting us with and draw
ing us nearer to Christ.
But some one Will ask, should we not
always strive to do these things? Why
then have a special season? iSlimply lie-
cause it is a good thing to have a spo
cial time marked out for a special work
Every American citizen nhould lie
loyal to his ' country; But may we not
also have special days for special acts
of loyalty and remembrance, as Inde
pendencei Day, or Thanksgiving Day, or
Washington's birthday, which we are ob
serving to-day? We should always re
member the dear Lord death and res
urrection, with their blessed truths. Still
rho church specially sets apart 'Good
Friday and Easter Day, so in Lent he
bids us to more deeper and more earnest
Christ-likeness, to prayer and self-ex
amination.
"We extend a cordial invitation to all
people to join lis in the observance of
this holy season."

met in the president's office at 8 o'clock,
Hancock in the chair. After the trans
action of some unimportant routine bus
iness, a resolution was introduced by
Dr.' Person, of Wayne, dismissing Han
cock from office.
71.1. - - ' I . .. .. i .
x ms resolution n;iu wen drawn up In a
caucus and agreed to by all the members
of the board before' the meeting. It
cited ths?- anrondiuenit to the charter
giving the power to the board of internal
iprovements to dismiss him from, office.
Hancock opposed the' resolution oh, the
ground. that no such power was conferr
ed by the charter. The hy-law referred
to, he contended, applied only it o subor
dinate officers of the road and not to
the president. That . it only prescribed
that officers" duty that if it were Con
strued its' applying to the president, then
it could also iipply to a director who is
likewise an officer' of the road with this
explanation. Mr. Hancock refused to
put the motion on ther ground that it
was out of order, -ifter some discuskou,
lr. Person put the motion and the reso-
ution was unaninuusly carrircd.
Another resolution was then offered
by Dr. IVkou directing Mr. S. L. Dill,
the present superintendent of the road,
to .pcrfom the duties of president until
a president was elected. Mr. Hancock
igaiu, preiding -officer,- protested against
the passage of this resolution elainiiii
that under the charter no one could per
form the duties of president, except a
regularly elected president and he si di
rector.-
Mr, Hancock further notified the board
that he was at their services as presi
dent of the company, and would be until
the next niinuiil meeting of the directors.
This resolution was passed. Dr. Per
son was elected temporary 'chairman- of
the board,-.. -Mr.-' Hancock still occupying
the chair.
Mr. Dill was then sent for and noti
fied ' of the passage of the resolution,
authorizing him to perform the dutieis
of president. He accepted, stating that
he would do so to Ihe best of his ability.
Mr. Hancock stated to the board that
he was not resigning, surrendering or
turning over under protest, but was
here to act and perform the duties of
president.
The board then adjourned until Tues
day, March 8th, when it will meet in
thei president's office at Newborn,
After the meeting Mr. Hancock was
seen and in reply to my questiou as to
why he was turned out, he gave me the
declared your belief in my . innocence
of the charges as alleged. You stated 'to
the seven Directors on the iart of, the
State,; when they were assembled in your
presence at uie Mansion on the n ght
of February 4th, 1808, that yon did not
believe me guilty, and after polling the
directors, you ascertained that they were
unanimously of the same opinion. Since
that time no additional charges have
been made. There have been no new
developments in the case, except that
your Excellency has perhaps ascertain
ed that I am not as subservient to your
wishes as you would have me to be.
"During the session of the Legislature
held in 1897, having great confidence in
your good judgment, I was of some
assistance to you in endeavoring to pro
cure legislation you desired, and several
times since my appointment as president
of the Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad Company, I have followed your
requests in the administration, of the' af
fairs of the company, when my own
judgment told me that the opposite
course would be in the interest of the
company and the Stat
"This, together with the fact that
I was dependent upon you for my posi
tion, doubtless led you into the error
that no requirement of yours, however
absurd or infamous, would be disobeyed
by a limn bowed down in sorrow, a vic
tim of unrelenting political malignity,
blackmailed by personal foes, you have
been disappointed, eo long as your wish
es could be obeyed without the secrilice
of my personal honor.
'T was your servant, but when vou
delivered your- ultimatum, on the 13th
day of January, that I should make a
violent assault and battery unon the
person of Josephus Daniels, editor of the
News and Observer, and retain my posi
tion, otherwise I should lose it, I felt
that indeed you were trespassing nnou
sacred grounds.
'I was compci'ud to decline to con
tinue in a position purchased at so great
a cost. I endeavored to move you to
a sense of justice b?cause 1 was fully
cognizant of the effect my removal would
have .upon the charges against me, but
I have found that your selfishness lias
destroyed your sense of justice, aud th.it
gratitude is a sentiment unknown to
you.
Subsequently I have received sever,'. 1
messages, from you indirectly urgiirg this
violation or law, .n orji-, aoueyess,
that your private thirst for revenge
might be sati-sfhj nnd e.'ich messane

truths, and they believed them nnd tocether we made winter roods seattpr. We knockixl t,. ton off of nrices in Wio Ik-
ginning nnd put SUITS, SHOES and MEN'S FURNISHINGS down where everybody could re.ich them. They moved
you bet thc-y moved. Our eXDerienee is that the ritrlit ki
are about the only thing that will move them. We have no big piles of winter goods on our tables, but we hove a few
suits of-the different grades left, 'and they must get out of our way. Our spring shipments will soon be arriving aud
uicoc ic Birus unu ouu pants must get amove on tnem.
SIoLUlntoat $1'2-50 were ?2-50 too chenp, now goat $10.00; SUITS. worth $18.00, our former prices, $15.00 now
go for !fl- 00 33 1-3 per cent off on SHOES and we need all the room possible in our shirt department, for spring
good v so those left on hand now must get a move on them also. From one-half to two-thirds of their former value
buys them this week.
As for OVERCOATS what we have left don't cut much figure.but if you hapen to want one to keep out the eigors
