PASSING OF THREE Capt. Ed Dickson, Deveney Parker And O. D. Price Are Extolled. Editor Cleveland Star: This Is meant as a recapitulation of events transpiring here within the last six months. In the first place Cleveland coun ts' has witnessed the passing of three remarkable veterans of the sacred Lost Cause; both as to longe vity and accomplishments. The first to be garnered by the Grim Reaner was the lamented Captain Ed Dick* iuvr who had corded up a record of approximately 97 mile posts. Wheth er as a mi'itarv officer whose calm voice stedied his columns of intre pid followers in the roar and tu mult of gory Gettysburg while his eagle eye directed their movements, or featuring as a successful father, directing church and S. S. activities; or ,acting as solon for his constitu ents at Raleieh; he was ever a se rfene success. Besides being a replica of Sir Gallahad on the bloody field of conflict, he was a soldier of the cross In the army of the Lord. When the final summons came he entered with lofty courage into the ebon ap proaches to the Valley of the Sha dow. Captain Devenev Parker featured • is the bravest of the brave in all ex periences; but was not notable as a financier. But he never faltered in honor npr rectitude, nor was his life spent in whining nor repining. "Where the vanguard rests today ■the rear shall halt tomorrow.” was ever his watchword in the grim realties of human life. Whi'e he left his good right arm at crimson Chic'-amauga. he saw the colors of the Southern Confederacy floatin': g,hoye ramnarts of the enemy as he was. borne from the bloody field; and Jiis grim rule of action as ap plied to human opponent or a less tangible foe. was "You don't falter on your advance upon me or my works by reason of the arm I left at Chlckamauga; but by reason of the strong left duke that is append ed from my left shoulder.” The last passenger of the Grim Ferryman was the late noted Major O. D. Price, the moist versatile man of the three, and gifted in compari son with almost any body of men He heard the roll call on the Shores of Immortality when his fading vi-; sion had witnessed the passing ofj more than 86 vernal seasons. A i successful farmer, a skilled me-! chanic and gifted in eliciting dulcet.j notes-from an inspiring fife even as the Pied Piper of Hamelin; he kept] his face to the land of the morning and steadfastly waited till dreams came true. When the inimitable Bob Taydor of sunny Tennessee revived a van ished custom of the "old time sing ing,” Major Oliver was an adept in the fading festival. They met to sing “treble," "tenor,” “counter" and “bass," and scorned such helps as organs, pianos, violins and cornets. “Tenor” is now' soprano; “treble” is -vrevnt dav tenor: while “counter" answers for baritone, alto and con tralto. “Bass” is still a heavy roll ing male voice, that, properly ren dered, imparts a rolling melody like the lumbering thunder of distant, heavy artillery. When the tidings were circulated that Uilcle Oliver Price was going to conduct an “old time singing," the clans of music lowers made that appointment their mecca. They came sometimes to scoff, but remained to sing. He blended the old customs with the! hew. Mrs. George A. Hoyle was then Miss Lucy Baber, and a cunning fingered daughter of music in evok ing melody fro mthe piano grand The late Bill Martin T. Green and other fiddlers with supple elbows blended the dulcet note of violin: wit hpiano and vocal harmony: and the devotees of music were enrap tured. If a man is a benefactor who causes two blades of grass to grow where one grew before, how much more of a philanthropist is the man who inspires melancholy mortals with tuneful raotures? M. L. WHITE. FOR SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE 16th DISTRICT Hon. A. L. Quickel, of Lincolnton The Democrats of Lincoln- County earn estly urge the Democrats of the Sixteenth Judicial District to join them in nominating the Hon. A. L. Quickel, of Lincolnton, as our candidate for Judge. We have heartily en dorsed him and have no hesitancy in recom mending him to our fellow Democrats. He has been a faithful worker. His experience has eminently qualified him for this high of fice. Of Judicial Temperament Our candidate would bring to the bench a ripe exper ience, drawn from more than thirty-three years of active practice at the bar; an intimate knowledge of the law, acquir ed by study and close application; an honesty that is inher ent in his nature; a courage to assert his convictions; and a disposition, such as is described as a "Judicial Tempera ment.” M.
