TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
DAVIDSON COLLEGE, July Is, 1857.

DAVIDSON COLLEGE, July 16, 1907.
On motion, the Rev. w. w. Shaw, G. L. Hunter,
NJ. D., and Edwin R. Harris ESQ.,, were appointed
a committee to prepare resolutions expressive OF the
views of the Board of Trustees of Davidson College,
in relation to the death of Elisha Mitchell, D. D.,
Professor in the University of North. Carolina.
The committee presented the following, which
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the Board of Trustees of Davidson Col
lege has just heard Of the death of venerable and
learned Professor of the University of North Caro-
lima, the Rev. Elisha Mitchell, D. D., who fell as
martyr to science by mysterious dispensation of
Providence and whereas, his name is intimately
connected with the building up ard dissemination
of sound learning in this State, therefore
Resozred. That We deeply dcplore the great loss
sustained by the State at large, by the Church OF
Christ of which he was an active and useful mem
Der, and by the Institution of which he was dis
tnguished and prominent Professor.
Resozred, That it becomes us, as a body OF Chris
tan men, to bow with reverence and humility to
this dark, melancholy and inscrutable dispensatlon
of Providence thus impressively reminding US that
"in the midst of life we are in DEATH"
Resolced, That cordially extend to the family
and relatives of the deceased sincere coincidence
and heartfelt sympathies in this their sudden and
affective bereavement
Resolced, That copy of the foregoing preamble
and resolutions be forwarded to the family OF the
deceased, to the President of the Chapel Hill Facul-
ty and 10 the Raleigh papers, with the request that
the same may be published.

MEssRs. EDITORS A short time since noticed
article in your paper relative to the loss of an
act of the last General Assembly, entitled ian act
to incorporate the North Carolina and Virginia Rail-
road Company"
No such act appearing among the laws of the last
session when published, l had, on behalf of the
Secretary of State, replied by letters TO Mr. March,
the member from Da re, and Mr.. IIouck, member
from Rowan that no such act had been deposited
in the Secretary's office. The same statement was
made upon my authority in your article on the
subject.
Learning that of the Salisbury papers had
since stated that Mr.. Iouck said that he had him
self taken the bill after its ratification and deposited
it in the Secretarys office, and that the matter
to Mr.. Hill as well as to myself as had had charge
of the Office at the time, and until few days since,
owing to his continued indisposition to trace out
the bill if possible, satisfied w.s that it had
never been deposited in the Secretarys office by Mr.
Houc; any other person.
I am able to inform Mr.. Houck, and all 9TH
ers taking interest in the matter, that search
by the assistant clerk among the papers in the Office
of the clerk of the Senate the bill was found and
that it appears to have been ratified by the Speakers.
Of course the statement that the bill was deposit
ed in the Office of the Secretary of State was in
correct.
1t is not my purpose to censure any one, but
merely to defend myself and the Secretary of State.
Every acquainted with the hurry and confus-
ion of the last moments of session of the General
Assembly, can well account for the failure of the
bill to reach the Secretarys office without imputng
negligence to any of the officers.

OBITUARY NOTICE.

MEssRs HOLDEN & WILSON 1t is my painful
duty to communicate to you the loss of one of our
most estimable citizens Elder George T. Coggin
died at his residence near South Lowell in this
County, about o'clock, the morning of the 10th
instant, in the 18th year of his age.
He had been for many years minister Of the
primitive Baptist Church, to whose interest he de-
voted himself with such zeal, consistency and hon
esty of purpose to command the respect and
admiration of those who differed with him in
matters of faith. He was scrupuousy honest and
upright in all his dealings with his fellow men, and
while we do not claim for him Tor any other human
beng) infallibty feel justified in saying that his
errors, whatever they may have been, were not of
the heart. He had been in failing health for many
months prior to his death, but bore his Affections
with great resignation and an unwavering conf
dence in the God in whom he trusted. His death
was calm and peaceful and apparently painless.
There was not struggle nor even the moving of
muscle to herald the "fel monsters" approach.
He leaves devoted wife and five affectonate chill.
dren to mourn their irreparabe loss. Nolwith-
standing the notice of his funeral was very short,
large number of his friends and neighbors were
present, and followed his mortal remains to their
last sad resting place, and tears were seen on that
occasion in many eye unused to weeping.

GEN. WALKER AGAIN.-The St. Louis Neacs learns
on good authority, that Gen. Walker can secure five
thousand men and quarter of million of dollars,
besides cannon shells, shot ammunition and supplies,
to any needed amount within thirty days notice
The money ($25O,O0O,) is ready and subject to his
draft at any moment. Walker does not desire more
than one thousand men, as he is satisfied that with
that number he can conquer and keep possession of
Nicaragua, in spite of all the Central American
mics that be brought INTO the field against him.
He is operating quietly at present. and keeps his
counsel; but the departure Of another expedition
from New Orleans, sometime the coming, fall, well
appointed and with Walker at its head, is an event
that may be seriously expected
