HON. w. N. H. SMITH.


A correspondent Of the Petersburg Ex
press gives briet biographical sketch of
the life of the Hon. w. N. II. Smith. our
distinguished representative elect from the
First District. According to the writer.
Mr.. Smith is the son Of DIR. James Smith,
skillful practitioner Of medicine who emf
grated 10 this State from Connecticut in the
early part OF the present century, aud mar
ried Miss Mary Harell. one OF the mast in
teliigent and accomplished young ladies Of
her day. DR.. S. died young, leaving an on
" son, William Nathan Harell Smith, mem-
Der elect Of the House Of Representatives Of
the Congress Of the United States for the
First Congressional District Of North Caro-
lima. Deprived in tender infancy Of the gni-
dance of fathers hand, Mr.. Smith was for
tunate in being blessed with a mother Of
more than ordinary intellect, great fondness
for reading, uncommon mental aptitude and
great depth Of affection. 70 his mother. we
venture to affirm, does Mr.. Smith owe what.
ever intellectual sigor he possesses, or oil
future eminence he may attain to. He was
prepared for College in the Academy Of his
native village. graduated at Yale College
with high distinction, bearing the honored
badge OF the Phi. Beta Kappa. While al
New Haven, Mr.. Smith made profession
Of religion, and connected himself with the
Congregational Church. He earnestly con
templated the work of the Christian ministry
and on his return from College took an &C
tive interest in Sunday Schools and othel
benevolent enterprises in the vicinity. b,
the persuasion Of his uncle, Rev. Or. Muir
dock, however, he abandoned the idea o
studying theology, and commenced the stud,
OF law. 10 this profession he has devoted hi
energies with brilliant success. For severa
sessions Of our legislature he has set as
member Of the House of Commons. or a
Senator for this county. Two years ago b,
accepted the nomination of the American
Wing party, for Congress, and was defeated
by small majority. He now enters upo,
the national arena backed by most flatter
ing vote. Although his Democratic fellow
citizens may be chagrined by the success o
the parties that have elected Mr.. Smith. We
many of them would much prefer that b,
should be elevated to the post OF honor, If i
must be yielded to an 0ppositionist.
La the person of MIR. Smith, Hertfort
county presents the 4th representative frau
her borders to the frat Congressional Dis
\ trict of North Carolina. Our first member
General Thomas Wynns, represented IN,
District from 1902 to 1908 William Har
dy Murlree next, frnm 1873 to 1917, an,
Kenneth Rayner from 1889 to 1915. Mr.
Smith il now in the vigor Of manhood. Ma,
his course be smooth over the stormy SCI
upon which he has entered.

DWELLING.


The wickedness of this practice. and the
duty Of Presbyterian ministers and members
with reference TO it, are clearly and solemn.
ly set forth in the following deiiverance Of
our General Assembly. This action was ia
ken in the year A. d. 1905, aud we presume
the immediate occasion OF it was the horrible
combat between Hamilton aud Burr, which
resulted in the murder Of the former aud the
everlasting infamy Of Aaron Burr:
1.-The General Assembly having taken in
to serious consideration the unhappy preva.
lence Of the practice Of duelling in the Uni.
ted States, and being anxionsly DESTROYS to
contribute what may be in their power con-
sistently with their Character and situation,
TO tiscountenance and abolish this practice
Resoiutd, unanimously, That they do in
the most unequivocal manner, declare their
utter adherence Of the practice Of duellins
and OF all measures tending thereto, as orr
ginating from the maleyolent dispositions
Of the human heart. and false sense Of hon.
or; as a remnant Of Gothic barbarism; as in.
plying a presumptuous and highly criminal
appeal to Gud as the Sovereign Judge; as
utterly inconsistent with every just principle
Of moral conduct; as direct violation OF the
sixth COMMANDMENT, and destructive OF thr
peace and happiness Of families and the As.
sembly 10 hereby recommend II TO the minis
tiers in their connection to discountenance BY
all proper means in their power this scanda'
lous practice.
Resolred, also, That il be, and it is here
by recommended to all The ministers undel

SnPExcE A Day.--A London paper fur
nishes Us with the following interesting an
ecdote which we wish our young FRIENDS
would read. and think about. What is said
about q sixpence spent daily for one thing
hat is useless or hurtful. (strOng drink. for
example. may be said Of the same sum spent
for other hurtfal or pernieioas things, Ito
baceo for example.)
There j. an old man insthe aims house in
Bristol. who states that for sixty years be
spent sixpenee day in drink, but was never
intoxicated.
A gentleman who heard the statement. was
some hat curious TO ascertain how much this
sixpence a day, put BY every year. at Eve
per cent. compound interest, would amount
10 IN sixty years.
Taking out bis pencil he began 10 caleu.
late. Pntiing down the first years savings.
three hundred aud sixty-6ye siHpences. nine
pounds sterling. eleven shillings aud SIX
/ pence, he added the interest, and thus went
on from year 10 year. until be found 10 The
siItieth year the sixpenee day reached the
startling sum Of three thousand two hundred
and twenty-five pounds sterling. nineteen
shillings and sixpence. More than fifteen
+ thousand dollars!
i Judge the old mans surprise. when told
that had he saved his sispenee day, and
allowed IL to accumulate at compound inter.
est, he might now have been worth the above
sum; so that, instead Of taking refuge in the
