Died, yesterday Oath March,) after brief ILL
ness, JOHN o'RORKE, Esq, in the 10th year of
his age.
The deceased was borni in the parish OF Swords,
Dublin County, Ireland in 17SS, and removed to
this country in 1918. He first resided in the City
of Newark, N. j., but came to this place in 1920,
and in 1921. married that excellent woman, Eliza
beth R. Guthrie, sister of DIR. J. w. Guthrie-all
well known in Raleigh.
Of Mr.. j. O'Rorke it is not necessary to speak,
so far as the immediate community is concerned.
During a long life, he exhibited those sterling
qualities industry, integrity, and sobriety-in
such remarkable to win for himself
high repute with all classes in our midst. He
was cmpha ically an honest man-one who lived
and died without reproach. In his family, he
was attentive and affGctionate, and at his house,
for all who entered his doors, there was unaf-
fected, unostentatious hospitality, which was a
distinguishing feature i'll olden society, and which
invested social life with more than halfts charms.
But whether the contact was with his acquain-
tancss or strangers, Mr.. O'Rorke always display
ed rigid regard for right and justice In business
transactions he exact and prompt, and there
will be universal agreement that he just to q
marvel.
He was member of the Catholic Communion,
and died in that faith. The example he has left
us of piety without moroseness; inlexible hon
esty without parsimony; industry without slaV-
ishness hospitality without waste; gsntleness
without loss of irmness; and unvarying sympa-
thy for and kindness towards the unfortunate, is
a rich legacy which should not be lost upon those
who are blessed with life.
The funeral will take place at the Catholic
Church, to-day at 10 O clock, A. NJ, the Rev. DR..
Cochoran, of Wilmington, officiating.
The friends and acquaintance of the deceased,
and the family, are respectfully invited to attend
without further notice.
Died, in Forsythe CO., N. c., Dec. 81, 1866, OF
Consumption, Mr.. LEVI E. PITTS, aged 90 years,
4 months and % days. He made profession OF
religion q few months before he died He was a
kind meek and affectionate son. He leaves q
father, mother, brothers, sisters, relatives and
friends to mourn his death. But they mourn not
as those that have no hope, for they have the
consolation to know that their loss is his ever
lasting gain. A few moments before his spirit
took its flight smile lighted up his countenance
which plainly indicated to all around that he was
realizing the force of these beautiful words:
elbow sweet, my God, to know Thy power
Supports me i'll this trying hour"
Thus departed without struggle, and as hi
closed his eyes on all that and dear tc
him earth, his spirit took its flight to man
sions prepared above.
"'Tis sad to hear that thou art gone,
And left dear ones behind to mourn;
/ O! thou hast joined the angel train,
To sing with them their heavenly strain.
Dear one, thou art gone"

REASON WHY THE
AMERICAN WATCH

Made at TH1LIX1lL, 1L4S.GA CHUSETTS,
is THE BEST.
1t is made on the best principle. Its frame is
composed of SOLID PLATES. Nor jar can in
terfere with the harmony of its working and no
sudden shock can damage its machinery. Every
piece is made and finished by machinery Gtself
famous for its novelty, well as for its effective
messy and is therefore properly made. The watch
is what all mechanism should INACCURATE,
SIMPLE, STRONG AND ECONOMICAL. Ex-
cept some high grades, too costly for general use,
foreign watches are chiefly made by women and
boys. Such watches composed of several
hundred pieces, screwed and riveted together,
and require constant repairs to keep them in any
kind of order. All persons who have carried
"ancres" 'lcpines'' and English Patent Le-
vers,' are perfectly well aware OF the truth of
this statement.
At the beginning of our enterprise more than
ten years ago, it was our first object to make a
thoroughly gooa low priced watch for the mill
ion to take the place these foreign imposi-
tions; the refuse of foreign factories which were
entirely unsaleable at home and perfectly worth
less elsewhere.
How well we have accomplished this, may be
understood from the fact that so many years of
public trial, we now make MORE THAN HALF
OF ALL THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE
UNITED STATES, and that no Others have ever
given such universal satisfaction. While this de-
partment of our business is continued with in
creased facilities for perfect work, at pre-
sent engaged in the manufacture of watches of
the very HIGHEST GRADE KNOWN TO
CHRONOMETRY, unequaled by anything hither-
to made by ourselves, and unsurpassed by any
thing made in the world. For this purpose we
have the amplest facilities. We have erected an
addition to our main building expressly for this
branch of our business and have filled it with the
best workmcn in service. New machines
and appliances have been constructed which per-
form their work with consummate delicacy and
eXactness. The choicest and most approved ma
terials only are used, and we challenge compari-
son between this grade of our work and the finest
imported thermometers. We do not pretend to
sell our watches for LESS MONEY than foreign
watches, but we do assert without fear of contra
diceion that for the SAME MONEY our product is
incomparably superior. All our watches, of what
ever grade, fully warranted, and this Warrant
tee is good at all times against US or our agents
in all parts of the world.
CAUTION.-The public are cautioned to buy
only of responsible dealers: All persons selling
counterfeits will be prosecuted.

The New orlz Commercial saws there will

The New York Commercial says there will soon
be fiercely opposing partie. at the South
A large number of persons will adhere to the
ole traditions that gave vitality to secession, but
a powerful party will gradually arise and try to
attain power by af1iliating with the dominant
party in the North.
Those Southern leaders who now come promptly
forward and urge their people to acquiesce cheer
fully in the plan of reconstruction laid down BY
the law making power, will undoubtedly be re-
mem ered by that power. We venture to predict
that Congress so soon the Southern States
have been reconstructed, will hasten to remove
all those leaders from under the ban who may
have given their personal influence and exertion
toward e1pediting matters. They may now incur
disfavor in their section, but they are certain to
be rewarded.

Mr. Peabody to the Public.
RoSTON March r 1897

Editor Of Boston Post Mr.. George Peabody,
intending soon to leave for England, deems it Il
duty due to himself to inform all those who, dur
ing his visit of ten months in his native country,
have written to him asking loans of money, do
nations to literary institutions, subscriptions to
churches, public charities, SC. or assistance for
these communications has renderedit impossible
for him to read or answer, or even to open them
in person. The latter duty has, therefore, been
assigned, contidentiaNy to Others. And as many
of the writers have requested that their applica-
tons should be kept secret, Mr. Peabody would
state that he has this day caused these letters,
amounting to nearly four thousand, to be burnt
in his presence, thus relieving their apprehen-
sions and his own responsibility.

hear these Editors talk, the federal govern

Hon. JOHN PooL.-We understand that
in the argument of the great Johnson will
case, in Chowan, week or two since, this
distinguished Carolinian added largely to
his reputation for legal acumen. His effort
in behalf of the DEFENDANTS is for the
validity of the willis said to have fully
sustained the suggestion of the late Hon
Geo. E. Badger, that Mr. P. possessed the
finest legal mind of any young man in the
State.
We mention this gentleman's relation to
the case, because either partizan malice or
accident has caused those who have referred
to this adjudication to omit all reference to
Mr.. Pool. It is one of our aims to see that
justice is done all men, without reference to
political or other creeds, and we feel espec-
ial interest in seeing that the reputation of
all our public men, in whatever field disrln-
guished, is not impaired.-Progrcss.
