The Democrat. (Scotland Neck, Halifax Co., N.C.) 1884-1896, 1885-10-01

Senator Henderson, Of Nebraska
has been in Utah considering the
Mormon problem. He thinks that
the Edmunds law will not be etfec-
tive enough to destroy the practice
Of polygamy and he is i'll favor OF
further legislation. Let us try the
law first. This Mormon question
is great one and no rash step
should be taken but very firm ones
should be taken. Polygamy is a
curse to any nation and here in The
United States it has been allowed
for many years. 1t is time to stoI
and we hope if the Edmunds law
s.not enough that others will be
enacted at an early date.

SAD ACCIDENT.
Death Of a Prominent Young Man.

Last Saturday afternoon, when
the freiget train reached Clayton
from Raleigh, deputy sheriff, Willie
A. Bordeaux, Of Pender county,
was returning home: He had been
to Raleigh for the purpose Of con
veying some prisoners to the peni-
tertiary. The train stopped sever
al moments, and Mr.. Bordeaux got
Off to converse with some friends.
and while the conversation was co.
ing on the train started off. Mr..
Bordeaux ran to get Oh the train
and was thrown down along side
the passenger coach, breaking his
left arm, and receiving other inju-
ries about his body, and, it is
thought, he was injured internally.
Drs. w. j. Jones and j. A. Griffin.
were called to the injured man,
who through the kindness Of Mr.. V.
3. Tomlinson was conveyed to his
residence, where he received every
attention, and was made as com
Portable as his injuries would al
low. He suffered antil Monday
morning about % O'Clock, when
death came to his relief. His suf-
fering was intense, yet he said he
was willing for the Lords will to be
done. Mr.. Bordeaux was promi-
nent young man, and was held in
high esteem by his many friends.
He was member of the Baptist
church.
The father of this young man
was telegraphed to informing him
OF the sad calamity, but he arrived
too late to hear the awful meanings
OF his wounded son. Before he ar
rived the body was placed in a
beautiful case, furnished by Messrs.
Penny & Page, and lay in wait in
the parlor OF Mr.. V. B. Tomlinson.
surrounded by friends. The gentle
hands of lovely woman had decora-
ted the coffin with beautiful flowers
ere the distressed father reached the
room. At last he came, and in a
short time the. lifeless body of an
obedient son was conveyed to the
depot and transported to that home
which he had but few days before
left cheerful farewell. The father
mother, brothers and sisters have
our deepest and sincere sympathy
in this sudden and sad bereavement.
His departure was not death, but
an entrance upon eternal Iife.-Clay-
ton Bud.

Mrs. j. Carney, of Carson City, New,
sends Sergeant Barwick the rainfall from
1919 to 1868 taken by her father, DR.. ]. a.
Edwards The rainfall from October, 1919
to September, 1850, was from observations
taken at Mormon Island, Sacramento
county, and from October, 1850, to March,
1865, were from the doctors observations,
two miles east of Shingle Springs, Ell Dorado
county There is much value attached to
those observations taken at Norman Island,
Sacramento county, III $780, for there has
been considerable said about Dr. Logan's
table of totals for the season of 1S49-50 as
being but 4. II inches, while San Francisco
was 740. DIR. Logan gives in his table
as no rainfall occurring in September while
the table of Dr. Edwards gives % inches
at Mormon Island, and the number of DAYS
rain fell as five. DR.. Logan plainly says
that his observations did not begin be-
fore 1858, those before that time were
from the most reliable sources
obtainable. 1t certainly must be a con-
coded fact now that Dr. Logan's informa-
ton for 1850 must have been unreliable.
Certainly, if it rained five days at Mormon
Island, and precipated 1.2S inches, there
must have been some rain at Sacramento.
4 comparison of the rainfall from January.
1850 to September, same year with DR..
Logan table shows considerable discrep-
ancy and this table of actual observation
of DR.. Edwards will go far to eliminate en-
rors that have crept in through unavoid-
able causes. The following are the COM
PARSONS spoken of above:
