In MemOriam.

In Raleigh, the Goth day Of January
1885, of paralysis, John l.. Terrell, Esq,
in the 18th year of his age. He was born
the 18th March, 1907. Mr.. Terrell was
married in 1881 to Miss Sarah Williams,
of Franklin county. From this union
there were nine children, eight of whom
survive. His beloved wife departed this
life July 10th, 1878, in full hope of
blessed Immortality. He became a mem
Der of the Missionary Baptist church at
Wake CROSSROADS Sunday the 22d Sep
joined the Baptist church at Rolesville.
He was for many years deacon in this
church, and its clerk,
The deceased was stricken with para
lysis the 22d September, 1870. He was
thus disabled physically for more than
fifteen years, but his mind was preserved,
though his power of speech was greatly
impaired. For more than fifty years he
had confessed Christ before men, and
during this long period his Christian walk
had been marked by a godly and pious
conversation. He was a good citizen,
useful to his neighborhood and to his
county, and he was all the more SO from
the fact that he was, practically, a Chris
tlan man. In his early manhood, and in
the fulness of health he had given him
his purpose of consecretion to his Savior.
but on the contrary that purpose grew
and was strengthened to his last moment
For more than fifteen years he was con-
fined to his house, and was unable to go
out to mingle in the affairs of men. 1t
was then, in these hours of seclusion, that
his soul gathered consolation and power
in Christ, and patience in him thus did
her perfect work He was always rejoiced
to see the ministers of God and his Chris
| tlan brethren, to hear the word read and
expounded, and to join them in prayer
| He could utter but a few words, but his
countenance spoke for him, shining as it
| did with. the love of God. He appeared
at such times to be in the very vestibule
of Heaven, and indeed he was, for death
to him was but an upward step into that
blessed world.
| He declined quietly in strength, and
at last, without pain, ''fell on Sleep in
Jesus A large circle of his relatives and
friends will cherish a tender recollection
of his virtues and will love his memory.
How blest the righteous when he dies,
| When sinks weary soul to rest,
How mildly beam the closing eyes,
| How gently heaves tn expiring breast!'

the South and the North were at war, will
never find warm friends among US
Moreover we cannot afford TO divide rs
long as the negro vote can be counted on
to 90 solidly for one party. Until the ne
gro sOlidity is broken there is no possibl
ity for respectable Republican party's
being formed. Virginans differ for in
stance on the tariff and other economical
questions. But we would have to forget
such differences when We we went to the
polls. Otherwise Malone with his force
would seize the State In like manner we
are oppressed with the debt question, but,
though there is considerable number of
voters who want to see the debt paid, TO
open that question would be again to put
Mahone i'll power, and thus to lose to the
creditors what little the Riddlcberger bill
secures them. How this State of affairs
undermincS the system of Government by
parties any one can see We have to vote
for men whose principles on economical
questions are sometimes totally at varl-
ance with our own. We send men to Wash
ington who do not represent the best sen
timent of our people But we cannot pun
ish the party at the polls for putting up
unacceptable men, lest a worse evil be
fall us.
But there are some encouraging signs
that the negro vote can be divided The
local option 0iquor law agitation is show
ing the possibility Of it. The South would
be free to give its attention to live issues,
but when that day comes the South will
cease to be solid But 50 long us the par
ties III the North remain as they are and
so long as one party can find the bloody
shirt a rallying cry, 50 long will the South
be as solid as rock.
There are few things that it would be
well for those who are disturbed by the.
solidity of the South and are interested in
breaking it to bear in mind, First, there
will be thousands of SOutherners who will
vote for the next President who were not
even born when Lee surrendered. Sec
ondly, unless one part of the glo-Saxon

A bill has been introduced in Congress
granting artificial limbs to exConfederate
soldiers wounded in the war. Congress
man Woolford, who introduced the bill,
was general in the Union army. 1t will
not pass, of course, but the fact that it
was introduced by Northern general
shows state of affairs that does not
match well with the waving of the bloody
