JACKsON's DAUGHTER DEAD
Breaking of the Link Between the
Living and the Immortal Hero.

Probably no event of the kind, sad
enough under any circumstances, could
excite the profound interest and sympa-
thy as that which attaches to the death
of the daughter Of the beloved and brill
liant Confederate leader, Thomas J. Jack
son. Time has Onl !. increased the admira
ton which his military exploits awak-
ened; time has served to strengthen and
broaden the fame which has gone abroad
over all the world; time has only added
to the reverence and affection with which
his memory is cherished. This, his only
child, has been the living link which con-
ncctcd the living survivors with the dead
chicftain. While she lived he seemed to
live in her. The loyal affection that had
gone out to him clung to the daughter as
part of him. Stonewall's child was the
child of the soldier, the child of the South,
and was not wanting i'll some of the love
of the North North Carolina was CRATE
lul that on her soil she had made her
home. She was half North Carolinian
anyway; when she came to pass her
welded life among us she became alto
gcthcr one. 1t is the sad ending of a
young and happy life; but it is the break
ing of the last living link that bound us
to the immortal Stoncwall Jackson.

Sever Their Connection with the
Greensboro North state.
The last number of the above journal
contains the valcdictory of its editors,
Messrs. Boyd and Keogh, and the an
nouncement that the paper passes into
the hands of il publishing company to be
continued i'll the service of the Republi-
can party. Whilst disagreeing with our
retiring friends in toto on political mat
ters, we pay willing tribute to the ability
with which they have conducted their
paper, and bear testimony to their uni
form courtesy and general fairness. Po-
litical controversy is deprived of all its
bitterness and most of its unpleasant
ness when conducted with reference of
the inherent right of all men to the en-
joyment and expressions of their opin-
ions. We think they are in error in their
political views. So in turn do they think
we are. None the less was their mutual
courtesy and undisturbed pleasant per-
Sonal relations. The party they served
so we'll and which in turn, served them
so cavalierly, will lose a right arm in
North Carolina i'll losing Messrs. Boyd
and Keogh. They were by all odds its
strongest rallying point and it's most ef-
fcctivc organ. As party man, we do
not regret the change. As journalist,
we do experience loss which we accept

THE BALI.Ew CASE.
The preliminary Investigation
Held Yesterday.

Before Justice Summcy at the court
house yesterday the preliminary invcsti-
cation Of the charge of child murder
against David and Mary Ballew, formerly
of this county, was held. Solicitor Car
ter of the criminal court conducted the
prosecution and Major w. II. Malone
represented the defendants. Nineteen
witnesses for the State were examined,
while three Others told what they knew
that would tend towards clearing the de-
fcndants of the serious charge upon which
they were summoned to appear before
the bar of Justice. The examination was
continued far into the night, and the tcs-
timOnv adduced was such that the sit
ting magistrate could not do otherwise
than remand the defendants to jail for
trial before the criminal court of this
county at its October term. Readers OF

PROFESSOR WILLIAM CAIN.
An ASheViIIe Roy Elected TO the
Chair of Mathematics.

We learn from the News and Observer
of yesterday, and learn it with my sin
Ccre pleasure, that the board of trustees
Of the University, which met in the eX-
cutive office the preceding day to fill the
vacancy in the chair of mathematics oc-
casioncd by the death of Pofcssor Ralph
Graves, had elected Professor William
Cain, {. L. There were twcnty-siX APP
pliCants, all of them of the highest quail
cation. Professor Cain is well reInem-
bcrcd here by many of the older inhabi-
tants. lie was a grandson of the late
Judge Bailey, long a resident of Ashe-
vile. Young Cain lived here much of his
boyhood, and in subsequent years spent
much time in the mountains i'll survey
ing and engineering, during which time
he gave valuable aid to Professor W. {.
Kerr in preparing his excellent map OF
North Carolina. He was born in Hills
boro in this State, in 1917. We take
the following from the News and OBJ
server:
"Hc is characteristic and true North
Carolinian in every sense. During the
war he served awhile i'll the Confederate
army. He aftcrward studied law under
Judge Bailey, but concluded to devote
himself 20 mathematics and engineering,
particularly, practical engineering, rail
road location and construction.
For seven years he was professor OF
mathematics and engineering i'll the
Carolina Military Institute at Charlotte,
which was conducted on the West Point
basis as far as civil studies were con-
ccrncd. He was for two years locating
and building railroads and was engaged
in collecting data for the map for the
geological survey of North Carolina.
Since October 1882 he has been pro
lessor of mathematics in the S. [. Mill
tary Institute, branch of the State
University. He has written six books
on various branches of bridge building
and engineering i'll Van Nostrand's series
which have given him great eminence as
Il mathematician. He is member OF
the American Society of Civil Engineers
and has been a teacher of pure mathe-
MATES engineering for over twelve
years. He is said to he a constant and
diligcnt student and at the same time
one of the best of practical civilcnglneers.

he was the best locating engineer he ever

Electric Motors.

Yesterday was returning from the
courthouse square to my home on Chest
nut street when the street railway car
passed down toward Doubleday. | had
advanced but a few steps when boy on
Il tricycle. passed me on the sidewalk
"Thcrc," | said, to myself, goes the
street car propelled by one OF the hidden
forces of nature, and even the boy on the
tricycle. knows it, but he does not know
that the same hidden mystery is also
propelling his machine. He thinks his
legs and feet are propelling it" Well is
he right? Let us examine to see. The
wheels of his little machine turn
and that is an effect of cause. Then
we find that the boys feet and legs
act as the nearest cause to the effect.
But as cause is always an effect
of higher cause, we have to
enquire what it is that makes
the boys feet and legs move the wheels
of his tricycle.? Is it the boys will? If
so, on what does his will act? And
what is the cause of the action of the
will Suppose the boys legs should be-
come paralyzed, would not his machine
stop? Could his will then act on his
legs? No; the will cannot move a par
alyzcd limb. When the ovcrhanging
wire of the electric railway is broken,
the machine under the car becomes par
alyzed, and the car stops, for the electric
current-the propelling force-cannot
reach it. So it would be with the boy
legs; let the conducting wires-the nerves
be broken, the electric current cannot
pass from the human, electric dynamo to
the limbs of the body.
Without electricity there could not be
life either animal or vegetable; and so,
without it, this earth would become a
dead planet. T. {. WESTALL.
