Do You Know How to Get Rich?

That may sound like an unnecessary
question to ask any sensible man. Want
to get rich? OF course you do. And the
rich want to get richer. And especially
in these times of financial stringency'
all of us want more money. Well, if you
want to get rich it does not depend on
your salary or your income. 1t makes
no difference how much money you
make; it depends entirely on how much
you save! There's the rub-HOW TO
SAVE! We are giving an object lesson
in that particular branch OF economy
Just now. It's the difference in value and
the price-a simple example OF subtrac-
tion-and the difference is in your favor.
It's waste of time to run about town
trying to find better goods and lower
prices than we are offering. So wasting
time you waste money. If you want
Clothing, Hats, Shoes, and Furnishing
Goods, you should not fail to inspect
our stock before making purchases. We

mer goods to make room for fall stock

action with an entire new stock this fall.
Call and inspect the goods and get our

WIND AND RAIN.
Severe Storms Monday do Great
Damage Throughout the South.

/. Damage Throughout the South.
The storm that prevailed throughout
the South Atlantic coast States Monday
doing great damage on land and sea,
did not strike Henderson with The force
and effect it did in other localities. AS
far as we can learn crops hereabouts
have been seriously injured, but no
houses we're blown down or mill dams
washed away. Tobacco suffered con-
siderably, the larger and heavier plants
especially, the leaves being torn and
fibers broken so as to materially lessen
its value when it comes to be sold.
Corn was badly blown down and the
fodder in some places torn into shreds.
Cotton did not not fare as badly. Much
of the fruit, peaches particularly, was
blown off the trees and will prove a
loss for most part.
In other sections of the State the
storm was much severer. At Kerners-
vile nearly 100 houses of various kinds
were blown down or damaged, and one
person, a colored man, was killed.
Many were hurt. At Wilmington the
hurricane was very disastrous to ship
ping interests, while at Charleston,
Savannah and Brunswick, Ga, great
loss of life and property is reported.
The storm originated in the West
Indies, and struck the Florida coast
Sunday, doing great deal of damage
and extending up into Georgia and
South Carolina, where the cotton crop
was seriously injured. A good many
disasters are reported among the ship
ping at Savannah and Brunswick, Ga,
and quite a number Of lives are reported
to have been lost. Charleston had a
rough experience, the loss there being
estimated at over 100000, while
a great deal Of loss was inflicted to
shipping along the North Carolina
coast. AS the storm, which was a
hurricane in Southern ATTITUDES,
travelled northward its fury lessened
and though it may have been considered
severe in some portions of Virginia
and Maryland it was nothing in com
parison to what it was in Florida
Georgia and the Carolinas.

The Lecture Monday Night.

The lecture of our young townsman
Mr.. Samuel D. Young, at Burwell
Hall Monday night, was greatly en-
joyed by those who heard it. His
subject, Chicago and the Worlds
FAIR was treated in an intelligent
and entertaining manner, and even
the most intimate friends of the young
gentleman were agreeably surprised
at the very creditable style in which
he acquitted himself. Owing to the
inclemency of the weather the audience
was small, but few more than half a
hundred persons being present, a fact
which was to be regretted both on &C
count of the speaker and those who
missed so rare treat. For the first
ten or fifteen minutes Mr.. Young paid
his respects to the committee under
whose auspices the lecture was given,
and it is admitted that he more than
"got even" with them. It should be
understood that some of his friends by
way of a joke proposed to pay him
$500 and assume all expenses if he
would deliver a public lecture on the
Worlds Fair, thinking of course to
bluff him. But he took them up and
forced them to stand to their PROPOSE
ton. The audience Of course being
familiar with the facts could appreciate
the cutting sarcasm, sallies of wit and
spirit of humor INDUCED by the speaker,
and laughed and applauded uproarously.
1t was acknowledged by all that he
did the committee up in great shape and
got decidedly the best of, the bargain.
The speaker not only showed himself
to be lecturer Of no mean ability
although this was his first attempt)
md pleased his friends and edited his
auditors, but won applause and praise
and came out $500 ahead. He spoke
with ease and naturalness, his gestures
were graceful and we'll timed, his des-
criptions graphic, and his language
choice and appropriate, even eloquent
at times. The lecture had to be heard
to be appreciated. No account that
might be written could do the speaker
justice. And our regret is that a
laraer number of our citizens did moi
hear it.

Oxford Again Suffers.

The Centre Warehouse in Oxford
was blown down by the wind about
half past five O'Clock Monday evening.
There was nothing Of what might be
termed cyclone, but the wind was
severe for awhile and the building,
which was constructed of brick, is a
complete wreck. Only one man, a
colored employee, was ON the main
floor at the time and he sustained only
few bruises. Some boys who were
playing marbles in the basement es-
capped unhurt, almost miraculously.
The proprietors, Messrs. w. K. Thomas,
r. G. Jones and J. p. Thomas, had
just left the building only a short time
before it was blown down.

Death Of Mr.. j. G. Cooper, Of OK
ford.
Mr.. J. C. Cooper, one of the oldest,
best known and most successful citi-
zens of Oxford, died at his home in
that place at 8 o'clock last Friday
night. He had been in declining
health several months and recently
it had become known that he could not
survive a great while. Mr.. Cooper
was one of the most useful and highly
esteemed citizens of his town and the
influence of his pure and godly life will
| long be felt in the community. He
spent the most of his life in the mercan-
tile business and was for many years
a member of the firm of J. G. & D. Y.
Cooper, tobacco warehousemen, of this
place. But for the past six years has
been at the head of the banking house
of J. c.. Cooper & Sons, at Oxford.
He was largely interested in our town
owning considerable real estate here
and was almost regarded one of us.
Up to the past two years since which
time his feeble health has kept him
away, Mr.. Cooper visited Henderson
frequently and was well known and
warmly esteemed by all our people.
Mr.. Cooper was a man of kindly
disposition and especially fond Of the
society of young people with whom be
was always great favorite. Courte-
Gus and polite alike to strangers and
acquaintance no one came in contact
with him but to like him. A man OIL
exemplary Christian character, scrupu-
lous integrity and honesty of purpose,
his life was singularly pure and gentle
honorable and upright. At the age
of u years after well spent life he
passed away full of honor and useful
ness. He leaves a wife and seven
children, all married except The young
est daughter and one son. His wife
was Miss Lucy Williams, daughter o
the late H. G. Williams, ESQ.,, o
Nash county, and sister of Col. Henr.
G. Williams, Capt. John A. Williams
and Hon. A H. A. Williams. Deceased
was an uncle of our townsmen Messrs
J. c., D. Y. and John D. Cooper.

DEATH OF Mr.. w. w, HALL.
The Senior Editor Of the Roanoke
% News Passes Away at His
==t7sa Home in Weldon.

-sY NEWS Passes Away at His
Home in Weldon,
We mourn the death of a sincere
friend. Mr.. William w. Hall, senior
editor of tie Roanoke News, died at
his home in Weldon last Saturday
morning, after an illness of about two
weeks. He had malarials fever and
was thought to be rapidly conyalescing
when he was sliced with a congestive
chill from which he died. His death
was unexpected and caused shock to
his friends at home and elsewhere when
the sad intelligence that he had breathed
his last was made known. In the death
OF Will. Hall the writer has lost a
warm and valued friend. We had
known him we'll for many years and
time only served to strengthen the
attachment and heighten the estimate
we placed upon the man. His was a
pure and unselish friendship, genial
and affab!e nature, a lofty and well
rounded character-a perfect aud noble
manhood. While friendly with all,
perhaps it was only his more intimate
associates who appreciated him at his
true worth, and knowing him we'll
his delicacy and sincerity, and truth
and tenderness-they loved him with
all their hearts. A fine type of gen.
tleman, open hearted, high-minded,
generous and true, and we mourn him
with unaffected sorrow. The parting
OF the ways" has come all too soon,
yet there is comfort in the thought that
one has possessed such friend and
companion as Billy Hall, even for his
brief space of life. So
His life was gentle, and the elements
So mixd in him that Nature might stand
And say to all the world, This was
man -"
While Mr.. Hall early fitted himself
for the profession of the law, his tastes
and inclinations did not seem to lie in
that direction and several years ago
associating himself with Mr.. John w.
Sledge, they purchased and have jointly
published the Roanoke NeUs ever since.
Thus the latter years of his life have
been spent at the editors desk, and
in this field he had won honor and
respect. His writings were distin-
guished by a clear, simple, vigorous
style, sound judgment, good taste and
critical acumen. His attitude was al
ways dignified and courteous and he
had the confidence and esteem of his
brethren Of the press in high degree.
AS man he was honorable and true
and upright; as an editor, fearless and
incorruptible; as a friend, loyal and
devoted.
Deceased would have been 40 years
old in January. The remains were
taken to Scotland Neck, the home Of
his ancestors, and inferred Sunday, Rev.
Walter Smith, rector of the Episcopal
church, conducting the rervices in the
presence of large ,concourse of sorrow
| ing friends and relatives. A special
train was chartered by friends in
Weldon, there being no train on the
Scotland Neck road Sundays, and about
800 accompanied the remains to their
final resting place.

Killed by the Cars.

J. P. Rocker, former resident of Hen
derson, was run over and killed by the
Oxford & GAINESVILLE train near Durham
about 100 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
The accident occurred at the "Y" be-
tween the town proper and East Dur
ham, the train backing out to turn
around. The San says:
James Rhew and J. P. Rocker had
started home and were walking between
the tracks. They heard the train coming
and thinking the train was on the 0. 4
C. track, one remarked to the other that
they would get out OF the way. Both
started to step upon the N. c. railroad
track. Rocker, as we learn, without
looking back, stepped over the rails and
as he did SO the train was on him. He
was struck in the back by the rear end
of the car, his hat was knocked into the
car door. His boody fell about midway
between the rails and the entire train
passed over him. When the train stopped
he was dead and his body horribly man
gled. The top of his head was crushed
in, there were two holes, one on each
temple, that penetrated the brain; his
breast was crushed almost to a pulp; his
left arm was cut off at the wrist and the
hand split in two.
James Rhew's escape was almost mi
raculous. He had one foot between the
ties and in another instant would have
shared the fate OF poor Percy Rocker
but he jumped back so frightened that
he had to sit down and get his breath.
Mr.. Rocker was employed by S. W.
Holman & Co. in plumbing, and was
considered good, steady hand. He was
formerly a railroad engineer and came
here some time ago from Henderson. He
was a Canadian. He leaves a wife and
five children. His remains were carried
to Henderson Sunday morning for inter-
ment.
