In MemOriam.

Just before the god Of day mounted
his golden chariot, on the morning of
February 22nd, the pale horse rider de-
scended like a thunder bolt int o he home
OF Mr.. l.. q. Twsdale, of Middhburg, and
after brief struggle he released the
spirit OF little Virgil Twisdale from it's
tenement of clay, and it was borne upon
the wings OF angels to the home of the
children of God. The question arises
in our minds, "Why does God see fit in
His infinite goodness to take from the
home the most beautiful blossom, the
one we love and cherish the most, the
pet; the idol?" The answer is Scriptu-
raj, 1.-The Lord loveth whom He chas-
teneth, and the greatest honor We can
confer on our Maker is entire submission
to His Divine will
Little Virgil was about ) or years
OF age, child of sweet disposition and
beautiful person. She was a general
favorite; her sweet, prattling tongue won
friends for her wherever she went, and
she never forgot any one She was
truly Il little angel, and we can say in
truth that her stay on earth was suffi-
GENTLY long for her to become endeared
to us all, and her departure fills us with
greater aspirations for the Heavenly
kingdom. While we mourn over this
earthly parting We are aware of the fact
that,
This lovely bud so young and fair,
Called hence by early doom,
just came to show how sweet flower
In Heaven above shall bloom.
We extend our heartfelt sympathy to
the parents of little Virgil. whom we can
see try to be resigned to the will of their
Master.
There was an unusually large atten-
dance at the funeral W hich was conducted
by Rev. Mr.. Hornaday. of Ridgewuy
The pall-bearers were Messrs. ID. Boyd
kimball, Thomas Croker, William +.
Rowland and Thomas II. Carroll.
Little Virgil died of catarrhal pneu.
mOnia. She was sick only two weeks
before death released her from her suffer-
ings. Farewell, sweet child
From earth you are taken,
To mansions of splendor and beauty
above;
Where Heavens sweet strains by saints
are awakened,
Topralse the Lord for Ills infinite love
\ FRIEND.

Made a Sin.

In speaking of court last week we
stated that Mr.. A. &. Zollicof1er was
representing the State in the absence
of the Solicitor. We got this impress
sion from a remark made by that gen.
tleman in a case he was arguing be-
fore the jury and so made no inquiry.
The fact is Solicitor Bernard left Capt.
W. B. Shaw in charge of his docket,
but in the particular case we speak of
the Captain having been employed by
the defendant, Mr.. Zollicoffer acted as
States attorney.
AS we do not desire to do any one
the injustice of Withholding the credit
due him. and as we know Mr.. Zolli-
Golfer does not wish to be given credit
for more than he is entitled to,
we refer to the matter here. Both are
learned lawyers and able advocates, as
strong in their presentation of a case
before the jury as they are quick to
grasp point of law, and in the hands
of either the cause Of the State or the
interests of client are we'll and con-
scientiously cared for. So it goes
without saying that in the person Of
either one Of these gentlemen the
''peace and dignity Of the State" would
have been upheld and defended i'll
manner creditable TO themselves and
to the Commonwealth.

week, has had large force of hands at
work in his extensive strawberry fields
His cultivation of this delicious berry is
a great help to this place, par ticularly
to the colored people, as he employs a
large namber of men and women, boys
and girls the year around-pays them
we'll too. Mr. Blacknall continues to
enlarge his strawberry industry, as he
receives orders from nearly every State
in the Union. He has recently pub
lished littlel book on strawberry
culture which of course is very valuable,
being the result of many years expert
ence Written in Mr. Blacknall's inter
esting style, it really makes very pleas
ant reading to one not specially inter
ested in berry culture. In addition to
Strawberries, he also ships blackberres
dewberries, and asparagus roots.

Rev. A. 6. Cree.

The friends Of this young gentleman
will be pleased to hear such good re-
ports of him as come from Wake For
est where he has for some time
been pursuing his studies. At the
anniversary meeting of one of
the literary societies, held on the
l4th inst, Mr.. Cree was the orator
having been elected to take the place
of the young gentleman who had been
previously chosen, the latter being pre-
vented from speaking on account of
sickness. Our young friend had only
one weeks notice but he went to work
to prepare himself and we are told the
result was one of the finest addresses
ever delivered before the society.
This speaks we'll for Mr.. Cree, who is
Sophomore, the orator always being
taken from the ranks of the Seniors and
elected year in advance. A cores
pondent writing from Wake Forest to
the Carthage Blade, in giving an &C
count of the exercises, says:
The PhylOmathesian orator was Mr..
A. {. Cree, Of Henderson. His subject
was "Specialism. He traced in a very
pleasing manner the development of the
specialist, showing that he is not peculiar
to any age Or country. Specialism eXis-
ted in the past but lay dormant behind
the clouds of ignorance. This age de-
mands specialist in every department
of human activity. Especially do we
need men OF special training and endow-
ments to make and administer our laws
The speaker closed with beautiful figure
showing the difference between the true
| and false specialist. This gentleman's
effort was very fine and worthy of praise
for the fact that he had only eight days
for preparation, having been elected in
the place of another who was sick

ANOTHER COTTON MANUFACTURE
Err SPEAKS.

AIlusion was made few days ago
to the belief entertained by the late
Governor Holt that cotton manufae~
turing would be greatly benefited I'M
der free coinage of silver. Mr.. a. w.
HAYWOOD. of the Haw River mills, who
has given much study to the matter,
fully agrees with the view presented
bv the London Financial News that
eff the United States were to adopt a
silver basis tomorrow. every Am
erican industry would be protected,
not only at home but in every other
market" Many other intelligent man
ufacturers entertain the same opinion.
The last number of the Manufactur-
er's Record printed letters from TWEEN
tv cotton manufacturers in answer to
n, request for their views on the out
look in the textile industry. Seven hold
the gold standard responsible for the
present depression; twelve give various
other reasons; and only one declares
for gold and the Mckinley tariff. we
agree with the Fayetteville Observer
that the following answer from DR..
Henry W. Lilly, president of the Beay-
err Creek and Bluff Mills, Fayetteville,
lis a masterpieces:
Replying to your invitation Tor
an expression of my views ON the
business outlook in cotton manutac-
turing. / desire briefly to say that
nv idea of what is needed to bring
greater prosperity to the textile
industry is such an adjustment of
the financial system as will cause
a better distribution of money
and increased prices for the pro-
ducts of the soil, giving to the pro-
Queer a greater purchasing power.
The abolition of the gold standard.
with the free and unlimited coin
age of gold and silver at 16 to /,
will bring about this condition.
Depression in the cotton milling
industry cannot be laid at the door
of excessive competition or over
production when there are 100000
900 people in this country, many of
whom are half-naked and without
the means to supply their wants.
1t is not, therefore, the tariff, but
the money question that should
receive the attention of cotton
manufacturers"
