in MEMORIAM.

Maude Humphrey, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. D. ]. Humphrey and member
of the infant class of Lu1nberton Baptist
Sunday school, died on Sunday. July Is,
1897, after being sick. for three weeks.
1t is painful and distressing to see those
we love suffer and die, but it is consoling
to know that separation endures only for
a short time and that eternity will be spent
with those who die in childhood's ii1no-
cent days, by all the redeemed, as the
Lord Himself said "Suffer little children
to come unto me and forbid them not for
of such is the kingdom of heayen."
To the parents we will say that it may
be even as little Maude remarked in the
beginning of her sickness, Mamma, if l
die will be up in heaven looking down
at you"
We know that Maude is "safe in the
arms of Jesus, there to enjoy everlasting
happiness.
To the bereaved we extend our heart
felt sympathy and pray that the Lord may
comfort their minds and hearts.
Ordered by the school that this memo
rial be recorded on our minute book, that
a copy be furnished Mr.. and Mrs. D, J
Humphrey, and that the RoBEsoNIAN
and the Populist be requested to publish

DR.. Kirby, superintendent of the
North Carolina Insane Asylum, at
Raleigh, last week notified the au-
thorities at Wilmington, that John
C. Davis, who is indicted in the
court of New Hanover for false
pretense, embellishments and for
gerry, is no longer insane and will
soon be discharged from the asy-
lum as cured. Authority has been
given Solicitor Richardson to have
Davis arrested as soan as he is dis
charged from the asylum, and he
will probably be tried for the of.
fenaes of which he stands charged
The defalcations of Davis were
much commented upon at the time
of their being found out, and the
case is familiar to all the people il
this section of the State.

F. P. Humphrey, of Branch's

day to renew his subscription. He
tells us that the people of his Sec
ton, who now get their mail at AL

be sent to Washington asking that
a new postofice be established at
Branch's. A similar petition was
presented to the last admlnistra-
ton and it was beeived that
the office would be established,
but the matter was in some way
overlooked. The same petition
would not be received by the
present administration and new
one is being gotten up. The
people interested believe that they
will be successful in this effort.
The new office will be named Jet.
If established it will benefit over
eighty families.

been talked of considerably re-
Gently, but no definite plans had
heretofore been made. The pro-
posed line would not only be a
great convenience to Lumberton
by giving it quick communication
with the upper part of the county,

 America.
 Dr. Andrade, son of the Venezuelan minister, Las returned from Mexico City. He was one of the Venezuelan delegates to the American Medical congress He and his associates succeed ed in having Caracas named as the place of holding the next convention, on Dec 26, 1899. Cuba and Canada were the other competitors for the honor.
 Dr. Andrade says the congress is ac- complaining much good in securing uni form safeguards against yellow fever and other diseases prevalent in the Americas. It was determined to recom- mend minister of health as one of the cabinet officers of the various countries, and one of the standing committees is developing plan of uniform quaran- tine.
 There was much interest shown in Mexico as to the Venezuelan boundary settlement, and Dr. Andrades views were solicited. but owing to his con- nection with the legation here he de. clined to be interviewed. The general feeling was most favorable to the set clement made.

JOHN WANAMAKER, ex-Postmaster General, in an address before the Business Mems League, at Phila- delphia, is reported to have said that new party in this country is necessity. This remark was brought about by the failure of the Mckinley administration to bring the promised prosperity, and sug- gests serious thoughts for reflection on the part of Republicans. That the Mckinley administration is a failure, so far as it's promises were concerned, cannot be gainsayed, that prosperity does not come is matter of general knowledge, and that it will not come is a universal belief. 1t is foolish to claim that the people can be taxed into pros perity, as is claimed by the advo- cates of the Dingley bill. Then what IS to be expected? The Re publican party must either bring about prosperity or it is doomed to overwhelming defeat This is what Mr. Wanamaker knows. That it will be defeated in the next two National elections hardly admits of doubt. Then it must come up on new lines, which is equivalent to saying that new party is Q neces- sity. Protection has been exploded and what these new lines will be cannot be predicted at this time with any degree of certainty.

The movement OH the part of the Knights of Labor to get the glass work CTS to unite with them is destined to fail. it is said, and the glass workers will, on the other hand, consolidate the unions of the window, flint and green glass trades and will place them under one head.
