Answered to the Last Roll Call.

After an illness of about one month
Mr.. Wash Lancaster, an old citizen
and brave ex-Confederate soldier, died
at the home of his daughter Mrs. z. o.
Woodliff in this place. Monday night.
Owing to his enfeebltd and helpless
condition Mr.. Lancast Il was admitted
TO the Soldiers Home in Raleigh some
time ago, and there with other old be-
roes some of them manned and battered
wrecks Of their former selves all that
could make his declining years peace
full and free from want was done for
him. But as if a premonition Of coming
events had possessed his mind he be-
came dissatisfied to stay from his loved
ones any longer and 80 came home to
die. But slightly indisposed at the
time he gradually grew worse until he
was compelled to take his bed from
which he rose no more.
Mr.. Lancaster was 20 odd years Of
age. He was an honest man and in
dustrious citizen, and his record as
Confederate soldier was good one.
The funeral was held from the resi-
dence at 2:30 O'Clock Tuesday after
room, the service being conducted by
DR.. Huffman assisted by Rev. A. R.
Shaw. DR.. Hufham's remarks were
touching and appropriate. He paid a
deserved tribute to the sturdy man
hood and patriotism of the deceased
and declared that the highest type Of
patriot, the greatest heroes the world
has seen were the soldiers of the South.
And there were no truer men or nobler
heroes than those who did their duty
in the ranks as private.
The body was escorted to the ceme-
terry by a company Of old soldiers,
members of Henry L. Wyatt Camp Of
Confederate Veterans, under command
OF Gen. Cheek, and salute was fired
over the grave.
And thus one more member of the
sold guard'' has surrendered to the enc
my of all things mortal and obeyed the
command of the great Captain to come
up higher and receive the reward of the
soldier of the Cross who kept the faith
and fought good fight.

NOT A CUT IN RATES

General Passenger Agent Anderson,
OF the Seaboard Air Line, says the
adoption Of differen,ial rate by his
road is not cut in passenger rates,
and he explains why this action has
been taken. In the Wall stree, edi-
ton Of the New York Journal, of Nov.
1st, appeared the following:
We have received a communication
from the General Passenger Agen, Of
the Seaboard Air Line regarding the
recent cut in passenger rates. We ex-
tract therefrom the following:
1.-The Seaboard Air Line has made
no cut in passenger rates, but has
simply, for its protection and for the
benefit OF its patrons, adopted a differ
entail passenger tariff, which reduces
rates on the all-rail rate $500, while
the combination via Portsmouth and
the steamer lines beyond makes a
larger reduction. This is no fault Of
our tariff, but on account of existing
rates which haye been long since &C
corded the water lines between Nor
folk, Portsmouth and Eastern cities.
The time, however, via the latter route
is longer. We have made repeated APP
plcatlons for ditierential rate to lines
forming the associated roads of Virginia
and the Carolinas and the Southern
Passenger Association but our applica-
hos
association and the other association
has referred our application to the Rate
committee which causes further post
ponement and up to the present time
we haye received no encouragement
from either association and especially
the Southern Passenger Association
The Seaboard Air Line is not men,
Der of any association and has not been
Tor number of years and it is hardly
to be expected that the Southern Pas
senger Association would give it any
recognition to try to remedy griev-
ance presented to it under present in
t1uences. One case i'll particular where
defendants were asked by line in the
association had this peculiar result and
eii0 iiuO "do OuC VI tuC SlIOuStSG III
the Southern Passenger Association.
A resolution was introduced through
its proper representative setting forth
specific ditferentiaIs, when this came
before the Rate committee it was lost.
The request was then submitted to the
commissioner for decision, who after
mature consideration ruled that the APP
plication could only be decided by ar
bitration. The board of arbitration
could not determine whether the differ
entail asked for should be allowed and
referred the matter back stating that
there was no word in the agreement
OF the rules and regulations of said as
ISOLATION lntlmating any authority in
the association Of the Rate committee
to ever consider the allowance to make
such allowance Southern Passenger
Association Arbitration Case, No. >,
argued January l7-2S, 1889. There
fore you see although we have worked
earnestly and diligently on the ques-
ton Of difl'erentials which we feel
should have been allowed us for ten
years, we, at the end of that time,
found ourself in about the same posi-
ton as when we commenced while
competitors through their peculiar in
fluence have been permitted to increase
their advantages to our injury"

A Great Magazine Feature.

The Ladies' Home Journal has secured
what promises to be the great magazine
feature of 1898. 1t is entitled 1.-The
Inner Experience OF a Cabinet Member $
Wife" In series OF letters written by
the wife of Cabinet member to her Sis
ter at home, are detailed her actual eX-
periences in Washington, frankly and
freely given. The letters were written
without any intention OF publication
They give intimate peeps behind the cur
tain of high official and social life. They
are absolutely fearless, they study Wash
ington life under the searchlight as it has
never been before presented. The Pres-
dent and the highest officials OF the land,
with the most brilliant men and women
of the Capital. are seen in the most IA
miiar way. As these are all actual eX-
periences the name Of the writer is with
held. The letters will doubtless excite
much shrewd guessing by readers and
study of internal evidence to discover
the secret The "Experiences, which
will be beautifully illustrated, begin in
the December number and will continue
for several months.

A fact often overlooked, or not always

from distressing kidney and bladder

weakness or womb trouble of some sort

easily avoided by setting urine aside for

The Death of r1r. WORKMAN.

Brief reference was made last week
to the death Of Mr.. a. 4. Workman,
which occurred in Raleigh Wednesday
night.
AS is known to his friends here he
had been afflicted long time during
which he had been a great sufferer
For several months before his family
went to Raleigh Mr.. Workman had
been confined to his home and since
their removal about the latter part of
August he gradually grew worse. His
condition was such that the end was
looked for at any time and it came not
in the nature Of a surprise to those
who knew his sutierlngs and Affections.
The body was brought to Hender-
son Thursday afternoon aud inferred
at the family burial place about 8
miles in the country. Funeral SER
vices were held in the Presbyterian
church at 2 O'Clock Rev. DR.. Hufham
officiating in the absence of the pastor.
Mr.. Workman was well known
throughout Vance and adjoining
counties. He was lawyer by profess
sion first locating in Oxford, where he
was associated with Col. George Wor-
than, his kinsman. About fifteen years
ago he came to Henderson and was for
awhile associated in practice with COL
l.. &. Edwards. He was a man of
vigorous mind and until disease un-
dermined his constitution he was fairly
successful in his profession. He was
genial companion and warm friend,
and many hearts are saddened at his
passing away.
Mr.. Workman was in the 4Sth year
Of his age. He leaves a wife and four
sons beside two brothers, Messrs.
BENZ aud Perry Workman, of this
county, together with large number
of more distant relatives in this and
other States.

DR.. Willis Lewis. whose critical
sickness was mentioned in these COL
umns last week, died at twenty-five
minutes to ten O'Clock Sunday night.
He had been confined to the house
since February and most Of the time
to his bed for the past two mouths
His trouble was due principally to a
general break down of the vital forces,
incident to Old age, followed by partial
paralysis.
He grew weaker aud more helpless
gradually wea NO out as the days went
by, yet he appeared to suffer but little
and the end was calm and peaceful as
the close Of the hallowed day bad been.
He had frequently expressed a readl-
ness and willingness to die and cOurted
death as relief from the weary and
wasting decay of age and suffering,
when the spirit should be released and
at rest with its Maker.
DR.. Lewis was a native of Granville
county and was well and widely
known. About twelve years ago he
came to Henderson from Petersburg,
Va, where he had lived for long
while practicing his profession, and
had resided here since.
He has seven children living, three
sons and four daughters, among these
being Mr.. G.. A Lewis and Mrs. Man
ming of Henderson. A younger brother,
Capt. Charles r. Lewis, Of Granville
county, also survives him. DR.. Lewis
was in the 18th year Of his age.
The funeral was held from the Pres
byterian church at i O'Clock Monday
afternoon, Rev. a. II. Shaw conduct
ing the service, assisted by DR.. Hut
ham.

To Cure Catarrh

Do not depend upon Snuffs. inhaleDts or
other local application. Catarrh is con-
stitutional disease, and can be successfully
treated only by means of a constitutional
remedy like Hoods SarSaparilla. which
thoroughly purities the blood and removes
the Scrofulous taints which cause catarrh.
The great number of testimonials from
those who have been cured Of catarrh by
Hoods SarSaparilla prove the unequalled
power of this medicine to conquer this dis
ease If troubled with CatarIh give
Hoods Sarsaparilla fair trial at once.

Some one has said that according to
the Darwinian theory Of evolution, the
amount of clover seed produced in any
given locality was proportionate to the
number of old maids there resident.
And he undertakes to prove it by the
following statemsnt:
There can be no clover seed with
out the bumble-bee, because no other
insect fertilizes it. The enemy OF the
bumble-bee is the common field mouse,
that steals into their nest and destroys
the larv;e and eats up the honey. The
enemy of the mouse is the common
house-cat, and the solid friend OF the
cat is the old maid. Consequently the
more old maids the more cats; the
more cats the less mice and the less
mice the more bumble-bees, the NOR
bees the more clover Seed

Two of 4 Kind.

The worst two enemies of the cOun-
try newspaper is the one that is too
stlngy to subscribe and the other is
the man who comes regular every week
to beat the editor out of a copy Of the
paper that has cost money to get it
out. We say this is gall of the worst
type.-Oxford Public Ledger.
Nothing truer than that. And yet
there are people who do not seem to
look at it in that light They not only
ask an editor to give them his space
free but the paper also-his only stock
in trade-when they would not think
of going into a store and asking the
proprietor to give them yard of cloth
or pound of sugar. But the principle
is the same.
