BUFFALO CENTENNlAL--A SUGGESTION


1t is seldom that a church in North
Carolina celebrates its one hundredth
anniversary. 1t is an event so rare as
to be remarkable. The account of the
centennial celebration of Buffalo Pres
byterian church published elsewhere is
the most interesting piece of news that
has appeared in these columns in a long
time.
Buffalo is a dear name to the true
Scotchman of Moore county. This
writer lonce enjoyed the privilege of
worshipping with the congregation that
goes to that ancient kirk. The new
church stands on the site of the one
built by the devout Macs who were the
pioneers in the sandhills. It's history is
precious to their descendants. 1t is val
liable to the State, for from its men,
bership have come, generation after gen.
Grafton, an intelligent and patriotic citi-
zenship.
1t ;s well that the members of the Buff
falo church have taken occasion, at the
close of a century of great usefulness, to
recall the annals of the past, to look
forward to the achievements of the flu
ture, and to "thank God and take cour-
age" Surrounded by the graves Of pious
elders and deacons, Of sanity women
who gave the best that was in them
for the cause Of the Master, of the
young who passed away while yet under
the nurture of the Sabbath Schools, the
celebration must have been one of the
most sacred occasions in the history of
that sturdy and worthy folk. Its holy
Influences will linger upon their hearts
and sweeten and ennoble their lives.
The people Of North Carolina do not
put sufficient store by old things. They
lack reverence for traditions about their
ancestors, generation for the old
pioneers whose virtue and patriotism
made the State, and lack the desire to
perpetuate the heredity of church and
secular influences that have had great
weight in the States history. Buffalo
church as a factor for good in the State
cannot be estimated. There are other
churches Of shorter history that have
been equally fruitful. Many of them are
neglected and forgotten, and much OF
hac hicfarv hoc fhuc ho
address of DR.. Lacy is the most valua-
BILE contribution to North Carolina his
tory of the year. 1t ought to stimulate
historical interest among all the churches
so that the children may have greater
cause to revere the memory of their
ancestors, who, however wanting in
what is called culture, are the most
reverent and orthodox population in the
world. Our simple faith in the gospel
can be traced to the rude country church
es like Buffalo in Moore county. What
a wealth of history and what a mine of
tradition lie untouched about these plain
old churches! The pastor of Buffalo in
this celebration, DR.. Lacy in his histori-
cal address, and the other speakers have
set an example of doing justice to the
founders of our churches that ought to
be widely emulated. We will never have
a good history of North Carolina until
the history Of every neighborhood church
and institution old enough to have roots
has been prepared with the thoroughness
that characterizes DIR. Lacy's history of
Buffalo church.

TWO OF THE CoNvICrs CAUGHT
And The Others VIII Probably Soon
Be Captured.


Two of the five convicts who escaped
from the penitentiary Thursday night,
were captured Friday night. John
Johnson, who was sentenced for ten
years for burglary, was captured near
Morrisville by G. +. Beasley; and John
HALLIBURTON, the life prisoner, was taken
near Nelson by w. j. Greene. The men
were still wearing convict's clothes and
this fact caused their capture. Yache
Simmons was with johnson when Beas-
ley first saw them, but he ran. Beasley
and Greene got $1S each for making the
capture. They brought the fugihves
back to the penitentiary yesterday.
II was reported here last night that
mother of the escaped convicts had been
aptured pear Wilmington, but il it is
true the penitentiary authorities have
not been notified of it.
People in the vicinity of Morrisville
and Durham are on the look out for
Simmons and the other two men who are
still at large. 1t is believed that they
will seon be re-captured.

the only county in North Carolina that

Some counties gave per cent. of their
vote for schools the same as Surry, but
carried no township for schools, as Wake,

ties should receive any aid whatever.

SUICIDE. ENGINEER TIM CoRDER SUI CIDES. Sends Bullet Through His
 Brains.

Early Friday night Tim Cor der, an engineer on the Cotton Belt road, committed suicide by sending Il bullet through his brain with re- voIver. He had always been de- voted husband and became very Respondent after his wife's death, which occurred about two years ago. Since that time he had been in poor health and his mind became un- balanced. He made repeated threats that he would end his life by suicide. About two months ago Corder went to Sah Antonia. Texas, at the ad- recently returned from there when he carried ont his threats of self destruction. Corder had been staying at the home of his brother, MT. A. r. Corder, at 6l0 Tennessee street. Friday night he went to his room and putting q revolver to his his temple, sent ;l bullet crashing throuah his brains, causing instant death.
 Mir. Corder was 34 years of age. He had been in the employ of the Cotton Belt road for several years. He was member of Knights of Pythias and Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers.

reports of the road overseers and justices of the peace. We find a promptness and accuracy in the re- ports of the magistrates that seems to us very commendable.
 Their attention should, however. be called to the necessity of using the proper blanks on which to make their reports.
 We find number of road over- seers have neglected or over looked the importance of making regular .rcpos ts, possibly for want Of some thing to report. However the com mittee suggests that the County Clerk be required to write a general letter to all road overseers, ealing their attention to the law on this subject.
 We find a number of road over- seers have reported inferior and in some cases dangerous bridges. This we suppose, however, will have the attention of our efficient County Judge.

The Star City Democrat says that the Pine Bluff cotton buyers appar ently "stand in with each other and will not bid against each other on cotton. Whether this charge is true or not, the report is likely to in5ure Pine Bluff as cotton market, and we therefore hope, for the good os our city, that the report is not true. The cotton men are welcome to the use of the GRAPHIo's columns for a reply.
 Last weeks issue of the Star City Democrat says:
 ''The farmers of this county say that the cotton buyers of Pine Bluff, apparently, ssstand in" with each other, as each buyer seems to have certain day to buy and the others will not bid against him. If this ia true, Pine Bluff will suffer, for it will cause considerable amount Of cotton to go elsewhere. It is as much to the interest of the mer. chants of Pine Bluff to see that the farmers who haul cotton there are protected; as for the farm CTS to protect them. Will they do it 2''

THE COMING MAN."

The alleged Forgotten Man. has
put in his appearance at Chapel Hill
walking from Waynesville to attend
the university. He is the man to honor.
He is precisely OF that manner Of men
who have been pioneers and nation
builders-men of force and hope and
resolved will-self-reliant men; eager,
earnest strenuous men with a plenty Of
sand in the craw," and as Carlyle. the
great, says, with fire in the belly"
men Of valor, purity, fidelity, honesty,
discretion-men Of good qualities and
whom Shakespeare wrote, "who hath
not the life of a man." but men who
stand"
CAS- if a man were author Of himself,
And knew no other kim"
The Forgotten Man" is not built
that way or he would not be left at
the end of the family procession. He is
content with present surroundings,
with what he finds He has no desire
to push out in the way of discovery
or to pitch his tent like Daniel Boone
in the wilderness with enemies to con-
front him. '"The Forgotten Man" is a
home-body, who loves to sleep and is
satisfied with his lot, loving Incidence
and hugging poverty. He would not
walk an hundred or two hundred miles
through dust and heat to gather all the
wisdom Of Solomon and to inherit all
the learning Of the ages. He is not
made Of the "sterner st%uff"out Of which
are fashioned heroes in the strife"
martyrs for conscience, great leaders of
men, the world c~onquerors. He is
tame, fiat, incipid with no kindling
ardors Of soul, no worthy hopes beyond
the present, a staggered, with torpid
liver and useless life. The student at
the university shows his tribe is not
that Of the dullard's tribe, but that he
is Of a race whose BLOOD is hot, whose
aspirations are noble, whose desires for
acquisition are strong, consuming. He is
not the Forgotten Man" out he is the
coming man." and he means to thor
oughly furnish and qualify himself for
the great work that Providence may
SEND to him. Great success to hin and
all like him.
