4 Pathetic Scene at Monumental Church
on Sunday Morning.
There was a pathetic ana touching
scene at Monumental church sunday
morning just after the regular morning
At the close OF the services Rev. J. NJ.
Uorner, OF oxford, y. c., who conducted
the services, announced TO the large
congregation assembled that the re
mains OF their late rector would
be brought into the church ana the
casket would be opened. and that those
VINO SO desired could take u last look at
their beloved pastor and friend.
IL was d pathetic scene indeed when the
remains were placed IN position and the
large concourse Of members and friends
Of the chugch filed around the bier, view
ing for the last time the face OF the man
who by his ever ready sympathy and love
had so endeared himself to them.
The great popularity and love In which
no was held was well-attested by the
many expressions OK grief and sorrow
shown as the people came and went dur
ing the day.
The casket remained open until the
hour Of tho funeral. o'clock, when the
church was crowded with people OF all
denominations all wishing TO pay then
respect to 50 noble laborer in Gods
vineyard.
Tho services were conducted by Rev.
benjamin Dennis, assisted by Reys.
Preston Nash, Meade Clark. J. y. Down
man, j. NJ Homer and Chrisman. 1t was
sad, solemn, and sorrowful, scene inn
pressiye in every particular.
Tho church was draped in black, the
lights burned low and the low sweet
chant Of the vested choir, Lord let me
know mine end and the number Of my
days" made the occasion one long to be
remembered.
The choir sang softly and with beauti-
ful effect, There is a spacious armament
on high" and Just as l am without one
plea" And as the remains were borne
from the church chanted the Nunce
Demittus. Lord letest thou thy servant
depart in peace. according TO thy word"
The service was beautiful and the music
well rendered.
The remains were taken TO Wilson, n.
c., on the evening train, where they were
inferred in the family section yesterday

The Republican State Committee COM

morrow night az Lynchburg.
Two factions VIII be represented there,
one for ana one against State Conven-
ton. The faction that will urge the call
ing Of convention and the placing In the
field Of a gubernatorial ticket will be the
followers OF Chairman Lamb and Gen,
James A. Walker, and those who will Cpl
nose a convention are the friends of Judge
Waddnl. Col. James ID. Brady and Hon.
George Bowden.
Judging by past fights tho chances OF
mo convention" are good, but there is no
doubt that a large majority OF the mass
OF Renubllcans are In favor OF a conyen-
ton and ticket.
speaking OF the coming meeting OF the
committee a prominent local Republican
said Yesterday that in his mind conven-
tion would be- called provided there was q
large gathering Of committeeman and a
small use OF proxies.
"If the proxies are to be used for the
furtherance Of the plans ana wishes OF
two or three men who have already Sc
cured government positions. regardless OF
the desire OF the masses. then in my opin-
ion there will be no convention. But /
understand that meetings are TO be held
throughout the State ana that
messengers and messages will pour
into Lynchburg Wednesday that VIII
make the State Committee under
stand that no monkey business Will
be tolerated" said the gentleman.
Another Republican OF some local note
stated that he was In favor OF conven-
tson. and that nine-tenths Of the Repub-
leans in this district were also anxious
To have ticket up.
