at Mr.. NJ. r. Cherry's few days ago.
Mrs. Cherry and her little son went into
the barn to shoot a snake. Sine carried
a pistol as her weapon of defence, ami
when she sprung it and attempted to
shoot it would not fire. She handed
the pistol to the boy and told him it was
worthless. Upon taking it the boy pulled
upon the trigger and the pistol fired,
the ball striking Mrs. Cherry just above
the knee. 1t made a flesh wound onlys
and the physician easily extracted the
ball. After all it was not serious.
The Scotland Neck Temperance Asso-
citation, which has been in existence here
for dozen years, dislbanded a week ago
because of some irregularities that had
crept into the organization.
1t was recognized last might, and it is
proposed to make it an active and posi-

Sermon by Dr.. Carraway. Particulars Of the
Beloved Pastors Death. The Burial
at Mount Airy.

Winston, Y. c., August 23.-(Special.)
The remains of Rev. DR.. Greasy ar
rived here on the morning train from
Baltimore accompanied by the eldest
son, w. NJ Greasy. They were met at
the depot by u board of stewards of
Centenary church, several Knights Tenn
plar, who acted as honorary pall-bear-
ers. and a large number of friends of
the deceased. The body was taken to
the pastors study of the Centenary
church where it was viewed by the
members of the family.
At 1920 a. M the funeral services
were held at the church and were very
largely attended. While the choir sang
sleep Thy Last Sleep the procession
proceeded up the centre aisle. The cas-
ket was placed in front of the altar
which, together with the pulpit and en-
frances to annex and chair formerly
occupied by the deceased, were appro
priately draped in emblems of mourn
ing. The floral offerings were profuse
and beautiful Scripture lessons We're
read by Revs. f. II. Wood and l.. W.
Crawford, after which Rev. Dr. ChritZ-
berg, of Charlotte, announced the 655th
hymn. The sermon was preached by
DR. Carraway, who used as text, Rev.
2:10: BE thou faithful unto death and
| will give three a crown of life"
A touching tribute it was that the
presiding elder paid TO the life of DR..
Greasy. DR.. Carraway gave the follow
ing particulars of DIR. Creasy's death;
He was thought to be better Sunday
morning, but was attacked that after
noon by one of his terribly nervous
spells and became so denDonStrative
that he disturbed nearby patients and
had to be moved. Monday morning DR..
Greasy seemed restful and lay down
beside his nurse and apparently fell
asleep. Sometime afterwards the nurse
thought the patient should be aroused
and placing his hand ON him found that
he was dead.
DIR. Carraway was followed by Rev.
r. Il. n. Stephenson, who received DIR.
Greasy into the church and who also
performed the ceremony at his marriage.
Mr.. Stephenson gave "reminiscences Of
DIR. Creasy's ministerial life and spoke
tenderly of his power and worth. Dur
ing the singing hundreds awaited them
selves OF the opportunity to take last
look at the lifeless face of the beloved
pastor.
The remains left Winston at 2 o'clock
on a special train for Mount Airy for
imterment, which took place in the
cemetery late this afternoon. They
were accompanied by the family, Rev.
DIR. Carraway, Rev. Dr. Wood Rev

INEBRIETY.. DISEASE

Inebriety, morphine and other drug
addictions are dependent upon a diseased
condition of the nervous system. The
victim of the disease again and again
puts forth the most heroic efforts to re-
form, but his disease is too absolutely
overpowering to be conquered by reso-
buttons. The will-power he would ex-
ercise if he could is no longer supreme.
Alcoholic stimulants have so cOngested
the delicate nerves that they cannot re-
spond to the performance of their func-
tional duties, and the helplessness Of the
victims condition is as inexplcable to
himself as it seems ineXcusable to his
friends. The Kelley treatment cures
this disease by restoring the nerves to
a perfectly healthy state. 1t cures by
removing the cause. The result is that

Again, in answer to the inquiry 'how
do YOU suppose a gold Democrat can re-
turn to the party?" Mr.. Bryan said:
.sThe door is as wide open and as large
MS If was when the gold Democrats went
out.
.Some will come back because they
have been converted to Chicago platform
nrinciples: others will come back because
of the new issues. All that Is ASKED
Of those returning is that they shall re-
move their pistols from their hip pocE-
cts before entering the door.

TO large majority of the party me
platform will be entirely good; to some
If win be better on the whole than the
Republican PLATFORM. I'm battle those
are ON our side who are aiming at the
enemy"
Mr. Bryan says nothing about the
paramount issue" He declares that the
Democratic party stands for three things
--and is earnestly for each without sac
rifcing one for the other, making them
all paramount They are:
"a financial policy which will furnish
enough money for an independent Imam
cial policy.
industrial independence and the over
throw of the trusts, which are the 1aale
of our overgrown corporate power

heterogeneous empire.

MIR. Bryan's interview will inspire the
.'unteanified'' everywhere. Too many
good men have been cast down through
fear that money cam buy the election
in 1900. While an optimist IN ms
faitb in the integrity and purity of the
people, Mr.. Bryan has always been
guarded in predicting party success. Ills
habit has been. in answer to questions rs
TO success, to say that the only
thing to consider was to deserve
to win. Because of his guarded eX-
nressions. his confident prediction OF
victory in this interview will have
great weight everywhere. Democratic
success in 1900" he said, sis becoming
more and more certain. On the old issues
we are stronger with the people than
we were i'm 1896. = We are strong
in the new questions just where we We're
weak in the old ones The
reports from all sections bca- out
what | have said about Democratic
prospects"
These utterances will give cheer and
hope to all elements in America who are
antagonizing militarism, monometalism
and trust control 1t is the first time
Mr.. Bryan has predicted victory, and
therefore his confidence will be conta-
gious He is in close touch, not only
with the leaders, but with the people
themselves, in every section of the Re
public His assurance that Democratic
success in 1900 is becoming more and
more certain is based upon information
thus received, and Democrats every
where will, as they read these assur-
ances from their great leader THANK
God and take courage"
