AN OBITUARY.
Bryson City Democrat:

Bryson City Democrat:
With this issue the Demo-
crat will cease publication,
as has been previously an.
nounced. We pass into "in.
nocuous desuetude" with the
same lofty silence that char
acterized the burial af Sir
William Moore. The grass
that will grow over the grave
af the Democrat will never be
as green rs the editor was in
attempting to run d newspa-
per on the ground that had
shivered the aspirations and
hopes of Hodge, Jim Cathey,
Pender and Paul Wright. But
we are now ripe with expert
ence and prepared for Il bet,
ter existence. We may enter
the New Jerusalem poor and
needy, but unless the trusts
and combines have got a mo
nopoly there already, we may
get a click" at the golden
streets, something we can't
do in this town. But We don't
expect to favor the single
gold standard until some
thing of that kind does hap
pen.
We have had somcfuD. but
it has mostly been at our
own expense. Like old Ben
Franklin, we have paid dear
for the whistle. But we kept
on whistllng until we feel we
are unable to draw the puck
ering string any longer. In
other words, our dear whis
tie is 'busted.' We haven't
eaten any dirt and have quit
'drinkin' licker,' and have a
reasonable hope for a person
al future. With this pleasant
reflection we dismiss a load OF
care from onr mind and re-
tie as gracefully as an un-
successful knight OF the quill
can, bowing ourself out back
wards to conceal as much as
possible the 'breeches in the
postelior of our breeches,
that we modestly wear as IA
badge of honor that will be
awarded to every editor who
will embark in the newspaper
business in this unfruitful
field.

Why Booth Killed Lincoln.


a short article in the April
number of the Wake Forest
Student. 1t was sent by Geo.
Anderson Foole, son of the
late DR.. George A. Foote, Of
Warrenton, an honored and
highly reputable physician.
lately deceased. He first gives
an extract from Appleton's
Cyclopedid OF Biography
(wronglv printed 'Biology')
OF the hanging of that very
gallant ana meritOriNus Off.

a native of Virginia, d
born in 1885, and hanged

regularly commissioned, and
was acting under orders. 1t
was one of the many diSgl ace
full acts OF the Goths an d
Vandals in their war upon
the South, and literally with
out any reasonable or just
cause. A sketch was found
among DR.. Foote's papers,
who was a surgeon in h e
Confederate army and was
imprisoned at Fort Colum-
bus. New York harbor. DR..
Foote'S posthumous paper is
both interesting and inform
ing. He tells OF the efforts
made to save Capt. Deall's
life by Gov. Andrew. of Mas
sachusetts, and Others, but
in vain. DR.. Foote'S cell, in
which he was confined, was
adjoining Captain B e a rs.
Beall and John Wilkes Booth
had been roOm-rnates at col
lege and we're very d ear
friends. Booth tried every
way to secure Beall's release
from prison, but in vain. An
effort to secure his escape
was made, in which DR.. Foote
was to be a party. In fact.
two plans came to naught.
The interesting point real
ly of historic interest is to fol
low DR.. Foote's private mem
orandum gives a statement
that will surprise many, asst
did us. The common idea is
that President Lincoln was
