Two Great Men.

Thousands of North Carolinians will
regret to learn of the death of Gen.
Robert B. Vance, which occurred near
Asheyille, November 2Sth, aged 70. He
was an elder brother of the late Sena-
tor Vance. He was Christian gen.
tleman, true in every relation of life,
a brave Confederate brigadier- general,
a consecrated Methodist, a man of
gifts, but inferior to his great brother,
and held in high esteemed by every one
who knew him. The brothers were
very much attached to each other.
The humorous and witty Senator once
said: bob is Methodist and am a
Presbyterian. Bob believes in falling
from grace, but never falls. I do not
believe in falling from grace, and l
am always falling" He served faith
fully throughout the great war, and
was a Representative in the Federal
Congress for 13 years. He was indeed
one Of the purest, truest, best of men.
without envy and without reproach.
But few homes in North Carolina or in
the Southland ever gave to thei1
county two such men as Robert and
ZebulOn Vance. Thank God for such
gifts to mankind Wilmington IN. c.

Suicide Of Miss Gum.

daughter of Peter Gum, of Meadow

pital, from the effects of an overdose
of Iaudanum one day last week. She
applied at the hospital for treatment,
and was admitted to the free ward.
AS is customary, she was taken in
charge by one of the hospital nurses,
who accompanied her to room. The
nurse left the room for few minutes.
On returning she found the woman in
a stupid condition. One of the hos
pital physicians was summoned, and
it was found that she had swallowed
the poison. In corner of the room
was found a bottle labelled 'laud-
anum." Work was Immediately be-
gun in an effort to resusitate her, but
the effort failed. She died at o'clock
next morning.
The unfortunate woman is remem-

as good-looking young woman, who
entered the hospital but few hours
before, apparently in good mood

Farmers as Bookkeepers.

Every farmer ought to keep strict
yearly account of the products OF the
farm, including, of course, the garden,
poultry-yard, orchard and all. This
would be benefit in many ways. One
result would be to convince the farmer
that he makes much more on his farm
than be thinks. The habit of the farm
ers to complain of their hard lot is pro-
verbal. 1t is often said by farmers
themselves that farming doesn't pay.
They think the merchants and trades
men make more and have a better
time. If they will keep careful record
of all that is made and consmed On the
farm and in the family, and the mark
ct value placed upon the same, the
farmer will be surprised that he makes
so much and at cost far below what
the townsman pays for the same
things, and long step would be taxi
en- in the direction of making farm life
happier and farmers sons less anxious
to leave and go to the towns and cities

Mr.. Reinhart Writes About Ills
Ore Property in Anglsta.
is ENTIRELY SATISFIED.
Made a Careful Examination in
Company With His Engineer DE
tailed Statement of the Kennedy
Tract--Its Past and Future.

J. w. Reinhart, No. 43 Cedar ST.,
New York, in letter to the Manufac-
turers Record says:
1.-The statements in the papers of
the uncovering of large deposits of
brown hematite and manganiferous
iron ores and of manganese on the
Kennedy tract of land in Virginia is
correct.
"This tract is in the western slope
of the Blue Ridge mountains, on the
South river watershed of the Shenan-
doah valley, and lies near Stuart s
Draft Station, about 10 miles south of
Basic City and the same distance from
Staunton. 1t extends for six and one
half miles along the Shenandoah ' alley
division of the Norfolk and Western
road.
"This property, up to shot time
ago, was owned by a company that was
in the hands of a receiver for about 2
years, and no work was done on it in
that time. Prior to that period vari-
Gus tests had been made for iron and
manganese ores. These all showed up
well, but the persons making tests ap-
parently were of limited means, and
when they would find the trend of
the deposits had no capital to prose-
cute general development. At the
same time there was not the demand
for iron ores as at present, and the
property stood practically untouched,
so far as development was concerned,
until recently, when it came into my
ownership through purchase of all of
the assets of the company formerly
owning it.
AFTER personal examination of
the Crimora manganese property,
which is just 16 miles north land in
identically the same trend of strata),
l made careful Investigation, in COM
pany with my engineer, of the Kenne-
dy property, and, after being entirely
satisfied with appearances from the
tests formerly made and general indi-
cations, I set the engineer to work
with a force of men for the purpose of
making thoroughly practical dem
onstration. The discoveries that have
been made are eminently satisfactory,
as there is the clearest evidence now in
sight of large deposits of manganese
and of brown hematite iron ores, and
also of manganiferous iron ores (ferro-
manganese) exceedingly valuable for
the manufacture of splegeleisen.
The basis of my first confidence in
the property were the reports made
upon 1t in the past by Profs. A. S. Nc
Creath, of Harrisburg, Pa, and VIM.
M. Fontaine, of the University of
Virginia. The developments that 1
have made prove the accuracy of the
reports of these gentlemen and verify
everything that they have said. The
property is owned by me singly. and
is not to be made the basis for any
'boom,' but will be legitimately de-
veloped."

CREED OF THE FLAG.

Who will haul down the flag. quoth be;
And no man an answer gave,
But who will haul up the flag, ask we,
Where the flag ought never wave?

That takes as a matter of course,
A subject race and conquered soil
And government based on force!
Answer us! answer us true and fair
Whe will haul up Old Glory theres
Who will haul down the flag. quoth be,
Nay, think how it first went up,
When war, astride of the land and sea
Poured wrath from bis brimming
cup;
When brave men died and left in be-
quest
One pledge for the great and small
Not stars for few and stripes for the
rest,
But the flag of our country for all /!

Was not that it's meaning in Washing.
toms day?
From Washington's day to Jackson 3
time,
From Yorktown to New Orleans,
Did any man follow that flag sublime
And doubt what the symbol means?
Free, self-ruled States, each one as a
star
Fixed fast in field of blue,
Fenced in by the blood red stripes of
war
To preserve them for me and you
Answer us now, do not dare to drag
The old faith out of our fathers flag.
Who will haul down the flag, quoth he,
Why, no hand of flesh and bone
Can lower that flag on land or sea
Till the faith of the flag is gone
Till few shall rule aud eunningly
keep
The bunting 80 garnish their greed;
Till dollars are dear and humanity
cheap
By the force of a Tory creed
Then will it fall But, answer us clear
Do you fancy that hour is drawing
near
Did our Liberty Bell ring in vain?
Was our declaration lie?
Must we turn to the Old World again
With the psnitent prodigal cry?
Must we arm us and march in the van
OF Europe's barbaric parade
And boom out gunpowder gospel to
To open pathway for trader
Shall we strut through the world and
bluster and brag
With the dollar-mark stamped on the
brave old fag9
Nay, haul up the fiag-raise it high
Not yet is it's spirit spent
Let it sing in the wind and the sky
The truth that it always meant
Let it sing of the birthright of man,
Of progress that never can lag;
Let it sing that trade may go where it
can,
But Liberty follows the flag
Yes, haul up Old Glory-but comrades
take heed
That no man shall part the old flag
