MARGARET CONLEY KINCAID.

For The News.
So another sweet old homestead in
Linville has been invaded by the
"Grim Monster" The beautiful
stream which sweeps in crystal clear
ness by its hospitable doors is but ar
emblem of it's we'll known purity. The
surrounding orchard, with its song of
birds, its fragrance of blossom and
the joyous smile of it's golden fruitage,
all are typical of the warmer welcome
that ever greeted friends and strangers.
Margaret Conley Kincaid, relic of
the late r. n. Kincaid, the light and
the strength of the household, has
passed to the realm beyond the stars.
Not only was she a loyal and faithful
wife and mother, but there went out
from her life and example a sacred in
huence, which softened and purified
those who came within it's radius.
Gentle, loving, h was the incarnation
of kindness. Well supplied with a fair
show Of the good things of life, her
heart went out in charity to her less
fortunate neighbors. No beggar or
tramp ever left her doors empty hand
ed. Truly did she ''stretch her
hand to the poor, and reach forth her
hands to the needy Deeply ground

which was the guiding principle of her
life.
At the beautiful sunset hour. when
the heavens were aglow with indefina-
BILE glory, her loved ones gathered
about her bedside saw the face
wreathed with a hallowed smile, saw
the painless end and knew, in their
hearts, that her franchised soul was
safe in the arms of Jesus. With par
donable pride the noble Portia ex-

could we'll have exclaimed, II am a

There is something impressibly
sweet in the fact that Uncle Joshua
Gibbs, a friend and neighbor for half
a century, should have conducted the
funeral services. He knew the many
virtues of the deceased and her conse-
Grated life. Though never set apart to
the ministry by any church formulas.
his long intimacy with the family and
his life so strong in faith, SO rich in
service. made it exceedingly appropri-
ate that he perform the last sad rights.
In that quiet country graveyard. close
by the solemn woods and under the
shadow of the great hills, this bent old
man must have touched many a heart
with his tender, rugged eloquence. All
who know him believe that the spirit
Of God was with him and the Divine
Comforter blessing and hallowing the
scene. c. +. NICK.

3. In 1Gl1 appeared the translation
that for nearly 300 years has been the
version Of the bible accepted by Eng
lishs speaking people generally as THE
Bible, the translation that, though
it has never been formally authorized

the translation was made through the

and American.

Two other famous TRANSACTIONS must
be mentioned in our outline. These are

of band of English (puritam exiles

of the English catholic college of Douai,
in Flanders. These two TRANSACTIONS
had both of them very important in

1t must be remembered that the bible

our objective point. for the revised

yesterday morning from Roanoke, and

the Board of Trade and Business Mems
Association. after which the time was
spent in examining the advantages and

movements yesterday, and the program
for to-day, is explained. in our news
columns.
The New England editors are making
voluntary tour of the South, with the
view of a critical examination of its in
dustrial conditions. We greet them with
hearty welcome. Their coming is adj
ditional proof that the bloody chasm
made by the war between the North
and the South is bridged over. May
their stay with us be both pleasant and
profitable.
The press of the country Is n great
schoolmaster. The lessons Is teaches are
the most truthful, and rarely fail to re-
fleet the sentiments of the people. The
visit of our New England brethren will
be mutually advantageous: and for
this as well as for other reasons tina;
nre obvious, we unite with the citizens
generally in extending n most cordial
welcome. and the earnest wish that
their stay may be pleasant.

HELP HONEST INDUSTRY.

There WAS gentleman once who was
suddenly brought face to face with the
problem, how (having lost his income)
he could make n living for himself and
family. Having considerable pluck and
industry, he resolutely set to work
making q shoe blacking, after n for
mula he had received from his father.
and which he had tested on his own
boots and shoes with complete satisfac-
tion. He had a lot of cans and boxes
made, Of various sizes, and he made
the backing In an old clubhouse In his
backyard. How n trust hates such
men!
He peddled his manufacture in n big
basket. which he carried on his arm,
md he did not hesitate to black any
body's boots to recommend his black
Ing. He forced the public to recognize
Its merits, and 1t sold like hot cakes.
At length. he ceased peddling 1t, be
cause the demand on him for the arti-
Gle at wholesale became so great, not
only In his home city, but In other
cities and towns, that he was kept busy
enough in making 1t and sending 1t
off. Without even establishing n fac
tory, or taking out patent, his sue
cess made him a rich man, and when
he died, he left considerable fortune

That is an example Of pluck and luck

OUR INDIAN RECORD AGAIN.

Our policy and practice in dealing
with the American aborigines ought to
reveal what the Philippines may ex-
pect from us. The Indians of this
country were natives in possession here
when we came. as the Philippines
were natives in possession of the Phil
ippine Islands when we arrived there
We took forcble possession of this
country. as we are taking possession of
the Philippines; and we assumed the
sovereignty and government of the In
dams here, as we are now doing to-
ward the Philippines there We drove
the Indians out as we came in and we
slew them with great slaughter: just as
we are driving the Malays out of the
island of LuZon and are Strengthening
them with great havoc. We. in effect,
eXterminated the Indians. except a few
lingering thousands that still remain
on territory that we allot them and
where we locate them and conflne them
by force. If necessary, even If we have

The true history of our course toward
the Indians Is a terrible record of
cruelty and injustice; and when we
were not killing them. we were driving
and robbing them. always without
mercy or the least consideration for
their rights. under law, treaty, or COM
mon equity, or natural honesty. Is it
expected that our traders, squatters
and politicians will be more kind, con-
siderate and just with the Philippines,

If by any possibility the slightest ex-
pectation of the sort could exist in the
shadow of our black Indian record, our
recent criminal aggressions' upon the
Malays would entirely destroy 1t. and
demonstrate the truth that we shah
pursue the same horrible course of
treachery. robbery blood and murder
we followed toward the Indians until
