DEATH OF A GOOD WOMAN
Mrs. Helen Woodbridge Vigal Passed
 Away Yesterday

Mrs. Henry Woodbridge Viga1 died yes- terday morning at o'clock at the residence of Mrs. L. M Ogletree, on Nineteenth street.
 The funeral took place from the house at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon, the exercises being conducted by Dr. B. D. Grey pastor of the First Baptist church, assisted by Dr.
 Williams. The lnterment was in Woodlawn
 cemetery.
 Mrs. Vigal has resided in Birmin gham for several years, coming here from Eufaula to join her son William H. Vigal, with
 whom she made her home. She was the
 daughter of the late William G. Woodbridge
 of Georgia, one of the wealt1hest and most
 prominent men of his time. The greater
 part of her life was spent in Georgia, where
 in early young womanhood she was mar
 ried to Henry Vigal, who died a few years later. There were three sons to bless the
 un4on, the two surviving being William H. of this city, and Absalom Woodbridge of Florida The former was the loving watch CT at her bedside, and there will be num- berless friends who will deeply sympathze with him in his great bereavement. Mrs. Vigal was one of the most lovable and love- ly women. In her life and character she
 was typical of all that was best and sweet est and strongest of that past that is dear to the gentle women of the old south. She was deeply pous and those who knew her best in her girlhood home in Georgia, in later life in Eufaula, in Birmingham, will remember her graces and beautiful attri- butes of heart and mind. She was most devoted mother and endeared herself to all those with whom she came in contact. Her illness was of several weeks duration. but her passing away was as peaceful as the white blossoms that covered the little
 mound of earth that marked her last rest ing place.

On Wednesday evening next MT. William Morris will play a return engagement here in Anthony Hopes new play, "The Adven- lures of Lady Ursula at the Jefferson theater. MT. Hopes fame as an author and MT. Morris eminence as an actor make a union of interest which before has been most powerfully attractive to all theater- goers in "The Prisoner of Zenda" AL though this play was a stage adaptation of MT. Hopes celebrated romance. 'The Ad- ventures of Lady Ursula' is the first orig inal play ever written by Mr. Hope. and was one of the most successful New York Lyceum plays presented by Manager Froh- man. It is a high comedy, with a most entertaining story. The play abounds in humorous and romantic situations, and the part of Sir George Sylvester offers oppor- tunities of fine bearing and graceful act ing, which MT. Morris can so perfectly DOT tray The part of Lady Ursula will be played by Miss Frances Drake.
 The play was presented by MT. Morris and his splendid company at OBrien's op- era house some weeks ago, and proved one of the treats of the season.

A TRIO OF IMMORTALs,

The city of Raleigh has set an ex-
ample of erecting monuments to the
founders of education in North Caro-
lima that cannot be too highly COM
mended. 1t has already honored Arch
ibald d. Murphey, the originator of
the idea of public schools in this State.
and Calvin III. Wiley, who set the ma
chinery of public schools in motion by
giving their names to two modern.
handsome public buildings.
Yesterday the Raleigh School Com
mittee very appropriately resolved to
name the school building between Will
mington and Halifax, "the Bartlett
Yancey school" in honor of that pro-
gressive statesman who wrote the law
that established the first public
schools in the State, and as President
of the Senate, was largely instrument
tai in securing its passage.
This trio of immortals are thus per-
manently linked with the progressive
public schools of the States capital.
where they were leaders in the early
educational life of the State.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

In the South the observance of
Thanksgiving day has not become gen
eral. In the larger towns and cities it
is observed in part, and it is gradually
spreading to the villages and into the
country, but climatic reasons prevent
its taking the place of Christmas, as it
does in New England. There the rough
winter weather comes in December
and the feast day comes in November.
In the South, as a rule, the hard part
of winter does not come until jan
uary, and the Christmas-tide is the
best season for merry-making. There
lis another reason: The South does not
kill any hogs until the latter part of
December and the annual festival with
us must follow what has come to be
known as ''the hog killing time" The
South would, perhaps, have put the
November holiday first and New Eng
land adopted Christmas if climatic
conditions had been reversed.
There is nobody so situated who has
not much for which to be thankful
this year. Thanks to the over-ruling
Providence, a large measure of pros
perity has blessed the thrift and indus
try of man, and in most homes there
is enough bodily comfort to induce to
cheer and generous feeling. From
famine, from panic, from pestilence
and other grievous ills, this country
has been spared. The crops have
brought good returns to the husband
men and labor has formed steady en-
ployment. For these good gifts, every
one ought this day to give hearty
thanks to the Giver of all Good. The
best practical evidence that this graf
itude can take is for those who have
been bountifully supplied in store is to
give generously to the widow and the
orphan, the unfortunate and the af
fiicted, and to make glad some sorrow
ing heart.

NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
One Organized at Scotland Neck With Small
Membership
(Snecial to News and Obser,

Especial to News and Observer)
Scotland Neck, N. c., Nov. 2S.-Yester-
day a Presbyterian church was organized
here, as a result of a meeting being held
here by Rev w. T. Walker, pastor of
Nahala Presbyterian church, few miles
in the country. Mr.. Walker has been
assisted until Monday by Rev. James
Black, of Davidson. He was called away
Monday by sickness in his family and
Dr. Morton, of Rocky Mount, has been as
sisting since.
Sometime ago petition was sent by
some persons from Scotland Neck to the
Albemarle Synod asking the organization
of a church here. A commission was ap-
pointed consisting of DR. Morton, Of Rocky
Mount; DR.. l.. H. Johnson, of Tarboro
Rev. w. T. Walker and Mr.. Orren Will
liams of Tarboro That commission met
here yesterday and organized a church
with small membership.
Mr. T. H. Pritchard has purchased the
entire outfit of the Scotland Neck Shirt
Manufacturing Company, and will con-
tinue the business here, with his brother
in-law, Mr.. Peyton Anthony.

famous inventor declares he has de-

This machine is a boat that will go with

Progress has achieved wonders during

no substitute for Hostettcr's Stomach

THE TOBACCO TRUSTS GRIND.

Southern Tobacco Journal.
The estimate of the North Carolina La
Dor Commissioner, based upon reports re-
ceived from all over the State, is that the
cost of growing tobacco is 6h cents a
pound. The average price paid the farm
ers, even this year when the crop is short
and fetching more than usual, will be less
than one cent above that. Ordinarily they
barely come out even. What wonder, then
the North Carolina-and indeed all South
ern-producers of leaf tobacco are against
the trust that dominates the market
Why should they not seek means to pro-
tect themselves from manufacturing
monopoly that deprives them of a reason

BISHOP MORRISON ON EvANGEL
lists.

Sensationalism in the pulpit got a
severe reproof from Bishop Morrison,
who held the Western North Confer
ence last week and will hold the North
Carolina Conference next week. In
his address to the preachers, he said:
''You can never bring them about by
any sensational men or sensational meth
DDS of your own. / speak kindly and not
against evangelism or evangelists, but
] am here to say that more harm has
come to our church during the past ten
years on account of pulpit buffoonery and
/ may say pulpit bullyism than from any
other cause. The abuse of the ministry
to the delectation of the Goddess has been
deeply hurtful. Preachers have run af-
ter this fad too much, and have laughed
until they have come to believe the false
hoods told about the ministry to be true.
That kind of preaching is dangerous and
l thank God the thing has about run it's
course.
Neither can you bring about these
conditions by your own sensational meth
DDS. have known a preacher to adver
tise himself and have people to come out
to his performances. / have known a
preacher to advertise that he would
preach on such sensational subjects as
Looking Classes Hoofs and Horns etc.
You will never get souls saved by such
disgusting and God forsaken means
Bishop Morrison is one of the young
est i'm point of service of the Methodist
Bishops, but in wise. and timely ut
terances, he rings clear every time.
.fsy r.
as to what is 'sensationalism." Some
people call any minister who gets out
of the ruts q sensationaIist.' The
need of the hour in the pulpit is for
men who preach the gospel in vigorous
and attractive manner that attracts
the attention of men and women. The
ablest theologian living is lacking in
the first essential of ministerial use
fulness if he is dull, dry and uninter-
esting. Some evangelists have thought
buffooney and sensationalism was put
ting life and freshness into their SER
mons just as Rev. -as-Dust fears
to give utterance to vigorous and
striking statement because it sounds
sensational" 1t is the mean between
these extremes that is needed in the
pulpit-preachers who can wake up the
people without bringing the gospel
down to the level of a show.
