a KING IN HORSE FLESH.
ROBERT MEDIUM DIES IN OIL
AGE,

AGE.
Robert Medium, the most noted
thoroughbred horse in North Carolina.
died yesterday morning ut the home
OF his owner, DIR. James Mckee.
a king in horse fiesh-the celebrated
animal-was given Il burial in keeping
with his standing. ~ grave was dug
for him and he was placed under the
sod with gentle and loving care
The game stallion, who was the sire
Of more splendid horses than any ami
NAL in North Carolina. was % years Of
age when death removed him. In more
ways than one he was famous
horse. In addition to being the best
known horse in North Carolina he was
the first standard and registered trot-
ter ever brought to the State Again,
he was he first to break the 2:30 record
In the State. This feat he performed
in Goldsboro In 1883.
There was no better bred horse in
North Carolina than Robert Medium.
AS evidence of this fact 1t is only
necessary TO state that Nancy Hanks
was his half sister. He was sired by
Happy Medium. the sire of Nancy
Hanks. His dam was Sallie by Trix.
Robert Medium was foaled at Cedar
Park Stud, near Philadelphia, in 1878.
He and his mother. Sallie. were pur-
cIuSeu Dy LIT. w. j. hawkins at Phil
adelphia in 1873. The mare and the
young colt started for Ridgeway, but
the mother injured herself aboard her
car While frightened, and lock-jaw set
In. She was taken off at Baltimore
and died. The colt was shipped to DR..
Hawkins at Ridgeway in q crate It
was necessary to raise him off a bot
tic, and DIR. Mckee attributes his do
cility to this fact. There never was q
horse with Il gentler disposition than
Robert Medium and none more kindly
disposed to people, and especially to
children.
Robert Medium was the sire of more
generally useful horses than any well
bred animal in the State. A number
of his colts have fast records. One of
these beat 2:19 In New York several
years ago. His best offerings have been
cracker-jack roadsters.
DIR. Mckee was very much attached
to Robert, and he laments the loss OF
the fine animal. Though Robert has
virtually been a pensioncr for years
past he has received the best of at
tention and treatment from his owner
There has been a remarka BILE fatality
In DIR. McKee's fine stable of horses
during the past year. Electra, one OF
the best blooded horses in the State
who attained the fine old age of &C
years, died less than n year ago. Her
demise was followed quickly by the
death of st Elmo, another splendid
horse in DR.. McKee'S stables.

Songs sung with dear ones when they

Faint music waited from the other

Familiar songs from lips I've kissed

Hear them. my soul. Hear mingling

Kind words or comfort to the sore

Those tones OF mercy in the Master's

Come unto Me, and I will give rest /"

THE plan is to organize every town
ship and county in the bright tobacco
district, and to get every tobacco
grower in the territory an active, en-
thusiastic member. In territory that
has been partially organized we ask
that thorough organization be pushed
to completion. In counties where there
has been no organization we ask that
the tobacco growers call n convention
and organize under the plan. adopted
by the state Association. Put organ
izers in the field and cease not until
every township is thoroughly organized.

some may think. for there Will be will
