Death of Mr.. David w. Allen,

Especial to News and Observer
Forestville, N. c., April 15.-David W.
Allen, one of Forestville's most useful and
beloved citizens is dead. He passed
away yesterday afternoon just eight
years to the very day and almost to the
very hour, subsequent to the death OF
his beloved wife. His death was the re-
suit of heart trouble from which he has
suffered for over year. His death,
however, had been expected for several
days before the end came.
Mr.. Allen was born in the city of Raj
eigh, December q, 1924. He was, there
fore, in his 18th year. Shortly prior 10
the civil war he moved to Forestville,
where he lived, with the exception OF
short while during the war spent in Raj
eigh, until his death. During his earlier
years he was tailor by trade but sub
sequently he became successful mer-
chant and farmer.
He was twice married: First, TO LII
cinda Parham of Raleigh, who died in
1866, and again in 1868 to Mary Hicks, OF
Forestville, who died in 1898. The chill
dren who survice him by his first wife
are: j. Allen, of Raleigh, engineer on the
Seaboard Air Line; Mrs. E. G. Fort, OF
Forestville; ID. H. Allen, of Raleigh, with
the firm of Dunn & Hunter; and Edwin
Allen, merchant of Wake Forest. His
only son by his second wife is Junius L.
Allen, station agent at Forestville.
David w Allen was a man whom to
know was to love. Of strong, sterling
character, yet he was as tender and re-
sponsive as a child and as sympathetic
as a woman. He was very religious ana
always ready, in season and out OF sea-
son, to talk about the things pertaining
to the Masters kingdom. de was one OIL
the main pillars of the little Baptlst
church at Forestville, of which ne mas
been a member for over forty years. his
heart and purse were always open 70
every good cause To him faith IN all
things high came easy. He believed IN
his fellow men and they loved him.
He was what is commonly known as a
self-made man. His whole life was a
victory of the spirit over the flesh, and
when finally the end came, surrounded
by his Borrowing children and
grandchildren, he approached his
grave las one who wraps the drapery of
his couch about him and lies down to
pleasant dreams
This afternoon they took him to the
church, and Prof. W. B. Royal, who has
served the church practically during his
entire ministerial life, talked to the little
flock about their great loss and OF the
hope beyond the grave. Then they bore
him to the pretty little grave yard be-
hind the church, and amid tears and
flowers, laid him gently away beside his
wife. The children and friends scattered
to their homes and great gloom settled
down over old Forestville.

Opinion Wanted as to Certain Thingsin Mach

Many perplexing questions are being
Gsked Treasurer Lacy about the Ma
shinery Act and the Revenue Act passed
~ the Legislature Of 1901 number
or these questions have been submitted
to Attorney General Gilmer for his opln-
ion. The latest question is this: Are
book agents liable to tax OF $50 ~
each county?" If the Attorney General
decides that they are peddlers on foot,
the tax will be 500, and If a vehicle is
used it will be $50.
Here are some other questions that
the public are inquiring about, and on
which rulings will have to be made:
Are drummers, who go to a place,
open their goods and sell from sample,
liable for peddIers' taxi
What is the machinery for selling
What is the proper time to list mer-
chants purchase tax"
This last question. is troublesome
one, as the machinery act was not rati-

listing to be done during the first tea
days in January.
Attorney General Gilmer's opinions in
these matters is awaited with interest.

HOW RICHMOND WON.
Four Runs on Errorr Not Single Earned
Run. Excellent Playing.
Especial to News and observer

Especial to News and Observer
Richmond, Va, April 16.-The Richmond
team outplayed Wilmington, and before a
crowd of nearly one thousand enthusiasts
defeated the visitors by the score of to
o. Both pitchers did good work, but the
almost perfect work of the Richmond
team is what caused Wilmington's de-
feat.
Four of the runs were made through
the assistance of errors, and there was
but single earned run. Ten hits were
made, but the hits when not scattered
were interfered with by the visitors, SO
that no valuable result followed. Hook
er was touched for six hits but they
were widely scattered except in the fifth
inning, when both Foreman and Warren
hit for singles. Excellent playing by
Richmond, however, prevented run.
In but one instance did giant from
North Carolina reach third base. That
was in the first when. after Warren had
been retired on fly ball to Saffle, CFen-
ston was given his base on balls; he
stole second and went to third on Crock
cts out at first. Then Stafford went out
to Hooker.

A Sudden Death.

Miss Bertha Ogden living about
five miles northwest OF town died sud
denly Monday. She commenced
complaining Sunday morning and
did not feel well all day but when she
got up Monday morning she felt better
and ate breakfast as usual. About
the middle of the forenoon she grew
worse and Dr. Shadwick was sent for
but before he arrived she was dead.
Judging from symptoms DR.. Shadwick
thinks it must have been Cerebro
Spinal Fever. The funeral Twas
held Tuesday from the house at
four O'Clock, Rev. Hankins officiating
assisted by Rev. Leonard.
A particularly sad feature of the
case is that Mrs. Ogden who has been
sick here in town since last October
went home Monday for the first time
and was there only half hour before
her daughter died, Being in such
delicate health the sudden shock pros
trated her and she is in very critical
condition,

Bourbon County Oil.

Kansas may not have as strong oil
wells as some other states but from
the way reports keep coming from
different sections she will soon have
enough of them to make q very respec-

of the latest strike:

THE first furry of excitement hav.
ing died away the real facts of the oil

seem to indicate the presence of oil in
some quantity on the farm of II.
Bettis, two miles south of town.
"NOtwithstand.ng some discourage
ments from outsiders, Mr. Belts has
succeeded in interesting capital in
the enterprise, and prospecting will
begin in a short time to ascertain the
quantity aud quality of the oil.
at is reported on good authority
the presence of oil has been observed
in the same place for the last seven
years, which discourages the insinua-
tion that the grouud may have been
sailed" 1t is also said that one
well on the Belts farm is so charged
with oil that a garment dipped in the
water becomes so full of oil that it
will burn like a candle.

mined to test the locality thoroughly"
