Especial Correspondence.)

Columbus Dec. 14.-Colonel @. @.
Ames, Inspector General on the staff
of Major General Chas. Dick, of the
Ohio National Guard, has forwarded
his annual report to General Dick. 1t
contains many recommendations for
the Improvement of the Guard.
He recommends that the organiza-
ton be made to conform to the regula-
tions of the regular army; that signal,
staff and hospital officers be appoint
ed and not detailed as now; that the
signal corps be abolished and that two
signal companies, one for each brigade,
be formed; that regimental inspectors
Of small arms be abolished and that an
inspector general be appointed with
the rank of colonel; that the grade
of battalion adjutant be raised to that
of first lieutenant; that deficiency
stoned officers have longer terms, and
that field officers be elected by company
officers, that the regular army pay
be allowed officers when on duty; that
division or brigade encampments be
held and that khaki uniforms be sup
piled.
Chief Clerk German, Of the Office of
the Auditor of State has prepared Il
list of the appropriations which the
Legislature will be asked to grant for
the various state departments and
state institutions during the next two
years. The appropriations asked for
1902 foot up to $66S0, ,84O.S6, as COM
pared with $5,284 ,S34.56 for 1900.
The sum asked for 1908 is So, 115 1885,.
80, as compared with $4,790,333, for
1901.
The commission to investigate the
question of convict labor has made a
report to Governor Nash. The COM
mission finds that the law providing
that not more than ten per cent. of
the number Of free laborers employed
in any industry shall he employed In
the same business as convicts Is being
violated and urges that the statute ne
enforced. The report recommends
that machinery he removed from the
Ohio penitentiary and that the con-
victs be required to make everything
by hand.

Death of Miss Annie Sneed.

Miss Annie Sneed, who made her home
with her aunt the iat- Mrs E. II Scales,
died OF pneumonia las, Friday evening,
within three days after the death of her
aunt They were both taken i'll on the
same dav Miss Snp-d WAS de ply de-
voted to lis Scales and had Offen ex-
pressed "a wish to live no longer than her
aunt The funeral was held from 81.
Rarnabas Episcopal church, of which he
decreased was faithful member, Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock The service was
conducted by the rector Rev. Horace
W. -k~ Jones. -Gr--nsborn Patriot.
The above announcement will carry
sorrow to the hearts of many persons
in this community. Miss Sneed was
native of this county, daughter of
the late w. b. G. Sneed who lived
near Middleburg. After the death OF
her father few years ago she went
to Greensboro where she had since
made her home with her aunt Mrs.
Scales, whose death was announced
in these columns last week.
The death OF these two ladies was
as singular as it was sad. Miss Sneed
had often expressed desire not to
outlive her aunt Both were taken
sick the same day, and when Mrs.
Scales died Miss Sneed's condition
was such that she could not be in
formed of the fact. She survived but
three DAYS and followed her devoted
aunt into the other world not know
ing that she had preceded her.

A YOUTHFUL HERO.
Stood His Ground Behind A Runaway
Team When All but Him Had Fled.

Near Fanlkner's mill Monday a
pair of mules belonging To Mr.. G-nie
Faulkner ran away AZ result OF one
front wheel OF the wagon coming off.
As that side of the wagon dropped TO
the ground the driver. . negro man,
was thrown out, and the mules start
ed to run. Mr. FaElkuer's little
thrce-year-old son wa, in the wagon
at the time a. was also Mr.. Plummer
Rowland. but thinking only of self
and safety the latter was not long in
getting ont leaving the chilli as the
sole occupant of the vehicle. I'm
mindful of danger the little fellow
grabbed one of the lines and held on
to il the other having become en-
tangled in the wheel and broken
dnubtles. having been carried out by
the driver when he fell. The mules
ran about fonr hundred yards when
they were stopped by colored wo-
man at the mill who ran out in the
road in front of them. When they
came TO standstill the plncky little
fellow still holding to the line calm
~ said he stopped 'em. and he firmly
believes he did. That hoy has in
him the stuff of which heroes are
made.

WE REGRET TO LOSE THEM.
Col. and Mrs. VIM. II s. Burgwyn to
Make Weldon Their Home la the

future.
1t is indeed with sincere regret that
we lose Col. and Mrs. Burgwyn as
citizens OF Henderson. They will
make Weldon their future home and
Col. Burgwyn will establish q national
bank there. Fortunate is that place
and people in a double sense. and
heartily to he congratulated upon the
acquisition of such citizens and the
gaining of such financial enterprise.
Col. Bnrgwyn came to Henderson
in 1882 and started 4 bank, the first
one ever opened here. With his bus
mess career as banker AMI msnufac-
turer. his agricultural and other in
terests our people are familiar. He
spent his money freely and did a
great deal for the community. No
town ever had more loval citizen.
no State a more patriotic son. He
loved Henderson, and was devoted to
it's every interest and always had at
heart its highest welfare. 1t was here
that the best years OF his life were
spent and We are assured that it is
with regret for many reasons that he
makes his home elsewhere. But bus
mess reasons prompted it. A better
opening seemed to offer itself else
where And that he has selected the
best place in the State for the bank,
and location affording great posi-
bilities for the future we may not
doubt.
So well and widely known is Col
Burgwyn, and so highly regarded and
popularity esteemed. it would be a
work of approximation to speak OF
his sterling qualities of manhood, his
fine business capacity. his erudition
and accomplishments intellectually
and socially.
Mrs. Burgwvn is a most excellent
woman, aminble and accomplished.
and greatly loved by all who know
her. Perhaps no more popular woman
ever lived in town. People of every
age aud station feel sense of per-
-onal loss at the going away of this
good lady and their blessings and
