He had been afflicted from CHILDHOOD.
which prevented him from entering and
engaging into the active persuits of life,
but he was not idle. FOR he was a close
student and an analytical reader. his
mind was cultured and well stored With
the standard literature or the best au-
thors. both in prose and poetry. II" was
well informed on all subjects. but no
cxcelled as n Biblical scholar. his re-
searches OF the Scriptures and tho side
lights thereon were far reaching, his
analytical mind had 10 prove all things.

His Biblical lectures were very instruc-
tive and did great good in the COM

a cultured Christian gentleman, in the
zenith OF his usefulness has lain down
to rest in dreamless sleep in the land
of tho blessed there to awake on the
resurrection morn. He was educated at
Airy Grove and Fairfield Academies. in
Lenoir county, and the famous Saml
Hughes school, in Orange county. n. G.,

Low A.. Mcwborne stood for indcpend-
cncc regardless of personal ends and
had the courage of his honest conyic-
tions. he stood for philanthrophy and FOR
absolute honor and Christian integrity.
Out into the cold world. his words Of
consolation have gone to warm into life
the disconsolatc and the weak and
weary spirits. AS his ncighbors and
church mourn for the leadership OF his
thought, the poor grove at the loss OF
his sympathy and help.
Scared for four months with intense
pain, he battled against pressing suffer
ing with Christian fortitudc, and died a
Christian hero. Before his spirit fed and
in bidding this writer a farcwoll forever.
he said: 4 do not fear to die. I know
that my Redccmcr Iivcth. and why should
! fear to die; have / not taught all Of
my life that there is a better land than
this? and | wish to 90 there.
Il regret leaving family and friends.
and am better fitted to DO much good II
spared, but if it is Gods will for me TO
die. | am ready"
Tender hearts and loving hands and
kind neighbors soothed his weary pill
Grimage to the grace.
"Grieye not, widow. children, friends
do not weep.
Your God hath given your beloved sleep.
Sweet restful sleep. and he shall wake
TO wear
The crown he won whilst walking with
you here.
An blissful sleep, from which the righto-
Gus rise:
All blessed truth, the good man never
dies"
Blessed arc the pcaccnakcrs: for they
shall be called the children Of God"

PRINCE WILL BE CLOSELY
GUARDED EVERY MOMENT OF
HIS STAY.

I Washington. Jan. 2e.-Chief WilAie
OF the United States secret service, in
conjunction with the committee which
has in charge the arrangements for the
reception of Prince Henry of Prussia,
has about completed elaborate plans
for the protection Of the distinguished
guest of the government.
Detectives will guard the prince every
moment he is in this country. Mr..
Wilkie is concerned about the safety Of
the prince in the West He has received
information from Chicago and ST. Louis
which has been extremely disquieting
regarding the unrest among the an
archists. Mr.. WNkie says that it
would be the most unfortunate thing
that could happen If harm should come
to the prince while guest of the ma
ton. Keeping this in mind, Mr.. Willkie
and Gen. Corbin. to whom Assistant
Secretary of State Hill and Admiral
Evans have left the plans for the
Protection of the Prince,
have worked out plan whereby it is
believed it will be impossible for any
one. with wicked intent, to approach the
prince. While it is intended that the
residents of the various cities which he
will visit will be permitted to see him,
1t has been decided that he will not fol-
low the American custom of shaking
hands. This will avoid the necessity OF
strangers coming up close to the prince.
The entire trip through the country
will be made by special train. In every
car of the train there will be two
secret service detectives. At each city
through which The prince passes there
will be detectives stationed, who will
scan closely the members of the crowds
gathered in the railway stations to see
the special train and its occupant.
During the time the prince is receiving
the representatives Of cities the Of
fcers will form a complete circle about
him and his suite. and no one will be
allowed to approach him who is not
known.
