A Strong Financial Insti-
tuition.

The Bank Of Rutherfordton was estab-
hshed in 1890. Its capital stock is $10,
10000 and its surplus 100000 The Presi-
dent IS d. f. Morrow; the Acting Cashier
is j. W. Dorsey. and the Bookkeeper is
ID. r.. Morrow. The bank is the State
and county depository.
From the very beginning the business
of the bank has been most satisfactory
in every respect, and the growth during
these twelve years since its establishment
has been steady and very encouraging.
In 1901 Mr.. Morrow established the
Bank of Backsburg, S. c., Of which he
is president. He is also president of tue
Rutherfordton Bonding Warehouse Com
pany. AS he is easily one of the leading
men as well in politics as in business in
the State, a brief sketch of his life is
herewith given:
d. F. Morrow was born in Rutherford
county, N. c., October 14th, 1856.
He is the son of the late Capt N Fl.
Morrow, of Rutherford county, N. c.,
one of its best and most progressive
farmers.
Young Morrow was determined to have
an education. Books were scarce in the
country at that time, but by chance it so
happened that he borrowed a book from
an old country farmer. 1t was the life
of DR.. Franklin.
Notwithstanding all the great struggle
young Morrow had to go through with on
account of debt arising from having to
pay for tuition. books, ETC., he managed
to save small sum of money, said to
have been less than $4,000, and with this
small capital he embarked in the mer-

large lumber plant and several other in
dustries. He is also receiver of the Caro-
lima Northern Railroad and several other
large corporations in connection there
with. There is perhaps not a better
known business man in North Carolina
than Mr.. Edwards, and he is easily one
of the foremost financiers of the South.
Mr.. S. p. Hatch, the cashier,> is also
native of North Carolina, born in Chatham
county. of good old Chatham stock, be-
ing the son of William H. Hatch, who
for some thirty years was chairman of
the Board of County Commissioners and
Register of Deeds of the county Like
the president, Mr. Hatch engaged with
the Seaboard Air Line in the railroad
business when quite young, filling several
important positions with the company.
Up to the time of engaging in the bank
ing business some five years ago, Mr..
Hatch was agent for the S. A. L. at
Sanford. He is a very fine business man
and is regarded as one of the best bank
men in the State
Both as railroad man and banker Mr.
Hatchs uncommon ability has always
commanded respect and admiration, and
his popularity is attested by a host of
friends all over his section OF the State,
both in business and socially.

Cornelius Forgiven for His Marriage
With Miss Wilson.

A dispatch to the New York World from
Newport last night says: Cornelius Van
derbilt has been forgiven and peace has
settled upon the Vanderbilt family for the
first time in seven years-ever since he
married Miss Grace Wilson in defiance OF
his fathers commands.
1t is said on excellent authority that when
Cornelius Vanderbilt and his wife return
from Europe they will come to Newport as
the guests of his mother at the Breakers.
and series of magnificent entertainments
will mark the reconciliation.
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, Cornelius
younger brother, is credited with bringing
about the result, and 1t Is said that he has
labored increasingly to that end for years.
That which paved the way more than
anything else was the dangerous illness OF
Cornelius last January, when he was near
to deaths door for weeks from typhoid
fever. For a long time there was little
chance that the young man would survive,
and this more than anything else brought
mother and son together.
Few family quarres have SO interested
people in society as this one. not because of
the social prominence and wealth of those
concerned but because Of the facts in the
case
Cornelius had been trained by his father
with the expectation that he would inherit
the bulk of the Vanderbilt wealth. 1t has
been the rule among the Vanderbilts to
by giving him the most of the riches. Cor
nelius fell in love with Miss Grace Wilson.
His father was bitterly opposed to the
match. and the most earnest pleadings OF
the young man could not move him.
1t was at stormy interview between
father and son, in which Mr.. Vanderbilt
threatened to disinherit his boy If he did
not give up Miss Wilson, and the young
man persisted in making her his wife, that
the father was stricken with paralysis. He
never recovered from the stroke, and much
her son was due to the belief that his dis
obedience was the cause of her husbands
fatal illness.
Since that time until recently there was
no direct communication between mother
and son. although Mrs. Vanderbilt did call
at the young mans home when he was
feared to be dying.
The engagement OF Miss Wilson ana Mr..
Vanderbilt was announced few days be-
fore the day set for the wedding, in July,
1896. but the Illness of the young man post
elder Vanderbilts death 1t was found that
he had cut off Cornelius with $500, 800 in
cash and a trust fund of 81 .OOO. 600, while to
Alfred Gwynne, the second son. was given
nearly $5OOO0.O0O. Cornelius forced a set
tlement which gave him $1,000, 600 In addI-
ton to the amount named in the will.
Young Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt has been
prominent socially since her marriage. She
and her husband are popular, and the VAN
derbilt feud resulted In many strange an
noyances in society. Therefore the rejoic-
Newport Is delighted to know that for the
first time in years the elder Mrs. Vanderbilt
Is to lay aside mourning and entertain as
she did long ago.

lowing dispatch this morning:
Ell RENO. Okla, July 14.-Lieut. Gen.

hours and twenty-five minutes.
On the trip the general had nine mounts.
Capt. Sayre of the Sth Cavalry made the

the party. He wore dark trousers and can
vas leggins. light blue shirt and white he'll
met. AS he dismounted he remarked:
II enjoyed every moment of the trip.
There was one time 1 felt particularly good.
That was when 1 came up to the men who
had charge Of the pack teams. just south OF
the Canadian river. They had luncheon
ready, and 1 enjoyed it with them. It made
me feel extra good"
The general showed no signs Of even be-
ing tired. Deducting the twenty minutes
spent at luncheon and the time consumed
in making the remounts, the ride was made
in eight hours Gen. Miles weighs 27
pounds.

company playing Uncle Toms Cabin
struck a snag in Worcester county, where
1t was billed to give performances in Berlin
and Snow Hill. License granted for
both places, but such protest was madc
that the license was revoked.
The reason assigned for the revocation
was that the recent outrage and lynchins
Of a negro in Delaware had greatly infiam-
ed the people Of the entire peninsula OF
the eastern shore. and it would not con-
tribute to the peace and good order of the
Maryland counties. where the negro pop
uIations are so large, to permit the presen-
tation Of such a play as Uncle Tom s
Cabin at this time. 1t was stated that a
