IN MEMORIAM.
William Graham Quakenbush.

To write of one whose life has been
spent in the quiet hum of the school room
and to picture his life and character as 1t
is writ upon the hearts and character of
those with whom we come in contact, is
labor of love in this instance, most
difficult to perform in a manner at all
adequate to the subject of this sketch.
William Graham Quakenbush was born
December IL. 1S49 on a farm in Orange
county, where he lived until he entered
Bingham's School in his teens. When
he was twelve years of age he suffered
an accident that caused him the loss of
his right leg, very close to the hip. The
surgical operation was far from perfect,
and resulted in periodic trouble because
of exposed nerves.
Entering Bingham's School, his abil-
ity was readily recognized by the elder
Bingham, who loaned him the means, in
part, for the continuance of his studies
at Bingham's and at the University of
Virginia, (the doris of our own UnVer-
sity being closed). Returning to Bing-
hams School, he taught in the faculty
for few years, and in 1879 came to
Laurinburg and became principal of the
Laurinburg High School, which position
he held until the year 1900-just twenty
one years. In December 1882, he married
Miss Katie McBryde, daughter of Rev
d. d. McBryde, daughter of Rev. u. d.
McBryde, d. D., of Cumberland county
In 1884 their little child died to be fol-
lowed in a few weeks by its mother.
on Monday last the silent boatman"
dipped his oar and soon reunited It, Such
in brief is tho outltnp Of a life less than
three score but great In deeds that will
live as long as memory shall last. In
the school room he followed a system,
if system it could be called all his own.
No conventional rules or methods of
teaching ever hampered him. He rose
above rules, above methods and even
above system He was greater than
these. He improved next to no restric-
tions upon his pupils and yet there was
not one of them but knew that he was
bound by limits laid down by good COM
mon sense, beyond which he must not go
There was not one of them but knew
that his tasks must be performed, or he
would be called upon to render an ac-
count In the teaching of Latin, that
most difficult study for most beginners,
he was thorough indeed and l venture
the assertion that not one of his pupils
with fair habits of study, passed through
etymology in Latin under his tuition, but
that a foundation was laid for the study
of that language which made it possible
for the pupil to outstrip his fellows who
were less fortunate. In mathematics. he
was bold and original In his methods Of
instruction. 1t mattered little with him

ARE METHODIST PREACHERS
ENTITLED TO VOTE?

When Major Moody was alive it was
wen known that the contest he was MAX
irg was not warranted, but he was act
uated by a desire to secure seat in
congress and success in the contest was
his incentive. When he died it was everv-
where supposed that of course the con-
test would end, but the clientIess attor-
Eeys are continuing it with great partisan
zeal To show the extent to which these
cllentless lawyers are going the Ashe-
vile Citizen quotes Mr.. Settle as raising
the question as to the right of Rev. A.
w. Piyler, a Methodist minister. to vote
He had paid his poll-tax in Eastern
North Carolina and has always resided
in North Carolina. He belongs to the
itinerant ministry. Here is what Mr..
Settle said:
Residence under the law of North
Carolina in order to qualify any one as
voter is required to be a fixed and
local habitation. 1t shall also be re-
quired that it shall be the intention
of the voter to make that place his home.
The evidence showing that Mr.. Plyler
was a minister of the Methodist confer
ence, it is a matter of common knowl-
edge that his home is subject, not to
his will. but to the will of the confer
ence. He must change his home when
and to whatever place the conference di-
reefs. This conference, l believe, meets
annually. The query is, whether he can,
under the law. acquire a residence, I'M
der the law of North Carolina govern
ing elections. Is he in the same posi-
ton as officers and men in the United
States army; if not, what position does
he occupy under our State constitutional
amendment and election law"
1t is rather a late day to be raising that
question: and the fact that it has been
raised in this contest, indicates that the
clentless lawyers feel that they have
desperate case and must resort TO
new causes to disfranchise white voters,
and the very best white voters at that.
For an hundred years Methodist timer
ant preachers have been voting without
question and it must be a bad cause
that at this late hour seeks to disfrau-
chise them.

and wise campaign. In Tarboro they lost
and the dispensary there is to be re-
placed by saloons. The dispensary in
Tarboro never had fair chance because
there were licensed saloons in the coun-
try districts. But, even with that and
the over-confidence, the vote was so close
that the victory for saloons is understood
to be but temporary. Even if that were
not true. the agitation has done good and
the strongest advocates of saloons have
been forced to take ground against the
multiplying saloons and in favor of
measures restricting their evil influences.
There is a battle royal in Wilson,
where a vote will be taken in April.
The aWtts bill provide sthe machinery
for elections either on dispensaries or pro-
hibttion, but that does not go into effect
until July. We may look for a warm
campaign in July. August, September
and October in many towns and cities in
the State, having in view the closing up
of the saloons, by prohibition in the
smaller towns and dispensary in a larger
towns. 1t is in these elections that the
temperance peopel must make themselves
felt.
The forward step taken by the Watts
bill will need a vigorous, healthy
and determined public sentiment to make
it effective. The same thing is
true of all prohibition and dispensary
laws already enacted, and those to be
voted by the people of the various towns.
The temperance sentiment of the State
has no time to pause and indulge in self
congratulation upon any step forward
until the saloons have been driven out
of every town in the State where possible
If impossible in any city then it must
continue the agitation until all saloons
shall be required to open not sooner than
daylight and close not later than sunset
To the accomplishment of those results
the militant temperance forces must hear
and head the command Of Moses THAT
they go forward"

USED HIS OFFICIAL POSITION TO
BORROW MONEY.

The causes which led to the appoint
ment of Major William Plfmley, as AS
sistant United States Treasurer, and the
withdrawal of his name after it had been
sent to the Senate, ought to teach a les
son that is greatly needed. 1t seems that
Major Plimley owed his original appoint
ment to the recommendations of inhuen-
tial bankers in New York city 1t came
out in the investigation by the Finance
Committee that Major Plimley had Sc
cured loans from certain banks in re-
turn for favors he had done them in his
official capacity. Even after this was
established, the President insisted upon
the confirmation of Major Plimley. but
the Finance Committee wisely would net
the objectionable name and recommend
a man who did not use his official pull
and the exercise of political favoritism
to secure personal loans to himself
There has been more of that sort of
thing than is generally known. When
the Democrats carried Wisconsin in 1890
they found that the State Treasurer had
lent the States money to certain banks
which had paid sums aggregating over a
quarter of a million dollars in interest
for the use of the States funds, and that
the State Treasurer had kept all these
amounts paid in interest for his own
personal account. 1t is commonly talked
in most great cities that the City
Treasurers get rich by loaning the money
in their hands to banks and receiving
large sums for the favors shown.
The Senate Finance Committee has
shown wisdom in its determination not
to confirm a man Assistant Treasurer who
borrows money from banks recommend
ing his appointment, in return for
official favors Government by banks
would be bad enough, but government By
a few banks, which could buy the right to
rule by lending money to public officials
would strike at the very base of conf
dence in the integrity of the financial
department of the government.
