In 1886 he was elected mayor of Ma

one term. In 1852 he was married to
Miss Melissa Mckinney, a native of

His Funeral Took Place
Thursday forming at
Methodist Church.

In our last issue we announced the
death of Judge VIM NJ. Sessions, which
occurred on Tuesday night the 10th
Inst, in the 10th year of his age at his
home in this city.
His funeral took place Thursday
morning at 1920 o'clock at the Metho-
dist church. of which he was member

Rev. J M. White conducted the SER
vices delivering very touching and
impressive memorial address, in which
he spoke of the many virtues of this
consecrated Christian, as a man as
near perfect in uprightness of heart,
conduct, conversation and influence as
was Job of old. Judge Sessions life
was grand success not SO much in
accommodating gold and silver, as in
noble deeds, lofty example, train
ing of his children and family hap.

person had ever seen Judge SEES
sions mad. What wonderful record
and suparb strength of self-control.
''lIe that controlleth himself is greater

Rev. J. H. Patton of the Presby terian
church also assisted in the service.

NAMING NEW BATTLE SHIPS.
A Merry Contest Going on Among
Several States.

There is a merry contest on among sew
eral states for representation in the naval
list, growing out Of the action Of Congress
in authorizing the construction Of five more
battle ships Under the rule adopted by
the Navy Department, vessels of that class
are named in honor Of states Of the Union.
Owing to the comparatively small number
Of battle ships In the navy, 1t is apparent
that many states have so far failed of rec
ignition, and nearly all Of them are i'm
proving the present opportunity to repair
that omission.
Although not finally acted upon, II Is
understood that Secretary Moody favors
naming the new battle ships after the states
of Vermont, Minnesota, Mississippi, Kan
sas, and either Idaho, South Dakota, Utah.
or one of the Carolinas. The congressional
delegation Of New Hampshire has made
formal application on behalf Of that state,
and the only argument against com
pliance with their request lies in the fact
that the New England states already have
a larger representation in naval nomencla-
ture, proportionately, than other sections OF
the country, especially the west.

OLD AFRICAN GOLD MINES.
Evidence of Extensive Operations Car
ried on Many Years Ago.
From the Youths Companion.


Rhodesia, or British Zambesia, ranks
among the chief gold-bearing countries of
the world. The ancients mined and carried
away enormous quantities of the precious
metal but under the scientific mining sys-
TENS of the present day their operations
win be greatly surpassed. In the recently
published work on THE Ancient Ruins Of
Rhodesia," the authors, Messrs. Hall and
Neal, endeavor to discover who the ancients
were and whittier the gold went.
Perhaps Rhodesia was the ancient land Of
Ophir, the land of the mysterious King
Soomon's mines, but the theory Is strongly
combatted by some Investigators The
ancient gold workings are the basis Of mod
ern workings. For every ten square miles
OF Rhodesia there was one ancient mine
that is, there are seventy-hve thousand old
holes, which means that a stupendous
days of Cecil Rhodes. Much Of this wealth
must have gone to the north and east; 1t
was probably wrought into the crown of
the Queen OF Sheba and filled the Golfers Of
Solomon.
The ancient smelling furnaces are still
easy to recognize. They are sunk into the
floor. The furnace blowpipes are made of
the finest granite powder cement. and the
nozzles OF the blowpipes are covered with
are covered with specks Of gold. When the
first lining became worn by the heat, a fresh
lining of cement of an excellent quality
which has outlasted time, was smeared
round on top of the old lining. One can
take an old lining. slit off the layers with a
knife, and find gold splashes in abundance.
Apparently the ancients wasted gold Law.

REVISING INSTRUCTIONS.
New Registry System for the Rural
Free Delivery Service.

The clerks in the office Of the third assist
ant postmaster general are making final
revision of the book Of instructions which
is to be issued by the department to rural
free delivery carriers and other persons
connected with the service regarding the
new system of registering letters and par
GELS that has been ordered for this particu-
lar branch Of the service.
AS has been stated before, the department
has devised a system whereby 1t becomes
unnecessary for the person desiring to reg
lister letter or parcel by rural carrier to
meet the carrier in person and present the
letter By means of the system now In
by simply dropping the letter in the box
with the requisite number of stamps, and
the carrier leaves his receipt in the box.
In the operation of such a system there
would naturally arise questions of admins
tration which could not properly be decided
by the carriers themselves. To provide for
all contingencies, the department has there
fore prepared book of instructions, ana
the book has been carefully read and re-
vised by the clerks of the office OF the third
assistant postmaster general In order that
there shall be no disputed question after Its
issue The final reading is being done now,
and it Is expected that within a few days
the proofs of the book will be returned to
the printer for final compilation. The book
to be issued by the department Will be or
size convenient for carrying In the pocket,
and each person connected with the delivery
'of mail through the rural service will be
supplied with one.

titles in the form of pellets as large as
buckshot in the vicinity of the furnaces.
and also thrown away on the debris heaps
outside of the old buildings
The tools of the ancient workers which
have so far been discovered include a small
soapstone hammer and furnishing stones of
waterworn rock, to which gold still ad-
heres. There are evidences that the
ancients carried on extensive industry
in the manufacture Of gold ornaments and
utensils. Thirty-five thousand dollars worth
of gold ornaments have been taken In the
last five years from the ruins Of Matabele-
land alone.

THE OLDEST RAILROAD.
It is Little One, is in England, and
Was Incorporated In 1919.

Was Incorporated in 1919.
From the Railroad Gazette.
The traveller who leaves Plymouth for
London by the Great Western railway Will
notice when he has proceeded two and
three-quarter miles and is passing the 24hh
milepost from Paddington that the train
crosses single line Of railroad almost at q
right angle on the level. To 1t Immediately
succeeds an overbridge, and then, on the
left hand or "off" side may be seen the SIN
gle line in question, laid upon rough stone
blocks, but presenting decidedly out-of-
date appearance. Perchance train OF four
or five little trucks loaded with square
Jumps Of china clay and drawn by couple
of horses may be seen, but in half a mile
the old line trends away northward and is
lost sight of. 1t belongs to the Oldest rail-
road company in the world.
The Plymouth and Dartmouth railway
was Incorporated on July 2, 1919, for max
ing and maintaining a tramroad or iron
railway for the passage OF wagons and
other carriages from Crabtree to near the
prisons of war on Dartmoor. These prisons
had been erected about ten years before, on
the loneliest and widest tract of land that
could be found to accommodate the French
prisoners of war who inconyeniently crowd
ed Plymouth sound in hulks The protector
of the line, however, Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt,
had great idea that Dartmoor was capa-
BILE of cultivation.
The Plymouth and Dartmoor Railway
Company was dissolved. and reincorporated
by an act of 1865 for the purpose of bring
ing 1t under the provisions OF modern acts
as to using steam power, etc. The old rates
were revised and power taken to carry pas
sengers. 1t then owned $4,000 to the mort
gagees Messrs. Johnson, who released IL on
being paid in shares The company has
since constructed some local lines near
Plymouth, which are worked by the Great
Western and the London and Southwestern;
in fact, 1t is virtually joint line now.
Still. though it owns no rolling stock, 1t
has nominally an independent existence,
rece it's rents, maintains London office,
and may undoubtedly be considered the
oldest railway company in the world.
