General Alfred Uockery.

To the Editor Last week at the com
menccment exercises of Wake Forest Col
lege, magnificent portrait Of General
Dcckery was presented to the college by
two Of his sons, Mr. H. c. DDckery Of
North Carolina, and Mr.. J. NJ Dockery
OF Tennessee. This portrait refreshed the
memories of those who knew him, in re-
gard to the remarkable life and distin-
guished service OF General Dockery.
Alfred Dockery was born in Richmond
county in the early part of the last cen
fury. He was pre-eminently a self-made
man. He never went to college, and at
tended the common schools (Which in
those days were very common) but a
short while. He was a man Of remark
able natural endowments and from his
early manhood was a close student of
public affairs.
Until the war he was an "Old Line Wing
and ardently defended the principles of his
party. He soon developed into 2 cam
paign speaker of uncommon ability, and
met in debate some of the strongest men
III the State, who found in him "a foeman
worthy of their steel" Though uneduca-
ted himself, he was full match for
whom he discussed public questions. He
was very successful politician. He rep
resented his county several times in the
Legislature, was twice elected to Con
gross, and ran for Governor against Cen
era. Bragg. Those who heard this joint
canvass, say that the debators were we'll
matched, and the debate a very remark
able one. His success. as public man
was not attained by the sacrifice of prln-
ciple. He closed a long public career with
a clean untarnishcd character. My faith
er, though differing from him politically
after the war, regarded him most highly
and spoke frequently of his honest up
right life Col. Walter L. Steele, also
OF Richmond county, and a lifelong point
cal opponent of General Dockery, said
to the writer a few years ago that he
never knew a more honest, upright pubic
man than Alfred Dockery.
Though Mr. Dockery did not enjoy the
advantages Of education himself. he was
the warm friend Of education. He was one
of the founders, and, for a number OF
years, a faithful trustee of Wake Forest
College. am told that he made the first
donation to the Manual Labor School
There were no railroads in those early
days of the college, and he drove IN a
sulky from his home in Richmond coun-
ty, to the meetings of the Board at
Wake Forest Though summers heat and
winters cold he made this long and tire
some journey.
But the crowning glory of his great life
was the fact that he was an humble,
earnest Christian. He built a little church
near his home. and was never happier
than when he met his plain country neigh
bors there where, together, they worship
ped God. But his usefulness was not con
fined to his local church. He TOOK a
lively interest in denominatlonai AFFAIRS
in the State. For ten years ne was pres.

Says Future Is
Not AIIuring
Portland Lumberman Speaks Of
Demoralized Condition Of
Present Day Market.
portland Journal)

The lumoer situation in the north
vest is not especially pleasing to the
men that receive their living from their
lumber sales, and the immediate future
is not alluring. A leading lumberman
said, yesterday, n speaking of the local
situation:
After the first of the year Portland
lumber mills will begin to again ship to
northern California points. For the last
few months we have been almost en-
tirely shut out of this market as the
rates from interior mills have allowed
them to get their product into the Cal
ifornia field much more cheaply, The
s5 rate on interior mill shipments Will
so into effect January l.. and we will
begin to get our share of trade after
that time. 1t has been very dull for the
last month in local circles,
"'fhe interior lumbermen may COM
plain, in fact, l know they already are
objeoting to Portland having the same
rate they have but they have no reason
for such complaint, If our water ship
ments give us two outlets their cheaper
logs and labor equalize this advantage,
and they should be able to compete
with us at the same shipping charge
Cars are plentiful now and shortage
was chiefly what troubled interior mills
Since we have by our campaign with
the Northern Pacific, aided in bringing
more cars into the state we have bene-
fitted interior points, for what use Is
a rate that does not become effective
because of lack of shipping facilities?
"rhe San Francisco market is en-
tirely knocked out. Last week lumber
cargoes sold at so thousand. when it
cost s5 to ship these in, Logs are
worth more than that. The interior Cal
ifornla region is our best market and
Portland lumbermen may recuperate
their losses IL given a fair chance at
this field. Our present rate is So to
Sacramento and adjacent territory, and
all other points in this territory have
to pay the local rate 10 Sacramento.

Mount Vernon, Ky, Oct. 25.-At Liv- ingston. ten miles from here, B. N. Roller. master. of trains on the Liv- ingston division of the Louisville and Nashville road, was shot and instantly killed to-day by A. H. Bentley. master mechanic of the same road. There was no witnesses to the tragedy, and the first intimation of 1t was when Bentley surrendered himself to the town mar shal. He claims self-defence.
 Bad feeling had existed between the two men for two years because of dis putes over clashes of authority. They euarreled at the pumping station this afternoon and then Bentley says he went .o the bath house some distance away. Roller followed. Bentley claims that Roller drew pistol and he took the pistol and shot Roller with it. Both men are prominent in railroad circles, and have families. Roller was shot seven times and was dead when assist ance arrived.

Life Savers Have Psriious Time Saving
 Wrecked Crew.

I -
 Highland Light, Mass, Oct 25.-Dur- ing the strength of the northeast gale last night the fishing schooner Dawson City, Captain Dennis O'Neil, bound from Gloucester on a fishing voyage, mistook her bearings and went ashore on the outer line of breakers off Race
 Point. Captain Fisher and his crew of life-savers succeeded in landing nine of the crew of eighteen in the life-saving
 boat, but in an attempt to board the
 vessel the second time for the. rest of
 her crew the boat was swamped. Cap tain Fisher was knocked overheard, but was rescued somewhat bruised, and the steering gear was carried away. For tunately the apparatus of the Humane society was near at hand and the oth- CTS of the schooner's crew were brought ashore by means of the brooches buoy. Four men who left the schooner in one of the vessels dories early in the night succeeded in making a landing at Prov incetown after considerable hardship.

 Just as the car began to descend the hill Motorman Bauray fell in faint and rolled from the platform.
 Miss Anna wertborg, the solitary passenger, saw her peril and jumped from the car, escaping with some pain- fuI bruises. The car went down the hill at a terrific speed. F
 At the foot of the hill, where there is Ia sharp curve Peter Sharp, eighteen years of age, was waiting for the car. He had not noticed that it was running away. When the car struck the curve, it jumped the track, scooping up young Sharp on the fender and crashed into Charles Hollstein's dwelling. Sharp's brains were battered out against the stone foundation. The side walls of the house were crushed in and the entire structure wrecked. Mrs. Hollstein was alone in the house at the time and es- capped without injury, climbing out through a window.

THREAT VIRGINIA BEACH.
Five Cottages Destroyod--Cou1 11agration l o. Narrowly Avertcd.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 25.--But for the heroic work of the crews from three life saving stations the entire summer resort of Virginia Beach with it's two large hotels and half a hundred or more costly homes would tonight proba- bly, be in ruins. As it is, five hand some cottages are destroyed and many thousand dollars lost with no insur- ance. 4 Early to-day E. c. Fosburgh awoke to find his house in flames. About the same time a surfman from Seatack Life Saving station gave the alarm. In scant attire the Fosburghs escaped. A northeast wind carried flaming brands to the roofs of nearby cottages. The life savers from two other stations responded. In the mean time the flames had ignited several other houses and were. rapidly eating their way to the Princess Anne hotel. A sudden shift of the wind turned the flames back upon their trail, which gave the fire fighters an opportunity to head off the conf1agration. The loss is not yet estimated but will be heavy.
