marks Of Charlton county, in the
person of Erastus Butler, has
gone from among us to that
"bourne from whence no traveller
Ereturns. At the time of his
death Tuesday, April 81, 1908, he
was probably the oldest native
resident of the county He was
born, near where Shannondale
now is, October 18, 1922, and
spent his entire life in that vi
cinity, with, perhaps, a few years
in California in the early days of
the gold excitement. We have
not the date of his marriage to
Miss Mary Jackson of Howard
county, who, with four children,
two sons and two daughters, sur
vive him. George, the eldest
son, is a merchant at Shannon
dale, a member of the firm of
Meyer & Butler. Edward has
made his home with his parents
and has for several years man
aged the large farm of his father.
Mrs. Ida Allen, a widow, lives at
Salisbury, and Mrs. Mamie
Blakey, wife of Clarence Blakey,
resides in the neighborhood of
her parents. Deceased had been
in failing health for several years
and died of old age and general
debility. He was never a MEM
Der of any church, but no man in
Charlton county was more highly
esteemed for his honesty and In
tegrity. His remains were laid
to rest in the beautiful cemetery
at Asbury chapel after appropri-
ate exercises, conducted by Rev.
Robert McIlvoy, the pastor,
large audience being in attend
ance to pay the last tribute of re-
spect to. worthy citizen. Peace
to his memory.

FOR THE kNocKER FAMILY.

To correct few false statements
that have been wilfully circulated. We
wish to announce:
First: That the highest price of the
Douglas Patent Closet is only 5000,
not the exhorbitant figure that has been
invidiously announced by the Doug
las" enemies.
Second: That the lowest price
($25.00) and the intermediate prices
ts35.00 and $4,000 do not signify in
ferior workmanship. The same parts
are used in both high and ow-down
closets, the difference in price being
only in the weight OF the bowl and in
the finish of the woodwork.
Third: That our extensive advertis-
ing has not caused raise in price of
one cent either in he price of the Doug
las or in the work necessary to install
it, For three years the prices have
been $500, $500 and $1,000 and re-
main the same today.
Fourth: Baths word and vicious
rumors are as far apart as is the
Douglas" and-the "six-nickel" kind.

He is a man of exalted personal character

some years served his state In the national
House of Representatives Not brilliant
orator as Ben Hill was. nor an engaging
mixer as Judge Crisp was, he was yet in
the political field most useful and greatly

best contributions to our public life. Re-

of sympathy with Organism. he appropri-

fruitless course. and men Of the same
stamp are coming into their own again.

the powers that made him. 1t Is recalled
by his critics that he was appointed TO MS
present place by a republican President,
and pretty broadly intimated that he Is
playing by his course for approval In that
quarter,
Mud like this never sticks. Judge Jones
took with him into the office he now holds
a personal character far above all re-
proach. and reputation for fairness In
the administration of public affairs which
had gained for him the admiration of the
people OF his state. Indeed. 1t is safe to
say that had he not been distinguished
his appointment to the judicial bench would
never for q moment have been considered
We see. then. in the fearless judge now

life has been a good citizen, and as gov

This peonage business strongly suggests
the disfranchisement business. quarter
Of a century ago, when the assertion first
attracted attention that the negro was
being robbed of his ballot by force, the
country was told that the charge was a lie.
1t was confessed that in few instances
something of the kind had occurred, but 1t
was Indignantly denied that any such thing
existed as principle or was possible. We

negro robbed of his liberty? Oh, few
cases here and there. but nothing re-

Outrages grow with toleration: and Judge
Jones and those of his neighbors and
friends who are laboring to cut up this new
slavery by the roots are performing a serv-

"Yellow" Stories in Manila,

Shanghai has long enjoyed the distinction

is sharpening his bolo and that the little
brown brother will get us If We don't watch

to one excited contemporary, all Tondo is

in like fear and trembling, and we are con-
iured into believing that it is only matter
of day or two until Manila will be known
only by charred wood and ashes and the
smell of roast pig.
