Judge KEENAN, then asked whether
any member had anything to say be-
fore the vote was taken. Judge
James H. Moore arose and amid a ST.
lence broken only by his voice pre-
scented one of the most touching and
eloquent eulogies ever heard in the
courtroom. Judge Moore was close
to Colonel Winston during the lat
ter's life and was we'll able to speak
feelingly of his deceased friend. Both
men were southerners and had a love
for the sunny south. In part Judge
Moore said:
Judge Moore's Eulogy.
May it please your honors and
brethren of the bar: ] can not but
observe how much more eloquently
and efficiently and acceptably Colonel
Winston might have spoken on this
occasion for himself I mean, he
might have prepared an Grafton COW
ering his life, his convictions, his
aspirations and his achievements, and
left it for one of us to deliver 1t
would have pointed the moral of his
life's experiences, and would have
been his parting word and benedic-
ton to us. Most funeral discourses
are cold and formal, and contain
about the last things the absent
brother would have expected or de-
sired said of him. A useful society
could be formed the condition of
membership to which should be, that
each prepare and leave an Grafton on
his life, to be read as part Of such
exercises as we are holding today.
Native of the South.
Patrick Henry Winston was the
most unique and original character
in our social and professional life.
lie was a native Of North Carolina,
was born and grew to manhood under
the slave regime and was intensely
southern. He never tired of painting
word pictures of the south, as it was
in his boyhood. and of telling anec-
dotes illustrative of it's many charm
ing features, and unusual and re-
markable personages. He would have
been happy TO have returned to North
Carolina and to have spent the last

to consider such matters, but there
are many among US whose local at

that they were far happier had they
never been transplanted. Winston's
was such a nature, his was such a
love Of early home. This is patriot

Patrick Henry Winston was n re-
markable man. He had that divine

was a genius. That peculiar mental

THE HOUR AND THE MAN.

Not for several campaigns
has the outlook for success for
Democratic principles in a
National contest been as en-
couraging as it is this year.
The record of the present Nat
tional Administration has been
such as to turn from the sup
port of the National Republican
party as now managed, thou
sands or the better thinking
class of Republicans, and to
nerve to renewed effort Demo
Gratis everywhere, that the un-
American dynasty may be
overthrown. The conservative
press of the country of Repub-
lican proclivities does not look
with favor upon the course of
the men who are now shaping
that party's affairs, and claim is
made with good foundation
that the principles under which
that party was founded have
been lost sight of in the rush
for qualification of personal
ambition. 1t is torn by dis
sensions so that its ablest lead
ers are at loggerheads.
The opportunity for Democ-
racy and the people is there
fore here and must be grasped.
To grasp it effectually there
must be nominated for Presi-
dent by the Democratic Nat
ional Convention a man upon
whom the strength of the party
can centre. He must be a man
whose Democracy is above re-
proach. No shirker who places
his own personal peccadilloes
above the judgment of his
party representatives in Nat
tional Convention assembled,
can do this. Six millions of
Democrats who battled with a
principle, will not consent to the
rewarding of any man whose
defalcation in the hour of strife
aided in their defeat.
The hour of victory is here.
The man will be also. The SUSSEX

\ bill has been offered i'm the
Maryland Senate to appropriate
$50, 900 to be expended under

mission of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition. With such
a sum "A building can be erected
at st. Louis and exhibits arrang-
ed which will not only please
every Marylander who goes to
the show next summer, but
which will also be a first-class
advertisement to the state. In
this way the investment can be
looked on as a matter of bust

away from st. Louis altogether
without doing the Exposition

not stay away without doing

Bricks for

Prof. A. n. Johnson, of the Highway
Division of the Maryland Geological
Survey, an expert on road building,
spent Monday in Salisbury, and con-
ferred with the committee recently APP
pointed by Mayor Disharoon to investi-
gate ways and means for paving some
of the principal streets of Salisbury.
Prof. johnson talked with several
members of the committee during the
day and in the evening met the full COM
mite and several other prominent citi-
zens at the City Hall. The plans of the
committee. as published i'll last weeks
Ne,rs, were laid before Prof. Johnson,
and he approved them. He said that
the best pavement for traffic in this sec
ton would he vitrified brick laid in
cement. He said the present shell found
alton upon which to lay the bricks if
properly prepared, and that by using
the shells considerable saving in the
cost of the pavement could be affected.
He recommended putting about an inch
and half or two inches of sand on the
solid shell foundation. spread evenly.
then lay the bricks upon the bed of sand
carefully filling the joints with cement.
In order TO provide for expansion and
contraction of the pavement he recon-
mended leaving every 30 or 40 feet an
opening of an inch IN the pavement the
entire width of the street. these open
ings to be filled with asphalt Thi; will
allow for any expansion and prevent the
pavement from buckling. Prof John
son said he believed the pavement could
be laid in this manner. using the best
vitrified brick, for about $3.50 square
yard. He strongly impressed upon the
committee the advantages of brick
streets and urged the city to make the
outlay.
The committee rendered Prof johnson
vote of thanks for the valuable infor-
nation given. - lVicomico News.
