COL. COLSON DEAD
Notable Figure Passes Away
Was Formerly Congressman
from Eleventh District.
WAS A PROMINENT POLITICIAN.

Col. David Grant Colson form
er congressman from the Elev-
enth district, died at Middle Bboro
Tuesday night of nervous pros
tratiou.
Col. Colson was a native son of
the mountains. He was born at
Middlesboro, Ky., April l, 1861.
After an academic education he
laugh school. In 1879 and 1880
he took a junior course in law in
Kentucky University.
Col. Colson's early life was an
active one politically and social
ly. He was considered one of
the handsomest and most court
eous of the younger men of the
State. He was fearless, chival-
rous, bold and brave, and at all
times true to his friends. AS a
foe, he was relentless, and the
man who incurred his enmity
always knew that an implacable
foe would have to be dealt with.
His first political Office of any
note was as Special Examiner of
the United States Pension Bu-
reau, which he held from 1882 to
1886. He was a member of the
Kentucky Legislature in 1878
and Republican nominee for
State Treasurer of Kentucky in
1889. He was Mayor of Mid
dlesboro in 1898. He was elected
a member of Congress for the
term of 1879, but during that
term-in 1S9S-he left Washing
ton to take command of the
Fourth Kentucky inf a mt r y,
United States Volunteers, in the
Spanish American war. During
his congressional term he was
chairman of the Committee on
Expenditures on Public Build
ings.
Col. Colson had for many years
been recognized as one OF the
foremost Republican politicians
in Kentucky. After the death
of Congressman Vincent Bore
ing, about two years ago, Col.
Colson was prominently men,
toned among those suggested to
make the race to succeed him.
DR.. w. Godfrey Hunter and ID.
Q. Edwards, however, announced
themselves as candidates and
Col. Colson made no effort to get
the nomination. In all the party
counsels, Colson's advice was
always sought, and, among the
younger men, he was considered
one of the shrewdest and most
adriot political managers in the
State.

Wilmington were Don on the scene
and cleared the debris. No one was
hurt.
Spring arrived Sunday in season

''corn juice" boarded the train at
Newbern for a point at a station
some few miles distant. Two of the
negroes, a father and son, became
b%oisterous and a colored porter tried
to quiet them, when one of the
negroes pulled out his knife and cut
the porter across the hand. A gen
eral mix-up followed in which Capt.
Hinnant and others of the train crew
participated. The troublesome ne
groes were finally overpowered and
put off the train and had to walk TO

Judge Durham, a well-known local

A report had become current among the

with consumption. It was feared for a

most prominent and influential citizens.
It was also reported that the judge
had failed to get any relief from any of

short while, and have never felt the
least symptoms OF catarrh since. Pc
runa is certainly a good medicine, and
deserves the highest praise which is
given it by the general public"
Judge Durham has been Secretary and
Treasurer of the city of Greensboro, Ga.,~
for the past three years, and has been a.
local judge for ten years.
Dread Consumption.
There are three roads which lead from
health to consumption. Over one of
these roads pass all of that great multi
tude of people who die every year Of
consumption. Each route begins with
health and happiness and ends with dis
| ease and death.
First road: a slight co1d-neglected--
settles in the head or throat-chronic
catarrh-extends to the 1ungs-consump-.
~tion-death.
Second road: a slight cold-neg1ected
~cough-settles in the lungs-cough grad
ua1ly growing worse-consumption-
death.
Third road: a Observation-Disclosures
in the throat-hoarseness-short breath
Thousands nave just started on one OF
these roads, all of whom could be easily
cured by Peruna. Thousands more are,
half way to the fatal end Of one of these
roads who are still durable by a course
of treatment by Peruna. Yet other
thousands are near the end whose last
days could be made bearab1e and hope
of recovery more probable by commend
J ing Peruna without delay.
