COL. WILSON H. LUCAS.

News has been received of the death of
Col. Wilson II. Lucas, of Hyde county.
He had not been strong since his illness
in Raleigh during the last session of the
valid for several months, knowing that
the day of crossing over the river, "to
rest under the shade of the trees with
his commander was near at hand. We
have no particulars of his death, but we
know the noble nature of the man, and
doubt not that he was ready for the
call and met his pilot face to face
Colonel Lucas was a school boy when
the presidential election of 1860 presaged
the War Between the States. He had
been at school in Orange two years, and
when the call was made for Confederate
volunteers he was going to school to the
late Rev. Charles F. Deems d. D., at
Wilson. He volunteered at once and
served until General Lee sheathed his
sword There was no better soldier, no
drawer man, no more loyal soul in an army
made up Of choice patriotic spirits. In
peace he served his country with as
much fidelity and courage as in war.
Long the leader of the Democracy in
Hyde and one of the foremost men in the
First district. he helped to redeem it
after the Reconstruction. He served his
people five or six times in the House or
Representatives and the State Senate,
was Cleveland elector, Shell Fish Com
missioner, and once led with splendid cour-
age the forlorn hope as a candidate for
Congress. In the General Assembly he
was noted for his devotion to the highest
interests of his constituents, for his frank
ness and sincerity, and his deep seated
patriotism. He loved his State with a de-
votion that was beautiful. He was elo-
quent, witty, true as steel-a golden
hearted gentleman.
During the last session of the General
Assembly he made two or three speeches
that in true elouuence reached the high
water mark of his powers as an orator
His speech nominating General Carr for
Senator was by common consent the most
eloquent speech of the session, and his
culogy of Lee delivered at the meeting
Of the Daughters OF the Confederacy in
Raleigh was exquisite. His eloquent
tongue is still in death, but devoted friends
will keep his memory green.

and larger income The period of wait
ing that comes even to the most brilliant
young lawyers was irksome to him. In
1885 he was offered position as division
chief in the Treasury Department under
Cleveland. He made the mistake of taking
1t at the time when he should have been
laying deep and broad the foundations for
his professional career. Afterwards he
saw the mistake, but he never saw how
he could retrace his steps.
No young man of his time was more
generously endowed with oratorical gifts.
He was a most attractive and charming
young man. If he had remained in North
Carolina, given his days and nights to the
study of law, he had the talents and the
endowments to have made a name for
himself.
The worst thing a young man of real
talent can do is to take office unless he
does so merely to provide the money TO
enable him to complete his education.

NEVER MIND THE GERMS.

Prof. Black, of Wisconsin, declares that
mere are 97,9S7.432 bacteria on a 81 bill.
1--WE knew" says the Washington Post,
''the number was large. but could never
keep the bill long enough to complete the
count"
Hon. John Wesley Gaines, Of Tennessee,
has a bill pending in Congress requiring
the redemption of money that is soiled
when as much as $1,000 is presented. In
an argument before the Banking and Cur
rency Committee, Mr.. Gaines asserted that
4 single bill which had been in circulation
in Cuba and returned to the treasury for
redemption, contained 232 different kinds
of microbes. These microbes, he asserted,
were hungry and would joyfully feed on the
mucous membrane of either Democrat
or a Republican. Physicians of Philadel-
phia, he SAID, had been examining filthy
money in that city and had declared it
full Of germs.
Strange to say, though the one dollar
bills in circulation in these parts are
reeking with germs, people go right on
taking these germ carriers and never
seem to mind the germs.

ISIT THE BIGGEST FEE?

In the Wilkes and Stanly county bond
cases, Captain Charles Price. - Salisbury,
who was chief counsel for the bondholders,
was given a fee of $4,000. 1t is believed
to be the largest single fee ever paid to a
lawyer in North Carolina. Ii not, what
lawyer ever received so large a fee in
one case?
The litigation was long drawn out and
occupied much time. The Supreme Court
of North Carolina held that the bonls
were invalid and most lawyers felt that
Captain Price could not win the case.
But he always believed that he would
win and gave his best efforts in that di
rection. The bondholders had almost des

posed a theory that he said would estab-

every man who gets rich has either sense
o. selfishness or both, but the remark
was that any man who had the two could
get rich. And can't he? And then
wouldn't everybody sing peans of praise
