Death of Mr.. Zachary Garris.

On the 26 of April, 1905, the
Salem church and the citizens OF
Wayne county were called upon to
mourn the death of one of its purest
and best msn, Uncle Zachary Gar
| ris, as we called him.
Brother Garris was II years OF
age and his life was a noble one. In
young life he protested faith in
Christ and connected himself with
the M. E. Church South, and lived
amidst the trials and misfortunes
through which he passed, an exem-
pIary pious lie.
His sadness IN the loss of his en-
tire family was quite a eve trial,
but only tended 10 draw him nearer
to the God he loved and served.
His membership Was atSalem and
his seat was never vacant If it was
possible for hum to be present, and
for four years the writer never failed
to call on Uncle Ztckary to conclude

humble, faithful appeal to his God.
Alter the loss of his family he
spent his closing days in the home
of his friend Mr. L. Z. Andrews,
who together with his whole family
supplied not only his needs but every
want of his in their power to do so,
and 1t was done cheorfuliy and aft C.
tionately. They Will really feel his
absence, his wise c0unsels and his
sweet companionship Tor many years
to come. brother GarrIS Was GLASS;
leader in Salem church for Is years
and there never was a more faithful
and efficient one.
The evening of his long and USE
ful life was beautiful and grand aud
the setting of lies u was clear and
bright with no cloud to cast its shad-
ow and din its Iustre. He died per-
! fectly conscious and with his dying
heath said to those present ''though
He Stay me, yet will ! trust Him.''
We buried him beside his wife
near PIkeville, aud the many sad
ones present told of the love they
bore for him.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by his pastor at the home of Mr.
I. P. Andrews.

The Trial Postponed.

New York, April 10.-The trial of
Nan Patterson on the charge of killing
Caesar Young, which was to have be-
gun before Recorder Golf in the Court
of General Sessions today, was post
poned for one week upon request of
the prosecution.
The motion for a delay was strongly
opposed by Abraham Levy, chief coun-
sci for the defendant. In granting the
postponement Recorder Golf said he
did not think that the interests of the
defendant or of public justice would be
interfered with because of a week S
delay.
Miss Patterson was not taken to
court today. Her father was present
during the arguments, however, as also
was John ID. Mellin, Caesar Young
racing partner, one of the principal
witnesses for the prosecution
A special panel of two hundred jur-
ors had been summoned in the case,
but only 143 of the talesman answered
the roll call today. BY direction of
the Recorder each of the fifty-seven
absenteeS was fined $780,

Paris, April 10.-'The authorities
here are satisfied that the Russian
Second Pacific Squadron will not seek
to put into Saigon, French Cochin
China, as the shallow harbor does not
permit of the entrance of deep
draught warships.
The imminence or a naval battle
arouses the keenest interest.
NJ BerUet, the naval critic of the
Temps is also of the opinion pre-
viously expressed in other quarters
that Admiral Rojestvenslky plans in
fiicting losses equal to his own and
thus reducing Japan's naval effective
so that the remaining Russian ships
reinforced by Admiral Nebogatoff's
division of the Second Pacific Squad
ron from Jibutil (French SOmaliland)
will permit Russia to present an equal
if not greater sea power than Japan.
In the meantime M. Bernet asserts
that the Second Pacific Squadron is
likely to seize the Dutch Island of
Great Natuna for use as a base Justify
ing it's course by Japan's use of the

all opposition to the eXtradition pro-

they are to answer only to conspiracy
charges.
When the habeas corpus hearing
was called this afternoon Attorney
Cogan, partner of Thomas F. Shay,
who has heretofore acted for the
Smiths, appeared before Judge Spiegel
and announced that j. Morgan Smith
and his wife were perfectly willing to
return to New York without further
opposition to the extradition proceed
ings, if proper assurances were given
to them that their presence there had
only to do with the indictment for con-
spiracy and that they would not while
in New York be called on to answer
or appear in any other case. This
promise was made by Assistant District
Attorney Caravan and the .habeas cor

Opinions at Toxic.
Rev. j. C. Leonard Speaks.

Toxic, April 0-Vice Admiral
Rojestvensky's Second Pacific Squad
ron has not been reported here since
it passed Singapore. It's whereabouts
and the plans of Vice Admiral Rojest-
vensky are subjects of the keenest
general speculation.
1t is quite generally assumed that
Vice Admiral Rojestvensky does not
desire an immediate battle and that
he will attempt to reach Vladivostock
where there are docks and shops or
seize a base. The latter course is
deemed unsatisfactory on account of
poor facilities and the danger of politi-
cal complications. Many believe that
the Russian naval commander has a
second rendezvous in the Pacific ocean
and that he will speedily quit the
China Sea and go eastward of the
Philippines If Vladivostock in his
objective the Pacific is considered to
be more favorable for the accomplish
ment of his purpose, although it large
ly depends on Vice Admiral Ro1est-
vensky himself. -
The Japanese newspapers and pub
lie express pleasure over the approach
of the Russian second Pacific squad
ron as well as confidence in the ability
of Admiral Togo's fleet to vanquish 1t.

Thousand Acres.
(Rv tho A ssociatad Press

JacksonVille, Fla, April 10.-Judge
Locke, OF. the United States District
Court, has confirmed the report of
the special commissioner appointed
to investigate the validity of a grant
of 100000 acres of land in West
Florida along the Apalachicola river,
made by the Spanish Crown to John
Forbes. The case has been in the
courts since 1880, when suit was in
stituted against the government by
Theodore Dalcour to recover the
lands. The only direct living heir
to the property is Miss Clementine
Dalcour, of Philadelphia. AS the case

clamation act The Comptroller, in
the course of his reply to a commune
cation from the Secretary on the sub
ject says:
IF | may be permitted to express
an opinion as to the legality of such
transactions when considered in rela-
ton to sections 2 and % of the Inter-
State Commerce Acts of February 4,
1887 and 1889, ! would say that it is
extremely doubtful if either can be
maintained. BY what authority the
government can contract with rail-
road that a contractors plant Shall re-
ceive a rebate in freights not applica-
BILE to other shippers is beyond my
comprehension. If this right exists
it might as well extend to -four hay,
and other commodities and the We
hicles used ny contractor in making
delivery to the government. But grant
ing such right exists, when covered
by contract and such rebate taken
into consideration when the contract
is made by what stretch of authority
can the government step in where the
contract between it and the contractor
has been entered into and the amount
to be paid for the work, or for the
work and the Materials is fixed and
liquidated, and receive or take from
the price because of a railroad rebate
Is beyond my comprehension,
The government, above all others
should not be q party to a violation
of either the letter or spirit of the
Interstate Commerce Act as regards
the question of rebates. 1t should not
engage in questionable transactions
in order that a saving of a few dol
lars may be had, especially when this
saving results in the tearing down of
a law which experience proves very
difficult, if not absolutely impossible
to enforce"
The Interior Department replied to
the letter insisting on the legality of
their proposed action and stating that
the rebates in question probably would
amount to a million dollars in the
next seven years. In the course of
his response to this letter the Comp
troller says that the amount of these
rebates being large is a cogent rea-
son why the government should make
no mistake by being a party or a
beneficiary of the violation of the law
prohibiting the giving of discriminate
ing rebates. He then says:
For the above reasons, and many
others which might be urged. if you
will pardon the suggestion, I advise
