IN MEMORIAM.
Capt. James T. Covington.

Capt. Covington was the eldest son
OF the late ,Tristram Covington, and
first saw the light of day at the old
Homestead not far distant from which
now stands the most imposing country
residence in eastern Carolina, now
owned and occupied by his brother,
the enterprising and irrepressible 81.
Komper Covington.
In the fall of 1865 he married Miss
Lydia John Medlin, daughter of the
late Capt Joseph Medlin, of Clio sec.
ton.
After suffering some time, in de-
clining health, which he bore with
christian fcrtitude and sublime resig-
nation, he died on the 18th day Of
February 1905, at his home distant
only six miles from the old homestead
A home that was to him, not glitter
ing day dream, but the bright, blessed
adorable reality that sits highest on
he sunny horizon that girdeth life !;
where for period of 80 years he en-.
joyed that greatest spur to effort in the
bat le of life, the confding love of a
true hearted woman. A home-from
my heart I pity him whose soul does
not leap at tho utterance of that name
1t is not the bouse, though that may
have its charms, nor the fields, nor the
trees, nor yet the tireside with its sweet
blaze play, nor those cherished com
panions, your books, but it is the pres.
ence. The altar of your confidence is
there, the end of your mundane faith
is there, and crowning it all, is the &C.
stacy Of the conviction that there you
are beloved; that there you are under
stood that there your errors will meet
with gentlest forgiveness that there
your troubles will be smiled away; that
there you may confde your trials fear
less Of unsympathizing ears and that
there you may be joyfully yourself. In
the sunlight of such home, the Cap
tain's last moments were solaced by
the tender assiduities of his congenial
help mate, of his devoted son aud of
old and long familiar friends. He
leaves his widow and one son surviving
him. How comforting the thought,
hat to the Captain the edge of the
grave was but a foot scraper, Mt the
wicket of elysium.
1t was only those who knew Captain
Coyington intimately that had a true
appreciation of his real worth. The
first time the writer met him, most
favorable impression was formed OF
him. and on further acquaintance this
good opinion developed into senti-
ments of unalloyed admiration. can
never forget his unaffected manner,
his candid greeting, his cheerful dis.
position, his generous hospitality, his
transparency of feelings, his urbane
demeanor and pronounced freedom
from dissimulation and hypocrisy.
Addison, in the Spectator, says
There are many more shining qualities
in the mind of man. but none SO useful
as discretion. Without it learning is
pedantry, and wit impertinence, vir-
tue itself looks like weakness the best
parts only qualify man to be more
sprightly in errors and action to his
own prejudice. The captains life
throughout, exhibited evidences of
the presence of this indispensable
substratum end hence he had no ap-
prehansion rf evil for thr 7-n7a- =,

DEATHS DoINGs.

That "Death loves shi6ing
mark" has been sadly proven in The
recent losses i'll several homes in
our town. The last circle broken
was on Saturday March 9TH 1905,
when the angel reaper entered the
happy home of Mr.. John +. Ever
ett, and took therefrom the gentle
spirit ofhis daughter Miss RACHEL,
who had heeD stricken only week
previous. 1t was a sad death--the
loss of a young life just budding

broken shaft, work unfinished
a life short of success? Nay, God
makes no mistakes. Her work was
done, she has fulfilled her mission
and the crown already pressed upon
her brow is as bright as though the
great work she wanted to do was
done.
The last dread conflicts Ger,

his power to hurt him. He was an af-
fable gentleman with none butattrac-
tive qualities, which gave him hosts of
friends and caused him to be loved by
his family with devotion approxima-
ting idolatry. His heart was foun-
tain of perennial goodness, running
over with genuine beneYolence. He
had that all absorbing humanity,
which sympathizes with the whole
family of man the humanity thus
characterized by Latin poet-Homo
gum, nihil me alienum puto. The
indispensable basis of all high charac-
unspotted integrity, unimpeach-
ed honor and integrity was his to an
eminent degree. He lived long enough
he did enough, and did it it 80 we'll, so
successfully, so honorably as to con-
meet himself fer all time with the re.
cords of his country.
AS citizen he was patriotic and
self sacrificing. He loved South Car
olina per Sc and propter sc, he loved
her for herself and for himself, and,
when in the darkest hours of her his
tory she called on her sons to buckle
on their armor and come to her rescue
he went, not "like the quarry slave at
night scourged to his dungeon" but
with alacrity and sustained by unfal-
tering trust and patriotism. His pop.
ularity and sterling traits of character
caused him to be chosen as the captain
of a fine company raised in Hebron
a position he filled with proud accept.
ance until that loved banner, the she
kinah of our political faith, was furled
forever in defeat, but not ic dishonor.
As a soldier, he was prompt, fearless
and obedient--there was nothing weak
or vaccilating about the man. 1t is
worthy of remark, that, of such mate
rial On both sides Of the conflict, arc
the men at the front today couspicu-
ously composed, in the ministry, the
judiciary and the legislative halls of
the country. of which last body the
subject of this sketch was a prominent
member, looking with an unslumber-
ing eye after the interest of his con.
stituents.
Captain Covington was a member
Of one of the oldest and most promi-
nent families in Marlboro county-a
family that has ever been conspicuous
for administrative and executive abi-
ity. Their ranks embrace some of
most eloquent divines, largest capital
lists, scientific planters and intelligent
merchants.
His life in its different phases was a
symposium Of beautiful accomplishment.
In bidding adieu to my friend and broth>
or Confederate veteran, [ do so with the
blessed assurance that he has gone
Out OF the shadows OF sadness
Into the sunshine Of gladne
Into the light of the best,
Out of land very dreary
Out OF the world very wea,y
Into the rapture OF rest.
Out of todaY's ain and sorrow
Into blissful tomorrow
Into day without gloom,
Out of land filled with sighing
Land Of the dead and dying
Into land land without tomb.

DIES OF HYDROPHOBIA.
Child Bitten On Finger By a
Small Dog About Nine
Weeks Ago.

Greensboro, n. c., Dec. 3O.-John
Reeves, the seven-year-old son Of
New Reeves, died this morning at
his home at White Oak M ills, of hy-
drophobia. About nine weeks ago
the boy was bitten on the finger by
a small yellow dog in play, it was
thought. Last Wednesday the boy
became strangely afflicted, having
convulsions and chokings. DIR. Ker-
nodle was called to see him, and at
once feared hydrophobia.
A consultation Of physicians, con-
sisting of himself, Drs. Harrison, a
specialist, of Greensboro, and DIR.
Booth, of Oxford, was had. After see
ing the boy yesterday, they all
agreed it was case-of hydrophobia,
and in an advanced stage. Heroic
measures were resorted to, but the
child, after a night of terrible suf-
fering, died this morning.

RUSSIA'S RIOTOUS REVO-
LUTIONAR

The outbreaks in Russia are per
haps regrettable at this particular
time, when the czar is considering a
scheme of constitutional reform, but
he is a man who constitutionalIy
hesitates and the occurrences of the
last two months may spur him to
quicker consideration of the mem
orial presented by the zempstvos. He
will scarcely grant representative
government in the fullest sense, tut
he will undoubtedly try to conduct
an autocracy while granting civil
liberty in qualified form to the
people. The two cannot we'll work
in double harness, and one Or the
other will suffer. It will probably
be the grand dukes and the other
reactionaries who make up the pres
ent bureaucratic machine that sup
ports the autocracy.
The new minister of interior,
Prince Mirksky, is un-
doubtedly a liberal. He undoubtedly
favors some form of representative
government, but the ring of reac-
tionists, headed by the grand dukes,
is still powerful. There will be a
compromise and reform will pro-
gress in Russia, as elsewhere, step
by step, and every step will be con-
tested by the class beneiciaries o1
the existing system. And departure
from the general policy of the bufea.
ucracy will be memorable, and all
have more or less confidence in the
good intentions of the present en-
peror.
The pressure upon the emperor
was never greater towards reform
and it will not be surprising if the ex
pected manifesto does not indicate q
line of political progress that will ir
the course of time put Russia in line
with all other nations. Russia is to
| day the last stronghold of abselut
