(By the Associated Press. }

Cheraw, s. c., Dec. 16.-Judge
Watts today refused to have the body
Of Robert Keith Dargan exhumed, the
application having beon made by rep
resentatives of an insurance company
against which the family Of Dargan
holds "a policy Of $4,000 and which
remains unpaid because of persistent
rumor to the effect that Dargan is
not dead. The application was resisted
by counsel for the coroner OF Darling

Judge Watts stated that We're the
solicitor of this circuit moving for such
an order, he would be inclined to listen
to him, but that he would not listen
to private parties asking for such an
order. Judge Watts intimated that he
believed morbid curiosity had a great
deal to do with the proceedings to-
day, and that there We're 40 valid
grounds for the request.
The matter brings into general
notice again the tragic story of Dar-
gan's suicide by taking carbolic acid

Yesterday Vice President Andrews,
of the Southern Railway answering
the complaint in the matter of connec-
Ion al Goldsboro OF Southern train
number 112, due at Goldsboro at 700
a. M, notified the Corporation Com
mission that hereafter the connection

This is good news for all Eastern

ular trains ever run on the Southern

through Raleigh at 5:15 a. m. 1t en-
ables man to reach New Bern, Will
nington or Wilson, in time for a late
breakfast. But latterly the train has
often reached Goldsboro behind time
and missed all the connections. That
has been very disappointing to the
travelling public. Complaint was
made to the Corporation Commission.
That body took the matter UP with
President Andrews, who reported
1t TO the operating department The
railroad company has had under con-
sideration several weeks the question
of how they could best make the con-
nection. Yesterday Vice-President
Andrews notified the Corporation

made arrangements whereby the train
will hereafter reach, Goldsboro every

HENRY RTOUNT IN GATES.
He Delights the People Of That County
Upon Il Recent Visit.
To the Editor:


Gatesville, n. c.. Dec. 15.-We have
! had with us this week Henry Blount,
of Wilson, North Carolina'S great lee
turer, who made q tour of the county
in the interest of the oxford Orphan
age Asylum. His presence here was
an inspiration to our people. and ]
cannot describe his wonderful genius
better than TO give you an extract of
IA conversation / had with a cultivated
lady of the village, and she knows
whereof she speaks. She saws:
Attractive and pleasing as his style
is, perhaps it is his wonderful gift OF
word painting which contributes more
than any one quality to Mr. BlOunt
success as a lecturer.
Whether describing the awful sub
lime grandeur of the mountain storm
as it sweeps in roaring torrents over
the yawning chasm over the Rockies
or whether he pictures the soft
ephemenal tints Of the sunset sky as
the diving day sinks TO rest. his style
loses none of its charm and splendid
command of words and forcefui de-
livery. entities him to the distinction
of an orator of unusual ability.
"In Beyond the Alps Lies Italy his
theme is uplifting and ennobling.
While he admonishes us to make the
most of every opportunity to over
come the dlf1lcultleS tnat may sur
Eround our paths. to mount the rough
and rugged cliffs of the Alps, keeping
the sunlit skies Of Italy ever before u.s.
he reminds us that though we
achieve fame. the applause of the
world, renow, vet if we take
not with us the example and the
name of Jesus-that pearl Of great
price-our life is a delusion and its
ambition but an empty dream.
LAS a humorist he is unique. From
rapturous flights of cloquence,
his style changes quickly anu
assuming with ease and versatility the
character he personates he has his
audience convulsed with uncomfortable
laughter. as he tells a bright, humor-
Gus story in his peculiarly inimitable
style.
"As an attractive all-round lee
turer Mr. Blount is a success, and
having heard others in New England,
where / lived for many months. / beg
to say he measures up TO any OF
them"
Mr.. Blount does not measure up to
Ransom, nor does any one else. but in
my judgment he will hold his own be-
fore any cultivated audience of the
nation. w. p. ROBERTS.

to man his highest worth, and whose

his most worthy brother is another
