SALES DAY IN MARCEL

The first Monday in March was
a lovely spring day and in consc-
quence there was not very large
turnout of visitors, who no doubt
were busy on the farms at home.
There was pretty fair crowd OF
horse swappers OH hand, and who
were the last to leave at night.
There was some nice displays OF
chickens by e. G. Newton, j, NJ
Moody and j. S. Covington, all Of
whom made sales ofeggs and chick
ems.
Messrs Fuller Bros. and w. P
Brccdcn sold some nice mules to
farmers, who mantcd more plows
just now.
The day passed pleasantly with
out accident or incident.

able gentleman with nons .buktss altracee
Jtlvs'ql qls!Sittties, @hneG stave t59v him hosts of
friends and caused him to be loved by
his family with a 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-
ter unspotted integrity, unimpeach-
ed honor and integrity was his to an
eminent degree. He lived long enough
he did enough, and did it it so we'll, so
successfully, so honorably as to con
meet himself for 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 fine company raised in Hebron

kinah of our political faith, was furled
forever in defeat, but not it dishonor
AS soldier, he was prompt, fearless

ously composed, in the ministry, the
judiciary and the legislative halls of
the country. of which last body the
subject of this sketch was prominent
member, looking with an unslumber-
ing eye after the interest of his con.
stituents.
Captain Covington was 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 abil-
ity. Their ranks embrace some of
most eloquent divines, largest capital
lists, scientific planters and intelligent
merchants.
His life in its different phases was
symposium of beautiful accomplishment.

IN MEM0R1AM.
Capt. James r. CoYington.

1 q y. p. -
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 HI
Kemper 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.
cliniug health, which he bore with
christian fortitude 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
The 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 confiding love of a
true hearted woman. A home-from
my heart I pity him whose sou! does
not leap at the utterance of that name
1t is not the house, though that may
have its charms, nor the fields, nor the
trees, nor yet the freside 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 gentleEt forgiveness that there
your troubles will be smiled away; that
there you may confide your trials fear
less of unsympathizing ears and that
there you may be joyfully yourself. In
the sunlight of such home, the Cap
taln's last moments we're 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,
that to the Captain the edge of the
grave was but foot scraper, at the
wicket of elysium.
1t was only those who knew Captain
Coyington intimately that had 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 manper,
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 and hence he had no ap.
prehension of evil f-c~ .he 7-noa-t

DEATHS DoxNGS.

That "Death loves q shining
mark" has been sadly proven in the
recent losses in 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 F. Ever
EFT, and took therefrom the gentle
spirit ofhis daughter Miss RACHEL,
who had been stricken only a week
previous. It was a sad death--the
loss of a young ne just budding

and the crown already pressed upon
her brow is as bright rs though hhe
great work she wanted to do wax

The last dread conflicts DER.
And she is resting safely

TOO MUCH WIND
FOR A|RSH|P

Special to The Herald
PLAYA DEL REY, April So.-"Too
much wind"
That was the answer given to dis
appointed but orderly crowd of more
than five thousand persons who sat for
three long hours this afternoon in a
scorching sun expecting momentarily
to see the Trombly- -Haddockl airship
Bullet" loosed from it's fastenings and
started on it's one hundred mile jour-
ney through space.
Finally, at $50 o'clock. while the
breeze continued amply strong to bend
a staunch flag pole from which Old
Glory waved on distant housetop,
the inventors abandoned their arrange
ments and what was left of fast
dwindling audience soon left the scene,
while Trombly and Haddock on whose
features could be plainly traced the
disappointment they so keenly felt, ST.
lently began preparations for protecting
the tuggng skyship.
Never before in the history Of Playa
del Rey has larger assemblage been
attracted to that resort in one day than
was present this afternoon to see the
initial voyage of what has been adver-
tised as the greatest airship of all,
the Bullet" AS far as the eye could
see and from every conceivable point
of vantage curious humanity had gath
cred, and it proved highly amusing for
one to listen to the stray bits of con-
versation concerning airships.
Every hill and rooftop, every point
that promised seat or an unobstruct-
ed view of the great, shiny, inflated
cylinder, had tenant.
1t was a great day for Playa del Rey,
and the only thing to mar the occasion
was the fact that the ship didn't go up.
Unless something unforeseen happens
or another land squall, which Navigator
Trombly says Is as dangerous to an
airship is a sea squall is to a seaship,
comes up, the Bullet" will fill today's
contract on Sunday next.
