After lowering close TO the
door of death for many days, and
having suffered from the ravages
of disease for more than a year,
Mr.. c. +. Reams, known among
his intimate friends as "Uncle
Frank" passed into the great be.
yond Tuesday morning at 10:5(
o'clock. He passed away at his
home on Morris street, where he
had resided for a number Of
years. While his death was ex.
pected, and has been almost
hourly looked for for severa
days, still when the news flew
over the town that Mr.. Reams
was no more it was a shock.
He was the son Of John p
Reams and Mrs. Lucy Reams, oi
Granville county. and was one
of eight sons, these being in the
order named: William, Alexan.
der, Green, Marion, Crockett,
George and Henry. Now there
survive just three Of these
Messrs. II. A., this city; d. c.,
of Fulton, KY, and George w.,
of Wakefield, Wake county. One
peculiar thing in connection with
the death Of those who have
passed away up to this time is
that with one exception the old.
est died first, the next second
and so down to the death Of
Frank Reams.
The funeral and burial took
place Wednesday afternoon.

WAS IT MURDER OR SUICIDE7
c. 7. Oakley Found In Lakewood Park
NaialOrium Tuesday.

HdidiUIiuW iuE0udy. n
Last Tuesday afternoon re-
ports were circulated that a man
had been found in the bathing
pool at Lakewood Park, and in
vestigation proved the rumor to
be true. The man found was
C. 7. Oakley, an agent of the
Singer Sewing Machine company,
whose territory was in Orange
and Person counties, and who
came here last Saturday. The
body was viewed by the coroner
and ordered to be turned over to
the undertaken, where an exam
ination was made, but no inquest
was held as the coroner had
nothing to base such an action.
Since the finding of the body
there have been all sorts of talk
about suicide and foul play, but
to the present time nothing de-
finite has been learned. How
ever, from appearance of the
body, a bruise on the head and
brasures Of the skin in several
places, and the fact that only
three cents in money was found
on his person, supports the theory
that he was killed and put into
the pool. From those that knew
Mr.. Oakley it was learned that
he came here Saturday and was
stopping at the Biltmore Hotel,
and theslast they knew of him,
until the body was found,
Monday. There are some clues
that would point out a muderer,
but they are not of such a nature
that much Importance is attach
ed to them.
The body was shippedto Hills
boro last Wednesday morning
according to instructions from a
brother Of the dead man, and the
interment took place in the old
country home.
Charles 7. Oakley was born in
Orange county and was about q
years ofage. He leavesa mother,
one sister and one brother. He
has worked in Durham a great
deal and was well known here to
a number Of people.
While the above tells the story
Of the death of Mr.. Oakley as is
best known at this time, the Of
ficers of the law are doing all in
their power to discover if there
was foul play, and if so, to bring
the guilty one to justice.
Wednesday a brother of the
dead man came here in company
with two friends for the purpose
of investigating the cause Of
death. They traced his move
ments so far as they could and
found out nothing new. How
ever, they are Of the opinion that
Mr.. Oakley did not commit sui
eide, but that the body was
placed in the bathing pool after
the murder.

Eugene Appendix Club.

Eugene, April 1S.-Eugene people
who have submitted 20 an operation
for the removal OF the vermiform ap-
pendix are about to form themselves
into a club or society for several rea-
sons. One of the principal ones is
that, according to the Darwinian
theory of evolution. by intermar-
riages a progeny may result in sew
eral generations which will not be
troubled with such nonsensical
trouble-breeder as the vermiform ap-
pendix. Judge Wintermeier has
thought IL all out, and thinks the
scheme perfectly feasible and prae-
ticable. The only thing in the way
is 10 make all other appendioulated
people think SO.

U'REN DENIES COST
Is $50, 900 to $4O,OOO for Submitting
Legislation 70 People.

Oregon City special: William s
U'Ren, the father of the initiative
and referendum, takes issue with the
statements that have been published
regarding the cost of voting under
that law. Mr.. U'Ren has carefully
computed the cost of initiating and
referring legislative measures to the
people under the act of 1907, which
repeals the act of 1903. He admits
that the postage expense in sending
printed matter all over the state to
100000 voters will be $4,000, but he
says that the cost of printing would
be $3636 for 120 pages of measures,
figuring on 100000 copies, which is
one-third more than has ever been
printed. He says the binding will
cost $1,000 and the paper $3.50.
The experience of Mr.. U'Ren
stands him in good stead in figuring
on this matter He bases the cost OF
addressing and filling 100000, en-
velopes at 81 per thousand, totaling
$4O0. The envelopes can be supplied
and printed for So per thousand, or
$500, and he believes that the cost
of securing the names and postoffice
addresses of 100000 voters will not
exceed $500. Mr.. U'Ren's figures
