/ Edward Hamilton Afford. son Of w.

I son county. North Carolina, on Jan
uary 5, 1917. though he went to Colds
! b0rO, ". c., while yet a lad, and re-
/ ceived his education at Trinity College.
/ While there he was confirmed a member
Of the Episcopal Church
Coming 90 Florida during the civil
war, he enlisted in company Of vol
unteers and served until the cloze Of the
war, after which he lived for several
years at Centreville, in this county.
On the 18th OF August, 1879, he was
married to Miss Mary Walden, Of this
city, and came here % live in 1880, es-
tablishiDg large mercantile business,
which he has since carried on with
great ability and success.
Mr.. Afford left Tallahassee last Sum

apparently in good health, but almost
Immediately after dinner he complained
Of feeling ILL., He was seated on the
veranda Of the Lanark Inn, and gen

Mr. Afford was already dead. The sad
news was Immediately telephoned to

home. His three older daughters, Mary,
Minna and Helen, we're In North Caro-
lima. his elder son, Edwin, in New
York, and bis younger son, ,Rutledge,
several miles out I'm the country. As
soon as possible the scattered family
returned home, and the funeral services
took place from the residence Of the
deceased, on Monroe street, at 10I
o clock Tuesday morning.
All places Of business were closed,
and a large assemblage of citizens
gathered at the house TO show their re-
spect 90 his memory. The rector, Dr.
Carter, being absent, Rev. Curtis
Grub, Of Live Oak, was sent for to
read the service, and the Episcopal
choir sang hymns selected for the occa-

Mr. Afford was quiet and demon
'trative man, spending his life in his
nome and at his store, doing deeds of
kindness and charity with a modesty
that kept those deeds from the general
public, but which were known 10 his
few intimate friends. The editor of
this paper knew him well, and has ex
perienced kindnesses and appreciation
from him which will ever be treasured
IN his memory, and he joins with other
friends in sincere sympathy for the
grief OF the bereaved family.

The city council have finally decided that they do not want any city hall at least for the ',~esent. and they have also discovered that the title to their lot is imperfect We had had the inn pression that they had received a deed from the townsite trustee for the prop erty. In any event it is now pretty late in the day to discover that the property belongs to somebody else, es- pecially in view of the fact that the city has already paid twice for the squatters rights.

JAPANESE WAR SCARE.


 the idea of war between the United States and Japan, the Japanese in Tokyo and other large cities of that country are loudly denouncing the United States on account of the cxclu sion of Japanese of the working class. They also have a grudge agains. this country on account of the attitude as- sumed by California on the school question.
 The feeling ir Japan is indicative of what may become the feeling of the Japanese government. at any moment. The Japanese government is conserva tive and cautious, but once national pride has been touched it is next to impossible to keep down hostile feeling against a foreign country. The nation can at the best force its will on the n.ikado and his advisers.
 It is significant that a story should come from Fort Davis to the effect that the garrison had been warned of possible trouble with Japan. It is likely that there is not much in the story; yet 1t is an interesting side light on the strained relations of the two countries. This has been followed | by telegram to The Nugget indicat . ing that the government Is preparing for foreign invasion.
 Nome might well look ahead to what might happen to it in the event of war with Japan. The Japanese have always looked with a covetous eye on this region. They have even gone the length of asserting that Alaska more naturally belongs to them than to the United States.
 In the event of war Japanese cruiser might easily sail into Nomt harbor some day-say about this sea- son-hold up the shipping. land a strong body of troops, and under cove of the quick-firing gurs sail away with the whole result of the winters cleanup. What Is to prevent such a performance? The few troops at Fort Davis would be helpless. The citizens could do nothing.
 | After a while Japan could land ] strong army division in this country and Alaska has nothing to oppose such a body of troops. The Japanese are Il q ctnpond n uyt al otn Tbnx showed no diminution of valor or strategy when facing the blizzards of Manchuria, which are as formidabl. as those of Alaska. The whole coun- try could be held as captured territory and either retained at the close of :, 1 var or made basis for other conces sions.
 After all, the government might d. I worse than advise the various garri. sons of Alaska of what should be done in the event of war with Japan. It is well to be prepared. The government
 however, must do something more thar
 warn the garrisons. It must take step. to defend this rich mineral territory
 Though the Washington authOritie!

 There is perhaps very little dange
 of war with foreign power. but thu
 fact remains that in the event of sucl
 a thing coming to pass, and it Is wei within the bounds of probability
 Alaska would be found practically de lfenseless.

The passage of an ordinance mak- ing it misdemeanor to block up the
 ity sidewalks is a good one, provided of course, that it cannot be upset in the district court. The practice of blocking up the sidewalk with goods has become altogether too prevalent and at times 1t is impossible for a lady to pass along the street without being compelled to walk in the street and have mud splashed on Ter dress by the passing teams. There is an excuse for the man who blocks the sidewalk when he is shipping goods and mer. lhandise. but there is no mitigation fo the business man who habitually uses the sidewalk as a place on which tt store his goods.

As a field for investment for a poor man, Nome is unsurpassed in any country in the world, and there are hundreds of clerks and professional men who are engaged in various avo- cations in the city who put the surplus of their earnings, after their living ex
 penses have been paid, into mining
 They take leases on property. or de- velop claims in which they are part owners. The system is good one foi a poor man, for he can earn sufficient in this country to enable him to spend a small sum each year in development
 while in the cities in the United State: he earns very little more than his liv- ing expenses. It is true that the man
