THREE DEATHS in ORANGE COUNTY
Reported In the Last Issue Of the
ra@&4 .tt-2 # 4
Chapel Hill News.

bhdp6I nil NGMS. Il
The following notices of deaths
in Orange county were published
in the Chapel Hill News last
week:
ACCIDENTALLY KILLS HIMSELF.
The dead body of a young ne
gro named Bob Swepson was
found lying on the road near
Cheeks crossing. in the western
part.of this county Sunday at
noon. There was suspicion of
foul play, and the authorities
were notified, with the result
that a coroier's inquest was held
in the afternoon. The evidence
showed, however. that the de-
ceased was examining a pistol
when it was accidentally dis
charged. the bullet passing
through his brain. The verdict
of the jury was in accordance
with this evidence.
DEATH OF CALVIN ANDREWS.
At an early hour yesterday
morning anot .er name was
stricken from the ever lessening
roll of our settlers, that of Mr..
Calvin Andrews, one of our old
est educators, and a good and
highly respected citizen. Aged
SO years.
Mr.. Andrews died at the home
of his son, Mr.. A. L. Andrews,
in Bethel church neighborhood.
He had been in feeble health fer
many years, but kept up until
about a week ago be took his bed
and gradually weakened until
the end. The funeral and burial
viii take place tomorrow Fri
day. at IL o'clock at Bethel
church, of which he was consis-
tent member. Rev. McDuffie
will conduct the services. His
son. Rev. Ira E. D. Andrews,
who is in Louisville, KY. is ex,
pected to arrive in time for the
burial.
He was a man of excellent
habits, fine moral character, and
sturdy constitution, and he con-
tinued to be active in his schoo
work till long past the age al
which men ordinarily crop out
Of the ranks of the workers. He
was a practical matter-of-fact
man, but had his own peculiar
way of extracting merriment
from life, as it went along, and
he was not disposed to worry
about matters that could be bet
tered in other ways. This cheer.
ful spirit remained with him to
the last, and he retained his
clearness of intellect up to hi:
closing days. He was the found
er of Andrews Academy, where
he spent his whole life in train
ing the minds of the young. Hi
worth to the community canno
be estimated. His best monu
ment will be the good report tina
he has left behind him in TIN
community in which he has live,
for more than 20 years. Peac,
to the ashes of this soldier, teach
er and Christian gentleman.
