Death Of Mr.. David Bell.

Halifax county mourns the loss Of
one Of it's most prominent citizens
in the death of Mr.. David Bell, Of
Enfield, which occurred last week
The following is taken from the En-
field Progress:
1.-The news of the death of Mr.
David Bell came over the wire Mon
day as shock with pain and sorrow
The silver cord is loosed, the colder
bowl is broken, the dust has return,
ed to the earth as it was; the spiri;
has returned to the God who gave
| it.
Mr.. Bells death occurred in the
Memorial Hospital, at Richmond
where he was carried about six
weeks ago for treatment. He had
been in failing health for some time
but he was fairly on the road to re-
covery when sudden turn for the
worse came which resulted in his
death.
He was probably the best known
and most highly honored lawyer in
the county and was we'll known
throughout the State. His practice
as lawyer was wide and extended
throughout this section of Eastern
Carolina, he being an attorney for
several railroad companies.
MIR. Bell was a son of the late
Col. D. B. and Margaret Bell, of
this place. He had been married
twice. His first wife was Miss Lila
McLin, of this place. This union
was blessed with four children,
Henry McLin, David Barnes, Daniel
Long, and Lila Bell. His second
wife, who survives him, was Miss
Mattye B. Ballou, of Richmond, to
whom he was married in November,
1906. There were no children by
this marriage. Mr.. Bell is also sur
vived by one brother, Mr.. w. w.
Bell, of Savannah, and two sisters,
Mrs. j. E. Long and Mrs. w. S.
Long, Jr., of Graham.
"Mr. Bell was prominent in Ma
sonry, being a Knight Templar,
Shriner, and a Fourteenth Degree
Scottish Rite Mason. He was fifty
two years of age, and was highly
esteemed by all who knew him. The
funeral exercises were conducted at
his late home ON South Railroad
Street by the Rev. Geo. NJ. FOLSOM,
rector of the Episcopal church at
this place. The remains were laid
to rest in Elmwood Cemetery with
the beautiful and impressive cere-
monies of the Masonic fraternity,
the services being conducted by the
Enfield Lodge with an escort of the
Royal Arch Chapter and St. Aldemar
Commandery. The ceremonies
closed with the beautiful Knight
Templar service. Nearly one hun
dred Masons took part in the funer-
al rites.
'The floral offerings surpassed in
profusion and beauty anything we
have seen here, and were presented
by many friends from far and near"

WAR ON CIGARETTES

\ TIE Breckenridge Telegram
prints the following forcible edi-
torial relative to growing evil:
"The towns and villages through
out the state are becoming aroused
to the dangers Of the deadly cigar
cite which is running The lives of
our youth. We verify believe that
these coffin nails are doing vastly
more harm than Intoxicating
liquors. The latter is as a rule
sold only to men who have at
tanned their growth and the physi-
cal harm is not so great, The
cigarette is, however, sold to the
very young whose indulgence in
the weed is undermining their
health and dwarfing them mentally
and physically.
''The law is very strict in regard
to the sale and use of tLis death
dealing article, but few realize the
harm that is being done. Some of
our prohlbitionists and anti-saloon
leaguers might get the beer key
ont OF their eyes long enough to
size up this little article of COM
merce and give it some of the at
tention it deserves. Some of the
missives now being hurled against
the saloon keeper might with profit
be directed against the unscrupu.
lous dealer who would for few
paltry cents be willing to assist in
the ruin of someone's boy who
might otherwise be the joy and
pride of some fond mother. A
few kids arrested for the use aud a
few dealers for the sale would tend
to discoura &c this sort of thing"
