Late Governor Russell.

Raleigh News and Observer.
The death of the late Ex-Governor
Daniel L. Russell removes a strong and
able man who had held prominent
place in the public eye for nearly half
century. He was man of much
natural ability, successful and able
lawyer. political speaker Of force, and
for years was one of the foremost lead
ers of the Republican party in North
Carolina. He had served as legislator,
superior court Judge, member of con-
gress and governor. He was chosen to
the last position in IA time when politi-
cal feeling ran high, and his admins
tration was a stormy one. What this
paper thought OF it is we'll known to it's
readers.
Governor Russell made warm friends,
who were devoted to him, and they
will read with regret OF his death,
though it does not come unexpectedly.

BILLIE Won CLAIM DEAD.
Good Citizen and Well Known Bus
iness Man OF Wilmington
Passes Away.

Wilmington, N. c., May 14-Wil-
liam c. Won Claim, for many years
well known shoe merchant here, and
Wilmington Iron Works, died at an
early hour this morning at his home
on North Third street, in the 48th year
of his age. Mr.. Won Claim a few
days ago suffered an attack of the
nerves at the base of the brain and
suffered intensely, though his condi-
ton was not regarded as critical un-
til yesterday. The imm ediate cause of
his death was failure of the heart, the
end coming quickly.
He was prcm3- entity identified with
the fraternal order life of the city, was
the chairman of the board of deacons
of St. Andrew Pres byterian church
and had been secretary and treasurer
of the Sunday school continuously for
25 years. He was best known in the
State as secretary to the North Caro-
lima Firemen's Association and had at
tended every tournament in recent
years, being afectionately known
among the fire laddies of the State as
"Billie Won Claim" His death is es-
pecially sad in view of the early tour
nament in this city, he having been
most active in preparing a royal en-
terta1nment for the visitors.
Mr.. Won Claim in 1886 married Miss
Katie Bissett, daughter of the late
John Bissett, of Wilmington, and she
with three children survive him, these
| being Lawrence Won Claim, member
of the graduating class this year at the
| A. and NJ. college,; W. c. Won Claim,
! Jr., and Miss Katherine Won Claim,
| aged Is. He also leaves a brother and
a sister in Charleston, s. C. The funeral
will be conducted tomorrow.

DOCTOR ADVISED : :
USE Of CUT|CURA'
After Other Treatment Failed
Eczema in Raw Spot on Baby
Boys Face Lasted for Months !
Cried with Pain when Washed.
ECZEMA WAS CURED AND
HAS NEVER REAPPEARED

"Our baby boy broke out with
eczema on his face when one month
old. One place on the side of his face
the size of nickel was raw like beef
steak for three months, and he would
cry out when I bathed the parts that
were sore and broken out. I gave him
three months treatment from good
doctor, but at the end of that time the
recommended Cuticura. After using
q cake of Cuticura Soap, a third Of
box Of Cuticura Ointment, and half 9
bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent he was well
and his face. was as smooth as any
baby's. He is now two years and q
half old and no eczema has reappeared.
I am still using the Cuticura Soap;
think it is the finest toilet soap ever
used. keep my little girls hair and
thankful for what Cuticura has done
for us. Mrs. M. L. Harris, r. f. D. 1,

ROOSEVELT EXPLAINS.
He Would Have State and Federal Power
Demarked.
Especial to the ARGUs.0

Washington, May 15.-President
Roosevelt in the conference of gov
ernors today defined his position on fed
eraI power and control and that of State
power and control, and declared en-
phatically that his primary object is to
conserve the interests of the Whole peo-
pie without thought of either Federal
or State government as such.
II have tried to discover some pop
ular sovereign that could control cor
porattons. I have tried to find where
the State or the nation can act and
have some sovereign power to hold
every big corporation and person to a
strict accounting, in order that people
might be benefited.
'Of course the States power is SOW
erign in the State but if the State can
not act, then 1 wish, on behalf of the
State, that the Federal government
should act
When policy can be carried out
by State it should, and when it can
be carried out only by the nation it
should be carried out by the nation"

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE
She is Eighty-Nine Years Old
Today.
One CT The Most Touching Tributes
Ever Received by Miss Night
ingale Occurred at a Din
nef TO the Officers of
the British Army and
Navy on Her Re-
turn From the
CFimed.
Especial to The ARGUs.)

London, May 15.-Florence Night
ingale, upon whom the Corporation of
the city of London recently conferred
the freedom of the city, entered upon
her eighty-ni year today. At her
home in Park Lane she received an al
tions. Among the senders of felicitous
greetings were King Edward and
| Queen Alexandra, whose message was
conveyed to Miss Nightingale's home
| by special messenger. The leading
newspapers in their issues today paid
her works and eulogized her as among
the greatest women whose names have
adorned English history.
Florence Nightingale's name is in
| seperably connected with the Crimean
War. An English army of 25 900 m en-
sailed for the Crimea in the spring OF
1854. The battle Of Alma was fought
in the following September. Mean
| time, the troops remained inactive,
decim ated by cholera and other dis
| and sick in the hospitals. The death
rate at Scutari was forty-two per cent.
In the Kului Hospital it rose to fifty
two per cent. Four patients out OF
every five who underwent amputation
died Of hospital gangrene. When
knowledge OF this, to which every
mail added new horrors, reached Eng
| land, it kindled the nation 10 a wrath
of mingled indignation and pity. More
than $4,000, 600 was poured by the peo-
pie into various relief funds, and medi-
cal supplies were sent out by the ton,
| while the medical staff was multiplied
until there was doctor for every hun
dred soldiers. The trouble, it was de-
clared, lay not in deficiency OF sup.

upon the four gentlemen referred to,
but the term itself is offensive and GER
tainly was never originated by friend
of any of the four. If these four gen
tlemen referred to ever attained suffi-
cient Importance to be thus character
lied, each one Of them can truly say
that that importance came from serv-
the common enemy, and not in attack
ing the Democratic organization nor
it's leaders. It has been the effort OF
each OF these four gentlemen to keep
the Democratic party united, growing
stronger year by year, and not to sep
arate it into factions and weaken it by
abuse unmerited and untrue. If they
have had axes to grind they have used
them when ground so as to slaughter
Republicanism and not Democracy.
| Speaking for myself alone, can say
with truthfulness that, l never made a
political speech nor did other work for
the Democratic party in consideration
of what the effect might be on my own

the same thing for Senator Simmons,
Governor Glenn and Locke Craig.
It has been charged by the support
ers Of Mr.. Kitchin that am support
ing Mr.. Craig because of an agreement
between him, Senator Simmons and
myself, that Senator Simmons is tC
