when our presence was due at 10:30
Monday morning. From his sick
room in Chase City, when he could not
be present, he wrote, and the letter
was in due time for the Monday meet
ing. To US he always appeared and
was brotherly in spirit, broad in char
ity, liberal in view, wise in counsel,
prudent before engaging in conflict
and brave when it was actually on.
We shall miss hinl-we have missed
him; our association has been prof1ta-
BILE; our fellowship sweet; our COM
munion in prayer and otherwise up
lifting-but these are over, here and
now; your last grasp of the hand has
been felt; your last wise counsel has
been heard; your last prayer and ben
ediction have been uttered. But in
the general assembly and church of
the F'irst-born which are written in
heaven we shall strive to meet you
again.
1--WE venture again to remind this
audience of Goldsboro people Of the
loss to this community in the taking
away from our midst of r. w. Far
ries, the citizen. If you have not
found it out you will find it out, his
place is hard to fill He did not force
himself into your thought or work.
He sought no position at your hands.
He shirked no responsibility that you
put upon him Or besought him to un-
dertake. Pastors Unions, Anti-Saloon
Leagues, hospital boards, whatever
they were if they meant the good of
this community, could always ask his
time and help and know they could
not ask in vain. His work will abide;
let his memory-the memory of this
patient, true, earnest, upright, patri
otic citizen, as well as able, clean, fer
vent and laborious minister of the
gospel, be perpetually and affection
ately cherished among US. This, his
congregation of believers, to whom he
came from his distant home to minis
ter in spiritual things, between whom
and himself the tie so long existing
has now been broken, we can only
commend you to God and the way of
His good, which is able to build you
up and to give you also part of that
inheritance upon which he has already
entered. He loved you and you loved
him, and, sweet thought, you did not
wait until death had stopped his ear
until you said SO. In one way or an
other you said so again and again, and
though death came to- lin in a land
that once was strange to him. and
among people who were once strang-
ers to him,yet, strangers no longer, it
was among them that loved him and
whom he loved that the summons
to say, we doubt if a better place for
him to answer that summons and to
sleep his last sleep could be found in
his native Scotland or his beloved
Canada than right here in Goldsboro
where as citizen, as friend, as brother
as pastor, we have all loved the man
and shall revere his memory.
| ''To you, his congregation, and to his
afflicted family-blessed even in affiic-
tion-we, his brother pastors, bring
this unworthy tribute, and with it the
assurance of our affection and of oul
prayers.

Row Boat on the Susquehana, Con-
tanning Six Men, a Woman and
Two Children Capsized.

Six men, woman and two child
ren were drowned Sunday afternoon
in the Susquehana river, near Wilkes
barre, Pa, by the capsizing of a row
boat, in which they had started for
an outing.
The dead are: Thomas Andrews,
VIM. Andrews, Theodore Andrews.
Frank Marinosky, Adam Stukus,
Frank Ganoffsky and his wife and
two boys, John and MichaeI.
While the nine persons, who Start
ed out in the small craft remained
close to shore, all went we'll, but as
the boat drifted into the swift cur
rent, it began to dip water. The oc-
cupants became panic-stricken and
called frantically for assistance.
Some boys at play on the bank
heard the screams, but before 4 boat
could be secured the rowboat in
midstream had filled and sank. None
of the occupants could swim, and
were swept down the river to their
death by the running current.

THE STATE ASYLUM AFFAIR.
The State Is Responsible For Its
Condition.

A dispatch from Columbia to The
Charleston Post says those who are
expecting any stirring sensations
from the legislative investigation In
to the affairs of tho State hosnital
for the insane are going to be disap-
pointed, unless the unforeseen hap
pens.
Members Of the committee who
have been probing as deeply as pos
sible and who have listened to all
the complaints against the manage
ment preparatory to putting the wit
nesses on the stand. are Thoroughly
satisfied that no series Of crimes are
to be charged against the manage
ment.
But the investigation will be of
great benefit as unconvering the true
conditions at the hospital, over
crowded conditions which the State
should have remedied long ago.

SOLDIERS ARE BAD.
Grave Charges Made Against Amer
can Troops in Philippines.

The statement of an American
soldier, hospital apprentice of the
first class, may throw some light
on the reason why the American SOL
diers, especially THE paivates. are
so fiercely hated by the Philippines.
According to Stanley's disclosures it
is the habit of a great many of the
privates to contract temporary mar
riages with Philippine women, liv-
ing with them until their enlistment
expires and then deserting them
when they return to the United
States. The native men, Stanley as
serts are afarid the Americans Will
steal their women.
While some of the American SOL
diers have legally married Philip
Dino women, it is the declaration OF
Stanley, that the majority only take
5hem las 'tmatrimonids." This is
nothing more nor less than a license
TO live with a Philippine woman as
long as you wish, provided you sup
port her. 1t is not necessary to take
her in public or to introduce her as
your wife.
These "matrimonies,' Stanley
SAYS. can be obtained from justice
of the peace When the soldier
enlistment expires. he can return
home and leave his "matrimony' be-
hind. In the eyes Of the law he has
committed no offeEse. Many or the
soldiers who are leading this kind
of life have wives and children in
the United States, but this does not
seem to deter them. They even go
so far as to spend all their money
on their "matrimonies" and leave
their families in America In want.

Put in a Position to Revise.

The debate on the tariff is getting
warm in the Senate at Washington.
On Friday Mr.. Clapp, Republican
Senator from Minnesota, commented
upon the policy of protection, and re-
ferred to distinctions between pro-
tective tariff and a tariff for reve-
nue. only.
The promise of the Republican
party, Mr.. Clapp declared, was that
the tariff should be revised down
ward, and he asserted that this prom
Use had been made in response to a
positive demand. He said that the
position on the part Of the protec-
tive interests was that we should let
well enough alone, and on the part
of the consumers that the tarlff
should he revised.
"You can't tell me-" he said, that
the latter demand did not mean that
the tariff should be revised down.
ward. To take any other position
is mere boys play, nothing less than
a farce, and if I did not believe the
duties were to be lowered in response
to this execution, I would pack my
grin and go home, for as a Senator
/ am not required to participate IN
such a farce as the mere re-enact-
ment of the Dingley rates. The peo-
ple understood that>we were to nave
q revision downward; the men VINO
made the platform understood it;
we understood it; everybody under
stood it. and no amount of sophistry
can otherwise explain the popular
demand and the party promise.
eff this promise" he said, was
for a revision that would mean the
maintenance of the Dingley rates,
then we are confronted by the ridicu-
lousness of the Chief Executive call
ing Congress together to revise some
thing that should stand unchanged
until the end Of time.
"When the people made the de-
mand for tariff revision downward
there was no suggestion that these
industries were not sufficiently pro-
+ected. If the demand for revision
did not mean changing the duties
downward it did not mean anything
and we are indulging in a farce
now"
He declared that II Congress
sbould fail now to lower the tariff
rates. the Democratic party would
be put in position to so revise IT TWO
years hence.
