James N. Herring.
Written for THE COMMONWEALTH.

Written for THE COMMONWEALTH
We are again called on to chroni-
cal the death of one of our citizens.
This time it was one of our choice
young men that death has claimed.
Truly in the midst. of life are we in
the midst Of death. On last Satur-
day evening, July 23rd., James Her
ring died in a hospital in Washing
ton, N. c., whittier he had been
taken for treatment. His last sick
ness was of about two weeks dura-
ton and his death brings shock to
the community. He was rs years,
2 months and days Old at the time
Of his death.
Ten years ago he united with
the Baptist church and was ever
afterward faithful to his church
and Sunday school.
Three months ago he was united
in marriage to Miss Sadie Baggett
and his unexpected death brings to
her the unbounded sympathy of her
many friends.
Mr.. Herring leaves his wife, moth
err, two brothers, four sisters, other
relatives and many friends to mourn
his loss.
James Herring was model young
man. He was gentle, devout, true
and loving as a son, husband, broth
err, christian and church member.
May his wholesome influence abide
behind him to make us better and to
draw US heavenward. In his sick
ness he often said he must die and
lamented the fact that he must leave
| his loved ones but at the same time
he cheered us by saying he was go
| ing to be with Jesus. May we be
able thus to testify when we come
to our end!
The funeral took place from his
mothers residence in East Scotland
Neck at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The services were conducted at the
grave by Rev. R. M. Mcfarland as
sisted by Rev. C.. A. Jones and his
body was placed in the Baptist GENE
terry to await the Resurrection
morn. May the grieved ones have
divine comfort.

Baptist Pastor Resigns.

Rev. r. A. Mcfarland has tender.
ed his resignation as pastor of the
Scotland Neck Baptist church and it
was accepted by the congregation
Sunday night. Mr.. Mcfarland will
go to the work at Suffolk, Va,
about September LIST.
There is general regret through
out the town and community that
Mr.. Mcfarland is to leave us. He
is held in the very highest esteem
by all the people, and is popular
both as a preacher and citizen. His
going away is not only felt in this
community, burt it falls heavily upon
the Roanoke Association and the
State at large.
The best wishes of all the people
will go with Mr.. and Mrs. McFar-
land to their new home at Suffolk.

Urges Constitutional Amendment.

Governor Norris continued by say
ing that Montana led all states in reg
ulations for stock and horses. He then
stated that for development of the
fruit interest in this valley, strict reg
ulations for the inspection of tree dis
eases were paramount. To do this re-
quires money, and the state at this
time is hampered by lack of funds
He showed that the amount available
for the running of the state govern
ment for the coming year will be less
than before. He then introduced the
amendment that is to be before the
people at the coming elction and urged
every one to support it with their
votes. He cited that it had been ap-
proved in the platform of each party
and was a matter entirely out of poll
tics.

NATATOR|UM WOULD Be
PROFITABLE
RAVALLI HOT SPRINGS RESORT
WOULD RETURN BIG INTER.
EST ON INVESTMENT.

1nat an annual return of Is per cent
on an investment of 100000 would
follow the construction of the Ravalli
natatorium was reported last night at
a~meeting of business men to consid-
er the feasibility of the project. Be-
yond general agreement that the in
vestment would be highly profitable
nothing resulted.
Nearly year ago J. O. Read, owner
of the Ravali hotel, conceived the pro-
gressive idea of piping water from
Sleeping Child springs to natatorium
to be built in connection with the Ra-
valli. The benefit of. the project to
the town was quickly realized by lead
ing Hamilton business men, and it was
encouraged. An option on the springs
was secured pending developments.
An effort has been made recently to
bring the proposition to head. Mrs.
DAILY offered donation of $4,000. Mr.
Read himself offered to spend $25,00O
more, and the plan was to raise an
additional $4,000 by public subscrip-
tion. Then 100000 was to be raised
by bonding, the total cost being esti-
mated at 100000
The natatorium, if built, will mean
the construction of a large annex to
the hotel, containing about 70 guest
chambers, a large inclosed plunge,
mineral and shower baths. The re-
sort, it is believed, would attract many
visitors both summer and winter, as
the lure of Bitter Root climate and
scenery would be an additional attrac-
ton.
Mr.. Read announced last night that
the project will probably not be mads
a cooperative one, but, If successful,
will be put through by private cor
poration.

=" GREATEST MAN IN THE
WORLD" SPEAKS
IHOMAS HENRY CARTER-THINK
OF IT-OPENS REPUBLICAN
CAMPAIGN HERE.

There is, of course, only one great
lest man in the world" and until Sat
urday night, when Perry Baker, alway.
conservative of statement, presented
Thomas Henry Carter (sch-h-h-h) as
that man, the great, anxious public
wasn't exactly sure who he was.
Mr.. Carter, chin whiskers, oily
tongue and all, was here to open the
republican campaign With all his old
time suavity and cleverness, all his
skill as political magician. he ap-
peared at the Lucas opera house and
talked entertainingly and exhaustive
ly OF the pleasantries Of politics.
Few platform speakers have anything
on the Hon. Thomas Henry, B. S.,
which degree, as every schoolboy
knows, means bachelor of science and
IS gained by intimate experience in the
political game.
Mr.. Carter's mission is that of the
magician, purely. 1t is his allotted
task to cast bright hue on republi-
can prospects in Montana this fall, and
he has accepted it resignedly. To
cover up record of treachery to the
peoples interests, of servitude to the
corporations, of utter, hopeless stand
pattism Of the Aldrich stripe, is a bit
OF job, but Carter isn't the man to
finch under strain; he has the nerve.
sclonable amount of effrontery to
stand before an intelligent audience
and say one word in defense of Con-
gresham Pray, but Carter did it. The
actual truth, There is a very general
impression among even partisan re-
publlcans that of all political sneaks
and jellyfish in this free, fair land,
Montana's lone congressman is he.
Mr.. Pray grew weakened in the
closing days of the last campaign and
pledged himself, unasked, to vote
against Cannon and Cannonism. When
the test came he not only voted for
Uncle Joe, but he voted with him
throughout the session, and even when
the opportunity came to oust him Pray
stood by the old man. And Carter
with amazing temerity, indorsed this
record of treachery and cowardice and
gained deserved rank among the
worlds eXemplars of human bravery.
Carter drew a good crowd Friends
and enemies alike flocked to hear him.
He is good vaudeville attraction. He
can talk Interestingly and endlessly-
his longest record for a speech is IA
hours. Under his exterior calmness
he holds great fear of direct primar-
les. He is haunted by tormenting
phantoms of representative govern
ment. He fears the people quite as
much as they fear him. He has
fondness for political chicanery, pack
ed legislatures, kerosene and copper.
He fairly dotes on corporations.
He poses as a perennial example of
merit unappreciated, Of devoted serv-
ice scorned, of patriotism patient and
perplexed
This is Carter.

Montana Day.

Saturday was Montana day, under
which designation visitors from ev-
erywhere could mingle with an equal
proprietary interest Governor Norris
was the speaker of the day and was
heard with great interest.
Governor Norris addressed the peo-
pie from the judges stand. He was
introduced by President Tiedt of the
fair commission. The governor open
ed his address by apologizing for bad
cold, which interfered with his talk
ing. He then remarked that the cold
was not caught in the Bitter Root val
ley.
Il want to congratulate the people
of this valley upon one attribute that
does much to assure scucess, that is,
pride in your valley" continued Mr..
Norris, ''for | know of no section that
is SO richly endowed. | want to con-
graduate you for living in valley
with every possibility for success"

1ad Roads.


He scored the people of Missoula
and Ravalli counties for the condition
of the highways. AS | came up the
valley by automobile this morning"
he said, Il was impressed with the
disgraceful condition of the roads. |
tell you the road is a disgrace to Ra-
valli and Missoula counties. With the
few exceptions to roads, found near
Victor and on the Lolo grade, it is a
disgrace. With a good boulevard down
both sides of the valley to Florence
and one from there to Missoula, land
values would jump 25 per cent. l
think that Montana wastes two-thirds
OF its appropriation for road purposes
by aimless work on the highways"
In closing Senator Dixon spoke of
his pleasure in being with the people
at the fair, and cordially invited all
to come with their red apples, big
pumpkins and other exhibits to the
apple show at Missoula.
Senator Dixon was listened to at
tentively throughout his address,
which he said was merely a personal
talk, and he was heartily cheered at
the close of his remarks.

Bitter Root Satisfying.

Referring again to the valley, he in
formed the people that they had moth
ing to. complain Of "a man who is
dissatisfied with the Bitter Root valley
would find fault with heaven itself, .
said Governor Norris. "He who lives
in Montana is thrice blessed, and you
of the Bitter Root valley have many
reasons to be thankful"
Like Senator Dixon the speaker laid
stress on the value of good roads. He
impressed upon the people, the necs-
