TIME FOR HIS DEPARTURE
AS Close Friend Knew, That Frame of
! Mind Was Not Apt to Be
Lasting One.

Ben. T. Rice and Hymen Levy, both
now dead, were two of the real old
Virginia characters in a small Pied
mont county seat town; Ben was the
keeper of the town inn and Hymen,
genuine Jew, ran a store. Ben was
noted for profanity, drinking and gam
bling and telling unheard of yarns.
Hymen was a daily visitor at the inn
to get his dram, and at times became
thoroughly shocked at Ben'S outra-
geous language and manners. Ben,
one evening. joined the town boys in
an exciting game of football on Main
street, became overheated, and, COOL
ing off too quickly, went into pneu-
monia at night. Several physicians
attended him, who soon pronounced
his case hopeless. A dozen or more
of Ben's friends, among them Hymen,
were standing around the bed just be-
fore Ben's spirit took its flight from
earth, when Ben uttered a long groan
and said: "Oh, Lord, have mercy on
me-" At this moment Hymen turned
his head slowly and remarked: THE
good Lord ought to take Ben right
now, for he never will be SO good no
more"

Londan, May 1.-THE King is
dead! Long live the King!" The
transition from Edward VII. to George
VII. as King of Great Britain and Ire
land and Emperor of Indian is now
complete.
King George was formally proclaim
ed as successor to the throne at 4
O'Clock. The ceremony was an i'm
pressive one, occurring in the throne
room of ST. James palace in the pres
ence of the privy council under the
presidency of the Earl of Crewe.
The mourning features were for the
time being set aside, and King George
appeared in the uniform of an admiral,
while the distinguished gatherings of
privy councillors and officers of the
court were in levee dress amu wore the
regalia and decorations of their high
orders.
The proclamation of kingship was a
sonorous document, comforting upon
the new sovereign all the attributes
of ruler which his father had pos
sessed. The response of King George
was marked by deep emotion as he
solemnIy affirmed his purpose to full
fill to the best of his ability the great
trust reposed in him.

On the death of Queen Victoria.
January %. 1901. Edward succeeded to
the throne. The coronation was set
for June &c. 1902. and all preparations
for the magnificent event had been
completed when disquieting rumors of
the kings i'll health. which had been
current for several days. were con-
frmed by the postponement of the
ceremony. 1t was announced that the
king was suffering from perityphlitis.
and on June "a he underwent an OPP
Grafton. After some weeks of the
greatest anxiety he recovered. and
the coronation took place August 8.
During the long years of his prince
hood Edwards public duties consisted
solely in the Office Of representing the
royal family at all manner of public
events, and he performed these du-
ties well. But the deadly monotony
of such a life was too much for the
vigorous man. and he found relaxa-
ton in amusep1ents that frequently
gave rise to scandals and that gave
the world a wrong impression of his
real character. He was especially
fond of the theater and among his
boon companions for years were az
tresses and actors. Also he devel-
oped great liking for Paris and often
| visited that gay capital incognito
But all this, as has been said, was
only his relaxation. and after coming
to the throne his conduct always was
so circumspect that not the most cap
tious critic could find any fault with it.
AS a diplomat Edward was unexcel-
led among the monarchs of Europe.
His influence was always thrown to
the side of international peace where
compatible with national honor. and
his advice and example had a steady
ing effect on all Europe. He looked
with amused tolerance on the va
carries and extravagances of his neph-
ew, the emperor of Germany, but &C.

In our exploitation of the west and
southwest tie south" has been large
ly neglected, but 1t has not been for
gotten, and recuperation has now
started new development. Tho south
is coming into its own again and is at
tracing both wealth and energy from
other quarters. while its home produc-
ton has assumed IL value enormous
proportions, says Omaha Bee. The la
test feature in this development is the
establishment of experimental farms
in many southern states for educa-
tional purposes along scientific lines.
The south is ambitious and is omit
ting no effort to secure the best and
most up-to-date methods and equip
ment for the full utilizing CT its re-
sources. The climate and the soil of
the south are suited to a marked de-
gree to the development of agricultural
pursuits. Richer soil is to be found in
but few places. Timber abounds, the
summer season is long. the rainfall is
plentiful and everything that nature
can put at the disposal of country to
make it agriculturally productive is
there.

new RULER ASCENDS THRONE
Pneumonia Following Bronchitis is
Cause of Death-Was in Tenth
Year of His Reisn-FuneraI
To Be Held May II.

London, May king Edward VII.
who returned to England from vaca-
ton ten days ago in the best of health,
died at 11:45 o'clock last night in the
presence of his family, after an i'll
ness of less than a week, which was
serious hardly more than three days.
Pneumonia, following bronchitis, is
believed to have been the cause of
death, but doctors thus far have re-
fused to make a statement. Some of
the kings friends are convinced that
worry over the critical political situa.
ton, which confronted him with sleep
less nights, aggravated if it did not
cause the fatal illness.
The intelligence that the end of
King Edwards reign had come was
not a surprise at the last. The peo-
pie had been expecting to hear it any

to such an extent that he could not
refrain from giving him some stern
advice. Such admonition was not re-
ceived by William in submissive
spirit, and once in a while there were
sensational rumors that the peaceful
relations between the two countries
we're about to be ruptured.
The development of the kings char
acter in his later years was especially
gratifying to the nation. In addition
to the love of his people, which he
had always had, he gained their ad-
miration and respect. They had the
utmost confidence in his good judg-
ment, as was amply exemplifed dur
ing the late crisis over the budget,
and they were always sure he would
do the right thing at the right time.
To Edward and Alexandra were
born six children. The first, Prince
Albert. duke of Clarence, died in 1892.
aged twenty-eight years. The second,
George Frederick Ernest Albert. born
on June 8, 1865, succeeds to the

mark, and Prince Alexander John,

taste of college life, he was sent for

these years he acquired a wide gen.

posted at Buckingham palace and
flashed throughout the kingdom. The
capitol received it without excitement
but sadly, for the king with his own
people was unquestionably one of the
most popular rulers in the world.
They regarded him as one of the
strongest forces making for the sta
bility of the peace of the empire.
All who knew the king expected his
death would be sudden and it would
not have occasioned great surprise if
it had occurred without warning at
some social function, as a result of
heart trouble. Almost to the end he
refused to take to his bed and was
sitting up yesterday in large chair,
so the palace stories go, corroborating
the descriptions of him as an unruly
patient, which DR.. OFT gave to Vienna

Some of the possibilities when crial
navigation becomes common and gen.
eral are suggested by a reIeA. per-
Torrance at-or above-the frontier
between the United States and Mexi-
CO. A man in flying machine made
half dozen or more tips back and
forth between the two countries. and
the customs officers OF both nations
looked on and were powerless to inter
fere with him. The aviator made no
attemp. at smuggling. but had he been
SO inclined he could have carried goods
subject to duty and dehed the laws.
Obviously there is likely to be some
sort of international understanding re-
garding the use of airships which pass
from one country to another.
