Senator Simmons has at all times
demanded equal and exact justice
In the leyying Of ,tar.n burdens and
the comforting OF It's benefits upon
the products Of all sections and cal
lings OF the people. He has not con-
scented that North CarolIna's pro-
ducts should be put upon the free
list, while the products OF other Sec
lions which North Carolina has To
buy were highly protected. He has
not consented that the products or
the farm should come into cometI-
ton with all the world, while pro-
iectlve, and In most cases prohibit
tive. duties we're levied upon the
products OF the trusts which the
farmers have to buy. in many in
stances at higher prices than for

lean trust-made goods. He stands
for the same treatment In tarifh le-
gislation OF the products OF North
Carolina as OF those OF other sec
tons. and for the same treatment
OF farm products as the products OF
other callings OF our people. This
constitutes his chief SHINING with
bis critics. In my opinion and. I
believe in the opinion OF the great
majority Of our people, it's one OF
the chief reasons why he should be
reelected.

HE EyADEp THE LAW.
How One Man Committed Suicide
Back In the Days OF Henry vi

now Onc Wan OOmmlttcu SUICIDE
Back In the Days OF Henry vi
Suicides often adopt ingenious
methods. The modern case of a
heavily insured broker who on a
feigned hunting trip stood barelegged
in quagmire for hours and willful-
ly contracted a fatal pneumonia Il
matched in cleverness by one many
years old.
The following facts are well vouch-
ed for and indeed we're never ques-
toned. says the Green Bag. Sir Will
liam Hankford, judge Of tie Kings
bench In the reigns of Edward Ill,
Henry Nv, Henry v and Henry vi,
and at the time of his death chief
justice OF England, was man of
melancholy temperament.
He seems to have contemplated
suicide the greater part OF his long
life and during his later years the
idea became fixed purpose. This
act was Of peculiarly serious CON
sequence In those days for the reason
that the law treated 1t as a capital
crime. The offender was buried at
the cross roads, with a stake driven
through his body. and all his goods
and property were forfeited to the
crown, to the utter ruin of his family
Hankford made good use of his
wits and succeeded in accomplishing
his purpose without mourning either
unpleasant penalty. He gave open
instructions to his gamekeeper. who
had been troubled with poachers In
the deer preserve, to challenge all
trespassers in the future and to shoot
to kill If they would not stand and
give an account.
One dark night he purposely
crossed the keepers path and upon
challenge made motions of resist
ance and escape. The faithful SER
want, failing to recognize his master,
followed instructions TO the letter,
as was expected of him, and Sir
William fell dead in his tracks. The
whole truth OF the affair was COM
mon knowledge but II was i'm
possible to establish case of suicide
by legal proof. The servant was pro-
tected by his instructions. Hankford
had honorable burial and his estate
passed TO those whose interests as
heirs he had so wisely considered.

would be given to all who de-
sired to take a final view of the

five hundred people passed the

preceded to the open grave
where the final services were
conducted by the Odd Fellows
in the rendering of the beauti-
full and impressive ritual ser.
vice of the order led by Noble
Grand. A. Burke, assisted by
Rev. George Campbell, pastor
of tile Baptist church.
Why did so many people as
seniale on this occasion? Why
die me BUSINESS men close their
stores during the time of this
service? The answer is very
simple. Everybody who knew
him respected and esteemed d.
M. Harris, because of his purity
Of character and unselfish de-
volt m to the interests of others.
His life and the expressions of
admiration by his friends and
neighbors should be an inspira-
ton to all of us to so live that
when the time comes that we
are to be consigned to the grave
that our friends and neighbors
may honor US by such express
sions of confidence and love.
The familiar form of D. M.
Harris will not be seen on our
streets but in the invisible form
of his pure character he will
still be with us and have his
place among us.
