Mrs. Mary D. Monroe Dead.

The community was deeply
grieved by the sad tidings of the
death of Mrs. Mary D. Monroe
which occurred at her residence
in Rockingham, Tuesday morn
ing at $50 o'clock, after an ill.,
ness of only four or five days.
From the first her friends had
but faint hope of her recovery,
as at her age pneumonia is gen.
orally fatal.
Mrs. Monroe was born in
Montgomery county, but spent
some years of her early life with
All uncle at Wake Forest, where
with the faculty of which he was
a member, she had unusual cul-
turaa advantages. Of these she
was not slow to avail herself.
She afterwards attended school
at Salem College, where she COM
pleted her literary training.
While still in the bloom of
youth she was married to Mr..
Calvin Monroe, who died eight
years ago.
In her girlhood she made a.
profession of Faith in Christ.
and united with the Baptist
church at Laurel Hill, Montgorn-
cry county, of which she was a
devoted member till the Master
called her to come up higher.
Her success in training so many
child1ea for places of usefulness
in the church and elsewhere bear
testimony to her sterling worth
as a Christian.
Two brothers, one sister and
seven children survive her.
Messrs. CASTOR and Marshal
Monroe, Messrs. Henry and Alex
Monroe, Mesdames Claude Polk
and D. L. Coppedge, and Misses
Pat, Carrie and Mamie Monroe.
The interment was at Eastside
cemetery Wednesday afternoon,
and was attended by a large
concourse of sorrowing friends.

SUPERIOR COURT
Civil term, Judge B. F. Long,
of Statesville, presiding.

The December term of Rich
mond county Superior court con
vened Monday at 10 a. m, with
Judge B. F. Long, of Statesville
presiding.
The first case to be tried by
jury was that of the S. A. L. Ry
VS.. J. R. Henderson. The matter
is for the ejectment of Henderson
from a small tract of land lying
west of the Seaboard station in
Hamlet, on which once stood the
Happy Hooligan" saloon. The
case was begun Monday at 2::3O
but at four o'clock Wednesday
Judge Long, deciding that the
dispute was of such nature that
a referee could better handle the
case, ordered a juror withdrawn
and a mistrial Mr.. S. F. Nor
decai, Dean of the law depart
ment of Trinity College, was
selected as Referee, and the mat
ter will be resumed in the early
spring. Appearing for plaintiff in
the trial here this week we're
Mcintyre, Lawrence and Proctor,
of Lumberton, Jno. D. Bellamy,
of Wilmington, and M. w. Nash,
of Hamlet; the defendant was
represented A. M. Stack, of Mon
roe, Kelly & Boggan, and w.
Steele Lowdermilk.
A number of cases were clear
ed from the docket by compro-
mise.
A case of much interest locally
was concluded Tuesday when
Judge Long, reviewing the find
ing of the Referee appointed at a
previous term of court, found as
a fact that A. D Dumas was not
entitled to recover anything from
the Trustees of the Presbyterian
Church. The plaintiff YVES repre-.
sented BY w. R, Jones and ]. T.,
Bennett, and T. L. Caudle, Of
Wadesboro; the defendants by
F. W. Bynum, H. S. Boggan and
Ozmer L. Henry.
The suit of the Commissioners
of Montgomery county against
the Commissioners of Richmond
county was ended Monday. The
Montgomery officials instituted
suit against Richmond county to
recover about $500 expended in
caring for a pauper, one DC.
tavia Long. The court found
that Montgomery county was en-
titled to recover only $24, the
decision practically substantial
ing the claims of Richmond
county. Representing the neigh.
boring county to the north was
Chas A. Armstrong, of Troy,
and w. R. Jones; and Ozmer L.
Henry represented Richmond
county.
Another case compromised
was that of Mrs. A. A. Williams
against Fl. L. Guthrie, trustee,
and A. A. Williams bankrupt.
The compromise was for $500.
W. R. Jones appeared for plant.
iff and Ozmer L. Henry for de.
fendant.
The case of Will Chavis VS.. J.
F. Chapel was begun this morn
ing. He is suing to have his chill
dren admitted to the white school
of Black Jack township. 1t was
tried about a year or so ago, re-
sulting in a mistrial.
By consent of the attorneys,
the Judge appointed Attorney
R. c. Lawrence, of Lumberton,
as Referee and Arbitrator, to
handle about one hundred small
civil cases that have been pend
ing for quite a while. Mr.. Law
renee will come here the latter
part of January and it is expect
ed he can dispose of these cases
n Two weeks. Such action will
vastly tighten the heretofore con.
gested docket.

Mining In Biblical Times.

The operations for mining as known
to the early Hebrews are given in the
twenty-eighth chapter of Job. The de-
scription is highly poetical. In Egypt
the mines for gold were worked by
groups Of convicts and captives in fet-
ters. The harder rocks were broken
by hre, after which picks and chsels
were used. The miners were quite
naked, as are the negroes of today who
work in the diamond mines of South
Africa.

NINE DOLLARS PER CAPITA.

1t may tire some Catholics to be so
often reminded of what the Protes-
tants are doing, but at this critical
time in the history of our missions
there is an especial point to such re-
minders. Pagans are becoming more
and more attracted by the benefits of
Christianity. Many of these benefits
are temporal as well as spiritual.
Having lost their prejudice they will
turn to the Christians who have most
to offer. AS an illustration in ques-
ton: The Adventists are not large

from Protestant magazine shows
their attitude toward foreign mis-
''The Seventh-Day Adventists report
remarkably high per capita gifts to
their missionary work-namely, $9.0S
per member. The principal denomi-
nations usually count their people
generous if they give an average of
$500 per member to foreign missions
and $500 per member to all benev-
olences.
"The Seventh-Day Adventists show
an income of $706,293 from North
America. They have 1873 missionaries
in foreign fields, and these employ III
languages and dialects in their work.
