attendance at the republican rally at

reception given the speaker indicated
that the republicans are wide awake,
and the democrats have no hope Of
republican apathy helping them in
the contest. John E. Wood of Blue

from the Ellsworth, Surry and Blue

to be J. D. York, was taken to the
Jail and lodged for. the night. He
was in a crazed condition, and little
information could be gained from
him. This morning his mind seemed
clearer, and Sheriff Wescott believes
the man is from some place near At
lanta, Georgia. He is about forty
five years Of age and of light COM
plexion. 1t seems that he has had
employment in the pulp woods
through a labor agency in Bangor,
but just how he came here is mys-

up the whole town, if one of his air
messages had advised him to. He

SAMUEL G. C0LLn
DIES IN DENVER

Mrs. Levin j. Kelley was appraised
by telegraph Monday night of the
death of her brother, Mr.. Samuel
Guthrie Collins, who passed away at
his home in Denver, Colorado, at
noon Monday. The news came as a
great shock TO Mrs. Kelley, although
she had known Of his serious illness,
and had been advised that the end
was rapidly approaching.
A year ago last August, Mr.. Collins
returned to Denver from a trip in
the east suffering with an affection
of the heart, known as a leaking
heart" He grew steadily worse, his
life for weeks hanging by a slender
thread until finally severed by the
Great Reaper, and his soul passed to
his God, Who gave it.
Mr.. Collins was the son Of the late
Lemuel P. Collins and Phoebe White
Collins, his wife. He was born in
Yazoo City, Mississippi, February
9th, 1916, and would have reached his
seventy-sixth birthday next month.
His mother died while he was quite
young. after which his father return
ed to Snow Hill. where he married
Miss Sallie +. Purnell, who became
a mother to the motherless boy.
When about twenty-one years of
age Mr.. Collins followed the spirit
of the time, and went west, locating
in Denver, where he was one of the
pioneers in the settlement of that
fourishing city. He was engaged in
the banking business in Denver for
a number of years, but was obliged
to sever his relations on account of
threatened nervous breakdown.
Leaving Denver he sought to regain
his health by life in the open, and
went 10 Leadviiie, Col, where he To-
Gated silver mine, the Bangkok
Cora Belle. He afterwards returned to
Denver, where he devoted his entire
time until his death 10 conducting and
managing stock brokerage business.
Mr.. Collins married Miss Emily
Browning, of Brooklyn, New York, by
whom he is survived. He is also
survived by three children: Howard
Browning Collins, of Missouri; Wal
ter Guthrie Collins, of California; and
Miss Edna White Collins, Of Denver.
Mrs. Levin J.Kelley, of Snow Hill, is
his only surviving sister, and Thomas
P. Collins. of Baltimore, and Sewell
Collins, of Chicago, his surviving
brothers.
Funeral services were held at his
late residence in Denver, and inter
ment was made in the family burial
lot in that city.
