livered at the memorial meeting
in Greenville in honor of the
late Senator Z. B. Vance, on Sat-
April
MAJOR. L. C LATHAM.
When. Mr. Chairman, the Pal-
lid Messenger, whose summons
admits of no denial, and brooks
no delay, beckoned with
torch the junior Senator of North
Carolina from the scenes of earthly
life to the glories of a limitless
future, the State, that loved him
and that he loved so well, suffered
an loss. Would that
it had been possible as in the
days of the Passover to have
sprinkled his door posts with
blood, that the Angel of Death
might have passed them
But an AH wise God, from whose
edict there is no appeal, and to
which we must bow in humble
submission, had decreed other-
wise and Senator Vance has pass-
ed the sea which
rates what we know of Time from
what we dream or dread of
Eternity.
There is a belief existing
among the people of the East that
from the hour of our birth to the
moment our An-
gel of Death, silent and unseen, is
following in our foot-
steps, distant, some-
times near, but always pursuing;
and we may well believe that the
Senator had Ions rested in the
very shadow of the fate that
overtook him and that his
quick ear had detected the
nous footfall behind him. But
ability would have
won him and made
him the foremost man of his day.
Had he been a member of that
I body during the stormy scenes
that resulted over the
of the Federal Election law,

been no limit to the possibilities
of his future. Senator Vance
was essentially a brave man.

and with the shadow of death
falling aslant was as firm
and undaunted in the
of what he believed to be his
duty as in the days of his youth-
health and vigor, and although
he saw the approach of the grim
and terrible monster I doubt,
whether, aside from the
shrinking from pain, that is in-
born in our humanity, he
bled at the approach of the King
of Terrors. His course run, every
duty of a long and laborious life
faithfully preformed, he laid it
down with the dignity befitting
the great man and great states-
man he was.

rests in the bosom of the
that saw his birth, guarded
by the forests whose whispering
breeze, were his first and
by tho stars that
watched over his
career. Some day Dot far dis-
a suitable memorial will be
erected by a grateful people to
his memory, but no chisel need
inscribe thereon his deeds and
his virtues. They are the
great pleasure to be one of those
by whose votes he was elected as
Senator from North Carolina to
the United States Congress
1879, a position to which he had
formerly elected but not
lowed to fill on account of the
sectional feeling against him in
the North growing out of his
selfish love and devotion to his
own Southland, and standing be-
fore those who had again honor-
ed him and in honoring him had
honored themselves and the
State that gave him birth, with
his hair whitening as he him-
self expressed it the snow
that never he renewed his
vows of fealty to North Carolina
and it can now be said and truly
said that he was faithful to every
vow, true to every promise and
mindful of every interest of his
people. Zebulon B- Vance's
course in life is one that needs
no apologists no defenders. He
is gone but his influence will ever
be felt and although he is dead
still lives in the hearts of his
and to-day he is
mourned by thousands of his fol-
low citizens who meet together to
honor his memory. The greatest
Statesmen North Carolina has
ever produced now sleeps his

May his example be followed by
this and other generations. May

Mr- Chairman, I cannot permit
this memorial service to cease
without adding a sincere, simple
plain tribute, to the memory
of Zeb Vance, the late idol of
North Carolina.
If I possessed the power to
clothe my thoughts suggested by

language. I should nevertheless
from choice employ the simplest
words at my command to convey
to my people my personal sorrow
and my country's grief at the loss
of so good, so wise and so great
a man.

Senate last Thursday and duly
sworn in as a member of that
body. the oath was ad
ministered he had to hold up his
left hand, his right arm having
hung useless by his side since
the wounds received on the bat-
field in 1864. There are very
few papers in the entire State
but what have expressed in strong
editorials their hearty approval
of Senator appointment
declaring him to be the ablest
and best man who have
been chosen for the position-
Even many editors in other States
have so expressed themselves
over his appointment. His first
official act after being sworn in
was to tender his clerkship to Mr.
Charles N Vance, a son of the
late Senator Vance and the lat-
clerk.
Governors and ex-Governors
have the luck of getting
seats. Mr. Jarvis, of North
Carolina, affords the latest in
stance of this. Zeb Vance was
another ex-Governor. And the

FROM COUNTY-
The appointment of ex-Gov
Jarvis to succeed Senator Vance,
he being from the eastern
part of the State, the same section
in which lives Senator Ransom,
recalls some history which may
be familiar to many cf the old
inhabitants of not only Durham,
but the State.
The year 1840 was a
year and it was made
able between the Whigs and
Democrats by the cabin
cider That year
there were two Senators to be
sent from this State. Both of
these Senators were selected from
Orange county, of which Durham
county was then a part. These
Senators were W. A. Graham and
Wiley P- Mangum. The Con-
from this district was
Dr. William Montgomery, and he
was also from this same county
of Orange. Another remarkable
incident about it was that Jim-
Carmichael, tailor living at-good of the people must be kept
Hillsboro, took their measures at high above the interest of any in-
I was told by him that there
would be no joint canvass and
that I had been selected to travel

small town, having four stores,
but they do a very large business
and it bids fair to a place
of much importance. The main
industry of the town is the plant

in fact this company owns the
entire site of the town, have laid
it off nicely and built a number
of handsome houses, and have a
capital of invested there.
They have one of the best equip-

visited in the State, and their
shipments are immense- Mr. W.
H. Cook, the engineer, was
very pleasant in giving us
about the work. We are
also indebted to Mr. E. L- White

Odd Fellows Celebration.
On last Thursday Covenant
Lodge No. I. O. F., of this
place celebrated the 75th Anni-
of tho establishment of
Odd Fellowship in America. Tho
day was all that could be asked
and everything seemed propitious
for the success of the occasion.
Many visitors the surround-
county and villages were
present- All the neighboring
Lodges had invited to par-
in the festivities and the
Lodges at Bethel and Roberson-
ville wore present en The
Lodges all assembled at Odd
Hall at o'clock From
here they marched to the Opera
House
Lodge, Bethel Lodge and
Lodge. After as-
in the Opera House the
officers of the day, S- T. Hooker,
N- G., W. H- V. G., E.
A- Chap., D. L. James,
with P. Grands J. White
and Harry Skinner returned to
Hotel Macon to the
speaker of the day, Dr. J. J. Hall,
of Norfolk, Va., to the hall.
They returned promptly at
o'clock and were seated on the
rostrum. The meeting was then
called to order by the N. G- and
the beautiful and impressive An-
wore gone
through with participated in by
the N- G., V. G-, Chap, and
Col. Harry Skinner then came
forward and neat, well-timed,
well delivered words introduced
Dr. Hall. The speaker's appear-
and movement at once fas-
the attention of the
upon him and there was no
abatement either of attention or
interest until the last words had
fallen from his eloquent lips. Dr.
Hall after expressing the pleas-
it afforded him in being
among our people delivered
address upon the principles upon
which Odd Fellowship is founded.
It is founded upon the sacred
scriptures.
2- Upon the defenselessness of
man.
It the value of a
man.
4- Upon the universal brother-
hood of man.
Upon friendship, love and
truth-
The Lodge here had been
in the selection of its speak-
for Dr. Hall delivered ad-
dress which for elegance and
for the pathetic and the
grand, and for forcibleness and
beauty of illustration has rarely
ever been in this town-
This was truly illustrated by the
evident effect produced upon the
audience. The music arranged
in the ceremonies was furnished
by Miss Bessie White, presiding
at the organ, C- D. Rountree with
violin, Mrs- Georgia Pearce,
Miss Annie and Messrs.
R. L. Humber and Leon
Evans. All parts were Well
and added much to the in-
of the occasion. Just be-
fore the closing prayer by the
Chap-, P. G-, J. White announced
that a barbecue had been
prepared and was in waiting at
the Greenville Warehouse to
which all Odd Fellows, widows
and orphans, the Masonic
the Clergy and the Press
were invited. The procession
formed at the Opera House door
and marched to the warehouse,
where everything was truly found
in readiness. The dinner was
bountiful and well and
was indeed enjoyed to their
heart's content and satisfaction
by at least three hundred people.
We learn that too much cannot
be said in commendation of Mr.
G- M- Tucker for his untiring
fort in the securing and
of this most elegant barbecue-
Thus passed and closed this an-
day of Odd Fellowship
and we nothing in saying
that no occasion has passed more
pleasantly or profitably than this

jar or hitch from the beginning
to the close of the exercises, and
Covenant Lodge is to be
upon its success which it
so well deserves, being largely
composed of our best and most
respected citizens.

Greenville warehouse property

Fire at the Mills.
On last Friday evening, just as
most of the citizens were at sup
per, o'clock, the long
blowing tho whistle of the
Greenville Lumber Cos- saw mill,
Messrs. Hines Hamilton, pro-
was heard to vibrato
through the town and the long-
of it attracted attention and
inquiry disclosed the fact that the
mill was tire. Everybody was
startled and hasty steps soon
brought a throng of citizens to
the scene. It was found that the
planing mill had caught from
sparks that came from the smoke
stack of the saw mill and ignited
the roof near the sky-light and
almost before you could tell it, it
was one mass of flame- It burn-
ed very rapidly the heat was
intense- It was seen at once that
nothing could to save it,
and attention was directed to the
office, stables
k Cos. warehouse, where
was stored a large lot of guano.
Tho hostler at once went to the
stable to release the dumb
ho found tho horse and
mule were not there, but a yoke
of oxen were tied in their stalls.
He cut one loose it ran out,
getting severely tho hair
being all burned off and pieces of
flesh, either dropped off or he
mast have struck against some-
thing and tore it off. The other
ox, when the hostler stepped in
the stall, building being in a
light blaze and threatening to
collapse at any began to
rear plunged, and fell upon
him, it being so hot the hostler
crawled out from under the ox
ran to the door es-
caped with no damage, while the
poor ox swayed and fell and was
up. The mule was hitch-
ed to a post between the planing
mill and several box cars on the
switch and was consumed. Will-
hands were, the meantime,
assisting Mr. in removing
the from the warehouse,
the fire communicating from the
planing mill soon leveled it to
the ground- k
Co., only saved a part of their
guano and their loss estimated
about The dry kiln was in
danger, being situated
between the mill and the
saw mill, and caught lire at least
twenty-live times, but was put out
by citizens, both white and color-
ed, worked as men never
before. It was by super-
human effort that the kiln was
saved. Mr. Hamilton remarked
our presence, that he had seen
people tight tire all his but
for sticking qualities the Green-
ville folks beat them all. He says
tire can't run these people here-
The water supply was
able, two streams flowing from the
boilers a large reservoir near
by- The office where all the
books, papers, Ac. were kept was
also destroyed, but the effects
were saved. Mr. Hines was
cut by glass in bursting in
the front window, but is getting
along well. The planing mill,
stables and office were consumed
with all the machinery and a large
lot of dressed lumber in the plan-
mill, besides several car loads
the side track. The
saw mill was not damaged, but
the dry was damaged some
by tearing up a portion of the
roof to get to the fire on the in
side.
The Atlantic Coast Line's loss
was Four box cars stand-
on the side track in front of
the planing mill were consumed
also a car load of hay and one of
lime. The side track was burned
in several places. Their loss will
be about The passenger
train had just arrived and did
running box and flat
cars away from the tire. They
carried the car of limo down the
track and left it to burn up, it be-
impossible to it, then
took several cars to House's
In the meantime the wreck-
train from Conetoe had been
telegraphed for arrived, re-
moving the debt is of the car of
lime from the track and coming
up to Greenville about eleven
o'clock cleaned the track in front

Spraying Orchard Vineyards.
The general destruction of the fruit
I crop this year by the March freeze will
make fancy prices for those who have
teen able a part of their crops.
While the fruit of peaches, plums
and blackberries are nearly all destroy-
ed, of grapes we may still expect from
1-3 to 1-- average crop, and of late
apples and European pears a nearly full
crop.
Many fruit growers will
aged and think it not worth while to
fight fungi and insect this year. This
is very unwise even where there Is no
prospect of fruit for the present year.
If these pests are allowed to multiply
and spread without hindrance this year
they may get such a firm foothold in
an orchard or vineyard that it may take
to dislodge them. The more ten-
kinds of trees and vines are more
or less enfeebled by the frost and these
will be attacked with special virulence
by the posts. Unless aid is given by
the owner the pests may completely
destroy the attacked plants this season.
The only safe plan Is to start the spray-
as usual and keep it going as long as
any signs of noxious insects or fungi
appear. Fall directions for spraying
fruit trees and vines are given in
