Some Truths Concerning That Meeting?
Captain Hogers' .Speech.
According to an appointment pre?
viously made, Mayor S. E. Jones, ac?
companied by County Chairman M. M.
Rogers, addressed a meeting of the
votors of Bonsack Monday night at the
schoolhouse at that place. Upon arriv?
ing in Bonsack tho gentlemen from Roa
nokn found that services wero about to
be conducted in the Baptist Church
there by the pastor, Rev. W. W. Hamil?
ton, and a pleasant understanding was
reached by them that they should first
listen to the minister In the church, if
he would afterwatd como to the school
house and listen to the machine De?
mocracy .doctrine as laid down by Roa
noke's worthy orators.
Mayor Jones was tho first speaker on
the programme, and made an in?
teresting little talk to the voters of
Bonsack, which, to use the expression
of some who were there, "didn't carry
muoh weight."
The interesting feature of the occa?
sion was the rambling speech mado by
Capt. Mort. M. Rogers, county chairman
of the Damocratlc party. The worthy
captain had learned that there was a
strong Prohibition element at Bonsack,
which the machine would havo to com?
bat If they wished to carry the
precinct for the combine ticket, so he
started off by saying that McCartney
was not tho man he wanted o i tho
Democratic ticket, but that ho was
favorable to tho nomination of Haw?
kins. Men who heard him, and who
would ecorn to misrepresent a fact, con?
sidered his speech as a straightout
apology for Andrew McCartney being on
tho ticket, which was mado in order to
catch the Prohibition vote for at least a
part of tho ticket he advocated.
He utated that he was not a local
optionist, but favored Prohibition, but
that ho had dono more than any other
one man toward giving the people of the
county local option and that he was
largely Instrumental in the election of
Mr. Moftltt to the county judgship.
The captain also said that he was
serving his last term as county chair?
man, as ho did not propoao to bo under
tho lash any longor. Ho would not
accept tho chairmanship again, as there
was no pay in It.

At a meeting ( r ihe board et direotprs
of the Iron Hut Building and Loan As?
sociation Lold Octitnr H the death of
Jotan Ott, the lato secretary of rha as?
sociation, wir, announoed, and a com?
mittee, consisting cf C A. McHugh, S.
W. Jamison and J. C Davenport, was
appointed to draft appropriate resolu?
tions In resptct tberoio. The commit?
tee reported tho following preamble and
resolutions, which were adopted:
"WhcroaB it has pleased Almighty
Ood to remove from his sphere of earthly
usefulness, Col. John Ott, the secretary
of this association, it is deemed proper
that those associated with him in tho
management of said association should
place upon record the high appreciation
which they had for the otllcer and the
man.
?'Col. Ott, whllo a mere stripling,
began his business career in tho
Treasury Department at Washington.
Native merit and application to his
duties rapidly advanced him until at the
breaking out of tho civil war he occupied
a ohlet clerkship in that department,
ills prospects in life wore then bright,
indeed, but he relinquished all without
hesitation and hastened to Richmond
to share the fortunes of his native land.
"In the dark and trying days of the
civil war, whether In the administrative
department of the Confederacy as as?
sistant to Mr. Momrainger and tho
gifted Trenholrr!, or whothsr in tho
field, he surved with rnual courage and
?dollty.
"Alter the war ho continued in busi?
ness in Richmond until failiog health
compelled him to seek tho more con^o
nlal climate of Rianolto. Shortly aftor
hiB arrival here the Iron Bslt Building
and Loan Association was organiz3d ana
he became its first socretary. This
ofllco he continuously and acceptably
filled until the time of his death, dis?
charging its onerous duties with tho
same ability, zoal and fidelity that ever
characterized his business and ofllolal
life. Duty was tho hinge upon whlc?
his every action turned. Lofty in char?
acter; pure in life; faithful to every
trust; loyal in his friendships; affable,
courteous and considerate to all with
whom be came into contact, bis lifo il?
lustrated the quality of hiB heart and
proved him tho true Christian gentle?
man.
"Be it resolved, that in the death of
John Ott this commonwoalth has lost a
patriotic and devoted son, and this as?
sociation an ablo, courageous and e 111 -
clent officer.
"2. That in this hour of supreme trial
wa tender to hin boreavod family our
heartfelt sympathy and condolence.
"3. That a page In our minute book
be dedicated to his memory, and a copy
of these resolutions bo forwarded to his
family."
