USEFUL LIFE ENDED IN RIPE OLD AGE. Col. Richard Benbury Creecy, of Elizabeth City, long known as the Nestor of North Carolina journal ism, died October 22, in the 95th year of his age. The following con cerning his death and his long and useful life appeared in the News and Observer of the 23rd: Elizabeth City, N. C, Oct. 22. Deepest gloom is cast over the city in the death this morning at nine o'clock of her oldest and most hon ored and revered citizen, Col. Rich ard Benbury Creecy. Col. Creecy, while always bright, had been grad ually fading away for months and his death was not unexpected. He was entering into his 95th year, and would have celebrated the occasion on the 19th day of December. Col. Creecy was one of the State's most learned and beloved sons and had the distinction of being the old est living editor in the world. He was also the oldest living alumnus of the University of North Carolina. Col. Creecy was born at Greenfield, Chowan county, and was reared in Edenton. He moved to Elizabeth City in 1843, and began the practice of law. The year following he married Miss Perkins, daughter of one of the largest planters and slave-owners in this county. Col. Creecy won repu tation as a writer by correspondence to different leading newspapers, and during Reconstruction days the need for a strong newspaper was most apparent, and Col. Martin, of this city; Edward Wood, of Edenton, and J. Jarvis, then of Tyrrell county, established the Weekly Economist, and elected Col. Creecy as editor-in-chief. The great power and influence weilded by the brilliant writer's pen is now a matter of history. No man in the State did more for the South's I cause and no man wras hated and eared more by the carpet-baggers and scalawags of that day than he. His mighty pen weilded a power ful influence also during the dark days of Kusselism, and he was con- idercd one of Democracy's might iest champions in restoring the State into the hands of the white man. The grand old man's writings even up to the last never lost any of the strength or brilliancy, and beside lim now on his death-bed lies an un finished editorial. His last request was that Governor Jarvis should write a history of Re construction days and Sheriff Fred Cahoon was entrusted with the mes sage. .... In early youth the physical condi tion of the deceased journalist was frail and unpromising, but he over- came tnese eariy vicissnuues uu ucceeded in reaching a point of life attained only by a few. In youth he was studious and fond of reading. He was a student of Edenton Acade my, where so many men and women of the first circles have been educat ed. Afterwards he received at War renton private instruction from Rev J. H. Saunders; in ne emeicu the University of North Carolina, graduating in 1835. He studied law and obtained his license in 1842, and began the practice at Edenton at once, but after three years abandon ed the law and began to engage in nersuits. The great civil war left him in reduced circum stances and in 1870 he established the Elizabeth City Economist, which he published without intermission for S5 vears. In 1901 he prepared .,! r.nl.lisaed "Grandfather Tales of aii i' North Carolina History." Colonel Creecy has always been a belle letter scholar, fond of literature nrl that influenced his entire me Tr Ipd him after the war, when bro in fortune, to turn to editoria nnrsuits to recuperate his broken for tunes and his editorial productions it. Colonel Creecy was always fond of history and his editorial work and his essays on historical subjects have much value. Before the war when he had ample means and leisure he wrote a' 'Child's History for the Fireside" and when he became an editor he not unnatur ally gave his readers the benefit of his explorations in the fU Id of his tory. In 1831 Colonel Creecy in passing through Raleigh on his way to the University, heard Judge Gaston de liver two great speeches. The Legis lature was at that time being held in the Governor's Mansion at the foot of Fayetteville street, the capital having been burned down, and a proposition was on foot to move the capital to Fayetteville. Judge Gas ton opposed the proposition and by his address aided in defeating it. He afterwards heard Judge Gaston and other famous orators in the Consti tutional Convention in 1835 and his accounts of the giants in those days have helped to keep the columns of his paper very interesting. Colonel Creecy never sought poli tical preferment. In early life he was a Whig, like most other gentle men of his section and in 1842 he was without his consent nominated as the Whig candidate to represent the counties of Chowan and Gates in the Senate but was defeated. He was a magistrate and sat as a member of the Court of Quarter Sessions for Chowan county and afterwards for asquotank county. During the first administration of President Cleve- and he was collector of the port of lizabeth City, but other than this he has held no public station. He has been a member of the North Carolina Press Association and has been its president. Twenty- five years ago he met with an acci dent which required him to use crutches and caused him to remain a great deal in his own home. This infirmity no doubt aided him in his iterary work and caused him to pro duce works which otherwise he would not have written. In his life Col. Creecy was in fluenced by three men who to an ex tent became his idols: First, Rev. Joseph H. Saunders, who was his preceptor at the Academy at Eden- on and afterwards his private in structor at Warrenton; next. Judge Gaston several of whose great speeches made an indellible impres sion on the journalist, and lastly his own father, who was a constant in spiration all his life. Col. Creecy was a member of the Episcopal church and was a vestry man of Christ church at Elizabeth City. One time, in speaking to a friend of his long and varied experience in life he said: "Money I failed to ac cumulate; the world's blazonry I have failed to win; but health, home and friends I have and am content." On November 5, 1844, Col. Creecy was happily wedded to Miss Mary B. Perkins, by whom he had ten child ren, and eight of these still sur vive. For Spellers. Tuilor Jenks, in St. Nicholas.) When "e" and "ie" both spell "ee" How can we tell which it shall be? Here is a rule you may believe That never, never will deceive, And all such troubld3 will relieve A simpler rule you can't conceive. It is not made of many pieces, To puzzle daughters, sons, or neices, Yet with it all the trouble ceases: "After C and E apply; After other letters I." Thus a general in a siege Writes a letter to his liege; Or an army holds the field, And will never deign to yield. While a warrior holds a shield Or has strength his arms to wield. Two exceptions we must note, Which all scholars learn by rote; Leisure is the first of these, For the second we have seize. Now you know the simple rule. Learn it quick, and off to school !

Bill of Particulars Fileb by a Defeated Candidate in Georgia. (New York Tinms.) The law that requires all candi dates for State, county and city offices to file a bill of their expendi tures during the campaign immedi ately after election is in force in Georgia now, and the candidates who won and lost in the recent Geor gia primaries are now filing the bills that show what it cost them to be elected or defeated. One of the de feated candidates for a county office in that State has just filed this bill: "Lost 4 months and 3 days can vassing, 1,349 hours thinking about the election, 5 acres of cotton, 23 acres of corn, a whole sweet potato crop, 4 sheep, 5 shoats and 1 beef given to a barbecue; 2 front teeth and a considerable quantity of hair in a personal skirmish; gave 97 plugs of tobacco, 7 Sunday-school books, 2 pairs of suspenders, 4 calico dresses, 7 dolls, and 13 baby rattlers. "Told 2,889 lies, shook hands 23, 475 times, talked enough to have made in print 1,000 large volumes size of Patent Office Reports, kissed 126 babies, kindled 14 kitchen fires, cut 3 cords of wood, pulled 474 bundles of fodder, picked 874 pounds of cotton, helped pull 7 loads of corn, dug 14 bushels of potatoes, toted 27 buckets of water, put up 7 stoves, was dog-bit 4 times; watch broken by baby, cost $3 to have re paired. "Loaned out 3 barrels of flour, 50 bushels of meal, 150 pounds of ba con, 37 pounds of butter, 12 dozen egga, 3 umbrellas, 13 lead pencils, 1 Bible dictionary, 1 mow blade, 2 hoes, 1 overcoat, 5 boxes paper col lars, none of which has been return ed. "Called my opponent a perambu-, lating liar doctor's $10. Had five j arguments with my wife result: One flower vase smashed, 1 broom handle broken, 1 dish of hash knock ed off the table, 1 shirt busom ruin ed, 2 handful of whiskers pulled out, 10 cents worth of sticking plasters bought, besides spending $1,7G8." Proofs of Patriotism. An Englishman, recently arrived, was an interested listener to a group of men talking in a village store. Patriotism was under discussion. The readiness of so many Canadians to take part in the South African campaign was adduced as an instance of their deep and heart-felt love of country. "Yes, but," said the Englishman, "I don't see much patriotism in the way you keep up your roads, and fences, and schools. How many of you young men love the empire well enough to make your roads the best in the empire, or to work in that direction?" The talk drifted into the condition of the school-houses and grounds, the road, fences, tree planting, etc. The conclusion was reached that the patriotism of the community was not evidenced as it should be in ordinary faithfulness to the every day duties of citizenship. Some public meetings were held, and at least one maritime community is now more attentive to the common duties of citizenship. Flag flying, drum beating, and dress parades are all good in their place. But if love of country is not in evidence in roads, fences, streets, orchards, school-houses, churches, homes, and so on, patriotism is not informed as it should be. Our country is beautiful. It is fitting that we sing its praises. But it is also well to add to .the beauty and neatness of our own corner of it. Shady trees, well-kept roads, cheerfully paid taxes, faithfulness in the duties of citizenship these are genuine evidences of informed pa triotism. Selected. I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in Vinr. direction we are going. O. I W. Holmes. A Soul's Desire. Oh, give us, Lord, the open mind To welcome truth whate'er it be; But vision keen to separate The error that is not of Thee. And give us, Lord, the open heart For high and lowly, slave and free; But keep it closed to any love Not in accord with that to Thee. And give us, Lord, the open soul What most it needs we cannot see, But make it from obstruction clear A channel for the life from Thee. Selma Ware Paine. Daniel S. Ford's Pi oem. For several years before his death Mr. Daniel S. Ford, the proprietor of the Youth's Companion, did his work and managed his business from a little room in his home on one of tho beautiful parks of Boston. When loving hands cleared his desk there was found in a conspicious place, much worn with frequent handling, the following poem: The bread that giveth strength I want to give, The pure water that bids the thirsty live; I want to help the fainting day by day: I'm sure I shall not pass again this way. I want to give the oil of joy for tears. The faith to conquer crowding doubts " and fears, Beauty for ashes may I give away I'm sure I shall not pass again this way. I want to give good measure running o'er, And into angry hearts I want to pour The answer soft that turneth wrath away: I'm sure I shall not pass again this way. I want to give to others hope and faith; I want to do all that the Master saith; I want to live aright from day to day: I'm sure I shall not pass again this way. Household.

A bishop was staying with a friend in a country house. On Sunday morning ss he passed through the library, he found a small boy curled up in a big chair, deeply interested in a book. "Are you going to church, Tom?" lie asked. -No. sir," he replied. "Why. I am." said the bishop. "Huh," said the boy, "you've got to go, it's your job." Hope.

"The life that Jesus gives '.6 a reconstructive force. The highest virtues, the purest morals and the noblest personalities are the result of the working of His life in the human soul. There is something real, something tangible in the life Jesus imparts. His life may be 'era bodied in thought and feeling, in action and conduct.'

So my desire after God pre dicates an object of worship and of love. The primary witness of God ie in myself, my sense of personality, my free will, my conviction of the sacredness of right and duty, the yearning after holiness, the thrill of sacred emotion which is stirred within my soul by a voice stronger than nature. Yes this, this is God. Rev. F. Willis, Reformed In Harmony With God. Can you reconcile your business with God? Was yesterday's "deal" in harmony with His mind? Will your books stand a heavenly audit? In your office dare you put up tha prayer that is to say, should you dare if you had any realizing belief in the efficacy of prayer "Abide with me; coma not to sojourn but abide with mo." Will you seconcile your business methods with God? A ministry which does not force these questions home is sawdust and chaff. Itev. Chas. Aked, Baptist. Passive Faith. Then there is a great deal of faith out in the world that never gets into the churches even for once or twice a year. It is a negative, passive faith. It has nothing against Christ, but It leads to nothing for Him. There are lots of people who will tell you, if you asked them, that they believe in Christ, anr yet thoy are doing nothing for His cause or kingdom. They never have confess, ed Him publicly. They never have enlitied in His service. Rev. II. P. UeiSi.;', Presbyterian In On Brotherhood. One with Him, we are one with all of God there is above us, and one with all men here below. And it is because I believe that the arms once outstretched on Calvary's Cross of nain and shame are now flung wide to embrace in one brotherhood men of every race and name and color, that I shall preach Christ to you; Christ crucified, Christ risen, Christ glorified, living, loving, reigning, and In the pursuit of a Ministry of Rec onciliation, as though God were on treating by us, shall beseech you, on behalf of Christ, be ye reconciled with Go 1. Rev. Chas. Aked, Baptist. Hifliiilicance of This Life. The trouble with us is that we give an exaggerated value to these earthly years. But think of all the eternity that is past, and all the eternity that is to come; does it not j seem a small matter whether one's stay here Is a few years more or a few years less? From the eternal point of view the longest earthly life Is but as a moment. The day of our birth was nature's gift to us; it was also God's. The day of o-.:f death will be at nature's signal too, but it will be at God's as well. Our circtnnstances also are ol God. for he has a life plan for every one of U3. Rev. 1). BurreU, Reformed. Guarding the Wtij of Life. Beside that way of life, guarded by the hedge of law, Christ planta the tree of life, for food and shelter; then digs springs of water for the traveler's thirsty lips, and makes the way of obedience to be the way of good fortune. But youth and folly look longingly over the hedge, they strain their eyes toward the abyss, they rebel against the guards and the laws that make for safety. Strange that the traveler turns away from the cool fountain and the highway of happiness to break through the hedge and plunge into the slough, to drink tha poisoned waters, stench ful and holding seeds of death. Rev. Wallace Smith, Episcopal. Christ's Love of Man. The position of Jesus was Buch as would surely bring upon Him the indignation of tho world. He could not alter His messago, and He could not escape. His doom; so to that doom Ho went in a beating storm of calumny and dishonorable imputation, of reckless scandal and unheard of treachery and falsehood. Rather than give the Heavenly Fath er any credit for the good Christ did. Bcoffera blasphemed end cscrled His words of blessing to the devil. The implacable enemies who gethered behind Him on Pilate's navement and clamored 'or His blood, had no shadow of a dream that His blood would cleanBe the guilty world. They slew him for the truth's sake, and the Son of God reached His consecration's height as the prophet of all men, when, know ing that one single act of recreancy would have poisoned the saving stream of the ages. He bore a faith ful witness and became the Alpha ond Omega and the great Amen. Rev. J. C. Ayer, Methodist. The love of money is the easiest of all roots to cultivate. ODD INDIAN NAMES.

Spain needs trees and proposes, if suggestions are executed, to grow forests of pulp wool and other quick growing ppecimeiis oi' forest timber. Spain i" as largo as Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina, but its forests have but one-fo::rth the extent of West. Virginia aloti", and much of these are only scrub thickets of poor kind. The country's population is thought not to exceed one-third of what it once wisus and co il J be again. Much of the denuded land is abso lutely barren, with a red ro;k land bare where agriculture once nour ished. Hills whose rounded forms indicate they once supported fo refits are bald and dry now and without in habitants. In some localities peasants with hammers pulverize rocks and make little Datches of soil for gardens. At present, the most valuable forests product is cork, the annual oatput being 20,000 Ions. The cork forests are fcoing the vuy of all other Span ish forests, and for tho same reason, wont of care. Foresters declare there l no rex son for Spain not being ablo to do what her next door neighbor, France, has done, cover her barren places with groves and thus restore the soil, abate floods, mitigate droughts, pro vide employment for many and fur nish raw materials for factories.
