Bearden, * fisherman about 66 years of age, was <lrowned near Johnson landing in this county Tuesday afternoon whun j,i> batteau turned over in the Savan nah river, tfis body has not been re. covered. Mr. Bearden lived in a littjo bouse boat anchored on the Georgiu tide of the river,, and daily ^Qwed across to take his only companies, Dan Anderson, a boy of about 12 years of age, to the South Carolina side where he attended school. Tuesday afternoon when the boy returned from school he called to Mr. Bearden, who put off from the housdboat to meet him, and when about in the middle of the stream he fell over, board and graspiug the aide of the boat caused it to oapeiza. The boy was the only witness and says this was the last he saw of the drowning man. He gay? the alarm and secured assistance, but could find no trace of him. The upturned boat was found several miles below the point where the drowning took place. The boy, becoming confused by much questioning, advanced the theory' that a negro had shot Mr. Beardon?that he heard the report of a pistol and saw a negro on the bank of the stream?at first suspicion rested on the boy and he was locked up, hut later the authorities finding that he adhered to his first ucount released him. The personal effects of Mr. Bearden were found unmolested in his houseboat?about $500 being among them. He had lived alone on the river following the calling of fisherman for several years, coming! from North Georgia where he has some relatives who have not yet been located.??? ??c?

I did not say that first. , The birds said it; the green grass HU1<i the wind in your face with a thin odor of the fields, said it. Nq man who loves to go fishing can be wholly bad. He can not, in the reason of things, get near to nature und fail to |00k up to the hills and contemplate his own place in tho immensity of creation?dependent, tran s?toiy, a mystery among mysteries? -?"?d feel that there is a God. The wind! What a strange thing it 1st The sky! How strange and awesome a roof! The waters! How stirred with music against the beaches! The blue hills, how beautiful; the rsinclouds and the.sun, so full of glory! Is there any man who sits back in his bont and fishes, not feeling that he is on almoner of God? Is there any man who does not know that the town and his small belongings therein, be they millions, are very trifling by the pide of the power that put the color in the lake-side green grasses, that tinted the spring leaflets on the willows and made the very fish that he is seeking with his lure,- so lithe and beautiful! You and I have a right to go fish-1 if'g. We have It just because it is a part of the religion of the out-ofdoors. It is a thing?this right?V that we will fight for if need be. It is a right because it is symbolic of peace and freedortt. It is a right bocause it teaches men to be kind and good. It is a right because it softens and betters' manhood. It is a right because we love it so. .The same with all nature. We owe her all that we owe motherhood. Out \?f ber being came we?back to her bosom we return. To her side we should go as often as we can. It is not fishing exactly?not the struggle,' the patient game, the lure and the strike and the prey that I mean by fishing. It is the prospect, the preparation, the journey, the first sight of wild country, the clean odor of the forest, the distant vistas, the first glimpse of the blue, rippling waters of the lakes. What a thrill. How the true fisherman's heart leaps! What ecstacy as he sits him down fori the first time each year by the rusty old, camp-nook and angle. What memories. What forgotten faces. What dear friends of long ago, whose; faces shine out of the dusky corners of the old camp! Gone! Not?if we fishermen know - it. Such sacred friendships were never born to be buried in oblivion. No! They were created to be renewed beyond the purple peaks remote, in new domains where lakes beneficent will wait for anglers yet. Old-time dentists recall the days when an aching tooth was pulled, no attempt being made to fill it. They visited the patients in their homes, devoting a hajf-day to their office practice.

PAY8 TRIBUTE TO RIVER Mighty Catawba The Work of God Say* Charlotte Divine (Charlotte Observer, Monday) I "There is a river, the stream whereof shall muke glad the city of God." ' [ Taking: this expression Jrom the fourth verse of the 40th Psalm a& his text, Dr. Luther Little, pastor of the First Baptist church delivered a striking sermon yesterday morning in which he stressed the fact that God uses material things and human instrumentalities to bring relief and healing sustenance to his people. Dr. Little described in vivid 'language how the Catawba river through the vision and the financial power given the late James B. Duke, was being made to serve humane purposes in the Carolines through the operation of the Duke endowment. Dr% Little introduced his sermon with a description of the place rivers ( have held in history, remarking upon) the romance that has ever centered about streams bnd upon their utilitarian service throughout the development of our civilization. Tbo geographers, he said, sometime ago selected a list of 43 rivers as the most notable in the world. "The geographers who limited their list of notable rivers to 43 must add the 44th?y/declared Dr. Little. "God started a little river up in the everlasting hills of North Carolina, and this stream, muddy and not too appealing in its 'beauty, has been made to bless two great states. The same God that planted this stream in our mountains raised up a country lad down at Durrham and it gave him vision and the power to accumulate great .wealth. "And He made him to see that he was merely the trustee for that wealth and for the great material things that he had achieved. "For G<^d always accomplished his great purpose . through man. 6'od commanded this man to throw a dam across the Catawba river and he did it. And then He caused him to build another, and another, and another. And power and light were, distributed throughout this great section, industries were built and have grown. Commerce has expanded and prosperity has come to pur section. "I am not concerned, however, that the power produced on the Catawba river has. made the Carolinas instead of New England, the center of the .textile industry, that it has created millions of wealth through the contant and rapid enlargement of our industries and" commerce. Nor am I greatly interested in the fact that the cause _pf education in the Carolinas. and the South haB received and is to recejve such a wonderful lift from this source. "What is very near to my heart is the relief and healing and comfort that this river is to bring to sick and suffering men and women and children in our Carolinas, and the succor and sustenance Hms to bring to our .homeless and parentless children." Dr. Little declared that, through the vision and qualities of heart with which He had developed the late Mr. Duke, developer 'of the great power plants of the Southern Power com,pany on - th& * Catawba river and creator of the Duke /hdowment, more than 45 per cent of the resources of which are dedicated to hospitalization work and orphanage support in the two Carolinas,' God is making the Catawba rivfer serve His own^reat purposes for humanity in the Carolinas. "I didn't turn my head a second time when I first saw this muddy stream," remarked Dr. Little. "But whenever I cross it today or find myself upon its banks I uncover my head.. God is in it." ? . Dr. Little compared the Duke en. ANNOUNCEMENT.

But the usefulness and tho measure of good that is to come through the Duke foundation will bless the Carolines as long as nature itself functions. . It is to be perpetual, provision even being made for increasing the principal which itself is n.ot to be used save to provide the income for the great purposes outlined by its creator. Dr. Little emphasized the doctrine of trusteeship of wealth, declaring that just as Mr. Duke has conceived j the Catawba river and a great part of hi* wealth to be his for the use of humanity and had dedicated them * to humanitarian purposes, so much' all wealth and all human talents be regarded. "As We come at last to the river of death, we must fling back to those who follow the things that we have gathered during the journey that those who come after may have clearer vision, less suffering and fewer obstacles. And then when we reach on the other side the river of life all suffering, all unhappfness will disappear and joy and happiness' will reign fordver." Famed House Loses Covering New York, March 31.?Fire today burned the roof from the tower of a Brooklyn building which more than 50 years ago f.igurcjdj prominently in the famous Charlie Ross kidnaping acaBe, which has never yet been solved. Thei fire started from defectivewiring in the tower of the country home of the Croscent Athletic club on the shore road overlooking the sound. This building was formerly the home of Judge Van Brunt and was the scene of the fatal shooting of Bill Mosher and Joe Doublas, alleged kidnapdrs of Charlie Ross, son of Christian K. Ross, wealthy Philadelphia merchant in 1874. The men were attempting to rob the Van Brunt home when they were discovered by' the judge's brother and 's<?h, who shot them down. As Doublas lay dying he told them to "ask Mosher" where the Ross boy was, but the latter died before he could be questioned.
