t J. I). Bearden Lone* Life in Savannah
River Flood
Allendde, April 4. J, D. 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?

Ou "Ufa Go Pishing"
I*et's go fishing.
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.

I eventually exhaust itself because its
I principal ia being used. 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."

the home of Judge Van Brunt and
was the scene of the fatal shooting
of Bill Mosher and Joe Doublas, alleged

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.
