There is another home in our llttie city which has recently been dark ened by death’s sombre shadows, and sorrowing t earls mourn the loss of a dtvoted husband and a kind and 1l- dulgent father Friday afternoon it pleased the l«r :at Ruler of the univer e to ri- movefiom our midst and from the loved ores who looked to him for guidance and support, all that con- posed the living, breathing form of Mr. A. J. Melton, one of our best citizens, tie was a native of North Carolina and Came to this city to accept the position of engineer with the Gatlney Manufacturing Com pany, which place he stilt held wh»n his sickness came upon him several months ago. He was a trusttd employi e of that company, stood high in the esteem and confidence of llio olli. ers of the mill, and was well liked by ids as;ociutes and his fellow operatives. Jie was a splendid work man and an efficient engineer, per formed his duties faithfully and attended strictly to his own busines.-', ever conducting himself in a fearless, upright, unassuming manner. Little wonder, then, that he was liked by everybody. Mr. Melton was u consistent mem ber of the Second Baptist church of this city, and was one o| its most faithful attendants. He we.s a man who carried religion into his home to his daily woik, and associated it with ull tlie acts of his every-daj’ life. This, indeed, should be a source of great consolation to those whose hearts arc now weighted down with sorrow because his earthly pilgrimage is ended. , The deceased’s illness was of over two months duration, and the direct cause of his death was thought to be an internal tumor. His remains were taken to Double Shoals. N. C., his old home, for interment, and they were accompanied by Rev. W. S. B. Ford, pastor of the Second Baptist church, who, with the assistance of R°v’f. Bridges and Washburn, con ducted (tie funeral exercises. Mr. Melton was horn in 1857 and was therefore in his forty-fifth year when he died. He leaves a wife and several children who have the deepest sympathy of our people, as well as of numerous friends in the Old North State. The L-mger e.*-pecially joins in offering condolence to the bereaved family. THE VICTOR OIL CO. I’laiiH for Their New Mill Soon t«» he Krected In Yorkvllle. The following article is from the Yorkvilie Enquirer in regard to the cotton seed oil mill soon to he erect ed at that place by the Victor Cotton Oil Company, of this city : “At last S'orkville is to have a cot ton seed oil mill. The preliminary arrangements were settled last Wed nesday, and the work of putting up the necessary buildings is to he com menced at once. Udflney men are at tiie head of the enterprise, and York vilie capital is interested. The project first began to take defi nite shape some two weeks ago. Mr. J. P. White, of Yorkvilie, learned thaf Messrs, Lipscomb it Cox, of the Vic tor Cotton Oil Company, of (JafTuey. vverj looking for a good location for another branch plant of their corpor ation, and had hut little difficulty iu convincing these gentlemen that not only was Yorkvilie the place they were looking for, hut that the people here would welcome them and take stock in their company. The undertaking progressed favora hly from the start, the only delay be ing such as was absolutely necessary on account of securing options on suitable lots. This task was com mitted to Messrs. W. R. Carroll and J. P. White, who managed it most skillfully, quickly bringing to u focus a deal that resulted in the pu chase of tiie Morrow Cotton Gin and Roller Mill property for the sum of $#,000. Although it was not at first their intentionjto do so, the Victor people have since decided to continue the operation of the roller mill in connec tion with their main business, which will be cotton ginning and the manu facture of cotton oil, fertilizers and stock feed, etc. Present plans con template putting in a first-class sys tem of four gins and oil machinery, with capacity to handle 20 tons of seed a day. Some new brick buildings will be necessary, and Messrs. J. J. Keller it Co. are now figuring on them. The main building will be 50 by 100 feet, and tho main boiler room 20 by 44 feet. It is estimated that some 250,- 000 or 300 000 brick will be required for the work. Located as the mill property is, about half way between the two rail roads, and within tasy reach of both, there will he no dilficulty in getting side track conveniences, and with .such a large territory from which to draw wheat to grind, cotton to gin, and to convert into oi), the prospects ahead of the Yorkvilie branch of the Victor are promising enough. It is the purpose of the company to be ready for business in time for the next cotton crip.’’ A <iurrn«-y Hoy. Thursday’s New York World con tains a special dispaten from Freder ick.

There were only a fev minor cases in tlie city court during last week, nothing more serious limn disorderly conduct. Yesterday morning the proceedings CGiisieU d of two cases against break ers of the bicvcH I iw A young white man whs up foi riling his wheel ufDr twiHgh* " '» l - n Ihjht nttnchfd. Fie was lineti tUo, lowest limit for sudi an olTense, one dollar with the alternative of live days on tiie streets. He piid the dollar, and will probably not take such a risk again. The other case was for violating the Sunday law governing bicycle riding, which prohibits the riding of wheels on any of tiie sidewalks of tiie city. The defendant acknowledged to the violation of the law, but gave iu extenuation the t wo following weighty facts:—that he was not a resident of the city and that he was in quest of a physician to attend a sick baby at his home. In consideration of these extenuating circumstanaes, the mayor was very lenient with the accused and imposed upon him a nominal fine of fifty cents or two days on the streets. This, of course, was nothing but right where the evidence was so plain in favor of the defendant; hut Mayor ^Littlejohn cannot be particular in such cases, ft is strange, though, that bicyclists who live in tho city and who are fully acquainted with the bicycle ordinances will deliberately violate them and run the risk of being de tected or reported. The danger to pedestrians arising from riding after dark without # light or on a crowded sidewalk, not only on Sunday but any other day, should be a consider ation to make them more careful, even if they care nothing for the law, or for the expending of u dollar or two for the privilege of violating the law occasionally. All owners and riders of bicycles within the city limits, and those outside the city who are in the habit of riding into town, should have a copy of the or dinance regulating the riding of bicycles and should strictly abide by its provisions. A copy of that ordi nance may he found in The Ledger cf April ilth, 1901 Read it and abide by it, and thus save yourself tho unpleasantness of being hauled up in the mayor’s .court and the expense which generally attends such a pro ceeding. Mr. TIisickMton LoMm a llomr. Mr. S. R Tuckstou, of our city, had the misfortune to lose a valuable horse last Friday afternoon. The cause of its death was thought to be colic caused by over or improper feeding. Mr. Thackston was on his return home from the Confederate reunion at the time the animal died, and it must have marred in a great degree the pleasure of ids trip when he arrived at home and found his valu able family horse dead. It was the only horse Mr. Thackston hud in his possession, and the loss fulls rather heavily upon i i-n, besides causing much inconvenience to him and his family.
