It senms that tho chirk winged nngol <>f doath is hovering over Lanford and rapidly calling away her loved ones. Thin time one of our most popular young men, Mr. C. W. Lanford, won of Capt' 1*. W. Lanford was called away.? Ho was much loved by all who knew him. Charlie wrh about twenty-two yearn old at the time of bin death. lie had been an ac tive member of tho Baptist church at this place for some time, being Treasurer of the ohuroh, also See rotary and Treasurer of tho Sun day School. He was clerking at tho Company Store at ISnoroe, where he remained until forced to give up his position on account of his health. He was a popular salesman and was much liked at that place. Charlie was confined to his room for sevoral months, but was never heard to complain. IIo bore his sickness as only ono sustained by the graoe of God could boar it. While Iiis friends and loved ones could woe ho was growing weaker and know that death could not be far off, yet it was a shook when it did come?as death always is. Several days lie fore he died he called tho family around his bed, made a beautiful talk and prayed that they all may moot iii Hoavon. Ho clasped his mother's hand,?she asked him if his way was clear? He replied: () yes, ?can't, you seo? His sister asked?seo what thirling? He an swered Angels. In a talk with the Methodist Pastor ho remarked that lie didn't feardoath, but if it was God's will he would like to Iivo to do something good lor his Master? What nobler aspiration could a young life have? The Pas tor told him perhaps he was do ing a greater work there in Iiis room, than ho could do in health. As his physical strength gave way he seemed to grow stronger and stronger in the faith. While he lay so still and cold in death all hearts were Bound in sorrow, yet we should not forgol that the hearts that have not been touched by sorrow are rude and untaught. Sorrow is a gentle teacher?mak ing us to understand many things that we could not kuow without it. 1 must say there was light and joy in such a death. Why should we mourn for him when ho knows nothing but gladness and joy. Still we fool the loss and cannot forget the form and our thoughts loves to linger on tho kind anil loving words spoken so often by him. Our dear Brother Butts, who has been so lately Be reaved, spoke even more forcoa bly than ever and offorod words of consolation to all. Tho casket ami grave were covered wit h Beau tiful {lowers.

Tho action of the State Executive Committee, at its meeting last week, in deciding that the candidates of tho Prohibi tion party may run in tho Demo oratio primary demonstrated be yond question the truth of tho as ?ertion, a Prohibitionist is a Pro hibitionist, but a Democrat also.? Ills allegiance to tho democracy is, however, altogether secondary to that he owes tho Prohibition party, and ho retains his connec tion with the Democratic party only for protection and benefits to be derived. As it is with the Pro hibitionists so it will be with other factions that claim or may claim to be integral parts of the soealled Democratic party. Tho Executive Committee l>y Its action has ad mitted in explicit terms that the party is not a compact organiza tion but an association made up of disagreeing and warring elements. Tho Executive Committee instead of making ihc of tho opportunity to put an end to the operation of organised faction within tho party lamely stirrendorod to the faction alists, violated a plain provision of the party constitution and invited still greater factional differences. Tho next convention of tho socallod Democratic parly should repeal tho section of the constitution that was thought to forbid the nomina tion of fractional candidates, and adopt a new Instrument to govern the confederation of allied factions of somo lime Democrats.?Hum tor Watchman and Southern.
