late Rev. J. Henry Smith, D. D.. for
nearly 48 years pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of this city. He
spent his boyhood and young manhood
in Greensboro and was ordained to
the ministry of tha Presbyterian
Church about 34 years ago. He is

Prof. Reed Smith, a member of the

The funeral is to take place at

Messrs. L. Richardson and R.

A sketch of the dead minister sent

"Dr. Smith was born at Hampden-
Sidney, Va.. July 26. 1851, and was
a son of Rev. Jacob Henry Smith. D.
D: His father was for 40 years one
of the most popular and effective

people in Guilford county, where he
spent his boyhood and young man-hood.
Mr. Wakefield was a son of the

ERNEST CLAPP A CANDIDATE. UNITED STATES COURT.
Mrs. J. D. Kase.
Mrs. J. D. Kase. a well known and
beloved woman of this city, died s.ud-
(ler.lv Saturday at the Hygeia hospi-tal,
at Lynchburg, Va., where Fhe
was on a visit to her -aught er.
Miss Eleanor Kase. who is superin-tendent
of the hospital. She appear-ed
to be in her usual health and the
news of her sudden death came as a
great shock to her loved ones and
friends. Death was due to a sudden
attack of heart trouble, to which she
was subject.
The body was brought to Greens-boro
and carried to the home of the
son of the deceased. Mr. J. DeWitt

Will Aak Another Nomination for
Clerk of Court—Other Candidates
Who May Aspire to Office.
Recently a report gained currency
in some quarters to the effect that
Mr. Ernest Clapp, clerk of the Su-perior
court of Guilford county,
would not be a candidate for a sec-ond
term, and probably on the
strength of this rumor others have
cast their eyes in the direction of
the office. But it appears that Mr.
Clapp has no intention of retiring at
the presei.t time, unles:; he should
be retired by the people.
In conversation with -a Patriot re-porter
yesterday Mr. Clapp emphati-cally
denied the report that he is
possessed of a desire to retire from
the clerk's office and stated that he
Is :-.n active candidate for a re-nom-ination.
Mr. Clapp said he had en-deavored
to give the public the very
best service possible during his pres-ent
(and first) term and feit that he
had a right to ask for the time-hon-ored
endorsement of a second term
at ths hands of the Democratic party.
Mr. Clapp is one of the most popu-lar
young men in the county and has
maintained the clerk's office at a
high state of efficiency. It is a mat-ter
of common knowledge that there
is no better conducted clerk's office
in the state.
Along with the report that Mr.
Clapp would not be a candidate for
re-election, it was rumored that Mr.
W. P. Beall, Jr., a popular and effi-cient
deputy in the office, would seek
the nomination, but the Patriot is in-formed
by Mr. Beall that he has no
Intention of entering the race so
long as Mr. Clapp is a candidate.
Although he has made no publiic
announcement, it has been pretty
In Session Here This Week for Trial
of Civil Actions.
An adjourned term of United States
District court, for the trial of civil
actions only, was convened here Mon-day
morning with Judge James E.
Boyd presiding, but practically no
business was transacted during the
first day's session. A message was
received from Charlotte stating that
a settlement had been made in the
first case set for trial—that of the
Catawba Manufacturing and Electric
Power Company, vs. W. and J. Knox
Net and Twine Company, and the
William J. Hooper Manufacturing
Company. This was an action insti-tuted
a few weeks ago and the trial
was expected to be one of the most
important during the present term.
Judge Boyd ordered a nonsuit in
thv. case of Absher, administrator,
vs. the Norfolk & Western Railway,
counsel for the plaintiff failing to
appear.'
Yesterday morning the case of
Aaron W. Morris vs. the Norfolk. &
Western Railway was taken up, this
being an action for the recovery of
$15,000 damages for alleged injuries,
received by the plaintiff in being
struck by one of the defendant com-pany
s trains. After the plaintiff's
evidence had been introduced counsel
for the defendant made a motion to
dismiss the action on the ground that
the liability of the railroad company
had not been established. The court
granted the motion and ordered the
case stricken from the docket.

To the Ministers of Guilford.
The Patriot hopes, within the
next few weeks, to begin the publi-cation
of a series of sermons by the
pastors of our local churches, irre-spective
of denomination. Our con-tract
for the Russell sermons expires
in a few weeks and we will try to
cover a broader field by opening our
columns to all ministers of Greens-boro
and Gialford county, not only
inviting but urging each of them to
prepare a sermon for this paper com-prising
from 3,000 to 3,500 words.
The "congregation," which approxi-mates
15,000 readers, is large enough
to inspire every minister within the
bounds of Guilford with the possibil-ities
for promoting the Masters
cause, and we hope to have a ready
response to this invitation. The
spiritual needs of our people are best
known by the pastors who have been
called to minister to them in person,
and it is to these holy and devout
men we must look for the guidance
that Is so essential.
