London. Aug. 21.—Rev. William
Booth, general and commander in
chief of the Salvation Army, died
at 10:13 o'clock last night. He was
born at Nottingham in 1829. The
veteran Salvation Army leader was
unconscious for forty-eight hours
previous to death. The medical
bulletins had not revealed the sell
ousness of the general'3 conditidn
which for a week past, It is now
admitted, yvas hopeless.
Underwent Operation.
Twelve weeks ago Gen. Booth un-
derwent. an operation for the re
moval of a cataract In his left. eye.
For two days after the operation in
dlcatlone justified the hope of the
General's recovery. Then septic
poisoning set In and from that time
with the exception of occasional rat
lies, the patient's health steadily
declined. The general recognizee
that the end was ne3r and often
sppke of his word as being finished.
Throughout the commander in
chief's Illness, his son. Brantwelt
Booth, chief of staff of the Atrny,
and Mrs. Bramwell Booth, gave
their unremitting attentions to him
both night and day.
The aged evangelist died at his
residence, the Rookutane. Hadle-
wood, some eight miles from London
where he hiu be»n <ci.fined to his
bed evpr since the operailont.
Present nt Bedside.
Present at the bedside when the
end came were Mr. and Mrs. Bram-
well Booth and their daughter and
son. Adjt. Catherine Booth, and
Sergt. Bernard Booth, the general's
youngest daughter; Commissioner
Mrs. Booth Helberd, and Commis-
sioner Howard, Col. Kltohlng am>
Dr. Wardiaw Ml’ne.
Public interest now renters In
the question of a successor to th°
late commander. Under the const!
luliorf of the Salvation Army th»
General nonvi nates diis successor.,
That General Booth several yea's
ago did, placing the name in a
sealed envelope whinh was deposits*
ed with the Salvation Ajlmy law-
yers with instructions that it should
not be opened until after his death.
While nobody knows what name
the envelope encloses, the general
hpllpf among the Salvation Army is
that It will prove to be that
Bramwell Booth, who, for thirty
years has tieen its chief of staff.
Burial Place Not Derided.
Where General Booth will h°
hurled has not yet been decided
While every English member of the
Salvation Army is convinced that no
man was ever more worthy of in
ferment in Westminster Abbey, it
is not expected that tills honor will
b« awarded to Gen. Booth by the
Abbey audnortties. It Is the general
belief tbad the commander-in-chief's
last resting place will be beside that
of his wife, who Cl years ago was
buried in Abney Park. Stoke-N'ew-
ington.
Refers to God's Promises.
Almost the last " words of Gen.
Booth, uttered Just befo e he lost
consciousness when referring to
God's promises, were:
“They are Bure, they are sure,
if veil will Only believe."
It is rrohable the obsequies will
include the Iving In state for sev-
eral days at Congress Hall, Clayton,
after which there will he a big me-
morial service and a procession to
Abney Park.
“When Gen. Booth said from
time to time that when the wires
flashed round the world the news of
his death they would also carry the
name of his successor," Col. Kioi-
thing said, “he spoke metaphorical-
ly. The announcement of his suc-
cessor probably will be made in a
day or two.”
Gen. Booth's Career.
Starling his career alone as a
aoap box preacher in the slums of
Nottingham. England, nt the ago of
15 years. William Booth end? it at
84 as head of an army of millions
of Salavtionlsts scattered through
fifty-four countries.
He fought many real batt'es In
hire streets of of London and often
was in peril of losing his life in the
cause, but with those who rallied
to his support, he formed the nu-
cleus of his great movement, which
was given the name of the Christian
Mission.
The present Salvation Army never
was foreseen nor was the name ever
deliberately chosen by any one. Mr.
Booth was dictating to a stenogra-
pher wdien he used the words “The
Christian Workers is a volunteer
army." When he looked over the
paper later he substituted "salva-
tion'' for volunteer" as the stronger
word and the phase struck , fire
among his mission workers, " who
seized the militant spirit from It.
Sft great, was Gen. Booth’s faculty
of handling and inspiring men that
Marshal Wolseley once, declared
that the British army had taken les-
sons in metlhods of organization,
distribution and control from the
Salvationists.
Gen. Booth’s last message to his
followers in America was written
last. Juno, while blindness was over-
taking him.
“Pile m» all my losses.” he the
wrote, “they are mauy and terlous,
1 admit; but look at the mercies
still left me. First there is my con-
fidence in God. I am not going to
allow tlhe existence of a few things
which are In cdhfllct with my Judg-
ment to interfere with my confi-
dence in his wisdom; confidence
that Is Inspired by lifelong knowi-
0" IPs laying rare. Then l

have not lost the assurance of my
own heart relations with my Heaven-
ly Father; I have not lost the con-
fidence and love of my own dea
peep'e; i have not lost the inesti-
mable blessing in life.
“i want the continued loyalty of
my own peop'e and the hearty co-
operation of all men and women
whose hearts are fired- witih the
same purpose as my own. In a few
weeke time I hope to be found once
more on the battlefield. Anyway,
my dear comrades, in the light or
In the da-k. you may count upon
your general (o trust In God and
go forward."
Surviving Gen. Booth are several
children carrying on the work he
started, most prominent) being Bratn-
weil Booth, the eldept son. who is
acting as chief of staff in London
and who is expected lo succeed his
fallier. as general of the Army.
Two otther sons, Herbert and Bal-
iington Booth, are widclv known in
evangelical work, the latter having
been particularly In the public eye
because of a break with his father
sixteen years .ago, since when he has
led an independent organization
known as the Volunteers of Ameri-
ca.
Of the daughters, in addition to
Miss Evangeline, who is commander
in America, there is Miss Lucy, who
is commander of the army in Den-
mark and Miss Mary, who worked
with her'father in London.

NICE PIECE OF MONEY FOR
GROWER OF FIRST BALE.
Mr. Norwood Gets Sixty-One From
Purchaser and Premium of More
Than Fifty Hollars.
WI S. Norwood who brought in
the first bale of .cotton, mention of
which was made in yesterday's Dem-
ocrat. got a good price for his cot-
ton and was given a good premium
by Sherman business men.
The cotton was purchased by the
Birge-Forbes company at 4 cents.
It weighed 1535 pounds, making (lie
purchase price $8 1.40. Added to
this was tile business men's prem-
ium of something more than $50
cash and a year's subscription to the
Democrat and a years subscription
to the Sentinel.
Messrs, Jake Exstein, Ernest
Jones and L. M. Ward took the list
and made up the premium sub-
scription.
Mr. Norwood raised the cotton on
the thas. Fulton farm, 3 miles
northwest, of Hagerman.
Last year Mr. Norwood had (he
second bale of cotton on the Sher-
man market, arriving here the next
day after Mr. W. V Uhoat brought

Mr. Norwood is highly pleased
with the premium given him yester-
day and with the kindly treatment
by Sherman business men. He wil
have lots of cotton thiB year and
Sherman will be his market.
He said yesterday that he would
have another bale ready for market
today and that he would take it to
Whiteahoro, as that little city us-
ually gave a nice premium for tho
first bale.
