Was Victim of Acute Attack of Rheumatism Sunday Night— President Wilson’s Tribute. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, former . President of the United States, died during Snnday night at his home at Oyster Bay, N. Y., death, it is thought, being due to an attack of rheumatism which affected his heart. He retired about 11 o’clock Sunday night. About 4 o’clock next morning Mrs. Roosevelt went to her husband’s room and found that tig died during the night. He faiafl suffered an acute attack of rheumatism the first day of the year, but his condition was not considered of a fatal nature. He had just returned to bis home from a hospital about two weeks ago. Colonel Roosevelt was born in New York city October 27, 1858. He was twice married and is survived by his last wife, two daughters and four sons, two of the latter being in Prance with the American Expeditionary Forces. Being Vice President when McKinley was assassinated in 1901, he became President and served oat the remainder of the term—three years. He was then elected President and- served a full term. He was prominent politically, serving his native State and the nation as an office holder. He served in the Spanish American war. In a proclamation on the death of Colonel Roosevelt cabled from Paris Tuesday President Wilson said: ^ “It becomes my sad duty to announce officially the death of Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States from Sep tember 14,1901, to March 4,1909. which occurred at his home at Sagamore Hill,Oyster Bay. New York, at 4;15 o’clock in the morning of January 6, 1919. In his death the United States haa lost one of its most distinguish the police board of his liaUHfUnyi as a member of the legislature and governor of his state, as civil service commissioner, as assist ant secretary of the navy, as Vice-President and President of the United States, he displayed administrative powers of a signal order and conducted the affairs of these various offices with a concentration of effort and a watchful care which permitted no divergence from the line ol duty he had definitely set for himself. “In the war with Spain, he displayed singular initiative and energy and distinguished him self among the commanders ol the aamy in the field. As Presi dent he awoke the nation to the dangers of private control which lurked in our financial and in dustrial systems. It was by thus arresting the attention and stimulating the purpose of the country that he opened the way for subsequent necessary and beneficent reforms. "His private life was charae terized by a simplicity, a virtue and an affection worthy of all admiration and emulation by the people of America. “In testimony of the respect in which his memory is held by the government and the people of the United States, I do here by direct that the flags of the White House and the several departmental buildings be dis played at half staff for a period of 30 days, and that suitable military and naval honors under orders of the secretaries of war and of the navy be rendered on the day of the funeral.” Perhaps no other ea president of the United States has been paid the tribute of so simple a funeral as the one which was given Colonel Roosevelt Wed nesday afternoon on the shore of Uong Island sound near his home. Military and naval honors were not his in death, only be cause it had been his wish, and that of his family, that the last rites be surrounded only with the simple dignity that might attend the passing of a private citizen. But the American nation and foreign governments, as well, sent representatives, as did also the state and oity in which he was born. These noted men sat sorrowfully in the pewB of the littled, red-gabled Christ Episco pal church, while brief services of prayers and Soripture read ings were held without a eulogy in which so much might have been said. There was no sing ing or organ playing. - A new bank has been opened Bt PltMboro and »fll be known as the farmers' Bank. Mr. W. E. Alley, of Parkton, bat been made oaebler. for THB* IKOULMUBE D. O.

The Baptist State Convention, which was postponed in December on account of the influeDza epidemic, will meet in the First Baptist Church of Greens* boro, Tuesday afternoon, 4 o’clock, Jan uary 14, and will continue through Thursday afternoon. The influenza situation in Greens boro is reported to be under control now, and a large attendance is antici pated at the Convention whioh promis es to be the most memorable in the eighty eight years history of that body. The outstanding feature of the present session will be the rounding up of the Million Dollar Campaign for the Baptist sohools of the State, which has been in progress in an intensified way for the last four months. In spite ol the many difficulties that have hand! capped the movement from the begin ning, it now seems that it will be suc cessful. though It will require hemic efforts to complete the stupendous task within the next few days. Many churchos have already gone fa beyond their quotas, and many others are pres sing toward the goal. Several large gifts from indlvluale and families have been received. The influence of the Junior Reserve Forces on the 3 Cam paign is beginning to be felt. If the movement is successful, iVwill mark the beginning of a new day for the advancement of true Christian cul ture and for the progress of North Carolina Baptists. The Sanford Baptists are well on the way to this goal for this object, $3,000. They hope to complete this quota by next Sunday. * Those who will attend the Greensboro Convention from the Hanford church are. Pastor Walter M. Gilmore, Secretary of the Convention; Messrs. E. D.

H. Pitts, had a bitbf experience last Saturday morning about 7 o’clock wklch he will not soon forget. Mrs. Pitts was away. Mr. Fittfl dressed and went to his place of business. William was left to look after things around the home before coming down town for his breakfast. Soon after. His father left he heard some one enter a side door to the house and movant the stairway leading to the upper story. He thought little about it presuming that, his father had re turned for something. “Presently the mao came down stairs and entered the room. „ young Fitts, who was put ting on his shoes, addressed him, say ing, “Father, dldri you forget some thing?? Beoeiving no answer he looked up to find himself confronted by a man with a mask on, blue overalls and gauntlati. Young Fitts sprang into an Open closet, closing the door. As he did so the man struck at him with the ohair in which he was seated, breaking some parts of it over a book case. As the boy made for the closet he attempted to grab a pistol which was in A box on the book case, but failed'lo get It. He remembered hav ing pot a 22 calibre rifle 4u the closet.

When the burglar left the house Fitts ran out and saw him “make < IT" ilia back way. Police Officer Turner carried his bloodhounds to the scene, but as the around was frozen they could not fo - low the track. Search was made, but uoone answering the description of the burglar could be found. The theory is that the burglar saw Mr. Fitts eavi the houpe and ^disguising bimBelf en tered for the purpose of committing robbery. College Students.
