Washington; Jan. 4. Miss

of General D W Flagler, chief of

from a tree' in front of ber father's

jury were nearly ui animous in their
verdict. Miss Flagler . is out on
$10,000 bail.
District Attorney Biroey declines
to express any opinion as to the
merits of the case or the probability
of a conviction.
Miss Flagler was born in Hock Is
land, 111., where for many years her
father was stationed. Some years
ago, while living in Watertown,
Mass., she was seized with pneu
monia, from tbe effects of which
she never fully recoved, leaving her
somewhat of an inyalid. She has
refined and pleasant features, and
soft, brown eyes. She has p temper
which becomes almost ungovernable
when aroused, and to this her pres

Fire in Fisher's Cellar.
About 4:j0 o'clock Sunday after
coon the smell of ourning cotton
arrested the attention of people
passing ale Main" street in the
front of the Boyd building, and
npon investigation a ball of cotton
about the size of a man's hat was
found to be burning in the cellar of
Ed. Fisher's store room. Fortunate
ly there was no trash on the floor
for the fire to get a hold upon or
there might have been a great conn
flagration, -low the ball of cotton
caught fare is, of course, a mystery.
An hour or more before tbe emould.
ering cotton was discovered, a son of
Mr. Fisher and several other little
boys had been in the ce lar feeding
and watering the f:bickeus, but they
found no fire when there. Nothing
but the cotton burned.
About this time some little boys
were fitting in the rear of Mr. Fiah
er's store smoking cigarrettes, and
it might hi possible that Borne boys
had been smoking and dropped a
ciparrette s'ump in the basement.'
The troth of the matter is too

The subject of this sketch ! was
born May 26,1808, near Winchester,
Va. In 1834 be was ordained to
ministry in the. Lutheran chujreh.
His first charge, at .Straaburg he
served for 16 years. He was at
Staunton at the breaking out of the
war. In 1865, be accepted the pro
fessorship of Natural Sciences in
Roanoke College, which position he
held for nine years. In 1875 North
Carolina College, at Mt. Pleasant,
called him to become its president.
Retiring from the presidency of the
college, he became the pastor of
Holy Trinity, of Mt. Pleasant,
which church he served many years
until his physical strength required
him to give up active ministerial
ork.
It was while he lived in Cabarrus
county that nearly all of the grown
people in Cabarrus, Rowan and
Stanly counties learned to know him
personally. Besides a finished
scholar, Dr. Dayis was a great ad
mirer of agricultural life and he
gave much thought to farming
methods and those inflaenceB that
haye so much to do with farming
operations. He made many agricul.
tural speeches in these throe coun
ties, and we violate no good tastes
in Baying that no man attained td a
warmer place in the hearts of the
people than that held at all times
by Dr. Dayis.
This writer .accompanied him to
Palmer yille on one occasion. His
mission was the delivery of a literary
address at the close of Iks High
School then in charge of Prof.
Hamilton. His reputation and
ability preceeded him. We thought
we never would get away from
there. He. was pressed the ntxt day
to make an agricultural speech
we neyer saw a bigger crowd at a
country gathering and after that
Mr, Joe Bost and others wanted to
carry the Doctor further down the
river to make another speech. The
Standard believer that the great
influeac.s Dr. Dayta 'exerted in this
section not only in church but in
ciyil matters will liv on toreyer.
Immense crowds of people at
tended his funeral in Salem.
Some ten months ago bis wife, a
lady of most estimable and loyely
qualities, preceeded him to the
beyond. Six children are bft.
They are: Mrs. Frank Chalmers,
Paul, Jeff, Henry, John and Luthei,
all of whom were present except
Heniy and Luther who are in Flor
ida and Mississippi respectively.
The announcement of the death
of Dr, Dayis will carry sadness to
many a home in Cabarrus county.

The trustee's sale of the real es

did not come off to day. The sale
was commenced but bidding was so
light that all the property was with-

he late Matthew Cook, of Mr.
Pleasant, resigned tho pustora'e of
St. Paul's Lutheran church, of
Wilmington', and accepted work at
Ada, Ohio. , .
The Adu, Ohio, Record of lust
week finds occasion to speak of Rev.
Cook and his connection with those
people, among other complimentary
things, ps follows :
"Rev. t P Cook has resigned his
charge here to accept a ca'l to
Jewett, O. Although he has been
so long with this people, they were
yery loath to give him up, as the
Joint vestry called together on the
11th inst to act on his resignation,
declined to accept it on the' ground
that it was contrary to the wishes of
nearly the entire membership to
have him leaye. Another meeting
of the vestry was held last Wednes
day. Iu the meantime Trinity,
which he had been supplying, unan
imously voted its , approyal of his
services and its regrets at the proba
bility of his leaving. Howevor in
obedience to the wishes of the
pastor, who could not then honor
ably surrender his call to the new
field, at this second meeting the
resignation was accepted. He ex
pects to enter npon bis work tbere
the 2nd Sunday in January and will
hold his final service in Ada next
Sunday morning. Ee has served
the Lutheran cr urch here as pastor
for V years and by his many excel
lent traits has won' a very warm
place in the hearts not only of his
people but of the town as well. His
character is without spot or stain
He is an humble, modest Christian
gentleman whom It is a pleasure
and an honor to know, and a man
who honors his calling."

Some time ago what was thou un
developed power and nnusued natu-
Lcad vantages, are now showing the
touch of enterprise and business
judgment.
Instead of a htt'.e Hour and grist
mill tickling the splendid waters
power of Coddle creek, at what is
known as Patterson's mills, four
miles south of Concord, there is now
a most substantial, attractive and
promising cotton milling property,
owned and operated by the G W
Patterson Manufacturing C mpany.
Some months ago, when the ques
tion of establishing more cotton
mills in the South tbe home of the
fleecy staple Mr. G W Patterson, a
successful and prominent business
man cf Concord, seeing the advan
tages of a mill located beyond
tbe severs! draw-backs of an
incorporated town oyercotue by
easy railroad facilities, and
seeing the disadvantages easily
and knowing the gteat paving in
motiye power to be had at the point
ia question, conceived the idea of
forming a stock company for the
purpose of erecting buildings and
establishing cotton mill plant at
the Patterson mills, on Coddle
creek, just four miles from town.
In a quiet way, characteristic of
the safe business qualities of Mr. G
W Patterson, he raised the stock for
the undertaking.
OFFICERS.
President, W R Kindley, of Mt.
Pleasant ; Secretary and Treasurer,
G W Tatterson. Directors : W R
Kindley, G W Patterson, Dr L M
Archey, Dr. D J Satterfield, Martin
Boger and John C Wads worth and
E C Beach. Acting Superintendent,
E D Byrd.
THE PLANT.
The cotton mill building, proper,
is 220 feet by 80 feet and .one Btory
high, besides an engine room and
a smoke stack 100 feet high. The
structure is built of the best material
aod on the most modern style of
architectuie.
Tbe dam across the creek is said to
be among the best in the State, It is
constructed of rock, laid in the best
of cement and by one who is master
his business.
There are some 20 or more houses,
for operatives, stores and warehouses,
&c. The store room recently erected
is 25x00 feet; in charge of this is
that excellent business man, Mr. W
R Harris, ex-clerk of the court of
Montgomery county.
Preparations are making for a
handsome church building on the
grounds of the company. Already
a district .school house is located
there, with a probability of a school
being conducted the year around.
Thus the caro and welfare of the
children of the young village are
not to be overlooked in the progres
sive move towards making money.
THE STOCK.
The authorized capitalization is
$100,000. None of the stock is
known to be on tbe market, except
lour shares which were sold at a
premium within the last week.
EOME NOTES.
Tbe building is lighted by its
own dynamos, and the system is
said to be one of the best in the
state.
The water power, while not yet
thoroughly teated, is the best in this
whole section. It is confidently
believed that the mills can be inn,
by water power alone, at least six
months in the year, or certainly for
four months. This represents an
enormous saving in money that
must be expended for fuel, where
there is no water power at all.
The day force is full and every
thing is running along smoothly.
Preparations are making for a night
force, at an early day.
It is a spinning mill, alone, as yet
no thought being giyen to the weav
ing of its products. The spindles,
2080 in number, are said to be the
very latest and the moBt improved
machinery for the working of cotton.
Par Dies, who know and who have
Been it, tell us it is of the best cot
ton manufacturing plants in the
whole State,
There is a splendid road to the
mills from Concord, besides a tele
phone line, which gives it all the
connection with the outside world
that commercial interests require.
The plant is just three miles from
Harrisburg, over good roads, where
the shipping of the company is
done. '

A Complete Loss.
'Mr. Gaskill had $27,600 insurance,
The Standard regrets to announce
that he has lost all. Besides this he
bad his all investei in stock some
200,000 pounds of manufactured to
bacco, carrying only enough insur
ance to meet his liabilities. His
loss is not a bit less than $30,000,
which puts him back to where he
began.
Mr. Gaskill. wa?. an enterprising
and excellent gentleman, and in his
most awful loss be is to be pitied as
his many friends surely do. It is
hard luck, indeed.
Cannons & Fetzer are preparing to
take stock. Before doing so, how
everthey have consideredHhe neces
sities of the people and have cut
prices on t line of ; woolen goods in
half. Now is vhnr chance. See

I recomruend it as superior to any prescription

" Our physicians in the children's depart

and although we only have aino:g our
medical supplies what is kno-.vn as regular
