Quietly He Parsed Away to Sloep the Sleep of Denth An Exemplary Young Man He Never Regained Conscious' ness from the Time Ho Was Taken Sick to His Deatli. On Wednesday afternoon, at 5 :20 o'clock, the doath angel vis ited the home of Rev. T. W Smith and robbed them of their son and brother, Langdon Smith, who on Sunday had a slight chill, but was at the service at his church that day. On Monday . morning about 8 o'clock he had a congestive chill and from that timo he never regained con sciousnoss. lie was born on the 13th day of September, 1879, and died on his twentieth birthday. He was a young man of most excellent character, kind disposition and exemplary habits. One year he had attendod school at Trinity college, and was fully intending to return to school again later, He was a faithful and deyotod member of Central M. E. church. For the first time has death visited this home, filling their hearts with deepest grief and robbing the broken-hearted father and mother of their seo-ond-born. Sadness reigns within the hearts of scores of friends and relatives for the departure, of a young man of promising qualities such as this one possessed, and the sympathy of the community is extended to the grief -stricken family. The Remains Laid to Rest. A large crowd assembled at Forest Hill Methodist church Thursday afternoon to hear the funeral rites over the body of Langdon Smith. Assisted by Rev. Nelson and Rev. J D Ar nold, the funeral was conducted by Rev. J E Thompson, who was the pastor of the young man Sweet and pathetic solos were rendered by Miss Rose Harris, "Some Sweot Day, Bye and Bye," and Mr. H A Wolfsohn His two selections were "Look ing Thus Way" and "Lead Kindly Xiisrht." The pallbearers were Messrs. D J Bostian, R A Brower, "W C Houston. Lester Coltrane, Jno. B Shorrill and J L Hartsell. Words of highest praise as to this young man's character were suoken bv his pastor who, with all others acquainted, is cogni zant of his good name. His was a character worthy of emulation by all. There was an unusually large procession and many beauti f ul floral tributes were bestowed Death Takes Little Margaret. The icv hand of Doath quenched the spark of life in lit tle Margaret, the 16-month-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S F Harmon on Wednesday night about one o'clock. The end was not unexpected, as symptoms had for several days caused the worst anticipations of loving ones about her. ' What the (JuarreU Is About. Prom the Baltimore Sun light ncomes streaming down on that formerly mysterious quarrel be tween the Brittish and the Boers or the nation of Great Britain and the Dutch African republic -f Transvaal. The territories join and many of tha English have long been settled citizens of the republic and are said to out number the Boers and pay three fourths of the taxes. Yet they have no voice in the government and suffer for lack of it. The contention then Is that they should be allowed a voice in the government which seems con sistent with a republican form of government. The contention has gone about to its limit and each side is pre paring for war as a lint arbitri- ment. The lioers as worriers are equal to the English but there poems to be but one ulti mate result if war to the utmost is to come. The resources are quite unequal as well as the num ber of soldiers on whom to draw. In this, too, the reading pub lic is looking with solicitude and hope that a way of settlement may yt be found, through peace ful channels. HOTBED THE GRAVE.

Incorporation papers have been received whereby two large business enterprises of our town are now joinod together under another name. The hardware store, known for some time as Yorke,, Wadsworth & Co. and the Concord Lumber Co., have here tofore been two separate enter prises and the books of the two firms have been kept separate, i though several were interested in both enterprises. All the business of the Con cord Lumber Co. and all the business of the Yorke, Wads worth & Co. has now been incorporated under the name of the Yorke & Wadsworth Co. The names of the incorporators are Jno. C Wadsworth, N F Yorke, Chas. J Harris, R 0 S Miller and Horace W Miller. Mr. Isenhour Sow a Resident. Mr. G W Isenhour, of No, township, has opened a lunch room next door to Warren Cole man's store. The business will later be conducted by his sons. Lon and Ed. Isenhour. Mr. Isenhour has purchased from Mr. Jas. W Cannon the house and lot on East Depot street now occupied by Police man Cruse, but will not move for several weeks until his crops are gathered. Mr. Cruse intends moving to the house now occu pied by Sheriff Peck when the latter moves into his residence on East Corbin street. The ltifrgest Boat of All. The long boat, the jolly boat. the pinnace and the yall, but this, my boys, is the biggest boat of all. A special from Now York, of the 13th, says: "The new White Star steam ship Oceanic, the largest votftsel afloat, from.Queenstown, arrived at her pier in North River at 1:45 o'clock this afternoon and de barked her passengers. A big crowd of those who had socured passes to the dock, and a bigger crowd which was kept back of tne lonce, cheered the new steamer as she crept up the river and swung slowly into her berth 'Coming up from Liberty Island, the boat appeared un wieldy and her funnels too high for symmetry, but as she came closer the impression of great length grew clearer. It took six tugs 40 minutes to shove her bow around and force the huge vessel into place. Docked, she filled almost the whole length of the long pier. The Oceamc's time was six days and two hours. The Oceanic is the largest vessel ever built. She was launched at Bel fast, January 14, at the ship building yards of Harland & Wolff. Her dimensions are 704 feet long, 72 feet beam and 68 depth, with draught, light of 22 feet and loaded 82i feet. She registers 17,000 tons. Her en gines were dosigiiod to develop 5,000 horse power. Her co capacity is about 6,000 tons, and she consumes about 500 tons of coal, daily. She is rigged with three masts and is equipped with two funnels, eacu of 20 leot m diametor and 80 feet above the fire grates. The Tartar Can't Sail. A peculiar complication has arisen over the transport Tartar at Hong Kong. She flips the British flag and had gone into dock at Hong Kong on hor way to San Francisco with 1,145 sol diers and 55 passengers, The Brittish authorities refused oaranco papors, whoa the Tar tar wanted to leave, on the ground that the ship was over loaded. Gen. Otis claims that it is not overloaded. If the Brit tish do not relont, another trans port will have to be socured and the load divided. lirinklcj Is Dead and Three are In Jail.

Who Will His Lawyer BeJ In the term of court next month here when the trial comes up for the killing of Policeman Kerns, it is very probable Judge Robinson will, for Edwards, pro tection, appoint two attorneys to defend him. It is the duty of the attorneys appointed to serve and to exert their best efforts for the defence of thoir client. It is now probable that Tom Carr and Tom Richardson, the two ne groos here in our jail, will em ploy counsel for their defence. Several attorneys have been en gaged and it is a subject of won derment who will be appointed by the State. In Honor of Mother. Mb.

On Friday afternoon the town clock was giving us all kinds of time and one knew not the hour. Mr. Jas. Willoford, who keeps up with the times in that capa city, wont to see about the trouble. It was found that a piece of wood about a foot long had dropped from tho dome above and was wedgod betwoon the brick wall and the heavy box which contains several hundred pounds of old iron which acts as the weight. Whon Mr. Willoford reached tho clock there was a considerable amount of siack on the rcpo, making it very danger ous had tho wedge came out, which would no doubt have jorkod tho clock from its station and havo torn things to pieces badly. The matter was adjusted though and we now move on. Letter From Hollo. The following letter from Mr. Henry Sater to Capt. W. B. Wright of Raleigh is well worth tho reading. "Iloilo, P. I., July 24, 1899. "I guess ybu will be surprised to got a letter from me. I have boon hore two or three weeks. I went from Raloigh to Columbia. I was thore about a month and was sent to San Francisco. I was there a month and left there the 22nd of May for Manila on tho transport Sherman. We wont by the way of Honolulu and wei'o thore three days. Wo had a pleasant trip across and no bad weather, and reached Manila Bay the 20th of Juno. We could see what Dewey did to the Span ish fleet as we wont in the Bay I could just see the tops of the sunken Spanish boats , at a dis tance. I was in Manila one wook and then wont to my Regiment, tho 18th United State Infantry Band. They are on Pamy Is land, 300 miles from Manila in tb" town of Iloilo. They havo three towns in possession hero Iloilo, Jara and Molo. Wo aro quartered in tho finest build ings in the town. Wa never had such fine quarters before, Whon the Filipinos loft their places they wont running and they did not have time to carry thoir household furniture, so we are getting the benefit of it now. All Lho large buildings wore furn ished well with some very fine furniture-; pianos in every one. All tho companies have pianos and lots of other instrumonts, so we have plenty of music. Our quarters are very nico. Wo have a fruit srrovo around us and all kinds of fruits, cocoanuts, pine apples, bananas, oranges, lem ons, chickooros, mangoes and several othor kinds I don't know tho name of yet. Our quarters arc something like a music school and we have every kind of instruments from a mouth harp to a piano in it. We have a sot of Spanish band instrun ments that they captured in Manila, so we are well fixed for music. "We havn't done any scraping lately, but will pretty soon, I think. Thoy will take Santa barbor next, a town about 12 milos from hore. The boys aro doing provost guard here now around the town. Thoy have a little shooting every evening. Tho natives will slip up and fire at our post and then chaso off, but some time the follows get one. 't here is a nigh tower hore. We can go upon it and see the Filipinos working on thoir trenches. They aro about two or three milos from the town. Tho soldiers are building bridge now across the Jara river, so thoy can get the guns and teams across. The Filip inos destroyed tho old bridge that was thore. So I think by doing this wo will go to Santa barbor soon, "It is not so warm here now. I don't think it is as warm as it is in .North Carolina. We are having tho rainy season and it rains every day. We don't have to play very many concerts it rains so much.

Her design for a fountain has boen successful over those of tho leading Ameri can sculptors.
