Some tweaty years ago he suffered a stroke of paralysis, from the effects of which he never fully recovered. Several weeks' ago his condition became worse, but nothing serious was anticipat ed until the past week. The end yesterday afternoon was not ex pected. Mr. Little is survived by his wife, who as Miss Fanny Meyers daughter of Col. William R. My ers, of Charlotte, is well known in the city. Nine children survive him. These are: Mr. Julian H. Little, of Charlotte; Mr. William M. Little, of Birmingham, Ala.; Messrs. John P. Little, Jr., and A. M. Little of Little's Mills; Mrs. Lizzie Wheeler, and Mrs. Fanny Turner, of High Point, and Misses Addie, Emma, and Laura Little.of Little's Mills.

Little, of Charlotte, and Mr. Wil liam Little, of Birmingham, Ala., left for Little's Mills last Sunday night and have been there since. The body will be taken to Wadesboro today and the funeral e held in that town this afternoon. The interment will be in the beau tiful Wadesboro cemetery.

Handsome floral gifts have been sent by a number of those who will not be able to b present. Mr. Little was one of the best known of the many large merchant-farmers of the State. He was known and amired by almost every man, woman and child in Rich mond county, the county of his birth and where he has resided the seventy odd years of his life. As a constant member of tbe Metho dist church, Mr. Little was at all j)imes ready to give both 01 his time and money in any good cause. His death will be a severe loss to the many charitable organizations with which he was connected. As a landowner, Mr. Little was noted for his wide possessions. More than 5,000 acres in Richmond and adjoining counties stand in his name. His mill interests and stocks' of various kinds, entitle him to the rank as a man of large wealth. Mr. Little, having lived beyond the three score and ten years, was ready and waiting for the sum mons. Having lived a lite of rare usefulness, with large possessions and large family, the call came and the end was very easy. Charlotte Observer of 28th. THEY DID RIGHT. A day , or so ago the advance agent of a carnival company was here and endeavored to make ar ran firemen ts to borne here under the wing of our new military com pany and Captain Dodamead re fused to allow the name of his company to be used for such pur poses and we think that be did right: The Red Men of the city were also asked to let this com pany for their benefit, which this organization refused to do. The Enterprise is not opposed to amuse ments coming here, as a rule, but we do not believe that a week's carnival would do us any good.

MIDNIGHT FIRE. J. J. Cox Building Seriously Damaged and Occupants Lose Heavily. Thursday night about midnight, a minute or two before the electric lights went out, fire was discover ed in the Dr. Cox building, a three story structure on the corner of Main and Washington streets. Mr. Farley, one of the occupants of the building, was awakened by dense smoke in the house. He went to the rear window and saw the light shining on White's stable. He immediately gave the alarm to the other occupants of the house. At the alarm from the whistles hundreds oi people rushed to the scene and rendered valuable ser vice removing articles of furniture from the building. The North Side Fire Company soon had a stream on the building from the roof of White's livery stable. The other companies were at the fire as soon as possible. There were four streams on the firo. The water pressure was not strong at first but it got better. In the ab- sence ot tire ladders tne foremen scaled the adjoining buildings and did valiant service. They man aged to keep ihe flames confined mostly to the top story of the building, doing splendid work. There were three families living in the building and Dr. Hayes and Mr. Al. Caldwell roomed on the second floor. Mr. Chase's family, Mr. Farley's, Mr, Gheen's. Mr. Farley did not save any of his effects. The other occupants got most) of their clothing and furni ture but they were greatly scat tered and damaged. There was no insurance on any of the goods or household and kitchen furni ture in the entire building. Mrs. Dr. Cox had $5 .coo on the build: ing which is damaged possibly to the amount of $3,500. The stock of goods of C. M. Chase & Co. was removed but it was damaged more or less. The Are originated be tween the ceiling of the second floor. This is Mr. Farley's opinion who first discovered the fire. It is always in order to give a little advice about our needs but we have only to emphasize what we have often said. We have some of the best firemen in the state.bat they cannot do what is required at a fire unless they are equipped. We need horses, more hose, ladders and one or two paid men. The individual work of the firemen last night was good but much water was waisted because the equipment was insufficient. In the adjoining buildings ti e stock of F. J. Homey and Globe Upholstering Co. was damaged to some extent by water. Mr. Hor ney's loss is covered by insurance, having a policy of $1,400 on the stock. This building belongs to Mr. M. J. Wrenn. The roof was burned and there was serious dam age by water. CRUMP PROBABLY WOUNDED FA TALLY.

There have bten no new developments on the war situation today. In official circles the all absorbing question is relative to the final outcome There is much talk of peace, but nothing of a definite character. IT GETS WORSE. Togo's Victory One of Greatest in History 19 War Vessels Sunk or Captured. Latest advices confirm the mag nitude of the disaster suffered by the Russian fleet, and point to the fact that Russia's hopes, so far as this war is concerned, now lie in whatever may be accomplished by the oft-beaten army in Manchuria. An official report received from Tokio by the Japanese legation at Washington Monday evening says that the Russian losses definitely knows include two battleships, a coast defense ship, five cruisers, two special ships and three de stroyers sunk, and two battleships, two coast defense ships, one de stroyer and one special service ship captured, while over 3,000 prisoners have been taken, includ ing Rear Admiral Nebogatoff. The Japanese, it would seem, are still pursuing the Russians, and it may be some time before the final re sult s known. There is nothing to clearly indi cate the extent of the Japanese losses, and it is suggested from one source that the Tokio govern ment is waiting to hear from Ad miral Rojestvensky by way of Vladivostock before announcing to what extent his fleet has suf fered. The news of the disaster has ca'used deep depression in official Russia, though it is not yet known generally among the Eussian peo ple. Rojestvensky's defeat has Kiven rise to renewed talk of peace It is pointed out by the Associated Press' Si. Petersburg correspondent that Russia, in this crisis, will turn to France.through its Foreign minister, M. DelCasse, while from Washington comes intormation that President Roosevelt, in ac cordance with his promise, an nounced a long time ago, is taking steps to do all in his power to bring about peace negotiations. Nothing has been heard from Vice Admiral Rojestvensky. In Tokio there is one belief that he has perished, while another source says he was rescued by a torpedo boat, but that he is wounded.
