At the hearing Tuesday after noon before magistrate Dave Col 11ns at Greensboro of the case against Roscoe Hornaday who Saturday night killed his brother, Lucien Hornaday, near Gibbon ville by stabbing him with a pocket knife in a fit of temper, after being struck by a bottle. Attornoys S. G. Bradshaw and C. M. Stedman. representing the de fendants waived examination and allowed Hornaday to go to jail awaiting the action of the grand jury. In the group at the trial.sat the widow of the dead brother side by side with the wife of the fratricide, with the defendant in thier midst, all in apparent friend- shin. The twto brothers were said to have been devoted to each other and the homicide was the result of sudden anger in return for a blow. IN MEMORY OF CHAS. G. MANN Prof. Charles G. Mann, whose recent death was chronicled in this paper was an extraordinary man in many respects. Only those who knew him best appre iaTeA his manv excellences He was a scientest of to mean ability, and was well p o s t ed in oi net puerv deDartment of human knowledge and literature. He did not seek many friends, but those whom he did choose he lov ed warmly and drew them to him- cH m with hooks of steel. He was an earnest Christian and though educated in Germany and familiar with the tenets of higher and destructive criticism, his faith in God's word never wavered He was a man of strong convictions and was perfectly fearless in utter ing them, and standing up for what he concieved to be right. One sad thing about his recent sickness and death was his com plete isolation from friends of his vouth and from loved ones. In deed, we believe the only living relative whom he knew, was his brother's wife, and she resides in Germany. But he did not lpck the kind attention of friends. His physician in whom he had great confidence was attentive and did everything posssible to alleviate his sufferings. Mr and Mrs Har mon. with whom he lived, were specially kind and attentive to him and did all they could to make his last days comfortable. Also the vounsr men boarding in the house helped most cheerfully in the nursing and should be com mended for their kindness. Prof. Mann will be greatly mis sed in the church, which he loved and in which be was always Inter ested. He will be missed in the homes of his friends, where be always brought cheer and instruc tion His familiar figure will be missed on our streets, and the young men of High Point, strug gling for an education, will miss him, for he helped several of them with his means and encouraged them to make something of ' them selves. Last, but not ' least, his pastor will miss his regular at tendance at church, his loving visits to the manse, the instruction he imparted from his varied store of knowledge and the inspiration of his cheerful spirit and simple , childlike faith in God. Yes we'll him hare, but we feel that for : him it was far better to depart and be with Christ. E. L. Sixer, Pastor. FIRST REFORMED CHURCH -d. fton A Snvrter. D. D.. Proei dent of Cataba College, Newton, N. C., will preach in the First Eeformed s church next Sunday at ,11 a. m., and North Carolina has come to be the state for training college presi dents for other states. The time was that when some great institu tion in another state i called a North Carolinaian. as president or profe sor, it was a matter that attracted state-wide attention. It has come to be so common a thing that it excites little comment But the inaugural of Dr Charles Lee Smith, as President of Mercer College, the Baptist institution of learning in Georgia, is an event in which North Carolinians take interest and pride. Mercer is to Georgia what Wake Forest is to North Carolina a growing virile, useful, strong institution support ed by a denomination that is mak ing great strides. It is fortunate in securing as president Dr Smith, a native of Durham, North Caro Una, who was educated at Wake Forest, and afterwards took his degree at Johns Hopkins. For some years he has held an impor tant chair in William Jewell Col lege in Missoari. Before going to Missouri he wrote a valuable "History of Education in North Carolina." An accomplished scholar, a tactful and charming gentleman, a man of broad culture and solid attainment, North Caro Una rejoices in the high position to which he has been called News-Observer. Dr. Smith is a son-in-law of Dr W. N.Jones, of High Point BARN BURNED The fire whistles at ii o'clock this mornincr struck terror to the entire populati . n here.

The nf the fire is unknown TheNorth side company was late rin(x tn the fire on account of on nrrident to their wagon in csossing the railroad tracks the fmnt axle broke.

J., are enthusiastic over a sky scraper, a modern office and bank building which they will erect in the spring a six or seven story building, thoroughly modern in every detail. This will be the first sky scraper in High Point, and being built on the A mi field way of doing things, will meet all requirements "and be a credit to the architecture of the city.
