Sad Case ofHornaday Who
Killed his Brother. It was
Result of Sudden Anger.
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

It has been quite evident for 24
hours that Dr. Matthews would at
tempt something rash.
DR. MATTHEWS CASE
Wliiln thfi creneral Dublic seems
mucn lnieresieu in we piciiuiu. j
hearing before Mayor Murphy this
nf the charsre of murder
against Dr. J. B. Matthews, and he
himself seems anxious to De given an
nnnnrtnnirv to "tell it all.'' as he ex
presses it, those who know aDOut such
things do not expect anytning to De
Hone fixcent a waiving of examination
by his attorneys, and the case being
sent on to court, superior couri ior
the trial of criminal cases meets here
next Monday, and as Matthews would
probably be held with out Dan any
way, the case will be probably sent to
the court without either side showing
its hand.
The prisoner was not at all raving

A HUSTLER
Our neighboring city of High
Point, N. C the great furniture
manufacturing centre, is accustom
ed to extraordinary activity, but it
seems that it surpassed former
records last month, when seven
new factories were organized, an
all night system of electric lights
secured, two new insurance com
panies tiroiected. contract for
building the High Point & Win
ston trolley line signed, a model
passenger depot assured, arrange
ments for making its silk mill the
largest in the South completed,
with a visit from the President as
a pleasant memory High Point
is one of the livest towns in this
live section, and any town, any-
wheie, that undertakes to keep
pace with it will have to bustle
and keep at it Southern Mills.
THE INJUNCTION
Thfi injunction issued bv Judge
Boyd concerning the work on High
street, on wmcn tue muuou uuuuo
the ricrVit. nf wftv is still in force. This
ia a mutter, we should thirk, that

A TRIBUTE TO A HIGH POINTER
Col. Al Fairbrother, editor
Everything, pays a high tribute to
one of High Point's leading busi
ness men in its December number
which makes a foil page in that
bright pnblication. It gives a his
tory of Mr.E M Armfield's business
career of 17 years in High Point
as cashier of the National Bank of
Highf oint and his activity in suc
cessfully organizing other banks
over the state; his aid and co
operation given to iurniture fac
tories and his general interest and
and work in the development of
the town. The article also gives
an iccount of the two insurance
companies now being organized
by Mr. W.J. Arrafield, Sr., and
EMArmfield. There is another item
which will be of general interest
to our readers:
Just now both E. M. and his
father, W. 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.
