Railroad Bonds Dae.
The county commissioners have
received notice from a Baltimore
bonding concern that some bonds !
issued 20 years ago by this coun
ty for the purpose of building
the Lynchburg and Dnrham rail
road, were due. The amount
that is due U $30,000, and it
seems that the commissioners
had lost sight of the fact that;
they came due at this time. The
total issue of the bonds on this
account was $G0,O00, and half
was due In twenty years and the
remainder falls due in SO years.
The commissioners will make
arrangements to pay these bonds,
although no sinking fund was
ever created to meet them.
Child Cursed to Dealt).
Passengers who came in on
the Norfolk and Western train
last Wednesday night brought
news of a distressing affair at
Cluster Springs, Virginia just
over the North Carolina line.
The little son of Samuel L.
Adams, formerly of Elon College
and who has spent much of his
time in Durham was burned to
death.
The boy, Stanford Adams, who
was four years of age, was play
ing in the feed barn, having
some matches. A fire was start
ed and before he could get out
he was suffocated and the blaze
spread fast, consuming the barn
and contents and the body of the
unfortunate boy. From what
could be learned it seems that
the body f the boy was entirely
consumed by the fierce fire that
started.

With what he thought to be
an unloaded gun the twelve-year-
old son of Thomas Bowen, of
West Durham, wounded his sis
tcr, Mary, by discharging a load
of bird shot into her shoulder and
breast This occurred last Mon
day morning.
The boy had the gun around
in the house and was playfully
pointing it toward his sister, who
warned him not to do so, but the
mother of the boy said that the
gun was not loaded and the boy
continued his playing. The re
port of the gun was the first in
timation that it was loaded that
those in the house had. It was
learned from the father that he
had loaded the gun for the pur
pose of killing a cat that had
been prowling around the house.
Miss Bowen was carried to
Watt's hospital, where she was
given medical attention, and
when last heard from was get

DEATH'S REAPING IN DUfiHAU.
a
Some of Our Oldest Citizens Pass to
Their Reward.
The grim Reaper, Death, has
been abroad in the city this week,
and some of our friends are. to
day mourning' the loss of loved
ones and friends that have an
swered the last roll-call.
: CAPT. A. MANGUM.
Capt A. Mangum died at his
o.ne in Mangum township Mon
day morning, He had been in
declining health for sometime
and while his death was not alto
gether unexpected it came as a
surprise.
Capt. Ad Mangum, as he, was
commonly known among our peo
ple, was an old citizen of this
county and this section. He was
born close to where he died and
was known throughout this sec
tion. He was the son of the late
Ellyson Mangum and was about
85 years of age. He was the last
of his immediate family, all of
his brothers and sisters and oth
ers of the kindred being Mead.
In early life Capt. Mangum
married Miss Nannie Speed, and
of this union there are five living
children, four daughters and one
son. ine only son is Mr. a. u.
Mangum, of Gastonia, who rep
resented Gaston county in the re
cent legislature. The daughters
are Mrs. Massenburg, of Louis-
burg; iMrs. Blalock, of South
Carolina, and Mrs. Jones and
Miss Mangum of this city. He
is also survived by his wife.
Capt Mangum was a cousin of
the late Senator Wily P. Mangum,
His brother was the late A. W.
Mangum, D. D., of Chapel Hill,
and he was an uncle of Dr. Man
gum, now of Chapel Hill. He
was a lawyer, having been edu
cated at the university and all of
his life he lived at the old home
place, although he prepared for
the law and occasionally he ap
peared in the courts here and
elsewhere.
While he was a lawyer Capt.
Ad Mangum did not practiee his
profession to any very great ex
tent. He lived and died close to
the place where he was born.
During his long life it is doubtful
if he ever missed voting at a
single general election and he al
ways voted at the same place.
The place of his death was close
by the place of his birth. He
was well known throughout this
entire section, his family at one
time being the most prominent in
the section in which he lived.
MRS. MARY ISABEL GATES.
Last Monday afternoon Mrs.
Mary Gates, wife of the late J.
B. Gates, was complaining of not
being well, and a physicion was
summoned. The doctor gave
some medicine that gave relief
and she rested welt during the
night. Early Tuesday morning
she was again taken with some
thing like acute indigestion,
which resulted in her death about
one hour later.
The funeral service was con
ducted from the home of her
son-in-law, M. L. Teer, at which
she died, Wednesday afternoon
by Rev. J. W. Downey, pastor
of the East Durham Baptist
church. The burial took place
at the family burying ground
some four or five miles in the
country on the Chapel Hill road.
Mrs. Gates was, before her
marriage, Miss Mary Markham,
daughter of the late Hiram Mark
ham. She leaves one daughter,
Mrs. Nannie Teer, and three sons
Messrs. J. k. II. V. and It W.
