Mr. H. H. Cartland died at his home on Asheboro street about 5 o'clock last Friday morning, after a critical Illness of un.re than two weeks' duration. Though, his death had been 'momentar ily expected for days. Its j came as a great sorrow to his loved ones and friends. The funeral was held at West Market Street Methodist church Friday afternoon at 3 30 o'clock, the services being conducted by Revs. Joseph H. Peele, T E. Wagg, E. W. Smlth.D. t)n and J. C. KRowe, D. D. iThe large building was filled to overflowing by a great concourse of people who had come to pay the last tribute of respect to one whose death wis nniveraallr mourned. The deceased was a valued member of every fraternal organization in the city, and the members of the I. O. O. F., the K. of P. and the Jr. O. XJ. A. M. attended the funeral In a bedy, the Knights Templars sending a uni formed escort. I ill After the services at the church the long procession slowly moved to Greene Hill cemetery, where the remains were consigned to their last resting place. During the funeral hour almost every business house in the city was closed a most eloquent tribute to the virtues of him who . had passed away. I The large number of beautiful floral em blems left on the newly-made grave by the several lodges and by the friends and employees of the deceased j were touching tributes of the love and j ven eration in which he was held by those who had been most intimately asso ciated with him. Mr. Cartland was born In Windham, Maine, in 1848, and was therefore in his fifty-first year. In 1875 he came South and located in Greensboro, engaging-In business at once. For almost a quarter of a century he bad been en gaged in the merchant tailoring ! busi ness, having built up one of the largest establishments of the kind in this sec tion. He numbered among his ciis tomers men from every corner of the state and enjoyed, perhaps, the largest patronage of any tailor in North Car olina. - t In addition to conducting his own business, he was often called on for ad- vice and assistance in the administra tion of the affairs of others, and this service he always rendered with char acteristic fidelity. He was thoroughly identified with the best interests of Greensboro, and his death is a sad loss to the business community. To nls friends and everybody who knew him was his. friend he was always Ioal and true, and his departure will be keenly felt by them, lie was generous almost to a fault, and no object of Edward D. Ham m and, C. S. D., de- livered a lecture on uChristtan Science" ,1 at the Academy of Music Sunday af ternoon. The subject is one jwlth most of our people are unfamiliar, and there was, in consequence, a good crowd to bear the new doctrine ex plained. Christian Science is defined as a system of moral and religious in struction, founded upon principles for mulated by Mrs. Mary B. Eddy, and combined with a method of treating diseases mentally. As we understand It, the Christian Scientist does not ad mit the reality or disease, but explalts all cause and effect as mental. The doctrine was first promulgated by Mrs. Eddy in 1866 and now has quite a num ber of adherents in all sections of the country. Mrs. Eddy Is the recognized head of the sect, with headquarters at Boston, Mas a. Greensboro has a small congregation of Christian Scientists and services are held at the -residence of one of the members every Sunday.

It is perhaps not extravagant to say at no citizen of Greensboro will be more generally missed than Mr. Cart land ; - ;;, j Mr. Cartland was an earnest and de vout christian, being a member of the Friends church. While his quiet and retiring disposition prevented him from tating an active part in church! work, no one ever doubted the genuineness of his piety. He was a regular atten dant upon the seryicesof the sanctuary and his means were freely given to support the institutions of the church. A few years after coming to Greens boro Mr. Cartland was married to Miss Henrietta Houston.of this city, a sister of the late Levi and W. M Houston. She and four children survive him. He also leaves three brothers, one of whom (Dr. J. E. Cartland) is a promi nent citizen of High Point. The family and relatives have the heartfelt sympa thy of a large number of friends in their sad bereavement. At the meeting of the board of al dermen last Friday night a board of - . i 1 managers for the dispensary was elect ed. The board Is composed jof five members, the term of one expiring ev ery two years. The following gentle men were elected: B. E. Sergeant, I for two years: . J. Stafford, for four years; B. D. Douglas, for six yejirs; A. W. McAlUter, for elgbt years, and R TT. Brooks for ten years. The oardwill meet and organize about the first of May and make preparations for opening the dispensary, which will be in operation after July 1st. A treas urer and a maniger of the dispensary are to be elected by the board There re several applicant for the latter po sition. To Any One Interested. Any and all persons interested THE BONDHOLDERS WIN. An Interesting Case Argned Laat. wees: Before Judge PnmeU. The Wilkes county bond case, which has attracted wide attention en ac count of the fine legal points Involved ana the probable effect of Its final de termination upon the bonds of varloua other municipalities oLthe state,ame up. Derore Judge Thomas R. PurnelL In the United States circuit court, In this city last Wednesday. This suit was flrstt)rought In the Superior court Of Wilkes In 1897 to rAnrlUt - r tuv bonds subscribed by the people of that county toward the building of the Northwestern North Carolina railroad. It being the contention of the county commissioners, ! by whom the suit was Instituted, that the railroad company had not complied with. Its part of the. contract. When the suit reached the Supreme court of North Carolina that body held that the bonds were Invalid, the opinion In the case being handed down by Associate Justice Douglas, of this city. The bondholders then brought a suit In equity In the United States circuit court te establish the validity of the bends by compelling the payment of the accumulated Inter est, and asking for the appointment of a receiver to boldthj interest until the case should be finally determined. Cast. Charles Price, of Salisbury, represented the bondholders, Judge A. C.-Avery, of Morganton, andiMr. T. B. Flnley, of Wllkesboro, appearing for . the responding commissioners of Wilkes county. The case was hard, fought, each of the attorneys covering the ground thoroughly, and making strong arguments. ' . J ; The argument was opened by Capt. Price, who spoke at length Wednesday afternoon and Thursday. morning, lie presented the jurisdictional facts and showed that the settled opinion of the legislative judicial and executive de partments of the state, as well as of the legal profeslon, was In favor of the validity of the bonds in question until the Oxford bond case, whioh was simi lar to the ene at bar, was decided. He cited numerous opinions and deoisloas to sustain his position and made a vig orous argument to the effect that the suit brought in the state court was collusive, charging that the costs in the case were paid by the commis sioners. He was followed by Mr. Flnley. whe made an able argument on the Invalid ity of the act of the legislature under which these bonds were issued. He contended that repudiation did net originate with the people of Wilkes county, but with the people who se cured the bonds in consideration of the Issuance to the county of Wilkes of stock In the Northwestern North Caro lina Railway Company, which stock afterwards proved worthless. Judge Avery made an able and ex haustive argument for the respondents (the commissioners of Wilkes, Insist ing that there was no collusion In the state court and produclug affidavits te sustain this contention, lie asserted that various cases cited by the other side could not be aocpted as authority for the contention of the complainants, and urgued at length the validity of the legislation relied on to sustain the validity of the bonds. t Upon the conclusion of the argument Judge Purnell stated that be would. sign a decree In favor of the bond holders, ordering the continuance of the case In the Circuit court and the appointment of a receiver to hold the accumulated interest on the bonds. The decree recites the fact that the bonds in question are valid and orders the treasurer and ex-treasurer of Wilkes county to pay over to the re-, celver such taxes as have been collected to pay the Interest on the bonds,, amounting to about $13,000. The com missioners of Wilkes county are en joined from Interfering in any manner with this decree. Judgs Avery Imme diately gar notice of appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, and the case will next come up before this court In Kichmond on Tuesday af Urthe second Monday In May.
