THE SAMUELS CASE.
Testimony Shows Up Strong for the
Prosecution Other News.
Special to The News.
Greensboro, N. C, Jan. 22. Testimony
of Government witnesses in the Samuel
case in the Federal court Saturday
was strong for the prosecution. After
concluding the identification of reports
and diaries filed by Samuel in the Rev
enue Agents' office, Chief Clerk Grace
testified that the reports and chicks
in payment of informers' fees showed
that Samuel had indorsed for other
parties and collected informers' fees
on 150 distilleries as destroyed from
July 1903 to Aprile 1905. The next wit
ness who had been reported as inform
er, and whose collected check signed
in Samuel's handwriting, testified that
he reported a still to Officer Bryan, but
never had made any written report,
was paid four dollars by him, but never
heard of any $10 check noro had auth
orized Samuel to sign one.
At the afternoon session, C. "W. Min
ter swore he took an order in 1904 from
Samuel to James Comb's blockade still
for two gallons of liquor, brought li
quor to Samuel's room in Wilkesboro.
W. N. Anderson testified that he
worked for Jim Combs making block
ade whiskey in the winter of 1904 at
two places, both being steam distiller
ies of one hundred gallons capacity
each. Jonah Myers testified he worked
at saw mill in a quarter of a mile of
one of James Comb's distilleries elev
en months, was run by steam and was
VERY MANY HONOR
DEAD M ISTER
A Large Crowd Attended the Fun
eral Services of the Late Rev.
J. A. Dorritee, at Westminster
Church Yesterday Afternoon.
Floral Offerings were Beautiful.
"Tell my people I am departing in
peace and my peace I leave with
them."
This was the message that Rev.
James A. Dorritee sent to the congre
gation of Westminster church, Dil
worth. It was delivered to Rev. Alex-
ander Martin and by him delivered to
the congregation who loved Mr. Dor
ritee. yesterday afternoon at the fu
neral services of this good man.
The beautiful little church, that will
ever stand as a monument to the be- i

hour named for the service. People
from all sections of the city, the rich
and poor, were there to pay the last
mark of respect to him, who in life, was
their friend.
The handsome steel-grey casket oc
cupied the central position before the
altar and was in full viewof the large
congregation. Around, over and above
it, were many designs made of the
sweetest of blossoms; and resting ten-
in Charlotte begun just as Mr. Dor
ritee's closed. He could see and feel
the influence of the dead man. It is not
difficult ; to understand why Mr". Dor
ritee was so universally loved when
it is remembered that his religion was
broad and he loved all; and that love
was a sympathetic love that took in all
denominations.
The closing talk was made by Rev.
Plato Durham and was both beautiful
and pathetic. Mr. Durham said that the
dead man was his, friend; and that
he felt as if he would like to kneel be
side the casket" and whisper in his ear,
"Dorritee, I love you." Death, the
speaker said, would never seem to him
as horrible since he witnessed how
patiently and uncomplainingly Mr. Dor
ritee waited for the summons of his
Master. - He was a Christian unafraid.
His life was a blessing to all he came
in contact with and his death was that
of the true Christian. j
A toiichine' incident during the ser
vice was the singing, of "Under His
Wing," by Mrs. C. C. Hook and Mrs.
J. C. McMillan. The last prayer-meet-ius:
service Mr. Dorritee attended, he
Bang, at least one or two verses, he
being unable to finish the song. During
its rendition there were few dry eyes
in the large congregation.
From the church the body was taken
in charge by the Knight Templars and
the Masons conducte dthe services at
the grave. A large crowd was present.
The active pall-bearers were Messrs.
H. C. Long, J. A. Solomon, A. M.;

witnesses testified to the good charac

prosecution, but that Samuel's reputa

all these that the bad name which had
been given revenue officers in Wilkes,

Dorritee's departure, nature seemed to
smile because the God of Nature had
taken him unto His own.
"Not ftie least impressive sight was
the presence at the funeral services of
the different organizations which the
dead minister was connected. First to
arrive at the church were the; Knight
Templars, of Charlotte Commandery
No. 2, in charge of Acting Eminent
Commander, William Anderson. This
noble band of charity-loving, God-fearing
men arrayed in their gilt and braid
and with their white plummed hats,
took their seats to the front, close by
the coffin that 'contained the remains
of one of their number.
Next, the members of the Charlotte
Artillery came in told took seats to
the right. Then a large body, repre
senting the Pythian lodges of the city
filed in and took, seats to the left. Last
to come was a detachment from the
Hornets Nest Riflemen. By the time
these arrived all the available space in
the church was taken and they stood
'in the left aisle, during the entire ser
vice. '
The service opened with the rendi
tion by the choir of "It is Not death
to Die," after which Rev. Alexander
Martin, in a most pathetic manner,
told of, his last talk with Mr. Dorritee
in which he gave to him the message
Was Held From St. Peter's Episcopal
Church Yesterday Afternoon.
At St. Peter's Episcopal Church yes
terday afternoon at 4.30 o'clock, the
funeral services over the remains of
Mrs. T. S. Clarkson were conducted by
Rev. Harris Mallinckrodt.
The large auditorium of the church
was filled, every seat being taken.
This, in a measure, attested the popu
larity of the deceased.
The floral offerings were 'exceeding
ly beautiful and very numerous. From
the church the body was taken to Elm
wood, where the last sad rites were
performed.
The pall-bearers were: Capt. A. J.
Eeall, Messrs. C. E. Frick, W. C. Max
well, C. H. Duls, Wade H. Harris, J. P.
Wilson. George H. Brockenbrough and
A. L. Smith.
At the home on Ninth street, a con
tinual stream of friends passed in and
out yesterday. Mrs. Clarkson was
popular with all conditions of our peo
ple. She was a true friend, a sympa
thetic friend. No matter where trou
ble was, there her good, kind heart
and hands made that trouble beara
ble. This was the secret of her popular
ity, and this is why her death is so
sincerely mourned.
Rev. A. R- Shaw keenly regrets his
failure to reach Westminster church
in time for Rev. J. A. Dorritee's funer
al service. Fbur o'clock had been an
nounced as the hour for the service.
The service was held at three o'clock.
Mr. Shaw "reacfied" the church foo'late
to take part in the service. He says
that had he reached the church in time
he would tenderly have placed a flower
of affection on the casket of his be
loved brother.

MUSIC WAS DELIGHTFUL.
A Fine Program of Music Rendered at
the Buford Yesterday.
The patrons at the Buford Hotel
heard some fine music there yesterday
during the dinner hour. At 1:30 o'clock
Mr. D. Amatti Richardson, and his or
chestra commenced playing in the par
lors and all durins the dinner hour,
the music continued. Many of the
guests stopped in the parlors after
dinner and remained there until the
music stopped. This well known or-
chestra will furnish music at the Bu
ford everr Sunday at this time. It
proved a decided success yesterday,
and Mr. C. E. Hooper, the proprietor,
was congratulated on every hand for
the delightful innovation that he is
treating his quests to.

AND NOW IT'S CHICO CIGARS.
Interesting Talk by Woodall & Shep
pard on What Makes a Cigar Popu
lar. '
The remarkable success of Wads
worth Bros.' Chico cigar in getting
into the mouths of smokers in Char
lotte is astonishing.
Less than a year ago the Chico was
unknown here. To-day, it is the most
popular cigar in Woodall & Sheppard's
large stock.
"Advertising alone will n6t make a
cigar popular," said Messrs. Woodall
& Sheppard. "A cigar must be good
to meet with a sale in this city.s I do
not know of a town where the smok
ers are as discriminating as they are
in Charlotte, and the fact that they
have made Wadsworth Bros.' Chico
their favorite, speaks volumes for its
quality. While it sells for 5c, is is
better than the average ten center, so
that it reaches all classes of smokers.
It is an all long Havana filled cigar,
and a good one, that I am glad to
; recommend to my customers."
