AT REST.
Tbe Gentle Nplrlt ef Willie quanta
Takes Ita Flight.
At 8 o'olock yesterday evening
the loul of Willi QuaLtz left its
earthly tenement and soared aloft to
its merited reward in a celestial
abode, while around the bedside
were grouped the devoted family
and loving friends. Death had no
sting for this noble young man, and
patiently, almost anxiously, be
awaited tbe final call with a trium
phant smile on his lips.
Mr, Quanta had suffered several
weeks with typhoid fever, and for
awhile it was thought he would
recover, but during the past few
days the young sufferer had been
gradually sinking, and it was evi
dent to the watchful eyes of loved
ones that the end was drawing near.
Mr. Quanta was 22 years of age
and was the eldest son of Mrs
Herman Quantz. He was dutiful
son, a loving brother, a faithful
friend, a oonsistent Christian.
Besides a widowed mother, the
deceased leaves a brother, Theodore,
and two sisters, Misses Berta and
Hermenla, to mourn his loss.
Mr. Quantz was a brilliant Mason
and stood high in the order.
The funeral will take place at the
Lutheran ohurch at 4 o'olock, and
will be condnoted by Rey. C B Mil
ler. The body will be interred at
the city oemetery with Masonio
honors.
The hearts of the entire oomwu
nity goes ont in deepest sympathy to
tbe bereaved family. Daily of 5th,
Funeral Friday.
All tbat was mortal of Willie
Quautz was laid beneath the sod at
the oity oemetery ridoy after
noon. A large crowd of sorrowing
friends followed the remains to the
grave, where tbe ceremonies were
concluded with the solemn and im
passive ritual of the Masonic order.
Tbe newly made mound was hid
from view by tbe numerous floral
tributes, and the gentle shower
which desoended fiom heaven keep
them fresh and beautiful.

Good Time.
Mesais. J L Brown and H G Rit
returned home last night from the
Fayetteville tournament, and report
having had a good time and speak
in glowing terms of the hospitality
of Fayettevilie's people).
On being aeked as to the correct
ness of the statement in the Char
lotte News yesterday that Concord
worked against Charlotte in her ef
fort to secure the next meeting, they
denied it most emphatically. They
stated that they were willing that
Charlotte should haye the meeting,
but were opposed to holding the con
vention in oonjunotion with the 20th
of May oelebration, rightly holding
that their association was of enough
importance of itself to hold a sep
arate and distinct tournament each
year. On tbe first ballot Conoord's
delegation were divided, giving one
vote to Charlotte and one to Greens,
boro, on the seoond ballot, one vote
to Greensboro and one to Goldsboro.
Tbey further state that. Charlotte
herself, on tbe seoond ballot, when
it was apparent she oould not secure
the meeting, voted her entire delega
tionfour votes for Goldsboro,
hence Charlotte has no kiok ooming
on the nest meeting of tbe State
Firemen's Association going to the

One of tbe meanest acts we have
noticed among tbe news of the day
is an assault on a blind man in
Sampson county by the name of
Noah Royan, who was waylaid and
beaten, supposedly to death, with
probably not a single grievance save
the guilt of scandal on tne part oi
the one suspected as perpetrator.
A Great Problem.
The matter of tbe inequality of
values put upon property returned
for taxation is just now attracting.
a it deserves to, a good deal of pub
lio attention. Our Raleigh corres
pondent has recently given some
striking instanoes of it' Thas, why
a mule should be worth $47 31 in
Robeson and another mule presuma
bly as good a one should be worth
only $22 69 in Hartford, is a myS'
tery ; but no greater mystery than
why a bioyole should be worth
$11.44 in Swain and only $10 in
McDowell. Again, if a nheep is
worth $1 07 in Alleghany it does
seem as if it ought to be worth more
than 68 cents in Lenoir. And so on
throughout the list, .bather some
people are paying too much tax in
North Carolina or others aie paying
too little. Ia any case, the iaequali
tr in valuations throughout tbe
.State is groteiqu and there ought
to be sense enough among our pee1
pie to provide a readjustment.
