Oae can hear all kinds of reports on the streets about tome one being in town that bas been exposed to smallpox, but nothing has resulted from the reports. A negro was in town Thursday night bailing from Charlotte, and he was informed by Policeman Boat that his presence was not wanted in this place, but inttead of ths negro leaving he came np town. Policeman Bjtt followed and succeeded in getting him vaccinated, but fearing that this was not sufficient he was sent out of town. This morning two small boys got off of tbe north-bound train, not looking to be over twelve years old, aud were beating the train. Police man Boat succeeded in capturing one of them and released him when be consented to leave town, Tbey came on tip town, 'and after finding hat Chief Boger had his eyes upon them they went op Chureh atree' towards O Jell's factory. The Standard at once telephoned foi them to look ont for them op there, and they were sent on np tbe road. We are glad that our officers are keeping a close eye on this floating population, and we hope that tbe colored people will not harbor any jtrangers Daily of 28th. - In the City of tbe Dead.

Salibbury World. CONCORD, N. C, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY THE V. M. C.'S or Ceaeerd When and Where Or ganised Oilier ThlDKi. Very many Carolinians will know what tbe letters, "V. M. C." sandn for, though if the writer knows he is not allowed to tell, as this is one of the things that a member of the Royal Arcanum most ponder in ms heart. Tbe Royal Arcanum was fourth in organization in our city and wae organized juet about one year before tbe Old Fellows revised tnir loag. Tbe Cabarrus Connoil, No. 1205, Royal Arcanum was organized on the night of tbe 26. h of November, 1889, with the following charter members : Mensrs. Luther Boat, Frank Good- nn, Rpbt.. Gibson, M M Gillon, John A Kimmons, Cbas G Mont gomery, Frank L Smith, J W Peeler, John A 8ime, JohnC W adawortb, Jeaoe Willeford, Rev. C M Payne, and DrB. J S Lafierty and R S Young. We notice among the names of charter members Mr. Jesse F Wille ford, wbo wao also a prominent Odd Fellow. Unfortunately, how ever, be withdrew from tbe Royal Arcanum about four months before hie deatb, thereby receiving no death benefits. Mr. Willeford was also elected Secretary at their first meeting, we find. Tbe order has increased in mem bership gradually each year until it now numbers forty-two. Out of this whole number, tbey have never had a death in tbe fraternity. This order baoits own ball, which is upstairs over Dr. Johnson's drug store, and is nicely furnished. This order is a fraternal benefici ary organization. They have both half rate and full rate certificates, which entitles tbe holder to 11,500 and (3,000 respectively, tbe amount to be paid to bis widow or any designated one at the death of the member. This lodge also has a compulsory sick- benefit, which requires that the order, in case of tbe sickness of the brother member, to carry bis insurance policy until he is again able to take it up. During all this member's sickness, and including th amount tbey have paid out to keep up his policy, still none of this amount is deducted from the amount that is paid the widow at bis deatb. The above are ths regular rules of the order, though existing cir cumstances sometimes call for tbe helping still more of the widow and orphans, and to this they also re spond. This order alao bas a most beau tiful burial ceremony, but, as be fore slated, they have never yet pBPn called on to ad minster one. Durinit the year 1897, the lodge added le its list new members, and from their organization to the pres ent time, they have only lost alto gether by suspension, withdrawal and removal, six members. The times of meeting of this or ganization is on tie first and third 1 ues.iay nights of each month, in their ball. Their present officers, who are elected aonuallv, are as follows: W (i Boshamer. Regent; W L Bell, Vice-Regent; J F Goodson. Seoretas rv; R E Gibson, Treasurer; John A Kimmons, Collector; tie. W f Mo Ghee, Chaplain; J L Hartsell, Ora tor; Geo. E Fisher, Guide; M L Blackwelder, Sentry; and C A Dry, Warden. Thus closes tbs different points of interest of the V. M.

Our town has been yisited by a married couple who would not giye their names or address They seem to be in pretty eood circumstances. They stopped at the hotel, and as Mr. Lentz, the proprietor, keeps no register, tbey were not required to giye their names. They lett Friday for Albemarle. Mr. W G Barringer's wine bar rels were visited night before last by three men who have been suc cessful in keeping their identity a secret They had one of his cows tied as it they were going to "cab bage" her too. Some have said that they only intended to keep her qniet, as her mouth was tied shut. One of Mr. Barringer's daughters went out on the back porch that night and heard some one, but thonght it was her broth er and called him. lie was, how ever, at the barn and answered.

He has not been in our town sir.ee tbe 29:h of Den cember. Tbe other is a negro namtd Bob Wbite, wbo formerly drove the dray wagon to Pattcrsons's mill, and who was indicted for the embezzlement ef Borne money belonging to a col ored organization.

The inter ment took place today (Friday) at Davidson College. A countryman wandering about a 'churchyard came npon a stou- having the inscription, ' S.c transit gloria niundi." ''What does It mean ?" he asked ef of the sexton, wbo bad been explain ing tbe inscription to him. The sexton peered toward i', and not wishing to show any ignorance, replied, "Well, it means that he wae sick transiently, aud wi.nt to glory Monday morning." Henry Miller on the niaud. When Col.

Mr. Charley Frszer, manager oi the Steam Laundry, owing to the f ict that they deal with quite a lot of traveling men's and some colored people's clothing, bas deemed it advisable to have all of the laundry force vacinated, which he did this (Friday) morning. This is a very reasonable view in which to look at the matter, and will ward off any suspicion on the part of tbe people. WHOLE NO. 458 NO FUNERALS FOR TliEM. Clot lien or the Atlnnflnnla Bnrnrd Treated to a III id-Winter Balb. The colored men who rfficiated at the funeral of William Jaoknon jestorday, ay that if ihere are auy more smallpox patients to be buried, fiey respectfully decline to act in aoy capacity. Tbey are cbsritable, loey say, aud they be'ieve in show ing the dead, the proper courtesies, but tbey do not care to go tbro jgb tbe same experience that was forced on them this morning. There were five in the funeral party that escorted the remains of Jackson to tbo cemeler yesterday, Amonz the numbpr was El De Brugb, Dr. McComb's driver, Ed insisted ibat be was not afraid of smallpjx germs, eo he was selected to drive the wagon to the funeral ground?. The other four men fol lowed at a respectful dis.ance. Wben the cemetery was reached, five mea lowered tbe body in tbe 10-foot grave that had been pre pared and came back to the city. This morning it was suggested toat soma kind of disinfectant should be used by these men. Finally it was decided that tbey go to tbe creek below tbe city; take a winter bath and there burn all of the clothing tbat they wore to tbe funeral. Officer Hall escorted four of tbe men to the creek west of the city and another officer went witb Ed De Brugh to the creek below tbe orphanage. After it was all over De Brugh stated that he would not effioiate at aDy more funerals, especially when the occasion demands such rigid en forcement of iht law of disinfecting. Charlotte News.

They now have a new Wes ton engine, and also have the other one too, so that in ca e an accident happens ith tbe one, they cam at oace shift the burden upon tie other. The putting in of tbe new ma obinery was under the management of Mr. E T Nye, an electrician from Philadelphia, Mr. Nye informs us that these new dynumoj are capable of giving a higher voltage than the former ones, and can make our street lights unusually bright. In order to Ust the machinery Thurs day li ght be gave the street lights an unusual amount of voKage, and found next morning Uaf. quite number of tbe lamps were burnt out on account of it. As for arc lights, this nic'uintry could give them to us, but both en gines would have to run at tbe same time, having none to fill bick rn, as they will h&ve in the future. I will be a constant pull for tbe ma. ohipory, and will be taxed very hea vily all the time, in the bama way m this one engine has been in tbe past. This was oue reason why there ban been so much trouble about the lights. This engine bad just had more to do than it ought to have done.
