MR. JOHNSON DEAD.
COHNOtl!!! Ht I.RHl CUeS H I
ncmn-ouly awirel.eit Behind A
Member or Ihe Junior Order and
Odtl Fellows.
For some time it lias beon
knowo that deuth was not far oil
;or Mr. Wm. Johnson, of Foreet
Bill, who for several months h is
been unable to fill his position in
the Odell m'lls, where he had
been employed for more than 15
years.
He has had consumption for
quite a long while, and for some
time has been receiving a sicki
bent fit fund euch wet k from the
Junior Order of the United
American Mechanics and also the
Odd Fellows.
Mr. Johnson was a man of good
character, and was a man who had
'riends. He was reliable and had
the rospoct of those above and
below him in that avocation mill
work.
He leaves only a wife, together
with relatives and friends, to
mourn thedeath of a victim of the
drea.d disease. He was 28 years
ot age.
The Junior Order and the Odd
Fellows united Sunday morn
ing at 1 1 o'clock and burriod thoir
fallen brother with the honors of
each order. The funnral was
preached by Eev. J D Arnold in
the Forest Hill Methodist church.
A GREAT WORK.
The Red CroHM IJlNtribiitos 83.70O.0O0
Worth to SullerliiK Cubans.
A report has just been pub
lished by the Central Cuban
Committee, iNew York City, to
the Secretary of State that con
tains much information of a very
interesting kind and illustrates
the high rank of civilization of
our nation it we do find things to
deplore and complain about.
When it was realized that peo
ple in Cuba were starving at a
tearful rate and President Mc
Kinley made his call in Dec.,
1897 for charitable aid to the suf
forers, there was a hearty response
e 11 over the land. Quickly Miss
Clara Barton was on tho scene
and the work of relief was taken
in hand by the Red Cross Society.
The people gave money and sup
plies. The railroads and ship
l;nes m arly all carried theso sup
plies tree and even gave them the
right of way over puil for
shipments. Tho work of relief
was bat just well started when
hostilities mado it impractical
and the Red Crosa people came
from between the lines and fol
lowed closely alopg with the
America j adv mce.
Some goo.ls were conticated by
the Spauiards, of course, and
some had to be disposed of and
tho proceeds applied in other
way.
Tho list of cash contributions
printed in the report shows about
1,200 names of persons, churches
and local organizations, the total
contributions up to February 15,
18'J'J, bung $215,117.35. The con
tributors o! supplies f rin a lit t
of about 500 nam. a, with an esti
mated aggregate value of $G8,
030.41. Besides thin, thirty-eight
car-loads of supples, vnluod at
$G6,C71.77, were sent from various
cities. It ia stated that the entire
cost of eclkctin, transporting
and distributing the donations,
aggreg.itiug more than $370,000,
was on'v 2U per cent. About
$7,500 will remain after all out
standing bills are paid, and this
sum wi l be turned over to Miss
Clara Barton to aid-in the hos
pitiil work in Cuba which thf
President, the Secretary of War
and Gen. Brooke have asked her
to establish.
Of outside charities which have
sent supplies to Cuba thorepir
mentions the Citizens' Committee
of Philadelphia, the Associate
Society of the Rod Cross of

The court house was comfort
ably filled with ea-:er spectators
today (Thursday) to hear the w 11
i endured program of tLe Concord
High School.
Rev. T W Smith lead in
prayer.
Mr. Thompson announced that
the guthering was situp'y the
closin? cf the Concord Hinh
School and not a commencement
in auy true sense. There were
no pretentious to orations or
essays but selections would be
ricited by those who had finished
the' ourse.
The selections were found by
the audience to be very cood in
deed aud most of them were well
delivered.
"Responsibility of Young Men,"
by Ralph M Odell was rendered
in a manner that indicated that
the speaker may yet take high
rank as an orator.
"The Old Clock," by Miss
Snther was a beautiful doliuea-
tion of life scenes importing the
thought food therein with the
monotone of the old clock as it
seems to say "Forever, Nuver,
Never, Forever."
"The Blue and tho Gray," by
Miss McConnell was ot that
thrilling strain Bo'deeply fiilin.'
tho popular mind now, that in
her way of reciting it, you were
lost to all but the eu.o ions the
words inspired.
Miss Fisher recited "The Old
Cinoo"in rhythmic flow but the
ear of the writer could not catch
all aud enjoy its strains as those
iierer.
Mr. Henry Craven leaned "Im
pulse and Duty" wild an eaey,
na'ural grace that eeeined. like h'8
cwn thoughts. The ml j ct wis well
aoaUz?d and was truly niiifjiog and
Ui j'-iya'uli".

Our ear a so failed to cu'.cb all the
sentiment,
"My Mird to Me a K;rgJm L"
by Misa King was eubhma in its
depth of thought and evidently well
euough said, but was broken into by
our inability to keep the whola

The annual commencement of
the Concord Graded Schools held
in the court house Friday night
was a pleasurable occasion.
The chancel was decorated and
the class motto "To Be Rather
Than to Seem" was suspended
gracefully oyer the five girls who
have just finished the course.
U)v. 0 B Miller opened the
exercises with an invocation after
which the program was rendered
without announcement. Proi.
Ktebler presided at the organ and
that whole enthusiastic band of
singers seemed in the heights
joyousness as they sang to perfect
time and great unison of chord.
It is always a treat to hear these
childrod and watch their expres

Miss Harris' band of little "tots"
were just bo cute, lovely and

fellow," Miss Nina Dayvault, sub
ject, "The Value of Books," Miss
Olie Fisher, subject, "China and

were all of high and edifying
order. Miss Mary Strieker re
cited a poem on the great snow
clad natural cross in the rnoun
tains of Colorado entitled "The
Mont of The Holy Cross." The
tones, the emphasis and the
enunciation were up to the
average of the same number of
speakers in ' any performance.
They showed good training.

"Farewell to the School" whloh

pang of serious reflections.
Rev. B L Iloge closed the ex

session of the Graded School and
the exercises as well as the gen

shows it to be at the high water

On Thursday three children, who

The Pleule Postponed.
The picnic at Rock Hill Saturday
to be had by tbe operatives of tie
shops at Spencer has been post
poned on acoount of tbe inability
to secure cars just at this time on
account of tbe heavy travel, so the
Salisbury correa pond ant of tbe Ob
server says.
I oonsider it not only a pleasnre but a
duty I owe to my neighbors to tell about
the wonderful cure effected in my case
by the timely use of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
I.was taken very badly with flux and
procured a bottle of this remedy. A
few doses of it effected a permament
cure. I take pleasure in reoco mend
ing it to others suffering from that
dreadful disease.J. W. Lynch, Dorr,

The meeting of the Christian
Reid Book Club witb Mrs P B Fet
zeron Saturday was one of unusual
Interest.

The ancient believe that rheumati&m
was the work of a demon within a man.
Any one who has had an attack of scia
tic or inflammatory rheumatism will
agree that tbe infliction is damoniac
enough to warrant the belief. It baa
never been claimed that Cbamberlain'B
Fain Balm would oast out demons, but
it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds
bear testimony to '..the truth of this
statement. One application relieves the
Pain, and tbia quick relief which it
affords ia alone worthmany times its
cost. For sale bvM. L.Marsb & Co. '

Greensboro is taking hold of
the good roads movement in a
way that it woald soem would be
a decided etimulus. There is a
good roads olub of men who
agree to pay certain amounts per
mile for 40 miles of macadamized
roads to be made in the county
outside of the oity limits. The
subscriptions run from $200 to
$4000 and aggregate thus for
$6,600. This is to be given to
the oo anty commissioners as the
work progresses.
It certainly displays much
earnestness in a eoad cause.
Cotton I p to Time.
We learn with much satis fac
tien from one of our leading
farmers of No. 3 township that
the cotton crop is in better con
dition at this time than it was at
the same period last year. Though
planting may have been a little de
layed by the late Spring,the season
has been favorable to a prompt
germination and growth so that
to oar pleasant surprise the cotton
crop is well up to time.

Preferred Barbed Wire and Nwamps.
On Thursday night two "hoboes,"
both oolored, jumped from the pass
enger train, to escape tbe officers.
Mr. Lecke Parish, who was assisting
that night, chased the negroes bat
the front men went to regions at
molested by officers. They went
down a large embankment and
landed in a barbed wire fence. After
paying their respects and several
pieces of clothing to this impediment
they passed hurriedly to the swamp
where they took slow and cautious
steps, for the mod was over a foot
deep. Bat after all they escaped the
thirty days sentence to the chaingang
which does more than tear clothing
