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.

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 Philadelphia, the Orralia World Herald and tho Kansas City Star.

HIGH SCHOOL CLOSING. N:lPHfIll HcIhIIoiim Silili(llilly in cited to n Full llouae of Dcllchlrd fcpf clMlors. 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".

No bets fir opportunity ever existed for reat political talent to forge to the front. E'pecmlly is this true from the fact that politics in the Sontb is unsettled aud uns'eble, with to P'edominent issues. Tbe Democratic party would now drop into actional fragments but for the race problerr. E?e:y manufacturing establish ment is a staudmg advoaeof tbe , rotecuve eys e n. There is a field for some towering t olical talent to bl'ze the pathway i l tbe S,uth. Tbe pheonominal grow h of man- i fac'uriag in the South opens tbe v,y for many to use to positions of dignity and emolument. We need iiofesLdonal iuduatry. The field of literature, once pracs icilly c.ojed against Sonmern luttorp, is wide open and Boutbern ittera'.ure from Southern authors Is more eagerly sought today than from anywhere. The population is growing denser Hid ere long journalism will reach i higher stage and must have tbe more advanced talent. Great Imc". ing journals will b: needed to mould tbe advancing thought in the ex panditig development cf the Sontb. Colleges and schools are multi p'yiDj and must have able beads and i ffioient corps. There is room f r all and the man well equipped is perplexed to ohoose among his opportui ities.

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 sive cdunterjances as they sing. Miss Harris' band of little "tots" were just bo cute, lovely and sweet in their charming little mo tion son-B that the aged and staid could but descend fiom their grave and dignified mien and in sympathy be "tots" too, again. The essays of il iss Daisy Bar rier, subject. "Henry W Lionir- fellow," Miss Nina Dayvault, sub ject, "The Value of Books," Miss Olie Fisher, subject, "China and Chinese," and Miss Flossie Pounds, Bubjeet, "The Friend," 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. Mr. D B Coltrano the president of the board ot school commision cra presented diplomas to each of the class which is a new feature in the Concord Graded School Mr. Coltrane extended - his re marks in the interest of all the children of the town as invited and nrged to attend tho Oraded School. Tbe class then sane; their "Farewell to the School" whloh was the only feature of the enter tainment calculated to briug a pang of serious reflections. Rev.

Three Nutas an Their Way Home. On Thursday three children, who have no sense of speech or hearing, arrived here from Morganlon on their way to their home at Locust, in Stanly county. Tbey were of the same family two girls and one boy and are the children of Mrs. Mary Hartsell. They expeoted their deaf and dumb brother to meet them, but he tailed to be here and they spent the night with some of their friends at Forest Hill. Ills Fine Was I'ald.

Ue was ars rested on tbe State's warrant but the tows alsi had to settle tbe matter with him. Mayor Means pat a fine of $60 on the negro together witb tbe o sre, which will satisfy the town's part of the matter bat the State's partis continued, and the ne gro, after finishing his work on the chaingang will bave to give a bond for his appearanoe at the next term of oourt afterwards. The other negro, who pioked up his feet with such agility, was named Robt. Gray. He was fined $2.50 and the costs. This will no doubt learn Sim Gray that it is a dangerous pieoe of business to disobey the command of an effioer whea he is to d to halt and that it is still worse when be tarns and fires on theefficerof the law.

It is a most deplorable fact that the are some men in every com munity in the world who are ready to accept any kind of "ism" that the most depraved lanancism cud conceive of. If the snake-eaten of Africa were to send missionaries among us we believe they would find some supporters. These "Fire Baptists" to whose unhallowed ends tbe sacred name of religion ia perverted, should be egged out of the State. Greensboro Telegram, If no one attends these meetings then ther would oease.
