I n IM'Mi Can't Muko Headway-Pit nMcrs the Kmc The war in Africa is being far from a walk-orer by the British, while it marks no resent special aggressiveness on the part of the Boors. The Modder River battle some time since was exceedingly hard fought, and while a victory for the English it was hardly fruit ful. At Stormberg last Sunday the English Boomed misguided and quickly lost nearly 700 -non cap tured. Another effort by Gen. Moth uen on the Modder River on the 11th proved disastrous and dem onstrated tho fact that he cannot with his present force dislodge tho enemy. It is uncertain what are tho relative losses in this battle. The British had 320 wounded and some forty killed. At Ladysraith the 6iogo con tinues with au occasional sortie of some briL'iance and calculated to cheer tho English and hold the Boors at cautious distance. Re cently a dash was made and a heavy siege gun was captured and destroyed. The Boers closed iu on the rear but the British cut their way through and back to their stronghold. This seems the only cheering incident ro contly for the British. The war is yet on British 6oil and three cities are cut off, though messages sometimes pass tho linos at each, Ladysmith, Kimberly and Mafeking. From N. it Township. Sacndhks, Dec. 13.

"Washington is dead! "Wash ington is dead!" Thoso are the words that passed from lip to ear and brought sadness to many hearts a hundred years ago to day. Washington was a strong and robust man and his fatal illness lasted only about twenty-four hours. Tho announcement of his death was a surprise to everybody. He was but sixty-eight years old, and tho people had reason to believe that tho great general would bo spared to see many more years. But knowing that his ancestors had never lived to ripo old ago, Washington had already pro- pareu tor ueatn ana nuu ar ranged his business, written his will, and had his family vault made ready to receive his body. On December 10, 1799, howroto out extensive plans for the man agement of his lands. These plans he reviewed and completed on Wednesday, December 11th. Thursday morning was bright and sunny but the day ended with rain, hail, and snow. Wash- ington returned to the house at 3 o clock from a trip over the farm. Ho was cokl and his great coat was wot and tho snow clung to his hair. Dinner had already been wait ing for some time and he sat down to the table without chang ing his clothes. Tho evening of the same day ho wrote the last letter ho ever penned. It was to Hamilton and was on the subject of establish ing a military school. On Friday, Dec. 13th, snow continued to fall but Washington went out a few rods from the house and marked some trees that ho waiited to be cut down. After returning to the house in the evening he complained of of the end. About 3 o'clock on Saturday morning, Dec. 14, lie called Mrs. Washington and with great dif ficulty informed her that ho hud a chill. At daylight ho was bled, about a half a pint of blood be ing drawn from his arm. A vinegar stew was tried lor the throat, but, without effect. Three doctors wero called in, more blood was drawn from the arm and calamel was adminis tered. Lato in tho evening he said to Mrs. Washington, "Go to my desk and in my private drawer you will find two papers; bring them to me. These are my wills, preserve this one and burn the other." At 5 o'clock he said to Dr. raik : I die hard, but 1 .:m not afraid to go." Tho other two doctors wero asked to come in and he was raised up in bed. After a few moments ho said: "I am just going. See that I am de cently buried. Do not let my body be put into the vault till three days after I am dead.'' Upon being assured that these directions would be followed 1 e said '"Tis well." These were his last words. He calmly felt his own pulse, folded his arms across his breast and quietly passed away. In this manner tho great Gen eral met death. The time was about 10 p. m. Svitimhiv nio'bt Doe. II. IT'.l'.l. At 1- o'clock his body was car ried down staii-s and laid in the dininsr room and on Dec. IS it was deposited in the family vault about 100 yards from 1he hous and in sight of the Pote.niae. There it remained till lsli" when it was removed to a new vault a little farther down the river and where it now rests. To this spot thousands of pil grims resort every year. It was before the old vault the great Lafayette stood iu rever ence and silent meditation upon his visit to America in 1J4. It was near thq new vault, that the Prince of Wales planted a ! ti wH' his own hands when he visited this country in 1800. It is to the spot, too, that the Presidents of JJio United States, statesmen, lovers of pat riot ism aud of history resort, and where President McKinley has promised to deliver an address this day.

The opening ad dress was delivered by Dr. C S Blackwell, of Wilmington, and he was followed by Dr. Chivers, who spoke on "Disciples and Apostles."

Mrs. J J Barringer died at 8 o'clock five minutes Wednesday night, the 13th, of pneumonia, at tho age of 03 years. She had been enfeebled by lagiippeand her vitality could not boar this virulent attack of double pneu monia. Sho was ill but five days. Her maiden name was Mary Louisa, the oldest child of Da vid Barrier, deceased, and the only full sister of Mrs. G E Ritchie and J D Barrier. She was also the half sister of F V y D and E D Barrier. At tho age of 11 years she be came motherless, and with a pre cociousness rarely met, sho as sumed much of the parental over sight of two brothers and a sis tor, a tact which was conspicu ous through her whole life and was in full exercise when bidden to lay down this mother care. In 1856 she was married to Mr. John J Barringer, to whom she bore eight daughters and one son. The son, Albert, diod at 8 years of age, and one daughter, Mrs. John Holdbrooks, died leaving four small children, who became tho objects of her mater ual charge The surviving children are Mrs. Jackson Safrit, Mrs. Jno.

The earthly remains wero laid to rest today (Thursday) at St. John's church amid sleeping an cestors and her nearest of the dead, after the funeral rites by her pastor, Rev. S D StelTey. Concord is Known hy Them. Each year Concord and Cabar rus county is a rendezvous for tho Northern men who wish to con e to the South and spend a while hunting. Somo of them come regularly each year and recommend this place to others. Already this year a number have been here, among them tho at torney general. Last week four arrived hero in the county from New Vork aud on Wednesday two more came from Pennsyl vania. Thoso men too are always sociable and willing to pay for all favors shown them by our people. A i'reacher (might iu His Sin. A well-known travelling man who came up from Lincolntou Wednesday, tells us that lato Tuesday afternoon a farmer about two miles from Lincolntou killed a 2-M) pound hog. Ho left it hanging over night, and Wednesday morning on going out to take it down, found the hog gone. He saw some tracks leaning out into the woods and decided to look a Utile further to see if he could find tho direction tho thief had gone. Ho soon came to a rail fence, and there he found the hog hanging on one side and a negro preacher on the other. It seems that in attempting to cross tho fence Lwith the hog on his shoulder he let it slip. The gambler stick caught him across the throat and the back of tho neck being against Lhe fence rail, he wu. choked to death. Nowton Enter prise. Dev. Ogleshy a Siipernumertry. We note that Rev.

The Process He Went Through With lhe Keprcsenlalives-.Ilis Duiightcr Not in Lotc With the Capital. Washington, D. C Miss Adah L Roberts, daughter of the man from Utah, who camo to Wash ington as his private secretary, is not in love with tho national capital. Tho gay and festive sightseer has marked her for his own, and the snapshot fiend pur sues her, even to tho neglect of Cousin Georga Dewey. The young lady thinks that these denizens of the effete East arc hardly to be compared with the vigorous manhood of tho West. There is no doubt now that tho Roberts goose is cooked. Whilst tho other members were being sworn in ho was compollod to stand aside. That ho man aged to secure a seat at all was a matter of chance. When the space occupied by seats was cleared for tho biennial drawing, he took his place with tho othors iu tho rear of tho railing, eagerly listening for his name, but when tho balls in the box wore ex haustod his name had not boon callod. As ho had not taken tho oath no ball had been placed in the box for him, but by some acci dent the names of two Repub lican members had not been called when tho balls were ex hausted. Tho speaker then ex plained that tho balls were ex hatisted. and asked if any mem bers had not been provided with seats. Tho two Republicans and Mr. Roberts came forward. "If there bo no objection," said the speaker, "those gentlemen whose names havo not been drawn will now select seats." No objection appeared, ami Mr. Roberts man aged to find a vacant seat iu the extreme rear of the hall, in the "Cherokee Strip." There he pitched his lonely tent. The petitions which Repre sentative Taylor presented to tho House protesting against the seating of Mr. Roberts were very bulky. They consisted of tWO,'A1btii'n,,taiif'mi1tei-,'V''r'icisvArn'A the American flag. These rolls wero stacked up in tho area iu front of tho clerk's desk, whore they impeded traffic until they were removed. They wore col lected by the cock-suro Now Vork newspaper which thinks it has a contract for running the United Statos. Tho special committee ap pointed to try Roberts is hinting that a junketing trip to Utah at the expense of the people would be the proper caper. Roberts will appear before this august tribunal shortly, and will then be cast into outer darkness. The lleethoven Club Meets. The meeting of tho Beethoven Club at the home of Miss Lucy Lore oti Wednesday afternoon, Doc. 13, 1899, added another member to the list of delightful meetings this club has had since its organization. Quito a num ber of the members wero prosent and threo visitors Miss Mont gomery, of Sunderland Hall, Mosdames Lore and King added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion. Mrs. M II, Caldwell, our worthy president, presided over the meeting. After the transac tion of the usual business, the following grogramme was most excellently rendered: Paperou "Moritz Mosykowkj" by Mrs. R S Harris, gave us a vivid picture of the composer in his homo life, while tho incidents in the life of Wieniawski, the violinist, as read by Mrs. Harris were amusing and interesting. Vocal solo "Little Boy Blue" and "The Rosary" wero sweetly sung by Miss Roso Harris. Piana solo "Nightingale," by Nevin, was gracefully executed by Miss Lore. Piano solo "Narcissus," by Nevin, was played in au easy manner by Miss Van Wagner. Paper, "Music and Intellect,'' from the pen of Robt. W Hill, was read by Mrs. W R Harris. After the club had enjoyed the duiuly aud most delicious re freshments, socharmingly served by our popular hostess, assisted by Mosdames Loro and King, and we udjouruod to meet with Sunderland li.

Even here in Concord the re port is boing circulated that we aro now quarantined against Salisbury and that tho condition of that place is very dangerous. What cases of smallpox have been found there have had prompt atteution and there is not a caso in the town or in less than a mile of tho town. The roiiowing card over the signa ture of Dr. W L Crump, the county superintendent of health appeared in the Salisbury Sun Thursday evening: "In view of tho exaggerated reports of smallpox in Salisbury circulated over the State, I, ovei my signature as superintendent of health of Rowan county, de siro to stato tho facts.
