Passes Away on 28th of Lunjc and
Heart Maladin His 58th YearVSome
Sketches of, Ms Career Long Service
Jn'N. C. College..
Prof. Henry Thomas Jefferson
Ludwig, A. M. Ph.D., died at
his home in Mt. Pleasant on Sat-
urday night the 28th at 10 o'clock.
Bayond the community circle
it was a surprise and a shock
rarely suffered, but to those
about him i"t was but the realiza
tion of gravest fears.
His health has been preca
rious, and within the lasf few
days the end became painfully
v-isible. Tuberculosis was .the
nrime cause of death, combined
X
with heart disease.
Prof. Ludwig's many friends
hopod for him many-years vet of
the most useful period of life.
Ha died iu his 58th year.
He was a man of irreproach
able character, a consistent
member of Holy Trinity E.. L.
church and has for most of the
existence of the congregation
been a member of its council.
The deceased was conspicu
ous as a scholar, being well
versed iu all the sciences and
languages in the courses taught
in the colleges and was an ex
haustive student of each. His
extensive collateral reading
made him a most interesting
teacher who won to an unusual
degree the admiration, the es
teem and even the love of his
students.
In early life he showed an es
pecial aptness for mathematics.
He would furnish himself with a
supply of arithmetical problems
before starting out on the farm
and between the plow handles
woujd find the solutions. At
night he would place the results
on paper. He soon became rec
ognized authority in this branch.
He was elected to the tutorship
in North Carolina Collego and
pursued his studies, graduating
in 1871 with first honors in the
first class of graduates .from the
institution. II.; was elected to
tho p;'o:? rsliip of mathematics
in tho college, a place ho has
held ever since save a period of
'a few years wl en he was en
gaged iu teaching a high school
in Concord and editing tho Con
cord Tirr's ond v.lso in conduet
:ng.O;high school ia Salisbury.
This embraces tho year 1853..
His life service has been e
:oted almost cl'roly to teach
ing in North Carolina VoVtcpe.
He was a member of Co. II. ,
Sth N. C. Regime and served
through tUe entire Confederate
war. His last isonspicuous labor
was V;riirj tho history of tho
regimentiorJuJgQ Clam's booh.

many characteristics. Firm and
orthodox in. the faitA ne.vas not
demonstrative in his religious
professions: Ofstrong and un-
yielding convictions, Jp was not
dogmatic or assertive and pos
sessed in an unusual degree the'
power of harmonizing with those
with whom he was associated,
which marked him as a man
able toet along with anybody.
He was a devoted member of
the Masonic fraternity and was
secretary of the State Grange
while that organization was a
source of power and iutlaeiice in
.the State.
Prof. Ludwig was never mar,
ried, but had all the crro of raanr
agement and providing for a
family, being the stay and sup
port of his aged mother a,l two
sisters, beside the rearing of one
brother to manhood. .
The funeral servicu.i were cou
ducted at St. John's church at 9
o'clock a. m!, this (Monday)
morning by his pastor, the Rev.
J A Linn, assisted by tho Rev. S
D Steffey, and the remains were
gathered with ti. j f uL; in che
cemetery there. j
The death of this man is like
dropping a pebble in the lake of
sorrow that will carry from
North Carolina College a wave
of grief to the utmost bounds of
its attachments and will call
forth a sympathetic sigh for it
and those bound by the ties of
endearing kinship.

Letter From a Younpr Concord
Friend.
Caroleen, N. C, July 28, 1900.
Editor of The Standard,
Concord, N. C.
My Dear Sir: If you are not
in possession of the following I
will send it. Owing to tho situ
ation in China, and regarding
the market of American goods,
the Pacolet Mills, of Pacolet, S.
C.,- the second largest mill in the
South, having .something over
100,000 spindles, will havo to.
make a chango of goods suitable
for this and other countries.'
The change of goods means a'
change of
machinery.
They
hare been shipping their entire
output to China.. The mill of
course will be forced to shut
down when the change is made,
and for a time will throw about
1,500 or 1,800 hand.3 out of work.
This is a neighboring mill and
tho stock is reported to be worth
,rtf0, par value $100.
I only give you this from i
mill standpoint. The mills are
feeling the effects of the war to
no little extent. ' 1
Wishing you good luck, I am,
Yours most truly,

count of an attempted assault
iipon Miss Lillie Cisper by a

"A strange white man attemp

o'clock to commit rape on Miss
Lillie Casper, of Litakcr town

while Miss Casper was all alone,
with the exception of a'small boy
who was in the house at the

her with improper suggestions,
and she attempted to withdraw
from his presence. He followed
Jier and succeeded -in 'placing his
hands upon her but she escaped
before Vie could accomplish his
fiendish purpose.
' Mr. Casper the father of the
young lady, met the man on the

nooided her father of the at
