Gen. Robert E. Lee's birthday
was duly observed and recognized
by the Daughters of the Confed
eracv. Chanter No. 78, at their
business meeting: at the residence
of Capt. T. B. Beall, on Saturday
afternoon, Jan. 19th. Miss Bes
sie Henderson represented her
mother. Mrs. John S. Henderson,
who snt in her resignation, as
president of the chapter and gave
over the gavel to a successor. But
the chapter being grateful for all
the good work so faithfully done
by Mrs. Henderson when the or
ganization was in its infancy could
not accept the resignation. Thia
chapter of Rowan county is the
third ever organized in this State
and has ever been forward doing
good work for the many causes
brought before it. After much
friendly talk and pleasant pro and
cons, Mrs. Henderson was re
tained as president of the chapter
with thanks and appreciation by
all of its members for having or
ganized it and . for her continued
good wbrk , during thepast five
years. t
It was motioned then that all of
the faithful and tried officers be
re-elected, which was given by a
rising vote. .
Mrs. Jno, S. Henderson, presi
dent; Mrs. T. B. Beall, 1st vice-president;
Mrs. E. B. Neave, 2nd
vice-president; Mrs. F. J. Mur
doch, 3rd vice-president; Miss
Bessie Henderson, secretary; Mrs.
C. R. Barker, treasurer.
The next business was the an
nouncement that f 25 had been
promised the Bull Run and Ma
nassas cemeteries by the State at
large instead of 250 as was print
ed. This chapter having already
sent $5 for this purpose, this mat
ter was disposed of. The next ob
ject was the Vance portrait which
is to be painted for the North
Carolina room in Richmond.
$10 was given to this fund. Mrs.
Murdoch here presented the cause
of the sufferers from the flood at
Galveston, Texas, at Camp Whar
ton as described by Gail Gordon.
Mrs. Thomas Murphy being pres
ent reported that the 30 made at
her residence by a concert for the
Lee monument, she desired turned
into the treasury of the chapter
and when asked if she had any
particular object she desired to re
ceive the good of it, replied she
preferred it going to the, relief of
the living. . Mrs. E. B. Neave
motioned to. give $25 of the amount
to. Camp Wharton, of Texas.
This carried and the treasr
urer authorized to forward
this amount. The next and very
important matter to be considered
was the Arlington dead which are
to be removed and buried else
where according to an act of
Congress, $25,000 having been ap
propriated for exhuming, but no
means for transporting for burial.
North Carolina desires to bring
her dead to the State to reinter.
The State president to further
investigate andinotify the chapters
the amounts ; needed for this
most important object. The next
matter reachedfwas the little chap
ter of children, the . Southern
Cross, which works with much
energy and devotion. $5.00 was
voted them to be sent them by the
Treasurer, Mrs. C. R. Barker.
Miss Henderson then read an
account of the Montgomery con
vention, showing a membership of
20,000 members in the organiza
tion, with more than 400 chapters.
Of this number the membership of
Noith Carolina is 1200, with. 27
chapters. Mrs. Tiernan presented
the cause of Old Bianford Church,
near iretersourg va., tne scene
of so many battles, and where so
many North Carolinians fought
- and were killed. This appeal to
preserve this church came from
A. P. Hill Camp of Veterans. It
was built in 1738. It is to be non
s:ctarian, and each State to put in
a memorial window. Tho' late
Mrs. Tiernan fascinated her
hearers with the richness and music
of her voice and fain would have lis
tened longer. $o.00 was given to
this object, making in all $45 paid
out in one afternoon.
The State President reported a
paper to jmemoralize the Legisla
ture in behalf of. the Soldiers
Home. This paper contains the
names of 1,200 women Daughters

London, Jan. 21.-At noon the
Oneen had sliarhtlv rallied. There
is no failure of strength.
London, Jan. 21. A report was
circulated at 11:30 that the Queen
had died. It w as soon shown to
be untrue". Following the report
came the official bulletin showing
her Maiestv was bettter. The
Queen is kept alive by the admin
istration of oxygen. "The official
bulletin is as follows:
CoweSj Isle of Wight, 11 a. m.
The Queen has slightly rallied
since midnight. . Her Majesty has
taken some food and refreshing
sleep.. There is no further loss of
strength but the symptoms which
give most anxiety are those which
point to a local obstruction of the
brain circulation. '
London, Jan. 21. A bulletin
issued by the physicians at 11
o'clock indicates that they fear
death may come suddenly as the
result of pressure of blood-clots
on the brain. This report gives
strength to the report that her
Majesty. suffered a stroke of
apoplexy,' resulting in partial
paralysis. i : "
London, Jan. 21. At 8:05 this
morning ; a , special iram leu
Victoria station for the Isle of
Wight with the Emperor William,
Prince of Wrales, Duke of York
and Duke of Connaught aboard.
The Prince was plainly a very
sick man. An attack of heart
rouble had; forced a delay of !
start twelve hours. During that
ime the physicians had been con
stantly in attendance upon him
and though he rallied sufficiently
o undertake the journey wide
spread anxiety was felt lest the
shock from; his grief . and the
strain under which he is laboring
may have a serious effect. -When
he tram lex tr it was reported by
members of the royal family that
the Quefen was sinking rapidly.
London, Jan. 21. Sir Alfred
Gorroda, one of the physicians
of the queen who on account of
physical infirmity, is unable to go
o Osborne House, said today to a
correspondent: The queen, I un
derstand, is in a high fever
brought about by extreme anxiety
and together with the natural
weakness of old age it has serious-
y affected her heart but her majes
ty may linger in life weeks longer.
London, J an. 21 . 3 p. m.
Speaker Gully received a telegram
this afternoon to the House of
Commons stating that the Queen
was dying. Officials at Windsor
Castle are preparing for a sudden
return to court. The Lord Chancel-

described jas arranging for any
eventuality. An unofficial despatch
rom Windsor to the Exchange
Telegram Company says a private
message received from Windsor
at mid-day says there is no hope
for the Queen. She is sinking
fast. It might, however, be noted
that many reckless rumors are

says editorially:
It was with reluctance and great
regret that the editors of the Tar
Heel accepted, the i resignation of
Mr. Whitehead Klut;tz from the
editorship-in-chief. During the
past season he has met with grati
fying success in that proverbially
difficult position, v He - has been
unusually successful in the ex
pression ot tne ieeiing or tne
M . fe M Mm
student body on . the se
rious questions that have arisen
for discussion and his style both
of thinking and of -"writing has
ben such as to attract complimen

press away from the Hill. It is
very far from easy to fill the place
resigned by one so eminently
suited for it as he. !

THE MARKET SUSCEPTIBLE.
What Effect the Queen's Death Will
Have on England.
Paris, Jan. 21. The fall of the
English markets on news from the
queen has attracted some comment.
Financial circles here, discussing
the situation yesterday and today,
generally held that no. really im
portant change in the public poli
cy of England would likely result.
That uncertainty if ri&t apprehen
sion for the mouent was felt in
some quarters of the London mar
ket. It is argued, however, that
the situation in the Transvaal is so
thoroughly bad that a change in
any direction would have to be
regarded as favorable. The French
opinion aa to the outcome in that
regard is divided between those
who believe that British war ope
rations will be pursued more vig
orously than ever and others " who
hope that those now serving will
be disposed to facilitate peace ne
gotiations on the basis of compro
mises. STATESVILLE'S NEW CHURCH.
Church Built by Mrs. Key Dedicated

Salisbury choir furnished music
for thia occasion.
