DEATH OF RET. W. P. M'OHEE.
Well Knows Minister Paaaed Away
Today la Charlotte. Death Caus
ed by Bright Disease.
Rev. W. P. MeOhee, pastor of
Calvary Methodist chareh of Char
lotte, died this morning at 12 -.JO
o'clock at St. Peters hospital, where
he baa been for a week. Tbe cause
ef his death waa Bright 'a disesse.
Mr. MeOhee had been unwell for
some time and about a week ago he
waa taken from hia home to the
hospital. Several days ago hia con
dition grew gradually Worse and con
tinued so until his death in the early
hours of the morning.. Members of
his immediate family and intimate
friends were with him to the last but
for some time before tbe end came
he waa unabe to recognise any one.
Definite arrangement for tbe fun
eral have not yet been received.
Mr. MeOhee waa about 55 years
of age and is survived by a wife and
seven children, three daughters,
Misses Will j, Estelle and Ruth, and
four sons, I)r. James F. MeOhee, of
Cornell University, Mr. Hubert Me
Ohee and Masters Roy and Charles
McQtice, all of whom were with him

The death of thiB good man is a
particularly sad one, especially to

a. man of warm sympathies, kindly
disposition. He served many charges
during his ministry and his friends
are numbered in every section
throughout the confines of the con
ference.
The passing of this upright man
marked the going out Of a life that
showed both by his ministry and his
works that lie truly loved his fellow
man.
His Vote on Pensions Explained by
Gudger.
Washington, Dec. 20. Representa
tive J. M. Gudger, Jr., today gnve
out in an interview in defense of his
vote on the Sherman pension bill.
He says that the last Democratic
platform called for a generous pen
sion policy ; that he followed the ma
jority of the Democratic members of
the House, including bpeaker Clark
and Chairman Lloyd of the congres
sional committee. He denies that as
the result of the passage of the bill
the people's taxes will be increased
$70,000,000; he says that the inten
tion and purpose of tin hill is to
equalize pensions.
"The alleged amount carried by
this bill," says Mr. Gudger, "is
greatly exaggerated in the assertion
that it will cost an additional $70,
000." He says that according to the
report of the Democratic committee
tho increase will be put $27,000,000 a
year.
"While my vote is being criticiz
ed," continued Mr. Gudger, "it will
bo observed that 1 obeyea tno com
mand of the Democratic national
platform, followed the leadership of
the Democratic speaker, tbe national
Democratic chairman, the unanimous
recommendation of the Democratic
members of the pension committee
and in concert with a majority of the
Democratic members of Congress.
The declaration of the Denver plat
form of 1908 of the Democratic par.
ty on the subject of pensions is as
follows:
"We favor a generous pension pol
icy, Dotti as a maiier oi juauo to
tbe surviving veterans and their de
pendents and because it tends to re
lieve the country oi we necessity oi

Put Tour Money In the Bank.
Statesville Landmark.
'Il is a dangerous 'ihing to car
ry money on the jiersou or keep it
about the home. The love of it ex-,
cites thai baser pal sions of evil men,"
says the Wadesboro Ansonian. A
sum of money large enough to be
tempting is of course meant. The
Ansonian is right. Instances that il
lustrate the danger mentioned multi
ply. C. L. Everhart, who was found
dead in Davidson county a few days
ago, was known to have had consid
erable money on his person and it is
behoved he was killed for the pur
pose of robbery. In Charlotte the
other night a poor widow was decoy
ed from her home by a ruse and when
she returned she found that she had
been robbed of $350, Khe savings of
years. Put your money in a bank.
It is positively dangerous to carry a
large sum of money on your person
or to keep it in your house. You not
only stand to lose the money but you
may lose your life.
It is foolish for men to bemoan an
umncndnble lover's quarrel. A girl
who will not patch up a lover's dif
ference will never darn a husband's
sock.
