HI DAY. OCT. 13. 1907 JOHN CHARLES McNEILL. Sadness is borne to many hundreds of hearts iu North Carolina and in other Spates' to day by the preys c:ipatches " which t . 21 of the death at Laurin burg, Scotland county, of that gifted ; nd promising young w tiler, .It. John Lharles Mc Neill, cf The Chailotte O!) server i-taff. The announce ment of his passing away is all the more shocking because few knew of his illness at all and i.ven h!? closest frietds dreamed i . t)t that he was r.canng the ri-at :ivMe. For several Months liscase lw.l been prey on his fiatn? v. hicli was ;il! i ut robust and only last Thurs day he left his work to rest and recuperate down at his old home. To one who knew this talent t d young Tar Heel and who came in contact with him in his woik, as did the writer of these lines, the news is most distress ing; it is the loss of a personal friend. A similar feeling bides with ma; y who knew him not in the Gc:,b but who had learned to krow him through his writ ings. Sti!l a young man, Mr. Mc ' No;! had but reached the vesti tibtile, as it were, of a promis ing career and we cannot htlp bnt believe that,, had longer life been vouchsafed to him, the world of literature would have profited greatly thereby. He was a gifted singer and his poems had attracted attention in many States. His "Songs Merry and Sad," the only volume of his pof tns published, which ap peared something over a car a0, .'.uncd fcr him commenda tion c..nd favorable critici-ni from 'high sources. He iked close to the heart of nature end had the power to t:ike his friend-- out and show them niiii; beautiful things around thun that they had never seen before. McNeill is dead; 'tis a sorrow ful message indeed to thousands over the State who had learned to love him and to appreciate his woik. The Observer lias sustained a great loss; his place will be hard to fill. '.VA jA l Vv 1k family Safe-Caard. - Se, Mc $1.00. Itolievei Croup i5LaiaX in mljint. AhorU rnMmnnla l htmn.
