McDANIEL A Gtod Man and Valicd Citizen Has Passed Away. j T th Kdttor ot Tub 8tai: Mr, William McDaniel died at his home in No. 2 township on the 8th day of, March, 1905, at the ripe age of 86 years. About 60 years ago, when a young man, he came from Ruth erford county, married Miss Anna Lovelace and made his home among her people, in Oleyelamd county, living a life that won the high respect of them all as well as of the whole surrounding community. To look into his face was to behold an expression of truth, honesty, kindness and firmness happily blended. He was a man who studied questions, formed opinions and lived by them but never gave the slightest offense to anv who held different opinions. He was a close Bible student, spending much of his leisure time searching the scriptures, not for purpose of showing Bible lore but in order that his own life might conform to scripture requirements. . He had little use for hollow creeds and false show. It seems that the motto of a so ciety of one of our foremost col leges in the state must have been copied from his life, to-wit: "I'd rather be than seem to be." The preacher spoke truly when he said "Deeeased would not knowingly have taken a five cents trom any one, unjustly, if he had known tlat it would never be f"und out by aiy per son." He had a broad mind and could readily adjust himself to aiy kind of good society. He was a farmer but delighted in making the anvil ring and could often be found in his blacksmith shop. He enjoyed the company of the teacher, having himself taught school in early life. The minis ter of the gospel always found a happy welcome in his home. He had a special fondness for children. One of the special features of his life was guarding the tongue. He never spoke ill of any one, and the slightest by word or slang phrase from his lips would hava shocked the community. He had an ear fcr music but nreferred those old standard song that are "here to stay" rather than some of the light music of to-day. Ho set a worthy example for the young people to follow. Deceased leaves a son and a daughter, several grandchildren and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss while he goes to join a wife, two sons and a daughter just across the river. ' left evidence that he was pre Pi. ed for a change of worlds. i er. Z. D. Harrill conducted he funeral services. Deceased leaves two brothers and one is ter. They are: Mr. J. B. Mc-D.-inifil 88 vears old, Mr. D. D. McDaniel, of Texas, 84, and Mrs Susan Edwards, 82 years. L. Still In Deep Mystery. io t lerrer. El '.aoeth City, N. C, March 10. -No trace of Senator Beas ley's son has yet been found and no clue to his whereabouts has developed. The belief in Curri tuck is that he was really kid napped aad carried to some dis tant place, although no tangible evidence has been produced to verify it. With his disappear aance is connected the stranger wko drove through that place the same day the boy was missed, but the connection is extremely vague and there is practilly nothing to work on in the efforts to find him. Little Ruth Boyle lead. MRuih, the fcur-year olddiugh t cr of Mr. Caleb Uoyle, of Fall ston died Sunday at 10 o'clock of diphtheria. She ."as a sweet, lovely child and her death is extremely calnful to her r ther and father, tt whom it was so precious. She was laid to rest in New5 Bethel rhntrh oTuvfl vanl Monday at 3 o'clock, Rev. J. V. Devenney conducting the funeral service. The Star extends us sympathy to e b t; aved parents and reL tt -u unit kreat grief over th ios-i of so precious a child. tILING SMINf S HIGH SCHOOL.

She was 75 years old, and had lived a long life blessed with health till three months ago, when she was seiz ed with an attack of bilious colic from which she never fully re covered. Yet it seemed up to a lew weeks before her death that m a few days her recovery would be complete, but she was taken with the grippe, the severity of which was more than her weak ened condition could stand. Mrs. Hamrick was a noble and sweet lady and was loved by everybody who knew her. She joined the Baptist church at the age of 15, and throughout her long connection with tke church she acted the part of a devoted and conscientious christian. She leaves a husband, Mr. C. J. Hamrick, who is now very low with the grippe, 4 children and 14 grand children, one of whom is F, D. Hacrick, Esq., of Shel by. The children are Messrs. J. Y., E. B., and O. N. Hamrick and Mrs. S. A. Green. In her family there has been only one death prior to hers. The remains of Mrs. Hamrick were buried Sunday at Boiling Sprmgs cemetery, the funeral services being conducted at her residence by Rev. G. P. Ham rick, of Gaffney. Democratic Fairness. Charlotte Kiwi. One thing which transpired in the closing hours of the General Assembly greatly impressed us. By resolution the Republican members of the joint body ex pressed their appreciation and thanks for the courtesy and uni form consideratioi shewn them throughout the session ef the Legislature. This bears an ex ceedingly good tone. It is in deed gratifying to know that a Legislature overwhelmingly Democratic was kind to and con siderate of, the members of the other party. It is only right that such treatment should have bean accorded the Republican members, and we are very glad that the majority members of both houses so conducted the affairs of the Assembly as to im press upon the minority a full sense of their fairness. This re cord is not the least important of the things which transpired in the Legislature. Ranting Period Limted. Ckarlott Obietrer.

He attended the inaugura tion ceremonies and his death is believed to be due to exposure on that occasion. He suffered a slight chill that day.

Webb, a Rerjresen- tative in Congress from North Carolina, deserves credit for op posing a proposition, which was offered in the House, to permit the saloons in Washington to re main open lastSundav. for the accommodation of visitors, who mignt remain in the citv after the inauguration. Through the efforts of Mr. Webb, who pro tested "in tne name of ail that is good and true in Christian civ ilization, and in behalf of eighty minions r people," the move ment was not only defeated, but a counter proposition was adont. ed, which pledged both houses or uongress to m no way indorse or sanction any resolution which would be interpreted as a declar ation to the world that they were willing to reverse their determi nation to rid forever the caoital cujr hjw grottiest nation on earth of its bars and saloons. : .1 A young fellow claiminsr to be tae member of a show strand ed in South Carolina, passed through Shelbv Thursdav and gave an exhibition in bicycle rid ' ing. in inis he was an expert.
