FUNERAL OF w. H. WILLIAMS.
Died at Manila on June 23rd. Body Arrived
. at Newton Saturday.
(special to News and Observer.

Especial to News and Observer
Newton, N. c., August 13.-The body
of Mr.. w H. Williams, Jr., arrived here
Saturday morning and was buried in the
evening. His death occurred in Manila
on June 23d and was reported in the
News and Observer on the 4th instant,
the news not being received here until
then.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. w. A. Long, ID. D., Rev. ]. c. Knapp
ID. d., and Rev. ]. Il. Murphy. Addresses
We're made by each OF these ministers.
DR.. Klapp told of the letter from the
hospital nurse in which she stated that
little Willie" as he was called here, had
joined the army of the Lord before he
was summoned before the Great Com
mander. He read, in a voice full of feel
ing, the favorite poem of the young man
while in the army, separated from his
loved ones-Julia Bakers poem, 'Miz-
pah'' which ends with the verse:
And tho our paths be separate,
And thy way is not mine,
Yet coming to the mercy seat,
My soul will met with thine.
And God keep watch tween thee and me-
I'll whisper there,
He blesseth thee, He blesseth me,
And we are near"
The coffin rested on a catafalc beau
tifully decorated with flags and was COW
cred by a large flag from the army.
Around it were sixteen of the young
mans comrades of the First North Caro-
lima regiment, dressed in uniforms. At
the close of the singing of the touching
hymn, God be With You Till We Meet
Again. these young soldiers, led by
Sergeant Jas. Edwards, carrying a large
United States flag draped in black, acted
as pail bearers.
The services were concluded at the
grave and there, as the sun in his splen-
dor sank behind the Western hills, the
last bugle call was sounded. The grave
was covered with the most beautiful
flowers and at its head were the words,
Our soldier boy sleeps wreathed in
ivy, Soldier, rest! thy warfare's Ger
The crowd present was very large as
the young man was very popular here
and leaves hosts of friends both here and
| in the army who mourn his loss.

Especial to News and Observer)
Greenville, N. c., Aug. 13.-Mr. Frank
Mills. of this county, Confederate SOL
der who gave his left arm in defense of
the 'lost cause" spent Saturday in
Greenville, as he frequently does. The
til after night to go home by moonlight
He left town on his his buggy about nine
o'clock accompanied by little boy who
came to town with him.
When about two miles from town two
negroes, Shade Adams and Bob Johnson
drove up behind Mr.. Mills and began
cursing and abusing him for being a
Democrat and voting for the Constitu-
tional amendment to disfranchise them.
Mr.. Mills told them to go on by, that
he did not want to have any trouble
with them. The negroes then deliber-
ately drove against Mr.. Mills buggy,
breaking it down and throwing him out
in the road. When he demonstrated
with them for this Adams jumped out
of his buggy, got a fence rail and
advancing on Mr.. Mills struck at
him with the rail- Mr.. Mills had in
the meantime got out hR knife arI
opened it with his teeth. He skilfully
lodged the blow aimed at him by Adams
and at the same time made made pass
with his knife and gave the negro ter
rible cut across the throat He followed
this up with other thrusts of his knife
all of which took effect, giving the ne
gro additional severe wounds across the
shoulder and breast
Seeing that he was being so sadly
carved up by the one-armed veteran.
Adams cried to johnson for help. John
son armed himself with rail and start
ed for Mr.. Mills, but slash or two with
the same knife sent him back in de-
feat when both negroes got in their bug
by and hurried off.
Mr.. Mills patched up his buggy and
came back to town to report what had
occurred. Later in the night Mr.. J. w.
Smith, Superintendent of the county
home, on the same road, came in town
to ask a doctor to go out to assist Ad-
ans. He stated that he had heard some
one grooming out in the road near the
Home, and going out to investigate,
found the negro lying in the road -
ing from several bad cuts. Mr.. ss1.ith
did not know at the time how the negro
got cut. 1t is supposed that Adams be-
came SO weak from loss of blood that he
telI out of the buggy and the other ne
gro went on and left him. The last
your correspondent heard he was still
alive.
Mr.. Mills is one of the most active and
plucky men in the county. He was brave
as a soldier, and though he lost one of his
arms on the battlefield, he never lost
any of his courage. He is great hunter
and handles a gun better than most men
with two arms. He has perhaps killed
more deer than any man in the country
and it is said If a bear ever makes a
track in his neighborhood Bruin is sure
to lose his hide.

action of the board was due to the Off
GERS failure to register and vote in
the recent election, and giving no excuse
therefor than that it was due to careless
ness on his part. The board was of the
opinion that a man showing SO little in
terest in the affairs of government was
not proper man to hold public office.
