CHARLES E. TURNER DEAD.
A Prominent Member of the Durham Bar
Staunch Democrat and Good Man.
(Special 10 News and Obseryer.l

Especial to News and Observer.)
Durham, n. C., Sept 19.-The intel
ligence reached Durham this morn
ing that Mr.. Charles +. Turner. one
OF the leading members of the legal
fraternity of this city is dead He
passed away Tuesday afternoon at the
home of his brother. DR.. j. NJ. Turner,
in Wilkesboro, of consumption.
Deceased was about SO years of age,
and was one of the brightest young
attorneys of this city. He leaves a
wife and two children besides other
relatives TO mourn his death. In adj
dition to the brother mentioned above,
at whose home he passed away, he
also had brother in Greensboro in
the person of DR.. J. F. Turner.
NJ Turner graduated from Trinity
College in 1893. with high honors.
After obtaining his license to prac-
tice law he located in Durham, and ac-
lively pursued his calling until inca
pacitated by sickness.
After being confined at home by ill
ness for several months. he left here
last spring for Greensboro. and after
spending a while there went to Wilkes
boro, where he died. 1t was thought
that perhaps the change might pro
long his life. That insidious disease,
consumption. had fastened its
clutches upon him with too firm a
hold. and he was forced to succumb.
Deceased was a Democrat of the
staunchest type. He was always
ready to do his share for the party and
in everything pertaining 20 its wei
fare was never found lacking. He
was q forcible speaker on the stump,
and was never happier than when aid
ing a cause he thought to be right.
Mr.. Turner served Durham county
most acceptably for some months as
County Attorney. but by reason of
his sickness he resigned.
He was consistent member of the
Methodist church. In every walk of
life he was a true man in the fullest
sense of the word.
The remains were taken from
VTilkesboro to Cool Springs. Iredell
county, where they were laid to rest
today.
The Durham Bar met this afternoon
and took suitable action in regard to
Mr.. Turner'S death.

Already several of our merchants, who
were burned out last week, are prepar-
ing to rebuild, and soon the sound of the
hammer and trowel will be heard in our
midst Spencer Bros. expect to rebuild
at once and the Misses Moules, who own
the larger part of the ground in the burnt
district, have been telegraphed to return
to Washington and make arrangement to
release the ground. Col. Rodman, with
his characteristic vigor, has large force
of hands engaged in the clearing away
of the debris and cleaning brick. and will
rebuild at once. Mr.. J. Wright, c. M.
Little, f. Peterson Co, W. b. Windley
will also rebuild and soon, if nothing pre-
vents. the burnt district will. Phoenix
like, arise from its ashes more beautiful
than ever before. We know the struS-
gle to accomplish this result will be a
hard one. and it will be accomplished
with a sacrifice that the outside world
will never know, but if the insurance
companies will only respond promptly in
the payment of their policies the time
will not be far distant before to outside
appearance, at least the town will regain
its former place of prosperity.

Voters of German Descent
