Miss Addie Griffith Called Home.

On last Wednesday night at ten
o'clock, the dread messenger Of death
entered the home of Sheriff and Mrs.
John Griffith and called from their
love and care their daughter, Addie.
For eight weeks she had been fight
ing the terrible disease, typhoid fe-
yer. The fight she put up was won
derful. Life had so many charms
for this noble girl, but when the
final summons came she submitted
with the grace that characterizes the
really brave. Miss Addie Griffith
had been given as a blessing to her
home for 81 years. She was COM
fort to father and mother, an ever
ready helpful companion to brothers,
sisters and friends. She was chris
tian of the highest type, member
of the Methodist church and teacher
in the Sunday school. Hers was a
nature that bore intimate acquaint-
ance. 1t was in close association
with her one came to feel and know
the true worth Of character of this
perfectly developed specimen Of
young womanhood. OF the many
admirable qualities that constituted
her makeup, self-sacrifce was one;
and modesty, the GROWING jewel Of
womanhood, sat enthroned in queen
" majesty within her soul. Her ma
ture was as pure, her mind and heart
as chaste as the angels with whom
she has gone to dwell. The flowers
in their snowy whiteness we're en-
blematic of her character, and by
their prodigal profusion bore testi-
mony to the love and affection felt
for her by her friends. The large
crowd gathered at Central Methodist
church on Thursday afternoon at 5
o'clock to attend the funeral services,
gave evidence that her friends were
numbered by her acquaintance.
Rev. G.. c. Brinkman conducted the
services.
The members Of the family who
bow with sorrowing hearts are two
sisters, Mrs. r. L. Helms and Miss
Mary Griffith; and four brothers,
Messrs. Benjamin, Julian, Frank and
Paul Griffith.
The pail bearers were Messrs. Code
Morgan, William Nivens, Sam Phi
fer, Cyrus Stewart, Boyce Williams
and Clayton Smith. Nj. ii. 5.

Spreading Consumption by House
Infection and Family Infection.

have only recently observed some
cases Of consumption where there
was much irregular, unrestricted Wis
iting. The patients were splitting
here and there instead of splitting
into sputum cups containing carbolic
acid or other disinfectants.
There is intelligent visiting with
good judgment, and there is ignor-
ant visiting with very poor judgment.
The flies had all the freedom Of
the place and were going from spu-
tum to table, to drinking water back
and forth. 1t is probable that some
social snuff-dipping was going on.
All the family and all the visitors
were in a measure unconsciously ex-
posed TO the disease. And this is
why consumption goes through fam
lilies instead Of being limited to the
first case. Right here in Union coun-
ty whole families have taken the dis
ease and died by shutting them
selves in with the first case. This
thing is still going on in the county,
and the death rate every year is in
creased a large per cent. from this
one cause. The consumptive should
be isolated in a sense; he and the
family should be- told and taught
everything they ought TO know. 1t

The Modern Woodmen of America
Organize a Camp i'm Monroe.

In the Fraternity hall on Wednes-
day evening, August 10th, Deputy
Head Consul VIM, G. Amick of the
Modern Woodmen Of America install
ed Monroe camp No. 1871. About
forty of the sixty men who have made
application for membership in the
fraternity we're adopted and given
the secret work. The remaining ap-
plicants will be adopted at subse-
quent meeting.
Officers were elected as follows:
DR.. B. c. Redfearn, Venerable Con-
sui; w. J. Ridge, Worthy Adviser;
Julian V. Griffith, Banker; Luther
Williams, Clerk; j. o. Fulenwider,
Past Consul; G. H. Hasty, Escort;
r. C. Funderburk, Waterman; c. D.
Morgan, Sentry; DR.. John NJ. Blair,
Camp Physician; and board Of man
ayers consisting of ]. w. Hill, r. H
Hargett and G.. +. Porterfeld. The
officers were then installed and fol-
lowing such installation, life benefit
certificates were presented to the
members by Head Consul Amick.
The Modern Woodmen is the
pioneer of all the Woodmen orders
throughout the world. In the United
States nearly one and one-half mil
lion men have made themselves
neighbors under this banner Of
Woodcraft. The strength of the Or
der lies chiefly in the West and great
Southwest, where membership and
good citizenship are almost synony-
nous terms, but the order is spread
ing over the Atlantic States with a
rate of growth never before attained
by a secret order.
We are glad that Monroe has add
ed this to her already large list of
secret fraternities, and with an initial
membership Of nearly sixty of Union
county's foremost men in business
and society, we bespeak for this new
order long, growing and prosper.

Horrible rlurder in Davie County
Raleigh Dispatch, 18th.

Raleigh Dispatch, 18th.
Thomas Jarvis, a young Davie
county farmer, was killed in a hor-
rible manner by his father, William
Jarvis, near Advance. 1t appears
that the father and son got into a
dispute, when the former drew his
knife and cut the latter across the
abdomen from the hip to hip, after
which the father stamped the son
until his bowels protruded. The son
died and the father has thus far es-
capped arrest.

For Representative.


ton of North Carolina says the leg
islature shall meet bi-annually, on
the first Wednesday in January.
On the Goth day Of August, 1910,
the Democratic voters Of Union
county are asked to 60 to their vot-
ing precincts and there vote for their
choice of candidates TO represent
them in the House Of Representa-
tives. The candidates are all good
men but only two of them can 60,
and the two who get the majority Of
votes will be the Democratic candi-
dates. As a Democrat | cast my first
vote in 1865 for Seymour and Blair
for President and Vice President,
Francis E. Shaver for Congress, and
Lemuel Presaon for the House Of
Commons. And | ask you to consid-
the name Of one of the five Demo
cratic candidates when you cast your
ballot. He has been loyal to Dem
ocracy from our restoration into the
Union to the present time. He wore
the gray from 1861 to 1865, and there
is no man in Union county who has
done more for the battle-scarred vet
Grams Of the lost cause than he.
Just before the State reunion OF
the North Carolina veterans in Char
lotte, August %, 1909, an old veteran
Of Major Frank Wyatt's company
went to Monroe and was asked if he
was going to the reunion. He was
poor, and had six motherless grand
children in his house. He said his
clothes were not fit to wear on that
grand occasion Before he left town
he was standing in an eight-dollar
gray uniform. There are fifteen Con-
federate veterans in Union county
who are wearing gray uniforms;
there is man in Monroe who paid
for five Of them out of his own pocket
and helped the other ten to get theirs.
A few days before the Confederate
reunion at Birmingham a poor, bat
tle-scarred veteran of the Redwine
Beauregards from Union county,
Company F, 95th North Carolina,
was asked if he was going. He said
he had no money, but a few days be-
fore Camp Walkup left for Birming-
ham the old veteran got a check from
Monroe that gave him the round
trip free.
A few months ago a poor widow
in Union county had hayward boy.
He got into trouble and was taken
before our recorder. The crime
would not admit of fine less than
fifteen dollars, and if it was not paid
his poor mother knew what was next.
She only had ten dollars of her hard
earnings and had tried in vain to
borrow the other five dollars. She
had almost given up in despair when
a friend told her to 60 to a certain
man in Monroe and try him. She
went, and with tears trickling down
her face told him her troubles; and
without a word he handed her the
money. A few men who witnessed
the scene told him his money was
gone forever. A month or so later,
a small boy handed him a package
and told him that his mother had
sent it TO him; and on opening it, be
saw a fve-dollar bill.
So, Democratic voters of Union
county, when you cast your ballots
on the Goth day of August, 1910, for
representative, remember that good
Samaritan who bought the gray uni
forms and paid the way Of the battle
Scared veteran Of the Confederacy
in these declining years, and the
poor widow in her application.
That grand man was r. Y. Houston,
Esq, of Monroe, n. G.

pmctiious Austrian court, the most

honor being paid the visiting American.
As special mark OF his personal
esteem, the aged emperor king. Francis
Joseph, received Col. Roosevelt in his
apartments at the imposing Hofburg
palace, instead of in the regular audi

attired i'm an imperial uniform, was cx.
tremely gracious 10 the American OK
president. and kept him IN conversation
for thirty-ive minutes. What interest

not made public, as they were alone,
and Col Roosevelt naturally has de
clincd TO reveal the slightest detail Of
the conversation.
Intended Return Call.
Emperor Francis Joseph intended per.
soually TO return Col. Roosevelt IS call
on his way TO the Schoenbrunn castle,
where the monarch USUALLY passes tho
night, and was only deferred from so
doing by Il sudden storm that broke
late in the afternoon. Therefore, he
was compelled TO send his aide dc
camp. Such an honor as a return visit
from the emperor is only extended TO
rcigning sovcrciGns.
For Col Roosevelt, tho call on the
omporor was only the main feature of
u busy day, which began Immediately
after he reached his hotel this morn
