C., under Postal Act of March 3, 1S79. December 26, 1917 J. Otis Sanders Dead Mr. J. Olis Sanders, son of Mr. nnd Mrs. fames C. Sanders, died in a Charlotte hospital last Friday morning at six o'clock, fol lowing an operation on Monday for appendicitis. lie had been in the hospital nearly a week before the operation. From the first his case was known to be serious. Peritonitis had developed before he left Pageland, and when the operation was performed it was found that the appendix had already ruptured. His condition gradually grew worse until the end. The body was brought home Friday Light, and the funeral was conducted at the Baptist church here between eleven anu twelve o'clock Saturday by his pastor, Rev. B. S. Funderburg. Six of his asso ciates acted as pall bearers. In the death of Otis Sanders the town has lost one. of its brightest and most deserving young men. Me was hardly 18 vears old, and yet he had built an enviable reputation for lion esty, uprightness and faithfulness to duty. His life was clean and free from many bad habits of present day youths. He de voted his time to his work, and * was not to be seen loafing about the streets. When the news of his death was heard everyone had something good-to say of him. Since last March he hadjbeen in the employ of The fournal. He came in knowing nothing of the printing business, but he leanied rapidly, and lie woifjd ** w btrert'arapte'ficiid priYii erT He was punctual, and faithful to every task. He was dili gent and cheerful. He had the utmost confidence of his associ ales in the office, and they feel the loss keenly. Mr. Sanders joined the Baptist church last August, and his life was iti keeping with his pro ftssion. He was a dutiful son and bother. Before his death he called his relatives about him, and in bid ding them goodbye he staled that he was prepared to go, and passed away with a smile on his face. e. . Handsomely Gowned Woman Leaves Baby The Charlotte Sanatorium has already received one Christmas present, being a four weeks old bouncing babv boy, with blue ayes and the "cutest" dimples. He apparently belongs to the hospital. Last night about 7:30 o'clock a handsomely gowned woman drove up Hi the S?"v..H.rinm in a limousine and goi out; the ( haul feur left die engine of the ma chine running. The woman carried a baby in her arms and appeared to be in right much of, a hurrv. She was described as a fine looking woman, of rather stout build. A nurse met her at the door and asked her in. , "I want to see the superintendent of this hospital," said the woman with-the infant. She was asked if her baby was ill, and replied: "Yes, he's sick; been sick all his life." The nurse went for the super intendent and- when she return ed, the baby was there, but the woman had gone. so had jhe hip limousine. lie's a "peach" ofr a boy and has already made friends with the nurses.?Charfotte Observer, W. , - w "" 4V" * War Aims of AHii'j S*.a;ecJ i ? - M In the midst of the peace i pourparlars that are in progress i between the representatives, of ; the Teutonic allies and the i bolsheviki government in Rus , sia, the war aims of Great Brit ain?and doubtless of all her allies?have been concretely set forth in the house of commons by David Lloyd- George, the the British prime minister. The complete restoration of territory now in the hands of the enemy and compensation for the havoc they have wrought is the price that will be demanded for the laving down of arms and the bringing about of peace. Great Britain did not seek ter ritorial aggrandizement for herself or for any of her allies when she entered the war. Mr. Lloyd George said, but entered into the hostilities merely for the sake of her honor. As to Germany's colonies, all of which are now-, in the hands of the entente; Mr. Lloyd George said, their disposition must be de tertnined at the peace congress. Jerusalem however, the premier declared, would never be restored to the Turks. The statement of tne prime minister came almost simultane ously with a report that the Teutonic allies intended to make peace proposals to the entente and that Russia had been requested to take similar steps and was endeavoring to sound her former allies in arms as to their requirements for a cessation of hostilities. Keb Will flace Mounment at Grave of Yank. Mr. S. E, Belk, of Laces Creek township, some time ago gave The Enquirer an interesting account of a skirmish between Wheeler's cavalry and Sherman's soldiers at his father's home in Lancaster county, S. C., J February 27, 1865, and of the killing of a Federal soldier named Leroy Van Coney, and who was buried by Mr. Belk's father." Mr! Belk received', a few days ago, a letter from Mr Munhall, Callawav, Nebraska, who says that Leroy Van Coney enijsted September 20, 1864, at Cincinnaiti, Ohio, and was mustered in on the same date as a private in Company E. 10th Ohio cavalry, and that the War Department show that he was killed by gunshot wounds near Lancaster, S. C., February ii7, 1865. Mr. Munhall, who w as a member ol Company I, 26th Ohio regiment, and was an independent scout for General Sherman, tells Mr. Belk: 'i am 1 going to have the U. S. Government put up a headstone at Van Coney's grave and ask that you ix?'t ii mun trv lolri* J? . ?. ? ?U mat, 11 11 Will liic depot and set it up. We are all now under the same old flag and must work together." Mr. lielk has written Mr. Munhall that he will see to it that the dead Federal soldier, and that Confederate and Federal are indeed under one flag ( and are alike showing loyalty to it.?
