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.

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.

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

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.? Monroe Fmquirer.
