VOMJIi: IV.
0:i January 1-lth, 1888, The
Staxdakd started. Like all news
papers, it struggled and had to bus
tle to keep the wolf from the door.
Hard work and an appreciative pub
lic have put the paper on legs ; and
it can now stand alone and even
walk.
The third mile post has been
reached, and we came in under the
wire on time. The last volume has
been one of rapid increase. Since
the lirst of June over 500 new
names have been added to the sub
scription list they came in volun
tarily and since that time we haw
lost three of our subscribeis. Today
The Staxdakd goes into more Ca
barrus homes than any other paper
ever did or does. It is read every
week bv at least 8,000 peoph; it
goes to nearly every known country
on tn face of the earth.
As a newspaper, it is one in every
sense of the word. As a Cabarrus
institution, it's lirst duty is to the
county. The .StaxdakT) contains a
third more reading matter than any
paper ever published in Concord. It
goes at $1 per year. We don't charge
one party one thing and ' pop it " to
another simply because he's willing
to pay more. Jr5" It is oxe dollar
to all colors; to rich and poor; to
any and everybody ; when it goes it
goes for one dollar!
This week tnere over twenty-two
columns of solid reading matter, an.!
it's our purpose to keep it up to such
a standard. As an advertising
medium it never had au equal in the
county. The Standard has never
worked for ads., because we feel that
our prices and circulation give an
advertiser value received for his
money invested. We don't till up
the paper with foreign ads, at rates
lower than home folks. AVe have
our price or no ad. goes in.
We appreciate the generous and
liberal support of the public; we
hope that we may continue torecieve
it and deserve it. The Staxdard
is a FiXTURE-r-and Vol. IV will be
attended to with the spirit that ani
mated our efforts m the past.

The message of His Excellency,
Governor Daniel G. Fowle, is an able
State paper. It is good reading, and
would make good history. The
Standard regrets that its length pre
vents a publication of it in these
columns.
It appears that in all the suits
arising from bonds, etc., the State
came out the winner; the debt is,
practically, only 19,000. The
Board of Education has in hinds
$2G,33i.:j0. The total receipts, by
the treasurer, including a balance
(December 1, 16S8,) of fl2,592.41f
is 2,202,057.48; disbursements
amounted to 5,005,314.95, leaving a
balance of 137,3 12.55.
The Governor recommended the
establishment of a State Board for
the equalization o values between
the counties of the State; and let
it consist of the Treasurer and
Auditor and one State Assessor from
each Congressional District.
The Governor was very emphatic
in his appeal for improvements in
our public school system. He urged
the establishment of a training (not
industrial) school for female teach
ers, additional appropriation to the
A. and 31. College, an agricultural
college for colored stuoents, and be
sides other recommendations, the
Governor had this to say about
A REFORMATORY DEPARTMEXT:
The demand for a reformatory de
partment for young convicts is be
coming very great. One of the
most distinguished jurists said to me
that when he was on the Superior
Court bench the hardest duty he
had to perform was to sentence young
boys and girls to the-penitentiary.
The thought that those young law
breakers were to be consigned to fel
lowship with old and hardened of
fenders, by which the very last germ
of wit in them would be destroyed,
was enough to grieve a good man.
One of our distinguished State
officers described to me a scene which
he witnessed on odc of our railroads,
where two fair-faced and amiable
looking boys were chained, each of
them o repulsive, degraded looking
convicts, typical house-breakers, in
appearance, and were being conveyed
with them to the penitentiary.
. Gentlemen of the General Assem
bly, what hope for reformation is
ther-J with such associates for these
young persons ?
Humanity, to say nothing of
Christianity, demands that arrange
ments be made whereby tbese unfor
tunates shall be kept separate from
the old offenders and given a chance
at least tor the future.

STAXIAKI NOTES.
Bister Bountree, of the Oxford
Friend, says : "Beef as long as the
cow lasts' That's a mighty long
time when a piece of anti-del avian
cow is served. If that's the kind
the sister has reference to, the little
orphans will need new sets of teeth.
Public sentiment in Europe is now
strongly against Monte Carlo, the
gambling hell. The managers of it
feel in a shaky place, and the Prince
bas fears for the future of his little
principality. It is thought that
France may take advantage of the
public sentiment created against it
and seize it, and annex it to the
Republic.
If the darkeys take another mov
in" spell this Spring in the eastern
Bcctioiiof North Carolina, there will
be no use in drawing the color line,
because there will be no colored peo
ple there. It is a little stiange
though, that the white people there
,u.1fl such good crops the very first
year
after so many of them had left
for the different sections to which
ihey went.

Maxton, X. C, Jan. 12. A homi
cide occurred about two miles from
this place yesterday afternoon. It
seems that Annie Taylor had been
washing for William Hayes, and on
yesterday he called to get his clothes,
when a difficulty arose about ten
cents which the woman claimed was
due her. She refused to give up the
clothes unless William would pay
the ten cents.
William left the house, but re
turned shortly, armed with a shot
gun ; on seeing which, the woman
procured an axe, and when the man
was in striking distance, she struck
him in the breast with the blade of
the axe, cutting in two the breast
bone. The man walked off a short
distance, and fell, where he was
found shortly afterwards in a dying
condition. lie wa removed to a
house near by and a doctor dispatched
for, but before his arrival the man
had ceased to breathe.
The affray occurred about 4 p m.,
find the man died about o:oU p. m.
Both were colored. The woman is
married and about 8 years old.
The man was unmarried, and was
about the same age.
Annie Taylor claims that she acted
in self-defense.
It will probably never be known
exactly what passed between them,
as no one saw it sav, the two partici
pants. Up to this writing the woman
has not been arres'ed. Charlotte

During the stirring and conflict
ing days of July, August, Septem
ber and October, when the people
were greatly stirred up in regard to
the U. S. htnatorship, the Chronicle
maintained all along that when the
General Assembly convened Senator
Vance would be re-elected by accla
mation. In the face of the stormy
discussions that agitated and irri
tated the people, many regarded this
as a foolish prediction and the
prophecy of one who indulged in
irridesceut dreams. At times, we
must confess, now that the conflict
is past, our faith in the realization
of this dream wavered; but we have
always had an abiding faith in the
wisdom and conservatism and justice
of what we, in North Carolina, call
the average man. Whatever he may
have or may lack, he is at least hon
est and conservative. We looked
beyond the warring elements and
trusted in the sober second thought
of the people of the State. In Sen
ator Vance they had an able, upright
and conspicuous champion upon
every measure which they favored
except, perhaps, one, a id we never
seriously doubted that they would
continue to give him their love and
confidence. On his part, Senator
Vance will continue to represent
Xorth Carolina ablv and faithfully.
lie is the greatest North Carolinian,
living or dead. God bless, and spare
him long to serve the State he has
served and honored ! And God
bless the State and its people, and
give to us all concord and amity'.

who class themselves as Democrats.
Of course the position is one of
little importance and not much
sought for by Democrats, but that
is not the thing. It is not party
principle nor is it not what we would
have expected. The only ground ou
which any good excuse could be
rendered is that we have no compe
tent Democrat that would accept the
position. We do not know how
many Democrats signed the petitions
of these Republicans, but we do
know that the example is not a good
one.
Today, very near noon, there wae
a fire on Railroad street, next to
Parker's store. It was inahow-e

How the fire originated it is hard to
ttll, but being a wooden building it
had good headway, and was burning
very rapidly. One room was occupied
by Fannie Parrish, who was away
irom home atteudiug to h-r Jutio
as u cook when it was discovered
Her eight-months child was sleeping
upon the bed, and when the firemen
got there the bed clothing, with the
child, were burned to such an extent
that it was impossible to do any
thing. There w as no general alarm
given, but the fire companies turned
out and saved the building from
total destruction, llie child was
burned to a ciisp, from about the
middle portion of the body up, and
was a most horrible looking sight.
There was considerable talk about
foul play- If there is any ground
for this talk the matter should be
investigated. Since the above was
put in type we learn that the parties
who live in the house have been
arrested and the case is being in
quired into Durham Sun.

SWINK'S TARIFF LECTUR
-:o:
The sectional discrimination of the McKinley bill, as it
now stands, is even more marked than was that of the Mills
bill, 10 which we called attention in 1888. The three most
important staples that aie jieculiarly Southern are cotton,
sugar and rice. On the staples such as wool and Iron, which are
Northern as well as Southern, additional " protection is given
by an increase of rates." We believe there is no decrease in
rate on any important staples, other than rice and sugar.
Cotton is on the free list, of course, as before, but the rate on
cotton ties, made in and used in the South, is increased from
35 to 105 per cent, so that, in fact, each of these great staples
of the South are discriminated against by the bill. They
have agreed that machinery for the manufacture of beet sugar
may be imported one year free of duty. When asked to
admit machinery for the manufacture of cane into sugar and
into molassesFvn same terms, they refused to do it. Clipping

Hex)resentative who are in favor of a just tariff bill: It will
take ten years to change the Senate, and you may never elect
a President.
What must we do to get evenTn dollars and cents with the
unjust discrimination of the tariff
Enccuiage the manufactories at home by buying their
goods, the manufacture of which gives emgloyment to the
labor that buys the products of your farm.
1 have just received a large lot of
Home-Made Fants and Home-Made Shoes,
made within 25 miles of Concord. Now, brethern, I beg of
you to call and examine above goods, that you may see the
products of our own manufactories, that you may rerp
some of the benefits and that I mcy reap soii:- of the profits
that accrue therefrom. Respec 1 f r-1 ' y,
