The reasons for Miis are about as
follows : Too few men ; poorly paid ;

ment. A strike is not right ! If men are
not. satisfied they should notify the
official that they would quit on a
certain date. This high handed
dictatorial method that some organ

That the messengers have be en

their treatment was not such as to
justify such a course as they are

Meeting; Counsel Km ployed.
The met air gof the Lyceum Tues
day night was a rat.tl. r.
Owing to the iuel m-'iiry ot the
weather, the attenduac was not
largi, but ic win an ea husiast-ic and
restless at tendance.
T B Eldridge, through his coun
sel, Dr. N D Fetzer, preferred
charges against Sect'y 11 T Wych".
Counselor Fetzer read a long docu
ment, studied and legally written,
setting forth that T B Eldridge was
appointed to debate and knew noth ing
of it, the Sec'y not informing
him, until Tuesday evening when
the Standard appeared.
After this important document
was read, the following resolution
was adopted :
Whereas. By complaint of T B
Eldridge, R T Wyche, secretary of
this Lyceum, stands charged with a
wilful neglect of official duty, which
if proven, will c mtitute a seriou
offense, therefore,
Resolved, That the said Wyche
be tried upon the said charge and
specifications at the regular meeting
to be held on the 19th of January,
1892 ; that the President shall sit as
judge presiding at the trial and the
members shall sit as jurors; that
both' the complainant and respondent
be privileged to appear by counsel
(said counsel to be members of the
Lyceum) and shall have authority to
send for persons and papers; that
the guilt or innocence of the ac
cused shall be established by a ma
jori.y of the members present and
voting; and that the i resident shall,
in the event of a verdict of guilty,
tlx the punishment, subject to ap
proval by the Lyceum.
The accused:
Mr. R T Wvehe is aK- ost certain
of an acquittal, while other:? think
there considerable doubt. Counsel
for the defense is L 1) Duval and i
Ed Kestler. Solicitor N D Fetz.-r
will be assisted by .
The Standard hopes that friend
Wyche may escape justice, not de
siring to see so young a man pun
ished.
A E Lentz read a selection, the
"model church," and sang part of it
where singing ought to be singing.
His was interesting and the Lyceum
was delighted with tle spirit mani
fested by a new member.
Dr. L A Bikle read an essay on
"Courting as it is Done." This was j
a treat. Were it published it would
prove a blessing to many a .young
mar and woman.
Debate. "Poverty is the cause of
crime."
The negative was opened by T B
Eldridge in quite a legal and pointed
discourse.
II McNamar, of the affirmative,
arose, and in a solemn tone said :
Mr. President and fellow members
of Concord Lyceum, I yield the
point, so far as I am concerned ; I
can not and will not debate the
affirmative I am a coxsciextious
max, therefore I sit down.
Howard Cannon, of the negative,
arose and said: I, too, am coxsciex
tious, therefore I'll sit down.
L D Duval, of the affirmative,
made a strong speech.
The committee decided in ,favor
of the affim ative.
Immediately T B Eldridge arose
and said in substance: "I do not
charge that Mr Wche, one of the
committee, as biased in this matter,
but do not think him, standing
charged as be is, a suitable person
for a judiie wheie 1 am concerned."
The decision of tiie committee
wa-i submitl' d to the Lyceum, which
voted to reverse the deci.-ion.
The subject for next debute is,
"That to the victoi'3 belong the
spoils, is a sound principle in
politics."
This is not a full report of the
meeiiug, as space will not allow.
The Lyceum vottd unanimously
that the ladies an welcome at and
invited to attend the meetings.

An Interesting Relic
Mr. Henry White, of Cabarrus
comity, has sent to the City Museum,
of Charlotte, a historic powder horn,
curiously wrought, and full of per
sonal, miliary and political sugges
tions. It lel'Mig d to 1.1? grandfather,
W ! inn Monison, and .he fathr of
tlxlit Hall Moi rirOu, of Rocky
Rher, a RoMier in th-1 Revolution
&'i, with his fatlnr, Robeit Morri
son, among the first Sco'ch Irish
t:oii'ers to this section. It is alike
ilhisTi-tive of the artistic skftl of
the r-' 'o'ch Irish soldier of that day
and of the military events in which
ne part'eipa'ed.
Tlr-dore Roosvelt, in his charm
ing "Winning of the West," tells
how the style was for the early eolo- j
nial soldier, Iulian fighter, and pio
neer, to equip himself in a garb at
once suggestive of the life he led and
of the high impulses that inspired
him. He wa3 apt to bea man of
great force and of intense zeal and
self-reliance, often of religious en
thusiasm. The French wars of K34-17G4, all
partook of a great struggle between
Protestantism and Roman Catholic
ism. This horn tells the story of
the long and deadly conflict for su
premacy in tbe west in its numerous
carved designs, of Fort Niagara,
Fort Ontario, Fort Detroit and many
of the auimals and other attractions
of the great Indian wilderness. Mr.
Roosevelt (though a No;thern man)
frankly admits that it was Southern
valor that finally secured the Ken
tucky and Ohio conquest in 1778-9.
And Col. Waddell in his "colonial
officer," shows that North Carolina
troops played an active part in all of
the French and Indian struggles.
It also shows indications of the
Revolut ionary struggles and likewise
of the whisky insurrection in Penn
sylvania in 179C-7 and of the threat
ened French war in 1798-9.
For special family reasons, Mr.
White is unwilling to part with the
ownership of this heirloom; but he
leaves it in the Museum for the in
spection of the curious. And this,
we take occasion to say, would be a
good idea fjr others having such
reli -s, and with which they prefer
not parting. Charlotte News.

Since the article appeared Mr

Then and Now Tbat and Tbls.
For a hundred years, in all the
old school houses, on the Fourth of
July rostrums, in our nursery
rhymes, in our school books, in our
legislatures and in Congress, in song
and on tablet, the glory of our fore
fathers has been extolled. They
suffered, fought and died for a great
principle. They "pledged their
fortunes, their lives and their sacred
honor" against the odious crime of
"taxation without representation."
But somehow in the bewildering
whirl of our rapidly advancing civ
ilization we have got the thing en
tirely twisted around. The money
kings and their collossal wealth are
in the peaceful and undisputed en
joyment of the fullest '-representa
tion without taxation." But some
of the descendants of these glorious
old forefathers are fighting to decide,
from a moral standpoint, whether
King George or the American money
king is the greater tyrant whether
there was not as much fairness and
iustice in the one as the other. Our
grandfathers went to the cartridge
box with the one and their grandsons
are going to the ballot box with the
other. Progressive Farmer.

Filial affection ::ive birth to tha
following touching i.nd graceful
line?. The author was a relative of
General Clingman, a member of th
legal profession, though he never
practiced and was possibly, the poet
by nature cf our State.
He was a man of splendid phys
ique, of generous impulses, possess
ed a warm, sunny nature, and was a
lover of the pure .and beautiful; but,
like the eminent bard of Scotland
whom he resembled in many respects,
he had at least,' one fault which
marred a genius of the sweetest and
most exquisite fancies. His humor
was sparkling ; his imagery beauti
ful; his language copious; and melo
dy flowed in rippling cadences from
his gifted, eloquent pen:
Twice thirty years their shadows weave,
Sly mother, round tLy brow,
And in the gloaming of life's ee
Thy footsteps hear thee now :
And thus the waning cycles wheel
Their meteor flights away,
Till age doth on the pilgrim steal.
As night-time doth the day.
And yet the rosy seasons seem
But brief, whose pands are told,
Since at thy knee I knelt to dream
That thou could'st not gro'vi old;
But ah! like iris tints that braid
Their streaks on Summer sky.
Our wieaths of hope arc only laid
On shrines we love, to die.
Tho' still thy tones from those dead days,
Like hymns that blend with prayer,
Are whispered in my heart always
And strike their peans there;
And oft again I wander back
Far in the realms of yore,
To gaze thro' tears upon that track
Thy feet sLall press no more.

Ill-health is a very matter-of-fact
affair it is no uncertain and problemat
ical condition. The necessity, at times,
for medical treatment is as evident and
pressing as any other necessity, end
it is for this reason that we would
earnestly caution our readers against
the use of any but the nnt approved
remedies. Irreparable injury is often
done by placing confidence, in medi
cines allien, although new and preten
tious, are often worthless. It is the
almost inevitable failure of these com
pounds that throws discredit upon phar
macy and medical science in gener!:!.
Physicians arc now of the opinioii that
many diseases are the result of a morbid
condition of the blood, either through,
inheritance or contagion, and that the
only rational and effective way of cur
ing these complaints is to produce a
radical change in the vital tiuid. 'i'.'ie
prevalence, for exauiple, of scroll'.'-; is
tho most prolific cause of consiiiup! n.
A specific tiiat expels the li reditary
taint of scrofula from the Mood is,
therefore, a preventive of coi;' inu; t:i n.
That Ayer's Sar.supurilla has n p. a-ed-ly
proved itself sudi-9, specific U a
well-known fact that rai;V be too fre
ciuently and urgently procl.1, .11-d.
A distinguished pliysicii.n has rt;.'
cently recorded his belief, foumV-d
on tho most satisfactory and rcl;ii'!e
evidence, that "tbo faithful use ot
.Ayer's Sarsaparilla will thor.uiy
eradicate scrofula." lie further asserts:
"I have used it as an alterative and
ldnod-purifier, and must say that I
honestly believe it to be the best blood,
medicine ever compounded." This tes
timony, which has been re-affirmed by
hundreds of others, should be sufficient
to induce all who are of scrofulous habit
to resort, without delay, to the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
Another malady very prevalent in th
United Stat is catarrh. This is also a
blood disease, ami one of the most stub
born with which physicians have to con
tend. We have been rcjeatedly as
sured, however, that the persistent use
of Ayer's Sarsaparilla effectually ex
pels from the system this most dis
gusting and dangerous complaint. In
a word, the way to health is through
the"purification of the blood which
nourishes the whole system. Try Ayer's
Sarsaparilla.
