Town Fathers are f Asked for Protec
tion. Friday morning several narrow
escapes were made at the depot.
Near 175 people were huddled in
narrow inconvenient space between
the depot and ticket office; they
were waiting for the special excur
sion train due at 9:28. In the
meantime the vestibule came rush
ing np at a rate of 40 miles per
hour. Several of the parties claim
they heard a signal, but there was
probably not as many as five in the
crowd that heard it, besides the
blowing is a mile away and beyond
hills. In that jolly crowd, the ap
proach of the train could not be
heard. Probably no one outside of
the railroad force even thought of
the vestibule.
It was a great wonder several
were not killed, indeed two little
boys could not have had a narrower
sscape without being dashed into
eternity.
The Standard makes no charge
against the local officers, but it is
strongly of the opinion that old
'uncle Ephraim" Means renders or
can render but little service so far
as being a flagman. He himself did
not hear the vestibule until it was
under the bridge not over 75 yards
away. What could a large crowd
do being huddled in a small space
and suddenly being brought face to
face with a 40 mile to the hour train
within 75 yds ?
Even the engineer got down off his
seat, seeing the danger.
Sometime ago the Town commis
sioners ordered all trains to a dead
stop before cross3ing Corbin street.
From strong appeals from the rail
road, the town commissioners agreed
to rescind the ordinance andjbe satis
fied with a watchman.
Faithful "Unci'? Eph" is power
less in thi3 particular sphere.
gJThe safety of our citizens and
others demands that something be
done. Let the speed of all trains
be limited to 4 mile3 to the hour,
or require every one to come to a
dead stop at the depot
It has been said that the vestibule
can be running at 40 mile speed and
be stopped inside of one minute.
That is an impossibility, besides such
a sudden stop would turn the whirl
ing splendor, with bar attachments,
wrong side out and eliminate from
existence every passenger.

Sudden Death of a Good Han.
Yesterday morning about nine
o'clock, Mr. Milas B Leslie while
standing on the sidewalk in front
of Dr. Lilly's offiee ind conversing
with him, suddenly fell to the
ground and expired before any as
sistance could be rendered. His
death is supposed to have been
caused by'apoplexy or sudden heart
failure.
Mr. Leslie was a quiet and unas
uming gentleman who enjoyed
the respect and confidence of all
who knew him. He had thousands
of friends ; he had no enemies. lie
knew the path of duty and he fol
lowed it without question. It was
enough for him to manage his own
affairs well : Nobody ever heard
him make invidious criticism of his
neighbors. To him the fear of Cod
was surely the beginning of wisdom.
And he brought his children up by
the same high standard. His heart
wa3 full of that broad charity
whicn vaunteth not itself and doe3
not make haste to judge the faults
and weaknesses of frail human na
ture. He was a man of deeds, not
of words, and on his gravestone may
be truthfully written that simplest
and grandest of all epitaphs. "Here
lies an honest man."
Robbed of 83.
While on his way from Charlotte,
Friday evening, Dr. II W Bays was
robbed of $85. There is only a bare
possibility of his having lost it. In
passing from one car to another he
had difficulty a man stood there
and refused to step aside, paying no
attention to Dr. Bays' request to let
him by. Dr. Bays believes that the
purse was taken from him there. It
is a purse made of alligator skin.
There were two 20 dollar bills, four
10-dollar bills and one 5-dolIar bill,
this being a new one and from the
Statesville bank.
This is a loss and one that lies
pretty hard, being taken in the style
it was. There is scarcely a possi
bility of its ever being regained.
The man that appeared so rude
was a low, chunky and red complects
ed fellow.
Public meeting.
On Tuesday night May. 24 there

and take a personal interest and part
in the meeting.
Lawyer Woman.
Mrs. Bryan, the wife of the
brilliant young orator from
Nebraska, who made such a
sensation by his tariff speech
in congress, is a graduate of a
law school and has been ad
mitted to practice in the
courts of her state. She no
longer practices, however,
when asked to what branch of
the profession she adheres she
inyariably replies: "Domes
tic relations." She says,
though, that if her husband
should die or become disabled
in any way she would always
have her profession to fall
back upon.

THE PLATFORM,
Adopted by the State Convention at
Raleigh Wednesday.
Resolved 1. That the Democracy
of North Carolina reaffirm the prin
ciples of tho Democratic party, both
State and national, andfparticularly
favor the free coinage of Bilver and
an increase of the currency, and the
repeal of the internal revenue syss
tern. And we denounce the McEin
ley tariff bill as unjust to the con
sumers of the country, and leading
to the formation of trusts, combines
and monopolies which have oppress
ed the people; and especially do we
denounce the unnecessary and bur
densome increase in the tax on cot
ton ties and on tin, so largely used
by the poorer portion of the people.
Wo likewise denounce the iniquites
ous force bill, which is not yet aban
doned by the Republican party, but
is being urged as a measure to be
adopted ae soon as they regain con
trol of the House of Representas
tives, "the purpose and effect of
which measure will be to establish
a second period of reconstruction in
the Southern States, to subvert the
tho liberties of our people and in
flame a new race antagonism and
sectional animosities.
2. That we demand financial re
form, and the enactment of laws
that will remove the burdens of the
people relative to the existing agri
cultural depression, and do lull and
ample justice to the farmers and la
borers of our country.
3. That we demand the abolition
of national banks, and the substitu
tion of legal tender Treasury cotes,
in lieu of national bank notes, is
sued in sufficient volume to do the
business of the country on a cash
system, regulating .the amount
needed on a per capita basis as the
business interests" of the coun
try expand, and that all money
issued by the government shall be
legal tender in payment of all debts,
both public and private.
4. Tliat we demand that Congress
shall pass such laws as shall effect
ually prevent the dealing in futures
of all agricultural and mechanical
productions: providing such strin
gent system of procedure in trials
as shall secure prompt conviction
and imposing such penalties as shall
secure most perfect compliance with
the law.
5. That we demand the free and
unlimited coinage of silver.
6. That we demand the passage
of laws prohibiting the alien owners
ships of land, and that Congress
take early steps to devise some
plan to obtain all lands now owned
by alien and foreign sj-mlicates; and
that all lands now held by railroads
and other corporations, iu excess
of such as is actually usud and need
ed by them, be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual set
tlers only.
7. Believing in the doctrine of
"equal rights to all and special
privileges to none," wo demand that
taxation, national or State, shall
not be used to build up one interest
or class at the expense ol another.
We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people,
and hence we demand that all rev
i l - i i i.
enue, national, oiaie or county,
shall be limited to the necessary
expenses of the government, econ
omically administered.
8. That Congress issue a suffi
cient amount of fractional paper
currency to facilitate the exchange
through the. medium of the United
States mail.
9. That the General Assembly
pass such laws as will make the
public school system more effective,
that the blessings of education may
be extended to all the people of
tho State alike.
Mr. McDonald, of Cabarrus,
moved that the platform be adopted
by acclamation. The following
amendment was offered and ac
cented.

The Papers Spoilt Hint.
Greensboro Workman.
It was not long ago that it
was said of a young preacher
whose course had developed
somewhat erratic that the
newspapers had spoilt him
The columns of some of the
newspapers are accessible to
almost any correspondent who
wishes" to puff the efforts of
one to whom he fakes a fancy,
and such puffs are often writ
ten without any correct no
tions of merit and simply to
gratify the Avhim of the writer
The young man, the subject of
the puff, is pleased with the
compliment and believes it a
true picture of himself. In
numbers of cases the newspa
per puff becomes a deadly
poison; the young man's head
swells until high mindedness
effects his ruin.
It would be a good thing if
the practice of puffing were
discontinued altogether until
some great man comes along.

To dear Wilmington, with its gole'en

Where river and ocean cease their

As they mingle and kiss the Eastern

Will euro You, ia a trun statement of tho
ai'tion of AYEP.'S Sarsajiarilla, when
taken for diseases originating in impnri
' Mood ; but, while this assertion is true of
AYEU'S Sarsaparilhi, as thousands enn
attest, it cannot bo truthfully applied tn
other preparations, which niiptineiple't
dealers will recommend, and try to im
pose upon you, as "just as good a
Ayer's." Take Aycr's Sarsnparill.i and
Ayer's only, if you need a bh.od-purifinr
and would be, benefited permanently.
This medicine, for nearly Iifty years,
lias enjoyed a reputation, and madu a.
record for cures, that has never been
equaled by other preparations. AVER';!
Sarsaparilla eradicates tho taint of he
reditary scrofula and other blood dis
eases from the system, and it lias, deser
vedly, the confidence of the people.
Sarsaparilla
"I cannot forbear to express my joy at.
the relief I have obtained from the uso
of AYER'S Sarsaparilla. I w as afflicted
with kidney troubles for about six
months, suffering greatly with pains in
the small of my back. In addition to
this, my body was covered with pimply
eruptions. Tho remedies prescribed
failed to help me. I then began to take)
AYER'S Sarsaparilla, and, in a short
time, the pains ceased and the pimples
disappeared. I advise every youngman
or woma, in case of sickness result
ing from impure blood, no matter how
long standing the ca.se may be, to tako
AYER'S Sarsaparilla." II. L. Jarmann,
