Ilia Owk Paper.
The report, that Mr. Wilson, of
the Wilson Advance, had disap
peared, is now vouched for by an
nanouncement in his own paper.
The whole affair is a mystery.
The Standard learns that there was
probably some matters not herein
mentioned that influenced Mr. Wil
son to take this step; but we took
him to be stronger than that His
own paper sajs this:
The readers of The Advance will
regret to know that Mr. Clande F
Wilson, who has ben editor of this
paper has left Wilson. The cirs
enmstances of his departure are
shrouded in mystery. He left Wil
son Suiiday morning, October 30tb,
on the 3 o'clock train, without tell .
ing any one that he was going, and
went to Weldon. He has not since
been heard from acd there was at
first much fear that he bad come to
an untimely end. But it 13 now bes
ieyed that he departed deliberately
for some cause that is not yet fully
explained. He owed some debts,
but his creditors were not pressing
him and he had friends who would ,
have gladly assisted him in any fi
nancial stress. A few weeks ago he
received a note, said to be from
Gideon's Band, threatening his life.
Some think that this so frightened
him that he became temporarily
crazed, and while in this condition,
he took the train and went away to
escape tne tnreareneu aeain. we
hazard no gues at the cause of his
sudden and unexplained departure,
hoping that the reason advanced
that he was suffering from tempo
rary insanity may turnout to be the
correct one. it is the obit theory
urged that-i consistent with the
confidence that has been placed in
him by the people of Wilson. His
family have been greatly distressed
as he left them no word and his
mother has almost been crushed un
der the blow. It is the most inex
plicable affair ever known in this
part f North Carolina, for Mr.
Wilson is a young man of unques
tioned talent and capacity. He had
a fine opening here and no young
man in the State ever enjoyed more
advantages to win a successful and
useful career. It is sad tbat a career
that promised eo much is endd so
mysteriously and disastrously, and
that his reputation rests under a
cloud.

CONCORD NC. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 17
WUAT WILL, II E IMKNK?
Perhaps the greatest objection
many Southern people had with Mr.
Cleveland's former administration
was his lack of appreciation for
party service his not "chopping off
heads.
That's about what beat the gentle
man in 1888.. Such 'will hardly be
repeated. The Standard expects to
see a clean sweep to begin about the
5th of next March a sweep all
along the line. Democrats expect
this, and they have a right to expect
such.
Possibly there are thousands in
this county, who expect to see some
sweeping done.
If Adlai Stevenson has a say so,
it will be done.
The Counties.
Halifax county, that gaye 1,700
majority against Cleveland in 18S0,
this year gives him 2,000 majority.
Halifax is oi e of the heavy negro
counties.
Rutherford county is Democratic

Chatham county gives Cleveland
800; Carr 1,000.
