NOT 1HI AT AM.. The Morning Star (Wilming ton) of the 13th says: "A wave of special gratiiica tion pervaded the association when Prosident Dowd announced that Mr. Sol Boar, of Wilming ton, had through Secretary Sherrill sent a case of claret wine. The hearty thanks of the association were voted Mr. Bear for his inspiring gift." There is something erroneous about this and inasmuch as The Standard contained the clip ping on the 14th and, inasmuch too, as it has passed beyond the point of a joke with some, it may be well enough for us to make a statement, not that we have too much of the joke or that we had too much of the claret. Among the announce ments made, President Dowd announced the tender of the claret. Mr. Dowd made some remarks accompanied with the act of taking up a glass of water before him and drinking of it that showed that he did not propose to sip the claret, but he very properly did not withhold j tho tender from the body, so that those who wished could en joy it. The claret was made the occasion of some pleasantry and a little clashing of wits but there was no vote of thanks by the body and , no motion to effect. The Star has made that ' tho! correction. It was simply an nounced,- joke over and dropped as a subject, probably no one dropped the wine for few ever took it up. The whole matter was treated as a joke and the writer saw nothing of he claret save once when a few, including himself, and all who wished to, went into the little side room and partook of it. We did not find it a tempting drink and the greatest indifference was mani fested toward it. We learned that it was a drag and certainly beyound the joking about it the convention treated the matter with practical discourtesy; nor was there a sign visible to the writer of any effects of aught but good eating, seabreezes and a good natured set. At tho New Hanover club reception Wednesday night a drink was served that was about as good and appeared, as free from intoxicants as lemonade or soda water. Wre learned that it was claret punch. It seemed to the writer a very acceptable drink but decidedly 'thin." We are proud of the associa tion of newspaper men in its freedom from every semblance of revelry and in the manifest dignity that characterized the body. THE SEASON I.EIitESSINti. We are in the midst of a season of parching heat and withering drought. The rains are coining in spots and localities it seems, but in many sections come re ports that crops will be cut very short if rain does not come soon. While all should bow in humble submission and the faithful know that somehow it is for the best, there is unavoidably a feeling of depression at the certain priva. tions that must ensue. It moans cherished hopes blighted and fond expectations unrealized. Lots that have been hard will doubtless be harder, and many imaginary evils may become only too real, yet ours is a land in which real calamities are few and extreme suffering for want of subsistence is rarely met. The cry of distress is quickly heard and there is charity to meet every case of real destitu tion. If it is ever tardy it is from impositions upon it and not from a lack of broad philan thropy. Spartanburg, says the Ander son Intelligencer, is about to June her L'-l'tli cotton mill. WE 10VT SEE THE llAMiElt. There is going the rounds from the Houston, Texas, Post, a cry of warning against the round cotton bale as the movement i; manipulated by a grand corpo ration. It is calculated to set one's hair on ends to follow the alarming predictions of the great trust evil that is wrapped up in the round bale. We have always felt hospitable to the round bale, believing that it would prove a benefit to our cotton growers, but as a matter of course our people are not go inar to throw away their old methods and adopt the new till they see tho advantages in it Nor can we see what on earth there is to prevent the readop- tion of the square bale if the monopoly becomes so exacting as to make terms disadvantages to their natrons. Wo confess to some fear that the round bale process is going to be worked for all there is in it, which all patentees or purcluisers of them trv to do. and that the cotton raisers will not soon reap the benefits of the process, but it is easily seen that our people can go on in tho good old way till a better is offered. The round bale trust can't buy our manufacturers and these will buy the cotton and will be glad for it. What there is to be alarmed about we can't see. At Libertyville, 111., says dispatch of thelGth, Mrs. George Treider, in a family ciuarrel, got wrought up to the act of shoot ing her mother dead Her hus band hastened to disarm her and received three shots, when he fled. She then turned the weapon on herself, firing two shots, end ing her maniacal career. Her husband is expected to recover. How terrible to lose mental bal ance. That bachelor, Col. John P, Dameron, of Missouri, who had 20,000 worth of property to dis pose of at his death, came near invalidating his will probably by providing that each woman and child who could establish the claim of being his'n should be 'given twenty-five dollars. It will be interesting to note the : successful ones. The Asheville Citizen says AVestern North Carolina has lost more money raising tobacco than it has made. Any country that raises tobacco to the exclusion of other crops is UKeiy to lose money. Salisbury Sun. Then why raise the stuff, on which to lose money, and we fear vital force for the race ? Smokeless owder is a great improvement over the old kind in that is does not disturb the vision of those who are burning it, but it has ceased to be invis ible. It is found that through a field glass of violet color the vapor rising from it is discern ible. Thus new strides in science are paralleled. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, has advised his fellow Democrats to drop Bryan and free coinage. It was a daring deed and may cost him his seat in the Senate. It takes a bold man to even inti mate that Bryan, free silver and Democracy are not inseparably and indissulably one. One Mr. Juo. Davis and his wife have started from New York to make the trip to San Francisco in an automobile. If successful it will stand head as a long journey by the new way of going without hoofs or rails. The automobile is coming. Happily the yellow fever scourge m Santiago seems sub siding. One death and one new case is the last daily report. It could hardly bo expected that the situation in Cuba could be better in the short time of Amer ican occupancy. It is estimated that $18,000,000 worth of gold will be coming out of Klondike this summer. But if gold is a cross on which we common folks are to be crucified this is not the best of news. Snow was actually seen to fall at Asheville on Sanday, the 10th, says the Asheville Citizen of the 17th. It is vouched for as cold facts in big flakes.

An article was tendered us re eeutly containing tho following very interesting matter if it wen vouched for by the medical fra ternity that would bo sure to have it end avail themselves of it if as reliable ns it would seem. It was given us for what it is worth and we pass it along the same way. It is not hard to be lieve that there are antidotal powers in the prescription but we are of that persuasion that believes that all valuable reme dies known at all are known by the medical men and are pro scribed by them. The article was furnished by 11. L. Shoemaker and published in 179 in Tho Christian at Work. It claims to be a preventive for hydrophobia for man and beast. He says that it has proved in fallible and cites some instances where jiersons had been bitten by dogs unquestionably rabid and all escaped. An instance is given in which a number of cows were bitten and the remedy was tried as an experiment. Half the number of cows were treated and all were saved. The others were not treated and all died of hydro phobia. It has been practiced about Philadelphia for more than 40 years, the writer says. Tho treatment is as tollows : Take 1J ounces of elecampane root, bruise and boil in a pint of sweet milk till reduced to half tho quantity. Take in morning and eat very light diet if any thing at all for the day. Use two ounces of the root in the same way on the third day and two ounces on the hlth day in the same way, when it is claimed that all danger will be averted. The treatment is to be applied at any stage before symptoms of hydrophobia appear, which is never earlier than nine days. For horses and cows the dose should be made four times as large as for a person. A Verbal Melee. Going upon a Cedar avenue car the other night the passeng- ers were much entertained by a verbal spat between a small cm - zen of German parentage and a tall native. Tho trouble all origi- nated from the fact that the car was very much crowded, so crowded that the two disputants were brought face to face in such close proximity that they could not make a gesture. Push up a little, cant you ?" inquired the tall man in an irri table tone. Several people were pushing him, and his irritability was quite excusame. i "V ell, no, I can t, replied the ittle man. "and vat is more, 1 don't haf to." "You're not much of a "Cntlo- m nrt " n w l 1 hrt toll til a l"i lUtlil, naiu laic? imli lucti. "Oh, Iton't know!" said thoiiut?""J "J " "" little man airilv. "Yen I vant an 1 opinion on chentlemen, I go to some fellow vat has got a leetie knowledge of der subiec'." "You're a very funny boy," said the tall man in a tone of deep sarcasm. "Veil." said the litllo man, "I may haf some senses of humor, but I'm not so hart hearted as to laugh at der foolishness of one idiot.". "Do you call me an idiot ?" gasped the tall man. "As long as I ton't know your name," said the little man, "I couldn't make der identification any more gomplete." Pretty sewn the car stopped to let off half a dozen passengers, and when things finally settled down the tall one and the short one were separated by a dozen seats. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Was It the Miwiing Link 1 Archie H. Browers, says a Banesteel, S. C, dispatch, had a show at that place recently and imong the attractions was a creature that he called tho miss ing link. It seemed too much like the human to be brute and too much resembling the brute to be human. In exhibiting it and tussling with it Browers lost his patience or his temper and struck the thing a blow Con tho head, from which it quickly died. Ho is now under arrest for murder and it is his burden to prove that it is purely a brute. This plea has been entered. His own words on exhibition 6f the thing may be very much in his way. Cotton Mill Better Than Oil. Some of the smaller cotton mills pay enormous dividends. The Wilson Times quotes Mr. li. G. Briggs, president of the Wil son Cotton Mill, as' saying that last year on a capital of $75,01 hi it earned $L'3,000 about .'SO per cent. That is as rich as Stand ard Oil. A mill at Gastonia and mother one at King's Mountain has made the same record. And yet there are some who claim that cotton manufacturing does not pay. Charlotte News. To Charleston Next Year. The National Educational As sociation's convention at Los Angeles lias closed with a very successful record. It will prob ibly meet in Charleston next year. Some one wanted to know the opinion of a Cumberland county (Pa.) farmer on the question: Is marriage a failure? His reply was: "I should say not. Whv.

I jlihulil Fever Takes, nn lnrxHH'ted Turn - Leaves Wife and Three dill- (lien. Tho very sad news comes that Mr. Martin L. Cline", of near St. John's church, died at an early hour on this (Wednesday) morn ing. He had been sick for about two weeks of a mild case of typhoid fever and was not thought to be dangerous, but shortly before he died that dread of tho malady, intestinal ulceration and rupture, occurred and death resulted quickly. Mr. Cline1 was 40 years of age. I nim vouth up ho was more than ordinarily noble and exemplary in character, lie was a deacon in his church and a pillar of strength to his pastor. lie married Miss ictoria, J. Fisher, whom ho leaves with three children deprived of a hus band and father who was noted for hfs tendernos ; and affection for his family, for whom he was doing well in providing all that industry and frugality secures. The funeral services will be conducted at ll:ii0 o'clock Thurs day at St. John's church by his pastor, Kev. S. D. Steffey. Our deepest sympathy and condolence are tendered the most excellent wife and the dear children, together with his nged parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. Cline and sisters and brothers, one of whom is our townsman, Mr. J. Ed. Cline. None but the Omniscient can seo wisdom and goodness in the death of one with so much power for good in life whose alloted years he has but half attained. Cider Selling Being Tested. For some time past tho ques tion of whether or not apricot and other ciders are intoxicating has been agitated and discussed by some of our citizens, and on Tuesday night merchants John A Cline and D. C. Furr, both of ' Forest Hill, were before Mayor ; Means, and were given a hearing in the matter. Mr. Cline was bound over till court for selling the stuff. Mr. Furr was put un- dor a S."0 bond for his appearance on Friday next. In the mean- time the technicalities ot the law will bo looked up. Mill UA (ohM.lation Here. I Poor Statesville!

Tho posts had just re ceived a coat of paint and the the people walking along in front of tho waiting room were warned not to come in contact with them. Mr. Hastings, how ever, did not heed. Felling Trees. Herbert Smith has his street force at work on West Depot street, and has built a continu ous sidewark from the beginning of the Wagner property at the depot on up town. The trees that stood just on the outside the fence at Scotia seminary, have been felled and cleared away. Tho change presents quite an odd appearance. Strange Japanese Satisfaction. Of all the freaks of fashion, style or custom, that of the Japanese funeral seems to take the cake. There is a fad for elab orate and ceremonial funerals. To have the funeral ceremonies executed according to order in every detail seems one of the cares of life. One Mr. Kume kawa recently 'arriving at the ago of 77 and counting his days well spent had his funeral cere monies attended to and every minutia attended to save his own part of kicking the bucket and being put in tho coffin before it was lowered into the gravo. The old fellow is happy in knowing that all things were done decently and in order and in hearing more good tilings said of him than ho deserved. Now when lie shutlles olT that mortal coil they wilt simply exnume the coffin, dump him in and leave him to his dreams of desending evolution. it ror over ft IT Tears 1r.

Miss Hat tie Goodman, of Saunders, is teaching school at tho Park school house. Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Barger spent Saturday in Faith. It is supposed that Mr. Harger ex pects to purchase a lot at that :ice with the intention of bnikling and moving his family soon. The community will regret very much to lose Mr. Barger. Ever day we see Mr. Jerry Basinger passing to and from his granite quarry, where ho is working a full force of hands. This quarry is supplying Con cord, Salisbury, Mooresville, Albemarle and other places with immense quantities of granite. Mr. Basinger has con tracts that will take him more than a month to fill. We are very much in need of rain. Vegetables are almost articles of the past and unless we have rain soon the gathering of cotton and corn will not bo a burden. Wheat is turning out very well; though money and meat may be scarce, we will have bread in abundance. Ap ples too, are scarce, and conse quently the distilleries will have a short life this season. Quite a number of young iieo- ple of Organ Church attended a picnic on Philip's mountain last Saturday. With baskets filled to prof usion and buckets of lemon ade, the party spent a pleasant day roaming over the mountain. Their childhood days seemed to return with the old well-known games of "tag," "hide-and-seek" and other childish amusements. The day passed uninterupted when it was learned that the supposed innocent purp ran across the mountain to tho lunch basket and made itself a filled and welcome visitor instead of an intruder. Nothing more was heard of the "foust" until its owner appeared on the scene to accuse tho party of intruding upon his premises, when in re ality the "foust" was the intrud er. Through the hospitality of tho people of Faith, tho party retired to the home of Mr. John Hargor, where they enjoyed a few hours at a lemonade party. The I'ile Itriver at Work.

Tho game between Kings Mountain and the homo team Tuesday afternoon was a walk over for our boys from tho start, having scored five runs in the first inning on errors. That was unfortunate, of course, for the visitors, but they bore up under it well, and held our boys a tight game until the ninth, when they tallied 1, a, 4. Davis, Ki.igs Mountain's pitcher, had ood speed, but the cleverness oi our boys soon found him, an I during tho game landed fifteen hits, while Wed dinglou of tho home team lot them pelt him for five hits. Tho game was won on fumbles and errors, together with the persuasion of the immense audi- ince in tho grandstand and the bloochers. Tho visitors were apparently timid at the begin ning but soon gingered up to good play in;;1 pitch. Kings Mountain had 0 errors to her credit while Concord made 4. Weddington struck out only 4 men, while Davis, his oppon ent, saw him and raised him one, having seated a.

Two men scored. Billy LoGrand played a beau tiful game of ball on second and simply carried tho grandstand with his every movement. Caldwell made the only double play and of course the spectators cheered. Carp at I'attcrson's l'oud.
