We have some subscribers who say they can't pay us in anything but wood.

Chairman Simmons thinks that between 25,000 and 30,000 col ored men in the State can vote under the proposed amendment. We would suppose at least that number can vote if the amond mont should pass, as it will. Af ter 30-odd years of public school ing, at the expense of the whites, there ought to be nearer 40,000 who can vote, boing able to read and write. The whitos have ex pendod not loss than $8,000.000 probably $10,000,000 of their own money to qualify negroes to read and write. We give this from the wide-awake Democratic chairman: "It is estimated that between 2"). 000 and 30,000 negroes in the State can now comply with the test . There tire probably in the State two or three thousand ne gro votes who are lineal doscond ants of what were known before the war as "free negroes," who were entitled to vote in this State under the constitution as it ex isted prior to 1835. These will be entitled to vote undoi the 5th section. There are probably a few hundrod negroes in the State who were residents prior to 1867, of States in which negroes wore allowed to vote, and they also can vote under the 5th section. The balance of the negroes will not be able to vote until thoy have qualified themselves undor the 1th section by learning to read and write." Wilmington Mess engor. The Olllcinl Program. Tho great Dewey celebration on the 28th in New York is to be a gigantic affair.

Old Simmer Place Hold. The Salisbury correspondent of the Charlotte Observer says the Old Sumner place, contain ing 210 acres, five miles South of Salisbury has been sold by judi cial sale to P P Meroney. A CAKE WALK. Married and Single Alike Take Part Two Cases of SicliuessOillecrs of tho Tuscarora Cotton Mill Elected. Written for The Standard. Mt. Pleasant, Sept. 19. Work is rapidly progressing on the well for the new cotton mill. Mr. John B McAllister is uot doing so well as at the time of our last correspondence. Mr. John Foil, son of Mr. Joe Foil, is filling his place behind the counter at Cook & Foil's. - Polls have been placed for a telephone line to the seminary. It will connect with the line be tween Concord and Albemarle. Mr. Wade Misenheimer has moved his family to Concord, where he has secured employ ment in the Odell mills. Mr. George Moose is very low with chronic diarrhoea. Little hope of his recovery is sustained. Messrs. Whit Dry and George Moose have placed machinery in the old gin house, known as the Luther Barrier gin, and will be gin ginning in a few days. Rev. R L Patterson, of Union Bridge, Md., who has been visit ing here for the last few days, leases Wednesday for Chicago, where" he will take a special course in theology. Two negroes are now living in the shanty in the rear of Dr. Foil's office. Last Saturday night some unknown parties gave them a bombardment with stones. The negroes, like the Filipinos, are still there. Two negro women, Jennie Heilig and Em Cook, were arraigned before Captain Cook yesterday for fighting. Each was fined ten dollars and ost, making twelve and one-half dol lars each. Some unknown parties were out for fun last Sunday night, John Barley-corn led them around town and had some fences torn down, pistols fired. and a number of other things that were not exactly in accordance with the keeping of the Sabbath day. The cake walk last Saturday evening at the home of Mr. L J Foil was quite a pleasant affair. About eight o'clock the music began, as furnished by Miss Annie Welsh on the piano. Out on che lawn the couples were taking their places and very soon the walk was on. After atenmin- utes walk, the drum beat came just asithe flag was being passed from one couple to another. As both had hold of the flag the cake was awarded to two couples, viz: Miss Blanche Mc Allister and Mr. D D Barrier, and Mrs. L J Foil and Dr. P A Barrier. It was then cut and passod to all the participants m the walk. Games were intro duced for tho rest of tho evening and at the usual hour thoy dis persed to moot again probably next Saturday evening. The stockholders of the Tus carora cotton mill held a meet ing today. Their object was to organize under the charter and elec t officers, which are as fol lows: Directors, J W Cannon, Rov. Paul Barringer, Jonas Cook, Dr. M A Foil, D D Barrier, A N James, I P Efird; President, J W Cannon; Secretary and Treasurer, Rev. Paul Barringer Not the Same Jesse. The Concord btandard ques tions if Mr. Jesse Hathcock who died near Porter last week, men tion of whose death was made in the Enterprise, is the Jesse Hathcock who was for a long time a citizen of Mt. Pleasant, We inquired as to that point too, for we are well acquainted with "Uncle Jesse," who was once a citizen of this county. We are informed that he is an inmate of the Soldier's Home, Raleigh. He was a familiar figure to the pass er by, in his shop in Mt. Pleas ant, but being no longer able to support himself, owing to a bul let wound received in tho war, ho sought the Soldier's Home, we presume. Stanly Enter prise. Dreyfus is Pardoned. It was .announced previously that Dreyfus would be pardoned at the French cabinet meeting on the 19th, While this pardon has not been officially promul gated it is fairly certain that the pardon was sighned on Tuesday. The presumption is, however, that it provides that he shall quit French territory. Dis patches indicate that after he has been gotten secretly away the paraon wui oe promulgated. It has been rumored that Madame Dreyfus has taken a residence at Faulkstone, near Dover, England. If so, he will doubtless go to England. A peculiar and pathetic part of the latest chapter in this incident is that M Scheurer-Kestner, the first champion of Dreyfus, to whonx probably more than to all others is due his release, died suddenly on the very day the- cabinet determined to pardon Dreyfus. 1 A EXCITINCJ HCSAWAV. The Team Dashes Up Hpriw? Street With a Small He) Hanging to the Tongue The Wagon Run Over Hint But He Came Out Unhurt. An exciting runaway occurred Monday v afternoon about 5 o'clock when a team went dash ing up Spring street with a small boy, Ransom Upchurch, son of Mr. Geo. R Upchurch, hanging on the wagon tongue while the driver, Mr. Jno, Blalock, was making every effort to stop the team. Mr. Blalock had on his wagon several bales of cotton and when he went to turn into Spring street from Depot street the bales slipped to the frontof the wagon getting against the mulos. When the bales slipped forward the little boy was thrown out upon the tongue and the driver landed on the ground. As the team in full speed went along the street the little fellow was holding to the tongue. But his hold gave way and he fell to the ground but fortunately the wag on went over him and he came out of the affair unhurt. After they noared the Baptist church the team was stopped and scarcely any damage was done. The Opening of Mont Aniiena Seminary. The opening at this institu tion was better than usual. Al ready forty-three students have secured rooms in the dormitories of the institution. This does not include the local patronage and those who board in town. Of this number of boarders South Carolina furnishes 16 and Georgia 5. All of the rooms are occupied although a few more students may be accomodated in rooms which have not their full num ber of occupants. The total en rollment will appear smaller than usual this year as the institution has discontinued tho primary department which usually addod 20 or 35 to the roll. A fine body of students is rep resented, nearly all of whom are in the Seminary classes. An informal reception was tendered the new students by the faculty on Saturday night. Music, elocution and refresh ments delighted the new-comers, and the kind and familiar inter course of teachers and old stu dents forcibly told the new ones that they wore in a school with home environments and that they were welcome. Runaway on North Main Street. Bad luck fell to Mr. Will Pe den, of Albemarle, this (Tuesday) afternoon when his horse which he drove up here from Albemarle ran away, tearing to pieces tho buggy. He was preparing to re turn to Albemarle and the ani mat commenced to run so soon as ho drove out of Mr. Baxter Parks' yard. The cause of the runaway was the shafts coming loose on one side. Mr. Peuen and Mr. Clarence Connolly were in the buggy at the time. Mr. Connelly, like a contortionist, went backwards out of the buggy. Mr. Peden jumped out at the side and fell but was not hurt The buggy struck a telephone post near Mr. N F Yorke's resi dence. i Frank Brumley Married. On Sunday afternoon at the parsonage of St. James Luth eran church Rev. Chas. B Miller performed the marriage cere mony, uniting Mr. Frank Brum ley, of East Depot street, and Miss Maggie Clayton, daughtor of Mr. J C Clayton. Only a few intimate friends of tho bride and groom wore present. The bride is a worthy young lady, and has numbor6 of frionds at Forest Hill. Mr, Brumley has, for a number of years, been employed in the composing room of news paper offices and is at present working irt the Timos office. A Double Wedding Sunduy Morning. On last Sunday morning Rev. W B Oney was called upon to porform a marriage ceremony to four contracting parties. The marriage took place at Mr. J W Driver's. The sisters, Misses Mattie and Ida Poteat were mar ried the former to Mr. David Winocoff, of No. 4 township, and the latter to Mr. L E Bost, of Forest Hill. Long may the four live and prosper. From Forest Hill. The little child of Mr Jno. Earnhardt was thrown from the buggy while turning a corner hore Sunday, but was not se riously hurt. It was sitting on a chair in the buggy, Rov. J D Arnold preached an unusually strong and forcoful sermon Sunday. He will be gin a protracted meeting at his church next Sunday, APPEALS TO COTTON PLASTERS. Chairman Allison Suggests That Our Cotton Planters Organize Argument in Its Itelutr. In Suuday's edition of the Ral eigh Post Mr. Jno. P Allison, of this place, writes' as follows in the interest of our cotton raisers of the South : "The low price of cotton and the depressed condition of our planters is the inspiration of this letter; the amelioration of the same its object. "By this continued depression we are brought to tho necessity Of taking action for relief, and as 'necessity is the mother of in vention,' it has developed the following plan. "All agree that present and prospoctivo prices of cotton are below the reasonable cost of production; the efforts to reduce acreage have not boen success ful to any appreciable degree, "Is there really an over-production, so as to cause low prices; or is the low price due to other causes ? Believing that tho.low price is due to other causes, the remedy would seem to lie in the organizing of planters and deal ers into a joint stock company of sufficient strength to control the crop. Can this be done? There are, in round numbers, about 1,000 counties growing cotton. Should these counties each raise an average of $50,000 the difference in the price of cot ton for one crop will almost do this. "I admit this seems to be a very large amount for planters to raise; but when wo consider the large amounts boing raisod by industries of insignificant im portance compared with the cot ton crop, we ought to say we can raise this and will. "There are railroad corpora tions running through the South with more capital. -Tho sugar rofinories, Standard Oil Co., American Tobacco Co., and others I might mention, have more capital than this would amount to. Now all these, ex cept the first montioned of course, are to control manufactured goods, which is more difficult than to control cotton, and their success is no longer in doubt. "If every planter would agree to put into the capital all of his surplus over five cents for mid dling cotton the amount could be raised, the planter would have his stock paid, and yet get as much money for his crop as his last crop brought or his next is likely to bring without this or ganization. "We will then be in a position to hold all surplus cotton at a fixod price, which must bo uni form throughout the year and according to its nearness to market. Local banks would do the same business as heretofore and get better deposits from that source "Neither would this antagonize the manufacturers' interests. It will help to make their own prices more stable. They will be satisfied when they are as sured of our ability to maintain our position; they will be bene fited by not having such heavy tocks to carry as now. That will bo a considerable advantage to them. Then, again, the cer tainty of a supply when needed will be a source of relief. I think they ought to favor such an organization. "I advise a conservative course toward manufacturers. Our in terests and theirs should not con flict. "Great objects cannot be ac complished by narrow and selfish means. Wo should throw aside all prejudice and look to legiti mate protection of our own in terests, at the same time recog nizing the rights of others. "Our succoss then would be assured, and country homos and schools pictured in fiction be nearer a reality and petty jeal ousies dispersed. "It is easier to soo trouble than remedy it, wo all know. Laws are often passod as a remedy; but that means politics, and al ways proves fallacious, "Upon investigating tho his tory of recent years along this line, it will bo seen that it costs more to protect au industry through politics than through business methods, In reading the reports of wit nesses before the Industrial Com mission of Congress, I notice they agree that cotton planters are in a deplorable condition, while industries controlled by capital are prospering. The tendency of the timos is, to capi talize each industry for its own protection. Why should not planters organize also ? "To do this a meeting is neces sary. 1 would suggest that a mooting be held at Asheville, North Carolina, which boing a 1 summer as well as a winter re sort, cheap rate tickets are al ways on sale all over the South to that point, or if Atlanta, Ga., is considered more central, that would suit, and cheap tickets could be procured to that plaae as well. "Persons representing com munities of j.danters, or cotton dealers, with certificates showing they are sent by these com munities, will be entitled to rep resentation in the organization, after which it will bo controled as all other corporations. "Tho expenses of the repre sentatives could be paid by their constituents, and would be light, on each." I A SHOOTING AFFAIR. Two Negroes Have a Row Over at olil Hill One Shoots the Oth..r Iu the Neck With a Pistol- Both Here In Jail. Last Saturday night two ne groes, Robert Hasty and Frank McDaniel, had a row at Gold Hill on this side of the county line. After some amount of quarreling McDaniel, with a rock in his hand, threatened and was about to hit Hasty in the head with it, when Hasty pullod out his pistol and shot McDaniel. The bullet took effect in Mc Daniel's neck1 on one side and came out at his shoulder, He is not badly hurt. Both of the negroes wore arrested Monday morning and tried before a magistrate. Fail ing to givo bonds for their ap pearance at court, both wore brought here Monday evening and confined to jail. Both were somewhat intoxicated.
