BEOUTED IIEIi FATHER
MOTHER BOTH DEAD.
A - Enraged Father looking u; the
Records Concerning ;the Marriage
or HI Daughter Xothlnar seems to
top Love-3Xay be n Vffly Case.
Mr. L J OvereasH, of Mill Bridge,
Rowan county, was in town making
an investigetion of some marriage
records in the court house. Mr.
0verca3h is troubled and angry.
On Aug. 2Clh. while he and his
wife were in Salisbury, MrMilaa
(Sam) Oveicash, of No. 1, township,
Cabarrus county, took Miss Minnie
Overcasb, the daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. L J Overcash, and struck out
for license. Mr. Wooteu, the Keg
ister of Rowan county, refused to is
.sue license because he. knew the
lady to be under 18 years of age.
On being asked if he could get li
cense in Cabarrus Mr. Wooteu told
him that he would have to swear
falsely if he succeeded.
Mr. Milas (or Sam as they all call
him) Overcash applied to Mr. Jno.
K Patterson, cur Register, for
license. Mr, Patterson not knows
ing him, required him to get a wiN
nea3. ,,
Mr. Overcash got Mr. R V Smith
to go with him to' Register Patter-

name is put down Mila3 and every

is put down as 20 years of age and
as a resident of. No. 5, Labrru
county. And the license states
further that Minnie's father and
mother are both dead, but they are
living and the Standard thinks Mr,
Overcash is tbeliveot corpse it ever
saw.
Mr, R V Smith and Mr. Over
cash, the groom, swore in regp.rd to
the bride as follows : "That the par
ties applying for license are of law
ful age, and so far as they are iu
formed and believe, there i3 no law
ful cause or impediment forbidding
said marriage.
R. V. MITH,
(Signed) m.Ovehcasii."
Mr.. Overcash says his daughter
will not be sixteen until next Feb-
urary and that his bible, the church,
record and the census shows it.
Mr. Overcash proposes to take
legal action, for he "doesn't propose
to have anyone run over his rights.
The ceremony was performed on
the 28th of August, by Capt. J M W
Alexander, of No. 1.

An Interview With Mr IIartyWhy
J Lett The Third Party.
In a conversation with Mr. D M
Hardy, who put fJr. Ex urn in norni
nation in the Third 4arty Conven
tion, and has since repudiated all
connection with that party, he etated
that he went into the Third party
moveajt, because he kne v that
the people were suffering, and hoped
that something could be done for
their relief through the rew party.
lie said that he had no particular
acquaintance with 'Dr. Exum, but
knowing that his family stood well,
thought that he would make a good
candidate.
Before nominating him he a?ked
Dr. Exum what he thccsht about
this proposed change of county gov
ernment, and the Doctor replied that
he was opposed to any change and
wanted things to stand as they were.
He particularly stated "that he
didn't want any niggtr government."
A week after the nomination Dr.
'Exum stated in the presence of
several persons at Goldsboro, and in
Mr. Hardy's hearing, that he would
rather have neuro rule than the
CI
present State government.
Mr. Hardy, thinking that Dr.
Exum had made that remark through
anger and irritation, and. .being

state r.amimstration. ine ounuuy
after ho was nominated, Mr. Hardy
s:;r that he and Mr. Wooteu went
to see Dr. Exum and Dr. Exum re
marked tc him that S Otho Wilson
had told him that the Republicans
would give fifty thousand dollars to
secure the electoral vote of this State
for Harrison, and would elect the
Third party State ticket if they could
get the vote for Harrison. And Dr,
Exum said that he would rather
hrive it to the Republicans than to
the Democrats.
Mr Hardy said that having studied
the financial matters, he ascertained
that no Jaw of which the people
complained nas neon passeu wnen me
t i ill
Democrats had control ot either
house of Congress, and he became
thoroughly satisfied that they were
not to blame ffor the condition of
things; and becoming ' thoroughly
satished that Dr. lixum was not a tu
man to be Governor of the State,
and furtW becoming satisfied that
there was a movement to'giyethe
electoral vote of the State to the
Republicans in pursuance of a cor
rupt bargain, he determined to leave
the Third party and return to the
Democratic party, and did so.

What Can Be Doua With Wheat. ' ; J
Cabarrus county does not claim to
be the best wheat growing county in
the State. But we claim that even
8 years ago flour (surplus) was ship
ped away from her?; that if only br
dinary attention is given to wheat
growing in this county a large
amount can be grown above what is
needed for home use. After this
there will be nos jjist excuse for
using western flour, as the county
will be supplied with roller mills

and there is a probability of tha
substantial and enterprising citizen
Mr W It Kindly, - of Mt. Pleasant

in mis connection the standard
desires to call attention to what can
be done in the county. Mr J P Al

Out of his crop of wheat he selected

Frequently we hear of complaints
about the ''bad stands," which must
be due, in great part, to bad seed.
Mr Allison took up 3 bushels of
wheat and 2 of oats out of the 1,000
he had specially picked for seeding,
and exhibited at the fair, This ex
hibit was highly complimented.
Commissioner of Agriculture John
Robinson, said it was the finest ex

The Stanly News has this to say:
Swink Bros., of Concord, N C,
opened a store at New London last
January. They seem to like the
Stanly trade so well they have rented
a room of the King brick building
at Albemarle, and will put in a first
class stock of general merchandise
at once. They seem to be following
the Stanly trade, and the more we
give them the better they will like
it The firm . is well known to
Stank people who used to go to
Concord with iheir cotton, eggs,
chickens, etc, to buy supplies. We
are glad to have these men with us
and trust that they will receive the
patronage that they deserye.
