JXO. W. JOHNSTON DEAD.
potter One of the Old Veterans Laid
1o Rest He Was a Member of the
Twentieth North Carolina Regiment.
The news comes to us of the
death of Mr. John W Johnston,
of No. 3 township, which oc
rurred last Sundav about 12
o'clock
ness.
after a protracted ill-
Mr. Johnston
was aoout b;;
years of Tge. He -leaves a wife
and several grown children. He
is an old veteran and is familiar
lv known. as ''Coffee" Johnston.
He was a member of Company B
of the Twentieth North Carolina i
regiment. He is a half-brother
.of Messrs. Ed. and Chas. Johns
ton, who are now living at Rock
Hill. The funeral service was
conducted at Gilwood church by
Rev. J FPharr.
Sees the Standard's Side.
Mr. Editor: -Yesterday we
signed a contract to take adver
tising space for 12 months, in a
new daily paper which is to fur
nish the press dispatches. Our
reason for signing was that we
wished to put Concord to the
front as a progressive town full
abreast with the times by having
press dispatches. -
Upon reflection we feel that we
have done the Editor of the
Standard an injustice because he
could and would no doubt fur
nish the press dispatches if given
a guarantee of advertising pat
ronage such as is demanded by
this new paper. It needs no ar
gument to prove 'that our town
cannot support two dailies. Our
past experience and the experi
ence of Salisbury proves this. A
guarantee to the new paper
therefore means that the Stand
ard is not to have the advantage
of competition, but is to be prac
tically discriminated against.
Certainly if our people are so
eager for press dispatches the
Standard should have had a
chance. The editor of the Stand
ard has given his time and money
to building up a daily in Concord
when it was not remunerative
enough to tempt others. Now
that the Standard has proven
successful, we do not think it
right' to assist in tearing down
in order to build up for1 others'.
We are satisfied that no town
an prosper that encourages that
spirit. We therefore desire to
say that we hope that the busi
ness men of CdftC&rd who have
signified their willingness to give
advertising in order to secure
the jpress dispatches, will give
thtj Standard an opportunity to
furnish the dispatches oft same
terms proposed in the Contract
being circulated.
Fair Play.
To Teach in the tJdncord Institute.
Miss Van .Wagner, of Hamil
ton, N. Y. , will arrive in our
town Saturday. She comes to
take the musical department of
the Concord Institute. She has
just finished a four years course
at Oberlin Musical Conservatory
of Ohio and comes highly recom
mended. We are pleased to learn that
Mrs. Coler will preside over the
art department of that school.
