ABOUT THE NEW DAILY.
We thank "Fair Play" very
much for his kindly considera
tiodof,our situation and the
compliments bestowed on us as
being a success with The Stand
ard. There is only one side to our
nature, that is frankness. We
are pained to think that with all
the self sacrificing efforts that
we have made, in violation of
the physological laws that prom
ise health and longevity, even,
we are the subject of slaughter
at the. hands of those we have
strived so hard to serve.
We have always suffered from
diffidence that we were not equal
to the legitimate demands of our
town in learned editorial profic
iency, but we have questioned
whether the talent that ought to
run a daily in Concord would re
ceive such support as would be
encouraging.
We are entirely satisfied to re
tire in favor of a superior, but a
movement, which, to be success
ful, must neccessarily crush us,
we do not feel called upon to
view cheerfully.
As for the press dispatches it
is as "Fair Play" says, we are
wiUing, even anxious to take
them and it has been our grief
. that we could not feel justified
financially in enlarging The
Standard long ere this. , There
are other things in Concord that
will be greatly improved and en
larged when finances justify.
-From the best we can gather
the new movement will depend
for its materializing upon such
support as would beof very ma
terial aid an bringing up The
Standard to a desired status.'
This business men know full
weU. We therefore feel justified
in asking that some reasonable
and living chance be given us by
which to retire and give an open
field to the new daily with our
hearty good will and the cheer
ful acquiescence of those who
have shown us such kindness as
to encourage us that they would
not be willing to aid in our hu
miliation and financial distress.
We do not wish to be under
stood as playing the part of a
mendicant but our sense of right
gives us some claim to recogni
tion and a chance for adjustment
to a changed situation if our ser
vices to the public in our present
position are not satisfactory.
,We know we deserve better than
Xo be crushed and we feel as ' 'Fair
Play" says and we think every
other thoughtful man will admit
that Concord will not sustain twTo
dailies.
DREYFUS CASE REPRODUCED.
We are about to hav;e a repro
duction of the Dreyfus case here
in the ' United States in that of
Capt. O M Carter, who has been
charged with squandering great
sums of public money on the
harbor at Savannah or stealing
outright.
He was arraigned before a
court martial and was declared
guilty by a vote of seven to four,
we believe. His punishment was
quite severe. We have seen the
president severely criticised that
he has not reviewed the case and
e xecuted the decree of the court.
Now, however, strongs and able
characters avow their belief that
Capt. Carter is innocent and the
victim of envy and conspiracy.
The 'Chicago Times-Herald
publishes a reputed interview
wTith Frank P Blair, counsel for
Capt. Carter, in which he is rep
resented as preferring charges
of perjury and subornation of
perjury in the Carter trial against
Gen. Otis and that he will at an
early date prefer like charges
against Col. Thomas F Barr.
The Chicago Chronicle of
same date, however, gives a re
puted interview with l3r. Blair
in which he denies having made
the charges but hes declares faith
in Capt. Carter's innocence, as
does Hon. Wayne ilacVeigh.
Ah incentive for the conspiracy
is offered in the fact that Capt.
Carter was placed on the Nicara
guan Canal Commission, in
which capacity he said he would
scrutinize the matter closely and
would expose any crookedness
he found . There was crookedness
and Capt. Carter was not wanted.
Hence the conspiracy to humuli
ate and crush him.
It promises to be a bad case
and if a conspiracy, it. -will' be
equal in-disgracefulness to the
Dreyfus case.
' CATTLE AND TICKS.
The August Bulletin contains
a number of articles that should
be read, especially by our farm
ers. One particular topic is
very interesting, that pertaining
to ticks and tick fever in cattle.
It gives the experience of cattle
men with it including their losses
and the remedies . for it. It is a
subject that should be more
closely studied.
Until a few years ago "dis
temper" was looked upon as an
unavoidable evil and ticks were
regarded with much indifference.
Since the one is proven to be the
cause of the other it is plain
enough that great care should be
exercised in keeping ticks off the
cattle and avoiding, as far as
possible, any contact with cattle
not known to be free from them.
We are just beginning to learn
these valuable lessons, and it is
reasonable to hope that the war
against the disease will bring
valuable results.
Before dismissing the subject
we would like to say to those
who recall that all cattle used to
have ticks and they seemed to do
little harm, that "since you have
the stock law, good improved
stock has been introduced, on
which you find no ticks and most
of the farm herds are without
ticks. All these are doubly
liable to take the disease. Cattle
that grow up
among
the ticks

jc Lliles NERVE PLASTE& Only 250.
are like people growing up in
the yellow fever districts, they
are almost immune, but cattle
unused to the ticks are so sus
ceptible that herds are almost
swept away if not treated vigor
ously and in due time.
We so often hear the charge
that there is little done for the
farmer. We see no chance to
legislate agriculture into pros
perity as is done in certain lines
of manufacturing but North Caro
lina is doing probably all she
can do at' the Agricultural and
Experiment Station to help our
farmers to many practical ideas.
The Bulletin is sent out every
month free to all who will have
their names put on the mailing
list. The management desires
to make its list anew so as not to
send to persons dead or indiffer
ent to it. Therefore notice is
sent out with the August number
that all who want it must signify
it by sending in their names, ex
cepting those who have sub
scribed for it since the Hfst day
of June. The Standard's farmer
readers will please note this and
attend to the matter. The Bulle
tin is a very acceptable gift.
Now it is whispered out loud
that John R McLean does not
care a snap to be governor of
Ohio but wTants to beat William
J. Bryan at getting the presi
dential nomination next year.
The step would be shorter and
easier if he could win the guber
natorial distinction. It is" even
rumored that he would take the
second place on the ticket or
would put up with a senatorial
plum if nothing better should
come within reach. But allow
ance must be made for rumors.
Admiral Dewey is quoted in
a dispatch of the 5th from Gi
braltar as saying the next dry
season will, in his opinion, see
the insurgent forces subdued in
the Philippines. There's nothing
new in the idea but it is pleasant
to have the hero giving opinions
so in harmony . with the general
desire. '
A MOTHER TELLS HO W SHE
SAVED DAUGHTERS LIFE.
I am the mother of eight child
ren and have had a great deal of
experience with medicines. Last
summer my little , daughter had
the dysentery m its. worst form.
W e thought she would die. I
tried everything I could think of.
I. saw by an advertisement in onr
paper that. Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was highly recommended and
sent and got a bottle at once. It
proved to be one of the very best
medicines we ever had in the
house. Ifc saved my little daught
er's life. I am anxious for every
mother to know what an excellent
medicine it is. Had known it at
first it would have saved me a
great d;al of anxietv aud my
little daughter much kuffering'.

NO HfllTEi!
Is the laundry hard on your goods ?
Some are. Examine your goods as
carefully when you fend them to us as
when you receive them back again and
you will find that we sew up many a
rip, mend mauy a button hole, put new
neck bands on shirts not too badly
worn Cwhen requested), and in many
ways try to prolong the use of your
linen. One trial is not a test. Often
aamage uaa oeen aone m previous
laundering and we get the blame. Give
us your steady patronage and we will
guarantee your linen to last longer than
when done at many other laundries.
