Concord, N. G., Sept. 13 1900:
JIAllILr A CORRECT CONCLUSION,
Our interesting contemporary ;
of Concord, the Daily Standard,
in commenting on the statement
that 34 per cent, of the white
children and 29 per cent, of the
colored ones are in attendance
upon the public schools, says
that ''notwithstanding the polit-
3i.eve education is and will ever
be more popular, and advanced
among the Caucasian than any
other race. "
Does our contemporary think
that the Caucasian parents of
Itforth Carolina have much to
-crow over in the statement that
GG per. cent, of the State's chil
dren are not allowed to take ad
vantage of what little educational
facilities that .. are offered?
Evening Telegram.
We declare we are astounded
at the conclusion at which our
very esteemed neighbor jumps.
TTe realized when we saw our
articio in print that there was
little m it but enough to convey
the idea that in the campaign
there were charges that the
white children are not attending
the schools as well as the col
ored children are. To be more
explicit now we will reiterate
that it was freely charged in
that, memorable campaign that
i
the negroes would beat the
whites getting to the polls
through tle educational qualifi
cation clause and Concord's
,
'.school attendance was given as
a criterion, in which, too, some'j
one manufactured statistics tljat
had nwer come trojh au
thentic channels to the effect
that 60 per cent, of ou- whij,e
children cannot read and write
and that only ten per cent, of
the negro children are so Ulit
erate. . The Standard took occa
sion then to say that the asser
tion was false but that no statis
tics exist by which to assert or
disprove in$gures what an un
scrjspulous politician &ad made
for temporary ijses.
S6 much for whatf vt&s the bur
den of our 'mind when ?rUjng
the articl$, but wljy does our es-
teemed contemporary fall into
the notion that "GG p'er cent.'oi
of tne State's children are not
allowed to take adTantage (Si
what little educational facilities
we have?" "VY.e do not under
stand thus. In a previous ar
ticle on the subject ? e called at
tention to the splendid array of
young gentlenlen and ladies that
are fiillng our colleges and high
schools as well as a goodly
number of smaller children who
attend private schools, so that
the 34 per cent, who attend the
public schools is very, far below
the percentage of those who are
being educated. Our childrenl
if put in to the graded schools at
an early age usually finish the
course at 14 or 15. Many go off
to higher schools, some to work
and not a few of the fair sex at
least to the matrimonial sphere.
We wish there were statistics to
show just what number volun
tarily or involuntarily do not
avail themselves of our various
school facilities. We are sure it
would bring the number far be
low 66 per cent, and would never
have prompted the cheerless in
terrogation from the Telegram.
CONCORD'S SPONSOR OF SCIENCE.
We .publish elsewhere from
The Concord Standard an edi
torial descriptive of Inventor
Marconi's system of wireless
telegraphy. This invention has
particularly interested the
thoughtful editor of the Stand
ard. It is a relief to read in
North Carolina papers occasion
ally something besides politics,
and.the number of papers that
are interested in something else
besides politics is increasing.
The Observer tries to remember
that scientific people read pa
pers, and, therefore, it rejoices
that it hag a standing appoint
ment as a sponsor of science.
It tries to print things for the
industrial people. North .Caro
lina editors can do far more for
the upbuilding of the State by
working for industries in their
towns than by talking politics
forever. The women and even
the children get newspaper hun
gry . sometimes and they ought
certainly to be thought of in the
making of a newspaper, either
daily or weekly. Politics has its
place, of "course, but it ought
not to be a monopolizing cuck
oo, crowding everything else
out 61 the journalistic nest.
Hence we are pleased to see The
LConcord Standard studying the
improvement in electrical science
and popularizing and? printing
what it learns for the benefit of
its readers. This is educational
and helpful. "Ve hve r'ad The
Standard's article witfi pleasure
atd are fuch obliged to it for
it. Charlotte Observe.

Congressman. Kluttz, who
asked his opponent, John $ Hoi
den, for a joint canvass in this
district, has been -'turned dowq.
Theb. F Kluttz is a fine speaker
and few want to oppose -him on
the stump in a joint canvass. It
seems to us, however, that a man
who would accept the nomina
tion ought to be willing and pre
pared to meet anybody in a joint
canvass who opposed his view.
If troubled with rheumatism, give
Ctamberlain's Pain-Balm a trial. It
will not cost you a cent if it does no
good. no application will relieve the
pain. Tt also cures sprains and bruises
in one-third time required by any other
treatment. Cuts, burns, frostbites,
quinsey, pains in the side and chest,
glandular and . other swellings are
quickly cured by applyingt. Every bot
tle warranted. Price 25c, and 50o. For
sale at Marsh's drug stcra.
The Statesville correspondent
of the 12th to the Charlotte Ob
server says :
"Two Mormon preachers came
to Statesville last Saturday and
had been enjoying whatever hos
pitalities our citkens would ex
tend to them until today, when
it occurred to some of our peo
ple that they had been here long
enough. They were waited on
this morning and advised that
it would bo to their welfare to
depart, never to return, and ad
vise others of their faith not to
come here. They left on the
first train, supposedly for New
ton, as they purchased tickets for
that point."
Thus it is, no one wants to feel
guilty of religious persecution,
but there is a limit to forbear
ance toward those monsters un
der the guise of religion. It
seems that nothing but the fear
of personal chastisement is avail
able as a riddance. There is such
a thing as rightpous wrath.
