TO THE PUBLIC!
As eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,
so is continued vigilance, honest, fair and
upright dealing necessary to success in bus
iness. Having from the outset (18 years
ago), appreciated these facts, and acted up
on them, we find ourselves to-day rewarded
'.rtr the countless anxieties, vexations, and
he loss of hours of rest by seeing our long
cherished hopes realized, of making Char-

The Carolina military Institute. This
school closed Its first Academic year, June
28. 1874.
The Annual Military Encampment and
visit to one of the Springs of the Carollnas
dispensed with this year, but is one of tiie
features of trie Institute', and. will be thor
oughly carried out next year.
- The Carolina Military Institute opened on
the 1st of October last, and has bad one hun
dred and three cadets on Its rolls ; of whom
two thirds were boarders, and from abroad.
This is unusual success for the first year of
an educational enterprise
The cadet are from Virginia, North Caro
llnftr8onUi Carolina, Georgia, Florida and
Cuba. "i ';.
In the Collegiate Department, the cadets
are from 18 to 22 years of age. The discipline
has been preserved at a very sllgfc t cost, about
four only having been expelled for miscon
duct. ( , ;i
In addition to the usual scholastic and Mil
itary exercises, the analysis of the Bible and
Shakespeare, has received special attention
and the cadets have been subjected to all the
religious influences, such as a layman can
command.
The effort has been to bring to the atten
tion of the cadets, all the great truths of the
Bible, and all the more prominent lessons to
be deduced from the Old and New Testament.
With what success this has been done, it is
for the public to Judge from the tone and
bearing ofthe cadets.
, The cadets went bonxe alaatjst to a man,
expecting all to return. ; In addition to this,
the Superintendent Is in receipt of numerous
applications for circulars, from several of the
Southern States, as far as Louisiana and Ar
kansas. There is every reason to conclude
that the Institute will reopen on the lst Oc
tober next, with over one hundred resident
cadets., 1 ' ' '
TFe are Informed that Col Thomas Intends
to Visit portions of both Js orth . and SoutK.
Carolina, In ,the ; interest, of ,- his a enter
prise, and expects to take the field- in July
August and September.
H He believes that he has a good thing, the
merchandise of which is better than gold or
silver, and he proposesto put it before: the
public " - -
His philosophy is that If the Institute be a
good thing, it will prevail, and if a bad thing.
It will not and ought not to prevaiL . '

-We call the attention of the authorities

Shooting on the Street. Last night .ust
at 11 o'clock, the report of a pistol was heard
on Trade street, about the lower end of the
Cen.traJ Hotel. In a moment the police and
a number of citizens arrived on the spot and
learned from two couples of negro men and
women, that a negro named John Red had
done the shooting and that he bad fied.
The negroes were frightened so nearly out
of their wits that very litte rational conver
sation could be gotten from them, but from
another party -who was near by, it was
learned that the couples mentioned and
John Red were walking up the streets when
John remarked. "Well, I'll shoot yo u, then,"
or something of the sort, and suddenly the
pistol was discharged.
Henry Taylor, who was with one of the
women, said afterwards that he had been
sho i at and narrowly missed. Some other
one said it was at the woman with whom
Henry was walking that the shot was di
ected, this opinion growing out of the fact
that the shootist is a "rejected suitor" for
the woman's hand.
However nobody was hurt by- the
shot. The police gave chase to the
offender but he managed to elude
them. Asheiswell known he will
no doubt, be easily captured.
A Courtesy Extended. i We learn that
Capt. R. D. Graham, our esteemed towns
man, extended recently to the Carolina Mil
itary Institute an invitation, on very gene
rous terms, to visit Beaufort and enjoy the
advantages of the Atlantic Hotel.
Whist it was not found pract icable to car
ry the Cadets this year, the cour tesy of Capt
Graham is high appreciated. We are au
thorized to add that Col. Thomas desires to
make public acknowledgment of Capt. Gra
ham's consideration for the Institute of
which he is Superintendent.
Thanks are also deemed due to Col. Bu
ford for the offer of reduced fare on the rail
road from this city to Goldsbpro, which, lib
eral offer was made through "Mr. R.' Y. Mc
Aden, who had interested ' himself in the
matter.
Marriages in June. The past month

.Leg Crushed by a Threshing Machine,
tWe regret to learn that, on Tuesday ? af
ternoon the ;t second son of Mr C E 'Bell,
who lives about 7 miles from ; this city, v got
his right leg entangled in. a threshing ma
chine, at his father's place, and iiad it so
much crushed that.it was found necessary
to amputate it. This operation .'was perform
ed by Dr RH Gibbon, of Charlotte,' and -j. Dr
Strong of thecounty, .and the patient was,
at,l last''" accounts, resting;
tolerably easy The youth's age is about 18
years. He had r just returned home from
school. He is described to us as a boy of fine
promise, and the accident which he -lias
sustained is a sonrw of sincere regret.
. The Concert oa Tuesday i Night. We
now, proceed to notice the Musical Rehear-
sal which -took place on Tuesday evening at
the Charlotte Institute for Young Ladies,
.under the direction of Prof. Robt. S., Phifer
Musical Di rector of the Institute; .'.Union
tunately the evening was very inclement,.
Bain began1 falling sometime before, sun
down and continued steadily until after the
Concert began ; but notwithstanding this a
large crowd occupied the chapeTT carriages
and omnibuses having been called into re
quisition for the purpose of carrying the
elite of he city,thither. ..When the evening's
exercises began, a crowd, large in numbers,
thoroughly appreciative, 'arid in. , which
shone many a fair, sweet face jand graceful
' jformt was there to listen Vo ana Cajce part in
tibeVperfonnln
' The chapel hadbeerl beautifully 'decorate
ed with flowers and evergreens, and 'vreaths
and festoons .hung gracefully from the stage,
adding beauty to the scene formed, by the
presence of the pupils, the whole making a
charming picture. - ,-
Such delay had been caused the pupils
and audience by the rain that it' was after 9
o'clock when the Concert began. Even if
it were necessary to pur purpose here, ' we
have- not the space for the entire pro
gramme, which had been arranged with
care and taste by Prof. Phifer ; but it is
proper to say that,' "both vocal and instru
mental, it was full and recherche ; for 'the
ample professional experience of Prof. Phi
fer directed him to a" selection from among
the best masters and models.
It is a difficult and delicate thing to make
discriminations when all was good, much
very excellent. Admiring and appreciating
all the performances, we ask to be pardoned
if we refer specially to a few of them, which
seemed to us particularly excellent : "Mili
tary March," by Schubert, was rendered
charmingly by Misses M. Morehead, A.
Young, M. Phffer, A. Guion, A. Vogel and
Prof. Phifer. The composition is a beauti
ful one, and it was rendered with an expres
sion which would have been creditable to
older performers than the young ladies men
tioned. The duettino, "La ci darem" from
Mozart, was sung delightfully by Misses . B.
Griffith and Minnie Phifer, and drew wil
ling applause from an admiring auditory.
Miss Eva Bryce deserves honorable men
tion for her rendition of "Robert Le Dia
ble," as does also Miss Maggie Morehead
for-her performance of "Berceuse." The
last named young lady was enthusiastically
encored, and blushingly came upon the
stage a second time before her listeners
would be satisfied, "Coronation March,"
played by Misses Deey, J. Davidson,, C
Phifer and S. Yates was received with great"
favor, if the demonstrations offered by the
crowd be any evidence. J
If, in that part'Sf this notice where we un
dertake to particinaiize, we are guilty of-errors
either of omission or commission," we
must ask the young t ladies and' their in
structor to pardon us on the ground of our
lackofanv scientific knowledge of the "di
vine art." ,Wt are safe, however, in speak
fiig in complimentary terms of the ryocal
powers of Miss Bl Griffith, and in singling
her out from the remainder of the pupils.
Her voice is one of , strength and softness,
and if kept under proper training willj be
fore she is much older, place her prominenU
ly among those of Charlotte's and North
Carolina's daughters who are noted in song.
After hearing this concert (if indeed we
had needed to have heard it to be convinced
of the fact) we were impressed with the
knowledge that no school in the State sur
passes this in the advantages of acquiring a
thorough musical education, while in other
respects it is quite equal to any.
A few words as to Professor Phifer. Of
his musical gifts and fidelity to his pupils,
it is needless to speak to the people of Char
lotte. His talents and efficiency are well
known to them, but "to the outside public
we say that he has but few equals in the
State in his art, and blends" all the
qualities necessary to make a competent in
structor in music a thorough understand
ing of it, patience and perception to see the
disposition and meutai quality or eacn pu
Dil. The Institute for Young Ladies is for
tunate in having his services, an.d the. par
ents of the pupils are fortunate in haying
their children under his instruction.
Very much more could we say on the
subject of this Concert, the beauty and the
grace of the young ladies (three or four in
particular), but lest the, public think we
are trying to curry favor, we will say noth
ing on this last mentioned subject, but close
this very imperfect notice by expressing our
delight at the exercises' and saying that they
were creaiiaDie to leacner, pupus uuu an
concerned. '
The Injured Men. A brief paragraph in
yesterday's Obseeveb stated that two men
from Davidson College had their legs bro:
ken bv a runaway on Tuesday.- xhe Jan-
guage employed may have been such- asto
leave the impression on some minds : that
they were Davidson College students, but
such is not the case. They are men who
live in that n eighborhood, but up ; to this
time we have found it impossible to learn
the name of but one, a Mr Johnston,
who had a thigh broken, and was .ihereby
very seriously fajuTed.yThejDtheii jnfn had
both ot his knees contused, and. is not v so
badly hurt. Dr T J Moore, of this city, ad
ministered medical attention to the men,
ad had them sent on home. We regret
our inability to learn fuller particulars, but
no one seemed to know anything about the
accident. :'

The Democratic nominees for Judge and
Solicitor addressed about one hundred Dem
ocrats at Holmesley's Factory on Thursday,
June 26th. Messrs; Carson and Lee, Inde
pendent candidates for Solicitor, declared
themselves. There had been considerable
defection in this section,1 but after thefspeak-
ing it nearly ali disappeared. r We do not'
think the nominees will lose . more than
twenty votes in this section of the county.
I iearn from reliable sources that on Friday
at Poor's, Ford, there were about- one hun
dred voters present ; about seventy-five were
Democrats, and there was not a single bol
ter left after the speaking. They " spoke at
four other places frf the county with the
same success. You- may be assured that
there is no material disaffection in Ruther
ford county. Seventy five votes will cover
it all. , Consebvative.

The Disease of Civilization.
Dr Warren, author of the "Household
Physician," tells us that dyspepsia is a dis
ease of civilization that savages ' know
nothiner ot it. We, do not believe the; lat?
ter statement. Savages sometimes gorge
themselves until . they can" scarcely ; move ;
and as they are human beings, and not an
acondas j they must necessarily Buffer the
pangd 1 of indigestion. Undoubtedly, how
ever, in consequence of their luxurious hab
its, the civilized and. enlightened portion of
mankind are mosi suoject - iu uyspepsia.
This being the case, what are the civilized
and enlightened dyspeptics going to do
about it? What a large proportion of them
are doing about it now is simply this : they
arfe taking Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as a
remedy with unvarying and complete suc
cess. From all Darts ol the United States.
from all. theSpanish republics, from ,the
West Indies, trom various pansoi .Europe,
and from the antipodes, Australasia, evi
dences of its unrivalled properties as a
specific for casual and chronic indigestion is
continually being received. ' The result is
that the consumption of the great tonip and
alterative is rapidiyi increasing throughout
t he civilized world. The nations, hear and
remote, as well as ourtown poople, have' dis
covered that as a preventive and remedy
for diseases Of the -digestive organs, and ad
ailments of the liver,; bowels, nerves ; and,
general svstem. which aresgenerateaor ag
