THE STANDARD. PUBLISHED EVERT FRIDAY BY W. D. ANTHONY & J. M. CROSS. TERMS : ONE YEAR, CASH IN ADVANCE, - $1.25 SIX MONTHS, - - - .75, Friday. May 11, 18S8. The railroad meeting at the court bouse, Thursday night, May 3d, was a success, and now whilst the ball is in motion and everything shaped up for a successful ending, will the people of Cabarrus pardon the Standard's zeal when it advocates so very strenuously the voting of the full amount, whatever that may be, to grade the road to the Stanly line. From the tone of the meet ing referred to we think there will be no doubt that this will be the case. For many years Cabarrus has enjoyed the benefits of Stanly's wagonjrade, and the slush and mud of Cabarrus' winter roads has not prevented these people from placing at our service, for cash or barter, the products of their fields, and now our neighboring tewns are anxiously seeking for some way to take from Concord this great feeder to her commercial prosperity. If we put our shoulders now to the wheel, Stanly will aid us to her uttermost, and with the advantage of an al ready granted charter we can have the road in a very short time. "We trust every voter of Cabarrus will weigh the matter well-and come out on the 26th of May fully deter mined to give his vote in favor of the Cabarrus & Staulv Railroad. HIS APOLOGY. Mr. Voorhecs, after a confinement to his room for more than a week, and in view of the painted words uttered by him in the Senate "Great liar and dirty dog, etc., said : 'I desire to say to the Senate that however severe the provocation which was given, yet I made use of langimge at that time contrary to parliamentary uses and to the deco rum of the Senate, I regret having used such language, and tender a proper apology to the Senate of the of the United States for doing so. My high respect for the dignity of body, of which I have been for many years now a member, as well as my self respect, induce me to make this statement." Mr. Voorhecs certainly knows how to brand the characteristic hater of the South and her sons. lie demon strated his ability in this direction, when in the name of truth and jus tice he pictured the wiggling Ingalls in his true sphere and standing in such a manner as to admit of no doubt. In his apology Mr. V. has done himself honor, inasmuch as he had an eye to the Senate, but for Ingalls ho had no balm. This is right. Hereafter let Mr. Voorhees whis per his sentiments in the ear of Ingalls, when such are intended for him. A Standard reporter attended the Guilford Battle Ground Celebra tion on Saturday last Such a throng of North Carolinians is sel dom seen now-a-days. It seemed to a looker on as if the whole State had turned out en masse to render tributes of praise to the memory of the revolutionary heroes of the bat tle of Guilford Court House. In a crowd of between seven and ten thousand it is hardly necessary to say that we were unable to hear much of the speaking, so relying on our more favored Sttae exchanges, whose reporters were present, for a correct synopsis, we refrain from writing up the programme. Suffice it to say we had the pleasure of meeting many old friends and giving them a cordial grip, several of whom our State has justly seen fit to honor with places of trust. We are glad to see that the present generation are keeping alive the fires of patri otism by thus calling to mind ever and anon the courage, independence and indomitable will of the defend ers of liberty in seventy-six. THEY ARE WOItlilXG. That the Republicans are doing their might in this the early stage of the campaign, cannot be doubted. What of that ? Have they not done , it.. - - n -.- . I iue tame in every campaign ltn what result? Their sad looks tell the story. From all over the State comes the advice: "Be careful, go slow, bring up the Hue. lay a good foundation, etc." This is all very good, but the good old farmers, the active business men and all identified with the ma terial interests of the State and tln-ir own welfare are not going to drop their work just now and devote their entire time to the .discussion of political questions. Wait ! When the time comes for substantial work you will see the men of business register their prayers for the con tinuation of good government the keeping in of the Democratic party. GE, W, P. ROBERT FOR AFPITOR. As we are informed, Cabarrus county will be for Gen. W. P. Rob erts for State Auditor in the next Democratic State Convntion. Gen eral Roberts has shown himself to be a most efficient officer. His old sol diers all idolize him for hi3 great bravery and splendid generalship, both of which General R. E. Lee so well appreciated, that in recognition of them lie presented General Rob erts with a magnificent pair of officers gauntlets. Besides this General Roberts is a farmer whom it is due to honor as a farmer. Ever since the war General Roberts has been successfully engaged in farm- mg as ins only business except that aueiiuing 10 me unties of And of ltor. Cabarrus is for TJohm-to aa Mm " vv wo UO bllV farmer candidate for Auditor, At a meeting of citizens of Ca barrus county, held in the court house in Concord, Thursday, May 3d, under an organisation previously made in the interest of the Cabarrus & Stanly Railroad, J. M. Odell be ing chairman and P. B. Fetzer, sec retary, Colonel Paul B. Means was requested by the chairman to state the object of the organization and of the meeting. In response Colo nel Means explained that some weeks previously a meeting had been called at his office in Concord and organized as above to take steps to secure the building of a railroad from Concord via Mt. Pleasant and Albemarle, under a charter granted by the Legislature of . That at the request of that meeting he had written to Major James W. Wil son, who so successfully built the Western North Carolina Railroad, and who is the niosj distinguished civil engineer of our times, and re quested him to visit our county and prospect a route for said road as far as Albemarle. Major Wilson had replied with kind expressions of es teem, offering to come and make the preliminary survey without charge, and upon that invitation did come, and had, with a number of our citi zens, gone over the route and would make a formal report of the ap proximate cost of grading the said road from Concord via Mt. Pleasant to Albemarle. Major Wilson had expressed the ojunion, which would be formally presented in his report, that the grading could be done under the very liberal charter which Colonel Means had secured, for three thousand dollars per mile, and this opinion coming from one so undoubtedly qualified to make a close estimate, placed the enterprise on a basis and it only remains for the counties of Cabarrus and Stanly to go to work earnestly and intelli gently, and the road could be built. The object of this meeting was to hear an expression of the citizens of the county on the subject of the enterprise to formulate a plan of ac tion and to endorse a resolution of thanks to Major Wilson, and tender him a check for one hundred dollars in recognition of the great services he had rendered us. Iu accordance with this Colonel Means offered the following resolutions : L That the people of Cabarrus county return their sincerest thanks to Major .Tames V. Wilson for re cently, and without charge, pros pecting a route from Concord to Albermarle for "the Cabarrus & Stanly Railroad." 2. That we highly appreciate the generous and friendly spirit to us of this great civil engineer and North Carolinian in thus giving us, for two days, the benefit o: his engineering skill and talent which we consider eminent and unsurpassed in his pro fession. 3. That we respectfully offer to Major Wilson and request him to accept one hundred dollars from us, not as any remuneration for his kindly given and valuable services, but simply a3 a small expression of our thanks. t 4. That the secretary of this meet ing send to Major Wilson, at Knox yllle, Tenn., an engrossed copy of these resolutions and a draft of Cannons and Fetzer, on the Central National Bank of Philadelphia, Penn., for one hundred dollars. These resolutions were adopted unanimously. The chairman stated that the meeting was now open for the ex pression of views upon the matter of building the Cabarrus & Stanly Rail road and what steps ought to be taken toward it. Charles McDonald wa3 called and and addressed the meeting upon the importance of public improvements generally and the great importance to our own and Stanly counties es pecially, of this proposed " railroad. He heartily endorsed the movemeut and had advocated it strongly since its first inception some years ago. A. B. Young being called, stated j tliat he had gone over the route with Major Wilson, and was pleased to say that though his previous knowl edge of the country had led him to believe that the project was much more feasible than was generally be lieved, yet he was most agreeably surprised the obstacles in selecting a route so few and so easily over come. He gave it as his opinion that this road could be graded as easily and cheaply as any in this section of the State. This he said would be confirmed by Major Wil son's report. He regarded the cost of the road as a small matter in com parison with the direct benefits our county would reap from it. John P. Allison was called and ex pressed his strong faith in the abil ity and willingness of the people of Cabarrus and Stanly counties to build the road from Concord to Albemarle without assistance from any other railroad or corporation. He favored immediate action and hoped the petitions for caling an election on the proposition to sub scribe $50,000 from this county to its aid, would be speedily presented to our county commissioners. H. S. Puryear being called ad dressed the meeting upon the im portance of railroads as a means of developing the material resources of the country and advancing the intellectual and moral condition of the people. He paid a high tribute to Major Wilson's character as a gentleman, and ability as an en gineer, and assured the meeting that his estimate of the cost of grading the road could be relied upon with confidence. C. G. Montgomery ex pressed confidence in the undertak ing and promised hearty support. D, B, Coltrane, was called and urged the building of the proposed road from a patriotic standpoint and was warmly applauded. A motion that the chairman ap point a committee of one from each township in the county to prepare and get sigEatures to a petition ask ing the county commissioners to call an election at which a proposi tion to vote a subscription of $75,000 to the Cabarrus & Stanly Railroad will be submited to the people wa3 alter discussion withdrawn as premature. A motion that it is the sense of this meeting that an election should be called for the purpose of noting on a proposition to subscribe $75,000 to the Cabarrus & Stanly Railroad at the earliest day possible, was unaniioufdy carried. Following resolutions unamiously adopted : Resolved 1. That a call be issued for a mass meeting to be held in Concord on Saturday the 5Ctb day of May 1888, for the purpose of ad vancing the movement to secure the building of a Raidroad from Con cord via Mt. Pleasant and Albe marle under the Cabarrus and Stanly Railroad Co. Resolved 2d. That all citizens of Stanly county are respectfully invit ed to attend this meeting and coop erate with us in securing the ob ject in view. On motion the chairman appointed P. B. Means, H. S. Puryear and J. W. Cannon a committee to prepare, have printed and circulated posters announcing the mass meeting of May 26th. The secretary was requested to furnish the county papers with copies of the proceedings of this meeting fcr publication in each issue prior to 26th of May of the resolu tion calling a mass meeting on that day, P.

This crop was cultivated very large ly iu some sections of the South the past year with great success. It should when required lor forage, scy either broadcast or thickly in rows about three teet apart, or if desired for the grain, plant a few seed every foot in the row and thin out to three or four stalks, according to the quality of the soil'. When the grain turns white, clip the heads, and other heads wi'l come ; this ensutes 1 he largest yield of grain. It gives the best results by' cutting the first growth for forage when in early bloom, and letting the second growth yield both grain and forage late in fall. If forage only is desired, the seed may be drilled light ly in the furrow. It withstands drought and is particularly adapted to the thin land of the Cotton Belt section. The grain shen greund makes excel lent food for stock, and equal to flour for bread. Price per lb 25 cts ; 5 les. 81.00 For sale at FETZEU'S DRUG STORE. NEW win STORE.
