THE STANDARD. 1'KIP.VY, July 19, 18S9. TOWN AND COUNTY. "There's a Chiel Avang ye Takin Notes andFa.th He'll Prent Them." Xenrly DrowDfd. A little negro was bathing in Mr. .lav Harris's fish-pond at Springs ville, last Saturday, and while he was showing another little nig how swim got into deep water and sank to the bottom. The other little fellow, when he saw that he didn't come up again, ran to a neighbor's house, several hundred yards distant, for help. Some one went and fished up the little fellow. When, asked what he was doing all the time he was on the bottom he said he was just lying there holding his breath. It didn't seem to hurt him at all. ItrW'k Machine to Move. The new factory at Forest Hill is such an immense affair that all the clay suitable for brick has been used up on the brick yards near the fac tory, and the brick machines will have to be moved. Mr. Chapman's will be moved neir to the depot, just below the junction of the street railway with the Richmond and Panville road, and surveys are being made for a side track connecting with the street railway for the con venience of hauling the brick. Mr. Watson's machine is to be moved to the Means place, a mile above the factory. A Fnfal Accident. Last Sunday evening in No. 4 township, at the house of William Wktterson (col.), a fatal accident oc tiirml, and one that, perhaps, has i;. parallel. Ida Fhifer, a colored irirl. aged six and a-half years, was plaving around an old-fashion feed cutter. The knife was thrown back, with its sharp edge standing up, and the girl fell on it, inflicting a cut half way around the body to such an extent that the intestines fell out. The liver was even cut. Dr. Fitz p raid w as called in, but medical fkill "could do nothing. Death oc curred shortly afterwards. A Piece of Butliie. Xews conies from Wrightsville of a piece of conduct that is very dis creditable to the State Guard. A party of the "soldiers" took posses sion of a car, defied the conductor to collect their fares, and cut the coup ling of the car while the train was crossing the trestle across the sound. They did not stop there,but snatched v,j) ladies' hats and played ball with them. It is a great pleasure to state that none of the Hornets Nest Rifle men were in that gang. Our infor mation comes from one who witnessed the scenes. That crowd ought to be w led out of the State Guard. Charlotte Xews. MOO llicy tint Illlll. Our sheriff and deputy are hard to l.s at. On the --2d of July, Jesse l.:i d.-av iiu-l another negro tried to ii: nler :i vo'.'.ng white man near Trinity Cidlcg--. Lindsay afterwards bought a ticket for Concord. Some one ut the railroad celebration at Ashebom, July 4tli, heard of it and notified Sheriff Propst the following Saturday. Deputy John Propst got out a warrant, and, after looking around, found Jesse near Host's Mills and lodged him in our jail. On Sunday the constable from Trinity came here on the search for his man and found him in jail ready for him, though he didn't know he had been arrested. Kchool Chart. Our excellent State Superinten dent, Major Finger, who guards the people's interest so carefully, is out in a card again defending his posi tion in regard to the use of expensive charts in our public schools. It stems that agents have been canvass ing the State, this county among others, for a chart of thirty-six pages, on nine different subjects, necessarily not much on any one subject, for which is asked the sum of $10. Major Finger takes the ground that even if the charts were good (which he does not admit) the price is too high, as they pass through several hands at a large profit for each, as is the case with all agents who travel over the country with expensive turnouts. It would be much better to spend the money adding to the comfort of the school houses, buying desks, etc. Arrange ments have been made with the pub lishers to supply the books recom mended by the- State Ioard much c heaper than others, and inasmuch as charts cannot be used for any considerable time it is better to i;se books altogether. This excellent advice, of course, does not apply to city schools, that have abundant means to invest in all the modern appliances, but to the majority of our county schools that have no money to invest in "fancy touches" by way of experiment. From our own personal experience we would judge that, such charts as these ate said to be would be of very little use to the public schools of thii county, SFIORT I.OCA1.S. No ball playing now. This week is a hot one. Several cases of typhoid fever reported. Everybody pleased at the crop prospect. Many public schools are in opo ration at this time. Only a few young men in town. They are at Wrightsville. Communion meeting at the Re formed church last Sunday- The Baptist church is being plastered and otherwise fitted up. The young people had a pleasant party at Mrs. Bettie Johnson's on Tuesday night. A visiting young lady regrets right much a report in circulation "she's engaged."

The street railway has secured tho services of a competent and ex perienced eugineer- On the stockholders' excursion last week several parties were put off for " beating their way." We were shown this week some beautiful engraving done by Mr. Loesser. It was excellent work. See the ad. of that excellent in- stitution of learning, the University of North Carolina, at Chapel Hill. Our Register of Deeds, Mr. John K. Patterson, is spending much time in adding. The tax lists are being ''proved." Union services were held in the Lutheran church last Sunday even ing at 6 o'clock by Rev. J. H- Page.

Prof- Satterfield, president of Scotia Seminary, has invented a bedstead which for cheapness and durability is quite an invention. It can be folded up.

The first bale of cotton was sold iu New York last week for 162 cents. It was raised in Georgia- In this country we have just finished brag ging ubout the first blooms.

We heard a wagon drummer say he had sold at one time forty wagons to a mau iu Georgia to haul off his melon crop with. He had four hun dred acres planted.

IL Hill, Jr., and WT. A. Withers, lately elected to chairs in the Agricultural and Me chanical College of this State, are both natives of Mecklenburg county, and both received their diplomas at Davidson College.

E. church here nearly twenty years ago, will regret to hear of her death, which occurred at her home in Reidsville, N. C-, last Sunday morning. All who knew her speak of her as a good Christian lady. Last Sunday nineteen carloads of watermelons passed through on the Richmond and Danville railroad. On Wednesday two hundred cars are reported as having passed through, each car carrying 3,000 melons each. It fceems that the Northern man shows the same weakness as the "coon." We are glad to get any kind of locals these dry times, but we espe cially enjoy tbose that are nicely put up in paper bags. Sheriff Propst and Mr. M. H. Goodman each gave us this week some excellent grapes- These are the first of the season. Mr. Goodman's were of the Hartford variety. -A negro from near Reidsville, N. C, applied for a position in the mail service as route agent- A letter came from Johnny Breechesmaker, the PosmasterGeueral, a few days ago, notifying him of his appoint ment. It found him in the peniten tiary, he having in the meantime got into some mischief. Judging from what the returned Black Boys say, going to the en campment must be liko Lord Ches terfield's experience in fox hunting. After his first hunt with some friends he expressed himself as having en joyed it very much, but was very much surprised when invited to go again. He said he didn't think any one ever went twice. -Capt. Charles McDonald had his fine wheat threshed Wednesday. One field of 5 acres made 34 J bush els to the acre. Another field of 6J acres yielded 19GJ bushels. Can anybody beat that? This was done on land that was cleared in 1780, and was so poor at one time that the corn crop gathered from it was car ried in a hamper basket. The families of Messrs. J. W. Cannon, George Lore and P. B. Fetzer enjoyed a pleasant pic-nic at Bost's Mills, Tuesday of this week, The little folks, of whom there were about twenty, enjoyed hugely wad iug about in the water. Several fell iu, a boat overturned and spilled several, but as it was in shallow wa ter this only added to the fun. Peter UIrmi' Host. Railroad men tell a pretty good thing o'i a hog owned by Peter Glass, Peter lives along the Richmond & Danville line, about 5 miles north of Concord, and he owns a hog that is workingofT its superfluous flesh daily in chasing the watermelon trains. Every time a watermelon train comes along the hog puts out after it, and goes squealing along at his level best gait until the train leaves him out of sight. For all his running, he hasn't had a Avatermelon yet. Peter ought to turn him into some neighboring patch. Charlotte News. The Hoot Crop. There are some farmers in the country who pay special attention to the raising of turnips, a crop that answers mauy wants. The work re quired to raise an abundance of tur nips is less perhaps than that needed in the culture of most other crops, and besides quite a nice table vege table they can be preserved and fed all durinr the winter to stock. Let the farmers try this and see how much corn and roughings can be saved. This is "shade farming," but good so far aa it goes. J. L.
