THE STANDARD. I'BIDAY, - September 13, 1S39- TOWN AND COUNTY. "There's a Chiel Amang ye Takin Notes anDFa1th He'll Prent Thlm." DnlerlKlBnienl. Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Clarke know how to entertain young people. A few evenings since quite a party of invited ladies and gentlemen enjoyed a most delightful entertainment in the parlors and halls of the St Clowd. It is useless to undertake a full "write-up," as it would be difficult to do justice to the pleasant and enjoyable features. No one of the party will Boon forget the captain and his good wife. Naburripllon Books Opened. A meeting of the incorporators of the Stanly and Cabarrus railroad was held last Friday in the office of W. (t. Means, Esq. Books were ordered to be opened to solicit subscription to that road, and the following gen tlemen were appointed commission ers for that purpose : At Albemarle, Mr. Sid Hearne; at Mt. Pleasant, Messrs. II. C. McAllister and W. R. Kindly; at Concord, Messrs. Elam King end George Lore. It is to be hoped that our citizens will do their part to encourage this enterprise. A Chamber or Commerce. Whv wouldn't it be a good idea to have a Chamber of Commerce in Concord ? Concord has by no means attained her full growth yet, and every one is anxious to see the good work go on. United effort is an important factor in developing and imprjving a place, and if our live business men would form a Chamber of Commerce and " put their shoul ders to the wheel," our present boom would be continued indefinitely, and it would, by encourageing a liberal spirit aud unity of action, result in untold good to our town. Young Men. On Saturday, the 21st of this month, beginning at 10 a. m., an examination for the scholarship from this county in the Agricultural and Mechauical College will be held. This county is entitled to free tui tion for only one student. The examination will be on spelling, reading, geography, arithmetic, gram mar and history (North Carolina), aud held by the county superinten dent and two members of the board. Young men, now is your time to try for the advantages of this scholar ship. It is open to any young man over fourteen years of age. A I'umily Reunion. A very pleasant event occurred recently at the residence of Mr. J. M. Query, of Rocky River, who is now in his eightieth year. It was a family reunion, aud took place Au gust 29th. We are sorry not to have mentioned it sooner, but it, among other good things, was crowded out last week. There were present seven children, eighteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, whose names we give below. We wish him many returns of this happy event: Children Mrs. J. L. Suell, Mrs. M. M. Snell, Mrs. M. J. Alexander, Mrs. S. B. Flenicau, A. C. Query, R. W. Query, II. W. Query. Grandchildren J. P. Query, J. Lex. Query, E. J. Query, C. V. Query, S. O. Snell, A. J. Snell, T. H. McLelland, S. P. Alexander, S. W. Flenican, V. I. Alexander, J. F. Query, J. U. Query, R, J. Query, E. W. Snell, J. E. Snell, E. L. Alexan der, A. L. Alexander, J. M. Flenican. Great-grandchildren M. E. Dunn, 0. M. Dunn, W. P. Dunu, A. J. Dunn, N. W. Dunn, C. L. Dunn, E. J. Dunn. They Are Getting Tbere. It is strange how some people can travel all over this big country of ours almost without a cent of money. Somehow they manage to get on the good side of the railroad men and " beat their way " successfully from one place to another. We give an extract frorii a letter from Hiram Coleman and Charles Eagle, who left here some time ago. They are r.ow Mith Mr. Henry Fisher at For est City, Ark., who, they say, has a fine crop. The following was their route from Concord to Arkansas : " We left Concord on a freight train; went to Charlotte and stopped about an hour, and caught a freight trnin and went to Gastonia, where we stayed all night ; next morning cot breakfast and caught another freight and held it down to Central, Bouth Carolina ; stayed in box car and went clear through to Atlanta, Oa. ; walked forty miles from Atlanta to a little town called Austell, where we stayed all night, and next morn ing got breakfast and caught train aud went to Montgomery, way down in Alabama, and Bpent some time in looking at the place, and left there and went to Meridan, Miss., and then left there and went up the river to Memphis, and stayed there some time, and then got aboard a Btearaer and Bet sail for Little Rock, and landed safe on the Arkannas side of the river, and then caught a train and lauded in Forest City about 9 o'clock Friday morning. We found out where Mr. Fisher lived and went to see him" SHORT LOCALS. The Fair Association met Satur day. Davidson College opened yes terday. The court house yard has been mowed. The Robinson circus is a-coming, they say. See the big fair ad an3 get your exhibits roady. The Town Commissioners met Tuesday night. Another brutal Whitechapel murder has been discovered, Wake Forest opened with one hundred and eighty students. Dr. Lafferty's letter to the far mers will be read with interest. Mr. Wiley Trout man's infant child died Thursday of last week, Some quo has promised us a good local next week "if he comes." Read tho Alliance resolutions, and be sure to attend the meeting called for. See new business locals of Mi senhimer & Morrison, land to rent, Colemans ads. The election in Rowan Tuesday resulted in a large majority in favor of the railroad. Several Cabarrus horses are be ing trained every day lor racing at the coming fair. Prof. E. A. Alderman passed through Monday, on his way to hold the Stanly Institute. The young people had a pleas ant moonlight picnic at the fair grounds Wednesday night. About five hundred chickens were sold here on Tuesday and Wednesday. Not an egg in town- Tho Charlotte News says that Burks's celebrated horse show will be in Charlotte again next Tuesday. "Jumbo," the big fat man, who weighs 619 pounds, is to be here during the Fair. He is a show him self. Sheriff Propst knows how to handle a mowing scythe. We saw him try it this week in the court house lot. --Dr. Ruby, a distinguished di vine of the Methodist church, is now dangerously ill at his home - in Greensboro. Some of our good citizens spent Tuesday night on a fox hunt. We presume the foxes enjoyed it too, as none were hurt. At the hour of going to press nothing definite has been heard as to the result of the railroad elec tion in Mt. Pleasant. The County Alliance offers some good premiums, as you will see by reading Dr. Lafferty's letter. They are good, solid premiums. Mr. N. F. Yorke has moved into the Allison house, lately occupied by Mr. W. G. Bosbammer, haviug recently bought that house. Mr. Roger's mill and gin house, that were burned several! months ago, are to bo rebuilt, and will soon be ready for work. You can't down an energetic man. The catamount ha& been heard several times lately in Poplar Tent They say its squall is awful. Some of those good 'possum hunters ought to try for him. There will be services to-night (Friday) at the Baptist church at 8 o'clock. The sermon will be preached by Rev. Dr. John Mitchell, of Wake Forest. All are invited to attend. -Mr. W. M. Eudy, Mt. Pleasant, N. C-, wants two young men to do farm work. There is no need of a young man of good habits going away from home to look for work- Mr. Ed Plaster bad a bunch of rice at the Alliance picnic at Petrca's school-house last week. He has a small patch of it, and it seema to do well. He will have to thresh it by hand. The fair grounds are being fixed up nicely, and will be made as at tractive as possible; The fence and buildings are receiving a good white washing, and the track will be pnt in fine condition. The Staxdakd retains thanks to Mr. T. P. Thomason, Zeb, Rowan county, for apear of the Duchess va riety. It was one and one-half times as large as a base-ball, and the best pear we ever ate. Little Ira, son of Mr. Robert A. Gourly, of Flowo's Store, died last Sunday week. He was six years old and a bright little boy, as we learn from a letter received last week too late for publication. In excavating for the street rail way in front of the court-house a nice, smooth rock pavement was found about a foot below the present surface. It was at one time in front of tho old Kluttz house. The little folks enliven our streets at night as they parade with their home-made variegated lan terns, made of pasteboard boxes with holes cut in them and colored paper pasted over the holes.- We congratulate the Salisbury Herald on its improved appearance, enlargement, etc. It has bought a new press and is now a thirtytwo column paper. It is au enterprising paper and deserves success. Miss Lizzie Alexander, of Macks lenburg county, who tried to corns mit suicide recently and was placed in the Morganton asylura, lias re covered and returned to her home, as we learn from the Chronicle. Two men were taken from the jail at Morganton, N. C.Wednesday, by a crowd of about one hundred and fifty masked men, and hanged upon a railroad bridge. The jailor was overpowered. Frank Stack, white, was the ono who shot Robert Parker, at Conover, from ambush. Dave Boone, colored, killed Eli Haider, a white man, at a colored camp meeting some time ago We learn from our BoBt's Mills corresponded that Messrs. M. A. and W J. Boger have entered North Carolina College, au I that Rev. Mr. Pae, of this place, is preaching at Cc ntro grove this week. Tickets for Confedeiute vcleraua will be on sale for the "Soldiers Day," October 2nd, at Esq. J. F. Willeford's, who is secretary of the association. Any information that may be desired may be obtained from him. Dr. H. B. Battle, Capt. S- B. Alexander, Hon. Kemp P. Battle will address the farmers during tho fair. Other speakers have been in vited who will doudtless be present. Arrangements for holding the fair have been about completed. Some one was up before the mayor Saturday and fined the usual five -thirty-five for cursing on the streets- Some ore owed him ten cents, and when he did not pay him he took five-thirtysfive of tho debt out in cursing. Both were white. A Mr. Williams, of Mississippi, is here advertising for five hundred negroes to carry to his Stale. If such people would take all in the State it might perhaps be a good thing, but to take just enouge to inconvenience our farmers will do us harm and no good. The editor of the Salisbury Herald said last week, in his edito rial on the new dress and increased size, that it was " his intention to bring his paper up to ' The Stan dardV Thanks, brother Whichard. It is true the name was not in caps : of course we know what you mean Mr. Dick White had a horse that was badly stung by yellow jackets last Sunday while in the pasture. It was feared at first that he would lose it. By the way, Mr. McKee Morrison says that turpentine, ap plied at once in a case of this kind, will relieve the suffering animal al most immediately. After a pleasant ride from Springsville on the Beattie's Ford road, by Messrs. D- G. Holdbrooks's, Burton Furr's, Noah Blackwelder's and other good farms, we give it as our candid opinion that the crops are fine. The cotton is well filled and maturing fast. The corn is heavy and looking well. The harvest moon of the early part of the week was beautiful. It amounted to about three full moons, as it rose only about thirty minutes later for several consecutive days Its name comes from the fact that it generally comes during the har vest iu England aud enables the harvesters to work longer. Our Town Commissioners ought to see to it that our streets are put into good condition at once. Cotton and winter wood will be coming in soon, and in their present condition it would bo impossible to haul big loads if there should be bad weather, and, too, the Fair is only three weeks off. Let them be fixed at once- Hurrah for No. 2 1 Though Esq. John H. Morrison lives in No. 2 his bale of new cotton last Saturday was No. 1." He brought it in early in the morning and sold it to Cannons & Fetzer for eleven cents a pound. Esq. M. A. Ludwig was not much behind, bringing in his first bale Tuesday morniug. It was also sold to Cannons & Fetzer at ten cents per pound. We are sorry that we neglected last week to mention the laying of the corner stone of the bag factory, which took place Saturday, August 31, in the evening. The ceremony was an impressive one, and was wit nessed by a large number. The singing by the Forest Hill choir was excellent, and tho remarks of Rev. Mr. Hoyle were timely and ap propriate. Dr. R. S. Young sent in his resig nation as captain of the Cabarrus Black Boys last week and it was ac cepted. Capt. Young has endeared himself to the company by his devo tion to its interest and the faithful discharge of the onerous duties con nected with that position. A suc cessor will be elected at the next regular meeting of the company, which is for the time being under the command of the First Licutens ant, Dr. L. M. Archey. Cnbnrrnn In MltMonri. A wedding card, received a few days since, announces the marriage in Hume, Mo., of a Cabarrus lady, Miss Cora Scott, to Mr. Richard A. Nelgner, on Tuesday evening, Sep tember 17th. Miss Scott '.a the daughter of Mr. W. Rufus Scott, who, with his family, several years ago moved from Mt. Pleasant, this county, to Hume, Mo. Time makes wonderful changes, for when Miss Cora left here a few years ago she was a mere child. We wish her all the peace and happiness she so richly deserves. Reduced Rates lor Veleraun. At a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Fair Association, held on September 7th, 1889, the following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That the Cabarrus County Agricultural and Mechanical Fair Association admit all members of the Veteran Association and their families, to consist of wife and chil dren under eighteen years of age, unmarried, the Fair being the 2d day of October, at half rates, and chil- dren of veterans under fifteen and over eight years of age for ten cents each. This shows a commendable spirit on the part of the association. We cannot pension our soldiers as they should be, and such privileges as the above, besides helping a little, shows that these brave men are honored by our people. Looking at it from a pecuniary stand-point it will redound to the interest oi tne iair. People Ton Know. Miss Mary Duscnbery is still quite sick. Miss Gertrude Smith is visiting in Salisbury. Dr. W.

Mr. Caleb Pitts is in Newton, and, as we learn from the Newton Enter prise, is assisting in the preparations for the Newton Fair. Mr. Albert Gillon left for David son College last Tuesday, where he will be in the junior class. We hope he will retain his health this time. Mr. Samuel L. Greely, of Biles ville, (who, by the way, is a nephew of Horace Greely's,) was here with his two children several days last week. Miss Fannie Fisher left for Balti more Monday. She will be there several weeks and will take lessons in millinery. We wish her a pleas ant and profitable stay. Williamson Morris and Jimie Hurley left by private conveyance for Davidson College Wednesday. We wish them a pleasant and profit able session.

Quite a number left Monday for the Maryland Exposition and the northern markets. Among them were Mr. J. P. Gibson, Mr. R. E, Gibson and daughter, Emily, Mr. D. II. Hoover, Mrs. B. F. Rogers, Miss Fannie Fisher, Miss Mollie Bracken, Miss Nannie Alexander and Mr. J. A. Sims. The Alliance IMc-Mc. We enjoyed very much a trip to the country last Friday, where we attended the Alliance pic-nic at Petrea's school-house, near the coal chute. Dr. Parker, of Trinity Col lege, was to be the orator of the day, but for some reason did not come. It was quite a disappointment to the large and intelligent audience that had assembled to hear him. In his absence, Capt. Charles McDonald was called upon, and with charac teristic devotion to duty responded promptly and well to the call. His speech was 6hort and to the point, In spite of the rain, his hearers listened attentively, and were enter tained. After his speech the crowd repaired to the table," where was spread au elegant and bountiful dinner, which every one enjoyed. After dinner, the crowd reassembled at the stand and were entertained for an hour by Mr. Jesse II. Earn hardt, whose speech showed a careful study of the grand principles and purposes of the Alliance. His re marks to the ladies advising them to leave off some of the prevailing injurious fashions were especially enjoyed, except, perhaps, by the ladies themselves. It was a pleasant occa sion, and was enjoyed by all in spite of the rain and the absence of the expected speaker. The Veterans. The following should have ap peared in our report of the veterans' reunion last week, but was unavoid ably crowded out : The following resolution was of fered by Col. Paul Means and unaui monsly adopted : Resolved, That at the earliest day possible there shall be a meeting held by all the survivors of each company of soldiers who entered the Confederate armies from Cabar rus county, and that at such meeting each of said companies shall elect for itself a recording secretary whose duty it 6hall be to purchase or pro cure a book suitable for the purpose, and in this book to record an exact roster of the company lie repre sents, with the date of enlistment of each member of such company and the actual casualties of the company with date and place of same ; and that every member of such company shall, at the earliest moment possi ble, hand to his company secretary a truthful written statement of his own history during the war and that of such other members of his com pany as he knows, especially that of his dead company comrades. And when, for any causp, any soldier cannot furnish this history in writ ing, he shall give it verbally to his companv secretary, Iwhose sacred duty it shall be to record the same in his company book correctly and faithfully, that thus an accurate and true history of the Confederate boI diers of Cabarrus and the acts in which they participated may be pre served. And that all Confederate soldiers, now resident in Cabarrus, who enlisted in the Confederate ser vice otnerwise than in companies from this county, shall, at the ear liest day possible, meet either as parts of companies or otherwise and elect a recording secretary for like purpose, and whose duties shall be the same as heretofore provided for secretaries of Confederate compa nies from Cabarrus And when such books shall be perfected they shall be delivered to and deposited with the secretary of this association for safe keeping and preservation in such manner as this association shall hereafter provide. That part of the above resolntion in regard to Confederate soldiers who enlisted in the service otherwise than in companies from Cabarrus was offered by Mr. A. B. Young as an amendment to the original resolution and accepted by Col. Means. CORRESPONDENCE. A Letter to tne Farmers of Cbarrn. Messrs. Editors : You will please allow me the use of a small portion of your paper in order that I may say a few words to the farmers of our county. My great object is to get our farmers to begin to think for themselves. You have been running in the same old rut long enough, allowing somebody else to think for you, and you work hard all the year and at the end come out behind. It is time for you to stop and consider what J is the cause and is there a remedy. Don't you know that, of all people on the face of the earth, you are the most oppressed . hy do you sleep on and never raise your head to get out of this terrible bondage r iou are bound to nearly every other class, when every other clas3 should be bound to you. When yon have any thing to sell it is, " What can I get ?' when you have to buy it is, " What do you ask r Now, my friends, the Farmers' Alliance has come to your relief ; it has come to free you of the yoke of oppression which you have been wearing so long, and yet you will stand oft and say, " 1 will wait and see, or, in other words, " 1 love to be oppressed ; I have been wearing the yoke so long I would not feel right without it, so I will remain as I am. I am afraid of those new things ; I will see what it is going to do before I join." Now is the time. The Alli ance has come to help you, and now is the time to get that help. We come to improve you mentally, morally, socially and financially. Will you avail yourself of this golden opportunity or will you still wait ? There is no chance for you to lose anything and there is a chance for you to gain freedom from oppres sion, to gain the victory over all trusts and combines who, vampire like, are sucking your very life's blood. Awake, awake, and see yonr condition, and be ye free. There are those who say they have belonged to the Alliance for one year or more and have not received a draw yet. I answer them by saying if you put up two bales of cotton last year what you saved by the Alliance tight with the jute bagging trust has paid all the expenses of the Alliance. If you bought twenty bushels of corn this year have saved you more than the Alliance has cost you. Now the question comes, are yon going to use the jute bagging this year ? Suppose you can get the jute for five cents per yard and the cotton bagging costs you eleven cents or even twelve cents; Alliance men, which will you use? Farmers, whether Alliance men or not, which will you use? If the jute trust company had their way, they would make you pay fifteen cents per yard for every yard you would use. This is the heat of the battle, and you must stand fast even if you pay three times as much for cotton bagging as for jute, for if they whip us here we are gone. In using the jute you send out of the Southern States about $9,000,000 annually. If you use the cotton, it will give you a good market for the low grade of cotton, it will keep the $9,000,000 in the South, and it will give employment to many idle hands. But I hear some one say, that is all so, but the jute weighs so much more and we cret it all back in the price of cotton. Not a word of it. If you put sack I ing and ties enough on a bale of cotton to weigh more than six per cent, of the whole weight of the cotton, then you get pay for the amount over the six per cent, of the weight For instance, if jou have a bale of cotton weighing 500 pounds they deduct thirty pounds from that for bagging and ties, so if the bagging aud ties weigh thirty-five pounds then you would get paid for five pounds at the price of the cotton. But did you ever see sacking and ties weigh even thirty pounds ? So you wrap your cotton up and get nothing for it, but you lose the difference between the weight of the bagging and ties and the six per cent, of the weight of the whole bale. Now arrangments are being made bo that those who use the cotton sacking will not lose this difference. Farmers, by all means use the cotton bagging even at three times the cost. The cotton seed oil men formed trusts so that they could get the cotton seed at their own price from the farmer, but at the last meeting of the Farmers' County Alliance a resolution was adopted which is as follows : That we will not sell cotton seed to agents or speculators for less than twenty-nve cents per bushel, and that we will so control all the seed raised on our land that the oil men will have to pay twenty-five cents per bushel for them. Ihis resolution means something. You must stand square to it and you will be the gainer. These little things, all taken together, make np a con siderable sum after awhile. Another small matter: the cotton buyers of this county charge you ten cents for weighing cotton when the law expressly says five cents shall be the charge. They say five for weighing and five for inspecting. Why do you pay a man to stand there and keep yon from oheating the poor cotton buyer:' If the buyer cannot trust the farmer let him put a watch there and pay him. It is a small matter, but in the aggregate it is a large thing. Are you going to sub mit to it ? Stand up for your rights, and demand them. Now we wish to make you think for yourselves, watch for yourselves. We want to see you take a great interest in your farms, and to this end the following resolutions were adopted at the last meeting of the County Alliance : Whereas the aim of the Alliance is to promote agriculture : Resolved, That we offer a special premium of $5 for the best bale of cotton, $2.50 for the best bushel of wheat, $2.50 for the best bushel of corn, and a fine thorough bred Merino buck for the best bushel of peas, to be exhibited at the next County Fair in October by any member of the Alliance. All should try for these premi umus. It will make you take more interest in your farm, and make you better farmers. I hope the day is not far distant when every farmer in our land will belong to the Alliance, and join the great army who are marching on to victory. Come at once : we will be glad to welcome you in, and help you on the road to freedom and prosperity. J. S. Lafferty. Albemarle Items. A nuisance the negro and the brass band.
