There is some talk of postpon
ing the great quadri-centennial fair
for 1893, as it is eaid there will not
be time to prepare for it. The time
will be short, but it would never do
to postpone it. If they do, they
would better wait for the next cen
tennial. To have it in 1893 would be
like celebrating Washington's birth
day on the 21st because the 22nd
was on Saturday, as the schools did.

Concord was treated to several
fine sermons last Sunday. Rev- Mr
Page's sermon on the "Christian
Weapon," the Bible, is very highly
spoken of, as was also his sermon at
night. Rev. Mr. Payne's sermon
Sunday morning showing that con
science is not an infalliable guide
was a fine effort. The argument was
direct and conclusive-
H. McNamar lost a half inch of
his finger last week. He was hold
ing the drill for some one, while
drilling into a rock for gold, and
carelessly looked aside and the dar
kie's hammer missed the drill but
didn't miss the finger. Mr. Mc.
wanted some one to cut off the
mashed part, but as no one was will
ing to do it, he coolly took out his
knife and cut it oft himself.
J. M. Kluttz who has been
spending a couple of months visiting
his parents and friends in this coun

so rapidly it takes Lim too long to
make our acquaintance again. J- R.
Kluttz, his cousin, goes with him.
We received Ibis week from B.
E. Palish, one of The Standabd's
subscribers in Washington city, a
copy of the Washington Evening
Star, from which we learn that the
street car Hue with which he is con
nected is to be changed, from a
horse line to a cable line. The ca-
ble by which the whole system will
be run is an inch and a half in diam
eter, of steel wire, is seven miles in
length and weighs 40 tons, and will
be run by a GOO horse power engine.
The Concord Standard says Ca
barrus has the handsomest Court
house in the State. If the editor of

his expenses, comiri' and goin'.

interesting coins, now in the posses

and tbe rim thirteen stars, thirty-
nine in all. On the rim was One Dol

other was a Spanish dollar of 1791
that had been carried ic the pocket
with knife and other things for eignt
years, and was worn quite smooth

Annie was kid up from Friday
to Tuesday. Her attack must have
been quite a serious one. It is said
that she had a bad case of the grip.
Her temperature fell, and she re
mained deathly cold during the at
tack. Uer pulse was gone, and her
breathing could not be heard or dis
tinguished. The disease yielded to
skillful treatment and our streets
are again enlivened by her genial,
rollicking, and somewhat boisterous
presence. We learn trom little Jer

talking in front of Dr. Johnston's

concluded to test the matter
for themselves. They stopped
a little negro, ana persuaded
him to show them what he had in
his pockets. After convincing him
they were in good faith lind not in
search of stelen property, the little

Abont Rev. Campbell's Discourse.
The synopsis of Rev. Campbell's
sermon, being rather long for the
crowded condition of onr columns,
a Standard reporter interviewed
him concerning the sermon preached
in the Lutheran church on Feb.
23rd, on the subject of Hell.
In answer to the question, "I sup
pose yon know that your sermon
ou Hell has occasioned a great deal
of discussion !" Mr. Campbell said,
Yes, and it is very gratifying to me
to see so good a result accomplished.
There is nothing so helpful to a
right understanding of auy subject
as a free interchange of ideas. All
that truth asks is a fair hearing and
a free investigation. The only eue
emies she fears are silence and
darkness. This is as true of Scrip
ture as any other. The Bible chal
lenges investigation of everything
that claims belief. Trove all
things, hold fast that which is
good,' is its motto."
"I suppose you are also aware
that it has been the subject of ad
verse criticism, as well as of favora
ble comment !" "That was expect
ed. No sensible man expects to have
everybody understand him, ' even iu
the plainest and simplest statements,
much less in matters that require
the exercise of thought for their
right comprehension. Neither does
he expect all who understand him
to agree with him. Allowances have
to be made for the effect of previ
ous teaching, for prejudices and bi.
ases of many kinds, and for the time
it takes old ideas to yield to new
truths. The popular idea of hell is
so erroneous that no minister can
expect to preach what the leadeis
of modern Christian thought believe
on that subject without saying a
great many things that are new and
sta:tling to many of his hearers.
The question is not, what is gener
ally believed on any subject, but,
what is the Truth? that is the
question every minister tries to an
swer to himself and his people. But,
so far as my experience goes, my
views on the subject of hell are in
accord with those held bv the
great majority of ministers in
all churches and by all lay
men that have taken the trouble to
inform themselves about it"
"Do the people, generally, believe
in the existence of a hell of fire and
brimstone ?"
"They can hardly be said to have
auy beliefs upon the subject We
have beliefs only on subjects upon
which we have thought and which
we have investigated. On all oth
ers we have merely opinions. I sup
pose there is a Jarge number holding
the opinion you mention, and the
re.i.-on- is ohuou?. The scripture
language descriptive of hell literally
interpreted would prove the exis
tence of such a place beyond the
possibility of a doubt. It is because
of an inability. to see the truth sig
nified uuder the forceful language
of the Bible that they, fail to under
stand the awful significance of hell."
"You hold, then, that there is
something in the hereafter that cor
responds to the figurative language
of the Bible on this subject?"
"Undoubtedly. There is a hell.
God testifies to its existence, not
only in the Bible but ou every paje
of nature. No man who knows
any of the first principles of natur
al law doubts for a moment the
existence of a hell that exceeds the
description as far as heaven sur
passes the pictures given in Reve
lation of it. I do not believe in a
place prepared for the torture of the
wicked or a hell for the satisfaction
of divine vengeance. On the con
trary I believe that every point in
infinite space is hell to a bad man,
just as I believe that the whole uni
verse of God is heaven to the man
who loves him. What a man sows
he reaps. This is natural law, here
and hereafter. If he sows to the
flesh he reaps corruption. If he
sows to the spirit he reaps life ever
lasting. Heaven and hell are as
legitimate consequences as health
and disease."
"Why do people cling so tena
ciously to the popular idea ?"
"It is perfectly natural they
should. They were taught in that
way iu childhood when they could,
understand only in pictured
language, and they have never taken
the trouble to inquire what the pict
ure means, now that they have be
come men."
"Will these views become current
among the people ?"
"Certainly. The progress of
truth is irresistible. In ten years
you will find the people informed
upon all the live questions of the
day. You have seen progress in
your experience, and it is going on
at a rate which rejoices the hearts of
those who love their fellow men and
wish to see them free. The great
Saviour of men says: "Ye shall
know the Truth and an 1 the Truth
shall make you free." It is for
those who see tbe truth to be patient
and forbearing, to exercise toleration
even to the' intolerant, and to let
charity rule in their judgment of
their fellowmen."
Let Them Come.
For two months there has been
amongst us a gentleman, Mr. B. F.
Scott, of Monongahela City, Penn.,
spying out a good plantation and at
the same time with an eye to gold
mining. Mr. Scott is from the
coal and oil regions of Pecnsylvania,
and is a man of means to do what
he undertakes. He has visited sev
eral sections of our county and is
much pleased with both people and
land, and has leased 200 acres of
that most desirable and valuable
tract of land in this county, known
as the Wm. S. Harris land, lying on j
the east side of Rocky River, in
township No. 2, two miles west of
Poplar Tent church. This tract of
land is valuable for tillage and on
it is a rich gold vein, which Mr.
Scott expects to open and develope.
No farm is situated in a better sec
tion of our county, a section settled
by the Scotch-Irish people, who are
intelligent and industrious, and at
tend to their own business. No bet
ter people are to be found in North
Carolina. We welcome such men
as Mr. B. F. Scott among us, and
hope he may realize his expectations
as to a rich gold mine. Hocky
River is a never failing stream, with
water power enough to run a limited
amount of machinery, while there
are other streams near this tract of
land to make it desirable property,
both as a farm and a gold mine.
Cabarrus county, North Carolina is
in one of the richest gold belts of the
State, a vein running under the main
streets of Concord, and now being
profitably worked on both sides of
the street on. the outskirts of town.
The noted Phoenix mine, seven miles
from town has a shaft 400 feet deep
and is paying well. No persons of
intelligence living here doubt that
our land is underlaid with the pre
cious metal. We will be glad to
welcome all such men as Mr. B. JF.
Scott, of Pennsylvania among us.

Take Notice! Last Call.
To the tax pavers of Cabarrus county
who have failed to pay are especially
forewarned that the time is close at hand
when the books will be closed and cost
will be added on every delinquent. I will
advertise in less-time than a month all
persons who have failed to pay their
taxes for the year 1889, and previous
years. The law provides and says the per
sons so advertised shall pay cost. I take
no pleasure in forcing men to pay, but
I have obligations to meet as your Sheriff
and Tax Collector. Come up like brave
men and pay what thou owest, which is
just and due to the county.
