Hiico Trouble III Sitnlii Carolina. Mf.w Yokk, June 20. A special to t h Sun from Columbia, S. C, says tliere is trouble between the races near Bamberg,Barnwell county. On Saturday some negroes went fish ing in a boat owned by a while, man, after they had liee:i ordered not to use it. When the negroes returned they were set upon by the whites and beaten. In th. tight a white man was severely injured. On Tues- dav night Hubert Kearseand a num ber of friends went to the bouse of the negro v. ho appeared to be the loader ot the part v. the negroes ere in ambush mar the house, and tired on the whites, wounding eight of them, none dangerously, however. The negroes then lied. !t is feared tlure will be more trouble oyer the matter. A SliiniM fnl Allulr. Newton was the starting point of a very disgraceful elopement last Saturday morning. The wife of Mr. Lee Signuin, a well to-doing white man on darks creek, between New ton and Hickory, and Noah Bobin son, a black negro, took the Narrow linage train together for Atlanta, and are now skulking around some where in Ceorgiu. The woman had about sC." in money and traded some notes to the bank for all of which hal hen stolen from her hus band, and the negro, we learn, had obtained about s.'iO by mortgaging a horse. So they bad between them about i?l."iO. The woman left four small children and the nejro also left a wife and several children. They wore seen in Atlanta Sunday. They w ill in all probability be caught and brought back to Newton in a a short time. Newton Enterprise. Killril Ills FririMt A Wninnii in l!ie Four Smith. Ark., June 'M.

About four o'clock Sunday eve nitiL'. a verv dark and anyrv cloud hung over the northern part of this county. The wind blew very hard in town, but little rain fell. Near Mill Hill the wind was severe enough to blow uown trees, fences and such other things as were not securely fastened. It rained about twenty minutes but no hail fell. Near A. F. riilemun's in addition to the wind and heavy rain, one of the severest hail storms known fell. The stones were so large and fell with such force that the corn and cotton were completely stripped of blades and limbs. The path of the hail storm varied from a fourth to a full mile in width; the length, is not known. .

C1IA B LOTTE FINANCES. .li-rtMno Dowil anU the Alilrrmoii llnv an IiitPrtii'w. The Mecklenburg Times, the or gan of the Farmers' Alliance in Mecklenburg county and a good pa per, too, ha3 been pecking at one spot in Charlotte's financial body un til the spot is sore and full of proud flesh. The city some time ago voted to issue 75,000 worth of bonds, for the purpose of street improvements, etc. The Times, from several arti cles, seemed opposed to the issue of bonds, but it was done. Then the paper wanted to see an exhibit of the city's finances; this did not come. The editor of the Times delegated a man to look into the books if they could be reached; but in tins he failed. So the Times man, partly on account of journalistic enterprise, on imagination or a desire to- pro voke an exhibit of the city's iinances from the authorities, or from other reasons sotisfactory to the editor's mind, published this statement as the result of his researches: Proceeds from bonds expenses. Tw o lots S 0.H00 Set ap rt for palace for lounging police men 30,010 Opening up McDow ell street. 0,900 For opening street through G e o r g e property reeen'ly purchased by the Mayor r,J00 Contingeiiees svbout which an impertis iH-jit public has 110 business to enquire 10,900 For front St. work. . 1,997 rn.ooo Total expenses 874,997 Balance on hand tor Luther au Seminary and improve ment of back streets $2.75 The above was claimed as the true exhibit of the finances 21 hours af ter the bonds wa re sold. A communication also appeared in the Times reflecting considerably upon the honor and integrity of a part of the city's ahWincn. This "got up the dutch" of two members of the board. They interviewed Mr. Dowd, who, in answer to a number of fjuestions. said he proposed to sift the matter thoroughly and nothing but a bullet would stop the sifting. The two gentlemen made two de mands of Mr. Dowd: To tell the name of the writer of the communi cation and to nuke an apology. Mr. Dowd said he wrote the articles and that he would give the name of the writer of the communication if the writer would consent, and that he had no apology to make. Mr. Dowd's purposes are doubt less good, but his imagination when dealing with the city's finances is pretty lively. If he has done an in jury and a w rong, we know that he will make an apology; he did right in not giving the writers name (but these anonymous communications 11 iv sometimes "stabs in the dark" and not always the proper thing to do.) Our town fathers promptly published to us all an exhibit of Con cord's finances. Cop:tI t.i-ovp Hem. Hot weather prevails. Corn is small but laying by lime is here. Cotton is growing rapidly. But few persons at the springs; we think it a good time to visit the springs, the w eather is hot enough and the hotel is not croweled and plenty of young chickens in the com munity. - Jake struck us a jar last week but did not consume any unnecessary time as the Albemarle correspond ent to The Staxdakp predicteel in last week's paper; it is a line thing to have plenty of smart men. We could give the gentleman in Albe marle a few stunners, but think best to let him sweat during hot weather and approach him in the cool of the day, which we will probably do thro' the Observer, but this is only for Stanly readers. M. Ritchie is Bethel church's del egate to conference', to convene at Organ church the 27th inst., and IV J. Ritchie alternate; it is very prob able that the latter will attend con ference instead of the former, and Rev. C. C. Lyeriy w ill be at confer ence for the first time" in North Carolina. Rev. Lyeriy is here at work; he visited Bilesville Thursday and Fri day; he went to his work at Luther's church in eastern Rowan county. Rev. Lyeriy says he is well pleased with the people here because they are so sociable-and kind. lie visited North Caroliua College and the pro fessors of the institution last week, and also Rev. Geo. II. Cox, president of North Carolina Synod, all at "Mount of Pleasantness" as Rev. llathcoek expressed it at commence ment, but you know it to be Mount Pleasant after joking 11 little. X. 4'liiltlrpiiN Day. The exercises at the Methodist church yesterday were very interest ing. The ladies had decorated th? pulpit beautifully -with choicest flowers Beautiful festoons of flow ers of every hue were hangiug on either side, and the sweet, scented geraniums sent forth fragrant exha lations, as the zephyrs of the lovely Sabbath morning played among i hem. Tho morning exercises consisted of recitations by Misses Elma Cole and Bessie Page, and an address by J. Lee Crowd I. Mr. Crowell's sub ject was "How to Train Children," and his lecture was highly enjoyed by all. At -1 o'clock the review of the les sons were taken up, and when com pleted, an address by L. D. Duval. Mr. Duval is an interesting and en tertaining speaker. At night reci tations by Master lister Fink and Misses Lida Smith, Lillie Wilkinson, Winsio Nash, and Florence Carter; then an address by C. fi. Montgom ery on "Home Missions." . The programme was interspersed with fine music, and was highly en joyed by the large congregation pres ent. m Dili Not Want Tli-m. A colored man moved to Salis bury, sometime since, with his wife and children. He became tired of his better half, and he returned to Concord. The mater-faniilias could not hear from the pater, familias about the division of the property and especially the children; so she came dow n to Concord, and had de tectives to hunt up the "old man." When he was located the children were sent to him and the "old wo man," proud of her smart act, and rejoicing in the absence of cares, re turned to Salisbury Sunday evening. This is philosophy ! Poor Prophet. Mr. Jake Goodman has our deep- cst sympathy (and at the same time we are glad) in the loss of his repu tation as a good weather prophet. He stated that if norainfellon June 27th, it would not rain for seven weeks. Sunday evening a fin rain fell in different parts of the county, and enough fell ;ight he in Concord to "lay the dnst" and knock Goodman's theory into a cock ed hat. We still pin our faith to the predictions of Prof. John Abraham McAnulty, who predicted rain for yesterday. Judge Kliliip Irnl. Saturday evening at 5 o'clock, at his home in Charlotte, Judge Wil liam Marcus Shipp died. He was seventy-one yoars of age. Like all men, he was not entirely faultless; but as a man he was true and honest; and as a juelge, he was fair upright and able. The whole State sustains a great loss in the death of Judge Shipp. His remains were buried Sunday ening, a large crowd of sorrow ing friends and acquaintances attending. TrlcKraili I.lnc. "Dixie," a magazine devoted to industrial matters in the South, says this: "A company has been organ ized at Concord, N. C, to run a tele graph line from Concord to Mount Pleasant, a distance of ten miles. Thev want wire, instruments, etc., for same. John Young, of Con cord, may be addressed." This is a little previous; hut some parties have been figuring on the subject. Mnrrlrd. The Richmond Times contains this: "Thursday morning at the residence of V. S. District Attorney YV. L. Craig, Mr. J? rank Chalmers, a banker of Salem, Va., and Mrs. Mane D. Crouse, of New Marker, were married, by Rev. Collin Denny, Chaplain of the University of Vir ginia." Mrs. Crouse is well known in Con cord and Mi. Pleasant. Her father, Rev. Dr. Davis, was once President of North Carolina College. The Paper Given Over. What do you think of a frog swal lowing a chicken? A few days ago a son of Mr. A. C. Moore, of New Hope township, went to feed some guinea chickens that were m a coop, and on missing one of them he be gan to search for it in some weeds surrounding the coop, when he found a bull-frog with a foot of the chicken projecting from its mouth. He caught the frog, and, cutting it open, found the missing chicken in side of it. Chatham Record. Has the local editor of the Record license. Called Home. Dr. L. M. Archey left Sunday evening for Union, West Virginia, in answer to a summons to the bed side cf his father, who is seriously ill. Dr. Archey s father is seventy years old. We hope the doctor will find his father much improved on his arrival. DR. JONES DEAD. The State Loses a Prominent Ecucator. . Dr. Jones, of the Greensboro Fe male College, is 110 more. On Mon day at one p. m., in his 71st year he. passed- away. He was sick only since last Friday, but his attack Avas so severe that no hopes were enter tained for his recovery. Ever since 1854, Pr. Jones has zealously and ably watched over the interests of the institution, which is a pride of the Methodist church and an honor to the State. The influence and good example of Rev. Turner M. Jones, D. D., will live for vear3 to come in hun dreds of households in North Caro lina. HiNlory of Cubai-riin. The records of this section, the progress anil material developments of this county, and the liveis and careers of many of our olel citizens, suggest the need and propriety of gathering the facts and putting them in such shape as to be pre served, and of easy acce'ss. Just now three or four quite old gentlemen and an equal number of ladies yet survive, who have in possession a knowledge, clear and accurate, of many historical points that can be had, if some one would butjmove in this necessary and worthy under taking. In a few years, by the force of ele-ath or other causes, these facts and points in the history of Cabar rus cannot be had the memories rich in the abundarce of historical material, will be locked up from us forever. We know that the propriety of in ducing some one to wiite the history of Cabarrus county has been con sidered before-; and we know a gen tleman, who has gathered consider able statistics, and this information, supplemented by the observations anil experiences of a long and intel ligent life, would furnish a nucleus for this much needed work. It is to be regretted that there is no Literary Club here, that has for its work the study of the past years and the object of preserving in con venient shape a record of the pro gress and growth of the county, the struggle of our churches and schools in early years, and the recording of the de'eds and efforts of many noble men and Christian women. Ix't some one offer some sugges tions. The Win. ItwNt Mine. This mine is attracting consider able attention just now: It is lo cated about fourteen miles south of Concord. We understand, from re liable and experienced miners, that the vein is two feet broad, starting from the surface and has been ex amined to a depth of thirty-eight feet. The quality of the ore is easily seen from the. fact that a ton is worth from forty to sixty dollars. It is doubtless one of the richest mines in the State, besides the quan tity and quality of ore, the work of getting it out is not so difficult as is found in the working of many other mines. We expect, at an early day, to hear of some wonderful de velopments and extensive operations going on at this mine. A I.onir-Llved Family. Our friend, Mr. M. L. ("Bud") Clemmer, only a few years old, who at his birth had nine grand-parents living, as follows: "Father and mother, parents of his father; father and mother, of his mother; grandfather and grand mother, of his father; grandfather and grandmother, of kis mother and greatgrand father, of his father." Mt. Holly News. They certainly did not all kiss him, as is usually done with kids, or he would have been resting in some graveyard or had mighty bad breath, j t'orent Hill otew. Miss Ollie Odell has returned from Morehead City. Mr. J. F. Axson, who has charge of the bag department here, left this morning for Greensboro where he met his wife, who was on her way here from Chester, Pa. They arrived here at noon, and are at Mr. Milas Johnston's. Mr. W. A. Stone is building in the northeast part of town. Others will build soon in the same locality. The macadamized street near the factory has been covered with sand, adding much to the improvements already made. W. Sheriff KrUler Dead. Wednesday morning at two o'clock C. C. Krider, the sheriff of Rowan county for the last nine years, passed away. He dad been in feeble health for some months. He was highly respected and esteemed by both town and county people. He was sixty three years of age. Ninrl:y r.vriiini; RefleetiwiiH. Few people realize the importance of exerting their influence in the right direction Every day, every hour has its weight and will be felt throughout the coming ages. Around us are the boys and girls who are to govern and preach, and their characters are being shaped by the in fluence of their surroundings. We do not believe in a man trying to make his character passable before the public when in reality it is as black as a miduight crime, but in the man being a man, and worthy to be followed because he is such. There are times when people rise high above all party strifes and pre juilices, and dwell in the pure air of brotherly. love. It may be when the innocent babe is lying in its crib smiling as the angels hover around it that old grudges are for gotten,and all, with tender words and kindly assistance, try to comfort the sorrowing mother and grief -stricken father in this dark hour of troble. It may be after the man or woman, whom we have tried to thwart in their every undertaking, has suffered the pangs of eleath and passed into the great unseen that we can realize something beautifully sublime in their nature. How often in life a fellow-t raveler is given unkindnesses and disappointments, and after his lips are scaled forever, kinds words are spoken of him and flowers, be dewed with tears, are placed upon his grave. - -a W. C T. V. In connection with the Demorest silver medal contest which takes place in the Female Academy next Friday night, the W. C. T. U. ladies will have a yard party. Refresh ment usually served at a summer festival will be plentiful, and we bespeak for them the patronage of a generous public. Housekeepers who promised con tributions to the W. C. T. -U. yard party some time ago will be called on next Friday for their contribu tions. The soliciting committee will wait on those who have not been called upon, this week. The committee on the entertain ment of the YV. O. T. U. State Con vention which convenes here next week will soon see you about homes for delegates and visitors. One delegate writes: "We trust you ladies will r.ot trouble yourselves unneces sarily for the convention. We are all home keepers and hope you will not make extra preparation for home entertainment." Let Concord's time honored hospitality be sustained in open doors and a warm welcome to these noble women. W. C. T. U. women should all wear the white ribbon, and are spe cially requested to do so during the session of the convention next week. Miss Willard, president of the National and World's W. C. T.

A grand fourth of July celebration will be given at Morehead. The Southern Teacher s Association will be in session there then. Mr. George Vanderbilt keeps adding to his estate at Ashe ville. He has lately purchased twenty-eight acres of land adjoining "Biltmore," for the round sum of $33,000. In So. 3- Mr. George L. Fisher came in Sat urday evening and took a Staxdakd reporter into the country. Not withstanding the great need of rain, cotton and corn throughout No. 2 townsbin are far ahead of the record of any previous year; the corn is well grown and the cotton is Uioom iusr nicely. The wheat crop is by no means respectable. !3. L. Carroll planted nine bushels of wheat and realized thirteen. Mack Caldwelf" planted twenty-five bushels on twenty-five acres; he knew his crop was poor, but expected a yield of fifty bushels at least, but the threshers went to his house Saturday morning and suc ceeded in knocking out but twenty five bushels from Mr. Caldwell's en tire crop. This is a discouraging re sult, but the farmers are use to it. We 6aw many nice fields of pease, which 19 an evidence of good farming. NTATE AOTES. A mad dog was killed at Carey a few days ago.

A few days ago an altercation took place between Thomas Wright and Jacob Thompson. Wright called Thompson, who was a clerk in a store, a liar, whereupon Thompson struck him with a rolling Din and erysipelas set in and he died. Ral eigh Chronicle. There is another "rebellion."
