Queen's Hotel, Birmingham, Eng., July 29, 1890. My Dear Mr. Cook: In accord ance with the promise you exacted of me before leaving home I will undertake tonight to write my first weekly letter. The Etruria, the ship on which I sailed, reached Liverpool on last Saturday, afttr a quiet, smooth and unusually quick trip. By the time we had under gone the formality of a custom house examination hich in England is the merest farce, and had gotten supper, the Walker Art Gallery, which at. present contains Dore's most famous paintings, was opened for the eveniDg. If I could describe these wonderful pictures in a letter I would do, so but that is impossible. Sunday morniug we attended services at the Parish Church of Liverpool. The summer assize be ing held at this time the Judges attended church arrayed in their long white wigs, red coats and knee breeches, attended by the Lord Mayor and his body guard, the whole party beiug escorted by about fifty policemen and a lot of trump eters who placed a tremendous flonr ish as the dignitaries descended from their coaches, assisted by numerous footmen in gaudy liveries, and en tered the church. The whole scene produced a profound impression on me, as it is the first evidence I had that I was no longer under the same system of government as at home. As soon as we left the church, without waiting for dinner, we left for Chester, which is thirty miles from Liverpool on our way to this city. There we spent the afternoon and night very pleasantly as well as very profitably, as I will endeavor to describe. Chester is the most ancient city iu all England. Its foundation lies far beyond the reach of hist ry. Japhet, the grandson of Noah, is said to have been its founder. It is entirely walled around, and is the only remaining city whose wall remains in tact. When Britian was invaded by the Romans, Chester was occupied by the Twentieth LegLn of Ca-sar, and the walls which still en circle the city, were built by those wonderful men. The traveler can cuter only by one of four gateways, uhich correspond to the points of compass. A walk around this wall, which extends over two miles, is a great treat, every step being full of interest. Upon it is built a tower, some fifty feet higher than the wall, which is now called King Charles Tower, for it was from this elevation that that unfortunate Monarch stood and witnessed the defeat of his army on Rowton Moor. The interior of this tower is covered with interest ing relics well preserved. I wish I had time to tell you of the Old Ca thedral, the foundation of which was laid in the year CC0. (The present edifice, however, was not erected nntil 1490.) The Palace of Bishop Lloyd built in 1C15 &c. but it would take too . long. I will simply mention two other placc3 I visited the same day and close. Eaton Hall, three miles distant upon tne oanK or me oeauuiui river Dee, is the magnificent seat of the Duke of Westminster, the wealthiest man in England if not the world. He owns real estate to the amount of 42,000 acres, besides his London residence. The Hall is the most beautiful structure I ever saw. It is nearly 700 feet long and is Gothic in style. His land is all entailed, but if it could be sold it would bring $2,000 per acre, to say nothing of the buildings. I mention this to show you the fabulous value of farming land in England. I got this information from a trustworthy source, and afterward verified it by extensive inquiry. The park in which Eaton Hall is situated, con tains about 2,000 acres, and is kept with exquisite care. It is full of the choicest game of all kinds. The herds of deer at,d the multitude of pheasants attracted my attention. The gamekeeper told me he had about 2,000 deer besides the fawns. The phtasant were like the sands of the seashore for numbers. In the paddocks and stables I saw some of the world's most famous horses, several being Derby winners. I wanted to be turned 'loose among all that game and horses, with Puryear, Means and Bingham with guns and dogs for one day only. I would like to describe the river which twines beautifully through the park, and the score of fish ponds, all stocked with different varieties of fish, but I have already written too much, and must say a few words about Howarden Castb, the home of Gladstone. We drove from Eaton E Hall to this place, which is seven miles from Chester. The Castle is located just in the edge of the little village of Howarden. In this village is a lovely church built originally in 1290, but has been- re modelled and enlarged several times since. Rev. Steven E. Gladstone, son of the "grand old man," is the rector. We got there just in time for evening service and, of course, attended, to see the preacher if for no better reason. We drove through the park in which the home of the great statesman stands and returned to Chester, and came on to this city in order to be present at the opening of the British Medical Association. This is the close of the second day of the session. They will adjourn tomorrow night. The British med ical men have been exceedingly courteous to us. We attended a re ception given by the mayor last night and tonight we are to be en tertained by Sir Walter Foster, M. P., who is also a physician and a member of the Association, and to morrow night we will be the guest of Dr. Lawson Tait The Associa tion has an annual serman by some distinguished church official. This time we had the pleasure of hearing the Archbishop of Canterberry. The British Medical Association have 5,000 members present. Their total membership is 15,000. I am told that never more than J can attend. The information I have gained by hearing their discussion of medical and surgical diseases and injuries has amply repaid me for coming to Europe, to say nothing of the profit and pleasure I have derived outside my profession. There are to be sev eral excursions given to neighboring historical spots on Friday and a huge dinner on same night, but we will not be able to attend as we must leave as soon as our work is done in order to reach Berlin for the opening of the International Medical Con gress. I could write the remainder of the night and tell you of the distinguished physicians and sur geons I have met Men whose names are known throughout the civilized world ahd whose writings I have read and studied all my professional life, but that would not interest a man not in my bnsiness, so I will saj goodbye. Love to all my friends. Robt. S. Young. A Xovel Mode or Affirmation. There are many Associate Re formed Presbyterians in this county, and it is not unusual to sec men in our court house, when called on to quaiify as witnesses or jurors, put aside the book and affirm instead of swearing. They do this by holding up the right hand. The Israelites affirm also. Monday, however. when A. F. Wallace, Esq., qualified as foreman of the grand jury, he not only refused the book but de clined to hold up his baud, and his hands hung at his side while the clerk read the oath to him. Many persons who have never before wit nessed this form of affirmation, wondered what it ment, and to what faith and order Mr. Wallace belongs. He is a member of the Society of Friends, and this is the mauner in which they affirm. The Landmark. Haul or nollai.l The following is the card of Mr. Samuel Colgan who is a candidate for commissioner in the county of Edge6eld, South Carolina, The candidate is original in his an nouncement if nothing more: To the Good People of Edgefield: The wind bloweth where it listeth and no man can tell whether it comes or whither it goes, but I am not that kind of a cat I am a Ben Tillman cat, and if elected county commissioner, propose to reform, beautify, adorn, resuscitate, rejuve nate and rehabilitate Edgefield county from the edge of the water to the top of the rock. I am a laboring man and haul wood. If not elected I can haul on. I would say more, but I am a man of few works and full of trouble. ANHlKunirnt of J. I. Anderson. A little ripple was created in Morganton commercial circles last Monday morning by" the announce ment that Mr. J. L. Anderson, dealer in boots and shoes, had made an assignment. In the deed of as signment, which was placed on record on Monday, Mr. D. J. Hicks is made assignee, and Rev. C. M. Anderson and J. M. Huffman & Co., of Morganton, are the only preferred creditors, their claims amounting to about $1,000. The total liabilities are about $3,000 and the nominal assets something like the same amount. II. & E. Hartman & Co., and Hurst Parnell & Co., of Balti more, and Fleishman & Morris and Stern Bros., of Richmond are among the unseenred creditors, the fist named firm being the largest Mor ganton Herald. CONCORD, N. C, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1890. $11,000. ONE HOUR'S RAIN IN EASTERN CABARRUS ON THE 7th. Jenny Wolf, Little Buffalo and Dutch Buflalo Creek. Mill Wanned Away. Brlugres Gone. Corn Destroyed. Nos. 6, 7, 8 aud 9 townships have been under water. Dark, angry clouds literally lay upon mother earth, and opened up their contents iu a few minutes, Big Buffalo, that runs by Mt Pleasant, has never been so full within the recollection of the oldest citizens. CRESS' ' MILL. Cress' flour and corn mill, on Jenny Wolf, is thought to be moved from its base; the wheels and fore bay are washed out and away. The damage is great, as work will be sus pended for some time. FOIL'S MILL. This mill was considered far above high water mark, but twenty minutes after the rain started to fall the muddy, wild water had leaped up into the first floor of the mill and flooded wheat, flour, meal, corn and damaged the mill to a great extent. The big . dam across the stream here broke terrific and violent was the force ef the water as it rushed down 6tream, moving everything before it in its wild, destructive course. BARRINGER'S MILL. C. D. Barringer'a flour mill was damaged to an exteut that a thousand dollars will not make good the dam ages. A costly dam washed away, forebay aud wheels gone possibly to the Yadkin. Besides this loss, his saw mill was lifted from its base aud floated down the creek. Nearly the whole property i3 wrecked. bridges. A $G00 bridge at Foil's mill, three miles north of Mt. Pleasant, washed away, leaving not even the ap proaches. This bridge .was built last year. It was long and high. A large public bridge at Barrin ger's mill was knocked into ten thousand atoms by the fearful flood. This place is two miles northeast of Mt. Pleasant. The bridge on W. R. Kindley's plantation (formerly William W. Reed's) is reported washed away. The bridge over Buffalo on .the public road, one mile east of Mt. Pleasant, was two feet under water. The water had never rose even up to the bridge. If Mr. W. R. Kindley's mill on the east side of the creek is damaged, it could not be found out, as it was utterly impossible to cross. rafts, etc. The creek was near a half mile wide at many places. The raft that carried away the dams and bridges was nearly a mile long. LOSS. Scarcely a bushel of corn will be gathered from the Buffalo bottoms. It is all destroyed. The damage and loss thus far reported, to build ings, bridges, crops and lands, are estimated by calm men to be over $10,000. Nothing could be heard from points below Mt Pleasant, but it is reasonably certain that the bridge at Moses Barrier's mill and at Shinn's store are gone, besides the total destruction of the crops. Cooled Bat Not Inared. During the rain Thursday even ing at Mr. Joe Moose's blacksmith shop at Forest Hill, the horse of Dr. C. C. Caldwell, of Tulin, wa3 beiug shod. The animal was under the shed about 8 feet from the anvil and Mr. Goshen Lamb, a 60 year-old Confederate soldier, held the bridle rein?. The lightuing struck near by the horse plunged forward against the anvil, the horn of which inflicted a bad wound in the horses breast. The brave Lamb held on, being burled through the atmos phere of the shop up near the roof canopy, and when he "lit," he sat in the biggest cooling tub iu the county; the water struck him about the arms. O.i taking an inventory of damage it was found that the horse was badly hurt, and brave old Mr. Lamb received no scars, but was found pretty damp. List of Advertised Letters. At Concord, Cabarrus county, N. !., for the week ending August 11, 1890: Gentlemen Allen, . A; Durgar, John F; Wade, Cornelius (col). Ladies Carter, Miss Margaret; Gilmc, Miss Hattie, (col); Smith, Miss Nettie; Wallice, Mrs. Jose phine. To obtain any of the above the applicant must pay one cent, and call for "Advertised Letters," stating the date of list Mary R. Dusenberrt, Postmistress. Miss Ada Craven left for Wilming ton on Saturday. TANBAR Prom Albemarle, Large freshet first of the week. Mr. Ira Lineberger left for his home in Gaston county last Wednes day. The Blalock hotel is keeping mer ry with boarders since in the hands of its new proprietor, Esq. Bostian. Mrs. M. B. Howell, of Salisbury, has removed to her old home at this place. We welcome her back. A truck wagon from Salisbury was driven into our town last Wednesday, and was soon filled with wax, berries, cow hides, etc. Mrs. Patsy Kirk, an aged lady who resided east of here three miles or more, died at her home last Mon day. Miss Fannie Smith and Mrs. G. P. Watkins, returned a few days ago from their trip to Wilmington, where they visited Mrs. Mary Mer cer, who returned home with them, accompanied by Lillie Walker. Mrs. Mercer will visit at her mother's, Mrs. J. A. Lilly's about two months. Mr. S. J. Pemberton has a large banana tree in his yard which i8 quite an attraction. The tree is some ten or more feet high and is one which Mr. Pemberton has care fully nurtured from a wee small set ting. It is now putting out a bunch of banannas and has about 20 young ones in view. On last week William Smith while in the employ of Mr. Caudle as mail carrier was accused of stealing money entrusted to his care by R. L. Sib ley & Bro. Early on Wednesday morning of last week, after working all night, and before he had eaten his breakfast Will was taken with a search warrent by Sibley's. Will protested his innocence. .To explain how little some people regard their fellow men, Sibley placed into the bauds of Smith two letters, one which he said contained $4.00 and requested Smith to mail them at Norwood. Not hearing from the letters immediately Sibleys had Smith's house seached, but found nothing. To the surprise and con sternation of Sibleys, we were g'ad somewhat to see the tables turned. Smith's innocence was confirmed by letters from the two parties saying each had received the letter intended for the othur. A mistake of Sibley and not theft by Smith. The mining property of the II. & H. mine near here will be sold before long to pay off debts. "Jones, the proprietor who run the mine on promises to pay (wheu he had noth ing to pay with) was here a few days ago; but the laborers commenced getting so close to him that he got uncomfortable, and skipped under cover of darkness. Young Jones, his sou also left, but was taken with a state warrant and returned today with the officer, seut for him,and he awaits his trial. Miss'Dillie Austin returned to her home last week from a visit to friends and relatives in Cabarrus and Rowan. Mrs. J. C. Hasty and daughter are visiting friends and relatives at Beaver Dam. Mrs. II. W. Betts and family and her brother, Mr. George Heiligof Mt. Pleasant who visited her sister, Mrs. S. H. Hearne, returned to their home3 last Tuesday. News Glance. The population of Atlanta, Ga., is G5,414. The family of William Kemmler, the New York murderer who was electrocuted, failed to claim his body. Arthur Krupp, of Germany, will make an extensive tour through the United States to study its iron interests. The large spoke and shuttle factory at China Grove is to be moved to Salis bury. Salisbury is considering sewerage and improved streets. The Woman's Missionary convention which has been in session at Salis bury adjourned yesterdayto meet next August at Asheville A general strike has taken place on the New York Central and Hudson River railroad. Thousands of guests are eroding the hotels along the line being unable to get away. The Whitechapel club of Chicago has in vited Warden Durston, of the Au burn penitentiary, to deliver a lec ture on the Kemmler execution aud asked him to bring with 1dm a model of the chair and electrical ap pliances. It Tickles The Standard. To see how curious some people are to know a candidate's name. To see how far some people will ride, under the pretense of going to preaching, just to get a good aquaie meal. To hear the latest in the hat line, after the return of preaching-going-people. Cool wave Monday morning. From the War. For the Standard. Wrightsville N. C, Aug. 5. The Cabarrus Black Boys instead of killing men as it is their business to do, saved one's life, or the county from building a new pillar to the county bridge over the railroad. . As the engine backed us from the side track to the main line, one of the breakman was holding on to the railing of the car, and leaning out as far as he could with his back to the bridge, his head would have come in contact with one of the pillars had not a member of the Black Boys hollowed "look out," which, he be ing a railroad man did not do, but simply and quickly pulled himself back on the platform and sayed his head. When the engineer pulled out from Concord it did not take long to find out- that he was in a hurry. He run so fast if one looked out of the car he passed objects by the railroad so quickly that it made him sea sick. At Salisbury we were joined by companies from Waynes ville, Statesville and Asheville. The Asheville company traveled in a pal lace car. At Greensboro we waited about two hours, then left on the N. C. railroad which is a rough road in comparison with the R. & D. From Selma to Golsboro travel was some what exciting as the road was rough and we traveled at forty miles an hour. At Goldsboro we were met by Brigadier Geneial Anthony, and Sergeant Caldwell held a reception in our car. The ride to Wrights vine was quick and hot When we arrived the regiment was quickly formed and we marched to camp Litimer where Commissionary Ser geant Sappenfield had a good supper ready. Thanks to experience and a good cook. After supper some of the boys went to the beach, some to bed and others, to their sorrow, went on guard. North Carolina is a great State, but its greatness does not consist in liberality, but in the fact that every one of its citizens get into the Slite Guard to serve North Carolina in the capacity of soldier,does it regard less of the cost to himself. If I am correctly informed the United States through appropriations made to the State, furnishes guns, cloth for suits, Tents, etc., the State fur nishes transportation, about three dollars per man, one five cents wash pan for every six men, a bundle of straw to sleep on and ipecac free. The soldier has to furnish his own rations, eta, which cost from ten to twenty-five dollars. I do hope the Alliance will control the next legis lature as I believe they will, at least give us rations. August 6. The music and parade were first class this eyening. The 4th regiment fully sustains her for mer reputation, and we all regret very much that Col. Anthony is not with us. The Black Boys are get ting their full share of the honor, they have the first officer of the day and first orderly, and Mr. Quint Smith is acting sergeant of the regi ment; why all of this? The answer is plain They wear Swink's two dollar shoes. I certainly do not envy those of our company who stayed at home as our accommoda tions are so much better than they were last year, and we are all enjoy ing ourselves very much. Too many thanks cannot be given to the Y. M. C. A. for the accommodations which they furnish us. Very truly, Just So. Senator Vance and Cotton Ties. Senators Vance aud Daniel also epoke against the proposed increase of duty on cotton ties, the pending paragraph. Mr. Vance ridiculed the claim that the farmer derived any benefit from the tariff, and declared that there was no way in which the pro posed increase of duty on cotton ties "Could be looked at that was de fensible. The most deserving be cause the most useful, in a commer cial point of view, of all the agri cultural products of the U. S. was to be taxed to death in all the pro cesses of its growth and production and was then taxed, a farewell shot, as the bale left the gin house, one hundred and three per cent in the ties that bound it; and this was done, not for the benefit of the American manufacturers of cotton ties, for there were none, and not for the benefit of the treasury, for the bill was one to reduce revenue, but out of pure "cussedness," and because the Republican party had got used to taxing things that they could not stop. There were riot enough farmers in town today to get up a respecta ble baseball nine. All at home WHOLE NO. 144. HE ENDORSES VANCE. AN INTERVIEW WITH MR. HILEMAN ABOUT THE SENATORSHIP. Tne Only Candidate to represent this County In the Legislator Stands Square by Democracy. It is intimated that there is a se cret movement "to defeat Vance. The Standard has never been pre pared to.accept this as the true na ture of the political situation. The Standard has too much faith iu Vance's record,in the gratefulness of North Carolinians, and last, but not least, in the work of the Alli ance. There are men, who never lied to Vance they don't now. But that he has the confidence of the people and will have their sup ports, the Standard doe3 not doubt Not a few questious have been put to one another as to the position of Mr. Hileman, who is the president of the County Alliance and who was solicited, (this is our personal knowl edge,) by many leading citizens of the county regardless of vocation, to become a candidate for the Legisla ture. A Standard reporter inter viewed Mr.- Hileman this morning on the reports being circulated and published over the State to the effect that the Alliance was nursing the determination to defeat Vance. "Is it true that the Alliance is plotting to defeat Vance for the Senate? Said Mr. Hileman: "I speak for Cabarrus county, when I say emphatically that there is positively no movement among the Alliances of this county against Vance;" it is true that there are some men who do not fully agree with Senator Vance on his po sition on the sub- treasury bill, but they have not lost confidence in his integrity nor have they determined to withdraw their support from him. Vance has all the time been for the people against trusts, combines, etc., and the people are for Vance. From what 1 know, 1 believe this to be true. "There seems to be no room tor doubt as to your election without opposition, and if you are elected, what course will you pursue as to the election of a Senator: ' asked the reporter. 'I am for Zeb Vance, because I believe that through his influence, letters and speeches he has been the me::ns of .inducing the farmers to think, organize and labor with more earnestnass- to remedy the condition of the agricultural interests of tne country; I am for him, again, be cause I believe him a devoted friend to the farmer, a true man and at? able statesman, and believing all this I will support him so long as he shows himself true to the people. The Standard is satisfied, Mr. Hileman, doubtless, has voiced the sentiment of nineteen-twentieths of the Alliance men, farmers and business men of the county. Editor Daily Standard: Dear Sir: By request i hand you the fol lowing preamble and resolutions offered by Revs. H. M. Blair and M. A. Smith and adopted by the last session of The Salisbury District Conference M. E. Church South. viz. Whereas we df em it of the high est importance to furnish the very best opportunities for the education of the masses and we recognize the importance of giving our people the opportunity of educating their chil dren under the influence of Method ism, where they may be prepared either for the active duties of life or for entering the higher courses of study at College and wherea3 it is the policy of our church to establish at least one District High School within the bounds of each district, therefore resolved: 1.

Notwithstanding the fact that a meeting was being held at Rocky luver rresbjtenan church aud one at Arlingtou Baptist church, the crowd in attendance was immense?. The sermou in the morning was preached by Rev. Mr. Washborne, of Monroe. During dinner a heavy rain pre vented many a hungry mortal from getting a finishing touch on his meals. The rain fell in torrents for 45 minutes. The pitiful looking mortal was the fellow who wore bleached-flax breeches he tried to eat and tried to keep bis pants dry, but it was net long before he was seen seeking shelter against a large tree and his pants sticking "closer to him than a brother." The road from Concord to Bethel is in a horrible condition. Very hilly, naturally, and the recent hard rains have washed the road into great holes. The crops are good. The corn crop on upland is splendid, and the cotton is far better than for several years past Some changes have been made at Flowe's store. Dr. D. W. Flowe has turned his store building so as to make it face the east Mr. P. B. Bost has a nice, large store building, and it is said he is doing a cood business. Another building had this on the door: "No. 1008 Club Room Davie Avenue," and we no ticed that two mule shoes were hang ing on either side of the door, thus insuring good luck. Mr. Benj.

Jim Rumple, of the Salisbury Watchman, wants some wild cherries. It is now stated that the report that a Brower newspaper was to make its appearance soon, was a little "previous." Next week the R. & D. will put two trains a day on the road between Greensboro and Wilkesboro. Both trains will be run in daylight. Winston Sentinel: Mr. R. L.

We couldn't live without him.. Durham Globe. Reciprocity, the first cousin of free trade, has become quite popular with a large element of the Republican party since Mr. Blaine made his break from his party's traditional policy of high protection; but it seems that Mr. Blaine, a3tute as he is, has walked up too late for the full realization of the benefits that might have re sulted from a policy had it been adopted years ago. Salisbury Watchman : A white boy named John Mason was com mitted to jail'on lasc Wednesday for attempted rape on a little colored girl named Flora Craige some eight or nine days before. The girl ap peared to be intelligent, and says that the boy made the attempt in the smoke house of Mr. - Fraley, for whom he worked, enticing her in under the pretense of treating her to apples. The case wa3 heard before 'Squire Heilig. The boy could not give $500 bail. The Standard has received from Mr. S. R. Voils a copy of "Grand Junction (Col.) News."
