HAS NOT QUIT ITS FOOLISHNESS. Some of the northern papers, notably the New York Herald, keeps tip a constant mutter on the boycott which some Southern newspapers proposed. The Atlanta Constitu tion never made a greater mistake in the world than when it proposed such unwise measures, and the Her ald knows that the newspapers of the South do not favor it. They have only condemned it, yet this is a source from which arises a con stant shower of hot words from that element on both sides which is pass ionately in favor of hostilities. The war is over and brave men never fight after peace has been declared. What a great people we would have if every one could remember that this is a fact, and that we are one nation and all with one common interest. Thee thiugs are getting to be monotonous on both sides. It is no use for the Southern people to blame the North for doing juit what ii i. . i .1, uiejf wine ii iiig iu uu iui-Hi:i-iu.", and the Northern people should remember that the Southern people accepted the re3nlts of the war and have, for a quarter of a century, been living up to their pledges. Doe Vance Wear a KrmIi ? Now they tell it on Senator Vance that he has been guilty of wearing one of those dude silk welly wands, but that when he came down here to tell the Scotch-Irish how to farm, he discarded hi3 city garb and wore a suit that had been keeping the Gombroon moths in provender for three years past. There must be some truth in rumor about the Sen ator and the Sash, for when Vance returned to Washington, the Star greeted him with this refrain: Kow Senator Vance May take off his pants, And put on his sash with elation ; lie may dress, as he feels, For the loyal Tar Heels Have endorsed him by acclamation. The Alliance platform is not yet f ally made tip, and at its next gen eral meeting we expect to see a plank inserted demanding a tariff on silk -sashes and. "yaller shoes. Charlotte Jsews. We don't care what kind of a "welly wand" Senator Vance wears. He has had off his coat ver since he has been serving the people and if he has to ''take off hi3 pants" it is a reason for us to believe he is deeper in the din of battle with Boss Reed and Force Bill Lodge. 'Our Zeb is a fighter, he is. - la Crime Increasing? That is a question which has been aBked often, and ha3 as yet never been answered satisfactorily. It is a fact that today our jails and peni tentiaries are crowded with crimi nals more than they were fifty years ago. But whether the percentage is greater now than then will never be answered with any degree of cer tainty. The population is greater now than then, and crime is pun ished quicker now than then, for in the infancy of our nation a criminal was kept at home and his crime was not made public, and now the law at' once arraigns him at the bar of justice; therefore it is impossible to arrive at any correct conclusion on this subject. But some of our greatest men and deepest thinkers believe that the number of criminals is greater in proportion now than at any other time in the history of our country. If that be true, it is a dis grace to the present generation, and brands their efforts to Christianize the world as being futile in bring ing about this great revolution. We don't believe it. The secret of the whole thing is that this generation is striving for money, and money alone. They dive into the channels which they think leads to wealth, and without ever stopping to look at their surroundings, its swift current hurls them into it's terminus the penitentiary or the gallows. Chief Justice Merrimon and Asso Mte Justice Clark have accepted the Stations tendered them by he State Pemocratio convention to suc ceed themtelTM. STANDARD NOTES. They say that the list of public men who have joined the various temperance organizations this year is a long one. Some ball-headed bachelors are not married because girls like a handsome suit of hair, and others remain single because they don't wan't to loose what little hair they have. The price of Hour has advanced considerably in the last few itays, said to be caused by a short ngo in the Knropean crop. The d ings of Congress have strapped Undo Sam. and this will go mighty bard with him. Dr. Lamborn, of Xew Voik, is u bitter enemy of the mosquito. Some time ago he ottered a prize for the best essay on a plan to exterminate the summer pest and one of his ex perts give this as a lvniedy: 'Tut salt on his tail, and dub it to death." Some men will stoop mighty low for party interests. In ISSSi Dakota was credited with a population of 5Sn,000 and its administration was urged. Xow two years have passed by and it is found that the two states made out of it have only 578, 000. Travel up north is exceeding wearisome ovin to the irregularity of the trains. The strikers seem to hold things to suit themselves. It seems that labor and capital have set themselves squarely against each other, and yet the one is helpless without the other. Boss Uced has sent Force Bill Lodge and others up into Maine to size np" things for him. Mr. Blaine now has an engagement with Lord Salisbury concerning the Bea ring Sea, and will let these gentle men paddle their own canoe, and he wouldn't care if the canoe would upset either. Something rather unusual occur red iu the penitentiary at .Toliet, 111., last Tuesday. Bev. Frank E. Jeffrey, a missionary to India, who leaves for that country in a few weeks, Mas married to the daughter of Warden Bergren, the convict or chestra furnishing the music for the occasion. Things remain in a batl condition in South Carolina. They say they need Divine foresight to see what may lie done. South Carolina has received a blow from which she can not soon recover. It is a pity for the Democracy of as great a State as South Carolina to be crippled up by such demagogues as Tillman. It is said that the price of wheat keeps pace with the upward move ment of the price of silver, and the one is givcu as the chief cause of the other. Si ace the passage of the silver bill the metal has , gone up 14 cents per ounce, nnd wheat has gone up fully 10 cents per bushel. The shortage in the United States wheat crop is estimated to be 8,000,000 bushels. The orphans at the Asylum were very much attached to Dr. Dixon and part with him with the keenest sorrow. The Day says there h:tve been several runaways recently on account of their beloved superin tendent leaving. There is no tie that binds people closer and firmer than love. Everv school teacher in the land should try to get every student to love them. Just what kind of baijin? the present crop of cotton will be wrap ped in is not known. It is agitating the minds of a great mans manufac turers and dealers. Jute is by far the cheapest thing to use now, but whether or not it will be used can't be known just yet. If the farmers don't want to use jute we would ad vise them to watch the developments of the Augusta cotton stalk fibre factory and to encourage it in mak ing a new kind of bagging. The bravest light and the most complete victory the farmers have ever made was with the jute bagging trust. The. greedy spirit was in the manufacturers and they tried to force unreasonable and unjust prices on the farmer by pricing jute at fifteen cents. But with that noble disposition and American principle which demands justice, the noble old farmers stood in uu broken ranks and refused to use it. The result is that the victory is theirs and today jute is quoted at 5 J cents. IJKSTKlCTIVi: FLAMES Leave 500.000 Worm of Properly in AslieH. New York, Aug. 20. The whole city was aroused this morning at about i o'clock by the rapid fire alarms which .sounded. The fire was discovered to be in the Mc Yieker's theatre. The firemen worked heroically, but the wind assisted the flames in their destructive work and they could not be controlled. It was soon seen that other buildings must needs follow.

The loss is beyond a half a million. ' In their efforts, one fireman was severely injured and is now dead. Others were crippled by falling missiles. STATE MOTES.

EODY Prof. Mclver Has Nad Deep Im lreMion He Presents II U Subject ana Not Hlmseir. The County Superintendent called the meeting to order and announced that the devotional exercises would be conducted by Dr. J. F. Crowell, president of Trinity College. Prof. Mclver, the State Institute conduc tor, was then introduced. HIS ADDRESS. Prof. Mclver reviewed the educa tional interests of the State. ,IIe re ferred to the lack of interest on the part of parents. "I called on all those in a large audience, who had heard their children recite during the last winter, to hold up hands," said the speaker, "and only 16 held up hands; why you would take more interest in your hogs and cattle than that." . He was glad to see so many teachers present, aud called attention to the fact that the law required the teachers to attend. He did not want a teacher, who failed to attend the institute, to insult the County Su perintendent by asking him for a certificate. He regretted that 60 few of the citizens of the town and county were present. Go out and tell them to come in; we want them, we want their encouragement; bring them. We must have the voters to become interested, for the improvement of the school system aud the increase of the school fund depends on their efforts. We need more than 119 cents per scholar. Why, the average amount paid is 39 cents per citizen! Prof. Mclver wanted each teacher to write three postal cards, one to each committeeman to come in, join us and help us on Friday in working up a big interest in our schools. The postal cards were furnished and the teachers addressed their appeal to home folks. Mrs. Mclver read a selection. The Institute was highly entertained by this reading. After several an- nouncenients,the Institute adjourned to meet at 2:30. The following teachers are pref ent: Misses llosa jMcConnell, of Springs ville; Maggie Johnston, Concord; Emma J.

The ministers of the town honor the Institute with their presence, IVof. Mclver has not a single tired bone or muscle in his body. SECOUD DAY. Interest in the institute is grow ing. it is decidedly the best ever held in the county. Large crowds attend and are deeply concerned in the truths and principles that Prof, Mclver presents in 8uch earnest and ciear manner. The teachers are prompt and attentive. Lectures on the importance o calisthenics, on reading and arithme tic were entertaining and instructive. Mrs. Mclver's readings are greatly enjoyed by teachers and visitors. itoi. Mclver s remarks on care less habits and thoughtlessness were pointed, true and effective. Said he: "You blot out the sin caused by thoughtlessness and vou have but little sin left." The following teachers have been added to the roll since last renort: Misses Cora Furr, Furr's Store; Claude Gner, Harrisburg; Mollie Fetzer, Concord; Annie Query. Query's; Emma Houston, Newell's; m. v. Atwater, Concord; Lucy M. Richmond, Concord: Oriella Bost, oncoru; Maggie H isher, Mt. Pleas ant; Amanda Winecoff, Concord; and Messrs. J. II. Ritchie. A. S.

The work moves on ; the interest is -growing; the number of visitors is increasing ; old people, vounsr non. pie, and even bachelors, are regular auenaants. It is complimentary io Prof. Mr. Iver and his good, earnest wife, and a splendid credit to the themselves, that the number nf teachers enrolled and their regular ity surpass anything within the his tory of institutes in this county. There are only fifty-six districts in the county, yet there ia an enroll ment of 69 teachers. Only three or four teachers of the county are ab sent, and .they have rendered satis factory excuses. lev. T. W. Smith conduct! votional exercises. A poem, " Why Should the Spirit f the Mortal be bo Proud?" was read by Prof. Mclver. Hia remarks were perfect gems. He touched on the false pride of some people who refused to send their children to public schools. Said-he: "I have a poor opinion of that man whose religion causes him to be afraid to sit at the side of a poor man." " Some people think there is a vast difference between town and country public schools. They are the same, only one is public and has money, the other is public but has no money." The class of little boys and girls. neither of whom could read or spell has become one of the interesting features of the Institute. The chil dren know several words, and read splendidly for the time. The lecture on grammar was ful of good common sense. Professor Mclver does not advocate starting young children ia the study of theoretical grammar. lie believes in teaching grammar the first day of the child's entrance, but such grammar as can be learned from right pronunciation and correct speaking. He gave a number of common errors in the use of every day words. Prof. Mclver gave a short talk on devices for ready calculating. Miss Ida Vail, of Charlotte, and a member of the Institute, by re quest recited. She was loudly ap plauded. in the afternoon, by special re, quest of the teachers, Mr. Jas. Fink sang a solo, "The Model Church." The teachers and yisitors were greatly entertained with the song. INSTITUTE NOTES. Prof. Mclver called on all those teachers who intended to teach for five years to hold np their bands. Seven young ladies held up their hands. The gentlemen were all as tonished at the course the ladies had decided to pursue. Capt J. M. Odell has the thanks of the entire Institute for five hand some boquets.

A reign of terror exists here. Citizens are boldly assaulted on the streets at night. Others are made to nv nn their money at the muzzle of a revolver, while daring burglaries are committed nightly. i AaatUer SkMttiC The head-waiter at the Glen Rock hotel, Curtis Anderson, was shot by Chester Orr, another waiter, Satur day night about 8:30 o'clock. Two shots were fired by Orr, one of which took effect in Anderson's thigh pass ing nearly through it; the other went wide of the mark. The wound, though very painful, is pronounced by Dr. J. II. Williams not to be necessarily dangerous. The cause of the shooting was a letter which a chambermaid of the hotel wrote to Anderson. Andersoi lost the letter and Orr found it and told the chamber-maid Anderson nad riven it to him. The chamber maid then went for Anderson for showing the letter to Orr. Ander son denied showing the letter to any body, and then went to Urr and ac cused him of stealing the letter. They abused each other for some time, and Orr left, saving he would get even. This happened in the af ternoon. Toward supper time Orr put on his Sunday suit borrowed a revolver and camped on Anderson s trail. About 8:30 p. m. when the guests at the notel had. finished supper, Anderson stepped from the dining room into the hall. As he entered the hall Orr jumped from behind a door about ten feet distant and blazed away. He was evidently ner vons as only one ball reached the mark. He then dropped his weapon and disappeared in the corn held in the rear of the hotel. The affair cansed no little excite' ment among the guests of the hotel who were nearly all sitting on the piazza. When the shooting com menced they all made a rush for the dining room. The women screamed and the men yelled. At latest reports Orr had not been beard from. Asheville Citizen.
