On Friday morning she was thought much improved" Her son, Mr. Chas., wa3 in town for med icine on Friday but when he returned home he feund hei critically ill and sinking rapidly. All the fond at tention of children and the unceas ing efforts of neighbors availed nothing. At 2:30 she calmly and peaci fully passed away. Mrs. Harris was a South Caroli nian. Ihr husband, W. S. Harris, was very prominent in county affairs, highly esteemed and received many honors. Mrs. Harris was a most excellent and amiable woman, a fond mother and an esteemed neighbor. She was C-3 years of age. The visitation of death in this family lms been frequent. Five years ago in this month and within one week, a son and the only daugh ter died.

The many friends who have heard it were shocked, and those who have. not heard it will be pained to learn f the death of Mr. Walter W. At kins, which occurred at the homc-of his motherin-law Sunday morning at :' o'clock. Mr. Atkins was widely and pleasantly known in Concord and Cabarrus county. He was at one time bookkeeper and manager or U. A. Brown's store. No one met LI in but to like him, and all who canie in contact with him, either in business or social circles, at once formed an esteem for him which never died. The funeral was preached by Kev. rrancis J. Murdock from the text: "The blood of the Lamb taketh away the sins of the world, His remains were laid to rest in the Cemetery at St. Mary's Episcopal clmrchjwhere a large congregation of Borrowing friends and gnet stricken relatives had irathered to pay their last tribute of respect to hi3 memory. About ten months ao Mr. Atkins w:t3 married to Miss Mamie Harris. of Rowan county, and his early death makes it all the more sad, he being only about twentv-nine years old. To those who mourn the loss of a friend and relative and to the heart broken young wife we extend our sympathy. When death, the reaper, suatches from our side our host friends it i3 hard to realize that it is all for the best, but Ave should bow submissively to the will oi nun who doeth all things well.

Wiley Ludwig, a royal good fellow and a fine farmer of No, 4, lives at home and has nice things around him. He has eighteen vari eties of grapes. The Standard acknowledges the receipt of a gallon or the "JNorton Virginia variety. The grape is not quite as large as the Concord grape, but the bunch is larger and fuller. They are fine for eating and for pies. It is claimed that they don't rot We have nevei seen grapes that equalled them. Mr. II. C. Howell, of No. 10, was here Saturday. Mr. Howe'l was ap pointed to solicit funds for the Con federate monument and has thus far secured the handsome sum of $75 and has not worked near all of of his township yet No. 10 is good township, and her people will never cease to honor the brave men who wore the grey, though their cause was lost Let the good work go on, and we will htve a monu ment that we can proudly point to as a memory of the deeds of the brave, and an honor to these who contributed to its erection. The colored men who have assenf- bled in Raleigh today say they are going to split the G. O. P. wide open. Lumber is being hauled here from Stanly and Union counties. Our town is on a good, solid boom which win not die down. The small boys have invented a new kind of wheel machine to play with. Every box lid and piece of soft wood is used by them.

Correll Bros, will give a handsome silver butter dish as special premium for the best pound of butter exhib ited at the Fair. Who will get it. The Teport about the crops being better than ever is said not to be so in the southern portion of the county. One man who lives down there told ns that there would not be more than half a crop made. While there may be some sections where the crops are not so good as might be expected, we believe that the average is far better than ha3 been for many years. During the first of the week the eight year old son of Rev. Jason C. Moser, of llicxery, met with quite a serious and painful accident. The little fellow was playing with a 8 mall air rifle (unloaded) when by some means it fired, sending a bullet through his bowels. The result of the wound is not yet known. Mr. Moser is a son of Rev. Timothy Moser, of No. 8 township of this county. Esq. J. F. Willeford will not be able to manipulate freight cars on the btreet Railway for some time, or marry a couple on Sunday morn ing.

Squire Jesse bears up pretty well under his afflic tion. Mr. Ben. Burleyson rolled in Sat urday with a new bale of cotton. Mr. Ludwig just did carry off the honor.

The Mayor was on his bench again last night, and the State will get to wind up the proceedings which he started. Sam Boger, col ored, went to Mr. Corl, one of our livery stable men, and hired a horse and buggy from him, to go, as he said, to Mr. Key Morrison's. Instead of going, however, he turned the horse over to Walter Alexander and Henry Plunkett colored, and they drove the horse to Davidson College and back in seven hours. It is at least twenty miles up there, and by getting a little out of the right, could be made twenty-hve miles. When they returned the horse was almost fagged out, and a great deal of work was necessary, It was for this that they were before the Mayor, and on failing to give bail, Henry Plunkett was lodged in jail to await the next court. Copal Gnve Items. Our town and community are healthy; only two sick people that we have heard of Miss J. A- Misen heimer has been quite sick for a few days, and Mr- Marcus Palmer, who has been in delicate health for some time, is fctill very unwell The cool nights are making the cotton open rauidl v. and the 'possum hunters have already lighted their torches. Mr. D. P. Pickler thinks his sor chum crop will yield at least four hundred gallons, and ho has bought a new cane mill and evaporator to make it up with. Mrs. Maggie Lowrance and daugh ter, of Yorkville. S. C, who have been visiting at Mr. J. S- Ewins's. left last Tuesday for their homo in the "Palmetto State." Some boar del s are still at the Springs Mr. Henry Kendall, of Wadesboro, came up to see how his family was getting along. He has returned, but Mrs. Kendall remains at this delightful resort. The cool weather reminds us that Fall is near. The farmers are very busy sowing oats. The cotton and corn crops in this section are 'ookine fine. Mr. J. Eugene Ewing will go to Georgia next week, where he will travel for the Lader Oil Company, of Cleveland, U. MiBenheimer & Lents' Springs are not very largely attended now, Only Wadesboro, Salisbury, Con cord and Mt. Pleasant are repre sented. The parsonage at Bethel Church. near Copal - Grove, has been very handsomely painted- The color is a steel gray As much as the Alliance has fig' ured in politics in this county, they have not taken any measures against Senator Vance as far as I know. The township conventions will be held over the county the coming Saturday. All of the citizens are at libertv to attend. Mr. Philip Ridenhour's new house will soon be completed. It is said to be the future house of his better half. The Canipineetinic. . Those who went to Hickory Grove campmeeting Sunday were up early and o the road some in bug gies and some p. hacks. A Stakd- ard reporter was in the crowd. The road is a long one and rough and dusty. Like all trips,'this one had its accidents and its joys. The ac cidents did not outweigh the joys, though, for everybody seemed to be a good humor. While rounding a cure .on one of the hills between here and there one of the wheels of Mr. Penick Query's buggy entirely unspoked itself. For some time it seemed that Query and hi3 girl would have to take it time about riding the horse to get back, but just now one of those brilliant con ceptions, which sometimes comes to fellow in an emergency, flashed across his mind, and Penick remem bered that he was near his boyhood home; he remembered too, that, though all the folks were gone, an old time buggy with a gold rocker bed and high dashboard, was stand ing in the old buggy house. He soon adjusted his harness to fit the rangements of the long ago and proceeded on his way. While he was unfortunate in some respects he was extremely fortunate in having ms dinner in a box that would hold his weight. He placed the box in the foot of his old buggy, and when he wanted to see how his horse was getting along, he would get up on the box so that he could see over the dashboard. But that was only one of the mis fortunes of a camp-meeting trip, and no one can help it. When we ar rived at the camp ground we found it difficult in getting a place to hitch, so crowded w?as the whole hill with horses and buggies. Everything in the shape of a vehicle that would hold a man or woman was made use of. Even Wadsworth's big transfer wagon was there. The crowd was estimated to be about six thousand, some guessed more. The great big arbor was full and the grove was full aud every log and bench on the whole grounds were full.' A large stand for the choir had been erected which would seat about two hundred people aud two organs are used. ' Mr. Arthur Butt has charge of the music, and it was fine. Dr. Pool, of Charlotte, preached at 11 o'clock on the subject of missions, and it is useless for us to say it was highly instruct ive, in fact comments are out of place. The reporter was then fortu nate enough to get to' help eat a fine dinner. Rev. T. S. Ellington preach ed at 3 o'clock on the subiect of prayer. . To give an idea of the water that it took to quench the thirst of the crowd we can give yon the follow ing facts: There are two wells and one spring there and they were all so muddy as to rentier the water unfitior use. Five miles this side of the camp-ground we stopped at a well to w.ter our horse, and it, too, was too muudy to drink. This was all caused by so many people using the water. Taking it all around this is the most successful camp-meeting they have ever had, and their sacrifices speak well for this enterprising con gregation. Good Walking. There is one man in this county, who, it is said, was once in a hurry, and walked to Albemarle, Mt. Pleas ant, Salisbury, Concord, and back home in one day. We can't say as to the truth that is in that report, but we do know that that man walks mighty fast Since the Teachers' Institute has been in session here we haye run across a teacher who perhaps can't make as good time for one day as the gentleman referred to in the above made, but he did some good walking just the same. He Ifves in the southern part of the county and when he made such a record for his swift-footedness he was teaching five miles from home. But he could not think of not seeing his wife and children a whole week for the sake of a five miles' walk. He boarded at home; he walked to the school house every morning and back every evening. He taught eight months, and in that time, of course, walked 1600 miles. This teacher is a good one, stands high in his pro fession, and has a heap of "git-up- and-git about him. The Chance They Stand. There are thousands of men in America who make weekly deposits of one dollar with the Louisiana State Lottery. If they only knew what a small chance they stood of winning anything at all any man withcommon sense would never send another dollar there while he lived. Bv careful calculations it seems that when you invest one dol lar that you stand one chance in three ' of winning 85 cents, one chance in nineteen of winning $1.75, and one chance in 1,237 of winning $4.25. Yet in the face of these figures men will continue to be swindled and anxiously lay down their money at another man's game, The Louisiana State Lottery is one of the most gigantic gambling ma chines in the world, and money is accumulating every day by the thou sands of dollars. Men allow their purses to be drained time after time and look still to their robbers for a fortune. Nearly every person who had to travel by way of the shell road Tues day went armed with, either a gun or a pistol. The murder and rob bery of Mr. Nathan Failes has added greatly to the terror created by the several previous robberies on the mgnway leading out or tne city. and even the citizens are now afraid to ride beyond the city limits.
