ING EDITOR.
Marriage certificates will be
taken on subscription at this office.
Tuesday one year ago there was
the beginning of great sorrow in the
South. It ia on this date that the
brilliant, bright and progressive
Henry Woodfen Grady passed away.
In another column will be seen an
article, htaded "A Call for 500,000
Sons." Read it. They are the reso
lutions that a sou of a Bohemian
moved to table.
And who's to be State printer?
Why not let the job out to the low
est bidder and require him to give
bond ? What say the brethren, and
what say the legislators ?
Mr. W. E. Christian, who did
some bright and lively editorial
work on the Charlotte Democrat
about one year ago, is noAv editori
ally connected with the Basic City
Advance.
The Charlotte Chronicle speakes
editorially about the use of "pot
metal" in the Charleston Xews and
Courier and in other Southern jour
nals. The chronicle's remarks con
tain more truth than poetry.
The Mecklenburg Times has en
tered upon its third volume. It is
a conservative paper with a hard
working editor. We don't see the
paper often and never see the shin
ing head of it, unless we call. Suc
cess to the Times.
Believing sincerely in the neces
sity for a Reformatory to be estab
lished, it is gratifying to the Stand
ard to see so many endorsements
from snch able papers, as have in the
last ten days advocated establishing
snch an institution.
Tire Asheville Citizen is a first
class, high-toned, hustling, honest
and newsy daily. The reports of
the sessions of the Immigration Con
vention were full, complete and good
goods. Bro. Robinson is a hard
worker, a brainy man, a kind gen
tleman, and looks mighty handsome
in an editor's chair, while N. C.
Cloud, the city editor, is too pretty,
industrious and clever to be anything
but a winner. He's no dude, unless
Al Fairbrother says so.
It seems strange after all these
years in the Senate that just as his
senatorial career is drawing to a
close, Senator Blair should have
shown himself to be a hnmorist of
no man order. He made a personal
explanation in the Senate on Friday
that fairly bubbled over with hu-H
mor. It was about a paragraph in
a newspaper speaking of Mr. Blair's
chauces of becoming a member of
the Cabinet that the explanation was
made.
WAXTS A COOK.
The Durham Globe has made
public the following deal :
"The Globe is pleased to announce
that it has made arrangements to
receive Plain Jim Cook, of Concord,
on subscription. It might be well
to state, however, that he will be re
ceived only on the installment plan,
AX rXKXOffS SHALI.OW.SOn.ED
CRITTER.
The true object of the Inter-State
Immigration Convention is, if it is
anything, to encourage men of capi
tal and energy and brains to come
among ns. To accomplish this, the
Standard thinks it proper and right
and sensible to have them believe
that such immigration is welcome,
and that our gates are wide open.
How, then, could a sane man and a
representative man move to table a
resolution that embodied that wel
come ? Such a monstrocity was to
be seen in the Convention that met
in Asheville.
THE PEMTEXTIARY KHOWIXft.
In another column, the financial
statement of the expenses and earn
ings of the State prison, from the
office of President Faison, for the
quarter ending Nov. 30th, can be
Been. Read it The showing is in
finitely better than in other years.
That the penitentiary is about to be
self-sustaining and making $7,000
over expenses for the last quarter,
are ii;deed encouraging signs. The
fruit of some good legislating two
years ago, and the fastening of loose
screws by the Legislature, can be
seen.
Financially, things are looking
brighter and better. But the moral
condition of the young offenders,
housed up with hardened sinners,
and the lives they will lead when
liberated they concern us and all
who are intended in bettering hu
manity. i
THE Xlt'E AXI RIGHT TIIIXO.
When true, genuine, North Caro
linians say "welcome," they mean
it with a rattling earnestness.
North Carolinians don't look upon
- new comers as "Yankees" and "in
terlopers" (as a once chronic office
seeker and a granny intimated), but
as men, until they prove themselves
otherwise.
When the North Carolina delega
tion to the Asheville Convention
wet and made Al. Fairbrother, of the
Durham Globe, Secretary, though
he had been in the Ssate only eleven
weeks, it did a work better than it
thought Though the Colonel was
qualified for the duties of the posi
tion and discharged them efficiently,
and he, himself, did not expect the
compliment, the selection was a for
tunate one and a four-bagger. It
means this: A stranger comes within
our gates ; he's watched, but not sus
piciously ; he's accorded rights that
all men may expect ; and he's granted
(without formal legal action) all the
privileges of a gentleman and a man,
whether he be from the North, or
from the West, or from a sister
Southern State. Such is the way
North Carolina treats new comers
pithin nr gates I
THE dart man called.
Bro Barringer, of the China
Grove Dart, called to settle with the
boss man of fhis print shop for Sat
urday's editorial. After disclaiming
editorial charge of the paper at this
time, he had the cheek to claim the
cheese and crackers, pnd in the
tussle both agreed to call it a "draw,"
but the brother will never again
have any hair on his head.
. . .
A GREAT RETOLl'TIO.V.
The Standard, if anything, claims
to be conservative on such econom
ical and social questions as "Matri
monial Alliances," but to some the
standard may appear a little slow in
developments in that direction.
Now we disclaim any desire to be
an alarmist, but the reports of scores
of marriages from every section and
preparation in other quarters cer
tainly alarm the Standard in its
even tenor, aud usually calm way of
looking at such matters. Tuesday
morning's Chronicle contained about
five marriage notices and the same
is true of nearly every paper "along
the Potomac." Our Register of
Deeds could not attend the Immi
gration Convention, in Asheville,
because of a great rush on him for
matrimonial license.
To what all this points, what the
state of the country's finance will
be in 1891 and what effect this great
social revolution will have ever the
country at large, the Standard is at
sea.
May all yet be well for us !
GIVING AWAY LAXD.
North Carolina owns a great deal
of land, but at the rate it is being
disposed of, it will soon be deeded
to other parties, and the State will
have but little filthy lucre to show
for it.
The State Board of Education has
just closed a sale with Ex-Lieut.
Gov. Stedman, representing a Real
Estate Agency of Wilmington, for
80,000 acres of lands belonging to
the State Educational fund and
lying in Washington, Hyde and Tyr
rell counties. The price per acve
was 45 cents or about $36,000 for
80,000 acres of land.
There is no immediate cause for
giving away this land, even if now
it is worth nothing for agricultural
purposes. Forty-five cents is not
enough per acre for the poorest land
in the State. Just think the
amount from the Bale of 80,000 acres
of land, divided among the counties
of the State, is only $375.
The Legislature might turn its
eye to the improvement of these
lands, that they may do some good
foi the educational fund of the
State. The State Board has done,
no doubt, the best possible nnder th
circumstances. But was it neces
sary to make a sale at all ? Cer
tainly not, at 45 cents per acre.
Some of the convicts being worked
for the personal interest of some con
tractors and at the expense of the
State, might be transferred to those
lands and put to work in their im
provement. wm
Xo Room?
We have no room for tha coloni
zation of foreign nationalities, and
the establishment of new communi
ties. Winston Daily.
No room! Is the land in North
Carolina all occupied and tilled by
as large a population as it ought to
support ? Why, around Asheville
alone 100 of the best class of market
gardeners might make a profitable
living and raise much for consump
tion here and elsewhere that now
comes in over the railroads.
No room for new communities?
Not for a manufacturing community
that should build up a thriving
town around some unused water
power ? Shall we always Bend away
for the scores of things that might
as well be made at home ?
No room ? Is the editor of the
Winston paper eo crowded? We
were under the impression, as we
looked out over the mountains aud
valleys of North Carolina, that there
was a world of room for the honest
and thrifty and skilled man of what
ever creed or nationality.
We want to see North Carolina
developed. We want to see our
rivers earn their passage. They are
roaring for work to do. We want
our minerals dug out to quicken
trade, to build up towns with the
best of schools, free libraries, fine
public buildings, and all the im
provements of modern cities. In
other word3 we want more people.

And this is good sense. Let all
good people come; and when you
say welcome, let it come from under
your hide and not from your tongue s
end.

On another page the Standard has
a short review of the business houses

writing this the management makes
no charges and expects no pay, nor
was our advertising list consulted.
We have taken the whole town by

May each firm prosper and become

II AXDN OFF, MR. DART!
A mighty silly piece of nonsense
ws printed in the China Grove Dart
in regard to an ordinance passed by
the Commissioners of Concord.
Several reasons exist why the
Standard offers a mild, though posi
tive, reply to some of the statements
made by Bro. Dart
The Standard rises to remark that
an "Editor's Pass" is generally issued,
in a business way, for advertis:ng
the schedule and reduced rates ; atd
it is unnecessary and wrong to write
a half column editorial taffy article
to secure a tass.
The Standard submits that the
editor of the China Grove Dart has
not a particle of business or right to
accuse six honest, conscientious busi
ness men of another town of acting
through wrath and playing the
"baby act," unless he be an attorney
of the railroad and employed, for the
consideration of a little glory, &c, to
defend the ways of a gigantic corpo
ration whose ways are past finding
out.
It is asserted, and can be proven,
that the editor of the China Grove
Dart is not a member of the Inter
state Railroad Commission, nor a
member of the Supreme Court, and
therefore it is believed that he, the
editor, is rather authoritative and not
unlike monarchial persons when
he says: "Now, without saying
whether the Concord people had or
had not cause for complaint," &c.
It is now conceded by all hands
that, had it been known that the
acts of Concord's Commissioners
would have to "pass mus er" before
the Dart man's tribunal and court
of high justice, the proposed ordi
nance would have been carried up to
that court for an opinion before its
passage.
The Standard admits, and we be
lieve that the Co nmissioner3 will
bear us out in the statement, that,
if the deep cuts, curves and a half
dozen buildings had not made a con
dition, the ordinance would have
been unnecessary ; though when the
wav is perfectly clear, the track level
and the road straight, as it is in some
very small towns, a drunken man
need not be "slow" or "sleepy" to
have his life dashed into a thousand
pieces, and a soul hurkd into eter
nity by a train running 45 mile; per
hour.
The editor of the Dart knows
nothing about the traffic here, when
he blindly and ignorantly asserts that
a town that contributes over $35,000
per year in passenger receipts, and
over $120,000 in freight receipts, is
not justified in legislating for the
safety and protection of its citizens
and its visitors
Again, inasmuch as the Dart man,
though a near neighbor, knows noth
ing about the matter in question the
.jtandaid beg3 to inform him that
the Commissioners of Concord are
honest gentlemen, and were acting
for the good and safety of the com
munity, and while they could have
forced" all trains to come to a speed
of four miles per hour, thereby con
suming half an hour in running
through the incorporate limits, they
did not do it, having no desire to be
exacting or to work out the course
of anger, as the Dart man meanly
asserts.
The Dart's figurative arguments
and teanul defense of the Georgia
water melon, rabbits and Virginia's
cabbage being delayed iu transpor
tation, are extremely touching and
pitifully silly.
We would not have written these
words had not justice to honorable
men demanded it. We have nothing
but tender love for the Dart man
and these "few lines are penned" as
a mild reminder that the matter is
none of the Dart's business. As a
testimony of our admiration for the
Dart, love for its editor and no wrath
on our part, if h? comes to the
Standard office, we'll give him a
cushioned chair to sit on, and a
pound of cheese and a poke full of
crackers to eat

the Lnited States is one nation,
bound together by every tie of com

Resolved, That we here issue a
call for 500,000 sturdy sons of toil
and 500,000 manufacturers of the
North and West to make their homes

Resolved, That we recognize no
political East, no politican West, no
political North, und- no political
South. That under the common
banner and in a common country we
pledge ourselves to every honest
effort to the upbuilding of this na
tion of which the South is most
favored by nature and nature's God.

The Concord Standard makes a
good suggestion when it advocates
the appropriation of money sufficient
to establish a HoDse of Correction,
where youthful offenders cculd be
placed out of the reach of hardened
criminals. Boys who are convicted
of crimes and are put in with the low
class of criminals, seldom, if ever,
reform. If a house of this kind were
established, the young class of crim
inals could be led back into the paths
of rectitude, whereas it is now, if a
boy is convicted of a crime and sent
to prison, the association he gets
there, in nine cases out of ten, gives
him an impetus towards a criminal's
baneful life. The suggestion is a
good one and one tre would like to
see acted upon. Lexington Dis

"Pine Rooters."
Ahonfc a vear affo the editor of
this paper invested in a pair of pine
rooters, at a month old, the smallest
pigs imaginable. Not only could
they eat slop from a jug, but could
almost have crept into a jug. We
could have toted them home in the
pockets of our overcoat Tbey were
the smallest specimens of- hoghood
that we ever noticed. This week we
had them butchered,- and we really
believe they would have tipped the
beam at 62 pounds. That we have
got fine pork there is no doubt, but
la!, how little the amount They
cost but a trifle, but it would take a
pen full of 'em to make enough
meat for a big family.
Ypnra iip-o we swore off from this
distinguished breed of swine,. but
catch us napping again, win you i
Now we have washed our hands of
'em we hope forever. We want , a

don't want them related to the cele
brated "pine-rooter" eye four genera-

'; The Strike Becoming Serious.
Nashville. Tenn.. Dec. 18. A
special from Birmingham, Ala.,
says: The coil miners strike as
sumed a serions turn yesterday and
one that threatens to close every in
dustry in this district. The mem
bers of the Amalgamated Associa
tion of Iron and Steel Workers held
a meeting yesterday and passed reso
lutions of 6ympa"by and pledged
support to the strikers. They agreed
to refuse to work with coal mined
by convict or scab miners if the
strikers ask them to do so.
Patrick McBride, one of the ex
ecutive board of the United Mine
Workers of America, arrived here
from Detroit Wednesday night, to
look into the strike. He says if he
cannot settle the trouble he will call
out all iron and steel workers. This
means the closing down of all the
rolling mills, foundries and machine
Ehops, aud three thousand more men
will join the ranks of the strikers.
The strike has already seriously in
jured business, and there seems no
prospect of a settlement.
Advice to Brides.
Don't fix things any more than
you can help.
Don't use coal fire in the summer,
when oil is cheaper, cleaner and
cooler.
Always have everything on the
table or on a small table close at
hand when you sit down to a meal.
Let your common sense interpret
your cook book.
Remember that variety is the best
sauce for appetite.
Always have a clean cloth on your
table, even if yon have burned your
bread or boiled your coffee,
Do not cut more bread than you
need for a meal.
Never serve cold sliced meat for
breakfast
Always have your warmed-over
dishes served as nicely as if they
were original at the tinv.
Remember that punctuality is as
necessary for the housekeeper a3
for the business man. Advance

A Horrible Death.
- Charleston, Dec 19. A horrible
accident occurred on the West Shore
extension of the South Carolina
Railway today by which a young
white man named John Ahrens was
killed. Ahrens ws a train hand,
and while the train was shifting to
a siding he went between the cars,
i. is said, to couple two of them,
although the conductor swears that
there were no cars to be coupled.
Ahrens was caught between the cars
and the coupling pins of one of
them went through his body, the
two bumpers meeting in the man's
body, pinning him there. The
train drew out and the dying man
fell to the ground. He was removed
and notwithstanding his terrible
injuries, lived nearly an hour.
The deceased was quite young and
well known. He has been married
only seven weeks. The verdict was
accidental death.
The Preacher Is Right.
Previous to dismissing the congre
gation at West Market Street church
last night, the pastor called attention
to the practice of certain young
men, standing near the church door
and lining the walk on each side
from the 6treet to the door, of gaz
ing at the young girls of the College
as they made their way each Sabbath
morning to the church, remarking
that by such gazing the gills were
subjected to a trying ordeal. The
speaker said that while walking from
the church a short distance p.head of
some'of the girls he had overheard
them: making remarks about the
ordeal to which they were subjected,
and such remarks as showed how
very trying this gazing habit was to
them, adding that he sincerely hoped
that a knowledge of how afflicting
this habit was would lead to its
speedy abandonment Greensboro

Large Strike In Scotland.
Glasgow, Dec 22. The railway
strikers have so far succeeded in
paralyzing traffic throughout the
district V?ry few trains are run
ning. Pickets of strikers are station
ed at many points trying to induce
the few engine drivers remaining at
work, to. join the ranks of the
strikers. In several instances the
persuasions of the pickets have been
strong enough to win over additions
to the number of men already out
on a strike.
The Lanarkshire strikers are con
ducting their operations with much
vigor, their pickets doing good work.
All mineral and most passenger
traffic trains are already stopped, and
there does not seem to be any pros
pect of an early settlement of the
matters in dispute.

I was reported to the meeting
that about $300,000 worth of stock

This assures for Greensboro at

other points in the South, it will
mark a new era in the history of
North Carolina as it will be the pi

A gentleman who is largely inter

Saturday that a syndicate1 of Vir

THE GREAT HAIR-RESTORER.
The use of various unguents to dress
and beautify the hair is a custom as old
and universal as the race ; but prepara
tions to prevent the hair from falling
out, or for restoring it to its original
color and fullness, seem to be of modern
origin and confined to the limits of the
higher civilization. Probably the fatal
istic and superstitious ideas of the
ancients and of moat turhornim
would forbid their interfering with what
occma iu ue me course ol nature, in
thinning the locks and sprinkling them
with gray, as life advances toward the
close.
The ancient Hebrew poetically termed
White hair "a orown'of glory," and so it
Is when it gracefully adorns tho brown
of the aged. But when a person in the
full vigor of life becomes gray, his gray
hair, so far from being a" crown of glory,
is rather an indication of weakness and
premature decay. What may be ad
mired in "John Anderson, my Jo,
John" at eighty, is to be deplored in
John Anderson at thirty or forty.
It has been observed that early bald
ness is more common now than former
ly. "Whatever may be the cause of the
early loss of hair, there are few but
would avoid it if possible. Some attempt
to conceal the loss f their hair by
brushing what is left over the vacant
places; others brave out their misfor
tune, as did the fox when he lost his
tail; but the majority of the "too pre
vious" ones look anxiously about for
something that will restore lost youth
fulness and hide their tell-tale phreno
logical deficiencies. For this purpose,
nothing has as yet been discovered that
surpasses Ayer's Hair Vigor.
We do not pretend that this prepara
tion will cause hair to grow on a scalp
that has been denuded for years and
polished like a billiard ball, but without
claiming for it any more than its Just
due, we assert that it certainly promotes
the growth of hair, restores color to faded
and gray locks, heals humors, keeps the
scalp cool, prevents dandruff, and im
parts to the hair a silky texture and a
lasting fragrance. It will not stain the
skin or clothing. Though Ayer's Hair
Vigor has been before the public many
years, it is still in greater demand than
any similar preparation a convincing
proof of its superior merits and exten
sive popularity. cr. : tg
