CABARRrS AND VXIOJT RAILWAY
A Railroad from Concord to Monroe.
Sometime aeo the Standard spoke
of a connecting railway liue between
Cjnord and Monroe. A few dtys
ago the assurance of something
good was given.
Parties from Concord have had
introduced fn the Legislature a bill
incorporating a company for the
building of a railroad from Concord
to Monroe. The committee, to
which it was referred, has reporttd
it back to the Senate favorably.
There is no reason to believe that
tha bill will not be passed.
In the event that the bill is passed,
the road will doubtlessly be built
because of a determination to relieve
this section of the burdens inflicted
upon it by a monopoly of the worst
kind.
That a competing line is needed
can not be doubted y a man with a
spoon full of brains, and that out
rageous and discriminating charges
are collected by our only railroad
fiom our people cannot be denied by
anv one with an ounce of sense.
The man that can not see these
advantages taken of our people, is
blind stone blind to what is going
on around him.
If the charter is granted, the roai
will most sssuredly be built; then
let the monopoly grind on, and let
its app'aiuLrs go their way.
Ml. Pleasant Item.
According to announcement, the
Philahvthiaa Literary Society of
North Carolina College, celebrated
its thirty-fifth anniversary in Holy
Trinity chuioh Wednesday night,
llth iust. The church was com
fortably filled, and during the entire
exercises, which lasted nearly two
and a half hours, gave its undivided
attention. The music was furnished
by the Concord string band, and
that means music of a high order.
We hope the band will have occasion
to visit us of ten.
The programme was carried out
in full, each participant doing credit
to himself and the society. With
out reflection upon any, it is just to
say that the discussion of the ques
tion, " Should there be Educatioual
Qualifications for Voting in the
United States ?" affirmative, J. A.
Graham, negative, W. J. Boger, was
exceptionally fine. The exercises
closed with a very interesting his
torical oration by JL L. Patterson,
who, when he speaks, always says
something, and says it with a vim.
Let tn have more of such exercises.
DlXTRA.
Two Item from the Monroe Reg-later.
We learn that Mary Dunlap, an
old colored woman, died a few days
ago, just across the line, in Chester
field county, S. C. She claimed to
be 109 years old at the time of her
death. She was a "native of Anson
county until her death, when she re
moved to Chesterfield. The proba
bility is that if she had remained in
Union county she would have liyed
to a ripe old age.
The jury in the case vs -Bob
Marsh, charged with murder, re
turned a verdict Tuesday evening of
"not guilty." J udge Merrimon took
occasion to say to those present that
the criminal law in North Carolina
as administered was far from what
it should be, and not in accord with
the wishes of the people; that so
long as men understood that their
own families or relatives could testify
in their behalf and their evidence be
taken against that of entirely disin
terested parties, we could expect
uothing more than for men to resort
to deadly weapons oc the slightest
provocations. In his opinion the
three cases tried in this court were
all guilty to some extent and should
have been punished as examples to
others that the law must be enforced.
He did not mean to reflect on this
jury in any way, hut simply made
these remarks to put them on their
guard Ehould they ever serve on
anoiner jury.
m mmm
Smoking In II eat en.
One of the elders of the Second
Baptist church, up on Third street,
is strongly opposed to the use of
tobacco, and never fails to see any of
the church members that he finds
indulging in what he considers a sin
ful habit. Meeting an aged brother
he other day, with a very strong
smelling old clay pipe in his mouth,
be accosted him:
"Br udder Tnomas, does you be
lieve that nothin unclean kin entar
de kingdom?"
" I does, brudder."
" Den you can neber enter, for you
bref smells worse nor a slaughter
house."
"Dat may be, brudder, but when
I goes to hebbin' I 'spects to leave
my bref behind me "
And tbe aged man passed on,
peacefully smoking, while the elder
gazed after him in a dazed way that
was painful to see. Washington
Post.
AMleep for Nearly a Year.
An Amboy, 111., dispatch says:
Miss Grace Gridley has jnst awaken
ed from a most remarkable and pro
longed trance. As the result of re
ligious excitement she went into a
comatose condition nearly a year ago,
and continued in the state up to the
present time, taking no food during
all that t:me except a little in liquid
form. She has now regained the use
of her muscles and is in a fair way
to recover. She says she was con
scious all the while, but was unable
to make the fact known to her
friends. She repeats conversations
which occured in her hearing during
the trance.
The Standard wonders if Miss
Gracie was a "Sleeping Beauty."
ii ! tm
You would do a very foolish thing
if you throw off your friend because
you have found him wanting at a
single poiut. Friends are not so
plentiful that you can afford to deal
with in that way. More than this,
the man whom you about to throw
off may have a thousand virtues.
Should not these plead for mercy?
Perfection does not dwell under the
sun. Little as you may think of it,
there are a few weak spots in your
own character.
