It. U. A. IV.hpa.v, July 111, 181)1. E.iivria'.s ia Daily Standard, 16th.) WHAT IS Niri't'EKN? Since the fotui Jation of the world, in till the staged of civilization and barbarism, in every inhabited uuar ter if the globe, man has trail: wi'Jiin himself an altar where he worshipped, daily, constantly. It is h 'touliitrity of human nature to liuld in mind some kind of life for h::n?elf. Each person has his idea ufirreatness, of life, of duty, of suc- j ) soon us the child learns his l.r.ver and his strength, he plans and he seeks, all along through the sta:e- of his training and develop ing' into a person of a man, fie Tihiii-aiid trivets, lie has his ideas, his aims, his wishes the goal of his itiuh.iion is the one attraction he i.ur.ses fondly and above all others. At one stage he pictures himself the pieaeher, for his mother said he was to be the preacher of the family. At one stage ne is the pohticiau, the one whose name is upon the tongue's r:,d of the public, for he has heard his father discussing the political heroes cf the county, the Stat the nation. At one stage he fancies the Lie of a detective, a cow boy, a r..ugh, a Wild Bill of the West. At de stage he brings his fondest :ojes to the possession of a nious Ueiie and a "girl." At another sta.'e he enters life he's at sea, he's any here that circumstances. Beem to" lead. At any rate, most boys hive as many ideis as years on their heads when" reaching maturity. Ai.d but few laud where their fath ers and mothers had hoped they would. l'.u: uitn select callings, vocations. They drift out, wander, row, tussle with waves and encounter storms. They identify themselves with the tinus and fall into some channel, either from choice, circumstance or just eo many get there by the lat ter cause Hut they run their days, the live out their lives, they shuffle off this mortal coil, they go dn. But what, of the end"' What comes up from the crooks, the twists, the kn its and the snags in the speckled l.fe and career 'i Has i . been s sue ess? Who is the judge? What is success? Possibly every man believes, in a measure, that he is a sucess. "A" is pronounced a euccess by one class t'f reputable persons, and another .-ay that "A" is a failure he's not in their ring. Everybody has his on idea ef success no two alike. Prejudice a .d narrow-mindedness sees failure and rascality in the ac tions, lives and careers of all who are not compassed in their own nar row gtiage. Recently a merchant, a physician, a n rircd farmer and a clerk held differ-i,t views a3 to what is success. ii.iir views, running an me way ;iui religion, including every '!h. -re of life dow u to raising ground i were radically different. So it ei-ry where and with all it tle-h-.ds a great deal on how u man is '".lt and arranged to gauge his idea "f Siiceos. h; discovery : Whe.i Columbus, ty a --il'-ri t, ran against American h-i thought he was asucces and J"t liis was a blunder, and the niaii "f treatment accorded him snows his cotemporaries sized him ' !' lint now, 4U0 years afterwards, u" or!d places to his credit, in Uu.ry, the honor of this continent's seovery, named however for some eUe. in politics, one vast of men thought Cleveland a kJ his own b tale thought so, -11 1 ur years a Iter wards they said ""''.;!

Who is 'v'1- He made failures (like all I'"'u in some things, and not in ,J '" . One class say he is a suc f " another say not. What would jrge Washington be coul4 he live as he was when in his glory ? i'i educational matters men and VOL. IV. NO. 28. women differ widely. A teacher who has prepared hundreds of boys for useful lives is said, by some, "to be a failure. Is he ? (While we write we have a name in mind) To our knowledge, and idea of success,he has succeeded in every case where due time was given, and today in telligent men say he is a failure, a miserable and inexcusable excuse for a teacher. Is ho a success ? In war, the Union army came out on top ana its uenerai aiterwarus became president of the United States. All know the history of Cen. Grant. Was he a success? Lee and Jackson, the central figures of the Confederate army they were whipped and. neither were after wards honored in the way Grant was. In point of success, how do the three men compare? There are just as many criterions for sue ess as there are'ipecial ac complishments and tastes. The society man recognizes success in the life of any who obey the code of laws prescribed for the social circles. There are successes in the political world but to the outside world they are failures. The labor ing man has his idea of success. The fellow that is clawing, rooting around and trying to gain filthy lucre by any and all means, is at his own judgement altar a success and he sees hundreds of failures that will hustle off this mortal coil with as bright prospects as the fellow that is trying to get the world. Some men's idea of success is the gaining of money ; others in literary persuits ; others in humane and charitable acts ; others in reaching some proud point in a political life ; others in being comfortable and so on down the catulogue. He that gets the most pleasure comfort and. does the most good, when the vote is put, must be found very popular. IT ISA CONDITIO. It is but little shor; of a revolu tion that now exists in this Ameri can nation. There is a condition existing that is not a phantom one that lives, burns and gnaws. The enthusiast has possibly painted it in too loud colors to fall within the bounds of truth and consistency, yet that there is trouble, uneasiness, wane and hardship in the land among the masses, cannot be denied by any honest man. What is the cause and who are to blame for this condition? Many have sought to answer, but such answers, as have been given are uot satisfac tory to all, not even to those who espouse the cause of the reformers. If tne capitalist makes money fast and easy and saps up the courage aud sife of the laboring masses, why the capitalist is not to be censured, provided he stays within the bounds of law. It's his business to be active and wide-awake. Man should not be cursed if he makes money fast, easv and legitimately. iut when a few get rich, get control of immense wealth, simply on account of their particular vocation, and hundieds of thousands grow poorer day by day, there is something wrong. There is something wrong with systems, with the character of our legislation. There are some farmers who do uot work hard, we admit, but the vast maiority struggle. A farmers life may be independent it's in name alone. He's subject to at tacks bv worms and chinch bugs, to frosts, floods and droughts, to fickle markets controlled by the mischiev ous hands of blood thirsty men. The farmer independent why he's subject to every power, force and in fluence. The farmer independent why he's the picked of all the pick ed. He works fewer days in the year than does the merchant, the mechanic, the preacher, the teacher, the editor or the money lender, but his work is the kind that tries blood, tries courage, tries bone aud sinaw aud storms his very constitutional niike up. t'he farmer has a poor lot, a miserable job aud a wretched life, in these days of monopoly, of trusts, combines and other Satanic intluences. But he has company lots of it. We, here in communities like this are in the same boat. We feel every stuggle, every hardship that the farmer encounters. The mechanic, by the peculiar training is unfitted for any duty except that handles tools and such the farmer flickers and struggles, the mechanic becomes idle and breadless. The farmer has poor receipts and poor returns; that means dirty books for merchauts, sleepless nights aud possibly closed doors. We are all in the eame boat, yes we are. There is a mistaken idea, that the merchants are getting rich, some may but they are few. There are some miguty poor business men, they taste the f ruits of hard times every mail that comes and they toil and lay awake and long for some thing better some light, comfort and ease. The crop of 18'JO was abundant, here and elsewhere. How is it now? What's the condition? Money is scarcer than for years with every body. There are reformers ueeded; they are needed for every class. There is no need for the business man and laboring man of this coun try to be divided. They are in need of reforms. What will help the farmer, must help the business and professional men. Wrhy any conten tion, why clashing of words aud arguments? We are in the same boat. The business man and the laboring man cannot separate they are dependent one upon the other. Balzac's statute will be put in the place of the Palais Kovale Paris. TIIK ARIZONA lill'KEK. How it Win That Hank KnrllM Re Keinciiibered III .SubNorlit ion. Personal We never speak of ourself in the column of our own paper when we can possibly avoid it It is not in good taste for any editor of a great journal to do so. We shouldn't do so n this occasion if not forced to in order to set cer tain rumors at rest. About a year ago Major A. Hoy Dudley struck this town with his family. He subscribed for the Kicker and all went well for a time. He was made assistant county clerk, and it was not until he began to get drunk and light bis cigars with deeds and mortgages that we had anything to say. lie felt revenge ful for our remarks, and in order to get even with us gave a grand party one night last week and cut us dead. Not only that, but he bragged of it and so did his wife. The idea wa3 to beli tie and degrade us in a social way, but we don't think any one will try it on again. Wre telegraphed up to Joilet that the Major was here, and day before yesterday he was taken back to serve out the other two years of his service. We unders and that his wife is furious because we also learned that she used to perform in a beer-hall concert in Philadel phia, but we can't help it. They set out to slay and got slayed, and must nuke the best of it. We never attack any one, but if stepped on we always seek to make it hot for the steppist. The Other Side We under stand that Hank Curtis is telling everybody in town that we tried to murder him the other day be ause he refused to renew his subscription to the Kicker. There may be a few people in town who don't know that Hank is he greatest liar in Arizona, and for their benefit we will give our side of the story. We met Hank on Apache avenue and told him that his subscription had expired, lie claimed to be so hard up that he could not renew. We advised him to take less whisky and more Kicker, and he received it in a good natured way. We have a habit when talking with a man on the street of putting our hands on his shoulders and pushing him back ward. It simply arises from our earnestness and is generally un derstood that way. Hank, however, pretanded that he thought we were going to assault him, and he reached for his gun. Before he could get it we had him covered and he gave us a dollar to renew his subscription aud begged our pardtn for being so hasty. That's all there was to it, and he is very silly to go around lying about the matter. We. hall See We understand that the court-house ring, which has vainly tried to use this paper as an organ, has declared that we shall never hold an office in this town. It may be proper for us, in view of this declaration, to define our posi tion. We are fitted by nature and education to make the best mayor this town ever had or ever will have if we don't get iL We want the office. It properly belongs to us, because we have the education to grace it. If we were mayor and the governor came here he would be re ceived in a manner to do him proud, and to make our own people proud of its mayor. All our mayors for five years past have been a set of drunken and ignorant galloots whom every deceut man was ashamed of. It is time for a change. It is time a decent, honest man like us wa3 put at the head of municipal affairs, and we say plainl that we mean to get there. If the ring sees fit to oppose us the members thereof must abide the consequences. As to the city printing, that will of course come to the Kicker, and there will be considerable job work to be done; that, however, is of secondary importance. What the people want is a sober, honest, educated man one even lit to grace the halls of congress or to hold down the chair of a governor. They have found such a man in us, and we shall be nominated and elected without doubt. X. Y. World.

A private letter from Pineville, Js. C, says, people in that section are much excited over the approaching visit of Kvangelist Leitch, who is to conduct a nieetir.r there soon. The folks there are largely strict Pres byteriansand Associate Presbyterians aud are not supposed to be in sym pathy with the methods employed by Leitch. What will be the result remains to be seen. It was found by the Blackwells Tobacco factory, at Durham, that the services of several hands were not needed. The management, in dismissing them, preseuted them with a check for an extra months wages. This is clever. CONCORD, N. C, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1891 LITTLE DROPS OF Tnr.Plteb Turpentine and Otber Tr neei rruu nru Oxford Day : The city commis sioners this afternoon elected A. A. Hicks Mayor of Oxford, to fill out the late L. G. Smith's unexpired term. Heudersou Gold Leaf: Crops are feeling the want of rain. To bacco, cotton, and corn are sorry as general thing and the outlook at present is anything but encouraging. Montgomery Vidette: The Sam out ore from a recently discovered vein at what is known as the old California mine. The ore is re ported to be worth about $3G per ton. Henersonville Times: Mr. W. H. Thomas, a cabinet workman of this place, h is inveuted a crate for shipping cabbage, apples, potatoes, ets., to market It is in the shape of a barrel, and is better than any thing we have seen in that line, besides being easy to make and costing no more than the crates used heretofore. Wilson Advance: On last Satur day ut Mr. John F. Badgers' store in this county, there was a chicken fight and a large crowd was piesent. Mr. Cas. Page and a negro whose name we have been unable to learn, got into a difficulty. The negro got a shovel handle and started for Page. Page told him not to come any farther, but the negro still ad vanced, and Page shot him, the ball penetrating his side. The wound is a painful, though not a serious one. Mount Holly News : The wheat crop has been saved and the crop is very good. The corn crop is nearly all "laid by," and with grand pros pects, and nearly every farmer you meet is bragging on his cotton. The prospects now are bright. Mr. G. M. Sbives informs us that Mr. J. P. Caldwell, of Stanley Creek, has a chicken that has four legs. The two legs that it does not use are fully developed and are just inside of the ones on which it per ambulates, and it keeps the toes closed up. The chick is about five weeks old and i3 lively is a cricket The Mexican lnle on Honieuack. The Mexican swell rides on a saddle worth a fortune. It is loaded with silver trimmings, and hinging over it is an expensive serape, or Spanish blanket which adds to the magnificence of the whole. His queer shaped stirrups redolent of the old mines. His briddle is in like manner adorned with metal in the shape of half a dozen big silver plates, and to his bit is attached a pair of knotted red coid reins, which he hold3 high up and loose. He is dressed in a black velvet jacket fringed and embroidered with silver ; and a huge and expensive hat perched on his head, is tilted over one ear. His lens are encased in dark, tight fitting breeches, with silver trim mings down the side seams, but cut so as, in Bummer weather, to unbut ton from the knee down and flap aside. His spurs are silver, and heavy and costly, and fitted to buckle around his high cut heel. Under his left leg is fastened a broad bladed an I beautiful enrved sword, with a hilt worthy a prince of the blood. The seat of this exquisite is the perfect pattern of a clothes-pin. Leaning against the cantle, he stetches his legs forward and out ward, with heels depressed in a fash ion which reminds one of Sydney Smith's saying that he did not ob ject to a clereyman riding, if only he rode very badly and turned out his toes. It is the very converse of riding closing to your horse. In what it originates it is hrd to gueea, unless bravado. The cowboy, with au equally short seat and long stir rups, keeps his legs where they be long, and if his leg is out of per pendicular it will be so at the rear. Col. T. A. Dodge in Harper's Magazine.

The lose money in circulation would not feed the country two days. Thi3 is a fact. Nearly every body is in the same boat. The usually well-to-do-man has a fiat pocket book, that needs no guarding as well as hi9 usually hard-run neighbor. But there is some con solation. The $11,441.00 to be re turned, at an early day, as the direct tax money; and the issuing of $23,000 worth of bonds, which will be quite early, and the unearthing of several more hidden treasures, there seems reasons for a new lease on life.

When it was found that the old 12 inch pipe was not sufficient or strong enough to deliver sufficient water, the directors wisely tdetermined a once to repl ice this pipe with larger, the new 20 inch pipe. It is true that the ele ments and the season conspired to delav the work the unduly long rainy season in the beginning of the summer, then when the weather cleared, the fanners, upon whom the management had to rely for their hauling, had to work their crops. It is due to the continued and zealous application of the man ager, Mr Judd, and to his able, earnest, untiring and vigilant atten tion, that the work has progressed so well. When once again they commence to hydraulic we look for this mine to surpass itself for fine nuggets and rich veins. From our local observation and knowlege of the mine we certainly expect to see this mine making handsome returns and produce an abundance of the yellow metal. Success to the Parker and its efficient manager. Salisbury Herald. THEY UKT MAD OVER A HOG. A Shot Gun Aimed at a Negro Strike allorse'n JawM. F.

Teter rais ed his gun, both hammers cocked, and fired, but the load went through tuc jaw vl une or nis norses ana missed the negro. Both loads were discharged, and Teter jumped off tne wagon and used tne gun stock over another, felling him to the ground. During this time the third one struck Teter a severe blow over the shoalder with a hoe. before any other damage was done, the contending parties were separa ted and further (immediate) trouble was averted. Papers were issued for the arrest of Ben, Caleb and Albert Archibald, and the case comes up before Esq. Alexander in No. 1. Unless some thing is done, further trouble is an ticipated. His Penaion Xever Came. Thos. O. Godsey, of Hopewell. died Wednesday at the advanced age 97 years. Mr Godsev was a veteran. of the Revolutionary. He was with. Jackson at the battle of New Or leans in 1815. Mr. Godsey was for years trying to get a pension but he never succeeded, and never until recently was the matter explained. Some weeks ago he received a letter from Washington, stating that his pension had been raised. This meant of course, that some one had been drawing his pension for him and appropriating it all these years and he hud been living in poverty, while the money due him is being drawn by some swindler.

But for the timely action of Miss Dillie Austin on last Sunday night in grasping a lighted lamp with the flame playing around the oil, and hurling it outside from her moth er's parlor, we would perhaps have had a serious accident to record in stead of a broken lamp.

Last Wednesday morning, Henry Safrit, of No. 6, so ex-Sheriff Propst informs us, started out to mow some grass. - He hitched to his mower his line mare and a young animal never before worked to a machine. So soon ai Safrit threw his machine into gear, it frightened the young animal and both dashed off. Safrit used his best power to check them, but the lines breaking, Safrit was thrown out The horses ran about 150 yards and the bar coming in contact with a stump, a sudden stop was given throwing the mare back on the knives. Her hmd feet were fearfully cut the leaders being severed, she stood not on her hoofs j but on the back part of her legs. At first Mr. Safrit concluded to kill her (worth $140) but his brother Juck Safrit offered to catch up the leaders and sew up the wounds &c. It was done, the ropes that bound her down were removed and there shewa3 left On Friday she was walking around in pretty good shape, with fair prospects of a speedy and permanent healing of her wounds. A Merry Evening, and 10.40 lor Charity. The entertainment on Thursday night was a complete success. The Droeramme was one of the best furnished at any of onr dime con certs for a lone time. The "Mock Marriage" which was a novel fea ture, called forth tremendous ap plause and was the occasion of un limited laughter. We could not have believed that anything in peti coata could look so very manly, as the handsome groom and grooms men. Miss Laura Smith made i most demure and blushing bride, while Mis3 Nannie Cannon, though more smiling and self posessed, than the regulation igroom, played her part well. The ceremoney a ludicrous one was performed by Miss Rebecca Duval in a very hap py style, and ten of our most popu lar youag ladies were the attending couples. The sonars and recitations which followed were greatly enjoyed. Those by our young ladies, just re turned from school, called forth many complimentary comments. We congratulate the young ladies upon the success which crowned their efforts. Tbe Women at Durham, After a tiresome, dusty ride in good company, we reached Durham on schedule time. The white rib boners of Durham met us at ths sta tion with carriages, and in a very quiet, systematic way soon had us assigned to pleasant homes. Unso licited the handsome Trinity Metho dist church was tendered the conven tion, and the choir of the same, led by Miss Southgate, furnishes inspir ing music. The address of our president, Mrs. Mary C. Woody of Guilford College, was a fine paper, setting forth the meaning of the W. C. T. U. In it she thanked God for the many blessings which have come to us through the year, and among them for the courage of our enemies, who met us squarely and openly. Very fine welcomes were extended ns through Mr. James Southgate for the city, and Mrs. Shaw for the Un ion, responded to in very happy style by Mrs. Kimmar, of Hickory. After these Mrs. Barny delivered her address on "Fact and Fancy." It was a treat an argument for true manhood an! right principle, based on the story of the Hebrew children who refused to bow to the image. She held her audience in rapt atten tion for over an hour, and the flu ency and ease with which she spoke really rested one, and made one for get the heat, dust and weariness of the day. Every one should remember that the County Fair will be held on Sept 16, 17, and 18. Get your ex- h ibit ready.

Whatlt Coats to RaUe allalc ol Col I oil Some time ago the Standard inti mated that it cost about G cents per pound to raise cotton. Since then we have had parties to take issue with us. Among others was C. J. Goodman, of No. 4, who began dis cussing the matter. Mr. Goodman soon got us out of the brag patch the paterfamilias furnished us while yet at home. When you get out into the possible average, it is quite du fereut Here is an estimate of the cost of a 500 pounds bale of cotton, raised on two acres of ground : Preparing the land and ploughing. !? o 70 Hoing 3 00 400 lbs. fertilizer 5 00 Picking (1C00 lbs.) 8 00 Hauling to gin 1 00 Bagging and ties o0 Ginning 2 00 Interest and taxes 3 00 Total 28 55 This estimate is net made on a horse eating $1.25 per bushel corn, and such fancy figures for other things. If raised on rented land, the cost is still more, and in the esti mate no account is taken for the wear and tear of stock, utensils, man and his clothes. If he gets 8 cents, he receives $40 for his cotton, or a profit of $1 1.45. The cost of rais ing and marketing this cotton is about 5 7-10 cents per pound. There's no Prince of Wales in Concord. The Motz boys, in Lincolhton, by the preliminary trial, have been re turned to jail without bail.

Coltrane, of Concord, infused radiant and felicitous sunlight into Wilson's brightest social circles last week. "THE BEST." It is easy to say ot anything, especial ly ot a medicine, that it ia "the best; but to show the reason of its superiority to the satisfaction ot the public, may bo quite another matter. Vhen we affirm, however, that Ayer's Sarsaparllla ia superior to any other blood medicine, we make no inconsiderate statement, but tell the plain, unvarnished truth. Other so-called blood-purifiers may pro duce a temporary exhilaration, which is mistaken for cure; but the cures effect ed by taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla are radical and permanent. It not only purifies the blood, but renews and in vigorates that fluid. 1 Ayer's Sarsaparilla has been In usa for the better part of half a century, and has achieved a success which is without parallel in the history of medicine. People early learned to appreciate ita alue as a purifier of tha blood, and the lapse of years has only confirmed and strengthened tho popular opinion of its merits. Only the choicest and most approved Ingredients enter into tho composition of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and theso aro secured regardless of cost. It is on this principle that tho Honduras sarsaparilla root ia exclusively used In this prepara tion. The domcstio variety la cheap and abundant, being Indigenous all over the American continent, but it has little medicinal value compared with the richer growth of the tropics. There fore it is that the extract of tho Hon duras root, solely, forms the basis of Ayer's preparation, the other ingredi ents being Btillingia, podophyllum, yel low dock, and the iodides of potassium and iron. The effect produced by theso Ingre dients depends largely upon the pro portions used, and it is only by the greatest skill in compounding them that the remarkable alterative and tonic qualities of Ayer's Sarsaparilla are secured. The appliances of Ayer's laboratory are unique and costly, and experience shows that their use results in producing a compound extract of lar more curative power than can bo obtained by any otber methods. This fact, together with the most attractive, liberal, and original methods of adver tising, readily accounts for the world wide reputation and euvlubld success oi Ayer's fienapariUa.
