THE STANDARD JAMES T. COOK, Editor. lMKXi;i.l.S ItEATlI. The noted Irish leader, Stewart 3'ornell, died suddenly at his home in Brighton, on the Cth instant, of ncute rheumatism. His death will Iiave little effect upon the political situation ; his influence having vaned steadi:y since the exposure of the O'Shea affair. RAT1IEK PKEVIOI'M. The Salisbury Herald published One day recently that a fellow had committed suicide and was buried. The next morning the fellow that committed suicide called on Jule TVhichard. He called to demolish V'hichard, and things looked cold nd serious for awhile. The only thing that saved him was the com manding presence of the paster and cutter. Whichard works hard for news, and if his little town can't fifforu it, Jule manufactures it HIM DPFfASE. The Standard contains a long ar ticle today ; it is Col. Polk's defense Against the charge that he was a coward daring the war. We disbe lieved the statement when first pub lished on general princ:ples, because the Standard is slow to believe that North Carolina furnished cowards to the cause she espoused and made for herself a record that is the envy f any State of the Union. The statement has gone forth that Vol. Folk is a coward ; many people lelieTe it, and the article contains some historical facts, and upon the whole is interesting reading. We publish it, wishing I ght to be thrown cm the situation. HE HAS SO EUI AL. The Standard man has met the Individual who is known as Col. Fred Olds, ne is not a colonel, but his own oddity of rare qualities. He closen't look much like C. F. King not so handsome but he is built on the same last, and may Col. Olds le last of that type. This fellow talks like he has igni ted powder under his tongue and his eyes sparkle like rattle-snake eyes. Dlds corresponds for several papers an .North Carolina and for some in Other states. From his writings one would think lie was aged and infirm, but outside of having a wife, he is among indis creet youth and uses chewing gum THE SEW YORK ELECTION. It i3 intense interest that centers in the New York campaign. Fassett, the Republican candidate for gover nor, is in some respect a popular and magnetic fellow. The campaign is free ot personalities bordering in bitterness, smut or enmity, other than an honest and decided differ nce of political principles. That Fowler will be elected is the iope of the Democracy, though en terinir into the campaign are the results of the factions or organiza tions of the Democracy that often times Btab each other. But it is B&id that while they stab, fight and make ugly faces at each other, they usually unite and vote right when the final struggle comes. WHO FOR PRESIDENT? This question still agitates in the public mind. It is pretty generally conceded that Cleveland is out of the race, on account, of his decided stand against one feature silver coinage upon which vast majority of Democracy is decided. It is claimed that Senator Hill, who is also Governor of New York, is not to very popular outside of his own State. A large number believe in Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, and if he succeeds in fixing his opponent, Maj. McKinley, the daddy of that fearful tariff law, there will be booms for him for the Presidential nom inations. What about Gen. Palmer, of Il linois ? But let us wait ! FOR THE STATE. The Southern Exposition, aside from the peculiar object of its exist ence, u at least a great advertisement for North Carolina. It is this, or nothing. That the people of North Carolina, with this view of the Exposition, should boost it, assist it and patron ize it, there can be no doubt. The management may be distasteful to some ; a part of it may be at even enmity to Borne parties, but the thing waa botn and the baby had to be cared for The management was placed in charge without money, and seeing they had a good-sized elephant on their hinds they had to put up the money themselves or the elephant lad to perish that's the size and dimensions of the whole affair. Let North Carolina people, and especially the press, stand by them. 1 OE. FOLK'S SPEECH. We hops the report the State Chronicle gives of Col. Polk'H speech at the Newton Fair is unavoidably incorrect. It makes Pol. Polk assume an attitude we have never thought belonged to him. aud sires him credit for Baying things that history and facts will not bear him out. So long as there is abuse person ally or collectively no good results can be hoped for. Peasonal abuse, coma from Alliance or antiAlliance, is neither manly nor conducive to good. Let measures, rather than Tersono, ba discussed. Concord The words of CoL Polk were taken down for the Chronicle in ehort hand, just as t bey come from his mouth, by Mr. E. J. Forney, a competent stenographer, who is a aon of Col. H. i. Forney, of tbiB place, one o the county's foremost Allianeemen Newton Enterprise, The Standard was informed by Caleb Pitts, who attended the New ton Fair, that he heard Forney's father complaining about the manner in -which the Chronicle had butch ered his son's reports. That's all we know about it We don't know Mr. J?omey, but we do know C A. Pitts, 0 Cabarrus county. IT IS KITH. Mr. Cleveland has named his baby "Uuth." She is a bright girl and is growing rapiuly. He has great respect tor nis wile s people, for the child is named after her great-grandmother. The Standard is interested in Miss Ruth, in fact we like babies like Mr. Cleveland's. UE ARE I.OSEK. The earth does not seem as big as once. Men try for the earth, and a few have a pretty big slice of it. But the Standard is impressed with the fact that not only railways and telegraphs tie the various sec tions together and give them, almost neighborly relations, but that even old ocean, by her depth, her width, her billows no longer makes a consid able barrier between this and Euro pean countries. The improvement in traveling means and the decrease in expenses and the time required in making these visits, have brought America and Europe very close. This year 125,000 Americans visit ed European countries and fully that many set foot on American soil. These Americans, in their travels in foreign countries, scattered around about $75,000,000. There is one evil, though, that must be watched. We are becoming forgetful of home and her attract tions. Many of these visitors have not seen what this country offers to please and educate. THAT EIISVIM.E FREAK. Out of compassion for the reck less and indiscreet weakness and vanity that presides over the Reids ville Review, the Standard postponed publication of the ugly matter that he is involved in, hoping that for his own good he might have sense enough to acknowledge his error and admit that we were right. But he is too vain to save himself and as a bluff game insist on his threat to call somebody a "liar and cowaad." The Standard understands mighty well some of Gilliam's bluff. The Standard is not afraid of any lie resting anywhere outside of the Review's office from the authoritive information we have from reliable gentlemen of ML Airy, and Reids ville. And as to the "coward" Mr. Gilliam may rest assured that his bluff game cannot deter us from publishing, at an early day, an issue dedicated to him. That issue will contain Gilliam's original charge againgt Browcr and the references to it for a month afterwards, his statements to arresting officers, his demeanor during the trial, the judge's notes, the record made and tne impressions made upon the gen eral public. To see how they cross will be sufficient stuff to satisfy the brother that he stands where we in timated in our first article. Gilliam, my boy, you can not longer run your bluff. Your "liar" and "coward" will prove a boome rang to you. sTASDARnmis. The Lenoir Topic is just sweet sixteen, but its editor, W. W. Scott, is not sweet he's too old. His age has been figured out to be 102. He spent so many years at one place, so many at another, &c, and by addi tion the old man's age is secured. But the Standard started out to say that the Topic is a good paper. May it become twice sixteen. An Interview With CiOT. Campbell. "I could not wish that my pros pects of election were better and brighter then ihey really are. I am entirely confident of success. I do not care to make any predictions as to my majority, but it will be as or larger than it was two years ago. We are making the fight on the tariff issue. It is the evils of protection from which the people are suffering. We must first get rid of those and then the money questions will be properly settled." A Queer Swap. The Philadelphia Record gives a somewhat full account of what might be called a swap of daughters by two military men Dr. Dallas Bache, a direct descendant of Ben jamin Franklin, United States army surgeon, and Col. Forsythe, of the United States army. Both are stationed at one of the military fort3 near Omaha, each about sixty years of age, and each wooed and won the daughter of the other. The eirls are about twenty years of age each. lieiies ana beaux must be scarce in those parts. m Will It be a Negro State ? There seems to be a welloiganized attempt made by a colonization society, headed by E. P. McCabe, formerly auditor of Kansas, to establish in Oklahoma a Negro State. The work has been going on for over two years and it is still prosecuted with some measure of success, although it may be doubted if the inllux of negroes will be able to overcome the preponderating white elemenL The rush for lands newly opened has brought in a considerable accession of whites from Kansas, but it has also given a fresh impetus to the "immigration of negroes from the South. There are even now more settlers in Okahoma of the latter race than is generally known. A recent examination of the statistics of population shows that of the eight thousand people at Guthrie, three thousand are negroes. Langston City ha3 one thousand negro inhab itants and no white men. It is the intention of the colonization society to make Langston City an exclusively negro town, and some twenty-five thousand dollars have already been subscribed to found a negro .college there. Baltimore Sun. Rev. H. H. Banke, a venerable Baptist minister of Norfolk, Va., is dead. Gen. W. H. F. Lee's condition ha3 grown worse, but there are no appre hensions of an immediate fatal re sult. The doctors Bee no reason why General Lee should not pull through this attack. Gen. Lee suf fers now mainly from sleepiness. GREAT METHODIST IOXFEKEXCJE. Purpose of the Jlh'riiix-The Men W Ih Voire (he Sentiment of t lie liureh. When the late pope summoned the memorable ecumenical council in Rome it was for a definite purpose. What is the definite purpose of the ecumenical Methodist conference ? It is not to declare any dogma or to adopt any policy of administration, nor is it either for consolidation or confederation. It is simply to dis cuss questions which are of common interest to ail Methodists as Chris tian, to manifest t lie unity of Meth odism, to enjoy a pcsoual, social communion and to draw closer the ties of denominational fellowship. In other words, ic is of the same gen eral character as the Pan-Presbyterian council, which is designed to bring together in conference all the churches of the Reformed faith holding the presbyterial system, and as the international Congregational council which met recently in Lon don and in which was represented the Congregationalism of the world. The movement toward an expression of Christian unity, which was begun when the evangelical alliance was organized, and which is manifested in almost every city or town of con siderable size in the country in Young Men's Christian Associations, has in Presbyterian, Congregational and Methodist alliances, taken a denom inational form, and it is not unlikely that the example will be followed by the Baptist. This movement is a signal illustration of the tendency in the last quarter of a century to ward a coming together of the var ious divisions of evangelical Protest anism. It has required nearly a year to complete arrangements for the con ference. This work has been conducted by an executive committee divided into two sections the east ern section representing the churches of Great Britain, Europe and Australia, and the western section consisting of representatives of the Methodist branches in America. The program and the rules for the gov ernment of the conference were first drafted, and then passed back and forth across the Atlantic between the two sections receiving at every transit alterations and amendments until a final agreement was reached. Working under the difficulty, and being enabled to compare views only by correspondence, it is not strange that nearly a year ha3 been required to adjust all differences of views and to secure a satisfactory result. Among the men on this side of the water who have given the most time and attention of this delicate class are Bishop John F, Hurst, of Wash ington, the Rev. John W. Hamilton. D. P., of East Boston, and the Rev. James M. King, I). P., of Washing ton. Bishop Hurst has served as chairman to both the executive and program coninnttes, and will deliver the address of welcome to the dele gates at Washington. Drs. Hamil ton and King have together con ducted the correspondence with the British brethren, and have held the laboring oars. Much of the success of the conference will be due to their efforts. Among the more notable men elected to represent foreign constitu encies are the Rev, T. B. Stepenson, I). P., president of the Wesleyan Methodist conference of Great Brit ian, position of the highest honor, carrying with it special privileges and responsibilities ; the Rev.William Arthur, an ex-president, but with an even greater title to the respect and esteem of his brethren in his scholarly acquirements, in his lovely personal character, and in the spirit ual enrichment which his "Tongue of Fire" and other writings have given his numerous readers. He has the reputation of being a strong and earnest preacher. He wa3 invited to deliver the sermon at the opeuing of the conference. It will be a disap pointment to many to learn that though he is in this country and' will attend the conference, he feels that his strength is hardly e'pvul to the delivery of the discourse, which will be read by President Stephenson. Mr. Arthur begins to fe. 1 the weight of years. He was a member of the first ecumenical conference, aud charmed those who attended it by the ease with which he acted as interpreter for both Italian and French speakers. One of the best known English men in the company from abroad, a Welshman, by birth, is Hugh Price Hughes the leader of what is known as the "Forward Movement" in Lon don, and the editor of the London Methodist. The "Forward Move ment" is described as an energetic effort to establish Christian social ism of the spirtnal type among the masses in London to give them the gospel of love, and regenerate them socially as well as religiously. Ser vices are held in large halls, and fine music 13 one of the attractions. The movement has had, it is said, a phenominal success, Mr. Hughes i3 in great demand as a preacher and speaker, and will be heard in nearly all our cities besides Washington. The Wesleyan conference in France chose its president, M. Le lierve, D. P., as a delegate. He is the most distinguished Wesleyan in France. From Australia comes a large delegation, including among its laymen no less a personage than Chief Justice S. J. Way, of South Australia. The editor of the Con temporary Review, Percy W. Bunt ing, is one of tha English Wesleyan delegates and has a place in the pro gramme. Presidents of the confer ences of the various Methodist bod ies in Great Biitian are also to be in attendance at Washington, and it may be Baid that those who see the foreign delegates in Washington will see the chief men of foreign Meth odism. Among the representatives of the ope Methodist church in Canada (there are but few congregation? not embraced within it) Dr. A. Carman must be mentioned. He is at pres ent the sole general superintendent of the church. He gave up the title of bishop when his church entered into the compact which made a 1 Methodist bodies in Canada one, but he retains the esseuti .1 duties of the episcopate in his present office. The conference room in Washing ton, t.ie spacious Metropolitan Church, of whien Dr. George II. Corey is pastor, will be a good place to get a view of the collective epis copate of American Methodist. The entire boards of bishops of- the Me.hodist Episcopal church au' J the Methodist Episcopal church south have been elected delegates, though some of them will doubtless not be able to attend. Four of the, five distinctive colored churches are Episcopal and bishops are . also among their delegates. These col ored churches have some strong and notable men. Bishop I). A. Payi.e, now very aged, no mean scholar Bishop Tanner is a polished and vigorous wri er; Bishop Arnett, Bishop Hood and Bishop Harris are distinguished for their administra tive abilities and Dr. J. C. Price ha? a wide reputation as an orator. Men of various countries and different races will help to give the conference an ecumenical character, and the enterprise of the American press will giye its proceedings a wider currency than those of the first conference in 1881 obtained by the aid of London journalism. q A 11IM.IOV DOLLARS. An Attempt t Comprehend ThiM Im meiiie Amount. The Fifty-first Congress made ap propriations nggrcgatiug one billion eight million ot do, hits, and did it ever strike you what that much money meant in material form ? A dollar bill is f-even and one-half inches long, a b llion eight million of them would be 7,550,400.000 inches or in round numbers 120,000 miles, almost half way to the moon. A baud of dollar bills live times around the earth, or a belt of dollars Ufteeu inches wide clean mound the equator. A dollar bill contains twenty-two ami a half square inches ; l.UCM.OOJ, 000 would contain 22,080,000,000 square iuches, or 3,316 acres, and we then have a carpet of dollar bills spr ading over more thau live square miles of territory. One hundred SI bills may be squeezed ii.to a space one inch high, 1,008,000,000 of them would rise into a monument 1G0 miles above the surface of the earth. Counting one hundred dollars a minute a bank cierk would require 1.GS0 working days of ten hours each to count this money, raUier a long time for somebody to wait oa the outride for Lis cash. In silver dollars this amount would weigh 31,500 tons, that is to say, 1.575 cai'o.ls. An array of 411,000 men curving 150 pounds', would be r quired to move tha piio, and if the dollars vcio aid one upon the other, running eight to the ineh, there would rise a monument of silver 1,9.57 miles high, some distance fuither up than is tlie Grant monu ment :u Xe'.v York, Paying S"0 ;tn acre lor land this money would buy KM JOl.Wt.Mere farms, an I paying the govern nr-nt pi ice of SI 25 per acre it .would ony five states tho siza of IYxh and twenty live the si- of Michigan.

A private soldier in the regular army could bo accommodated with pocket money out of it for almost six million four bundled thousand years. It would furnish to a thirsty multi tude 21,100,000,000 glasses of beer, say a little less than twenty each for every m m, woman and child on earth. It would, if distributed give every State in the Union twenty four new millionaires, and it would piy tin salaries of two Senators from et.cn State for 2,300 years.

People rushed into the streets in their night clothes in great excitement. Chimneys top pled over; several buildings were shattered and badly shaken up Drug store fixtures suf fered greatly, bottles being thrown from the shelves to the floor and other damage done. The Ma sonic Temple, a line building, was shattered. At the State Insaue Asylum great excitement prevailel, the patients being a! most uncontroll able.

Away from the world and its weary din, Away from the scenes of sorrow and sin, Away from life's waves that rise and sink, 1 sit me down to think. I think of the hopes of my boyhood days, Of love and mercy and joy's bright rays; Of a father's prayer, a niother't tear, 0 days of my youth, how sweet, how " dear ! 1 think of the time when my heart was gay, When 1 softlyjtrod on beauty's way ; But, ah, my soul is wcaiy now, At sorrow's fount I daily bow. At morn, at noon and in gentle sleep, I think awhile, then pray, then weep; Hopes, loves, joys all have lied, Anil left my soul poor soul dead. I longed for love, but love is dead ; 1 trusted in hope, that glittering thread; I reveled in dreams of mystic hue; But, ah, they all bid me adieu. I'm left alone, I'm weary and sad, There's no sweet voice to cheer or glad ; My once best friends are friends no more, My mother's prayers are prayers of yore. While fortune smiled the sky was clear, When fortune frowned the storm was near ; While love's light lasts all was fair, When love's light faded life was bare. Like a lonely, lovely bird I sit And watch the v eary moment flit ; No where to go no one to love O wonder if angel u.iil dome above? The stars shine forthwith their golden beams, The stars go out like life's listless dreams ; My soul winged high her ebon flight, My soul is lowly and lonely tonight. My mind looks back o'er scenes and deeds, O'er glory's fight on winged steeds ; But, ah, tonight I long for love,. For human solace for joy's dove. O ye heaven-born songs of love ! Bear nie away to scenes above, Or let me 'lone and forevei I'll fly, Fly on and on and on then die. Who would miss the lovtless boy, Who waits and works and weeps for joy? Would there glisten in some fair eye A golden tear a sweet good-by V Would angels' harps strike, loud and sweet, A lullaby as this flower they greet ? Would some dear form recall his name, And plant a violet o'er his frame V O no, nietlu'nks, not so only a word, gay, Perhaps, some careless one would say, Or, let the lowly lad lie long, You know his life was always wrong. lie sleeps beneath the winter's snow, Beneath the summer's noontide glow, Beneath the midnight's star-lit rays. Beneath the storm that roars and plays. His soul, poor boy, God knew its port And brought the wandering one support ; God wrapped him in an angel's cloak All heaven sang joy when he awoke. And life, at last, is all in vain, It's the chair, but not the grain ; It's tiie flower shorn of its beauty ; Mich is life without life's duty. Concord, N. C, October!!, !1. YiM-nnt IMuces on the ISeiirh. Washington, P. ('., Oct. 12. Tin supreme court of the Unit-d Sta'es met for the October term today. Thtt'e of the justices were r.hseu! from the coint Chief Justice Puller is in Chicago where hi? daughter is vi ry ill and Ju.-ti es Bradley and Gray hive ho'.h been ill, but are now recovering. The space reserved for the bar was well tilled with prominent lawyers. The only business transacted was the admission of applicants before the court and the announcement from Justice Field tint the most impor tant cases to come up for argument will be t-ostponed until t'-e second Monday in November. This step i taken for the reason that it is de cided that they should be heard by a full bench, an 1 the probability is that all the justices will not be present Monday next. The list lucl ides the Say ward case, which involves the question of the juris diction of the United S'etes over seal fisheries in Behring sea, the lottery cases and cases involving the question of the constitutionality of 'he McKinley tariff act. The court adjourned a few minutes after 12 o'clock, aud in a body paid its res pects to the president. The MiWusofilio Cotton Crop. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat receives each Friday night official telegrams from all the cotton states regarding the eol ton crop. The re port published last Saturday is thus summarized. The first frost of the season has fallen in the cotton belt. The fact is reported from Arkansas, Tennes see, Alabama and the northern part of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. It has been somewhat beneficial, it is claimed, in that it has checked the growth of the plant and caused the matured bolls to opeu. At the same time it has more or less dam- aged the top crop, the improvement in which was the distinguishing fea ture of the yield, therefore the re ports indicate that it will be short ened by thG frost, to what extent cannot now b determined. The statement of the New Orleans cor respondent that the frost ol October 8, 1889, which t was believed at the time, injured the crop very little, if any, really destroyed 500,000 bales, is of interest in this connection. The fact was not discovered then until two or three weeks after the frost fell. Fiom Texas, with the except ion of the frost damage, the reports nearly all show no change or the slight i nprovemcnt in the condition of the matured fruitage. There has been no material change in tho con. ditiou of the crop in Arkansas. The frost has had the same etlect on the top crop as in Texas. Iu parts of Louisiana and Mississippi more or less heavy rains have fallen. Where it was heavy the lint has been cor respondingly stained and damaged. Frost reports from every parish in Louisiana show the average condi tion of the crop to be 77 ; as com pared with last year a shortage of 33 per cent- In the Tuscaloosa ois trict 30 per cent of the crop is re ported lost by shedding. Light frost i reported in the vicinity oi Mobile The Agricultural Department of Georgia reports that the crop in that State cannot exceed thrce fouiths of an average yield. The weather in North and South Cnrohna during the last few days h is been too cool, and retard- d the growth of the plant, but no damage otherwise is reported.

Good man tells us, had been visiting in No. 7. About the usual hour for closing such a visit he started home. When he came to the line between Nos. 0 and 7 townships, on the Concord and Gold Hill road, he heard a terrible noise at the side of the road in the woods. The young man is about seventeen and is fairly brave, but when the chain-like noise seemed to approach him in a threat ening manner he could stand it no longer he ran for dear life. The boy woke up his father, mother aud all his brothers and sisters to tell them about it. They were excited and slept but little. The family did not leave home the fol lowing day. During the evening a young lady, who knew nothing about the ghost, started to a neighbor'?. The road led her by the place where the ghost was. She was nearly frightened to death. The chains iattled,au4,as the sound grew nearer to her she could walk no longer, but ran for dear life. It is a little strange. The ghost is dead bent on chaining somebody, and Nos. C and 7 are pretty badly stirred up over the matter. What can it be? The Standard has sent, an investigator to investi gate. Let us hope he'll get back. Annual Meeting of the New South Club.

The reports of correspondents o( the Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin issued by the North Carolina Exper iment Station and State Weathej Service for the week ending Friday, Oct. 0, 1891, show that the past week has continued generally favor able, except the last few days, which have been too cool. Some heavy rains occurred ou the 7th, damaging cotton somewhat, but was much needed to put land in good condition for sowing wheat, the greater part of which will be done next week. A larger acreage than usual will be planted. Cotton has been opening very rapidly, and another week of fine weather will enable the greater part of the crep to be gathered. No reports of frost have been receivtd, though it is probable that light frost occurred iu the mountainous dis tricts on the 7ih. The yield of cot ton seems even less than expected, some counties report less thau 40 per cent, others about on average crop. The lint seems better this year. The yield of tobacco seems poorer than was estimated in the preceding Bulletin, both 'in quality and color. Note. This is the last Bulletin to be issued this year. Next year it is hoped every county of the State will be represented.

It may aid such to follow this curious calcula tion : An acre is equal to 6,272,040 square iuches, and an inch deep of water on this area will be as many cubic inches, which, at 227 inches to the gallon, is 22,000 gallons. This immense quantity of water will weigh 220,000 pounds, or over 100 tons. Seed Wheat For Male. Cdl at Cline & CorrellV, in the Allison building, for seed wheat.
