JAMES P. COOK, - - Editor.
Thursday, - November 10, 1S91
WE ARE CARED I'Olt.
An Allknceman tells a Charlotte
News reporter that it is now pretty
well settled that Mr. James P. Cook,
editor of the Concord Standard, is
to be the editor of the near Alliance
paper there, and that the announce
ment will be made as soon as he can
perfect his arrangements. State
Chronicle.
The Standard feels honored.
Matters affecting the future coarse
of its editor en bo settled wit '.out
hia knowledge. So far as he knows,
nothing has been settled, lie is
making no arrangements except
such as are necessary for the im
profement of his work this is
his desire at all times.
That the editor of this sheet
hould be tendered the editorship
of the new paper to be started in
Charlotte, as the exchanges my, is,
he takes it, a compliment.
In this connection, the Standard
deairtfl to say that this sheet has a
mission. It has traveled roads that
are rongh and roads that are dark.
It has aeeu days of straggling. It
ha carried a subscription list that
did'not pay for the white paper, ink
and labor required to produre it,
sayicg nothing of the support of
the "owner. It ha worked bird for
Concord ai-d Cabarrus. It has said
what it believed the truth even
againt'the advice of bosom friends.
It has made a few enemies, whose
coarse concerns ns not at all. J t
has made friends not alone in this
county, but elsewhere. It has seen
its county subscription list grow to
a number la-ger than any paper ever
had in the county it is still grow
ing. The Standard congratulates
itself on the possession of warm
friends, without whose aid all this
could not have been accomplished.
The man at the head has strug
gled hard the quarter of century
spent in life has been. struggle itself.
Today we are working (and it is not
boasting) more hours than any man
among our acquaintance. That he
puU in seventeen hours of vrork per
day is not because he has a weakness
for such conduct, but as a matter of
necessity. The only thing that has
made such labors endurable is the
well-grounded belief that the people
of the town and county appreciate
the Standard's course, and the new
supporters being added daily, leads
the editor to hope for a fair living in
the business, in the course of years.
The Standard is a fixture, without
doubt The editor may go to Char
lotte ; he may go to Greensboro ;
and he may return to the shadows
of his parental home, but the
Standard's in the ring and doing
business on its own policy and
style.
In all this struggle the people are
with us in fact, this whole neighs
borhood is struggling.
SOT NO BAD, AFTER ALL.
C-ur esteemed contemporary, the
New York Sun, says that:
"Prince Damrong, the brother of
the King of Siam, who is at pres
ent in Paris, thinks the missiona
ry in his country put the cart
before the horse. They begin, he
ays, by preaching that all the
Siamese know and all their belief in
Buddhism are entirely false, and
that the only truth is the faith
which they propound. Then, after
prejudicing the j eople against them
in this way they establish schools
and do Borne good work. He thinks
they ought to begin by opening
schools and performing other help
ful service which the people cau
appreciate and then enlighten the
publis as to their tenets."
We regard this level-headed
opinion, and the clear terms in which
it is stated, sufficient grounds upon
which to base a not unreasonable
hope that, nfter all, his royal high
ness may not be as hopelessly in error
M his name would seem to indicate.
HE INTO BLAME.
It will not do to monkey with a
tiger. A Caldwell lady,- attending
the circus at Morganton, iunocently
approached too near the cage of a
black tiger and received a slight
scratch on the neck. Mr. Fassett,
of N ew York, Mr. Piatt's young
man, with great bravery sailed into
the ring-streaked and striped tiger
of Tammany and received a scratch
in the neck that severed the jugular
rein of his political aspirations.
Three cheers and a tiger for the
Tammany tiger! Lenoir Topic.
Willie Wyoming Scott, the editor,
was with the young: lady and is to
Wame. Wyoming Scott, who was a
kid about T3 years ago, ventured up
and the lady followed him. It is a
kuge joke on old man Scott in that
be thought the tiger in question was
a mountain black 'possum. - He was

THE LOTTERY AM EXII AXfi ES.
The New York Adverser says:
"The Louisiana Lottery lias itself
alorded the strongest argument
why all the states should unite in
its suppression. It tells Louisiana,
as a reuson for that state's protec
tion of the swindle, that it draws
very little from the people there,
and looks elsewhere for the million.
which annually come into its cof
fers. It sucks money hard earned
money, and some of it sfideu moi.ev
from every slate, county and town
in the Union. For t.iis re-i.-oii . very
part of thi? whole country is diievtiy
interested in killing a swindling
scheme which rs the peoi.le. The
meeting in Chiekiring Hall tomor
row evening sh!!ld lie .1 1-. J TeSelit.l-
tiveone, expressive of the sontini. nt
of the city, and it cannot f iil of in
lluenceupon the people of Louisiana,
and especially upon the citi.ens of
New Orleans."
The Louisiana Lottery is a fraud.
It swindles men. Hut wha about
the Cotton Exchange of New York
the cotton future business!"' The
Advertiser calls on the Slates to
help suppress she Lottery business.
That's all right. lint where this
particular institution gets one dol
lar hero and there, the systems that
gamble around Wall street get hun
dreds. They sap up men in toto
tbey lift a fellow out of boots, house
a:ul home. You need but look
arouud but a few minutes to count
your lingers full of men ho have
been driven ji:u-up to the wall by
the internal uuul probably iufcnuih
workings of the cotton exchanges.
Caarlotte and Concord alone have
lost more money in the cotton future
business, as eoneuwd and managed
in John CWktt ill's New York town,
than the whole Stite has lost by th'
Louisiana Lottery.
The United States government
legislates against the lottery, and
yet encourages the robbery in New
York City. The State of North
Carolina prohibit the advertising of
Louisiana Lottery business, yet many
papers keep up closely with the cot
ton future reports a business that
not only makes men squeal and
kerflumix, but affects materially the
fruits of the laborers' efforts.
They make the dirty gambling
Louisiana Lottery a monster and
ignore the gigantic gambling
schemes in New York.
Are we right? It U"t, she.v

The Stanly News remarks :
A petition is going the rounds for
signers, petitioning the governor for
the release of Dave Frailey, who
killed a nolle man, Mr. II. if. Walk
er, whose death the p-.ople mourned
as that of a beloved fallen brother,
and who died at the hands of the
criminal wnose pardon i3 now asked
for. Law, which is getting to be a
weak farce, saw lit only to convict
the man of man-slaughter, and sen
tence him to 12 years in the peniten
tiary. Fasten a sentence of lifetime
on him and still the widowed
mother, her fatherless children, and
an outraged public will be una
veuged. Dawles, the negro burglar
of Charlotte, pays the penalty with
his life while murderers go almost
unpunished. Is justice meted out
justly to all i
The slip-shoddy way and slopping
over policy of endorsing everything
of a public nature and letting things
go, whenever a favorable comment
can not be made without perjuring
on -'s self is about a back number.
The above article is not calculated
to make friends for the News in
some quarters, but is the sober
thoughts of a fair and square man.
Sometimes a paper palavers over a
thing, because he can't help himself.

We had a pleasaut call yesterday
from our enterprising agtnt, Mr. W.
II. Nuun, Sr., of Big Creek, Stokes
county, who brought us a fine list of
subscribers. He says the News is
gitining ground in that section.
It makes the Standard tired to see
a man boomed for President of the
United States just because he is
successful in some State election.
They are talking Boies, governor of
Iowa. 'I hey tell some bad tales on
him about his recent campaign.

We are crossing the threshold of
the hardest times this country has
seen for t wenty years.
The short cotton cro,. means pov
erty to many people and reduced in
come to more.
It means poor business to san.e
merchants and bankruptcy to the
balance.
It means curtailed salaries to cm
ployees, scant wages to the laboring
man and little work to the mechanic.
Th ee dollars will have to go as
far7t his year, as ten usually does,
and the man who can not lenrn how
to make them do it will bo h ft.
These are the fads, a'id there i
no getting aiound I hem.
W mu-t face the mn-ic and ad
just ourselves to the circumstanced.
The creditor mut. make up his
mind to be lenient, and the drbtor
must learn economy as he never
learned it Ik foie.
On these two hang the law and
tlie prophets: l'orbea'ance and
Economy.
Let us keep a stiff upper lip, do
the best we '-an and trust God for
the balance.
Let every man do unto his neigh
bor as he would be done by, and
we'll pull through in good shape,
right side up with care, and ready
for business ut the same old stand

OM EVI RATION OF WEALTH.
It is right amusing to hear some
men tell what they would do had
they a million dollars, or twenty
live of (hem. Some say they would
give half of it to schools; others
would build a home to care for ev
ery disabled soldier in royal s-ule;.
others would do this and that. One
of the .Standard's printers said if he
had a million he would give s."o0,000
of it to thi' editor, knowing hat. he
would give nearly all of it away to
subscribers who seldom or never pay.
Put, tallow-citizens, there is -onie
thing in the words that he..d this
article they mean lots they are
but a photograph of the results of
systems and the benefits of certain
legislation.
It has been said that no man evtr
got rich honestly. This is a little
overdrawn. In the first place, who
is rich ? Every locality lias its lich
man he may not be worth but
o:0, and yet there are some w ho
! look upon him as !eit;g well
I '-heeled", and cons. (piehtUJ ha; v.
j lie all this as it may, and 1. t the
j standard by which men are d.e'a:id
rich be what it may, every rich m-.n
is not so by honest means lie can't
kneel befme the true (iod and, say :
"Oli, Lord, a. I this I have aeenniu
lated by efforts and t.ieiih.s that I
conscientiously believe right and
proper: I have wronged nc man ; I
have done unto others as I wi-h to
be done by ; and I have taken
advantage of no man." The Stand
ard repeats that every rich man can
not go before the great maker and
declare the above and not perjure
himself.
The weal'h of this country is be-
j coming concentrated; it is being
i drawn from the South year by year.
Statistics tell us that the wealth of
i this country is increasing. It is not
increasing in the rural districts you
Know that. Jt is increasing in some
to .v ns, but tlie increase is nothing
but what foreign capital is invested.
The citizen who live3 with us does
not represent it in his own assets
it may be his liabilities, but the day
of reckoning is coming some day.

is equivalent to twenty Concords;
that is, J. P. Morgan owns
enough wealth to buy Concord (with
all its lots, stores, goods, money,
notes, factories, bedsteads, shirts,
shoes, cradles, bicycles, watches
and everything) just twenty times
or he could buy the entire county,
Concord included, seven tinies.
Air. IJockfeller would not associate
with Mr. Morgm Mr. Morgan is a
small man. Mr. Kockafeller repre
sents wealth sufficient to buy 11G
Concords. Were ha wealth in
silver dollars it would weigh S.750,.
000 pounds, or more than 1?,5!0
bales of cotton of 500 pounds each.
This is not pessimistic, it is
straight.
There is roc a single mar. in the
county that is acccumulating as he
used to, and probably there is not a
single one in Concord.
Follow citizens, you can not deny
that the wealth of this country is
concentrating in the North.
