The history of White 1111 Sem inary as she is, is fairly known to the S andard readers. She has done good work; about one year s?g one building wms de stroyed by fire. Jin C( i his ti:iit th.' future of the school has been pomeh:it doubtful. The tpeiial friends t the institu tion have been fearful that the school might be discontinued. The 1'oird (of the Northern Pres byterian church) did not care to re build at the same sife. The Board intimated thai if a fd'e nearer town could be secured that the Board would rebuild. Mr. G. M. Lore sa'd he would do mre utte n acre mar Kocki;na p rings, about half a mile from the corporate limits. I his propofiiuon was conveyed to the Board. Pleased with this gen erous otier, winch meant an anpre- riat'on of the Board's efforts, the Board instructed Revs. D. L. Dodge and I. D. Eaton to come upon the scene. These gentlemen spent Thursday in town and at the site offered. Thursday night, these gentlemen, representing the Board, called on Mr. Lore and accepted the proposition and the generous dona tion. The design for a $20,000 build ing is now in tne bauds ot the contractor. This is good, very good. The Standard leaves the good news with the happy public. Col (on Relow the t'ot of Prodne- tlon. We have received a circular let ter from the firm of W. S. Howard & Co., of Hazelhnrst, Miss., dated October 20th, which is addressed "To the Southern Farmer,' by way of an appeal, and from which we make the following abstracts: "Pardon us for addressing you. Our apology is our profound sol icitude f r your welfare. Not only the me-chants are in'erested in your success, but every class of people, from the b inker to the fruit dealer, ! .1 i it ' must coMess mat me success, in a great measure, of our country de pends on its ancultural prosperity. "U hen our nelds yield tneir m crease, everything has a basis of life and suecer.

Is there no hope lor nett-r davs for the Southern farmers ? We think their is a remedy. We desire to emphasize what we regard as the cause whish has brought about such a condition. "The price of cotton is below the cost of production; and to the farmer this means stagnation and agricultural death. "The question presents itself and it is ths question above all questions for the Southern farmer: How can we raise tne price oi cot ton to a living basis ? "The reason cotton is 8ellrg be low the cost of production is found in the fact that the production in 1890 wasgreater than Jthe consump tion- The world could not consume what was raised last year. "The remedy, we think, is to re duce productiou by the redu tion of acreage. Let all farmers combine and say that in 1892 they will plant one third less cotton than in 1892. "Let the farmers rallying cry for 1S92 be one third less acreage in cotton and better prices for same? Tho f.Hrmer will then have time to changa his meat market from Chi ca"-o to his own place, and his corn orb will be found at home iustead of the West. "L"t every farmer sign a written contract to plant, in 1892, one third less acrease in cotton than 1891 Thi? plat., we are suie, will give you time '0 raise otner products tnai cotton and move the price of cotton frnm 7 and R C.ntS to 10 and 11 cents in 1892. "Vp ak our commission mer chants in Ney Orleans Galvestion and other great cotton centres to help ns to the price of cotton above the cost Of production.

Editor Standard : Will you please allow space for a few words which may be of interest to some of the Cabarrus people r In traveling over this earth one often meets with strange scenes or strange faces which seem familiar. Guch is the experience of a trav eler from the old North State in Missouri. The Presbytery of Potosi met at Brazen in Perry county, Mo., Sept. 16. The small number of ministers scattered over the large territory of thirty-three comties all came, some by railway, some by steamboat, and some by private conveyance!?, for a distance of fifty miles or more. But all, before we reached the commu nity of Brazeau, were forced to adopt, the last mentioned mode of travel : for Brazeau is a country church. When we arrived we found an old brick church, which was br.ilt in hj, leu.iiiuiiig fiie very niuen or the Poplar Tent of Cabarrus. The i , , . . , zj j: , i wuuus aruutiu fieetrreu to have ttren imported from Carolina, and the Carolina air with them. Bat strangest of all, when the table on the church ground was loaded, as it was every day, it too had the appear ance of many a table seen before, and its contents ta3ted strongly of North Carolina. A son of Cabarrus. even if he were not hungry, would soon feel a keen appetite, and for-, getting where he was, he would be gin to look around for familiar faces. What, then, is the secret of all thi3 ? It i3 not hard to find ? The community of Brazeau, extending south into Cape Girardeau county, is made np eutirely of people with Carolina Mood coursing through their veins, a few of whom once rambled over the hills and hollows of Bethpage and Po lar Tent, in their early childhood. Nearly all of the names of these people are common throughout Cabarrus, such as Lucky, McNeeley, McLain, Sum row, Patterson, Cook, Milster, Mor rison, Fleming, Harris, &c. The pastor of the Brazeau church, Rev. W. W. Killaugh, was born in Ca barrus, on the plantation now owned by Mr. Bur". Furr. The forefathers of these people came out to seek a home across the Mississippi, and formed a frontier settlement, in the ante bellum days, while yet the wild Indians claimed the forests of Perry and Cape (Jirar deau counties as a hunting ground. The claunish spirit was so strong in those days that no family of North (. arolinians who came into the set tlement ever suffered the iuconven- ces and discouragements that West ern emigrants often euffor now days. One f tmily of the older settlers would often keep two or three other families of "new comers" from the fatherland, vintil they could procure land for themselves, and prepare for Iivinar. And that spirit ha3 n tal loirether died out vet. They have a warm feeling for any living creature purporting to be from the dear old State. If any of the readers of the Stand ard should ever be led to try his fo' tune in southeast Missouri, and would like to meet with a royl re- c ption, let him find his way into the neighborhood of Brazeau, and give the password "North Carolina." These people are prosperous and happy. Although very few of thr m have made fortunes, they are the possessors of splendid farming lands. Corn and wheat are the principal crops. Corn averages from thirty to eighty bushels to the acre, and wheat from twenty to forty, lhey use no fertilizers. The Standard has been putting in its welcome appearance regularly May it continue to do eo. A Son of Cabarrus. This letter was lost somewhere for a long time, but here it is any way; it is good. F.D.I Foiled. Tuesday niirht Mr. Grier and his clerk, Ed. Morrison, brother of three M's Morrison, were sitting in the store at Ilirrisburg. A tramp was also there complacently warming himself. The night grew apace, and Mr. Grier eot up a id ttiit'd for home; the tramp also went out, and Morrison decided to close up and go to bed. Going to shut the front door he was confronted by the tramp with a drawn pistol, and was told to put up his hands. Iu his attempt to obey he struck tne tramp s arm, and threw the pistol out of line, Quickly shuMing and locking it, he rushed to the back door just in time to prevent the tramp from entering. Mark save when he came to him lie was still too bad cared to talk plain Ross Brown on the Cotton Crop Talk about cotton! there is none. I put in thirty acres so as to get 12 or 15 bales.

Lore paid to Eli Cagl, an industrious colored man of Stanly county, $57 for a lot of cotton. Af ter receiving the money old man Cagle went out in the buck lot to his wagon where another coloied man approached him with a sancti tied air and religions mein, soliciting contribution for a church. The old man promptly pulled out his roll to contribute his mite, when it was rudely snatched from him by the would-be churchman, who, took to hi3 heel3. That is all. A hard working, . honest old negro has lost the profits of a years' labor, and a thief and a villain is is at large. Narrow Eftrape. This i3 the time of year to hear of gin burnings, but fortunately not many have burnt. On Thursday evening about 3:30 o clock fire was discovered on the top of the press at J. Dove's gin, below town. The blazft ran up about four feet and John Ferguson nncoatel himself and threw his coat ever the flame. This stopped it. Had he not gotten there when he did J. Dove's gin would have been in ashes. The origin of the fire is supposed to have been in the press pin becoming dry and hot and igniting some loose lint. Heating- Pipe ISnrstcd. A heating pipe in the dining room of the Mount Vernon hotel burs ted this morning about seven o'clock, tearing up several planks of the floor.

When the train pulled up to ;he station at Jonesboro, a young girl, accompanied by an old gentleman, as soon seat ed near.

Finally the reporter's friend in quired if the old gentleman who af-coinpiuiit-d her w;:s her father. The reporter k:ew it wa not her fa: her. but supprs-d it ! he .-tune, frifnd who h .d survived many tincvstors. The train had nor. gone far until the astonishing fact leaked out that those two were wed. The marriage took place Saturday evening under somewhat romatic cir cumstances. The groom, Mr. Bal lard, resides at Rogersville Junction, and would easily be guessed to be between forty live and fifty-years of age. The bride, Miss Lelia Moore, is a daughter of a wealthy farmer near Broylesville, and one would guess hr to be about sixteen years an inhabitant of this earth. Th-1 two. had kindled a llame of love some time ago, but the girl's father wa3 opposed to th-? match, and although they wjre engaged, they rarely ever met each other, and if perchance they did there was no time to arange details or fix any certain date for matrimonial life. Mis Moore was evidently very much interested iii her sweethart, for she made the occasion for their mar riage. Mr. Ballard had long since passed into the barren fields of old bachelorhood, and had h-arncd to tak all things easy. He knew what it wfs to wait; he had been waiting nigh onto fifty years, and still lived in the hope and vigor that one would not exp ct fo find outside of boyhood. One Saturday morning he had sent to Knoxville for a basket of grapes. The grapes he me tnf gro take one of the neighborhood girK But after he had ordered them he re ceived a telegram requesting his im mediate perseuce at iii- own marriage at Jo--e;boro.

Here'' the child was f.dher to the man, and ot course, niter a lew okes touching the revolutionary war, syri pithy was ns'ored, and the happy couple of fitly and fifteen went on their way rejoicing to find the home that he had built for her before h?r prattling tongue could utttr accents of love.

Charlotte, Nov. 19 The Presby terian orphan asylum at Barium Springs, thirty tive miles above here, was burned this afternoon. The fire originated from a defective fine. The children all escaped un hurt, and are being cared for in Statesville. Otters Allaek a Roy. The falls of the Mayo River, a few miles above Madison on the Roanoke and Southern railroad, are, perhaps, the finest water powers in the State, savs the Greensboro Rec ord. The river is broad and rapid and hedged in on either Eide by high and craggy cliffs. For several miles there are numbers of led es of rook running entirely across the stream making natural f al 1 s of sufficient height to turn nulls without any darning of the river. All that is necessary is to cut a canal, and build your mill a few hundred yarcb beloAV, and you have all the water power you need. There is enough pover in these natural falls to drive the machinery of the State. A com pany is now t'eveloping th's j roperty with a view to utilizing this w;tter pcAA'cr Avhich save one gri-t mill i3 allowed to How into the Dan with out paying any tribute. Thus much by way of parenthe sis; but, the incident that Ciilbd forth these remarks is one of great singulaiity. We never heard of i s like before. Last Friday, near Langdon, Wal ter French, a well-grown lad sixteen years ot age, while AvaiKing sior-g the roa l near the river, just above these celebrated falls, was saa,-ely a tacked by three large otters. A battle ensued and the lad hoped with a good club, to conquer these animals; but they soon had him on the run and yelling at the top of his voice. His cries soon brought the neighbors to the rescue, and with dogs and guns one of the otters was killed and the others put to flight. Rev. K. II. Williams, pastor of Rtoneville church, who is a pupil in Bennett College, gives ns the par ticulars of this unusual attack, and says he got his information from one of the participants in the res cue, who says- he never saw larger otters, and never before heard of one making an attack upon anyone.

The tramp that was killed in the wreck hero Sunday night, and bu ried Monday evening by agent Webb, was called Jerome Temple, and was a tinner by trade. His companion in the wreck, Avhose name wa3 John Stanton, says he came from Cam bridge, Md., tJiid that he had met him several timts before, while on his annual round tramping through the South. A Clever Xotiee, Dr. Edw. P. llabstead, who had been in Kinston tivo Aveeks and vvho claimed to u veterinary surgeon from Ludlow, England, left last Thursday morning, says the Kir ston Press. He failed to ; ay hi3 advertising bill with the Free Press, and ho borrowed money from one oi two parties in Kinston, who ar out just that much. This was bad, but the Avorst part Avas that he swindled quit? a number of farmere out of $5 each. The Fr.je Press will be exceeding ly earful in future about advertis ing ror a stranger who comes in our midst. It is reported that Hdlstead, which may be assumed name, left for England but thi3 may not be true. He may try to operate in some other section of this country, and we publish the following brief des cription of him. About six feet two inches in he'ght, weight about 170 pounds, while here shaved clean, small eyes which can t Joo'c a man streight in the face, large mouth and rapid talk er. His countenance unprepossessing. He is a very plausible scoundrel. We hope the press will pass him around so that he will not be able to swindle other communities. WTe know of several parties in Kinston who would pay all expenses to any one coming in contract Avith Hal- ste:id that would give him a genteel threshing.

The United States Weather Bu reau missed Friday's weather worse than Prof. McAnulty or Capt. Alex ander ever did. The gentleman that presides here is pained at the conduct of nearly every patron not a single invita tion to an old fashioned corn snucK ing has reached this office.

Hunt, of the Burlington News, put in a six line local on the eclipse, and fully eclipses himself when he avers that the late eclipse proves "be yond a reasonable doubt that the world is round. The evidence is conclusive, for Hunt says so. A COMMOS COMPLAINT. It is astonishing how lightly most people regard certain organic derange ments, so long as the pain or inconveni ence caused thereby is not excessive. This is particularly true of the bowels, which, next to the stomach, are the most abused .portion of the body. The wonder is they continue for so many years to perform their important office with anything like regularity, consider ing how little attention is paid to their special demands. One of the most common ailments is constipation, which very frequently be comes chronic for want of proper treat ment. As a general rule, when a per son wakes up to the consciousness that he needs something "loosening," he takes the first thing at hand, if it only promises a speedy effect. The evil of such indiscreet medication is that while the dose may cause a prompt anil ener getic movement, the operation is liable to be followed by another, and perhaps longer, period of constipation. If this again is remedied by a similar treat ment, it is sure to be succeeded by still more stubborn inactivity the final re Bult being a permanent weakness of the bowels iu the form of chronic and confirmed constipation. Now what is needed byway of physic, in any protracted interruption of tlie regular operations of the bowels, is simply a gentle aperient to bring about a movement, leaving the rest to cool ing drinks and relaxing food. For this purpose, there Is no better opening mnl icine than Ayer'a Pills. Being purely vegetable in their composition, and en tirely free from calomel or any other harsh, drastic purgative, their use is unattended with those injurious effects which follow the taking of ordinary cathartics. On the contrary, Ayer's Pills are calculated to strengthen as well as regulate the bowels and stomacb, and also to stimulate the liver, the slug gishness of which is often the real cause of constipation. Ayer's Pills, being sugar-coated, ara easily taken and are, therefore, admira bly adapted for use either at home or abroad. They are recommended by lead ing physicians all over the world, and, in countless households, are the only medicine considered absolutely indis pensable. They are, without doubt, thft most popular pills ever made.
