THE UNION MEETING SCNDAT NIGHT. I.. A. Conifer SpokeNome Matitlrnl Reports Were Rend Several I'arte Made Statement. L A Coulter, Secretary of the State Y M O A, is a good talker and very entertaining, and impresses one as very earnest in the work of the Y M c L Rev. II M Blair, pastor of the Forest Hill M E church (by the way, you seldom meet a more practical and safe man) talked exactly right. He said in substance : If the Y M C A is not the church, it ought to be stopped; whenever I'm convinced that it is not the church, then I'm clone with it. To most men (and the Standard means this for friendly criticism) who are friendly to the work of the Y M C A and who are disposed to encourage it by good wishes anl contribution, the tone of Secretary Coulter's speech is calculated to have the opposite effect. His speech was too much of an apology for the exis tence of the Y M C A, besides, he is too emphatic and enthusiastic in comparing results of its work with that- of the chuich When vou make a child greater than its parent, you nave trouble on your hand3 There are a clas3 that are rot dis posed to help support both, provided one does the work. It is the opinion of the Standard, that the Y M C A is doing some good work and should be encouraged but when its work is trying to be placed al ng side of the church there's time for a halt. The institution itself would be a colossal failure without the milk of human kindness shown it by men, thorough ly identified with some branch of the Christian church. Mr. Coulter, we think, is a little unfortunate, in coupling club rooms with bar rooms, gambling hells and houses of ill repute. Such is not the case at least not in Concord. In many respects the club room in Concord has done more good than the Y M C A. That it has exerted a good influence can not be doubted. Reading is afforded, innocent games are provided for, and young men have a place to spend their leisure hours in a social manner in rooms that are decent and respectable. If such were not there, these young men would seek other places some of very doubtful character. But Mr. Coulter, like the rest of mankind, has the right to his opin ion and he's fair and respectful with it, so it's all right. He's far above the average young man and is doing a bi work. The statistics read were encoura gmg. The music was good, very good. That's a strong team Jones, Man gum, Anderson and Kestler. Dr. Payne's remarks were pleasant and to the point The Secretary announced that to continue the work $730 would be required. He served notice that he would wait on the citizens to tha effect Let th people encourage the work. Thla Is Xeeesnary. To make the New Year a happy one to ourselves and others, says an exchange, we must close the gates on prejudice, envy, jealousy, malice, evil thinking and evil speaking, and let nothing but gracious dispositions enter the portals of the new year.

The home of Mr. A Hagan, on Church street, wa3 brilliantly light ed and beautifully decorated Thurs day night iu honor of the marriage of Miss Lora Hagan to Mr. Albert Gillon, of Concord. At twenty minutes to seven the Woodroffe Or chestra began the wedding march and the couples began slowly to take their places in the parlor facing the north. The waiters came in as follows : Miss Mamie Heartt, of Durham. with Miss Male Jopling, of Dan ville, Va. Messrs Hymen, of Goldsboro, and Cooper, of Charlotte. Misses Margaret Smith as d Car rie Cunningham. Messrs. Leslie, ot Charlotte, and McLaughlin, of S. C. Miss Edith Ilagan, sister of the bride and maid of honor, came in wi thMr. Cornelson, of N. C. These : wen- tollowcu by the bride an 1 ! groom who took their places under-1 neath a beautiful bell of rare j flowers. ! The ceremony, performed by Dr. j J Henry Smith, was exceedingly beautiful and impressive. The bride and groom knelt to receive the benediction. The bride wore a very becoming gown of white faille, chiffon, pearl j and silver trimming. In her hand was a bunch ct exquisite bridal j roses. I Miss Edith Hagan wore a charm- ! ing blue brocade silk, chiffon trim ming. The piano and seveial tables were covered with handsome presents from the numerous friends of the couple. At about nine o'clock those pres ent were invited into the dining room where a sumptuous repast awaited the crowd aud everyone seemed to enjoy it greatly. There were about fifty or sixty ladies and gentlemen present to wit ness the ceremony. Among those from a distance were Misses Minnie McMahon, of Richmond, and Annie Sloan, of Reidsville, N. C. A great deal of merriment was brought out by the old time custom of cutting the wedding cake. Miss Edith Hagan was the lucky winner of the ring, which signified an early marriage, and Miss Delia Ball got the needle, typical of the life of an old maid. At 12:15 the happy couple took the northbound train for Hampden Sidnev, where they will make their Charlotte in Wpr. The City Aldermen of Charlotte have voted license to several tr.ca. ThtJC'o comissione-rs ;-.it down upon them. This is Charlotte'o ligat and not one of the outside world; but to an outsider it seeme an assumption of power to take an advantage of the technical ily of law to refute license Such action always daumge a cause and makes for it enenrcs instead of friends, which are absolutely needed to inforce any Prohibition law. If Charlotte wauts no bar-rooms, let it do like Concord and other towns, that seek the will of the ma jority of its citizens, by voting for local option. This is the Standard's opinion, which this sheet is supposed to publish . . - . - tiladHtone Sewn. I tent no items last week for I supposed that the editor wanted to take the holidays. Mr. J Lawson Earnhardt and family, of Concord, spent a few days with relatives near here last week. He returns the first of the week to superintend the Barringer Gold mine. Miss Mattie Doby spent the Christmas with her parents at home. But she has since returned and re sumed school in Cabarrus. Rey. S A Earnhardt's family has been very sick with the grip and typhoid fever. The Barringer mine has turned out to be richer than was expected. Great layers of gold covered rocks that weighed from to two to 55 pounds have been mined. Prof. R Eames, Jr., supt. of the Gold Hill mine, says he has seen a great deal of gold, but that caps the climax. Prof. Eames thinks the state ( e-eht to buy it for exhibition at tic World's fair. Ceitaiuly finer speci mens could not be found anywhere except only in the California Gold mines. Capt. C F Burns and L J Earnhardt went to Charlotte last Monday to buy a stamp mill for th mine.
