So far as the Standard knows it is the only one in the United States. Kev. W G Campbell, pastor of the St. Andrews' Lutheran church, and Kev. Dr. Bays of the Central M. E. church, each preached a sermon at Cannonsville, on Sunday. This it self is not remarkable nor unusual. But while they had different texts, they ran in the same channel and presented almost indentically the same thoughts. They did not hear each other, nor knew what the other was to amplify. Sometimes two newspapers of different towns have had the same local item but on diff erent days, but this is altogether different. G EdKeistler read a wondeiful production, of 42 minutes length, on a "Kiss," that was so awfully absurd and ridiculous and boring that it was good. No man in Concord could write like Mr. Keistler and the Standard, one of his hest friends, regrets that he is abusing his decided talents, in that he spends it on sub jects that can nor, even in their "noon-tide glory," amount to any thing. The Standard begs the young m in to stop and take the other end of the road, where his talents will feel better, make him feel better and his admiring friends, too. The debate, under the disgraceful circumstances such a3 were made by unmannerly people in the rear of the hall, was a3 good a3 could be expected. The subject was "Should the President and Yjce President be elected by direct vote?" Cartland, Haitsell and the grand old mill Earnhardt, represented the aflirma tive, w hile the negative side was sup ported by Eldridge, Lent, and Wag oner. Jno. K Patterson, D It Hoover and W G Koshamcr, the committee, decided in favor of the negative.

Even when the crowd turned and looked j thermic few iu the face, their ugly j behavior seemed to be increased in a j defy in? manner. The Standard has : no sympathy with such conduct and it could be excused in little chil dren, but when it conns to young men and women, it is horrible. If they know no better and have not intelligence enough to comprehend a genteel it quest and could not im:;gi::e what intelligence was gath ered there f'jr, then they a;e to be e.vcnsed and pitied.

The searious illness of Miss Myr tie Brown, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. K A Brown, has been noted in these columns. Today at 2 o'clock her young lite went out. Her death was not unex pected, as it Las been known for some time that she could not recover from the attack of that dread dis ease, consumption. Though her death was not unexpected, her being called away when just budding into sweet womanhood, is a severe stroke tint carries sidness to the bereaved home and to a large circle of warm friends. Miss Myrtie was just 17 years of age, and her death makes the second visitation of death's icy hand upon a bright and christian young lady of the town within the short space of a week. This death is a sad one, and the youthfulnes3 of the subject is a mark ed warning that the young may die and the old must die. Subscription Paid. C E Barringer, W F Freeze, W II Hudson.

General Benjamin F Tracy, Sec retary of the Navy, ha3 been retain ed as counsel to defend Rev. A C.

I'JVi Kimi Collins Conic es the Crime on II is IM-alli lU-ti. ClreL-nsboro Wurkman. An awful tragedy has just come to light! Five years ago Messrs. J S Kags dale & Bro., nurserymen, of James town, in this county, had in their employ as a trusted agent, Dubbin Morris, of Thomasville, X C. He was sent to the State of Ten nessee cn a collecting tour for the linn. lie had met with marked success and wrote them a letter from Sneed ville, Tenn., that he had collected something like $500 and would send it to them when he got to a station. They heard nothing more from him after that, ;ind his mysterious disapcarance win never explained. A few dayj ago the firm got a let ter from a physician at Sneed ville in which he made a most astounding revelation. lie said a few days ago ho was attending a young man by the name of Bud Collins near that place, who afterwards died He said Col lins confessed on his death bed to the murder of Morris. lie said he was aided in the crime by his broth er; that they killed him for his mon ey, which they divided be'ween them. They afterwards secreted the body. Collins' brother was killed about eighteen months ago by lightnii g, ; the doctor stated. lie said they would make a Search for the body at the place designated ' by the dying man. The whole case wits a great my-to-ry to Messrs, Kagsdale & Km., and it was thought that Morris Lad dis appeared with the money. The(onfeSioii of Collii.s puts a different face on the matter und brings to light a most di .bolical murder. I.iK-ky or 1'nliM-ky Ximibor ? Pastor T.somas, of the colored Methodist church, npoitid on SaS unlay that there had l....-n twelve accessions to liis ll ck. lie now conns in and says that another accession on Sunday ran the figures up to thirteen. Now there is said to be luck iu odd numbers, and thirteen is not only an odd number, but a prime number also. Furthermore, thirteen is sometimes called a bakers dozen, which means that the baker always put's in an extra loaf when he sells a dozen loaves of bread But somehow or other, some people have a superstitious dread of the number thirteen, and would not be one of a party of that number for a valuable consideration. This how ever, is nobody's business but Pastor Thomas' in this connection, and it is presumed that he will work out the problem to the entire satisfaction of himself and his congregation bv aking in some more members next Sunday or some other Sunday. In Memory ofJiKie Kilmer. The exercises at tho University were suspended Saturday morning in honor of Judge Gilmer's memory. He was Alumnus of the University, having graduated as Bachelor of Arts in 1S5S. He afterwards took the master's degree. He was also a Trustee of the University and regus larly attended all the meetings of the Board. President "Winston and Doctor Battle made speeches in the Chapel on the Judge's life and char acter. There is general sorrow in the University, for Jadge Gilmer was much beloved in Chapel Hill. .Mihly Poor Justice.

There is a reward offered for the capture of Leroy Gray, who broke Concord jail some time ago. It will be remembered that Leroy, with others, was arrested for carrying On a systemized method of stealing cots ton in Nos. 3 and 4. The following is a description of him : About 50 years of age ; weighs 1G0 pounds ; 5 feet and 9 inches high ; little finger and thumb of one hand gone ; he has a scar on one arm extending from wrist to elbow, and he's neaily as black as they make 'em, having too a pretty savage countenance.

Mr. J J Bile3 is 81 years old and is the eldest of a family of nine children all boys eight of whom are still living, the youngest being 01. The combined age of all eight of the children of this family who are still alive is 5C0 years.

Then came a man, who offered to take the Standard if we would take pay in some of his home-made grape wine. "We agreed, believing in its use, medically. "W G Barringer started it out here on the U S mail, when Mr. Lentz, the carrier was caught up by J M Ilendrix and, D D Barrier, who pro fessed to be friends of the Standard, and asked to bring it out. Mr. Lentz gave ii up to them. They used ful ly one half of it and then filled the jug with water out of Dan Lipe's spring. Feeling the need of medi cine we tried it and the very first (and only) whiff convinced us that it was watered stock. After a slight examination we recognized ii as being water from Dan Line's Spring. We would know water from that spring anywhere.

Saturday, it will be remembered, was the day that Polk, Skinner and Butler spoke at Statesville. Everybody in the meeting appeared to have exercised the right of saying something, and among those who felt called upon to make remarks more or less perti nent, was Jim Reeves, the young man, who, it has been understood, is under sentence of banishment from the state. After the speaking Reeves appeared at the Cooper House, and in an excited manner said that he wanted to kill Butler. He got into the hallway leading to the dining room, Butler being then at supper, and pulling out a pistol said he ins tended to kill Butler as soon as he came out. The sheriff happened on the scene just then, and took the young man's gun from him. Reeves stated as his grievance that Butler had called him a liar. The incident created a good deal of excitement about the hotel at the time. In all probability Mr. Butler is right. Some men are liars on gen eral principles. Tlie Alliance Day. President Marion Butler's ad dress was magnificent. He is fair open and candid. He is not at all rantankerous, but plain, pointed and tote3 fair. This is tli2 way we i see it, and we are only writing about j what the impression made with us is. j "We regret that time does not ad mit for putting our copious notes into shape for this issue, but next will have it for the benefit of those who failed to hear it. For 3 hours Mr. Butler held the court house full of people, highly entranced and enthusiastic. Senator Hill can no longer be called a dark horse. Dame Rumor says he is about to wed a red-headed girl. Some Xewt from Itocky River. Rocky River Alliance held its reg ular meeting last Saturday evening, the 10th. The attendance was good and the exercises interesting.

The acre age of cotton was reduced about one-third- The Alliance also unanimously resolved to request our Senators and Representatives in Congress not to vote for any further appropria tions for the World's Fair in Chi cago except upon conditions that its doors be closed on Sunday. Tho following resolution adopted unanimously by a rising vote was ordered to be sent some two weeks since to our county papers for pubi lication, but was overlooked: Resolved.
