Cabarrus county does not claim to
be the best wheat growing county in
the State. But we claim tnat even
8 yeai'3 ago flour (surplus) was ship
ped away fron here; that if only or-,
dinary attention is given to wheat
growing in this county a large
amount can be grown above what is
needed for home use. After this
there will be no just excuse for
using western flour, as the county
will be supplied with roller mills
Mr. Crowell's a certainty in Concord
and there is a probability of that
substantial and enterprising citizen,
Mr W R Kindly, of Mt. Tleasant,
converting hia milling property to a
roller system.
In th!s connection the Standard
ll-Bil"-s io attention to what can
i . .1.... ' IL. L H t t r 1
ba done in the county. Mr J P Al
lison for several year3 has been in
creasing his grain acreage. Last
year his crop, on good and bad land,
averaged over 12 bushels to the acre.
On hi3 best land he had a yeild of
over 25 bushels to the acre. Of
course this has been accomplished
by judicious and interested methods.
No crop will succeed without care.
Ilia crop amounted to 1,700 bushels
of wheat and 1,100 bushels of oats.
In a conversation with Mr Allison,
the S'andard learns that the Ful
caster is the better wheat for strong
land, and that the White wheat suits
lighter soil. Mr Allison's success
has been in his extreme care as to
the selection of his seed. He really
selects it before the wheat is reaped.
By this method he gets the healthi
e3t growth and the best matured.
Out of his crop of wheat he selected
wheat for seeding purposes that
tlifshed out nearly 1,000 bushels.
Freouently we hear of complaints
abo'.st th i ''bad stands,"' which must
be due, in great part, to bad seed.
Mr Allison took up 3 bushels of
wheat aad 2 cf oats out of the 1,000
he had .-pecially picked for seeding,
and exhibited at the fa;r, This ex
hibit was highly complimented,
Commissioner of Agriculture John
Robinson, said it was the finest ex
hibit of wheat he ever saw in the
State; he liked it eo well that he
wants some of it to exhibit, on the
part cf North Carolina, at the
World's Fair.
The Standard feels tnat there will
be great improvement in the culture
of wheat. Mr Allison's success
must have a wholesome influence in
that direction end the roller mills
will make it to the interest of the
people.
Branching Out.
The Stanly News has this to say:
Swink Bros., of Concord, N C,
opened a store at New London last
January. They Beem to like the
Stanly trade so well they have rented
a room of the King brick building
at Albemarle, and will put in a first
class Btock of general merchandise
at once. They eeem to be following
the Stanly trade, and the more we
give them the better they will like
it The firm is well known to
Stanly people who used to go to
Concord with their cotton, eggs,
chickens, etc, to buy supplies. We
are glad to have these men with us
and trust that they will receive the
patronage that they deserve. 12

The Standard ha3 just been ins
formed that the town commissioners
of Concord passed an order to tax
all the dogs in Concord for the pur
pose of raising a campaign f "ind for
democracy.
Tax the
The Curs,
The Hounds,
The Beetles,
The Setters,
The Pointers,
The Shepherd Purps,
The Bench Legged fices
to get money to run the campaign.
A bright and novel idea, this.
The Concord commissioners have
an eye to business, havn't they?
Mke the dog? do service to a politi
cal cause.
Now
This i3 some rot that was told a
gentleman, who was inclineel to be
lieve it. This statement was actu
ally made, that the dog tax in Con-
cord was intended to be used as a
campaign fund.
It is so ridiculous and foolish that
it is funny. A man that can't enjoy
such an absurd, foolish statement,
has no funny bone in him.
No sensible man can believe such
an ab8urd,iuipracticable andimpossis
ble thing. It is eo absurd that it needs
no further denial, but the statement
has been quietly made that the DOG
TAX IS FOK THE DEMOCRATIC CAM
PAIGN FUXD.
Now lay us down to sleep !
Mr. Earnhardt l'lnmb on.
Commissioner Jesse II Earnhardt
is not at all any kin to the Third
party. He thinks people have gone
too far when they can't differ polit
ically without becoming unkind and
bitter towards each other. There is
an awful state of affairs now. Men
have lost conGdence in former
friends and doubt their honesty sims
ply because they differ politically
thus speaks the grand old man.
Mr Earnhardt row endorses the
Prohibition candidates and platform
(national), but will, in the interest
of good local government, support
the ticket heaeled by Elias Carr.

render Better see these be
fore you buy 25cts. each
saved on one-half doz. shirts,
$1.50. That much will buy a
good pair of Shoes, or a good
Hat, or it will buy you six
Negligee or colored shirts
the kind you have been pay
ing 40c. a piece for, but we
sell them at 25c. Well, we
give you a good Oxford
Cheviot shirt for 40c. They
are worth 05. We struck a
manufacturer, who wanted to
change a pile of shirts into
money. We traded quick,
and we are selling the shirts,
'quick" too.
WOW AS TO COLLARS
And Cuffs : You had just as
well buy them here. We
show a very good cuff for 15c,
a pair, and collars at 10c. that

more. We don't cret out of
(he way for anybody on Col-

PANTS,
DID YOU SAY? Well, there isn't
asy joke about Cheap Pants. We
just took in a level Hundred Dozen
in one lot from an overloaded manu
facturer, and they are not staying
on our counters, either. We are
distributing: the surplus. Men's
Pants at 5Uc. 75c and $1.00. If we
had bought these in small lots of 10
or 15 dozen, we would have to sell
at 75c. 81.00, and $1.25. But when
it comes to One Hundred Dozen in
a lot, why we save the 25o on a pair,
and give it to the customers.
That's right, ain't it ? Maybe you
want a whole suit. Well, if you
can't spate $5.00 to get one of our
lilack Worsted, Uorkacrew suits

vest for 75c.

of chudrens suits coats and pants
We are selling them less than the
manufacturers' price, 1.00, 1.25,
1.50 and 2.00 for suits that you
would expect to pay 50 per cent
more for.
Now there are Hundreds of other
things. Take Hats and Caps. We
bought 225 Dozen sample Hats and
Caps. These were worth from 40c
to $1.00 each. We are selling them
at 25 and 35c each. Lots of these
