MecklenbnrK County Has n Biff Day
Under thejeaption "Democracy is
Immortal," in the Charlotte Ob
server of this (Saturday) morning,
we read of the grand Democratic de
monstration and barbecue at Shaion,
afewmiles from Charlotte. Speeches
were made by Csborne.Lockhart and
Glenn, and Ham, of Georgia. The
Observer tells this as an effect:
"A certain original character who
kept a tavern in the good old happy
days gone by in Salisbury had a
method of grading and gauging the
various stages of "j ig" gedncsg of
the customers who partook of the
mellow hospitality he dispensed over
hia bar. When any of the s:iid cus
tonSJfeohed the point of hilarity,
he was "in ambush;" when he hud
gotfcon to the point of whooping
things up he was "fully presented."
Before the speakers at Sharon yes
terday were through dispensing the
life giving elixir of Democratic
doctrine, the Democracy of Mecklen
burg county may be said to have
been "in ambush" with eptbnsiatn;
and by the time the torchlight
procession in Charlotte and the in
spiring oratory of Ham of Georgia
were over, it was nndonbtly "fully
presented.
At least 800 mounted men were in
the procession. Between 5,000 and
6,000 were in the auditorium to
hear the ojte-tCv ingot.
A Very Karrow Escape,
Friday night when returning from
Piney Grove church, in No. 11
township, Messrs R Will Johnson
and L D Duval met with hard luck
They had teen out to a political
Yeting and the terrific nda set in
bef ore they started back. It rained
so hard that in a short time the
streams were considerably swollen.
They did not stait to town until
about 11 o'clock, and when they
reached the usually small branch
jnsfc bck of Mr. Sandy White's,
they then realized how terrific the
Burging little stream wa3. As they
descended into the water, the buggy
turned over, throwing them both
out and washed the buggy and horse
down stream about thirty-five or
forty feet.
The unfortunate men swam to
shore and gave the alarm and in a
s.hort while, Mr. Frank Bost ar
rived with a lantern.
Owing to the intense darkness, it
was some time before the horse
canld be found. After finding the
buggv the horse was unhitched and
taken- out, . leaving the buggy and
;ess to the mercy of the stream,
he horss was pretty badly hurt,
ng, somehow ran a stob into his
Bide. It wi'l not result seriously
though
Messrs Johnson and Duval being
a little damp and stiff, in order to
get proper exercise, walked to town,
reaching home about 3 o'clock tbie
(Saturday) morning.
It was indeed a very unfortunate
occurence, bat it might have been

The Treacherous French Captain.
Paris, Nov. 1. A special cabinet
council was held today to consider
che case of Captain Albert Dreyfus,
who is now under arrest and confined
in the military prison oa a charge of
high treason in having sold inform a
tion in regard to the plans of tLe
frontier fortification to the agents of
the Italian government and also dU
vulged the plans for mobilizing the
French army in the event of war, it
is the general opinion that Captain
Dreyfus will be shot after the for
mality of a court martial has been
gone through with.
It is aleo charged that he has sold
to foreign agents information simi
lar to that supplied to the Italian
government, and, further thafc.be has
given to Austria and Germany the
names of al the French officers who
have lately been sent abroad on 60s
cret missons.
Dr. Prltchard Encouraged.
Rev. Dr. Pritchard held services
nightly in Concord last week. Ho
came away feeling a little discou.
aged. Not that there was a lack of
interest or small congregations for
the church was filled at each service
but few came out boldly for Christ

of a general spiritual swakening.

Thursday evening as Mr. Wiil
Morris and wife were returning
from town homeward they came
near meetirg with a serious accident
They were on the fill in the new cut
road just back of the Fenix floor
mills. Tho off horse shied at some
thing pushing the other one into
the ditch. After pushing its com
panion into the ditch it fell in upon
him. Mrs. Morris wa3 thrown out on
the two harass and the buggy turned
over on her. It wa?, indeed, not anl
envious position for a man, saying
nothing of a lady. Mrs. Morris es
caped however, with a few slight
bruises about the face and body.
Mr. Morris did not f all in the wreck
as it were.

Speaking at o. 6,
At Rimer's Friday night a torch
light procession and a grand Demo
cratic rally took place in which
about 200 or 300 hundred people
took part, a great many going from
town.
Speeches were mnde by Hon. W G

of the county are all Democratic
and enthusiasm Friday night ran
high.

Mr. Sim 8, in a circular under the
caption "A Campaign Fact" has
thefollowing to say about the Daily
Standard : "
"P. S. The Ddi'y Standard is
yery much alarmed lest some one
votes for me not knowing it. Those
tickets are already in the hands of
my friendd and you will not find
them among the other tickets on the
day of election, Johk A. SiM3."
Did you notice, that he says "they
will sot be fonnd with - the other
tickets on. tbe day of election f'.Most
any intelligent man 'would know
that, especially when the count
com out.
KORNER WRITES.
Korner hns not 6aid any
thing in a long time not
since the county canvass of
candidates began." But ' I
am sail m the fight. Politics
are raging just at this mo
ment, but when the war is
over Tuesday at sunsdown,
you will hear a wailing ia
the land the Populists will be crys
ing: "I have bad the yoke about
my neck; now, oh Lord, let me die,
that my name will soon be forgot
ten." Had the thought ever oc
enrred to you how soon one is for
gotten when his career is ended and
laid beneath, the cold, cold ground ?
That i'.'ene whom has notand never
will gain the confidence of our peo
ple. So it will be with the Populists.
Buck . Ki'chjn was received here n
few weeks ago by the Populists anil
Republicans p.a au Bdvocate of a
fusion agreement between the two
parties, but, alas, his leaders anu
some of hia followers were too
tough far him. He had to "jump
the gang" that was making such a
harnm scar um over the State without
the slightest foundation""&fprinci
plcs. No honest, intelligent man
can support a fusion or co-operative
ticket, and claim to liaye principles.
Oil and water won't mix neither
will Populists and Republicans. It
is "Hon. Buck Kitchen" once again.
t didn't take the "fuse" a great
while to "strike a knot" in his
conscience.
The Pops and the rad
Will feel mighty bad
When the sun goes down toworrosv,
They'll not smole a smile,
In their late bland style,
But crawl in their holes in sorrow.
Now I am not superstitious one
bit, but seeing accounts in your
paper of so many runaways on the
"fatal hill," better known as the
Fisher Hill, just beyond the depot,
it recalls to memory the time when
I was quite youthful and my dear
old father would take me to stroll
on a Sunday afternoon and tell me
of the historic rock that is on that
hill the rock that turns oyer every
time it hears a train blow. That
rock has never been removed and
probably that is the cause of so many
accidents. But there is something
else to consider, and that is the
lonesome graveyard at the top of the
hill. There is a rabbit-sea- ia ahe
gravevard and whenever one of these
skipping little fellows cross the road
you may lookout for an accident.
A graveyard rabbit is a great deal
more unlucky than an ordinary pine
field rabbit, unless you can get its
left hind foot. One old colored man
who was witness to a rabbit coming
up out of a suuken grave out there
says they go into the coffias and
commune with the spirits and that
the spirits of the deal, although in
visible in daylight to the human
eye, an animal can see them, and he
claims that this is the cause of many
horses to shy and run away and so
many accidents over there. He also
claims that some of thesj rabbits are
witches. He knows of where three
witches range out there near the old
camp ground and showed me their
hiding places. They cau talk and
run and cau't be killed.
Korner can't sing, but he did aps
preciate the music rendered to Con
cord's music lovers by those who ap
peared in the "beautiful" little
opera, the "Merry Milkmaids." It
was truly a group of merry maids;
and the young men were equally as
merry, although they were not so ex
pressive or impressive. Korner
cnjDKS LOncora should , organize a
Dramatic Club. She has the talent
and her citizens would give it good
support, provided the benefits were
qiven in the proper way as the
"Merry Maids" was to the orphans
and needful. -

kind old gentleman, stepped op and
said, in a grave tone and with a
downc8t eyes : "Thank the Loid
