THE CABARRUS.
The Building Complete and 1
ehlnery Being Placed.
Only aftw months ago the ground
was broken by that thrifty business
man, Mr, R A Brown, for the erec
tion of the addition, which is the
main bnild:ng, to the Cabarrus Cot
ton Mills. Today the brick aod
wood work is all complete and b
the middle&f J muary the machinery
will all be placed and ready for the
operatives'.
With Mr. Brown on the brick
work and Cape A H Props t the
woodwork, this immense structure
has been hustled up in a hurry.
Workmen are now putting m the
shaftinsr and machinery will be
placed next week.
The big tuildini? just finished will
completely hide from view the
original Cabarrus mill from Depot
and Plank streets.
About the L.I.. of A.
Probably every reader of the
Standard has wondered what the L
L. of A. cganizt:on waf, its intent,
benefits, etc. We were kept in
the dark until this week, when we
learned that the abreviation was the
Liars' League of America. We are
not a member of this order, but we
produce one of the certificates of
membership made out and neatly
printed for one of its members :
LIARS LICESSE FOR '94-95.
This is to certify that
is entitled to Lie from the 1st day of
January to the 31st day of Decem
ber, being a duly qualified Liar, and
haying satisfied the L. L. of A. that
he is a fit and proper person to hold
a license

A Cornet Maveasal-RM Rewort.
While on our usual rounds, we
were told of an occurence that took
place at the Montgomery Mine, iust
above town, on Wednesday evening.
"A seedy looking hobo, says our
informant, "had been lying around
the vacant house np there during
the several days of bad weather; he
was a genius, too. He wanted to
shave his rusty-looking whiskers off,
and having no knife or razor, he
found an old corset stave, got him a
brick and sharpened the small piece
of thin steel down to a razor edge,
then going to the spring, where the
water was clear, using its reflective
powers for a mirror, he cut his
whiskers clo?e."
S?ly, the old adage "necessity is
the mother of invention," was ap
plied in this case.
We believe this to be the truth, as
our informant was never known to
preyaricate.

Won't Even Spend Christmas.
Wednesday night our man about
town struck up with and old chum.
and naturally, our conversation was
about how we used to spend the holi
days and frolic around, when a cers
tain man happened to pass, (who
does not subscribe to the paper, but
borrows it of Lis neighbor), where
upon our chum remarked ;
"He doesn't believe in spending
anything."
"No," leplied our man fwhoknew
him even better than our chum
"he s too darned stingy. I don't
belieye he will even spend Christ

Further back-capping was then
prevented by the approach of the

For some time the small boys

An Accident to an Old Lady.

slip, and fall under the wagon. The
hind end of the wagon passed over
her, breaking her arm just aboye the
wrist.
So Color, d Member
It is said that there is to be no
colored man in the next National
House of Representatives. There is
but one in the present House (from
South Carolina), who was defeated.
A color d man is to contest seat
from North Carolina, however.
There seems to be little disposition
to nominate colored men among the
Southern Republicans. There have
been two Congresses previously of
which there was no . colored mem
ber. It is noted of North Carolina,
which has been heavily carried in
its Legislature against the Demo
crats, that there will be a fewer col
ored members of that body than in
any year since the war, none being
chose a to the State Senate, and but
three out of 120 members in the
House of Representatives. Boston

ATTACKED BY A SHARK.
FlNhermin Hat an Exciting; Ex
perience Oirst. AneiiNtine.
St. Augustine, Fla., December 12.
ChatileB F Brynes, a fisherman,
while casting his net on North
beach today, was attacked by a
twelve-foot Bhark and his left leg
was severely bitten. Brynes, like
many fisherman who cast Lets for
mullet into the surf, was troubled
by the monster shark, which was
hanging around for the mullet.
Brynes kicked the shark, but it, in-
steaa or moving on, circled, aoout
Byrnes who was standing three feet
deep in the sea. A3 it passed Brynes
he caught it by the tail and threw
the shark on its side in the shallow
water. It turned and bit his thigh.
It followed up this by another at
tack, and knocked Biynes down,
seized him by the same leg and
made for deep water with the strug
gling fisherman.
Fortunately, the incoming break
ers rolled both shark and Brynes
back on shore. Brynes called for
help, and his companion, Edgar
Pomar, ran to him. The shark
slipped nnder Bryne's back, the saw
like fins scratching his side, and
made for Pomar, who broke for high
ground. Brynes was badly wound-
ed. This is the second attack made
this year by sharks along this coast.
The other man was named Rev-
nolds. He Wa8 attacked last Jane
while bathing in South beach .

On Tuesday 11th, the workmen at
the Mount Airy Granite Quarry split
off a slice of stone, in a perfectly
