v. r UufoosD. Cababbub Ooum it, N. , C THURSDAY, MAY 16, 1895. AMES P. COOK - - - JfuiToa " WHICH It) THE EIGHTH COMMAND- BEST f The Standard is not near so good a theologian as are some other Jay- men in this section. It will stand corrected any time when proof is given, bat it must protest against the correction and the waygiyen, by one who is so ignorant as not to pay for his subscription for four years and then believe the editor . able to live on promises of wood that never came. The Standard referred, for prayer f al consideration, the Eighth Com mandment Thon 6 halt not bear false witness against thy neighbor to the authoress of a mean and slanderous article about this section of the moral vineyard, an article against which every patriotic and truth-loving citizen must protest silently, if not publklv. It is grati fying that allourpeople, who fear and love God, condemn the spirit that prompted the writing of those ai tides and know the contents to be a concoction of, lies, except this vzod promising subscriber. It is amusing, however, to know that seme very wellt informed men, on other subjects, did not know that the "Ten WorJs,"oi Ten Command ments, are the same in meaning the world over but that the numbering ' f them has been different for years. One part of the .Christian church makes the 1st and 2nd command ment oat of what another part of the Christian church makes the 1st; ad the former the tent'i out of .4whaiihe latter makes the 9th and 10th." Those who have been greatly ..J amused at what they considered the Standard's "slip up" will find our use of "Thou shalt not bear false witness etc" as the eighth command ment to be correct, by reference to the Hebrew Bible; and if they can't read Hebrew, their pastors can. The English translation of the Bible is such that either system of number ing can be maintained, Tha number division of the com mandmehtB precipitated a contro versy way back before Reformation ' days ; and, if the decalogue is obs served by men and women as it should be, all will be well, be the ; division as it may. Sinners cannot themselves from the penal ties of violation of the commands jpent;. because they did not under stand the numbering of them as did other people.. The whole law is there. If we had no other reason for the cambering we nsed, we could not feel lonesome because of the fact that two-thirdB of the Christians in the world adopt that system that makes "Thou shalt not bear false witness etc" the eighth command ment; and 53,000,000 Protestant communicants, a majority of such in the world, observe the division that make it the eighth commandment. But if there be further conten tion about the matter and they still insist our eighth is the ninth, we accept their eighth and declare that it is not Christ-like and just to steal the good name, peace and hap jrinesa of our people and substitute otnera for them in a section . of country that haa Hffe ignorance, more suffering and ' ten thousand times more vice than can be found in this section of the South. A UBEAT BEUIf IOM. The greatest reunion of Confed- erate veterans ever held will be held vj next week in Houston, Texas, begin- ninifMonday. At the same time the state military encampment will be held there. " This doable event will be remark able in many ways. All the surviv ing general officers of the Confed erate army have signified an in ten tionof being present, and many thousand veterans will attend. L;eu tenant General Schofield and Briga dier General Wbeaton, of the Unitea States army, will be present as guests of the encampment and will parti cipate in the ceremonies. All the 1 ' ' United States regulars stationed in Texas as well as every company of Texas state troop?, will take part in the military exercises. There will be the most general mingling of the bine and the gray that has occurred -jrite-iii&'auiwijhelp to make atill mi WWA$ i nihil nl ' sectional good feeling. . , L The railroads constituting the .'Southern Passenger Association have .given rate of one cent a mile from H points eaf t of the Mississippi -St. It will be difflcult ; matter . j care of the enormous crowd that will attend this reunion, but the people of Houston havearranged on a very elaborate scale to do so, and will nndoutedly prove equal to the occasion. Those who visit Houston next week will be fortunate and the rail roads are to be commended for their action in giving such a low rate for this grand event. vm COIN'M FINANCIAL, SCHOOL. The Louisville Courier Journal in writing about the pamphlet, called "Coin's Financial School," says this: "The man who devotes " his dayB and nights to the study of this book will accumulate a larger stock of ignorance and misinformation than is procurable in any other way, eyen by reading tne Arabian Mights and believing it all. Compared with the 'Financial School,' Baron Muni chausen's airy reminiBcenses are a study in systematic theology. The Standard has not had the op portunity of reading this book,which has already reached the enormous sale of 500,000 copies and the pres ent demands are now greater than can be promptly met. Parties .that have read it and spoken complimentary of it even extravagant in praise of it in our presence, were those who know no more ahout the financial problem than we do. That is one thing we know next to nothing about, and in this pre dicament we have the company of about 1,648,267 North Carolinians, more or lees.' The condition now is nnenyiable; and, if the effects of studying this new excitment be what the Courier Journal declares, our condition would be deplorable in the extreme. Hence the delay. But here comes the Raleigh News & Observer, whichjdeclares the Courier-Journal "Extreme as usual" and says "the main statistics, relied upon in Coin, have not been dis puted." See how the doctors differ ! Its value, however, may ba ques tionable from the fact that its great est friends are those who believe and advocate nothing more than a year at a time, and then howl about something just as contrary as is possible. There is some truth iu it, no doubt ; there is a little particle of truth in most any writing, even an atom in those articles to "Over Sea and Land" may resemble truth. KOSEOOOD S.IGNS. Business reports for last week con tain much that will increase confi dence. Clearing house returns were more than 25 per cent, than they were for the corresponding week last year. The liabilities involved in busi ness failures for the five weeks ended May 2 were $10,905,971 against $14, 758,467 for the corresponding period last year. Kailroadearnings for the last week in April showed an increase of 10.8 per cent. It is estimated that the purchases abroad of our bonds and securities since February have exceeded $80,000,000. There has been a general rise in stocks and a drop in the market for sterling ex change. These are good signs. The business outlook has brightened steadily since the beginning of the present year. Atlanta Journal Our Gladstone corresponden would not-do'f or a canvassing agent for the Sunny South he tells tales out of school. Fros', says he, was in Stamy county last Monday morn ing. Our people are bidding for North em capital and Northern settlers to help us bring out the rich possibili ties of the South, while others write them novels that tell how preachers cannot read. Capital is timid and doesn't like to tarry where people haye such blind spiritual leaders. Rev.

Up in Michigan a husband the other day assassinated the man who was visiting his divorced wife. In New York city a husbaud cut his wife's throat for supposed infidelity, and another man tried to shoot bis wife for a similar cause. The two sections seem to be trotting along hand in hand. There it is presumed the people live in nice houses and have preachers that can read. The mountains of North Caro lina are much to blame for this weather. They are holding up their heads covered with snow. . A Most Awful Affair at Smith's Ford. One night a party of white boys about four in number were angling in Rocky river, on the western bank somewhere between Garmond's and Turner's mills. Discovering that four colored bors were fishing on the same bank, at a short distance, they determined to give the dusky gentry a surprise. Accordingly, they filled hats and pockets with small stones, and, -with noiseless tread, proceeeded to where the party was stationed ; on reaching which they threw their missiles with great rapidity, thereby frightening away he unsuspecting blacks,one of whom sustained several painful bruises about the head. Halting where stones were in easy profusion, the fugitives soon unanimously resolved to retaliate. The whites were giv ing vent to their mirth in prolonged guffaws, and were congratulating themselves as being unspeakable "busters," when, suddenly, they were furiously assailed by the enemy and driven, routed, from the strong hold. The fugitive whites fled in rank disorder to a protected spot, to rest themselves and mature plans for a second escapade on their part. Assuming a very warlike 'attitude, each armed himself with the ever futile stones, and rushed oa to the blacks, ponring volley after volley into their lines, until the missiles were exhausted, then the aggressive party retreated tumultuously, and after some deliberation decided to cease hostilities and go home. To doco, cne had to cross the riyer. Being apprehensive for his own safety, he prevailed on the others to accompany him in a boat and see him safe on the opposite bank. The stream was crossed without a single presentiment of danger, but just as the boat touched the.bank, two col" ored personages appeared with the avowed purpose of revenge. They were provided with a lioeral supply of fragmentary rocks and a fierce looking cudgel for each. Uttering a savage execration by way of in troduction, one of them ominously vociferated: "You rascals hev ben rockin' us, now we's got you." And with a flourishing grin he reiterated, "We's got you." Instinctiyely, the youth in the front part of the boat gaye it a vigorous push from the tank; ob serving which motion, the negroes began hurling their rocks at the oc cupants of the boat, who prostrated themselves and were piotected by the sides of the vessel. When about mid-stream one oi the youths be coming desperate, threw himself into th s water and swam for the shore, without receiving any injuries except the sad loss of a shoe. Reach ing the bank, he did not tarry long to ruminate on the sad vicissitudes of terrestrial life, but hastily loco- nioted toward home, sweet homo. The remainder of the party, who clung to the boat as a forlorn hope, ultimately reached the etraud oue of them had the courage to wieid an oar-and followed tne example of the former. The one who was to hive crossed the river Bought refuge in a friendly neighboring barn, and, in the utmost safety, spent tne remain der-of the night in the arms of Mors phens. Augustine. Mow lBn't this awtnirj The Discovery Saved Bis Life. Mr. G ' Caillonette, Druggist, Beaversvills, 111., says: "To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe my life.

But a few weeks ago a fire broke ont in the barn and burned not only the building and the hay, bnt most of the animals also. After the fire the owner walked oyer the ruins. It was a ead sight to see th-' charred bodies of his flue Jersey cows and his high spirited horses. But at tbe end of the barn he saw a sight which touched him more than the rest, Tbtre sat an old black hen. He wondered that she did not move her head to lool at him as he came near but he thought she must be asleep, He poked her with his cane, and to his surprise the wing he touched fell into ashes'. Then he knew she hau been burned to death. But out from under ter wing came a faint peep, and pushing her aside with his cane the man found what do you think ? ten liva yellow chickens. The poor hen bad eacrificsd her own life to save them. That Bight touch ed him more than anything else. Socmen's Arnica baivc.
