V V 0D8TT, N. O 1 r 1 THUBSDAY, MAY 23, 1895. AMES P. COOK - - J-ditob THE UOOD OLD STATE. There is a something mall this stir, the cantre of which is in Raleigh, that inspires a greater love for one's native State. History, and it is that part that has been subjected to rigid accuracy in the hands of those who knew, tells to the world that the old North State famished to the cause of Mid-defense of the Confederacy 126, 000 soldiers, ef whom 42,000 per ished by the bullet, the hunger of war or the exposure of the camp. These were North Carolinians our fathers, oar brothers, our own. Their grayes must be kept green, as the memory of their sacrifice, their patriotism and their loyal love for their mother 'State will, ever be cherished and defended by those who Burvive. He, that is not gone astray after false fcods, that has not allowed his r?Mia to carry a flaid of bitterness and hatred, that has not allowed prejudice and wild craze to make of him a fool, that still has coursing through his veins the pure blood of a white map, cannot feel too proud that noble women and noble men, wbom Ood loves and smiles upon. have at lsst consnmma'ed the labor of loye "The monument to the Confederate Dead." It is a mark of statesmanship, of manhood, of honor, of all that's good and ennobling, when men show a just appreciation for the memory of those who fell in answering the call of the country. North Carolina has honored her ee'J in doing honor to the 42,000 North Carolinians who gave up their life-blood upon the fields of battle in-the days of '61-C5. Live on patriotism down with that spirit that befouls" the good name and honor of the State and her people, and damned be the cowardly spirit that will not be found, at all times, defending the Stale, her men, her women against any and all things that seek to be- orsteal from her any of bless the women and the en, who haye made it possible for Old North State to be fonnd doing its dntj. ft REPrTATIOJf ABROAD. To everyone, who is 'oval to his section, true to tLe best interests of hia home and a well-wisher of man kind, the facts of our substantial growth are indeed gratifying. They are known tar and wide. The outside world holds Concord in splendid opinion indeed our name is excellent away from home. In another column, The Standard finds juBt cause in saying some thugs about our very worthy and excellent neighbor, Stanly county That she is looking upward and pressing forward, is gratifying to us. This is fellow-feeling that must be appreciated and, for. the common good must be encouraged. It is a compliment to Concord that people entertain the feeling ex - pressed in . these words : "It's no trouble for Concord to do anything." the 7 This is the remark made . to us by " r. E-Searn, a very prominent and successful busirresientleman of Stanly county. This inspires confi - dence Our people, the great bulk of them, have long Bicce learned to ap : predate the prefince in oar midst of the Odells, Fetzer, Cannons and many others, who do their all for the growth of Concord. t- They have built factories because they had the pluck, the ability and the confidence of and in Concord. The great work they nave done, . has been to us all, whether interested directly or not, a source of benefit No man has done a more patriotic and unselfish work than has Mr. " P B Fetzer in giving to Concord, at an immense cost, a splendid eyttem of water works, one that is ten years ', ahead of the town. , " We might prolong this in tell ing what others have done but space docs not admit. What we all want is more confit deuce in tne town, it mere be any doubting Thomases among us, just retail the town a photograph ten - years ago see the steady, solid march. If this be not enough, hear the wjjrdsjaf btmesVT people 'awayTrom here ami see the print ed impressions that go into outside journals inspired by good people that come among us they speak well and they inBpire confidence, ' ' Truly none can lack in apprecia t'i el Concord, when the facta are TUVE HOSTS CA.HOUAflA.KS. 'The good order of the day was remarkable. Of all the 35,000 or 40,000 people on the streets not one was hurt. There was no pocket picking or swindline and only two drunken persons were Been ; one a veteran last night, and a man in the early morning. In all this world there was neyer a more orderly throng of people This is the com ment of visitors and residents alike." This comes from a Raleigh cor. respondent of the Charlotte Ob server. It is a remarkable and gratifying showing. Only two drnnks in a crowd of 35,- 000 people ! This is a record that challenges the world . It cannot be surpassed. . It makes us proud. All this means something it means that North Carolinians are the equal of the best ; it means that they do not deserve the bard names that bias and unholy ambition puts on us behind our backs. It means that our people encourage sobriety, and are moving on in advance of many who have heretofore had rather poor opinions of us. Thirty-five thousand souls on the streets of Raleigh! There to do honor to the memory of the brave ones that fell. Noble sentiment, this. Ycb, more than that it was a public outpouring of delegates from every section of the State to do duty to the Uvea and deeds of men, who, in life, were patriots and honors to North Carolina. ABOUT JOHN N. MEJfDEKSOX. The Wilmington Messenger is friend of silver, if a friend of any thing; and here is its explanation of the reason why Mr. Henderson was not aoDOinted Collector and some other interesting matter : Ex-Eepresentative Jno. S Hender son could not get the appointment of Internal Revenue Collector be cause he was the staunch friend of silver stood by the people and against the Cleveland movement for a single gold standard. Mr. Hen derson is already named favorably for the next Democratic nominee for Governor. A dispatch from Winston of the 10th instant, said : "It was learned here yesterday that there is a movement on foot anong the leaders of the Demo. cratic party to loom ex. Congress man John S Henderson.of Salisbury, for Goyernor of North Carolina on a siyer platform." Mr. Henderson is a good lawyer, has been a faithful Representative, has the reputation of an honest man a trustworthy man and a sound true Democrat. He is a member of the Episcopal Church, He would no doubt be an acceptable candidate if nominated, and if elected would make a good and faithful Governor, THE INCOME TAX. The Supreme court of the United States has made the Income Tax Law no good, by declaring it, in a note of 5 to 4. unconstitutional. The majority of newspaper read ers have been prepared for just such news. At a former consideration of this matter one part of the law was bo used as to destroy one-half of its effects. In other words it was esti mated that the government would receive from that source $30,000,000 which, by the decision of the 8a preme court, was reduced to $15, 000,000. By the second hearing ef thia au gust body the entire law is set aside as being an insult to that great in strument,' the constitution of the United States. It is done for. As the Charlotte Observer puts it, the Republicans are against it ; half the Democrats were against it ; and the Populists, when they saw it coming, thought little of it and went prowling around for "something better," The judges against: Fuller, Field, Gray, Brewer - and Shiras ; for : Harlan, Brown, Jackson and White. ABERIEfe OF ARTICLES. About the 10th of June The Standard will begin the publica tion of a series of original articles on the "Money Problem" in all of its phases The articles will be from the pen of a Cabarrus gentle man of mature age, ripe knowledge and a scholar of political econemy. The articles are not written from a political standpoint, but will be a plain, practical treatment of the subject without bias. In fact there is to be no politics in them, bat are to be written for shedding of light on the subject. When the bulk of the people think that the government can make money, it is time for a dis cussion of the subject. That moBt excellent paper, the StatesvilleLandmark announces that at an early day it will appear semi- weekly. As good a paper as it is deserves to come out six times a week. Who is that man Clark, any. way f He's JoeCaldwell No. 2, or; , Honor to whom honor is due. Several days since . The Stahdaed took occasion to comment oh early training. It is painful to us to know that not a few regarded it the theology of a minister of Concord and not the theology of this "office; Whenever anything goes on this page uncredited or pretends to be original, it belongs in this office and was not contributed directly or in dincily by an outsider! "We take oacasion to Bay that we write our own stuff, and we1 must protest against any disposition to attribute any of our theology or editorial mat ter to the' brain of any minister. Thia is in jastice to others. . We are personally responsible for what goes on this page, except the typograpical errors occurring, unless the ears marks indicate unmistakably others wise. - - - - . The real name of Korner is not known. It is not practicable : to make Eorner's real name known. So far as the public is concerned, the correspondent' in question may be a woman. That Dr. Herring.the genial dentist friend of ours in Char lotte, may not have to carry more than it would be his pleasure to do, the Standard would say for . the benefit of those who think Jhim Korner that Buch is not the case. If there be one iu Concord, whom the elegant picture that accompanies Korner's contributions suggests a likeness, we say now that he is not the one. Perhaps the fashions of the 20th century may cause Korner to dress and appear like the figure that heads Korner's articles. We rode on the Atlantic, Tenn essee and Ohio railroad, that ha? its termini at Charlotte and Taylors ville. I hat was two weeks ago we can't get it off our mind. As a sob stitute for an ode to the daggone thing, we wish to say that we believe it is run iu the interest of Charlotte dentists, it is so rough that a ride on it jars one toothless. Unlike other things, it does not improve with age, In early railroad life, to prevent the deafening noise of the cars from making one in reality deaf, cloth skirts were- tacked around the cars' and extended aown nearly., to the- ground. If not out of -order, this long-named-8hortroad (but it's long enough ot its kind) ought - to haye its cars donned in petticoats, as were cars in days gone by. . ' The State DemocraticExecutive Committee met in Raleigh, Monday night, and adopted a. series of reso lutions. . We print them a elsewhere. That they express the sentiments of the majority of the democratic party in the state, the committee no doubt had reasons for believing. The Standard confesses to a lack of in foamation as to the pleasure of Ca barms democracy on this line. It may be said of our democratic peo ple of Cabarrus as well as the intel ligent elsewhere, that they are con servative and do not hastily jump at opinions and swear by them one year and then Bwear AT them the next. . The Standard saw that it was claimed that the Reformatory bill passed; knowing the Legislature did not, it thought probably the clerks aid. We asked for information and the Raleigh News & Observer an swers as folio ffB : The Concord Standard, which haB evidently been reading Fusion organs,"a8ks '-Did the Reformatory bill pass ?" It did not, though in a letter to the Atlanta Constitution Senatar Butler took great credit to his party for passing the bill to pro vide a Reformatory. We ' ought to have one. It is impossible to estimate with a marked degree of accurancy the size of a camp-meeting crowd, and when it comes to numbering the crowds at celebrations and un veilings of monu ments there is to such thing as ac curacy. Uut they tried to estimate the large Crowds that were in Raleigh Monday at the Confederate Monu ment ceremonies. Some have it 35,- 000 and others at 20,000. There was a big crowd and we are all glad of it. A well known minister sent South to labor among the colored p. ople waa" received with many demonstra tions of joy. At the first meeting winch he held, one colored preacher prayed for him with gnat earnest ness: "O Lord ! bless dis yer brudder what's come down frum de Nort' to preach de Gospel to us. 'Noint him wid de kerosene ile of Balvashun and set him on fire," Eyery time we declare that the backbane of winter is broken, a -cold spell follows. Will not some one petition Ji8 to quit this weather bash The Republicans will have forty three members of thj next United States'fienate provided Dupoat, Re publican, is admitted from Dele wire. The Democrats' will have but thirty-seven. 'The Populist havo eight. But Tillman and Irby claim to be Democrats. Kyle has usually voted with the Democrats. This would make forty Democrats. Allen, of Nebraska, may vote with them also. . Butler is . counted as a Republcan in fact, while Jones and Steward of Nevada are Republicans at bottom. The fact that much is . in sight, admonishes us all to take courage and hold out to the last. May cherries are ripe, blackberries are turning, June apples are coloring and red oats are out in heads. An other, pull, steady but "sure, will fetch' us to where food is plentiful But then " our appetites may - be crippled with this silver tide that is way up in G. There is the essence of the irony of fate in the case of Col. Jim Rus sell, about' whom pur local columns speak. Given .his. liberty in the eight of an officer armed with pow ers and papers to arrest! It is not giving him the chance a, cat does its prisoner, the mouse. This is attributed to the Coving' ton, Ga., Enterprise: "A New ton county colored . preacher made the following' announcement from his pulp.it last Sunday; "The Slidin Elder will open a distracted meetin' in this house endurin' of the first Sunday in May, if provident is wil lin' and de weather permit, if not den de next Sunday, whether or ro.'" It is said that Marion Butler, when hearing of the declarations of the State Democratic Executive Committee, was amused. It is re marknble. When amused, there must be smiles with it. To get up a smile on that terrible and repulsive countenance, is glory enough for one day. "- If those resolutions, by the State Democratic Executive Committee, be accepted ; what shall be done with the platform put out by the National Democratic Convention, if it does not tally with the State articles. In reality, does the finding of the com' mittee - represent the Democratic Sentiment in the State. There will be no double-barrelled platform? next year with a double meanings The people 'are in no humor for straddling or for a gun that you' can't tell how- and which way it will shoot. Is Mr. Fwher, who contributes the interesting article about the old well, right sure his well was not an old gold hole or the remains of some one's efforts looking for eternal youth waters ? Dead bj tbe Track. ' Spartanburg, S. C, May 18. Early yesterday morning, as a squad of hands were going out to work on the Southern Kail way, the body of a dead man was found lying near the track. It proved to be Ed Bates, The top of his head was . torn com pletely of and his skull was emptied of the braiiiB, which lay scattered on the ground. .His . left arm was broken between the shoulder and elbow. BJn left the city last Thursday night for hia home in an intoxicated condition, and it is thought, he .eat down .on the cross ties and weat to .sleep and was stiuck by a passing engine. Neither Sarpriaed'r Astonished. The Progres ive Farmer said, in a recent issue, speaking of counterfeit money : "If they use silver and put the proper amount in a dollar, let it circulate. If we were to find a man coining silver we would not tell it on him." Several of our contempora ries have expressed surprise at this bold endorsement of a thing stamped by the laws of God and man as a crime. ' We are' surprised at their surprise. If the Progressive Farmer should advise men who' want money to crack safes and get it, or to go on the highway and hold up men who have it, such advice would bring with it no astonishment to us and should not to any other regular reader of that' paper. It is the best agent the devil eyer. had in North Carolina. Charlotte Observer, The History of the Cent. . The first American cent was struck off and put in circulation just 101 years ago, in 1793. . Previous to that date several pattern pieces had been made but they were experiments only, and were never put in circular tion. " The Bo-called Washington centc, which existed previous to the date above given were not issued by the government, .and were, there fore, only medals. . The cent of 1793 waa very similar to the large copper of later date, with the exception that the face of Liberty was turned to the . right. ; and ' the legend One .Cent was ' inclosed in a DUKE Cigarettes SgSriHMNERKMI TOIACCQCMjjVt y MADE FROM High Grade Tobacco ABB ' ABSOLUTELY PURE STATE DEM. EX. COM. The Following; Resolutions Were A- dptedat a Sleeting- of the Executive Commute Monday Night. . At a conference of the Executive Committee of the Democratic party of North Carolina, held in Raleigh, May 20, 1895, the following resolu tions were adopted and ordered published : 1. That the Executive Committee of the Democratic party of the State of North Carolina, acting and speak ing for and in behalf of the party, republish, reiterate and emphasize the declaration of the party made in the State Convention, Augutt 8, 1894 in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 tol. 2 That time and pressing events have proven the wisdom oi this latest delaratioi of the party on this all absorbing question, and we ap peal to the Democratic press and people of the Sta'e to give to it their loyal, open and aggressive support. 3 That in advocat ng the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the Government if ibe United States we are not asking any favors or con cession from any one, but are aim ply demanuing that the great wrong done the masses., of .the American people b? the Republican party in 1873 be undone and that silver be restored to the position it occupied from the foundation of onr Gov eminent up co the prprtration of that great R; ublican crime. 4. That n our judgement the im mediate resumption of the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the government of thr United 'S'ates as it -existed prior to 1893 without waiting one moment for the co-opera tion and without reference to the conduct or policy of any nation on earth is the great duty that now con fronts the American people, and we appeal to all men of every shade of political opinion in North Carolina who believe as we do that the re storation of the free and unlimited coinage of silver meane the restora. tion of prosperity to our home to join with us in the great battle o 1896, which we intend to wage to wipe out the Republican crime of 1873, and to secure for our beloyed old State good lavs and governs meat. 5. That we send our greetings to oar Democratic brethern of Illinois, that king them for. tbe bold open and aggressive stand they have taken in favor of the immediate resump tion of the coinage of silver and we send them our assurance of our hearty sympathy and co-operation in 1896. 6. That regarding the question of the resumption of the free and un limited coinage of silver of the oyer shadowing one in American politics urge that such action be taken by the various bimetalic leagues as will open the way to a nmon of the friends of silver coinage in their support of a candidate for the PtvbN dency ana candidates for Congress who can be relied upon to stand by the people in their great struggle for financial emancipation from th evils of the single gold standard. 7 That while we concede the right of every citizen of the State to go as a delegate to the so-called sound money convention, to be tela in Memphis this week, - or to be re presented by delegates thereto, we at the same time protest that in so doing they do not represent tbe Democratic sentiment of this State An Ex Convict Steals Bible. Henry Harriston, a bnrly negro fellow, just, finished two years and six months in the penitentiary, was releaaed Sunday. Yesterday morning while coming to thiffplace on the train from Ral eigh he stole a Bible and some paint brushes from Mr, Berry Davidson, of Gibsonville, who was on the cars. Last night Officer Scott nabbed him and found some of the stolen property on his person. Henry is likely to get back to the pen in a hurry. GreenBboro Record. ' : Stock For Hale.
