In this issue will be fonnd a- let
ter from H A Gudger of no little
Interest He does not, as w could
wish be had, reply directly to The
Citizen's inquiry as to whether he
Lad left the Democratic party. He
replies by Btating his grievances
against the Democratic party, but
does not say whether they seem to
fcim sufficient to justify a man who
believes in the leading principles of
the Democratic paity, in leaying it
Let us note his complaints in the
order in which they are made.
1. Congresa did not "utterly" fail
to redeem the pledges made the peo
ple. The federal election law, the
iniquity of which Mr. Gudger is
doubtless familiar witb, was repeal
ed. Congress did revise the tariff,
not, it is true, as thoroughly as it
should, nor, so for as it went, pst
as it Bhould ; but Mr. Gudger must
admit that enough was accomplished
to forever prevent the Republican
party from again saddling this coun
try with a high protective tariff after
the McKinley idea.
2. We have answered this com
plaint in the foregoing.
3. If the Republican party had
remained in power the bonds might
have been issued, just the same.
The plates were already prepared,
under order from Secretary Foster.
4. The great manufacturing in
dustries were not paralyzed by any
thing the Democratic party did, are
not paralyzed now, and are not liKely
to be. They are showing, under the
Wilson bill, a healthy and daily in
creasing activity, with ever broaden
ing fields for their products. The
Democratic revenue bill would have
been ample to meet the expenses of
the government if one? Republican
juBticeof the Supreme court had
not changed his mind between two
moons and declared against the con
stitutionality of the income tax.
-5r -County fcvernnisnt no longer
exists in North Carolina.
6, The country is now on a prac
tical bi-metallic basis.
It still remains to be learnad
whether Mr. Gudger will bear with
e -Democratic party a while longer
or not Asheville Citizen.
I A 1. 1, 'RItiVEH KO GOLD.
A very prominent and successful
business man of Concord, suggests a
novel plan for our money. His mod
esty is so great that we withhold his
name. '
He suggests that gold be done
away with entirely and that the
money be in silver. This is to be
the standard money; and gold be
not coined but become merely a
commodity on the marKet.
It a man wants gold for any pur
pose, let him take his silver money
and buy gold as he would any other
product of the soil or commodity on
the market
If, perchance, this falls under the
eyes of the author of Coin's Finan
cial School, he may write another
book for the hungry people.
certain gentlemen of this sec
tion, speaking of the free and un
limited coinage of silver, made this
illustration : A man hauls a big
load of wheat to Crowell's mill it
is converted into flour and to make
the illustration similar Mr. Crowell
does that for nothing free. What
good will that do the masses, unless
they have the wherewithal to buy
the (coined wheat) flour. If the
flUe and unlimited coinage of silver
obtains, the owners of laige silver
mines get their products coined free
at the government's (your) expense.
Will that do tLe masses any good?
There is no silver down here. How
you going to get the silver without
. something to give for it.
They talk about the demonetiza
tion of silver in 1873. How is that ?
What do they mean? Up to that

Thus a prominent political fif ure is
removed from the platform. Presi

The patriotic action and magnifi
cent benefaction of Mr. Chailes B
Rouss, an ex Confederate private
soldier, in giving $100,000 to have a
hiBtorj of the South in the great
war written and illustrated, is well
done, most timely .and an excellent
example to other men of means.
Select the right man and have the
precise facts given to the world in

slanders and falsfier3 "up there."
Wilmington Messenger.
How many people who cry and
howl for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at 16 to 1, know
what 16 to 1 means ? The most ar
dent theorists on that subject are
said to think it means 16 sliver dob
lars to 1 gold dollar, while others
believe it means 16 silver dollars to
each person this Am?rican nation
over.

CONCORD'S CHILDREN. j

The Ceiimis lull on By jfr. II 91 Good
man Is of Interest.
. The Graded School Board had Mr.
H M Goodman to take the census
of the children of Concord between
the ages of 6 and 21 years, of both
races.
The result is interesting and we
herewith publish the census by
words; and on his rounds, Mr. Good
man took a note of the families
those that had children between the
ages of 6 and 21. There are a num
ber of families (man and help-mate)
whose names do not grace a position
on Mr. Goodman's list they are
not needed. The record is good
enough anyway.

There are 149 more white girls in
Concord than boys.
This is discouraging
The difference among the colored

Xol Enough Room.
The most miserable accommoda
tions at a depot on the Southern
Railway are at our own station
There are two rooms, one for the
whites and one for the colored. At
least, th;s is generally understood.
Many" times everything is crowded.
This (Wednesday)morning the situa
tion was unpleasant to say the least
of it. Seyeral colored people were
to go off on the north-bound train;
about a four-horse wagnn load went
down to see them off. They took
charge of the colored waiting toooj
in part and the white waiting room
entirely. Several white ladies were
forced to remain on the outside and
do the beBt they could.
The Standard speaks of this
without prejudice to call attention
to two matters that ought to be
remedied.. First, this thing of a
car-load ot people following a half
dozen departing freinds is both
unnecessary and causes confusion at
the depot. Second, the accommoda'
tions at the depot are not what
they ought to be nor what the town
deserves. The rooms are entirely
too small. They should be enlarged
and fitted up exactly alike with all
conveniences and comforts and then
have it understood that one is for
one race and the second for the
other; and this arrangement should
be enforced. When this is done
without prejudice or favor as pen
taining to the equipments of the
rooms there can not possibly ba any
trouble to ayoid what is oftentimes
very inconvenient and unpleasant.
At all other places of any size
there are two roomR and there is not
a Bhadow of a doubt who is to oecupy
them. Here the accomodations are
poor and no concern is given to
which room the traveling public
occupy, by the ticket agent.
If the railroad company would
giye Concord a decent and suitable
passenger depot,- aad the ticket
agent be up to snuff as they require
such officers elsewhere, there would
be no room for complaint by either
race.

ANARCHISTS IN. NO. 9.
An Old Man's Home Jynamited
Thursday Night Last A Xarruw Es
cape. Many of our citizens well remem
ber the romatic marriage that took
place in No. 9 township just three
years ago, when an did gentleman,
Mr. Gadison Bowen, of Pennsyl-.
vania, migrated to this county and
took unto himself to wife 3 maidea
lady, Miss Martha Coleman.
Not much has been said of this
happy, peaceable old couple since the
time of their marriage, but Mr.
Bowen was in the city today (Tues
day) and tells of a harrowing deed
perpetrated by some revengeful per
son or parsons . on last Thursday
night, May 23.
Mr. and Mrs. Bowen were sitting
in their quiet home, passing the
evening in reading and converse,
when they were 'aroused, by the
stealthy approach of footsteps on
the outside, and after taking a sur
vey of the premises, they resumed
their usual passtime. Not long,
however, after they had gotten quiet,
did the sizzing of a fuse, planted in
a dynamite, began, and in less time
than it takes to tell the story, an ex
plosion occurred, blowing up the
floor on which the old couple were.
They were the only occupants, and
it was fortunate for them that the
fbor was so high from the ground,
saving them from a horrible and in-
Btant death. The house is an old
time two-story log house, the floor
being of twelve inch plank, on one
of which Mrs. Bowen was standing
and which, when flying upward, cars
ried the old lady aloDg with it. The
shock was about all the ir juries done
to either Mr. or Mrs. Bowen, but the
flooring was completely demolished
Mr. Bowen is 7 years of age and
his wite is 54. both in good health,
and up to Thursday night last they
have had nothing to mar their
supreme happines r.ince uniting
themselves as one.
Mr. Bowen at the last term of
court reported the names of several
parties to the grand jury for selling
whiskey and improperly observing
the Sabbath day, and in seeking to
blow the happy old couple to atoms
seemed to be their mode of revenge
An investigation is now being
made, the guilty ones being hounded
and at an eariy day the The Stand
ard will tell you tlie names of the
da3tarda and a full account of their
deed.

Chicago, May 25. Pauline Ful

Morton without even having been
inside the court room. During the
entire progress cf the case sue has

The husband, James Matthew
Aubrey, Jr., admitted that he was a
drunkard and a cruel husband. There
was plenty of evidence to corroborate
his statement. The town was as
tonished six years ago when Pauline
Fuller eloped with young lubrey.
There was no parental opposition,
but they eloped for the romance of
the thing. Aubrey is studying for

there Thomas came along. D L

to throw up his bands and surren

negro replied with an oath and
thrust his hand into his inside coat
pocket, whereupon Matthews shot

POLYGAMOUS MARRIAGE 3.
Hot to Iterognizc I hem i to tlnio Out
King: Dnvlil.
riTrsBcnr,. Pa, May 27. The
last diy's session of the 107th Pres
byterian general assembly opened
with a crowded docket. An over
ture from the synod cf India
asking for a reply to the memorial
upon the subject of the baptism of
polygamous converts was considered.
A Mohammedan was admitted to the
church and allowed to retain both
wive3 in his house. A memorial
was presented asking the general as
sembly that final power be given to
the synod of India in such caeee; a
protest against this memorial was
filed, and the whole matter laid be
fore the assembly's standing coin-
mi. tee on church polity. The an
swer of the committee was that no
action should be taken, on the
ground that, according to the book
of rules, a polygamous marriage was
fortidden, and the church session
was the constituted authority to de
cide upon the admission of persons
to sacraments.
Dr. Thompson, representing the
committee, explained that there was
no concrete case before the assembly'
and that the committee indispos
ed to mteriere until judicial case in
volving the question cf polygamy
was before it. The assembly, and
not the synod, was, he said, the au
thority in judicial cases, and its
special legislation in favor of the
synod of India, was not necessary.
Dr. Morrison, representing the
synod of India, urged that that
body was competent to decide on
questions relating to matters affect
ing the customs and practices of
India. He held that recognition of
polygamous marriages by the church
in India was absolutely necessary.
Any other ru'e, he said, would rule
David out of the church.
A motion was made to refer the
whole matter to the next general
assembly. This motion was laid
on the table. On motion the whole
matter was referred back to the
committee on church polity wiih in
structions to aitend to the answer.
On return from its consultation
this committee recommended the
appointment of a committee of three
to examine into the whole matter of
polygamous marriages and report to
the next general assembly. This rev
solution was adopted.

the Price Mission church, a brick
structure, ..in Coleburg on South
