2i BUMS. Ti i Charlotte Observer of Jane 12, -u commenting on the retire meet from public life of the grand old patriot, General John B Gordon of Georgia, says : General Gordon, of Georgia, haa announced that he will not again be a candidate for senatorial honors, We note this with regret, for Sena tor Gordon is a man of principl and integrity, and Georgia has none more fit for leadership, lie is one of those men who ought to be al lowed to die in harness. We do not know why he retires from the con test for re-election. Men do not often retire voluntarily from such high positions as he occupies, and Journal insists that he could easily be re-elected if he desired. It thinks "General Gordon's hold on the confidence and affection of the people of Georgia is very strong. Without disparaging the claims of any .other of the worthy sons of Georgia, we may say it is stronger than that of any other man in pub ic life. iJut General Gordon is foil of honors and is doubtless satis fied. He will retire to private life with a proud record. He rose rap idly to the front rank of generalship during the last da?s of the war. He was born a.leader,and had the quality of inspiring his men to perform almost any feat of heroism. He wonld make a short but fiery speech to his soldiers just before a charge. which wonld enthuse them almost to the degree of frenzy. They uBed to say, it is said, that if he would only make a little speech to ihem they would charge hell itself with out fear. After the war General Gordon's services have been ever more dis tinguished than during tht period of conflict He has served his State "ftaJ"thSouUI well, and he has their gntttpie, but we do not know of my pie man at the South who has don,more to break down sectional bitpr&ess and make this one country th General Goidon. A man of f$ne presence, and persnasiye elo qaetce and magnetic as a speaker, he Au never missed an occasion to pleat fr tie ntinal harmony and brotlf r'7 ,ove ln tne Date o the hustings, in often addressing gatherings of both Confederate and Union army veterans, he never lost an opportunity to speak for peace, His famous lecture, however, on "The Last Days of tbe Confederacy," has been tie greatest instrument in his bands of helping to bring about the era of good, feeling. It has been much in demand, ftorth and South, as "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was great agency in inflaming passion and bringing on the war, so this tore, in quite an opposite way, has been and is, a power fnl means for good in calming pas sion and sweeping away prejudice, Mention the name of Gordon and the concept you form of him is not so much that of the soldier and statesman, and that of the brave and broad man who is so highly es teemed by both the gray and the bine. It almost seems as it his destiny was that of the peace-maker, and, as laurel-crowned he retires to private life after good, long years of toil and sen ice, the hope of all must be tbatjhe will realize in its fullness the promise of the peacemaker's, 4re ward. -TE BIXVEK HEM 1II1S COJfVES That was a great body of men that assembled at the silver convention at .Memphis. There were many men of character there, and their records, private and public, are such that they have the respect ot the public. There were scums and rattlebrains there, too, but you find such every where. The size of the body and the character of the men are not to be hooted at and that assembly means omething. Ia a nut-shell here is the declara Hon of the convention : Eesolve, That we favor the imme diate restoration of silver to its former place as ; full legal tender, MaBdard money, equal with gold and the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact quality. That while we should wel come the co-opera tic n of other na tions, we believe the United States ahooid not wait upon the pleasure of foreign governments or the consent of foreign creditor! but should j; themselves . proceed to - reverse ; the v- "grinding prooesr " that is,7 destroy. . . iag the prosperity of the people,.and should lead by their example the nations of the earth. Under the . financial policy that p""---, we see to THE FIRST AKTICLE. Sometime Bince The Standard announced that in June it would be gin the publication of a series of articles on Money and the Money Problem. We publish today tbe 1st; it is on Money. These articles are written from no political standpoint, but are to be a plain, practical presentation of the faots and figures pertaining to this important and conspicuous subject, now under discussion all over the country. The author is a prominent gen tleman, of scholarly attainments and for years has been a close student of political economy. He selects for his name "Savigny," merely to gratify his modesty in keeping out of print his real name. But in reality, our "Savigny" may not al together conceal his identity if the student of biography recalls the record of Friedrich Carl von Savigny and his family name, especially when his great learning and influ ences were being felt in Germany during the early part of the 19 cen tury. It is our purpose to publish one of these articles each week until the series is completed. And we feel confident that Standard readers will enjoy these articles and it con gratulates itself upon its good for tune in persuading so scholarly a gentlemen to write on a subject that is now at fever heat the country oyer. BAD TO EXPLAIH HIS PHlYCR. Never in the history of this country has a man been called upon to ex plain the utterance of his prayer. Heretofore he could pray as long as he desired, inolude everybody and everything in the petitions for help and mercy, and be not disturbed in it The time has been when an un sofisticated man, being called on to ask the blessing at a dinner, not knowing any could recite the Lord's Prayer, or say Now I lay me down to sleep, etc.," and not be called up on for an explanation. But out in Memphis at the Silver Convention, Estes, the man who prayed, implored divine guidance for the delegates and hoped they might be led into adopting "honest money" as their platform. A storm followed. A protest went up. Estes had to explain his prayer. They wanted to know what hi meant by "honest money," and to Bave himself he said "tree silver." Whenever people become so cattle fied as to stop a man in his prayer and demand an explanation, there is a craze sweeping the country. These are times that try men' souls. Be silver or gold, or both men have no right to saw off short prayer and demand an explanation of the petitioner. It is comforting to know that the county commissioners of Bnrke county bave not purchased 1,500 copies of Abernethy's H 11 You Say." It's bad enough to have them printed, to say nothing of selling them. The graded schools of Salisbury have gone and made the Bame big mistake that was made with ours there is no head at all to the schools, But here it could not be helped, for want of funds. May be the same in Salisbury. Those desiring a cheap and de lightful trip not for any ednca1 tional advantage, for such is not to be had can find comfort in the rates to Morehead.

He did not like it, and unlike . the others, he comes back tor some good water and fesaes up. The Baleigh News and Observer is only one thousand years ahead of time this (Thursday) morning, as is seen in the President's proclamation. Thi Stahdahd was not a little surprised at the utterance of the N. C, Christian Advocate on the subject of tbe money problem. It adyieed all to see which side the bankers are on and then choose the other. We cannot pursuade ourselves to do such. f We cannot believe all monied men and bankers-are traitors to tjie best interests of the people and the country. We could yery easily under stand how such sentiments could come from some sources, but we t persuade ourselves to believe Blair penned those words. They ke his fair and ' courteous iteps in Salisbury on which Washington once stood to sh are still intact X Half Human ad Half Calf. Bev. S L Swam, of Burnswick county, who was here yesterday, stopping with his friend, the Bev. L Sellers, 115 South Front street, brings news of a monstrosity in the shape of a half calf half human of which a cow in Shallotte township became the mother on Friday May 81st, The cow belonged . to Mr. William Frink and the monstrosity was born on the plantation of Mr. Frink'8 father-in-law, Mr. Cornelius Thomas. It had no tial and half of its face and body were human, in cluding a perfectly ihaped shoulders, arm, hand, leg and foot. The other half was that of a calf, and the thing walked erect. On Saturday June the 8th, Mr. Frink went to his father-in-law's and when they went to a grove to see the curiosity, they found that somebody had killed it They don't know who killed it, but they say it was getting along well the last time it was seen alive Wilmington Messenger. Tne Colonel Didn't Know Illui. Col. James W Long this morning Btepped into Dr. L M Aichej's' office, where a number of men were discussing the clifierent trades, and among tbe number was Key. Wright G Campbell. Bev. Campbell shook hands with Col. Long, but Col. Long didn't recognize him, concluding at once that Mr. Campbell was Mr John BobinBon, once a resident of this place and proprietor of the Morris Hotel. For about two hours Colonel Long talked with Mr Camp-, bell, telling all about bis Mississippi trip and his wonderful soap story, and is yet ignorant of the fact that he was talking to Mr. Campbell, who he is expecting some time Boon. It la Pnre Cola. A reporter was told a rather fishy story about a crow one that had been killed near the nugget gold mine, in No. 9 townships this county, which was thrown in the branch below the rocker where the gold is washed. The crow has pet rifled, the story goes, feathers and all, and bears a beautiful golden cast. It is one of the most remark able finds ever heard of in this sec tion . Had it been a hen, we wonld be willing to wager something on being the one that lays so much gold in that part of the county, and we aro almost lead to believe that is the very same hen that produced the golden egg. Maryelouat KesultH. From a letter written by Bev. Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we are premitted to make this ex tract: "I have no hesitation in re commending Vr. King's New Dis' covery as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife, While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Biyer Janction she was brought down with Pneumonia sues ceeding La Grippe. Terrible pars oxysma of coughing would last for hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr King's New Disoovery, it was quick in its work: and highly satissactory in results." Trial bottles free at Fetzer's Drug store. Regular size 50 cents and $1.00. Molecules In a Pin Head. Two young men of this city have been working on a little insignia cant pin head for three nays, and have discovered that the number of molecules in a pin head is 78,480, 000,600,000,000,000. If you would count the number of molecules in a pin head, at the rate of ten million a second, it would take you 250,000 years. This is an interesting calculation. Don't you think so ? A Cow Tale. Friday afternoon a cow was pas tnring in a swamp near tbe bleach ery. J. be owner ox tne cow went to drive her home. The animal wa stubborn she would not go. Mr. John Welsh, the owner of the cow, resorted to the old method of mak ing her move by twisting ber tail, The tail was broken and bad to be amputated, and from the immense loss of blood the cow died. The funeral took place today. tcood ReeorarorWadeaaoro.

Nkfpoed His ItomUmnn and Hiked Out," Didn't Show Up in Charlotte The clever counterfeiter and free silver advocate, Henry Neal, of No. 1 township, this county, who was ar rested for imitating Uncle Sam in the coinage business several months ago, has gone, we Know not where. He has -not put in his significant appearance at .federal Court in Charlotte, and a Standard reporter is informed that he has " hiked out." A true bill was found by the grand jary and Lib name called, but no " here " was heard. His father, Mr. Andy Neal,who was his security, is in the lurch for several hundred dollars. His counterfeit money was pretty well distiibuted over the county, but the little game he worked on Mr. W. B. Harris wouldn't go his money either. He has gone, however.
