A NOVEL IDEA.
Mineral Springs for Concord Why
Not Bun the Water lrom Mlsen
heinier's Spring Lawyer Crowell
Makes a Sng-jcestton.
Ex-Mayor J L Crowell has re
turned from Patterson's Springs.
He is mnch improved, The
Standard is pleased to nay.
But while talking, Lawyer
Crowell made a novel suggestion. It
is this ;
Concord can be made a nne sums
mer and winter resort, if aBtock
company would purchase the Misen
heimer & Lentz Springs and run th?
excellent sulphur water to Concord,
into a hotel large enough to accom
modate a large patronage.
When told that tbe distance is 17
miles, Mr, Crtwell said that is al
right. The direct distance is not
over 14 miles and nalfinch pipe
can be buried. These pipes can be
Durchased for 1 cent a foot and
there is an outlay of only $739 20.
The Spring! property will have
to be purchased, and the only
trouble might be in getting the
right cf way.
The pipe might be tapped at Mt
Pleasant for the benefit of the
schools, making the expense ac
cordingly less.
Mr. Crowell thinks the ccheme
practical and, selling the water at a
cent a glass, it would be a profitable
enterprise.
Sulphur water running 14 miles
in iron pipes wouia mane a nne
medicinal combination.

WHAT A FEW PAPERS SAY.,
All Quiet Except tbe BalelR-ta Hews
and Observer Tbe Length of fceas
teems the Trouble With Most of
Them. ' t
. The Stakdaed clips, from those
papers thus far received, what they
have to say about the re-lease of the
N. C. Railroad. The majority of
the papers are against it and they
are also against the best judgement
of the private stockholders, who are
pleased, and if they are pleased why
should the State not be when it pre
vents others from realizing more
than 6 per cent on loans ?
It strikes us that the newspapers
are unduly alarmed for tbe amount
of stock they haye directly or in
directly in the road. We know
nothing of the feeling elsewhere,
but there is no dissatisfaction here
as far as has been heard. Here are
clippings :
They Merely Voted Against the
Tears.
Only two of the directors, Hon.
Lee S Overman, of Salisbury, and. F
S Spruill, of Looisburg, opposed the
lease. The action of the directors
will be severely criticised. Salis-
burh Herald.
iThelr Mock Is All Bight.
The extension of the lease of the
ftorth Carolina Railroad, made yes
terday, appears likely to raise a
storm among the newspapers. Ral
eigh Visitor.
It is Too Lons;.
It is our opinion that the directors
made a mistake in the number of
years the lease shall extend. It is
too long. And then the rate will
be rather small in the coming years
when North Carolina shall be far
more prosperous than she is now.
The Raleigh News and Observer
considers it "a blunder without ex
cuse, a crime without palliation."
The News and Observer is severe.
We do not think it is that bad.
Durham Sun.
They are all Honerabf Hen.
It was a capital mistake and . one
which will be repented of in bitter
ness. We are far from impeaching
the motives of the directors. They
are all honorable men, and we Bay
this with none of the irony with
which Marc Antony said it of
Ca-sar's murdeiers, We readily coa
cede that they haye done what they
conceived was best to be done under
the circumstances but their action
wan monstrous and they cannot
answer satisfactorily fur it at the
bar of public opinion. Charlotte
Observe. -a
This Is n Good Bate.
This is a good rate of interest,
but whether it ia as good as could be
done, we do not know. We certainly
do not think the lease should have
been made for more than 30 years.
We think the directors did wrong in
leasing it for 99 years. Charlotte
News.
Don't Tear Tour Shirt.
Our Raleigh brother,the Observer,
is liable to go into spasms if it keeps
on at the pace it set in today's is
sue alout the directors" of the N.
C. R. R. Company leasing the road
to the Southern.
The rage of the editor and all the
staff is simply terrible to behold.
But of course one or two men on
a newspaper know more about what
is best for the road than do its direc
tors who are chosen to especially
look after the property.
According to the Observer one of
two things is dead Sure either the
directors are infernal scoundrels or
the biggest fools in America,
Wboii right the Observer or
tbe directors ? Greensboro Record. '
It Was a eood Bargain.
A Record man has talked with a
numoer of conservative business
men today regarding the lease and
they are all of one mind that it was
a good bargain. .
When the State says, by statute,
that six per cent shall be the lawful
rate of interest, it looks like it ought
to be satisfied with seven.
But of course these directors will
be crucified to a man so were the
directors who first leased the road in
1870, but their action has since been
u niversally commended Greensboro
Record.
The Hew Boiler Mills.
Messrs Lippard Bros have received
about all the machinery for the new
roller mill and are placing same as
fast as it can be hauled np from the
depot. They will not be ready for
the grinding of grain for another
month. The engine, boilers, etc.,
have all been placed, and in connec
tion with the flour mill they have a
plaining machine. The capacity of
the flour mill will be about fifty
barrels per day.

Ordinance 25 Must be Enforced
'And what they did Monday night

morning, when another asked bim
about the final action of the town
board of commissioners in regard to
riding bicycles on the sidewalks.
The ordinance j robibits the riding
of a bicycle on any sidewalk in tbe
corporate limits of the town, the
penalty for same being a fine of
$5 or imprisonment for ten days.
This law goes into effect on and
after August 23.
As to ordinance No. 25 of the

cided that the police should notify
all merchants in person of the ex.
istence of the law and that it would
be strictly enforced. Ice houses are

Horse ana Buggy Thief Caught.
The horse and buggy thief has
been captured in Spartanburg, S. C.
It is belieyed this is the fellow that
stole Mr. Chas. A Murph's buggy.
The Charlotte Observer says this ;
The thief who stole Mr. W B
Newell's horse was caught at Spar
tanburg, S. O., on 8nnday. He gave
his name as O O Campbell, an es
caped convict. He stole the baggy
that he had from Mr, Chas. Murph,
of Concord, who offered $15 reward
for it. He will not be brought back
here without requisition from the
Governor. He will be brought here
as quickly as possible. No particu
lars haye been learned in regard to
hiB deviltry.
Some one broke into the store of
F W Bost & Co., at China Grove
last night a week ago, and stole a
good quantity of jewelry, pistols,
gold rim spectacles and silk hand
kerchiefs, amounting in all to about
$100 worth. It is believed it was
the same thief who has been caught
in Spartanburg.

Mr. W G Boshamer is a fine gar

&unaay nignt burglars got in
their work in the west end of the,
city, having visited a number of

entered the room of Zeb Parnell and
in ransacking and plundering things,
one of them caught young Parnell
by the foot, which awakened him.
O it the window they went, Parnell
following them, firing at them sev.

Several other houses were visited,
but nothing is reported as having
been stolen.
On Monday afternoon a valise had

NEAR SENECA CITY.
A Terrible Wreck Oecured Sunday
Morning About S O'eloek-One Mam
KUled-Flye i ars Derailed.
The cause of the irregularities in
the arrival of trains is due to tbe
terrible wreck on the Southern, be
low Seneca City, Sunday morning
about 3 o'clock.
It is said by parties who came in
from Charlotte last night and this
morning that the train, due nere at
8:01 Sunday morning, while running
at a rate of 70 miles per hour in a
short carve, jumped the track and
the whole train of six coaches, with
the exception of the engine and one
Bleeping car rolled down a 60 foot
embankment. One man, Express
man Frank Grier, was mashed to
death by heavy freight falling npon
bim.
Nothing more definite concerning
the wreck could be obtained. It oc
curred near the Georgia and South
Carolina line.
A CaW That dives Milk.
Mr. Dolph Mosley, who lives a
few miles from Elkin, has a enri
osity in the shape of a young milker.
He has a young htifer one year old
which gives milk daily. The truth
of this statement is vouched for by
the best people in Mr. Mosley's
neighborhood. The Times says this
animal was born and raised in the
county of Surry and' should be
placed in a dime museum along with
Mr. Howell's milk giving steer
which hails from Wilkes.
A Wild or Drnnken Man.
About 11 o'clock this (Tuesday)
morning a man and a woman and
four or five children were in a
wagon, passing along the road jnst
below -the depot, when suddenly the
man jumped from the wagon and
reeled back and forth across the road
a time or two, picked np a rock,
gave a yell and ran toward the
creek as hard as he could. He then
8 toed in one position about 200
yards from where he started to rani
and cursed God, man and eyery liv
ing thing that exists. It was quite a
while before he could be quieted and
gotten into the wagon. The man
was either wild or crazed with
drink.
He Is the "Equal mt Webster."
Judge Norwood thinks he has
found a eolation for the difficulty in
the law which requires the Nevem
ber terms of Randolph and Rowan
courts to be held the same week.
His plan is to open Randolph court
on Monday, try the jail cases nntil
Wednesday afternoon and then order
an adjournment Coming directly
from Asheboro to Salisbury he will
convene Rowan court on Thursday
morning. By this means a legal
term of court will be held in both
counties.
Judge Norwood is even the sane

tard to the opening and grading of
Georgia avenue, was adopted, which
means that the proposed street will
be, at an early day, one ef the many
additional improvements of the
town.
The committee offered its report
on the street asked;for on the south
side by colored citizens. The board
profosed to furnish lumber for
the purpose of building nc8sry
bridges, provided the citizens who
want the street wonld obtain the
right of way and do the grading. To
this proposition Jake Boger, the
colored people's mouthpiece, ob
jected, stating that they would not
do the work of grading. ;W C
Coleman owns the property through
which the street is wanted and will
not give the right of way, which
virtually means that the street
asked for is altogether out of the
question,
Tuesday afternoon the graded
school board met and arranged the
salaries for the teachers, to be the
same for the ensuing year as last,
and the time for the opening of the
school on Wednesday, September 25.

Parties who come to towntfrom
beyond Mt. Gilead, on the Salisbury
road, make considerable complaint,
and justly so, too, about the condition
the public road is in. Farmers,
with loaded wagons, can hardly pass,
and oa Tuesday some man who was
hauling wood had his wagon to turn
over, which dumped the whole load
into the mud-hole.
It is somebody's duty to see about
this matter, and it should be attend
ed to at once. The road is almost
impassable now, and, it is said, the
cost to repair it would not amount
to much.
A Vat Caaeart,
On Tuesday a family was moving
their househould effects along Spring
street from the southern part of town
to Forest Hill, snd among other
things, were a number of cats and
kittens tied np in a bag. When the
wagon reached the front of Mr.
DaveMnrr's, the bagcontaining the
cats fell off the wagon. After strik
ing the ground the cats began fight
ing and of all curious noises, thecals
beat the record. It was a regular
concert.

Mr. Editor: A few facts en
cerning the people at CannonvtK
maybe of interest to many of"
readers, so I give the following. 4t
Some days ago I took a census of
the white population here and found
that there are nine hundred and
seventy-five of which four hundred,
and sixty-five are between six and
twenty-one years of age. What a host
of children who onght to be in
school ! One yery sad feature in this
ia that nothing like half of them
attend Sunday school.
The Union school has on roll one
hundred and fifty. Bay's Chapel
one hundred and eleven, and say
twenty-fiye (which is a large count)
attend other schools and yoa see we
have only two hundred and eighty
six who ever see the inside of a
church during Sunday school and
many of these do not attend half of
the time. Many of those who do at
tend are over twenty-one and quits a
good number under six; so our chil
dren are not in Sunda) school st all.
and yet I believe the Sunday school
attendance here will compare quite
lavorably.with that of any other
part of town. J. R. Moosx.
And the attendance will compare
favorably with that of any section of
the United States. Ed. Siandabd.
