A HE.: STANDARD. VONOOKD, VAiS&iUiUB UJU.Mii JAMES P. COOK, - EDITOR- n - I "Vt O OCTOBER 17, 1895. THE FIEXD IS JAII.. There is no pleasure in printing the news of the horrible crime that was committed in Cabarrus county last Friday night. The 'black fiend, having assaulted a def endless woman in her own home in the dark of midnight and committed .his foul deed, now lies behind the bars in the county jail. Our people are law abiding, eyen under gross insults from foreigners as has been recently demonstrated. The law will be al lowed to take its course. But where are the people who would wait the glow proceES of the law, were such a deed to be committed several times in the same section, as has been the case in other sections of the South ? The great North itself has its lynching bees, and subjected to Buch insults and crimes as occur in the South she would rse up aDd Burn pass us in speedy penalties and punishments. Away with this Blaudering of the South ! Away with the traean spirits that break down the barriers that separate and the spirits that make no distinction ! The nepro has made a full con fession; and the authorities have him in safe custody for the process of law. ACTIKO A NOYEMST-S CHARACTER. Mrs. Amelie Kive3 Chandler hae dropped the last name, by virtue of a divorce. "Incompatibility" was the wedge that broke the marriage yews of Amelie Eives and John Armstrong Chandler. She applied and he made no resistance. "Incompatibility" that big word comes in and breakr marital vows, and adds two more ti the divorced columns, one that it too large now or indicates that there are too many rushings in where tn. gels fear to tread. Amelie Eives' alpha and omega, eo far as the public is concerned, are sensations. She suddenly be" came famous about eleven years ago when she thrust upon the public t 'feverish volume," which she was pleased to call "The Quick or the Dead." Of it a critic said : "The book was well written, f airlv plotted, but succeeded rather for the flavor of fever in it than o! any merit whether of the story itself or the atyle of the English employed in telling it. Altogether, it was not of the sort a cold or careful judge would describe as "healthful litera ture." She's made several attempts since at noyel writing, but her efforts never produced the excitement and attention as did "The Quick or the Dead." Her first effort reached, at one bound, the zenith of her career as an authoress. John Armstrong Chandler is said to be 35 years of age, large, athletic, frank, intelligent, handsome, and wealthy and yet the record says in Compatibility was the rock on which that matrimonial vessel went to pieces. - . Amelie Kives suddenly thrusts herself into notoriety again di vorced I what sensational, to be sure. ' UTERATCRE AXD MATRIMONY. Eight on the heels of the an. nonncement of the marital infelici ties of Amelie Kives-Chandler, many newspaper wricers are giving long dissertations on the folly of authoresses in taking upon them selves matrimonial vows. To these - writers there seems a wide cashm be tween literature and conjugality, so far as the females are concerned. But these two women, among the many female writers of note, can hardly establish beyond question the txistence of "incompatibility" in marriages where the women are writers of literature. Domestic dis agreements occur in all clatscs, and the records can not show more cases of "incompatibility" between mar ried literary women and their bus bands than exists between men and their wives, who have never written or read a "Quick or the Dead." ; If these articles continue, the ef - feet upon the matrimonial alliances - of "the future may be each as to in crease that already too large ; class, the bachelor; or else, rather than be literary and not marry or marry and be confronted w.th "incompaHb.lity" fterwardfl, may diminish the large i number of girla who are now in our many schools where literary (?) wo men are made in a course of study that would about fit b boy for the "i c-i cf an ordinary in stitnticn. , , - '- - - "Bat let there be no alarm on this marrying question. The two cases quoted can't b? regarded as a fair sample; for it is said that Mr. Chan dler, himself, did not objKt to end ing the relations wherein a pack of dogs afforded his wife more pleasure than did the .presence of her hus band. Every literary woman does not cere for a pack of dogs, content ing herself at most "with one solitary See, feist, fiste or fyst, . Clergymen are busy tying nuptial knots. Sone girls play with a man's affections, and others work him. The bicycle girl doesn't care whether her bloomers bag at the knees or not. The net receipts of the tour of 26 towns by the Oxford Orphan Asylum children this summer was 1,259.20. Senator Pasco, of Florida, like Senator Call, sympathizes with the Cubans. There are several millions of other people in this country who do ditto. A Belgian doctor has discovered that yawning hat a salutary effect in throat and ear troubles.

May be thi3 is all on account of Charlotte having a Gattling gun and Zack Smith. Spain has just negotiated a loan of $15,000,000 with which to carry on the Cuban war. Why does not the Spaniard profit by the example of the thrifty Englishman and Bell a duke or two ? The Stakdakd wants Joe Daniels and 7 E Christian to stay at Lome.

Water is btcomiiig eo scarce in some portions of Kentucky that farmers who have wel's with water in them tie the bull dog near them to prevent other Kentuckians frcrrt stealing the water. This may sound like an improbable story coming f ron Kentucky, but it comes on the att'hority of the Kentucky" papers. Western Populists propose to hold their next National Convention at Atlanta on the 21st of February next, ad nominate their candidate for the Presidency on the 22d Washington:8 birthday. They ought to have it cn the anniversary of the death of Fred Douglass. That rope to a students neck at Butler University is pretty exciting. It occurred way up yonder where they don't have lynchings and from a land of spotlessness. To us it seems pretty severe, but then we can not comprehend all the ways people in those glorious lands haye of being funny. That's the way they play in Northern schools. The sensation in Denver, Col., is a "Messiah" who goes by the tn poetic name of Schlatter. He drifted there from New Mexico, and is a man of comaanding presence, whose long, flowing hair, parted in the middle, and serious countenance would attract attention anywhere. He doesn't preach, but has the repu tation of performing multitudinous and miraculous cures by . blessing. Thousands of people flock to him to be cured, and they seem to have faith in him. Now that the organization has reached its zenith in strength and influence and is rapidly going down the hill on the other side, it might, with truth, be said that the Farm ers Alliance "Our noble Ordei" did not Iiyeaud flourish and begin its now rapid decay without the accomplishment of one thing:, it knocked sillyj at one blow, the Jute Bagg'ng TruEt; and the second blow laid it out the deadest corpse you eyer saw. Had the noble order stopped there or even before its schooling of large numbers made it possible to have North Carolina represented in the United States Senate by the traitorous Butler, ail would be forgiven. " Te Chicago negro preacher who advised the colored people of the South to ply the torch to avenge the lynching of negroes, gave , some very unhealthy advice, and took , mighty good care to give it for a loDg taw. He would get his folks in trouble while he-would be safaout of harm's way. He might make himself very nsef nl to his Deode if instead ol giv ing such foolish advice he ..came South and started a crusade against the Crimea. which provoke lynching. . cpTToiv-rnicEs.. Conflicting influences are always at or it for the control of the cotton market." They are seen now engaged in a mighty struggle. There are the speculators-the bears trying to de press prices, and the bulls trying to raise them. The bulls may want prices higher in order that they may unload contracts at a profit, while the bearers may want them lower in order that they may buy in antici pation of a raise. Thus the bull of today may be the bear of tomorrow, and yice versa. The manufacturer is necessarily always a bear, as he wants to buy for consumption as cheaply as possible. On the bull side is always arrayed the producer and with him the great public, which wants to see cotton high even though it may have to pay higher for cotton goods. At the present time the bulls have the better of the argument, and . it looks as if the higher prices will be permanent. It is well, in this connection, to look the facts in the face and to realize that there has been an adyance in prices not because the speculators willed it so but because the cotton crop is universally believed to be a Bhort one. If this opinion is conr firmed, prices may be expected to continue higd; if it should be nega tived by the facts, a decline may be looked tor. But the law of supply and demand is regulating prices, as it always does. From the advance which set in some weeks ago and is still maintained it ought to be ap parent to anybody that the silver question has nothing to do with the matter. The same coinage laws exist now that did last year when cotton was 5 cents a pound. States ville Landmark. HOLD VOI R OITOX. We believe it is now safe to advise the farmers in the cotton belt to hold their cotton as long as possible. If you must sell, then put it on the m rket slowly a little at the time. Such adyice has not always been safe, and we have hesitated, but thiai ii is now settled that the crop will not be over 6,000,000 bales, probably less, and the demand will be for eight or cine million bales. The most liberal government and ex pert reports show that the condition is not above 65, and frosts and storms may socn bring it below that estimate. Progressive Farmer. Thank the Good Lord! At last! Shake, old boy, shake. In these days when eyes are beginning to be opened, it is the last thing on earth to expect an old hardshell to come out and declare a thing against which he has howled . for months. Supply demand, eh ! The supply is six millions bales; the demand is for eight or nine millions. Now that the Progressive Farmer admits that supply and demand regulate prices, there will be no future trouble on this score. The new woman is not always a young wo nan. She may be an old one, who hides the wrinkles with powders ana makes the apparrel Bhe wears a first cousin to that usually found on sweet sixteens.

Typhoid fever preyails "to an alarming extent," as the local news papers say, in the city of Washing, ton. During the five weeks ending with October 5 th there were sixty six deaths from this cause, and on the 7tt instant the health officer ex pressed the opinion that there were at that time ''between 400 and 600 cases" of the fever in the city. There is in jail at Fayetteville a prisoner who has a history.

Still heavier ones were then riveted on him. Thursday these were found hanging en a hook, while Watson walked around his cell. . Mrs Armelia E arr, writing to the editor of the Ladies' home Jour nal, says: "I want a minister who will preach the gospel, and not politics, prohibition, sanitary science. Ministers who think to draw people by preaching everything but the gospel, make a great mistake. There is nothing that draws like this old fashioned gospel. People may be temporarily attracted by these' out side subjects, but many more are grieved ard disappointed- - It is al ways safe to preach the preaching that is spiritual and old-f ashiaed.

" Cha blottesville, Va.. Oct 12 Mrs, Amelia K'ves Chanler was seen at the Eiyes home, Castle Hill, fifteen miles from Charlottesville, and questioned as to the cause which led her to secure a divorce from J no. Armstrong Chanler. She said there was really nothing to say beyond what had already appeared in the papers. "Ihe public," Mrs Chanler laughingly said, "will be grievously disappointed when the evidence in the case is giyen out. There is nothing of a senational character about iu - My lawyer will give, out any information proper for publiea' tion." "Where was the decree granted ?" was asked. "I must decline to answer," said Mrs, Chanler. "I will not say anything more than has been pub lished." In reply to another question, Mrs Chanler Baid that it was some time ago that the divorce was granted and that Mr. Chanler has been repre sented at the trial. "But," she added, "there was really no defense he could make. Later on she said : "Mr. Chanler and I are the best of friends, but we have seen very little of each other for years. He owns the place adjoining Castle Hill and spends a great deal of time on it, but I have never lived there." Mrs Chanler said she had no plans for the future. "Just now I am living at Castle Hill, riding and driving and enjoy ing the country," she concluded.

Indianapolis, October 12 The seniors of ' Butler University on Thursday night held a meeting at the residence of President Butler, whose son is a senior, and members j of the nnder classes attempted to break it up. Arthur Carpenter, a senior, was caught on the lawn and bound with the president's clothes line, and was being dragged away when his friends came to his rescue. A pitched battle followed. The seniors finally succeeded in dragging Carpenter iato the house, where the doors were barred and the attacking party kept out. iesterday the seniors appeared in class with pieces of rope tied in the buttonholes of- their coats as trophies of their victory, and an attempt was uiide by members of the under classes to divest them of the offen siye badges. A scuffle followed dur ing the first hour, but the n-en were finally separated. As the seniors came downs'airs at 10 o: clock they were met by a de. termiued force, and the fight was re newed in an effort by the under class men to get the pieces of rope.
