Jti -STANDARD. NOVEMBER 21, 1895. CcKccitr, Cabaekus Cocvtt. IN.C JAMES .p., COOK, EDITOR- IT im A "SOL.ID 3SOKT1V SOW. We have scanned Republican pa pers in vaui for any . warnipgs against the d;nger of perpetuating a "fiolid" north. These iournals have for so many years denounced a solid sonh" a3 a sfctiocal nci'y prejudicial to t!ia Larniony and pros perity of the country, that we reason ' ably eipecied they would make haste also to condemn what the late elec tions reyeale J a solid xokth. But in this we have been disappointed. If there is a good reason to appre hend bad effects from sectional unity the danger must evidently to much greater when the "solid" section is the preponderant and aggressive one than when it is the minority section, always outvoted by the larger and stronger one. The "gelid south" could not control national legislation without considerable help from the north, whereas a unit;d partisan north can pass any measure which its sectional iutereas or prejudices may require. la the "wrong cx" gored this time? Must the clamor rgainst sectional unity be sailed simply because the Baction making the clamor has be come the solid one? It really ap pears so. - Duricg the whole period in wLich the south was "solid,'' or nearly so, its -repreienfatives supported not a single measure designed to injure any other "section; they demanded nothing tor the exclusive benefit of the South; they proposed nothing irritating to any other part of the countj ; their policies were all con servative and national. Will they be treated in a like manner by a now sold north. SCUlATIEi:. IMF "HESM1AII." A curious study in credulity is presented in Denver, where for sev eral weeks past Francis Schlatter, a German shoemaker, has been creat ing a sensation as a divine "healer," Denver ;3 presumably familiar enough wit'a heelers" of the ward variety, but this new specimen was a revelation, and from all accounts' the guileless people of the Colorado metropolis were taken in by him as is only supposed to be possible with innocent denizes of the backwoods. Schlatter's methods have the merit of simplicity, consisting merely in holding tha hand of the afflicted person and uttering a few words to himself supposedly by way of invo cation to "Father," from; whom he professes to receive all hi3 power. The man himself seems to be honest and well-meaning, evidently self deceived, which probably accounts for his success in hoodwinking others. lie began his career in New Mexico, where he is 83id to have worked some wonderful cures, and where he acquired a reputation as a "'Messiah." - From there he went to Denver, where he made an m stantanfaneous success. Thousands flocked to hi3 humble cottage, before which he stood all day holding the hands of the sick, the halt, the lame and the blind," refusing in' all caseaJio -Jiccept- pay for the cureslie was supposed to effect. The telegrams of the last few days, however, record an" abrupt ending to Schlatter's work in Den ver; Some fakirs who were vending handkerchiefs supposed to possess magic power from Laviog been touched by the "MeBSiah," got into court, and Schlatter, probably fear ing he would be summoned as"a witness, disappeared. .. The straDgeat thing about the whole busines? is not that Schlatter Bucceeded in imposing on the deni zens of the New Mexican wilds, bat that he should haye created such a furore in the mod?rn and en lightened city of Denver. We neei not be surprised ' e hear of his ap pearing in New York or Washington and compelling the people there to bow before his divinity. THIS IS THESTCFF THEY THRIVE OS. . ' That our readers, and -especially those in Cabarrus county, may Bee what is being written about lis in northern papera, we clip the attach ed article. We preface the article by saying that the aathor of it is an unmitigated liar. "The Morning (N. Y.) Advertiser Bays editorially : 'j- "We are Jinable to agree with the esteemed ad usually.: accurate Traveler, of Boston, when it eajs . hat the crime of lynching negroes in the South isdue primarily to the Cknltv administration of the law. :T Donraveacould not have made J a mere er . oueons statement. It will not be den; jd that crime 61 ten goes unpunished in the South, even when it is brought into court, but there neyer waa a time -when the utmost ngor of the law waa not applied to the negro, and more especially if ae ensed of a crime againat the chasityg of a white woman. -The Traveler, though it takea the wings of morn ing and scours the whole South for evidence, will not find one -case where a negro brought to trial for this crime haa not. received the full penalty of the law. It will, how ever, fand many instances where black cen haye bien accused"; have ben hunted down by the furious mob ; have alleged to have confessed and have been hanged or shot to death.. And after the "execution" it has been found tnat the wrong "nigger" was killed! Thete is no justification for the barbarioua hang ing, shooting and burning of nei groe in the South, nor is ic just to excuse these atrocities on the plea that the law ia not rigorously ap plied to offenders. The disgraceful fact is that the offender rarely lives to get into court. Once in a while he gets into jail; but that only makes it easier for the mob to find him, and hastens his end." KELIUIOl'N BIUOTKT. The London Christian World re lates an instance of religious bigotry which we believe would be impossi ble in thia cou ltry. A lady in a little town near Nor folk who happened to be acongrega tionalist visited a sick girl several times and ministered to her needs. One day the girl's mother said to this kindhearted friend: "I am obliged to ask you not to come again, for the rectcr ia', so angry at your calling." The same ecclesiastic waa recently asked to attend a meeting of the Bible Society, an institution in which all Protestant denominations cosoperate. He promptly declined the invitation on the ground that if he went "some little Baptist min ister might stand on the platform and call him brother." It would be almost impossible to find in this country a minister of any creed who would be guilty of such meanness as was shown by this Pharisee. , The feeling between the woman's religious denominations in this country was never before b'o cordial as it ia now. Ours is a land of re hgions liberty and our people respect the earnest adherents of every relig ious creed. The man who believes that his own church is the only way to salyadon has in him very little of the spirit of Christ. Atlanta Jour nal. Most any man could have a girl baby and the people outside of the neighborhood scarcely find it ent. But the better half of the Czar of Russia presented her royal highness with a girl baby about 9 o'clock. Friday night and before Sunday morning the whole world knew it. Thia ia rapid transit, or words to that effect. The young Czarina, as well as her "mammy" are said to be do'ng well. This is glad news to all of ns over here, who happen to be known to the Royal Court of Russia. "Two Editors" ia the subject of quite a complimentary article writs ten by Mrs. Fairbrother about Jo siah Turner, of Hillsboro, and Dr Kingsbury, of the Wilmington Mes senger. They are complimentary to a degree deseryed. The Stakdaed particularly endorses the worda about Dr. Kingsbury, decidedly the most literary and echolarly man, to-day, on the Sta'e press. An un. tiring worker of pure motives, is the Doctor. Does the State appropriate any funda to the support ef the TJniver sitv Foot Bail Team, that is cavort ing about over the country? The University ia the onlyj respectable institution that is allowing its boys to rush off on brutal foot culture, Other institutions are trying to look after the culture of the other end. It must be annoying for Mr. Whit ney, of New York, to be compelled so often to announce that he ia not a candidate for the presidential nomination. Thia time he is so em phatic as to say he would not accept it, if tendered. Alright ! we don't want a New York man, anyway. Oscar Wilde is in debt $18,000 and hasn't a red to liquidate.

A Soldier Writes Mr. Goodinan and Sends n Letter From a Comrade Mr. HM Goodman handed The Standard a letter, written him by Mr, J M Sloan. We print a letter, below, written to Mr. Sloan -by an old comrade. The letter to Mr. Goodman starts out "Dear 15abe," Mr. Goodman's petpwar title. Mr. Sloan was raised in Cabarrus by the late Dr. Dolph Gibson. . We publish in the sequel a letter received by Mr. J il Sloan, of Eore ka, from an old comrade in the "riost Cause." The name of the w . is Geo. D Shadbnrne, now a very prominent lawyer in San Francisco, Cal. He and Mr. S'.oaa were cap tured by the northern army, hand cuffed together for fourteen days, and condemned to be shot, but es caped from prison and this letter is a portion of a correspondence, the first between them since '65. The following from "The Nation," published in San Francisco is a par tial biography ot Mr. Shadbarne: "George D Shadburne was born in Texas, June 14, 1841. Then Texas was the Lone Star Republic, and General Houston waa President. By the treaty of Quorefaro the citizsns of the United States, with all the rights and privileges, including the presidency. Mr. Shadbnrne'a father had gone to Texas in 1846. He joined later the heroic band that rallied round General Houston for the independence of the country and took part m the principal battles under that intrepid soldier. He waa in the engagement of San Jacinto, the last great struggle, and witnessed the capture of Santa Anna, the Mexican general who had taken refuge in a tree top. In Texas Mr Shadburne passed his younger years. He finished his education, however, at the welloknown St. Mary'a col lege Kentucky, When thejciyil war broke out Mr. Shadburne was in his nineteeth year. When we consider his training and how imbued he must have been with the heroic storj of the Texai struggle, it is not to be wondered that he was eager to take part in hostilities, and ambitions of the glory that ia the romance of a soldier s life. Jlis first seryice was with the Jeff Dayis Legion operating at the beginning of the war in Vir ginia. It as not long, however, before the intrepidity and dash that charac terized him commended him to Genr eral Wada Hampton, and he was in consequence appointed chief of scouta in the secret service of the army. We may say here that since that early time a yery waam jfriend' ship has existed between General Hampton and Mr. Sbadburn--' The following in hia letter ; San Francisco, Cal., June 10th, '05. My Dear Sloan : As time goes by the sheen of former years gros brighter. I haye never lost faith in our cause of battle; our gloricu8 triumphs ; our toil and trouble, all occupy a resplendent place on the tablets of memory ; and the old war songs, we used to sing have still a martial echo in my heart, and my soul leaps with ioy when I hear of some heroic deed of a southern brother. Hence, my dear boy, do not think I haye forgotten or ever can forget that partner of my joys and sor rows, who ever willingly marched and fought with me ovr the his. toric battle -fields of our beloved aouthlond. Sometimes ' through pressure of business (I am a very busy man) 1 may seemingly neglect my old friends ; but I assure you it ia not intentional, for my heart ever yearns to the loved ones of yore. Your life and mine have been closely interwoyen. For did you not on that dark day in November, 1S64, near the Blackwater, at old Simp son's -farm, cut asunder the life of thatjyankee ciptain whose deadly aim waa direct upon me ? Did you not Bhare with me the prisoner's couch and bear the dis grace and ignominy of yankee envi ornment? Did you not with me en joy the glorioua happiness of escape from thralldom and death, icglori oua death. And did you not after those long years of battle go with me to the Mississippi? And then did we not with teajs and clasped hands bid adieu to each other and to the past, and at once enter upon what seemed to ua a direful but omnipres ent future? Ah, no! dear Sloan, we may for get many of the joy8 of life, but the Borrows that eat into the heart, ney er. And those who have stood by and fought for ua in those hours of trial, "can e'er be forget." I often think of you and portray yon to my son, Wade Hampton, who holds you a tender deliverer. Should you eyer xome this way, old fellow, I would hand over unto you the keys of my locker, and say: "Enter, eat, drink, and be merry." I have a 8 1 range longing to visit the land of my birth, dear old Texas, and again traverse the : patha of my boyhood; but sometimes I fear that pleasura is not in store for me. The treadmill of life has so many de mandj on us that not our will tut fate's umst be observed. They say there is a time Levonu the tomb, when minds of one mould, hearts of one sympathy may meet in happy" cemmunion. If .on' mother earth our walks should not trend to gether, let us at least .hope for this felicity. Your former comrade and devoted friend, Geo. D. Shadburne. The hnpremc Court Affaiii" tile Pops. The Supreme Court Tuesday ren dered a decision in the very impor tant case of Standford vs. Ellington, (Justice Furchea delivering the opinion). The case involves the title to the office of State Librarian, the pla:ntiff, E B Standford, basing hia claim upon an election by the Legislature under an act of the last Assembly amending the section of The Code which formerly provided for an election of Srate Librarian by the trustees of the Library. In the election by the Legislature the plain tiff received a majority of the votes caet. The members voting number ed 2C Senators and 43 members of the Hourb. The Supreme Court sustains the judgement of the court below and holds that the- la.m tiff, Standford, is not entitled to recover; that the election was invalid by rea son of the fact that Standford did not receive a majority of the rotes of both hou8ea of the General Assembly and that the members voting did not constitute a quorum as the total number ia 50 Senators and 120 members of the House. It was fur ther held that voting by roll call is a "division," and as the names thus recorded were less than a quorum arising iorm the fact that a quorum had voted upon a division on a pre vious vote at the same sitting, ia re. butted. This case appears to carry with it the case of the fusionist9 whom the Legislature goug'it to elect additional directors of the peni tentiary. AScgro Boy Shooiv White Cilrl A Crowd After Him. Wisstont, N. C, Nov. 18. Bob Scales, a young colored man bound to a farmer named John Meader, near Madison, today shot and fatally wounded the 12-year-old daughter of Thomas Belton, a tenant on Mea dere'a place. The negro went to Belten's house while the latter jas away from home and tried to get the girl to go with him to a piece of wood3. She refused and began to certain. Scales told her he would kill her if she declined to accompany him, and at the sime lime drew a pistol from his po;ket and shot her above the left eye. Scales i3 only 10 years of age. He has the reputation ot being a bad character. Officers and a mob of citizens are hunting for Jiim and if caught he will certainly be lynched.
