Tie great American heart gave e
sigh f relic f Saturday morning as
the news flashed over the Inn 1 ami
minds of the people that the great
Democratic convention had nom:
Dated. .
The nominee, William Jennings
Bryan, of Lincoln, Neb., though
yoang in years, his brilliancy is ex
ceptionable, oratory unexcelled and
his strength of character and hon
8sty of purpose are ur questionable
From the New York World we copy
his i brief career as written by himself:
"W illiam Jennings Bryan, of Lin
coin, Neb , was born in l?alm, Ma
rlon county, III., March 1(1, 1800;
atteuded public school under fifteen
years of sge, Spending his vacations
on the farm ; tn the fall of 1S75
entered Whipple Acadeiry, at Jack
sonville, 11; entered Illinois Col
lege, Jacksonville in 1877 ; com
pleted a classical course and was
graduated vwth he highest honors
in 1881 ; attct.ded Union College of
Law, Chic-go, II!., for two yeurs,
during which time he was connected
with the office of ex-Senator Ly
man Trumb.ill ; began the practice
of hU profersion at Jacksonville;
removed to l.inolu, Neb., October I
1887, and became a member of the
firm of Talbot and Bryan; never
held aq chet've t.ffiee piior to bit
election lo Cur.greM ; was elected to
the Fifty-second and re elected to
the Fifijit:iird Congress as a Dem
ocrat, nceiving 13,784 vo'is, againet
13,r.H vo'estr Allen W Field, Ha
public in, SG.'J vo'es for R W Max.
well.L'ibibitionist, and 2,100 votes
for Jerome Rhfinip, Populist."
Friday's conveutiou was a mixture
of statesmanship, patriotism, cynical
narrow-mindediieB.j, elc'p.ieiio-', eon
fusion, excitement and finally re
' jnicing.
Senator II ill made a gillant light
and an honorable plea. He. called
attention severally to the mistakes,
incongruities and absurdities of the
platform; sounded a note of warn
ing by referrirg to the pns.-ible fail
ore, and bepgei! i,ot. lo di ivc cut "old
Demicrats to make room for a lot of
Republicans, and old Whigs and
other Populists that will inol, vote
the ticket af'er all," and closed by
saying that, "if we kePp in (he good

If we depatt from them we oliall

Thb Sta.vda.iid has no desire to
become sore on the suhpef, but the
sanitary condition of this city is of
vital importance to our oilizeiip, and
if ever clcmliness was needed, it is
t present. Eyery day The Stan
daud bears complaint of soma ob
noxious snji-ll and that . decaying,
garbage, truck, etc., is being scat
tered broadcast over the town, creat
ing stenches in the nostrils of man
kind and microbes as large as house
(lies, which bring about malaria,
chills and fever. In the central
part of the city there are piles of
watermelon rinds, rotten cucumbers,
lecayed cabbage and other thingB,
hilo on the opposite Bide of the
rown there are dead chickens in
bags, staguant mudholeB, etc., all of
which go to create sickness. Along
Main street, between the square at
Felzir'a drtij: store and Mill street
a very unpleasant odor pervades the
atmosphere, and it is along thia
street that microbes roll wheelba.-
rows and pull goat wngons, making
the sensitive nerves of a good nose
quiyer and so offensive that resi
dents have to close their windows
at nights. From whence it cornea
no one seems to know but it exists
nevertheless. ,
Tbo'Ci'y could well afford to
nipioy a man to look af.er this
matter, lc has conn unattended
bng enough, and people have a just
reason for kicking. Place trash
and garbage in barrels on the streets
in the front of stores and compel
the storekeepers to put thir tra;h
jnd decayed stuff in Ibeni by !)
o'clock each morning and then
have the town cart brought out and
haul it away from the city or
bury it.
The recent heavy rains will ca ised
more than tue usual amount or
sickness, unless you take precau
ions. Use lime at the out hout-ep,
asg pens, where you tariuv
water and all da-r-p places, in a'.un

Ph ase allow me to call the atten
tion of the public to the fact that a
movement is on foot to erect a cot
ton mill at Concord to be operated
by colored lalor. The colored citi
zens of the United S'ates have had
no opportunity to utilize their tal
ent along this l;ne. Since iorth
Carolina has fairly and justly won
for herfelf, in the centennial at
Philadelphia, the World Fair at
Chicago and at the Atlanta Imposi
tion the honored name of fieing
"the foremcst of the States," she
will further eyidence ' the fact if
she is the first to have a cot'on mill
to be operated principally by the
colored people. We are proud of
the spirit una energy of the wiiite
people in encouraging aud assisting
the enterprise ; and will our colored
people not catch the spark of the
new industrial life and take adyan
tags of tbis unprecedented oppor
tunity to engage in an enterprise
'bet will prove to the world our
ability as optatives ia the mills,
thereby to'yicg the great problem,
"Cau the negroes be employed in
cotton mills to any advantage ?"
And now tnat tbe opportunity is
before us, experiment alone will
determine th" ipiestion, and it be-
hooyes ua to bestir ourselyea and do
something, and, as one man, make
tue effort tnat is to win for us a
name, and place us before tie world
:s liidiistriW.i nud enterprising cit
izens. Don't think for a moment
that this desirable and enviable
position can be attained by merely a
few of our people; but ou the
other band, it will require the
uuited efforts of the race. Then
when the people of the white race
who arc our friends, clearly see that
we are surely coming, they will
"come ovrjr ir. to Macedonia and help
us." Ta'e enterprise will be just
what we make it. There is nothing
to gain but everything to lose by
allowing the enterprise to prove a
failure. In the cade of a failure it
will be due to mere lieglect. If it
pi oyes a success it ill be to the
honor and glory of the race. If
racial weakness is set forth, it will
only stiei.thrn the s.ntiment til.
ready expressed atout us. We can
ice the linger of Providence direct
ing our ccurs", for we believe that
Clod helps only those who help
tbem'elve. If wo show no desire
to succeed iu this, and in al' the
on'fiprisi; d'slj !:! for tbe indus
trial and I'nancial devvlopimint of
the rae-e, then it can bo proven that
our liberty is a failure. We cannot
afford to be idle or Inkcwarm in
this matter. There is too much
connected with it that, would not
let our conscience reot if we did
not make the effort to carry out the
plan. Can there be any among us
who do not wish to see the moral,
intellectual, religious and industrial
character of onrpiople eleyated to
a higher and broader plane of civil
ir.itiou and true usefulness?
There is no middle ground. We
ure either going forward or back
ward. The watchword is onward
and upward, and if we ever expect
to attain the heights of industrial
usefulness we must fall in line and
march shoulder to shoulder in one
solid phalanx alemg the road that
leads to fortune and to fame. When
we graBp and ntih'ze the opportuni
ties offered for the betterment of our
condition we are performing the
great taBk vfhieh will at last deter
mine our future position in tie
ranks of the great nations of tb
world. The markets of Madagas
car, CiDzinar, anu oiner tropical
regions, where there are millions of
inhabitants, ure open for all goods
that can be produced in the mills
Let us not be discouraged but move
onward with the enterprise, with
that spirit and determination that
makes all thints possible for those
who strive in r : earnest.

Many of the sayings and doings of
the Southern negr that lind their
way into print may be apocryphal,
but enough are known to be true to
make good bis claim to humor. A
gentleman ditcussing ceon hunting
relates an Incident that ilhutrates
this characteristic drollery.
The party, consisting of hunters,
dogs, axes and torches galore, had
been hunting for a good part of tbe
night without any luck whatever.
Finally the dogs tieed a coon. It
would take some time to full so large
a tree, aud one of the negroes volun
teered to climb it and ascertain the
whereabout! of the coon.
All agreed to this and sat around
to await developments. Soon after
the negro had disappeared among
the branches a peculiar sound was
heard from the top of the tree. It
was a kind of mixture of negro and
coon dialect, home one ventured
tho remark:
' Bill, have you got thai coon;"'
"Yes, sah," was the reply. "I've
got dis coon, but I wish jou'l send
sjuie o' iletu durkits up here to help
me turu tiiui loose.'' I'ortct md
