NnbjnKntion of lnanrarenla Impos
sible. The country now frtauds on
feverish suspeusc at the delay of
of the United States Senate.
This seems a necessary evil that
must be born with as it can't bej
helped.
Senator Davis wanted unani
mous consent to close debate at 5
o'clock Thursday. To this Sena
tor Daniels objected. One objec
tion breaks the unanimity and de
'eats such effort in tbe Senate. Mr.
Teller wanted to limit speeches to
fifteen minutes. To this Senator
Daniels also objected and of
course it foil to the ground.
Sprited and pathetic speeches
were made for prompt action
Also leanred and sage counsels
were offered, all of which it would
seem should move all auditors if
they did not conflict.
A novel sensation was produced
when an effort was made to con
tinue the session till a conclusion
should be- reached. The galleries
applauded noisily when Vice
President Hobart addressed the
galleries, ordering the applause to
cease. Senator Gray shouted.
"The chair himself is out of order.
He has no right to directly ad
dress the people of tbe galluries."
''Such a thing has never been be
'ore in the Senate," declared Sena
tor Bate, of Tennessee. Others
joined in humiliating the chair
or the blunder.
The Senate adjourned at G.15.
Some twenty Senators desire to
make speeches and if they are all
icard there is no telling when
ction will be reached. When a
vote is reached for the resolution
t may cause much delay before
setting a joint resolution by both
bouses.
The singular phase of the situa-
ion is that those most spirited in
their sentiment in favor of prompt
and vigorous action, involving
measures more rigid and explicit
than the president are the ones
now causing the delay of action.
They seem to prefer no action to
Mich as does not come up to their
ideas while many are willing to
have less than a completeness of
their ideas to stop human fiuiler-
ng on the ibland.
Dispatches show no signs of
weakening on the part of Spain.

A DESPERATE KEQKU
Excites Ibe Commnally Noiiievrhnt on
Wednesdny Evening In the Comnin
nily ol Hrnh-'urd's Mlll-fabt at Nev.
ernl Persons and Made Ills Escape.
So.uewta' of an excitement pre
vailed on Wednesday down about
Bruffjrd'i Mill by a negro breaking
into tbe dwelling of Mr. Tom Big
geri and floDriahiog piltol at
1 rg".
Tbe first tbiojj was the breaking
in tbe house of Mr. Tom Bigger by
knocking tbe door open itb an
a xo. He stole some pies and cag
tards and 'then went to Mr. Eeece
Johnson's and sat do n eomewhere
near the house and went to eating.
When Mr. Jobnion n en red him tbe
nrgro pulled oat pistol and fired
ODce on Mr. Johnson.
The negro was then followed, and
Mr. Will Brafford succeeded in get
ting close to him and made the
negro throw np his bands. Tbe ce-
gro obeyed orders at tbe point of
Mr. Bn fford's pistol but in one of
his hands tbat was thrown up he
held his pistol. The negro kept
coine backward, and after Mr.
Brafford realized that he would
better stop the negro, be called on
him to atop backing, which the thiet
refused to da Then Mr. Brofford
pulled down on bim witl bis putol,
but unfortunately it would not go
off.
Then tbe trouble commenced sure
enough. Tbe negro got behind
tree and comm.' need to fire on Mr.
Bradford while Mr. Brafford was
standing there snapping at the ne
gro. Tbe negro was either a bad
marks man or was not shooting to
kill, as be did not hit Mr. Brufford
either tinop.
Tbe negro next took to his heels
and was pursued by quite a number
of people of tbe commuLity there
bout. While making hn escape
the thief again shot at a negro boy
wbox he happened to pass, of
cou se scaring tbe boy terribly.
He was chased into a large s'rip
of woods in the neighborhood of Mr
Uendemon LiUker and was seen no
more. Where he w a last seen three
empty 38 calibre pistol cartridges
were found that bad just been emp
tied from a pii'ol.
Jailer Hill and Deputy Propat
were sent for bat too late to offer
any assistance i.e he was already
lost when they arrived Nothing
more bas be. n seen or beard from
him.
Tbe negro is of medium siie and
bad a small grip which he carried
wi'b a atrap thrown over his eboul

STOCKHOLDERS MEETING;
Held In C oncord Wednesday for Or
ganisation-Officers Elected.
The stockholders for tbe new cot
ton mill to be erected at Norwood
met in the private office of Mr. D
B Coltrane on Wednesday. Officers
were at once elected which resulted
as follows: - President, D B Col
trane; Secretary and Treasurer, Dr.
J A Tyson.
The capital stock of the company
is 850,000 with the privilege of in
creasing it to 8200,000.
As was stated before, several
prominent men of Monroe were
here on that day having private
talks with the different etockholdere
trying to get tbem to build their
mill at Monroe instead of at Nor
wood, but the matter was not con
sidered in the meeting at all.
Committees on Building and
Equipments were appointed.
Unlike quite a number of mill
companies, no great expense is put
on. this company for a suitable site,
as they have some of the most val
uable property iu tbe town, and for
the entire tract of land, which con
ais's of one hundred acres, they only
paid one thousand dollars, and their
building will be near a splendid
water supply.
A Compliment to liieni.
Major Keesler bas received a let
ter from Col. J F Armfield compli
menting tbe prompt action of tbe
members in making out a new
enlistment. Tbe papers were here
only a little over a day before they
were returned duly Bigned.

receiving tbe diapa'cb, the Honse
committee made its report and
adopted it by tbe time The Stand
abd went to press. The Senate ret
port went over today (Thursda))
The following ia the text of tbe
report In the Senate:
"Whereas, Tbe abhorrent condi
tions which bave existed for more
than three y.ara in tbe island of
Cuba, ao near our borders, have
shocked the moral sense of tbe peo
ple of tbe United 8Utea, have been
a disgrace to 'Christian civilization,

destruction of a battleship, with
2G6 of its officers and crew while on

President of tbe United States in his
message to Congrt a on April 1 1th,
1898, upon which tbe sotion of
Congress was invited : tbeiefore,
lteiohed, first, Tbat the people of
tbe island of Cuba are, and of right
ought to be, free and independent.
Second, That it ia the duty of
the United States to demand, and
the government does hereby demand,
that tbe goyernmunt of Spain at

and Cuban waters.
Third, Tbat tbe President of the

directed and empowered to use the
entire naval and land forces of the
United States and to call into the
actual eervice of the United Stitea
the militia of tbe several States, to
sucb extent as may be necessary to
carry these resolutions into effect."
Aa is well known no vote can be
taken in the United States Senate
while discussion ia desired.
Tbe house however gaye itself but
iO minotea for debate which waa
too short for all tbe discussion and
an encounter. Mr. Brumm, Repub
lican, of Pennsylvania, gave the liej

book a', him and tbey went toward

while one Mr. Halatead fell from a
blow on the jw. When quiet ai
restored it was found to be a mist
understanding and it was smoothed
over. After defeating tbe minority
report tbe majority report waa adop
ted by a vote of 322 to 19. The
latter included 15 Democrats, 3
Republic ina and 1 Populist. The
text i s Mlowa:
"Whereas, Tba government of

Cbirk's International Stars gave
a very creditable popular price show
in tbe Opera House last night. It
was interesting and amusing. Mrs.
Chick, who has a fine stage appear
ance, did some clever acting and her
song on a "hot time in Cuba"
brought down the house. An in er
eeting feature was the Cineomato
graphe. Some ot tbe pictures
thrown on the canvass were beauti
ful in color and pathetic in effect,
especially the "Baggage coach
ahead," which was accompanied by
a descriptive song, very touching.
Tbe serpentine skirt dance was the
most modest we ever saw, and the
different lights and figures thrown
upon tbe dancer produced a beauti
ful effect. Tbe picture of the
American flag, the eagle, and V J
Bryan produced storms of applause.
Tbe picture of McKinley was hissed
to some extent. Tbe moving figure?
thrown on the canvass werealsc
interesting and amusing. Tbe com

EU B8CRIBER "e P LI E S
To Mr. Flsbers article on ssormou
aara not Long, Owing to the Fact
Tbat II e Is Confronted W illi Llders.
As it seems tbat The Standard
leaves the latch-string on tbe out
side, '-Subsciiber" comes again. We
appreciate The Standard's opin
ion of us. Mr. Fisher's expression,
''your society or creed," sounds quite
amusing to us. In our questions
we did not consider it neceseary to
betray the fact that we are unalter
ably opposed to Mormomam. If,
however, our alluding to tie Moi
niona aa a ''religions society'' is i
conclusive evidence tha'- we are a
Mormon, then, to reason along the
same channel, Mr. Fisher mast be
a Mormon also; lor ne speans oi
Mormoniam aa a ''church." Thie,
we think, ia a more complimentary
term than "religious eociety," if we
adhere atrictly to the general ac
ceptance of words. If we respect
the authority of Webster (see Web
ster a Unabridged uictionarj; we
may call Mormonism either a 're
ligion" or a "religious Eociety," with
out either dmgerously stretching
tbe imagination or paying any com.
pliments to "your society or creed.'"
For distinction we say, "falte or fa
natic religion," "true religion," etc.
Now, if we mast give The Stand
ard a little "schooling," we would
again refer to Webster for the
meaning ot ''persecution." Accept
this definition, and the course rec
ommended by Mr. Fisher, if exe
cuted, would neceesar'ly be called
persecution. We bad adrp'ed the
theory tbat our government is
founded on tbe principle tbat nil
men are created equal (in tbe sight
of just law) and endowed witb cr
tain inalienable rights such as life,
liberty, and the pursuits of happi
ness. Now, when it was p-remp
lorily asserted that oar government
is built on Bnstou Tea Party prin
oiplts, and in accordance therewith
a violent course of action was pre
scribed, we thought tbat by plying
a few questi ns it would all hi made
clear to us. We honed that, by his
torical reference, precedents would
be adduced to demonstrate tbe ef
fectiveness of persecution as a me
dium for controlling or eliminating
a "religious society." Instead of
this, however, we Cod evasive re
plies introducing qtiestiona of tbe
signification of words. We bae no
time no to consider the qnestior
of persecutor, but will probably do
so in a future issue of The Stand
ard, if the latch s ring be left on
tbe outside. In view of the fact
tbat ws arenow confronted with the
presence of elders, tbe teond cpistlr
of Jubn is in'eiesting and instruc-
ive reading, especial'y verses 10 and
11.

Held of drought and famine for lit
ersry ambition. The literan genius
meets jealousy, prejudice and in
difference in the South. He quo'ed
William Gilmore Sims as saving
that he had thrown away hia efforts

E nerjou and others were wafte-d ou
a very liteiary breiz- but in the
South the poet and tbe eongbter have
not been held in high esteem
Charleston before the war was tbe
chief centre of literary culture and
11 was inadequate. Much of tbe
ta'ent of the boutb chose law and
politics and were not ou ranked.
The fpeaker yields to none in bis
pride in the South with all her en
terprises and her pursuits anda.ee
in tbe urowth of literary clubs tbe
building of a seotimen!. f r litera
ture and tbo rounding up of lJeal
character with its due appreciation
of ihe beautiful in art.
He then took up the life, the la
bors and the artistic grandeur of
his ber?, Sidney Lsnier. He pos
sensed a genius for music aud poetry
rarely surpaed. He seemed born
f jr tbe il ote, which he played with
masterly skill from mere childhood
without lessons or aid In college
be gave bis late hours to bis flute
and to the poets, rt hen he went
into the Confederate service he kep
bis fljte us a companion and even in
prison he dH not part from it. Just
here the sr.eaker told the romantic
story of Lanier in tbe hold of a ship
among a dense crowd of bis fello
prisoners. He was sick, even un
conscious, eppiretitly in the ppaa
modio thrors of deatb, when a little
girl friend of former days, who was
wont to call herself his sister, found
bim aud poured brandy into his lips
and revived bim. He was curie
up to the cabin and aa soon us fairly
lucid he called for h s flue. The
tones were the assuring me.sige to
his comrades below that Siduey
lived and a shout ran through ihe
sbip.
The speaker drew tUe lines tbat
distinguish his poetry above that of
EJgar Allen Poe and even Milton
ind Browning
He unlocked the secret of Ltnier'e
genius with quotations sh owing that
po.-try arid music were but tbe me.
tu of Lis grasping tbe infinite.
This champion of artistic beaut)
said "Moral virtue, moral beauty
must attend artistic beauty," ''The
artists market is tbe heart of man,
the artist's price is some little goo I.'
' Art is the gre.ttt st way of tp ak
ing tru h in the world." .
When neaiing the end ol life h
