the propriety and the utility of tak

with prayer. "How Firm a Funda

Facts Found hj a Military sledleal
ComtnlsMlon Cause or the Disease In
CaiuiN.
Common house flies, according to
a report f f the medical com mission
appointed to investigate the cause
of so much typhoid fovor at various
camps, introduced the deadly
germs. The commission visited tbe
camps at Jacksonville, Hucteville,
Femacdins. end (Jhickamanga.
Everywhere it found typhoid fever
and found it spreading. It also
found flies were in every camp by
millions. They declare tbey found
flies fed off of fecal matter from hos
pitals and then at meal time shared
the food of soldiers. In the first in
stance the fly picked up, on his six
hairy legs infinitesimal particles
containing germs of typhoid, end
as he walked over the hardtack and
other food he deposited them there.
Large numbers of flies ciurj
enough germs in this way to inocu
late large numbers of soldiers. The
commission presents the case ex
haustively in proof of this remark
able explanation, and declares most
positively that the proof is over
whelming in support of their diag
nosis. Recommendations for disin
fecting sinks and killing germs so
flies cannot carry them are made,
and it is declared that with the
danger removed, well selected camps
cannot be anything but healthful,

Ur. Oayltl Hannan Takes F.seettlonN
lo a Little Johe Tbat Appeared In
Ihe Standard Assaults Wade Bur.
rler On the Nlreet flie Laiter nets
n Illow On the nliouliler Hannan
KeslNls Arrest.
On last Thursday the following
paragraph appeared in The Stand
ard, which was written by the res
porter aa a mere joke over which it
was intended the persons named
might have a laugh:
"On October 11th there will be a
convention of horse "swappers" at
Gainesville, Oa. We see that Rowan
county has already elected their
delegate to this convention and it is
hoped that Cabarrus will also send
one. It is very probable that Presi
dent Jesse Garmon and Secretary
Dave Uanna'n will call a convention
soon to elect a delegate."
Todsy as the local reporter, Wade
Barrier, neared the court bouse gate,
Mr. Hannan, after only a few words,
hauled back with a large stick and
landed a blow upon t ie shoulder of
the young man . Sheriff Buchanan
soon interfered, but could not quiet
tbe man. Mr, Oeo, Goodman, after
being summoned by the sheriff, laid
bands on Mr. Hannan also, and
soon Chief of Police Boger was on
hand. The case was at oner tried
before Eiq Pitts, which warrant ins
dieted Mr. Hannan for an assault
with a deadly weapon. After taking
tbe testimony, Mr. Hannan was
found guilty and bound on a fifty
dollar bond for his appearance at
next conr1-.
This was an unfortunate affair,
and the writer, who is the party as
sailed, deeply regrets the happening,
but, as before stated, it was nothing
more than a mere pleasantry. The
Standard, under its present man
agement, has never been known to
hurt anyone's feeling intentionally
by such jokea, and if Mr, Hannan
had como to The Standard office
and exprosod himself as not enjoy
ing the joke, he would have received
respectful attention and due apolo
gy, but, instead, he unthoughtedly
acted as he did. Mr. Hannan has
openly made his threats of ven
geance since his bond has been se
cured. Mr. Garmon, who was the ctber
party named in tbe joke, took it
good-naturedly and intendod to re
turn the joke in some way. He also
tried to persuade Mr. Hannan to
take it as a joke.
THE SECOND AFFRAY.

Mr. Will Misenhoimer and Mr. Ed

Mont Amn'na for several years :
"That love which laughs at
locksmiths and says "ta ta" to ob
jecting parents, got in some work
here last Huuday and two more
souls were made happy and two
more hearts were made to beat as
one.
On last Sunday morning Miss
Roxie Fullenwider, a charming
young la ly of this place, left her
home ostensibly forSnnday school,
but she failed to appear in her
class and tell about the captivity
of the Jew6, for her heart had
been captured by Mr. Lex Davis,
a popular salesman in the Cotton
Mills store, and he was waiting
on the streets for Miss Fullen
wider, with a marriage license in
his pocket. As soon as they met
Mr. Dayis and Miss Fullenwider
went to the residence of J G Cov

the inseparable bonds of matri

Alas I my new umbrella I misa
it with a sieh; the day I rashly
bought it a friend was standing by.
Next day it rained he borrowed it,
to be returned that night; but since
that fatal moment it hasn' blessed
my sight. He lent it to a neighbor's
wife, and to increase my woe, she
lent it to the minister, and it's still
upon the go. He lent it to a stu
dent, who lent it to a friend, and
still it's going, going, gone; I won
der where 'twill end? But through
the cloud of borrowers, one ray of
light I eee; perhaps I may be lucky
and it will be lent to me. Chicago
