All bad a place in the program, Th expres sion observed by tbe members is vrrv noticeable, adding much to tbe proof of tbeir skill. One of the performers in the band Is Jay Sims, of this place, who bat now acquired marked skill on tbe slide trombone, which instrument he began to master after leaving here last year. Be went in tbe army as chief bugler, was made principal musician, and then laid aside his cornit for the slide trombone. In a number of the selections in the con cert Wednesday night be showed what perseyeranoe, together with talent, can acqnire. This is, without questioc, the best concert that Concord has tal atd well can the soldiers, together with every Tar Heel, feel proud cf the First North Carolina Regimental Band. This band will make a tonrof the principal towns of the State and will then accept an offer at some place, wbere the organizition will be k pt np.

A negro mob lynched a negro man for the murder of a negro woman on the the 25th at Galenu, Kin. He hnd choked his mistre-s to death and when tbe coroner's jury found him guilty the negroes proceeded to the jail and, break ing it open, attempted to take hi in out and bun? him but he fought and they shot him dead.

At 8 o'clock 25 bodies had been re covered ond it is expected that tho Lumber will reach 50 or even GO. Wires are down and total darkness prevailed till fire broke out in the ruins that, while they probably cremated some, made it easier to hunt through tbe debris for the others.

It is learned from a round-about source that the snore was 32 to 2 in favor of the college team. This is ample explanation for the silence for the Charlotte boys." Wouldn't It Be Uood Cbanee. Quite a number of people, after attending the concert Wednesday night in tho newly erected stables of Mr. P M Morris, have ex pressed themselves as to what a fine auditorium this would mako. The building is wide and lone, and if f quipped with raised seats on the sides wold be amply large to seat tbe crowds here fcr almost any occasion, and still give room for a large stage. Probably this will ciuie tbe matter to be investigated more and the man agement will probably decide upon sueh a plan. Wouldn't it be nice ? I bey Dislike the Trenimeni. Dr. D P Whitley writes us from Baltimore that the children who were taken there from Mil I ingport lor treatment for hydro phobia are getting along very well, except that they dread the treatment, which is by hypoder mic injections. lie scores all political parties for not having a dog law before this, and thinks if a lot of the people who seem to care more for feeding curs and bounds than tor protooting child ren and raising sheep and pork could see the children and hoar their piti ul cries while taking tbe treatment thero would be fewer rabid dogs. The suspense and at$ony of the two families has been terrible, but it u earnestly hoped by all that the children's lives may be spared.

The Southern Express Co. sbipf! an average of 100 crates or 2 500 chickens daily or nearly a million yearly. At lo cents tbis would amount to 8150,000.

The government through Sec retary Long has reprimanded Capt. Cogblan for his indiscreet utterances. He claims that he has not been accurately reported and that he meant no disrespect to the German flag. Dr. Von.Hallen ben, the German diplomat, has called at the White House and in a friendly spirit has set the matter down as closed. The fol lowing is part of the cable mes sage by the New York World's correspondent : "Admiral Dewey is certain that Cogblan could not have said any thing calculated to place the ad mirai in a laise position, lie showed the World correspondent a letter from Admiral Von Died- richs, of the German navj , con- gratulating him on his deserved promotion,' and also his letter in reply, which closed with the words, 'all of our differences were of newspaper manufacture.' "Admiral Dewey also says he is on the most friendly terms with Prince Henry, of Prussia, who succeeded Von Diedrichs as com mander-in-chief of the German fleet in Chinese waters." Where Nnta Come From. Hickory nuts are an American product and we export them in large numbers to Europe, wbere they are found good eating. Pecans belong to tbe hiokory family. Coooanuts come from the East Iodies, the West Indies and the islands of the Pacific near the equator, Almonds are found in Asia, Bar bary and Morocco. Those we gtt are imported from Malaga. Walnuts grew originally in Per sia, the Caucasus, China, North America and Europe. Hazel nuts grow in Europs, Hub sia, Asia, North Africa and North America. Filberts are a spscies of hazel nuts that grow in Greece. Pistachio nuts come from Syria, and th 3 Greeks were very fond of them. Chestnuts form a portion ol the d.iily food of the Mediterranean natio js, though in America they are not ground into flour, but are eaten simply a nuts. Daily Record. More of (arr'l enerolljr.
