The horrors of the Texas floods along the Brazos river grow as more of the details come in. 1 he vallev for the distance of 500 miles with an average of five miles in width was submerged, In places it was over the tele graph poles and the tops of houses. Thirteen bodies have been recovered but it is feared that the death list will run up in to hundreds. Where a few days before there was fine crop prospects and a beautiful valley of fair prosperi ty there is a grewsome spectacle of mud and slime on tlie car casses of every kind of domestic animal with 0& mixture ot hu inanity. There are many cut off on higli places and great suffering must ensue before they can bo rescued, The Excursion to Ashevllle. At an early hour last Thurs day about forty people were at the depot to go on the excursion given hy Dr. Henderson Miller for the benefit of Mont Anioena Seminary. At last the train pulled up to the station and friends bade friends a pleasant adiou and the excursionists were off for the land of the sky to en joy the exhilirating mountain breezes and to partake of water which knows no equal. Seats were suitable arrranged for the different parties and Signor Ritz had neatly furnished his refresh ment car and was preparing to serve lemonade, parched goob ers, peanuts and piuders. It was a lovely trip and every one enjoyed the beautiful scenery as they passed different points of interest. They almost reached Buffalo mills but they would not be put olf there so were brought back to the station and their excursion was o er, as Kev. Mil lfr was compelled to announce to them that the excursion proved a lailure and if he were to run it ho would lose still more It is unfortunate that Mr. Mil ler failed to secure the necessary number thereby losing $ lot) be ides sacrificing his efforts to wards its success. Had ho gone on with the train though he would have lost not less than L'50. By telephone and tele graph he obtained the actual number of tickets, knowing exactly how much he would lose It was necessary for Mr. Miller to pay the railroad company nearly fcll'O even when he did not run the excursion besides his other expenses, such as advertising, etc. He Parts With One of His Dogs. There is not a man in all the towns around who thinks more of dog sense than Mr. Will King ham, and he takes a pride in teaching this family. Nothing scarcely would make him part with Kex, his setter, but on Thursday he sold his tine white one, Bang, to Mr. Milton Brown, of Salisbury. The dog had be come quite bad to bark at pass ers-by, and Mr. Bingham feared a dog funeral, hence sold him to Mr. Brown. Mr. Bingham m forms us that the consideration was 100. Out at the Chain (Jung.

Our people for somo reason are not laying as much stress on any game this season as when we go against tho Mountain Is land boys, but we missed a great treat in ball when we did not see the game in Charlotte Thursday, the tith, between our team and tho Kings Mountain boys. Not a better game on the part of our boys has or will be seen this season, as their playing was de void of errors. When a team plays nine innings and fails to have a single error against any member of the team then we know that they are playing a game for which they should receive commendation. Tho Charlotte Observer speaks of the game thusly: "The game between Kings Mountain and Concord Thursday was disappointing. Tho Moun taineers were not in it with the Invincibles of Cabarrus. They went down in a Waterloo defeat, the score being 9 to 0 iu favor of Concord. "Mountain Island has Parker and Concord has Weddington She had him Thursday, as King's Mountain learned to her sorrow. It was said Wednesday that Weddington had lost his arm, but ho found it, or a good imitation of it, Thursday, and put 'em over the plato with his old-time speed. - The boys from down the Air Line could not manage him. The team, how ever, didn't allow him to play the game alone: they backed him up in great shape, hence the whitewash. Caldwell at second played practically well. ' "The Mountain boys fielded well, but were weak in tho box. Ragun was knocked out iu the fifth, and Stewart was substi tuted. The game opened up well Neither team scored until the third, and the spectators thought there was a treat 111 store lor t hem, but their expectations were not ro.rlized.

The Kind's Mountain Team Found Lack lajr In the Seeond (iaine An Well An the Flint Tlicy Lost In a Score vf 5 to 1. It was feared by somo that our team would fall when it facod the Kings Mountain boys but there was no foundation for the belief, judging from tho games of 1 iiuisday and Friday. By the aid of Chariotlo play ers the Mountain boys tried hard to win in tho game Friday nut went down without scoring but one run, which was barely made by an error and a two bagger. Oldham, Wade, pitched on our team and LeGrande caught. The opponents' battery was Stewart and Scott. Our boys scored one run 111 the first inning, two in the fourth and two in the eighth. One Vletory from the (heraw Hoys, The first game with the Cheraw boys resulted in our defeat but on Wednesday the compliment was returned. No doubt the Cheraw boys ' treated our team most sumptuously as a compen sation for the nico time we gave them when they were here. The Charlotte Observer gives the following full account of the game as follows: "The game Wednesday was won by Concord by a scoro of i) to 4. Tho double umpire system was used, which was moro satis factory to both clubs than tho single umpire, as Concord at tributes her defeat of Tuesday to the umpire. Both teams played snappy ball. The foul fly caught by Mangum, Concord's crack third baseman, after running against the fence, was the feature of the game. Wade Oldham pitched for Concord, and did it well. Cheraw got eight hits off him. John Donnelly, of Charlotte,! played loft field for Concord. LeGrande, Concord's catcher, brought tho grand stand to its feet several times by his sensa tional catches of foul flies. Hall, Shaw and Bennette, of the Union, S. C, team, played with Cheraw and played good ball. Hall and Shaw composed the battery.and Bennett played first. Concord only made two errors in tho entire game.

Soin Person Rashly Seuks of the VII Inire of Brief A Rough Joke on IU Inhahllants. Brief, July 5. Lay-by time draws on apace, and "melon colic" days stare us in the face. Several teachers in this neigh borhood attended the Mecklen burg county Teachers' Institute, held in Charlotte last week. Messrs. Murray and Hoyle Long, who have been visiting here and attending the Institute in Charlotte, have returned to Mt. Pleasant. A few days ago a gulley-wash-ing rain fell in this region. It was accompanied by a wind strong enough to domolish an old shop house in the central part of the village. On Saturday afternoon a fish ing party, armed With anglers' tackle and Cupid's darts, visited tho verdant banks of Rocky river. It was a glorious time to loiter in umbrageous recesses with "yer best gal," and bo bit ten repeatedly by your host mos quito while doing your best at angling. At Mr. Johnson Miller's, in Mecklenburg, the Fourth of July is celebrated bv a popular picnic, We have not yet heard whether this season witnessed a picnic at an "old mill place down on Clear creek," whore a bachelor s ron dezvous exists in un'terriflod de fiance of hoop-skirts, bustles. corsets, false bangs, big sleeves and other feminine attractions which make an easy prey of the uxorious. A wag who is very fond of a joke informs us that one family in our village is so large that some of its members have to stand out doors and reach in for food when dining. However, we maintain that thero is a point at which hatching out jokes ceases to be a virtue. Moreover, we do not, as yet, propose to help re duce our modest village to the cold columns of burlesque. uur unpretentious village is quietly, yet firmly and substan tially situated on tho unwrinkled brow of a southern hill, looking down with an irresistably be witching smile on the placid waters of Clear creek. There are those who, in a moment - of thoughtless hilarity, have as sorted that our town ought to be greased with a meat skin arid let slide into the creek. Others sug gest that it would be better to smear soap grease over it aud lot the dogs lick it up. But these are mere platitudes emanating from nonsensical minds. We boldly look over that, notwith standing what may be said. Our village will at least compare fav orably with any other just like it. So those who desire to caricature our minature town must apply to others than ourself. Augustine. The Government Department Finished With the exception of some painting the work of remodelling the town hall has been finished and now one when attending a trial before the mayor will have a comfortable seat and will not bo in such a push as heretofore. As you enter tho main door of the building where once intoxi cating drinks were served, you find on your right the quarters of Chief of Police Harris, on the left Mayor Means' private office, and directly in front of you you will find the mayor s court room, Jim-crow-like, the colored poo pie will bo situated on the left and the white people on the right. Comfortable seats have been provided for at least sixty people besides standing room After tho form of a regular court room, balistrados are erected in which to seat the mem bers of the bar, prisoners, wit nesses, etc. It is nicely arranged and does not mean so much cost to our town, at the same time making it much more convenient for our officers, and it looks much better for our town to have such quar ters to try our lawbreakers. The Indexing Work Finished. As heretotore stated it was enacted by the last Legislature that tho clerk ot tho court of each county index - tho wills recorded in his oflU'o. Clerk Cook, assisted by Mr. James Ervin, has boon indexing the wills in his office and has fin ished. Wills have been rocordod in this county since about 1820, and up to this time there were 5H5 to bo indexed. This shows an average of only about seven wills per year. It can be readily seen that only a small number of of our people make wills though the number per year is more now than when wills were first recorded. Looking Towards Improvement. Mr. T. J. Brown, who is con ducting a barber shop next door to Mr. M. J. Corl's livery sta bles, is each month making im provements in his parlor. A complete job of papering has just been finishod and soon an elec tric fan will be placed in the room.

There will be recruiting sta tions in each State and the regi ments, which will number from 26 to 35 inclusive, will be rendez voued as follows : Twenty-sixth at Plattsburg barraks, New York; Twenty seventh, at Camp Meade, Penn sylvania; Twenty-eighth, at Camp Moade, Pennsylvania; Twenty ninth, at Fort McPherson, Ga. ; Thirtieth, at Fort Sheridan, 111.; Thirty-first, at Fort Thomas, Ky.; Thirty-second, at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. ; Thirty-third, at Fort Sam Houston, Texas; Thirty-fourth, at Fort Logan, Col.; Thirty-fifth, at Vancouver barracks, Washington.

Wheeler has at last been assigned to duty and is ordered to report to Gen. Otis at Manila He will pack and be off at once. He is reported as much pleased with the order. He said: "I believe now that the rebel lion is on, that it should be stamped out. The sooner it is done the bettor it will be for the Filipinos, as well as for the United States. Every loyal Amorican should support the ad ministration in its effort to termi nate the strife and to set up good government in tho Philip pines. I am glad to be able to lend my aid to the government at this time, when it is in need of support. I shall place myself at the disposal of General Utis, and endeavor to do my duty as a sol dier." The y Sotlcedthe Difference. Without saying one word in our columns to that effect, Tha Standard camo out Thursday with an entirely new body typo. We thought it best to lot the ac tions come before the words, and would wait results. The result was that numbers of our readers noticed it and complimented it very highly. Yes, after most diligent endeavors, our office has been equippod with four hundred pounds of new long primor type and we will now expect a much cleaner-looking sheet still. Now one thing more. We are doing our part and let our people continue their inter est in our daily paper and we will continue to try to make its columns still more newsy.

The Legislature appropriated $5,000 for a monument to be erected on the Capitol square in Raleigh to the memory of Zebu Ion B. Vance. The Vance Memorial Association has added $2,000 to the fund. Ten models by nine sculptors were presented to the committee last Thursday and it made a selection of the one presented by H. J. Ellieott, of Washington. Tho Raleigh News and Observor says: "The statue is to be of United States standard bronze, oight feet six inches high. The pedestal will be of North Caro - lina granite, seven feet six inches high. This Great Commoner is represented as standing with his left hand on a pedestal, on which is draped a North Carolina flag. His right hand, half ex tended, is in its characteristic attitudewhon speaking. Between the thumb and his first finger is hold. a pair of glasses, as was his habit: "Tho pose of tho body is erect, but restful, standing with his feet well under him. He is dressed in a Prince Albert coat, close buttoned. This is tho gar ment he always wore in his later years. He wears a high collar with fallen ends and a broad flat tio. "The whole effect of the statue is remarkably life-like and characteristic of this great man in tho last years of his life. Mrs. Vance saw tho model before it was sent here and pronounced tho poso and the likeness perfect. "Though the details as to the pedestal have not yet been de termined upon, it will bo of North Carolina pink granite, probably from the Iredell mines. On four sides of it, in bold re lief, will bo a torch and a wreath bound together by a broad Ro man band. One those bands it is proposed to put the words: "Vance," "Citizen," "Soldier," "Statesman." One word on each band. "The monument is to bo com pleted, erected in the square and ready for unveiling by May 1st, 1900. It will cost $7,000, and is to be situated between the cap ital and the east entrance to the square, about two-thirds of the distance from the building. "Though the monument will not be unveiled until next May it will be completed and ready to be iiut up by New Year's. The artist, Mr. Ellieott, says he can deliver it within six months."

I tued it and ono-half of a 50-cent bottle cured me entirely. I now recommend it to all my friends. A .Hancock, Lne, l a. It ie for sale by M L Marsh & Co., druggist. Automobile Safer Than the Horse. Judge Robbins, of Chicago, in rendering a verdict annulling an ordinance prohibiting the automobile said: "It is a matter of common knowledge that there is less danger in the automobile than there is in a horse and bug- y." The tiling doesn't shy at every wheelbarrow, baby buggy and kite at least. .Mrs. Wutkiiis' Club Iiiliei'Muuee. "I don't see'" said Mr. Mul berry, "why you women have that Mrs. Watkins in your literary club. The rest of you are bright enough, but she's as dull as dull can bo!" "It's this way," answered Mrs. Mulberry, "Mrs. Watkins' great-grand-mother's half sister's second cousin could trace her descent from Chaucer. So, you see, after all, with such literary claims wo couldn't very well keep Mrs. Watkins out." Har per's Bazar. A Sharp Hoy. Tho venerable R. L. Dubney D. D., is well known in this country and abroad. Upward of twenty years ago his youngest son, Lewis, was a sharp-witted lad, who promised to become a respected "chip of the old block." QTho lad was whipped one day for an act of disobedience and then had to undergo the more trying ordeal of sitting quietly on the sofa. He became deeply absorbed in thought and finally asked : "Ma, why did you whip lne?" "So as to make you a better boy," she responded. Lewis again became lost in thoughtful rolled ion. Presently ho blurted out: "Ma, do you believe in prayer V" "Yes, my son." "If you were to ask God to make me a better boy, do you think he would grant your prayer!"' "I think he would, son." "Well, then, ma, I wish you would pray more ' and whip a little less." Ex. Winston For President. Tho trustees of the Agricul tural and Mechanical college have chosen Prof. George T. Winston as president of tho col lege. The board has resolved to admit female students also. Thero will bo a textile depart ment taught next session.
