Between 50 and 75 members of
the Associaton arrived Tues

probably be well in excess of
one hundred. Quite a number
of editors are aceompaniod by
ladies.
The incoming trains were met
by members of tho Chamber of
Commerce Committeo and repre

J. B. Sherrill, Secretary of the
Press Association, also met the
afternoon trains and shared tho
pleasure of receiving the news

badges and advising them as to
arrangements for their transpor

of the reception and entertain

The gates of Wilmington and
her two superb summer resorts
are thrown wide open to the
visiting editors. As previously
announced their badges are
recognized for free transpor

cars, on the steamer Wilmington
and for tho privileges of Sedgely

A Kemitrknblc (Jeyscr In Southern
California.
The people of Southern Cali
fornia have recently been
favored with one of the most
extraordinary exhibitions of
natural phenomenon on record
one which has even astonished
beyond measurement all classes
of a community raimliar already
with instances of what nature
can accomplish when it sets out
to do something out ol tho com
mon.
Southern Californians are used
to shocks of earthquakes, incipi
ent volcanoes, or threatening
tidal waves, that it takes some
thing extremely eruptive to dis
turb their ordinary composure,
but the successful effort of a
rural rancher in his search for
water with which to irrigate his
fields, parched with a Ion,
drought, has turned Ihe gaze of
the whole State toward the little
town of Whittier, a hamlet
locatod in tho neighborhood of
Los Angeles.
Some weeks ago a farmer
named My res, living at Santa Fe
Springs began sinking at artesian
well. Others in the neighbor
hood had successfully tapped a
subterranean How of depths of
from 300 to 400 feet and Air.
Myres hoped for a successful
issue to his enterprise. By slow
stages the drills decended until
a depth of 500 feet was attained.
This was on Sunday, May 14. A
drill 200 pounds in weight was
employed, aud the prospect of
tapping a good How of water was
bocoming more and more en
couraging. A 10-iuch pipe had
been sunk some distance and the
usual preparations made for con -troling
tho How when it did make
its appearance.
The heavy drill was working
with its usual monotonous
regularity when, after one deep
plunge, a loud roaring sound
was heard coming from the
well, accompanied by jets of
muddy water and the out hurt of
heavy stones. Soon alter, the
drill itself made its appearance,
followed by a grand column of
water which forced itself higher
and higher until the top reached
an elevation of 500 feet. The
How was accompanied by vast
quantities of gas smelling of
sulphur strongly and igniting
when fire was applied, burning
with a strong blue flame. Oil in
considerable quantities was
mixed with tho flow. The stone
were thrown to an equal height
with ttho water, and the exhibi
tion of tremendous force was
appalling to the last degree No
geyser of the Yellowstone ever
displayed such activity. The
column of muddy water was
like a great pillar extending al
most to tho clounds, and falling
back to tho earth again in grace
ful festoons. The force exerted
was equal to a thousand power
ful engines. For two weeks this
phenomenon has been active,
though some diminution of the
force exerted is beginning to Vie
apparent. The flow of water is
enormous, and the country be
ing flat some difficulty is appre
hended in its control. ScientiHc

Xew Volunteer Regiments Will lie Com
nosed of White Men.
Washington; July 12. In
spite of the urgent irequests of
many colored men of this
country that at least one or two
of the ten new volunteer regi
ments for tho Philippines be
made up of colored men, it is
certain that all regiments will
consist solely of white men. Tho
War department was not favor
ably impressed with tho colored
volunteer regiments raised last
summer. There is no disposi
tion to underrate the worth of
the colored regulars. The
superb valor of the Tenth
Cavalry, the "Black Rough
Riders, " is acknowledged, and
good work i expected from the
men of the Twenty-fourth and of
the Twenty-fifth, infantry, which
have been lately ordered to
Manila. But it is claimed that
the colored volunteer is not
amenable to the same discipline
as the colored regular. The
colored volunteer regiments,
both immunes and State regi
ments, gave the War Depart
ment no end of trouble, and a
great sigh of rel ief was breathed
when the li st colored volunteer
soldier safely arrived home

Dr. D. 1). Johnson has a plan
different from most of the peo
ple for encouraging his children
to bo studious iu their school
work and one which has in his
case proved of some benefit, so
much so that he has increased
the value of his prizes for the
next year. To his four children
in the graded school last year,
he offered a five dollar gold piece
to the one who made the highest
average grade, to the next two
and oue-half dollars and tho last
one a fifty-cent Columbian piece.
The first one was gained by Lee,
the next by Frank, the next by
Adele, and the last by Cary. Al
ready he has put away oH to be
given to his five children next
year, the proportions being $20.,
10., 5., $2.50, and the fifty-cent
Columbian coin. The children
have already been told what is
in store for them next year.
A Compliment to Our State.
Speaking of summer resorts,
The Washington Post says;
"To one who has seen the
mountain region of North Caro
lina it seems incredible that so
many thousands of people, in
quest of pure air, magnificent
scenery, and healthful surround
ings, should annually flock to the
Adirondacks of New York, and
the White Mountains of Now
Hampshire. These latter resorts
Jo not compare in any respect
with the North Carolina country.
rlieir so-called mountains are
dwarfed by those , of the Old
North State, while, as for lakes,
trout streams, hunting grounds,
and landscapes at once gracious
and majestic, there is no ap
proach to a comparison."

On tho 14th day of July, 1H39,

A I'l Itl.lC LIBRARY.
The .'.dvaiifiures To He Derived from
One-Concord Should Have One lis
Ailruiilairctt Manifold.
We li ve in three worlds at once,
or rather we exercise a threefold
existence in one world. We have
a physical being, an intellectual
being and a moral being. Food,
clothing, air, exercise, are necos
sary to our physical being. The
church, the Sunday school, the
Bible contribute to our moral be
ing. Our intellectual being is apt to
be neglected. Tho mind, in or
der to be vigorous and healthy,
demand food and experience as
well as does tho body.
Concord ought to have $ gotxl
public library. There is no one
thing that can bo made to add so
much to the morals aud intelli
gence of a community as can
good books. Every town should
have a public library. It should
be centrally located and be ac
cessible every day and evening
six days in the week.
In this library should be found
the best standard literature,
books of reference, and the lead
ing magazines
But few people can afford to
buy cyclopedias nor to subscribe
for all the magazines, but in the
public library everybody could
have access to them and at very
small expense to any one.
In connection with this library
should be a public reading room.
Churches and schools are good.
Lectures and newspapers are
good. But you can go to the
public library and get informa
tion for yourself and thus be
twice blessed. Tho man who
starts a new factory in the city
and thus furnishes employment
to many hands and support to
many families is a benefactor
and is deserving of tho honor
and respect of all. But wo can't
afford to let our material inter
ests outrun our literary and re
ligious institutions. Intelligence
is oi more importance man nne
streets, tine buildings and elec -
trie lights. Without intelligence
factories cannot stand and
churches have but little effect.
A good public library, if prop
erly managed, is of moro value
to a city or community than an
additional church or school. It
can bo made to reach and to
benefit all classes. Young peo
ple are especially benefitted by
it. They get new ideas, new
life, new inspiration from the
books they read.
Benjamin Franklin, Andrew
Carnegie and Chaunce-y M. De
pew all got their early inspira
tion and aspiration from a public
library. Horace Mann did like
wise, and ho afterwards said
that if he was able he would sow
libraries over the land as the
tanner sows his wheat.
It is about as much of a dis
grace for a town to be without
a library as to be without a
school. What is it that gives
visitors a good impression of a
town V
Clean streets, well painted
houses and nicely kept lawns are
all right and proper, but the
thoughtful person looks for the
public library, substantial school
buildings, neat churches and a
good town hall.
The human mind is so con
structed that it will think. You
can't catch yourself for a moment
not thinking. Tho library is de
signed to give it something to
think about. The shelves of the
library furnish food for tho mind
just as the shelves of tho pantry
lurnish food tor tho body.
The reading habit gives a
greater amouut of pleasure at
small expense than parties, din
ners, receptions, theatres or any
other like thing that has ever
been devised.
Good books elevate the mind,
they create a contempt for gos
sip, tnev iurnisn nign ideas oi
life, they destroy prejudice, they
inspire the young, they are a
comfort to the old and a blessing
to all.
The public library is needed to
supplement the work of schools,
it is needed for those who can
not attend schools, it is needed
to give the mechanic opportuni
ty to read what is doing in the
world and what will benefit him;
it is needed by the business men;
it is needed by the pastors, the
lawyers, the doctors and the
teachers of the town; it is needed
by the clubs and reading circles;
it is needed by weary mother
who wants to catch a glimpse of
something that will take her
away from herself and from the
cares of the day; it is needed by
tho young ladies of the city to
nable them to kecm tho mind
well cultivated so that they can
be ihelriful to the churches and
Sunday schools and to society at
large; it is needed by the young
men who are in college and re

Andrew Carneffio. realizintr

ries, and still other millions lor
libraries in other cities than his
own. Baltimore would not be

THE HONEY KIHItS.
Hon
They Lead the Traveler to
the
Fensl of Which They Tnko,
Full Share.
Thoarnithologist finds in South
America, Africa and Australia
certain birds, though not identi
cal or similar in habits and 110
more unselfish than man, they
serve travelers wonderfully well.
They are called honey birds.
The explorer not acquainted
with them observes their half
frantic llutterings and chirpings,
as thoy behave much like the
mother partridge, while the in
stinctive purposes are the very
opposite.
The mother partridge flits and
1 flutters before the intruder, as if
tempting the hope of catching
her, and thus lures man, dog or
other creature she fears away
from her young. When a good
distance is made she takes wing
for her brood again, that have
crouched in grass or wliatever.
She has accomplished her pur
pose and gotten rid of her enemy.
But not so with the honey bird.
If the explorer will follow its
leadings ho will find a colony of
bees with a good quantity of
choice wild honey.
Tho bird watches the process
and comes in for its well deserved
part when the honey is laid bare.
So persistent and fearless are
they that the-y can almost be
picked up while feasting on the
finest.

( apt. Hill Receive s An Apiioiiilmeiil.
On Monday, the loth, Capl.
Edward Hill, of this place, went
to Washington City on a busines.s
trip. Ever since ('apt. Hill re
turned home from the army
recently he has been desiring to
return to the army service
which was found to add quite
much to his health. On Friday
afternoon a telegram came from
Washington slating that he had
received an appointment as first
lieutenant in the provisional
regular army for the Philippine
war.
Mr. Hill is to be congratulated
on securing his appointment,
which was no doubt granted him
on account of his popularity and
ability while in service as cap
tain of (Company L in the First
North Carolina regiment. The
dispatch did not st;. to what
regiment he would be as
signed.

They Mere Too liouirh, Entirely.
It was a splendid battle that
was fought Friday afternoon be
tween Charlotte's "Rough Ri
ders," and our "Wheelers Cav
alry." The Riders were? found
to be not rough, but binder too
tender to hit and catch balls like
the cavalrymen, who could
mount and dismount most easily.
They meiunte'd upon the Riders
and gave them a defeat of 7 to 1.
Neither side scored until the
sixth inning. Tom Smith
knocked a three-bagger. Our
team made three runs in the
sixth inning, one in the seventh,
and three in the ninth. Char
lotte's only run was made by
Kmiuitt Cray in the ninth inning.
Lloyd Withers, of the Charlotte
team, did s e nice fielding dur
ing the game, but several of the
team were found wantiug when
it comes to playing ball.
Hotter Score the Sedond Day.
On Thursday the Kings Moun
tain team deteated our hoys con
siderably, but on Friday our
boys stuck to them to flic; last
aud met defeat only by one run,
the score being 0 to 5 against in.
Probably we will yet make that
back on them next Tuesday and
Wednesday, when they come'
here.
Our hoys will play today to a
good largo crowd, of course, in
Charlotte,
