community.
A Tar-Heeler's Hlg Job.
Thero are giants in those days
and North Carolina helps to rear
thorn, according to the following
from a Durham news man:
"Mr. Edsror K Smoot. a son of
Mr. W H Smoot, of Durham, has
socured a five million dollar gov
ernment contract in Mexico. It
is for the construction of harbor
works at Manzanillo, on the Pa
cific coast, and consists of a
breakwater to shelter the port
from the west, the direction from
which rolls in the whole sweep
of the Pacific ocean; a wall or
dike parallel to the seashore;
. the deepening of the harbor to
eight and a half meters by
dredges; a canal to introduce and
circulate frosh sea water in the
northern part of the Cuyutlan
lagoon, and a dike to separate
this part from the salt deposit in
the southern part of the lagoon;
the drainage of the San Pedrito
lagoon by a canal; wharves at
such points as the goverment
may designate; and such addi
tional minor works as may be
agreed upon or found to be nec
essary hereafter. The whole
work is to bo completed within
four years from the time the con
f ' l . i ' - -- -
amount of Mr. Snioot's contract
js 5, 732, 750."
It is said that Mr. Smoot has
had much experience in harbor
works, his last contract having
been at Galveston, Toxas. He is
a member of the American So
ciety of Civil Engineers, and
possesses the fullest confidence
of the Mexican government.
What Make Success.
"We are forever going to begin
work in earnest tomorrow," said
Mr. Staybolt, "and we are never
satisfied with the job we've got,
and we perform the labor in
volved in it in only a half hearted
manner, but wo are going to work
in dead earnest when we get a
job to suit us.
''Iho fact is that tomorrow,
when we get to it, will De to us
n,n today is to us now; V shan't
feel any more- like work. And
that other job, when we come in
actual contact with it and see it
Close at hand, won't suit us any
better than the one we've got
now does,
"The truth is that we are
dawdlers and shy of WPrJf ?,nd
trying to got along just as easy
as wo can. We hate to pitch in
and go at things.
"The time for us to work Is
now, not tomorrow,- and the job
for us to collar is the one we've
got. Round that up in style, do
the work completely and thor
oughly, and you'll be astonished
to find how you'll bring it out,
and what changes thero are in it
And everybody that knows about
your work or is in any way con
cerned or affected bv it, as it is
done well or ill, will be delighted
to sue it well done everybody
likes to see a job, whenever it it
well done and pleased with the
doer, and there's money in it
every time.

success; it's the man, and don't
you forgot it." New York Sun,

Apropos 01 the Aitamanaw
man, who can read any writing
except a lawyer's but can't read

Statesville, who can tell the

time by a clocK, Mr. waiter t
Thompson tells a story of a Con
cord coon who is a little ahead
of either of these. When Mr.
Thompson lived in Concord he
numbered among nis acquaint
ances a colored man who could
write and read writing but was
unable to read print. Mr.
Thompson says he has seen the
negro receipt bills and that he
sometimes came to him to get
him to copy a piece of print in
writing so that he (the negro)
could read it.
This story is unaccompaniod
bv an affidavit, but Mr. Thomp
son stands ready to be sworn if
necessary and the Landmark
will vouch for his good stand

The Cotton Business During the Year.
As we are now about to start
on another cotton year, Cotton
Weigher Propst has addod his
totals of the past year and com
mences with new pages. Every
bale that is weighed is numbered
and the name of the purchaser is
also noted, lie found that from
the first day of September, 16'J8
to the dlst day of August, 18'J9,
there were 15,524 bales weighed.
Following is the number pur
chased by our different cotton
buyers:

The amount bought by Messrs

bales, was consumed in the
Odoll mills, while the 6,424 bales
purchased by the Cannon & Fet

It Is Praiseworthy Work.
During the past vacation im
provements have been made in
the central graded school build
ing in several particulars, the
principal one being thechangui;
of still another wall whereby
four rooms can now bo changed
into one large room whon neces
sary. A lew more desks are
necessary too for the coming
session.
There is something most
worthy of notice as to the graded
school building this year, lor
which the small boy deserves
much praise. It can only be ex
plained when we opine that the
love of the boy Jfor his school
building has become greater and
his unruly and wreckless ways
are laid aside for something
more profitable to him and less
expensive to the graded school
board. It is the breaking ol
window glasses to which we
allude. Almost every year there
are about seventy-hve or eighty
window glasses to put in before
the school opens. Last year
there were 12o new ones put in
lust before school opened. Mr.
Coltrane has visited the building
expecting to count the full num
ber and found not one. It is well
if our boys continue in their
good ways thus.
They are Being Ousted.
Mayor Means has for the last
while been keeping an eye on a
crowd of negro women about

town. The gang has been
broken into and it is thought
that 'it will end in their leaving
town being imprisoned. One
of the crowd, Laura Melchor,
was put in jail several days ago
for hghting, and V euuesday
night Mag Plunkett was sent to
jail. Two others, seeing their
danger of being within the
clutches of the law, have lefl
town as will also one or two
more probably. Let our execu
tive department continue in this

A Reckless Uieyclc Killer.
On Friday afternoon some un
known bicyclo rider ran over
Days, the six-year-old son of Dr.
Sam Montgomery. The boy was
not badly hurt but was bruised
somewhat. The rider did not
stop when ho struck the little
follow but passed hurriedly on.
This kind of bicycling is danger
ous not only to the one that
happens to bo in front of the
wheel but to the rider for if the
latter is caught he will suffer
for his recklessness. Just such
reckless riders as that ono Fri
day afternoon causes ordinances
to be passed prohibiting others
from riding on the pavements in
some parts of the town, and will
later Very probably necessitate
bolls and lanterns on every
wheel.

Miss Caldwell Won the Cake.
The Lynchburg, Va., Times
contains tho following of one of
Concord's young ladies :
"A very enjoyable and largely
attended entortainmont was given

Thursday night by tho young
people of that vicinity. The first
thing on the program was a
"cake walk," and the contestants
wore all blackened and costumed
to represent the "darkies. It
was said to have been an ideal
cake walk and tho prize
was awarded to Miss Gertrude

"Soups" and "Swullops."
An exchange says at Shop-
hordstown, West Virginia, theyjgregatod. Rev.
have a novel picnic custom
started up during the war that
thoy call "Soups."
Each person invited brings
dressed chicken, the host pro
viding tho vegetables. Poultry
arid vegetables are placed in
largo kettles holding from ten
to twenty gallons, and tho com
bination is cooked over open fires
for several hours, or until it is
reduced almost to a jolly. Pep
per and other seasonings are in
troducod. The girls and young
fellows stir soup with long
handled iron spoons, keeping up
a march or walk around the
kettle as they do so. When
girl's spoon sticks against the
spoon of a young man, ho is at
liberty to catch and kiss her. Of
courso tyiere are many lively
skirmishes and a great deal of
fun in tho gamo. When the soup
is done it is ladled out into plates
and eaten. It is said to be deli
cious. The custom owes us on
gin to a company of Stonewall
Jackson's men, who wero re
cruited in that part of tho State
These ex-Coufods Keep up their
organization. They havo a re
union once a year, at which they
celebrate with a grand "soup."
It is said that a "soup" properly
gotten up stiouUi be made or
stolen chickens, but the veterans
had to give up foraging after tin:
war and make a compromise by
going around in squads and rob
bintr each other s roosts by mu-
tual'understaiidiiig.
In parts of Pennsylvania thoy
have clubs of 'Swallopoleans '
who meet at some given point
and cook up chickens and past ry,
commonly called "chicken and
dumplons," which thoy term
swallop. A committee brings in
tho chickens from tho coop of
any member of the club and
many a man and his wife (if she
chooses to go with him, and
many do) enjoy the chicken in
blissful ignorance of tho cost till
they look after their poultry next
day. They have a royal good
time of stealing and (sating stolen
chicken without crime.

Southern Railway Wages to he Raised
Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 31,
Tho Southern Railway during
the dull season of 1890 made a
cut of 10 percent, in wages of all
employes of the system. Some
months ago the wages of shop
men wore restored, while the en
gineers also secured a slight in
crease. ,
It is learned that President
Spencer has decided to restore
the 10 per cent, cut, and that an
nouncements to this effect will
bo made about September 10th.
In Chattanooga and immediate
vicinity, at least 500 men will be
affected. President Wickershaw,
of the Alabama Great Southern,
which is operated by tho South
ern, will probably be put in
charge of the Atlanta division of
the main line.
