Tho situation in South Africa is that of war in all the essentials, but those of actual carnage which will follow quickly unless studi ously avoided for more time to get ready. The reply to tho Boer ultimatum was to the effect that Great Britian could not even discuss the terms. The English diplomat has takon his passports and bidden adieu to the Trans vaal. That government has ad vanced its troops into Natal. The British also are moving to the front. Seizures of trains, etc., mark also the beginning of hostile acts. There will proba bly be efforts at up-rising in Na tal and Cape Colony according to indications now, and all the in dications point to a fierce contest. L'nlvcrslty Itallroad U pa; &2500.

A dis patch to the Handelsblad from Batavia, capital of the Netherlands Indies, Java, says that a' violent earthquake has visited the . , south side of the island of, Ceram, next to the largest of the islands, between Borneo and Papua, completely destroying the town of Amhei and killing, it is estimated, some 4,000 people, as well as injuring some 500 others. The dispatch says that details of the disaster have not yet boon obtained. - Change at Niagara Falls. xsy a ian or rocic which oc curred recently, just when no body seems to know, the Horse shoe Falls has been restored to a more symmetrical shape and to the form from which It derived its name. .This condition was discovered by aa old man by the name of Pitts, who called the at tention of others to it, and all agree that the change had oc curred in the. contour of the waterfall. Of late years the falls has been quite "V" shaped, destroying much of the natural beauty by forcing a large amount of the water to flow over the centre, instead of being evenly distributed, and thus contribut ing to the symmetry of the falls However, this latest fall of rock has had the effect of restoring the horse-shoe shape to tho falls and greatly increasing the beau ty of its lines. The fall of rock will interest scientific men and others who have made a study of the falls In a paper on the duration of the falls, Prof. Spencer has said that from 1812 to 1890, 275,000' 000,000 square foot fell away. In 1819 the of the crest Horseshoe Falls was very acute. Lessen to Register. A prettly little story is told by the Evening Memphis Scimeter teaching a lesson to have about you the means of identity. In the early days when Fayette county was sparsely settled a man was found dead by a eek some distance from Mr. Halls' hotel. On examination and inquest it was found that he died of natural causes and had $25,000 with him. No clue to his identity could be obtained. The money was turned over to the county trustees and put on interest. Twenty-one years aftorward there came along a man of 27 years and stopped at the Hall hotel. The proprietor urged him to register, saying it would help to trace him if occasion required and told him the story of the dead man with the $25,000. The young man had been striving all these years to find out something of his lost father and here was the clue. He proved to the satisfaction of the trustees that he was the son and heir and was entitled to the fund. He received the full amount which . had grown to double the original sum. Will I'ay Interest la Advance. As a means of relieving the existing money stringency and to prevent the further accumula tion of a useless Treasury sur plus, Assistant Secretary Van derlip is prepared to prepay all government interest due within the. 'current fiscal'' year, which does not end until July 1, 1900. The amouht that will be thus ad vanced, including that which is already due or will come within thirty days, is $30,000,000. ihe government will save something by discounting its in terest payments for three-fourths of a year, but the principal gain in the transaction will be to the public. The money, and it is a large sum, will be in circulation instead of being uselessly tied up in the Treasury vaults where it can do nobody any good. With a surplus of nearly $300, 000,000 already in the Treasury, Secretary Vanderlip is fully jus tified in paying the government interest in advance, and to this extent relieving the- present stringency in the money market. Philadelphia Times. After separating twenty times k-niarriod couple in a Pennsyl vania town finished up by taking a final parting by , way of a di vorce mill. The man's principal objection to the woman was the custard pies she mado for him and the trousers she made for other men.-Morniug Star. rinehurst as a Winter Resort Nuuier ous Hotels and Cottages. A new hotol has been built at Pinehurst, the famous winter re sort established in the pine re gion of Moore county by Mr. Tufts, the millionaire soda foun tain manufacturer from Boston. It will becallodthe "Carolina" and when complotod will have cost about $125,000. The hotel contains 325 rooms and the dis tance around it is exactly five eights of a mile. It is now being most luxuriously furnished and will be open for the reception of guests by November 1st.. The carpets in it alone cost over $12, 000. ' The '"Carolina" will make the seventh hotel at Pinehurst, all owned by Mr. Tufts. The other 6ix are: Holly Iun, 132 rooms; Borkshire, 87 rooms; Magnolia, 27 rooms; Cedars, 25 rooms; and Pine Grove, 17 rooms. In addition to this Mr. Tufts owns 76 cottages which he rents to families. Last winter all the hotels, cottages and boarding houses were full of guests. Talks Directly to New York. Not until recently has the Bell Telephone Co. had calls for their line from here to New York. Within the last week. Mr. Jas. W Cannon has had occasion . to use it three times. The price for a conver-1 sation with one in New York is $3.75. That would to some seem very expensive while in important affairs it is a great satisfaction to talk directly to the person there. Organization Effected Again. Alter spending thoir summer months in pleasure found at sum mer resorts and visiti.,g friends, the members of the Thursday Afternoon Whist club met again this week with Mrs. Robt. S Young and will now cont inue their meetings regularly. Tho meeting was full of interest and the members have commenced as with new vigor. Elegant re freshments were served by Mrs. Young. Creps of Smail Uraln For '1)9. The total wheat crop of 1899 is estimated by the American Agriculturist, in its final report to be published Oct. 14 at 505, 350,000 bushels, grown on 15, 251,000 acres, as compared with a production last year which, in the light of the season's move ment, cannot have boon less than 716,000,000 bushols. The aver age yield per acre is placod at 125 bushels. The winter wheat crop is esti mated at 197,000,000; average yield 11.5 bushels per acre; spring wheat crop, 209,000,000; average rate of yield 13.7 bushels. The average rate of yield of oats according to Agriculturist, is returned at 30.4, bushels per acre 2.05 bushels above that of last year and an average higher than was ever before reported for tho whole breadth. The crop is estimated at 809,000,000 bushels, against 799,000,000 in 1898 and 814.000,000 in 1897. Tho quality of the present crop is reported unusually good. The authority named places the average condition of corn three points lower than Sept. 1 and only two higher than was reported at this date a year ago, and adds that if the fiual rate of yield shall substantiate that indi cated by the returns, thojerop is likely to be found rather above 2,125,000,000 bushels, a fairly liberal result, but not a record crop.

J D Arnold in his meeting at Forest Hill re ceived a pleasant surprise today (Friday) from his congregation at Spencer in the way of a lotter containing a postal note for $20 with the request that he make for them a selection of a suit of clothes for that amount and accept it as a gift in testimony of their love and esteem. , Rev. Craven, of course, complied and was much pleased with the suit obtained. News fromthe Bingham School. Written for The Standard. Mobano, Oct. 15. Among tho list of students who stood first in thoir respective classes for the month ending October 2nd, were Brandon Means and Gordon Johnson, of Concord, and Billy LcGrande. Last Monday night an old fashioned candy pulling was given by tho Literary Societies and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Some of tho loveliest young ladies from the surrounding country were present, and every body seemed to have a good time. The entertainment was held in the large dinning hall of the school which was handsomoly decorated with palms and ferns. The boys returned from Guil ford Collega highly pleased with the courteous and hospitable treatment received there. The football game was close and ex citing from boginning to end. Both Guilford and Bingham got touchdown and the score was then five to five, but Guilford kicked goal and won by a single point. Neither side scored in the first half and the ball was gen erally kept by Bingham in Guil ford's territory. A Ten Picture of 'Kid Buck." Tho Monroo Enquirer gets th following off on Mr. H E Bryant, "Red Buck," getting picture of him from tho Bible: "Wo were glad to see Mr. H E U liryant, of the Charlotte Ob server, in Monroe again. He was here yesterday. It is his first visit here since his serious sick ness. For awhile we were afraid that we would never see the kindly face of our good friend again, but ho is now well, hale and hoarty. If. "Red Buck" will turn to the pages of his well worn and much-usod Bible to 1st Samuel, 10th chapter and 12th verso, he will hnd a good pen picture or himself. The verse referred to above by Brother Ashcraft is as follows "And he sont and brought him in. Now he was ruddy and withal of a beautiful appearance and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, "Arise, anoint him, for this is he!" A Dangerous Experience. Mr. Neal Henderson, who clerks at the Morris hardware store, had an exciting experience Thursday afternoon near the lumber yard of the Yorko & Wadsworth Co. As he was riding along the istreet on horseback a team drove into the street from the lumberyard and before he could realize his danger the tonguo of tho wagon struck tho horse in the side. The horse fell into the ditch and Mr. Hen derson was thrown violently upon the ground, but far enough away that the horse did not fall on him. Neither Mr. Henderson nor tho horse sustained any injury from tho dangorous tumble The driver of tho team didn't stop to investigate the damage. The Necessary Amount Not Subscribed. On Sunday, the first day of October, it will be remembered that a congregational meeting was hold in the First Presby- teriau church and it was decided that a tn (1ays canvass be made to solicit subscriptions for the purcnaso oi mo unison property n North Main street as a loca- tion for a new church. The canvass was made during the allotted ten days. Two thousand dollars was the amount to be subscribed and onlv 1.750 was subscribed.

The Flames Soen Fill the Sapper Kooni Doing Considerable Damage U Machinery and Cloth Cause of tbe ' Fire Net Known. Shortly after 3 o'clock today (Thursday) the fire alarm was soundod and poople rushed out to locate the flames. But by that time tho fire was almost subdued and the damage was done. No cause is known for the breaking out of fire in the knap per room at the bloachery. G W Shorrill, who works at one Of the: machines, was apprised of thevfire when one of the men hollered to him that he was on fire. He turned and found the flames spreading all over the ma chine. Soon the lint and cloth was burning and Mr. Sherrill es caped only in time. Some of the operatives soon connected a hose with one of the hydrants and ere long subdued the flames. The stream of water as well as the fire did much dam age to the machinory, which machinery is very expensive. Thousands of yards of cloth were saturated with water, and a con siderable amount of it was burned partly. The damage could not bo estimated yet, but it will be at least several hun dred dollars.

Would Fall on This One A new military prison chap lain was rocently appointed in a certain town in Scotland. He was a man who greatly macni lied his office. On entering ono of the cells on his first round of inspection, he, with much pomposity, thus addressed the prisoner who occupied it: "Well, sir, do you know who I tim .'" 'No, nor I dinna care," was the nonchalant reply. "Well, I'm your new chap lain." "Oh, ye are; well, I heard tell o' ye before."

The indirect benefit of the in crease of factories in North Car olina is not yet appreciated. Some have even so concerned themselvos with the factory problem" that they are unable to be glad for the increase of industrial population. That there is a problem is not denia ble; but that it is of such import as to bid us falter in our encour agement of industrial activity in this respect, only one who has not thought into the subject will hold. Any one who appreciates the changes for the better al ready wrought by the increase of factories will gladly welcoorae all the problems that a thousand more will bring in their train. For many years the population of our State has been ruinously out of balance; our producers of raw material hare so far outnum bered our manufactures and con sumers that farming has ceased to be remunerative, and popula tion engaged in that sphere has not only ( become discontented, but in some degree desperate of advancement. Now the factories will tend to balance the popula tion and adjust supply and de mand. They offer employment to the surplus labor in the fields they have already become the source of support for large num bers. And in so doing, they also create a consuming class, the class dependent upon the produce of the farm; not only calling for thoir cotton to manu facture, but also making requisi tion upon thoir wheat and corn fields, their stock, and their truck. Farmers who live in the vicinity of factories find a readier market for their produce, and the acres once wholly given to I cotton are employed more prof itably. Immediately farming becomes more attractive; land I v i n goes up; laoor is maemana. oo then the increase of factories of all kinds is a blessing upon our whole State. Biblical Recorder, Burglars Waint Col. Cam Tho Durham correspondent to tho Charlotte Observer under date of the 11th, says: "Last night the residences of Gen. J S Carr and Judgo Robert W Winston were burglarized and at the former place between $3,000 and $4,000 worth of jew elry was carried off. The whole matter is shrouded in mystery and there is no clue as to who burglarized those homes. Jew elry was also taken from the home of Judge Winston, but the package was found by one of the servants in the back yard this morning. "When Gen. Carr was dressing this morning he discovered that his diamond stud, valued at $1,000, was gone from his shirt. This discovery lead to a further investigation and it was then found that his home had been burglarized during the night and $4,000 worth of Jewelry carried foff. , "Among the jewels taken the following is a partial list: Gon. Carr's diamond 6tud, valued at $1,000; Mrs. Carr's watch $700; Gen. Carr's watch, $500; a pair of, gold cuff buttons, set with diamonds, belonging to Claiborn Carr; a diamond scarf pin, dia mond brooch, ear-drops and a Very valuable watch fastener, used to pin a wateh to a lady's dress, belonging to Mrs. Carr. "It 6oeras that the burglar was looking for jewelry, as thousands of dollars worth of gold and sil verware might have been carried off with all ease. "Some of the jewelry will be hard for tho present owners to handle. . The $1,000 stud was a registered stono. It was stolen from Gen. Carr during the World's Fair in Chicago. Eleven months later the stone was re covered by some of the Pinker ton detective force in the Windy City. Mrs. Carr's watch was of peculiar design and had a picture of Gn. Carr engraved on the lid. Gen. Carr's watch was also of a design that would be easy to trace. Any of the diamonds could readily be Identified If, foaind." Col.

A short time ago we publishod a "Model Lovo Letter," coming from the pen of ihe editor of the Monroe Enquirer. One of our correspondents is the author of tho following answer to it: DEARPn' "You Know:" While h.-iiidly sitting under the dropping oi the twilight, and listeni jr to tho melodious notes of a pluii.Livo Tom cat perched on the back fence, what should I receive but your own dear letter filled brimful with honeyed words coated over two inches thick with tiugar of sweetness. I can't find iiloquato word:, to pro mulgate my calorihc esoteric toolings, as our dictionary is spending vacation abroad; but, oh! your lotter was a treat bet ter than a rural pedagogue'. treat the last day of school. It was chock full of tho very quin tessencejofdouble-distillod .sweet ness, with a large vein of delicious, honey-drinping love running all through it, and stick ing out in places, like a small boy's head from a window of the school house when the circus or a load of early watermelons passes by. I was charmed by tho quaint stylo of humor oozing out from your uuiquo epistolary dissertation; and while rumi nating thereon like an unsophis ticated goat on tho county-seat of an old pair of pantaloons, my heart unconsciously capitulated to your elastic affections which had surrounded it like the rubber cover of a base ball in the bot tom of au old-fashioned frog pond. I love you harder than a soft-boiled egg; and my heart leans out toward you like a dumpling or a friod flap-jack to ward the canine cavity of a hun gry dog-gone it. My love is stronger than the city police or boarding-house butter. How I long to be with you, and bask in the moonlight of your regal smiles, on a dark night, after the old folks have retired and the light burns low. Your precious eyes are like golden stars of promise peeping out through free-silvery clouds of national disaster. Your nose, never having poked itself into other people's business, ha.s had ample opportunity to grow, and has most wonderfully and fearfully illustrated the princi ples of "expansion." Tho in cipient mustache, which sits under the droppings of your blossoming nose, is soft and velvety to touch, and reminds one of some great event which has failed to occur. It shelters a large, sweet mouth which laugheth at fear and spurteth out immense discharges of the liquid extract of borrowed chews of tobacco, like melted lava from the turbulent mouth of an alTec tionate volcano. A bountiful harvest of auburn hair over shadows your classic forehead like a brush arbor over a camp meeting. Your benignant smile is like a gentle ripple on the sur face of a natural lake of home spun molasses; and the odor of your spicy breath bringa back fond recolections of the fragrant smellification of odoriferous Limburger cheese. Your ruby lips with honey drips. They are like twin bulls which arise in the morning, paw and bellow the ground, and butt each other into tho middle of next week. Tons of succulent kisses are smeared about over the suburbs of your roseate face like soap-grease on the interior of a lard jar filled with peas. Little cupids are picnicking about over your classic countenance, and the thrilling melody of your stento rian voiee is unequalod by any thing other than that which issues from an up-to-date frog pond after a summer shower. One wee smack of your luscious, rubicund lips is worth a whole hogshead of the nectar which Jupiter sips and a swig o' cider to boot. While resting my un worthy head on your manly breast, with arms encircling your compact neck like a weary pumpkin viue around an old stump, I am as near Utophia and the capital of the county as when gulping down the products of an ice-cream factory, or dis puting with the hired man as to how long a dead hen lays. Before receiving your letter, life to me was a dreary Green land overgrown with ico-covored lichens or anectional lmiiliorence, but now it is a tropical Africa with the mosquitoes all trans ported to Siberia. Tho translu cent flint of your heart struck tho opaque steel of luaie, uiA myriad .scintillations touched tho powder of my affections and complexion, and a lively explo sion blasted away tho rocks of indifference, and unearthed a glorious fountain of blissful love growing up as calves of tliestall. I am most felicitously happy to inform you that I do ir.ost as suredly reciprocate and return your affections, in a neat little package, post-paid. I enclose half a dozen kisses for you. These should bo kept in a dry place to keep them from sticking together. Write immediately or sooner, if you can, and next Sun day evening I shall sit on your kuoe as usual; and believe me to be, Your own little pet. Ann ik. .Marconi is Successful.
