Boston Courier Smoking Penkft. For several years past there has been an annual emission of smoke from a number of the peaks in the mountains north of Hwannanoa station, and about fifteen miles from this city. Some say the phenomena has been no ticed since the earthquake at Charleston. It lasts for a few weeks each fall, and the smoko can only be seen for two or three hours during the middle of the day. J vv JJoone, who owns Lirgij number of the smoking peaks, was hero yesterday, and gave the information that a still larsre number of tho knobs are smokiiisr this year, and that Watch Knob is giving forth vol umes of smoko.

Oct. 6, 1809 Caldwell & Buckley, Art'ya. Tim Sumo Everywhere, Thoro has boen more building done in North Carolina during tho past six months than during any previous six months of her history. I 1 every largo town or city in the State, during the past six months,' contractors have hardly been able to got enough material or mechanics to do thoir work, so great has boon the demand for both labor and material. We doubt if there ever was a period in onr State's history when a mechanic could more easily get work or buy more with his wages. And not only skilled mechanics find plenty of profit able work, but all kinds of laborers and workman can get plenty of work at fair wages This is easily provod by a visit to almost any town in the State. But while the above is true as to the towns, the rural sections havenot heretofore been so blessed, but at last the country, the farmers afe feeling its effects and becoming more hopeful and encouraged. The great increase in the price of cotton is a great God-send to our country and to a class of people who need all they can got. This increase is now fifty per cent over the price of cotton at this time last year, and it may be still groater. Our farmers have waited long and suffered patiently. For years they have boen raising cotton at a price that hardly paid expenses. Now, at last they can sell at a profit and feel that their "labor has not been in vain." Pittsboro Record. Demand for Labor. The best proof of tho fact that the South is progressing and get ting a fair share of prosperity is tho announcement of a shortage of labor. This is especially no ticeable in Florida. Cross-tie cutters, phofiphn.te minors, dock laborers are in domand in many portions of the State. Up to a few months ago there soomod to be no demand for laborers or mochanics. The supply greatly exceeded tho demand. Now it is tho reverse, and daily men are here in search of help for their business in various parts of the State. It is the same with cotton factories in North and South Carolina. It is stated that there is considerable difficulty in se curing enough labor to keep the machinery of the mills running on full time, but it is quite safe to say that this problom will soon be solvod by the law of supply and demand, as tho payment of good wages will induce intelli gent young men and womon from tho country to seek employment in the mills. Jacksonville Me tropolis. Dnnent'a's Awful Deed.

The Salisbury correspondent to the Charlotte Observer says: Mr. J P Gaskill and Miss Helen Bruton were painfully in jured in a runaway near Dunn's Mountain, four milos out, Wednesday afternoon. The young people had already found a double rig unmanageable on account of a break in the bar ness, and a single team had been secured from town. The horse began by kicking the dashboard, knocking Mr. Gaskill out of the buggy in a state of unconscious ness. Then with a jerk that broke one of the shafts, he turned tho buggy over on Miss Bruton, giving a kick that broke one of her ribs. The young people came home in Capt.

Tae Work of tho Foreign Missionary Society of the First Presbyterian Chareh During' Its Past Twelve Years of Good Work. Written for The Standard. The thank offering' reception given by the ladies of the For eign Missionary society, of ti e First Presbyterian church, on Friday evening was well attend ed by thosociotios of thischuich. The ten members, who ornud tho committee on refreshments, rendered tho evening a happy one by the tempting menu sorvod in a most charming way to each gue6t. The baskot for tho offer ing, placed prominently at tho entrance, was not overlooked; it felt heavy about 6 o'clock. The following report was road by the secretary: "The Woman's Foreign Mis sionary socioty of tho First Pres byterian church of Concord, N. C, was organized Oct. 10th, 1887. A constitution was formulated by Rev. Dr. C M Payne, thon pastor of the church, and accepted by the twenty members who con stituted tho first onrollment. Tho official staff of the society has been as follows: Presidents, Mrs. Joel Reed, Mrs. M M Gil Ion, Mrs. R S Harris, Mrs. Alida Burkhead, Mrs. D B Morrison; Vice-Presidents, Mrs. Win. Montgomery, Mrs. P B Fetzor, Mrs. M M Gillon, Mrs. G W Brown, Mrs. T Chapman, Mrs. ND Fotzer, Mrs. J A Sims, Mrs. C J Goodson; Secretaries, Mrs. A I Woodhouse, Mrs. Alida Burkhead, Mrs. N D Fotzer, Mrs. R S Harris; Treasurers, Mrs. H C Herring, Mrs. G M Lore, Mrs. D B Morrison, Miss Lelia King; Corresponding Secre taries, Mrs. Alida Burkhead, Mrs. H C Horring, Mrs. J P Allison; Executive Committees, First, Mrs. R W Allison, Miss Lou Stuart, Miss Lelia King; Second, Mr6.

The membership has alter natoly waxed and waved; at one time there were 70 names on the roll, now, only 46. We have lost 10 members by death, some by removals to other places. The society has had tho smiles of a kind Providence on the days of meeting, for in the 12 years of its existence, only 4 sessions have boen prevented by stormy weather. The meetings have boon held regularly on the first Monday of every month, bring ing the members of the church together in a common cause, cementing friendships and dis semenating much information as to the progress of tho Gospel in all parts of the world. Our con tributions, like our membership, have also waxed and waned; in one year only, did we run over 129.00; the general aver age has boon between $80 and $90. Therefore the amount for warded from this society to tho Executive committee at Nashi ville, Tenn. does not quite roach $1000.00.

Tho Baltimore Sun's Washington dispatch of the 10th says: "The conscience fund of the Treasury was enriched today by a contribution of $'200, which came from Chicago. The letter of contritioti which accompanied it said it was appropriated from tho Commissary Department of tho army during tho Civil War. If tho interest had been added, it would have amounted to threo times as much. The largest part of tho conscience fund is made up of amounts returned which were unlawfully takon during tho period of tho Civil War, "It is not believod the aggre gate of these contributions, how ever, would make more than a mere fraction of the vast sums of which tho rrovernmont was robbed through tho Commissary and Quartermaster departments during the Civil War. Some of the Treasury officials estimated it as much as one or two hun dred millions. The contribution received today gives hope that more ol it may come in.
