Tho tem perance committee of tho North ern Presbyterian general assem bly lately took steps to impress on church sossions the wisdom and propriety of a temperance committee in each church. The much criticised "Sheldon's Edition" of Topeka Capital makes no uncertain sound on temperance, as well as eyery other reform. Even Christian friends get hit, is tho reason many bitter criticisms on the paper come from Christian ed itors. One hundred thousand drunk ards go down to tho grave year ly. Havo tho leaders of our na tion nothing to say? A hundred thousand widows left to struggle with poverty and shame. 'Have quarterly meet ings and ministers nothing to say? Poor-houses, jails, State pris ons have to bo enlarged; throe fourths there caused by drink. Has the State nothing to say? One more organization is on foot and none needed more, viz. : The young ladies are forming in a league that they will not ac cept the company of a man who will indulge in spiritous bover agos. Mr. Gillette has brought bo fore tho House of Representa tives a bill regulating the sale of liquor in tho Philippines. It provides that no person except on a physician's prescription shall sell liquors in quantity less than twenty gallons under pen alty of from $50 to $1, 000. The Kindley Young Ladies' Temperance Society will meet the first Saturday ove in April at Mr. McCall's. The public school department of tho Patterson school will close next week.

Maud S., the famous trotter, who died on Saturday, was buried with honors Monday on the es tate of Robert Bonar, at East View, in the northern part of Westchestor county, says the New York Journal. When Maud S. was lowered into tho grave, the stablomon on the Bonner farm uncovered their heads, and tears were seen in many eyes as her body was cov ered with earth. Tho body occupiod a plot ad joining the grave of Dexter, and arrangements havo been made to erect a fine monument over her last resting place. The funeral procession, as it wended its way from Portchestor to East View, a distance of 12 miles, attractod considerable at tention along tho entire route, A largo farm wagon, which was usod for a hearso, bore a large portrait of tho old mare, on the bottom of which was painted in largo letters theso words: "Maud S., died March 17, 1900, 26 years old. " Tho pic ture was painted by the son of Thomas ,G Wilson, 10 years ago. One of the horses used to draw the hearse was a colt of Maud S., aud owned by John II Shults, on whoso farm Maud S. died. Scores of horsemen from New York visited the Shults stock farm on Sunday to take a last look at the famous trotter. Many carried away a lock of her mane r.s a remembrance. No one was allowed to touch the tail, which was cut off and given to the Bonuor heirs. ' OLD MILL IN ASHES. The Mavtlu Llpo Mill Furns-Olber Buildings Nnrrovriy Saved. Tho Martin Lipo grist mill proportj was burned Thursday about 3 o'clock p. m. It caught from a spark from the smoke stock, which wo learn was not sufficiently high. Tho saw mill was running at tho time. By good fortune the wind was so favorable as to draw tho flames in tho right direction to save all the other buildings on tho premises, including the saw mill. Neighbors and friends as sembled quickly at the prolonged call of the whistle and rendered valuable aid. The mill property, capable of being moved, had been sold, as other personal property, with the privilege of use on the orig inal site while the owners wished. It was owned by Messrs. William Swearingon and David McEachern. Inasmuch as tho saw mill and all the buildings that might so easily have been involved were saved, the loss is not considered very seriously.

Two-Year-Old Child Gets Fills That Prove Fatal. A terrible tragedy occurred noar Elm City Saturday night, bringing grief to a happy home. Mr. Lee Greenwood had been taking pills containing arsenic, and by some unhappy mischance his little girl, aged about two years, got hold of the box Sat urday night. In a little while she became very sick, and it was discovered that she had swal lowed some of the pills. Immediately her father put her in a buggy and ran the horse to Elm City, taking the child to Dr. Chears. It was too late, however, and in three minutes after reaching the physician the child was dead. Wilson News It Had the Desired Effect. A crowd of our young citizens waited on the two Mormon elders who struck our county some two weeks ago and let them under stand that we do not need Mor monism in this county and that the best thing they could do would be to leave at once. The Mormons perceived that the boys meant all they said, and made a promise last Friday if they would bo allowed to got away then and there they would go never to re turn. Thus their second effort to civilize our county has failed, and history will probably repeat itself if other efforts are mado in this line. Stanly Enterprise. Jas. Faggart, of So. 3 Township, '.Dead. Only a few days ago Mr. Jas. Faggart, of No. 3 township, was afflicted with rheumatism in one of his lower limbs and also had a severe chill.

Notice Given to the Users of the Sewer' age Pipe Leading From the St. Cloud Hotel to Buffalo Creek. There has been some trouble for the last while in regard to the line of sewerage leading from the St. Cloud hotel tothoBuf falo creek, which reasons we will not begin to explain as they are personal matters. But the matter has reached the point that Mr. R A Brown, through whose land the sewer age pipes run on his property behind the Fenix roller mill, has issued the following notice to all users of this line of sewer: "Take notice that on the 23rd day of March, 1900, 1 will remove from my land the piping of the line of sewer from the St. Cloud hotel to Buffalo creek, thereby disconnecting 6aid sewer, and you are hereby notified not to use said sewer aftor said date."

C B Miller, of this place, belongs, the matter of supplying pastors for Chestnut Hill Lutheran church at Salis bury and St. Andrews' Lutheran church of this place was dis cussed. Tho committee recom mended that Rov. H W Jeff coat. who has been supplying that church, be retained, and as pas tor of St. Andrews church here they recommendod Rev. C A Brown, who is now tho pastor of two churches in Rowan county east of Salisbury. This action is subject to tho approval of the congregations of the two churches. Arranging a Democratic Itinerary.

The nominees will leave Raleigh at 9 o'clock in the morn ing, stop at Burlington on the 17th, speak at Winston during the day and Salisbury at night, on the 18th at Hickory or New ton, and the 19th at Asheville. The remainder of the itinerary is not yet definitely decided on If the connections can be made, the next speech will be made west of Asheville, then return to Salisbury, where speeches will be made. The next at Charlotte, possibly taking in Concord, thence to Fayetteville and Rocky Mount and possibly other points east. These ratification meet ings will cover about twelve days of continuous speaking. They will be a distinctly new feature in North Carolina. Talking Secession. . Messrs.

H D Stowe, W E Ardrey and C H Wolfo, of Meck lenburg branch of tho same order, in regard to Cabarrus "seceding" and uniting with the Mecklenburg branch.

For some time our baseball enthusiasts have been laying the plans of the coming season, and unless something changes the present arrangements we will haye a team that will stand the blows of any of the teams and Concord can add to her laurels, Col. Jno. Wadsworth, who in company with Dr. R S Young and Geo. L Patterson, will prob ably push the baseball business this summer, has made 6ome of the plans public. The following was printed in the Charlotte Ob server, which will be at least partly correct as to the members of our team: "Mr. John Wadsworth, who was over from Concord Wednes day, announced that Concord has already selected and "signed' her baseball players for the Inter-State League. This is the list: Rich Reid, first base; Wins ton, of Franklinton, second, and Bob Wilkins, third base; Garah Caldwell, short-stop; Lawson, pitcher, with Winston alternate pitcher; LoGrande, of Lynch burg, catcher; Weddington, cen tre, and Fox, of Roanoke, Va. loft field. The right fieldor has also boon selected. "To Concord, then, belongs the proud distinction of being the first town in the State to 6late its team for tho coming season. The Charlotto baseball enthu siasts are not at all idle, and it is expected that they will have a nine in a few days. It was stated Wednesday that the other towns that have expressed their inten tion to enter the league are Greensboro, Statesvillo, Wil mington and Maxton. "Tho present idea seems to be to get all these teams into jiroper shape to play hero during the 20th of May celebration wook." Tho name of Mr. Dolph Man gum was omitted by Mr. Wads worth in the above list. A Hen Finds a Sew Nest. Though incredible it may seem it is nevertheless true that young lady of Forest Hill, who works in the mill at night, can say her hair has been a hen nest. The lady while asleep was vis ited by the favorite hen of the house. The chicken pulled the hair pins out and in its own pe culiar way made its nest of the maiden's hair. The lady awoke but realized quickly the circum stances and did not move. After the nest was suitably arranged in chicken style ere long there was an egg in the nest and tne hen went out cackling. The hen deserves praise for such taste as to its quarters for laying. A Large Amount Unpaid. Sheriff Pock's tax books show a large amount of the taxes of our county yet unpaid, though the time has expired for their payment before extra cost is addod for tho delay. One would bo surprised to know the num bers of peoplo who continually put off the matter of paying their taxes until the last moment, when they were in equally as good circumstances when the sheriff first advertised that the new tax books woro in his hands, Mr. Slalcoliu Robinson Drops Dead.
