The gathering at Concord on Wednesday was not so well at tended by the farmers. It is a very busy time but the citizens of Concord turned out well, in eluding a large , proportion of the very elite of the ladios. There were soats for all. The Concord band escorted the speakers and enter tained the audience with enjoy able music. Mr. A B Young in troduced Mr. Samuel Patterson tho nominee for Commissioner of Agriculture. He embraced the opportunity of meeting the Ca barrus people and of thanking them for unanimous support in the primaries. Mr. W W Morris introduced Mr. B R Lacy who did not want to divide the time of the speaker of the day but was glad to meet our people. He was quite felici tous in his remarks, at first of a jesting vein, then that of earnest ness and next of the pathoitic. He thougfil himself the only one of 'the ticket that got his nomination from his good looks but he represented no one who does not intend to vote for the amendment. It is -greater than any man. All considerations must be subservient to this. Mr. L T Hartsell introduced Mr. Aycock in a strain of elo quence tnat lor appropriate brevity, sublimity of thought and happy allusions to his subject is rarely equaled by famous orators. He pictured the state in 76 call ing for a loader with which to march to victory from recon struction bondage when Zebulon B Vance responded. Now again the state has called not in vain for a . leader under whom to march to victory for "White Su premacy, for Charles B Aycock has responded. Mr. Aycoctc rose and seemed burdened with a sense of grati tude and unworthiness of the beautiful encominums. He denied that he is leader but that in 200,000 homes iu this good old state are the leaders. He prefaced his remarks with the promise that there 6hould be nothing offensive in his speech and well did he adhere to the promise Ho was exceedingly pleasing iu his manner and often had his audionco convulsed by his own peculiarly funny way of illustra ting his points, when before you were aware he was soaring to eaglo heights in the most soul stirring appeals for the great White Supremacy cause. He said our opponents charge us with the cry of "niggor" "nigger" for tbe last thirty years and so it is. We have been in danger of negro rule all this time and have had two ac tual experiences of it and we want to stop this cry which has found articulation in this pro posed amendment which will allow every white man to vote but will disfranchise 75,000 nogro votes. He knew some whit men, even Domocrats were opposed to the amendment and it is a pleas ure to explain it to them and plead with them. North Caro lina's white men scrutinize all new questions and are slow to adopt until tho fully understand them. Had a Republican boss de manded of tho negroes to vote for this same measure beforo the Democrats took it up they would have done so almost in a body. Men fit to rule act deliberately and after they are conviuced of the wisdom of tho movement. He illustrated by calling atten tion to the slownoss of North Carolinians to withdraw from the union but when they took up arms they were first at Bethel, furthorest at Gettysburg and last to lay down their arms at Appomattox, and then too with the largest number in all the Southern states. The State gave the first, the greatest number ind the last sacrifices- of life in the cause she was so slow to em brace. North Carolina's white men only need to understand the amendment to endorse it. He drew the picture of the Confederate soldier returning home and entering the business of bread and meat when the Re publican party with the enfran chised negro and the disfran chised white men took charge of every branch of government and plunged the state into a debt of if42.OO0.0O0 instead ofa$6,000, 000 debt as they found it, all this amid the state's war-scourged poverty. Beside this, there was no rest nor safety but the Union League existed and houses and barns were burned by them and all was terror and disquietude. Then for the first time in the his tory of this great state did good white men resort to secrecy, of action in self-defenses. The Ku Klux Klan was or ganizod which was a terror to the evil doers. But North Carolinians don't like to rule that way, and in 1870 white men seized the reins of government and the Union League was crushed, the Ku Klux was no longer needed, aud the women of our land were again safo. These results were not from great changes in the laws, but in the class of men behind the laws. Behind Democratic laws stand executive manhood, bohind Re publican laws stand the negro with his demands to rule. We had a long period of quiet in the State till in the vicissitudes of national existence times got hard and the farmers were oppressed through low prices of their products. The Populist party sprang into existence on the conception, honestly entertained, that the remedy .was in more money. Against Democratic protest they fused with the Re publican party which is largely negro, not believing it would be attended with its same results of nogro rule in the '60' s, but it was. However unwilling the white fusionists to obey, the negro stood ready to hurl them out of office at the next election if they did not turn out a one-legged Confederate door-keeper at the capitol for a negro and put mgro men in among white lady clerks. It was then that white women were insulted by negro men on the streets of Wilmingtou and pushed off the sidewalks by ne gro women. i Negro magistrates arraigned white women and negro police men and jurors turned loose criminals that were not even bailable before the law. The crisis was foreseen and white men of all ranks bought pistols and guns and every white woman was instructed where to hasten for safety when the crisis came, where a guard would be thrown around her. At last a shot is fired and a white man lios weltering in his own blood. In the shortest kind of time 11 negroes lie dead and 50 more are wounded. But the government changes, peace and safety re'ign in Wilmington. Here as the speaker told of the call to Goldsboro for help he grew burning in his eloquence and tears marked the swelling emotions of sympathetic listen ers. It was grand indeed. The speaker maintained that no government can be wiser or better than tho pverago of tho party bohind it, as those in stances fully demonstrate. Tho amendment was his groat theme. He declared that it was a scheme, by which a noble peo ple may meet the evils of the 15th amendment, that is beauti ful as an 18-yoar-old girl. It starts by saying that after 1902 no man shall vote unless he can read and write, which 's con stitutional beyond a question, but it does not stop there, but excepts those who could vote on Jan. 1, 1867, or before and all lineal descendants of those who could, This gives every white man tho right to vote, and also some negroes, but it cuts out 75,000 of them and gives the government into the hands of th virtue and the intelligence of the State. Some Republican said the poll tax clause would disfranchise poor old Confederate soldiers. They are all poll tax free, said he, and the men too poor and afflicted to pay poll tax can be exempted by the county commis sioners. Boys now 13 and under must learn to read and write in order to vote, but that is easy, and he pledged the best energies of his administration to the en largement of schools and all ed ucational facilities. He would open the Bible to every boy and girl in the land with all its lessons of wisdom, knowledge, power, grace find hope. He defended the election law as a means t the great end of government by the only class fit to govern this great State and contrasted it with the fusion law wito all its monstrous abuses. He was not surprised that those who mado the old are not pleased with the new. A threatened storm throw ner vousness into the audience that would gladly have listened to him for hours under other cir cumstances, and ho had to cut off the closing and choicest flights of his matchless oratory, but truly it was enough, a feast to the fill for a delighted audi ence and a tax on his splendid voice against a brisk broezo. Our people went to their homes feeling that we have in Charles B Aycock a champion of all that's chaste, pure, lovely, he roic and progressive, and are enthused and determined. Gotten Bloom From Chuckatuck. Well the third iu the series of cotton blossoms comes from Chuckatuck, the rural homo of Prof. J P Cook. The blossom had dropped when found on account of which, probably, his eye did not catch it while trekking over the cotton rows bare-footed with a-trundle wagon on the 26th call ing up the days of -yore. It was sent in since he left. Death From Whooping Coagh. The child of Mr. and Mrs. Tebe Hagler, of Cannonville, died Wednesday, from the effect of whooping cough. It was about 10 mouths old. It was buried today (Wednesday) at 9 o'clock at Rocky River church. Saved the Excursionists. A Birmingham dispatch of the 2Cth says that two daughters of Isaac Ledendorf who lives near a culvert on the road from Co lumbus, Miss., to Birmingham saved an excursion train by dashing through the rain to a station a mile away and giving the alarm that the culvert was giving away. There was a little delay of the excursionists in stead of what . might so easily have been another horror. . Prlsaners Uracil St. Helena. Jamestown, St. Helena, June 27. Sarel Eloff, President Kru ger's grandson, who was cap tured by tho British at Mafe king, landed here today with eleven officers and ninety-eight troopors, mostly foreigners. The prisoners, who wore clean and of respectable appearance, were immediately sent on to Doadwood, the prison camp. Most of the Boors at Deadwood are in good health and thus far there has been but ono death from enteric fever. Nine Leaden Take the Oath of llla'l anee. Manila, June 27. Nine of the insurgent leaders, including Generals Pio del Pilar, Cou cepcion, Garcia and Alvarez, were released here today, upon taking the oath of allegiance to the government and renouncing all forms of revolution in tho Philippines. Its Work Made Easy. The Greensboro Patriot in a little vein of humor says: "The ticket makers a Kansas City next week will please take notice that our first choice for vice-president is is John W Daniel, of Virginia, with D B Hill a clese socond. Knowing our wishes in the matter, the convention's work will practi cally be light, as Bryan's nomi nation is already assurred. 1 WORKING MEN ARE AD DRESSED. Messrs. Ben Lacy and Frank McMnch Address the Cannonville I'cople Tbe Wronir of Neirro Enfranchisement, Its Methods and Effects The Aaiend. nient the Remedy. Mr. B R Lacy addrossed a fairly good sized crowd at the graded school houso at Cannon ville Thursday night. Imperfect arrangement aud lack of under standing as to where the speak ing would be held may have pre vented the attendance of many. Mr. Lacy is not of course a trained orator, but a trained la borer and bank cashier, but he is boiling over with enthusiasm for the interests of labor, not in op position to capital, for in his Forest Hill speech he dwelled with emphasis on the mutual de pendence of labor and capital, declaring that anything that militates against capital makes it shy of in vestment and drives it into hiding auc' the laboring man is lirst to suffer from it. Tho speaker is a strong advo cate of educational advantages far beyond those enjoyed by him self. He is a most ardeut advo cate of the constitutional amend ment. He emphasizes that while wt intend to disfranchise the illit erate negro and not tho illiterate white man, wo do it not from ill or resentful purpose's because of natural distinctions, such as color or previous conditions, but because tho effects of his en franchisement is bad on every class of citizens, while the., illit erate white man exercises his privilego of voting with consid eration and with safety. Ho illustrates tho difference between tho two races in defend ing the Democratic party against the charge of broken pledges. Chairmau Simmons, the shrewdest and best director of a campaign within the party, did in 1898 declare that there would be no effort to disfranchise any body. But Mr. Simmons casts but ono vote. Mr. Holton cast6 the entire 120,000 negro votes. He could speak aud make all the campaign promises ho pleased and fulfill every ono, but not so with Mr. Simmons. Tho white Democracy of North Carolina knows no bosses and exercises its own judgment without being bound by anybody's predictions or promises. Hence Democrats demanded the settlement of this political race quostion and the amendment is the result. ' The speaker touched on the well known but ridiculous fact that when the Canby constitu tion was voted upon, many white men were disfranchised and the negro voted to allow lumself the privilege of voting. U'1 thanked tho Concord band for iis excellent music and for the special courtesy of following him Kit li nights with their cheer ing bi'in'lits. Mr. Frank McNinch, of Char lotte, followed in clear, strong and inspiring spreeh. Ho felt that whatever of sacrifice it costs it is the duty of a patriot to come when railed, as ho was by 'phone Thursday, to lend any aid within his power in this great cause. Ho rehearsed from a legal standpoint tho enfranchisement of the negro. The act was passed in Congress while eleven of the S6ulhern States were ex cluded and therefore the art was not passed in Congress by tho necessary roust itutional vote. Then 22,000 of our best white men wero disfranchised and all the negroes allowed to vote on tho constitution that gave them tho right to vote. This voting was extended for three days with no one responsible for tho sa cred keeping of these ballot boxes. Instead, too, of counting tho votes in the presence ot re sponsible men of the opposing parties, these boxes were carried to Charleston and from there Gen. Canby declared the consti tution adopted. This procedure would not stand tho test of any ordinary contested office. Ho rehearsod the Wilmington riot and other painful fruits of the late nogro domination in cluding the turning out of a one armod Confederate soldier as if IB ACT doorkeeper of the capitol to give the place to a big, able-bodied, offensive negro, Abo Middle ton. He reminded the audience too that that fusion legislature ad journed in honor of Fred Doug las but would not thus honor the memory of Gen. R E Lee. He was not the most compli mentary to Republican leaders who are trying by every false plea to perpetuate this strife in the State. He declared that our amend ment is not a new experiment, Knf. rlaf it. ta in rmaim firm in T .r,ll . . . . , , ,ibea rod letter day in Concord lsiana and that it has reduced! ' the negro vote from overwhelm ing numbers to a sum so small that it is harmless, while the white vote increased materially under its stimulating effects. The speaker aroused a good degree of enthusiasm, but the lateness of tho hour made it nec essary to be brief. Cannonville will be heard from on election day as up in the frout ranks of white supremacy. jnOVINU OUT OF FEKIS. Foreign Ministers Leave China's Capital Cndi-r Excort- What Does It Meant Seymour Probably Rescued. A Washington dispatch of the 27th says that the Chinese min ister reports to the administra tion that all foreign ministers are leaving Pekin under escort by Chinese guards. It furnishes relief for the safety of the diplo mats but the full meaning is not well understood. If expelled it is practically a declaration of war. If sent out as a safety pre caution it admits the inability to protect life and justifies the hastening of troops to the rescue. It is believed from dispatches that 2,300 men sent to drive out tho Boxers at Tien Tsin have pushed on and recused vice Admiral Soymour in the midst of a distressing crisis in which he would have soon boon forced to yield. It is said that he lost. 03 uieu killed and 200 wounded. KOTES FROM GLASS. Batch of Xewsy items From the Land of Transparency by our Appreciable Cor respondent.

LENTZ DEA1 Yielded Life Just One Month From Her Husband's Death Setenty- Three Years Old Wat Without an Enemy. Mrs. E D Lentz died at her home near Mt. Pleasant at 2:30 p. m. Friday, the 29th. "This news is not unoxpected but on the contrary it has been marvelous that the feeble lamp of life held out so long. For probably 15 years she was an invalid, destined to sue cum b to the stoaitny march of that fatal malady consumption. During all this time her life seemed on the last expiring stage. The tender care of her husband was beautiful to look upon. Just one month ago on May the 29th he who was her stay and fully expected soon to do kindness to her memory instead of ministering to her person was found in the sleep of death. The shock would have seemed suffi cient to loose the silver cord of life, but the golden bowl was only broken as above stated. The deceased's maiden name was Miss Barbara Shaver. Her wedded life was blessed but once with motherhood and she was soon deprived by death of this single offspring. In her manner of life she was modest and unassuming, gentle and kind and so inoffensive in her characteristics that the writer would designate her as the one above all others whom he ever knew that lived and died without an enemy and in the confidence and esteem of all who ever know her. She had attained to the ago of about 73 years. She was a member of tho E. L. church and her burial will be by the side of her late deceased husband on Sunday July 1st at Piney Wood church in Rowan county. Daily of June 30. Handsome Specimen of German Millet. Mr. G T Crowell has a plot of ground back of his mill of nearly an acre that has an immensely heavy crop of German millet. It is interesting to look at. Ho furnished to the Standard a sam ple now just out in heads, not in bloom. The stalk measures 56 inches above the roots. He cannot speak for this cereal as a profitable crop above many others, but this is unquestionably a paying sample. Triplet Sisters. We learn from Dr. Smoot that Mrs. J E Lowder on Friday night bore to her husband triplet girls. We are sorry to learn that one did not come to mature life but the other two gladden the homo. The three wore well matured, two weighing 7 pounds each and the other 8 pounds. It would have been of pleasing interests to the community if these parents could have reared their anomalous offspring and they have our sympathy as well as our congratulations. THE TEI.El'H()N(J'l!Ar;i. An Invention to Record Suiitid.4 V. hen Llsteuer is Sot Frcscnt. The telephonograph is a new invention which comes to us from Denmark. No! quite for the first time, for we had heard of it about a year ago; si'icothen, though the inventors have mado progress. The telephonograph is a combination of the telephone with a newly constructed phon ograph, which make it possible to fix and preserve conversations in the absence of tho intended hearer, so that he can listen to the message after his return. But the importance of the inven tion reaches much further. Through the uso of magneto phonography it is possible to multiply the effect of tho sound and to give the sound greater force.
