Dr. Caldwell and l'iiu t;tt oriu 1IH-Ii
on an Abslrus l'hllologieal Iucm
Hon of Loeal and Uvluj; luteicst,
Ifti. Editor :-iThe following
paragraph from Dr. Caldwell's
Charlotte Chronicle appeared in the
Standard, yesferday, and I reproduce
it here for the purpose of offering a
few cursory observations on it :
We deplore having to call the edi
tor o the Concord Standard don,
especially so ' seeing that he is an
ex-echool teacher, and wears glasses,
tfut his use of the word "foment" .in
his paper Saturday cannot be allow
ed to go unchallengetf. He doubtless
meant ferrftnst.
It is always moreor less painful
to be called ,down, even. wlen we are
capable of staying up as .long as it
suits us, but it is stillmore unpleas
ant to be called down and have to
come. In a choice of evils one is
supposed to choose the lesser and I
can not immagine why, in this in
stance; you did'not take the usual
coujse and stay up, for you were cer
tainly under no.obligation to come
down even with the timely assistance
of the intelligent compositor.
Your use of 'ffernent" can be at
tributed to the fact of your German
descent, just as Dr. Caldwell's choice
of "ferninst" can be accounted for on
the grounds of his Irish extraction.
A3 neither of the words !s English,
by nature or practice, it would appear
tha Ju have forfeited none of your
honors as an ex-school teacher, and
there seems to be no reason why yon
should not. continue to wear your
glasses without a single compunction
of conscience. .
Had you followed your grandfath
er's orthography and written it"ver
i;eiiit" your use of the word would
have had the sanction of the best
(icrnian aut' oritie:?. The history of
the word's degeneration might be
br?eily written thus: German ver
neint, English fernent, Ifish fei
ninst. You pay your money and
you take your choice.

The EaJeigh Observer gives this
romantic news: Mr. J 15 Bcdding-
field, of the Southern Express corns
pany here, went to Richmond a day
or two since, and on his return
brought Mrs. Beddingfield back
vith him. He wa3 quietly married
here to Miss Laura Taylor, sister of
Mrs. .Geo. II Glass, of this city, on
the 9th of last December, but the
romantic marriage was kept a secret
till a day or two since. Mrs. ,Bed-f
dingfield has bqpn at her home in
Richmond since the marriage. The
episode has created a pleasant sur
prise all ar5und.

Greensboro CrawOshed.
The (J'reensboro people who want
ed to get the Colored Agricultural
and Mechanical College -located
there did not comply with the'terms
of their original agreement. Last
October tho board met and accepted
the proposition, which was to ,give
25 acres of land and $15,000; of this
amount $8,000 being payable in cash
January 1, 1892, and $7,000 in June
1893. Monday the executive com
mittee met in Raleigh and Greens
boro's representative appeared be-;
fore it and offered 8,000 in good
notes. He also took a new proposi
tion, that Greensboro wished the
original amount $15,000, reduced to
$10,000. The executive committee
did not think it had.any right to act
on any such proposition, but desired
the full board to consider it.
Senutor Vance llroke Down.
In tho Senate yesterday, while
Mr. Pugh was speaking to the ma-
ority report in favor of seating
Dubois, the chair of Senator Vance,
who was seated near him, broke
down, letting tho North Carolina
Senator fall to tho floor with some
force and much noise. As M,r.
Vance picked himself up, apparent
ly unhurt, ho paid (with a laugh)f
"I bog your pardon for interrupting
you," to wLich Mr. Tush re joined
