Concord, stopping over at High
Point to see a sicfc friend and pro
ceeding on the journey Wednesday
morning.
When Concord was cached there
stood the street car with its dummy
. engine, read? to transfer passengers
into the town a mile away. A great
convenience that. Taking a seat
accompanied by our p51ite and ac
commodating friend,BJ P Cook, edi
tol of the Standard", we were whirled
along to the point of destination
whicn was the home of our long
time friend, Capt J M Odell, who
was at-home at the time though of
course, exceedingly busy, as his son
Mr. Wijl R Odell, waa absent in
New York.
The two nights of our stay in
Concord were spent at the home of
Mr. E W Allison, an intelligent and
remarkably well preserved gentle
man of 83 years. Mr. Allison was
a merchant in former years, and was
a member of the State' Convention
of 1875. He has been a reader of
the best English authors, both in
poetry and prose, and has a number
of fine quotations at hia fingers' ends
His conversation on literary subjects
and on matters of history was re
markably entertaining as well
as
edifying to the listener. An
acquaintance with the best English
authors never fails to mark the
man who has enjoyed that privilege
Mr. Allison spoke of being in the
capitol at Richmond in 1829, and of
seeing in that body Messrs. Madison
and Monroe, the late distinguisned
Benjamin Watkins Leigh and the
eccentric John Randolph, of Roau
oke. Mr. Allison also rememhered
distinctly the discussion between
Judge A W Tourgee, Rev. Biggs
Hsssell and others on the motion to
remove the political disabilities o
the late Gov. nolden, . in the Con
vention of 1875.
$ It is always pleasing to converse
with our aged citizens, and espec
ially when they have cultivated
minds, and memories well stored
with the facts of our State history,
as is the case with Mr. Allison.
When this writer had taken
a
deliberate vfew of the vast buildings
appropriated to the manufacture o
cotton goods, on what is kifown as
"Forest Hill," bad measured the 36
feet front of one of the. recently
constructed buildings whose tnachm
ery is driven by a 500 hone pewer
engine, he was reminded of Machin
ery Hall at the Centennial of 1876,
and concluded not to undertake any
description in the narrow limit3 of
the Workman.
m We saw a number of gentlemen
connected in various ways with one
or other of the factories, as Mr.
Wheeler, of Salisbury, Mr. Bynum,
of Chatham, and Mr. C T. Troy and
Mr. Coltrane. of Randolph. These
men were all busy, a3 a n
course, each one contributing more
or less to theiucces3 of the iuterest
with which he i3 connected.
To hasten this writer was much
pleaed with Mrs. Capt. Odell, and
is indebted to her for many kind
nesses shown. Other matters of
note must be omitted for the pres-
Old Wo. Michaux spent a few
j days herte and above is some thing3

Mr Editor: Your account of
he railroad election in yesterday's
issue is in error as to calculating the
majority in favor of the question, it I
should stand in the wards respect
ively as follows :

Respectfully Submitted,
Inspector.
The Standardhas its own way of
calculating the majority. If "In
spector" will think a little, he'll see
that he is wrong. By very dint of
the requirement of the majority to
carry the measure, all those who did
not vote are counted against the
measure. Counting the votes polled
and not polled the majority is 216,
but that is not the question. "In
spector" knows that 281 ballots
were required to even put the mea3
jure "in the ring" and all votes cast
above that is simply a majority.
There might be 5000 voters in Con
cord, and two men run for mayor,
one getting 389 votes and the other
173 in that case only about one
tenth voted, but the first man was
elected and by a majority of 216. It
is different in the railroad question.
It was not possible for an election
until the measure received 281 votes
and all votes above that amount are
simply complimentary or "majorU
mentary," if you allow ne to coin a
word. For the measure to have se
cured a majority of 216, there would
be required 497 ballots instead of
389. Inspector, you are wrong.

The Review hears a pretty good
one on Statesville. It is sajd that
a mysterious individual had been
in that place for a month and no
one knew his business. As usual in
such small places, the stranger's ap-
pearance and his business were ex
tensively talked about until curiosity
reached fever heat. Finally a citi
zen approachedhim and flatly asked
him his business there.
"I'll be candid with you," replied
the mysterious individual, "I was
living in California and yielded to
temtaption and stole a sawmill. The
next night I went back to steal the
dam, but was caught; I was tried,
conyicted sentenced to five years in
the penetentiary, or thirty days in
Statesvilfe, and I was - fool
erfbugh to take the thirty days in
Statesville."
It afterwards transpired that he
was a detective hunting up someono
to convict of wrecking the train at
Bostian's bridge.
A Clandestine Wedding: In nhe Wood.
Jackson, Miss., April 20. M J
Harta well known young Hebrew
of this place, and May McArdle, a
devout Catholic, were clandestinely
married ten days ago, a magistrate
pronouncing the ceremony in Jhe
woods. Bride and bridegroom have
continued to live at their respective
homes, and the marriage was kept a
profound secret until it leaked Ojt
today. When the bride learned that
the fact of the wedding had got into
print she fainted. The'relatives of
both are greatly exercised.

THE SALEM PRESS SOLD.

Bny the Entire Plant.
' T
Messrs. C E Crist and and G L
Keehln have purchased the entire
plant of the Salem Press, including
the 'Almanac, from Messrs. LV &
E T Blum. The price paid for the
property is not learned, but it is safe
to say that it required several thou
sand dollars to make the transfer.
The new proprietors will take
charge next Monday. They will
continue the publication of the
Press, which by the way has been
conducted under the same manage,
ment for a longer period than any
newspaper iu the State.
Messrs. Crist and Keehln are en
terprising arfd deserving young men
and they have the very best wishes
of the Sentinel .for their future
success.

At the Friday afternoon session
of the Baptist State Sunday School
Convention, President Winston, of
the University, was present. He
was called upon to address the cons
vention but asked to be excused.
Several members of the convention
insisted that Mr. Winston make a
few remarks, and he addresed the
convention briefly. Among other
thingG he said that he did not attend
Sunday school himself and did not
believe in forcing children to attend
Sunday school or in using compul
sion in anything. He said that he
had one boy who attended Sunday
school and another who did not,
both following their own inclina
tions.
This was not very enthusiastically
received and there was much quiet
talk about it among the delegates,
though nothing was said about the
remarks iu the convention.
' . Dr. RomiLger, of Reidsville, who
was president of the convention,
addressed Broad Street Sunday
School Sunday morning. In the
course of his remarks Dr. Rominger
alluded to what the president had
said in the convention and toak the
ground that, holding such views as
he expressed, he was not worthy of
the high position of president of. the
University and the educational leadN
er of the State.
