CONCORD, OCT. 11, 1895.
OUR COTTON CROP.
Riga t plumb in a holt! Tho
printer escapes this time without the
103S of an eje or a tooth.
Some years ago when lamenting
iovsr a great mistake in an item of
aewe, Mr. R S Harris (one of the
county's brightest men) consoled
U3 by saying; "Don't mind; you
can correct tomorrow, thus getting
an item without looking yourself
blind or running your legs off,"
The Standard's cotton item in
-Thursday's issue was pretty badly
-off. But unlike the New Yoik ISun,
-we have never said "if you see it in
The Standard it's so." Five
times 12,000 is 60,000 etc., is correct,
but $G0,000 i3 not the value of
l,00xV les of cotton at five cents
par p. 1. That's the way we had it.
We seat ourselves to make the
correction;
Cabarrus' cotton crop of 1894 was
,12,000 500 pound bales or 6,000,000
. Dounds wLuiih at 5 cents waaworth
300,000. The crop of 1895 is esti
mated it 8,000 500 pound bales, or
4,000,000 pounds, which at8 cents
will be worth $350,000.
The difference then is $50f000
and not $10,000, as we had it.
When a person spends year in and
jear out handling just a few dimes
and quarters and an occasional
"dollar of his daddy," it makes him
dizzy v hen he goes to figuring into
the thousands.

IN THE WRONG BED
A Stfttesyllle Man Awakes te Find

; Mr. O A Withers lives in the
eastern part of the city. Last night
he sent his" two young eons upstajrs
to bed. They came running down in
a few minutes saying that there was
a man up there in bed. Mr. With
ers said he reckoned not, -but went
up to see. The room was dark, ana
running bis hand oyer the bed, he
iound that the boys were right. He
went back down stairs and told Mr.
Albert Williamson, who was waiting
to hear if the story was true, and to
gether they went up to ' interview
the stranger. Mr. Williamson shook
him and eaid ;
"Pardener, ain't you in the wrong
place?" "
No answer. The intruder was
steeping the sleep of jast, Mr,
Williamson shook him again and
again, and finally j.ot him to open
his eyes. He repeated his qaestion
as to his being in the wron? place.
The fellow looked up and said : "No
I guees iiot."
"Where do you think 70U are ?:
s asked Mr. William.
"In Statesville," was the answer
"How did you get in?" he was
asked.
"Through tho window," was the
Jialfoawake ansver.
"Zou are not in Statesville," said
Mr. Williamson, "but in Charlotte.
Do you know any one here?"
The fellow rojsel up, and looked
around him, seeming mure and more
surprised as the unfamiliar snr
roundings dawned upon him He fin
ally said that, his name was McDon
ald, He and his father ha&comedown
yesterday and were stopping at Mrs.
Bell's, (next door . to Mr. Withers)
and he had stumbled into the wrong
house. He was taken down stairs
and directed by Messrs. Withers and
Williamson to Mrs. Bell's. Uhar

family have used this medicine when
needed, and we are all in the best of
health, a fact which we attribute to
Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I believe my chil-,
