CONCORD. JULY 1 1897.
GLORY CALb.
No better index to ,hat chiyalric
spirit and that national pride that
is essential to the perpetuation of
freedom with all the train of bless -inga
attending: can well exist than
that veneration in which thsi people
hold the names, jthe deeds and the
spots involving daring.heroism for
peace, safety and happiness around
the domestic' hearthstone.
The present is a period marked
for the revival of commendable
pride in these centres of glory.
The battlefield of Guilford! Court
taadasft
House has been suitably marked ;
ithe battlefield of Moore's i Creek
Bridge is now owned by the State
and will be appropriately marked
and beautified, we hope. Newton
17 ill soon erect a' grand monument
to the memory, of j Capt. Barringer's
, pitriots that fell in Indian ambnsb.
' and Mecklenburg is moying to erect
a grand monument to the memory
of the signers of that memorable
declaration of independence which is
i n itself a monument to the glory of
North Carolina' heroism tnat eyen
entitles Tar Heels to the privilege of
disturbing a national assembly.
While Cabarrus holds a common
interest in all the historic glory of
"the Old North State she has one
spot peculiarly her own jem of
sparkling brilliancy in the State's
coronal. I
This is the spot around which
cluster the memories of "The Gun
z Powder Plot," and will for all time
keep us proud of che name "Black
Boys of Cabarrus. "
Shall we not "do ourselves proud"
by suitably marking this spot, that
, generations to come may share' with
. "I : ) .
us as we share with a noble ancestry
in the knowledge of that, our Glory
Spot. iL: ' : :'
The Standard has been asked to
place this matter j before the people,
a ftaak eminently congenial 1 1 to its
i own liking. I
.. . As an assurance of earnestness
and. a nucleus to a fund for the pur
v pose, ten dollars is offered by one
individual. - I
If this movement meets with favor
and a hearty response; which we
think it surely will, we desire the
names of a cluster' of, say at least a
half dozen, citizens of either or both
sexes who will confer with us in
designating a time and place which
The Standard willgUdly call for
the purpose of organizing, that suita
ble committees may be appointed
for arranging entertainment, solicit
ing contributions, Escunng plot of
ground and of determining the
nature and the extent of commemo
rative marks.
Plesse let na hear promptly from
those whose hearts moye them in,
this matter. t

order remains in force : -
A Mosquito Story From Georgia,
I heard a story the other day. I
thint it will beat the Mulberry cor
respondent's war story. A man
said that mosquitoes were so bad in
tbe piney woods that the people had
to use a wasbpot, turned bottom
upwards oyer their heads to keep
them from pulling their hair out,
and then they got so bad that they
would stick their bills through the
washpot, and he took his hammer
and clinched their bills, on the. in
side until there were so many they
flew off with his pot, and he had not
heard! from it since. Come again.
Monroe (GaM) Messenger.
"Though our world has been de
faced by the blighting, influence of
sin, there is still left much that is
beautiful. We see it in the first
golden flashes of morning, in the
matured strength of meridian day,
in the subdued i glow of evening;
and then, slowly sinking down the
western way, glide the rich banners
of descending day, and night, wijth
crescent diadem; lights- her starry
chandelier, and trails her robe of
blazing jewels through the sky." !
Thus discourses Col. Jim Robin
sou, ol the Durham Sun. We dis
like to: break into this strain with!
an unparliamentary suggestion, but
we are constrained to say that if
Col. Robinson saw all those things
he writes about, it is -more than
probable; that the morning there
after he had a dark brown taste
in his mouth and his head felt sev
eral sizes too largel States ville

This condition of weakness and
