OUR VF.RltlTY ASSAILED.
We try our utmost to be truthful
(give in a vein of humor some times)
we also are very desirous of be
ing; accommodating to oar citizjce
(e?en though they be not subscribers
is The Standard) in withholding
new that is not essential to public
iatereat when from good reason we
are requested to do so, but we aek
thtt too much be not expected of us
and teat we be spared the provok.
ixigaess of reflecting on our veracity
Whes. our rights, our motives and

ous construction of our acts .

In this we'have reference to the
ftct that on last Saturday morning
Rv.5 J Payseur, chairman of the
city school board, came into oar
ofllceg&d asked the senior editor to
ij nothing in the paper with res
gcrd to the teachers and the graded
scf&eol etG , that day. We understood
it to refer to editorial or local notice
c the affairs and we readily gave
ar consent and oar promise. Liter
uv t&e day the secretary of the board,
L Miller, placed in the hands
o the city editor a notice to teachers
ft file their applications etc, (as
sated in Saturday's isaue) over his
official signature. When we saw the
notice in proof (they were repeated
in. our local column) we did not
fELick for a moment that there was
caything wrone: in their being there
or that the promise we had made
w&s to forestall the publication of
im act regularly passed in the board
ai made the duty of the clerk to
publish. We would have been very
fir irom making a promise to thwart
the action of the board and we do
pal understand that we violated our
premise as made or that we did
wrong in publishing Mr. Miller's
notice as it appeared, yet the chair
man saw fit to attack us with the
eh&rge of infidelity to our promise
and will accept no other construc
tion of our course. We repeat that
ne nops too much will not be a9ked

Mr. Payseur wore a contemptous

this matter bat we have a
reputation for veracity of which we
feel honorably jaalous. We; can tot
conceive who ia wronged in the pub
lication of the notice referred to and
therefore thirik it the leaa excusable
in Mr. Payseur to ruthlessly inflict

MORE MUMF1CEMIE BY 51 It. DUKE.
And now we see that Mr. W Duke
has giyen an extra $5,000 to be spent
on Trinity College grounds. This
on top of the $100,000 gift shows
the pleasure there is in giving.
We rejoice to see such munificent
gifts and we praise the giverj but we
doubt very much if humanity would
not be the better without the whole
tobacco business by which the
habits, very unfortunate we think,
are made to congest great heaps of
wealth to a few spots while through
this tobacco habit ignorance, poverty
and squalor are bo much augmented
over the land .
We would like to be wealthy ana
bestow laige earns on favorite and
noble cauaes, but we are content to
labor on in frugal straits with little
to enjoy or to bestow rather than
gain desired wealth from an enter
prise that we believe is really a
curse. We have no condemnation,
however, for those who take a less
Birious view of it than we and when
so gathered it is well that jsach
wealth is liberally bestowed on such
institutions.
HOBSOJK'M INHERITED BRAVERY.
' Good blood will show itself' is a
truim and Lieutenant Hobson's
heroic feat, grand and unique as it
is, is the less surprising when his
mother's noble dignity is reyealed by
I the following story. When her ecn
by his cbmlric deed, made the
name Hobson stand forth among
names as a star of first magnitude
amid the pale clusters of the milky
way it was observed that there is a
mortgage on her home. A movement
was inaugurated af once to reise the
money by subscription and relieve her
of the debt.
The movement was of the most
generous impulse but the brave
mother of that brave eon declines to
accept any public contributions and
eases the public mind by stating
that the indebtedness is not much
and that she will be able to meet it.
N j wonder that that son is brave
and noble, "
Charlotte is now pulling for the
State mobilization camp She has
strong claims and we do not see why
she should not have it. If the war

Lieutenant Colonel Owens.
In regard to Mr. Geo. W Means'
regiment of moonshiners, which is
being organized, the Shelby! Star

make :
"We respectfull present the name
of Col. Amos Owens, the famous
Cherry Mountain moonshiner, for
lieutenant colonel of the regiment
and our claim is based on "senior

! ihe rroermlwe Farmer Iled
A friend sends ua thr following
from the last issue of the Progress
ive Farmer, with the qKry, ';Is this
true?" '
The clipping is as follows
VV have it from the lips of an
attorney fo; the Southern Railroad
Company, that, 33 out of the 36
members of the new State commits
tee of the' so-ailled Democratic
party, are lawyers, and that 6 of
these are paid attorneys tor me
Southern Railway Company."
No, it is not true. It does not
approach the truth. It was known
to be untrue when published, and
was pubU8hd because it was not
the truth. But it is by such false
hoods, however, that the Farmer
and Caucasian hope to deceive hon
est people, deceive them to their
own hurt, that the falsifiers may
continue to fatten at the publio
crib. Raleigh Pest.

English suitor, Sortoris. He proved
a scamp and Nellie cot a divorce.

fojght in the Confederate war, and
is the last surviving officer on the
staff of lStonewah'7 Jackson. He
is now Gen. Henry Kyd Douglas, U.

they are to be married in the fall .
