CONCORD, N. C, D EG. 13,-1898.
COUNT IT AJLj.
"We protest that in taking the
weight .of a hog everything should
be weighed that is of value for
culinary purposes. Why should
not the lard on the entrails be
counted the same as the lard that
you strip off the inside of the j
middlings? The Moreanton Herald
scores a weight ot 701 pounds, in
cluding 42 pounds of entrail lard.
The pudding material is also legi
timate weight and, we think, is
generally counted to get high
fi . It is legitimately a part of
tli , :od enough to et and of
c: 'mh od enough to weigh and
bl xit. ' Mr. Smiths bigger
pc - ve doubt not, J contained
640 or 650 pounds of good hog.
The record of the pat two years
at the Noith Carolina insane asy
lum at Raleigh is -most creditable.
During that period there were
372 additions and 224 patients
were discharged as cured. The
death rate was only 4J per cent,
while the average in the asylums
in the United States is 8 per cent
While in 1893-94 the cost per
capita of patients was $192.80, it
is now only $142. The number of
patients is at present 400, an in
crease of 100 in the two years.
This is one of the institutions

management is due in no small de

The Atlanta Peace Jubilee.
The word "Peace" may now be
reinstated in the name of the
grand meeting in Atlanta Wednes-:
day and Thursday, the 14th and
r - - - ...
15th. Fearing that the peace
commission would eventually, fail
the President had sug ested to
leave out the word peace, and it
;was determined to call it tne At
lanta Jubilee. The treaty being
-signed with every confidence in
its ratification the word can M. be
restored. The program is com
plete and there is every prospect
of. a nuccessful celebration. Pres
ident McKinley will speak Thurs
day at 3 p. m.
We are indebted to Mr. H 0
tloon, from "The State of Wilkes,"
for a paper bag of fine limbertwig
apples. They have " the genuine
flavor, though Mr. Coon feared
they would be a bit sour growing
in Republican dirt. Mr. Coon is
a staunch Democrat, however,
reads and pays for The Standard
and says he was boiling oyer to
attend our barbecue, but could not
Ar rii. He reioices with the

d in, CnbaSnnday .morning and
marched through the streets of
Havana: amid:;tha. joyful . expr esr
sions of the citizens. Men cr sped
each oer..in exultation, women
wept for joy and children followed
bestowing endearing names on
our gallant troops. They got to
camp Marianao, 7 miles beyond
the city, about 11 o'clock, where
they are comfortably fixed and
tairly happy.
The Governor In Washington. .
Gov. Russell went to Washing
ton last week. He failed to get
an audience with the President
Saturday, but succeeded Monday.
His mission seems to have been
largely a failure. He wanted, it
is said, to secure the discharge of
certain North . Carolina soldiers
and toVet the $30000 for equip
ping our State troops. The pay
ment of the bill,' however, seems
fyuite improbable. t The govern-
raentthas .raked up. an old bill
' ain8our; aa num?er ol
other Southern States, and it is
proposed to credit the $30,000.
An Excitement Hut Vio Damage.
There was somwlitit of an ex
citement on Wetit Depot street
this afternoon when a double
te wu, with only a small negro boy
in the wagon, went toward the
depot at a lively rate. After pass
ing Scotia Seminary a short dis
tance the wagon collided with
another one. No damage scarce
ly was done, and the little negro
seemed unconcerned about the
matter. A lady on the wagon
coming slowly , up the street re
alizing that there was yoinz to be
a collision, jumped before the two
conveyances collided.
Beats the Klondike.
Mr. A C Thomas, of Marysville
Tex., has found a more valuable
discovery .than .has yet -been made
in the Klondike. For years he suf
fered untold agony from consump
tion, accompanied by hemorrhages;
and was absolutely cured by Dr,
King's New Discovery for Con
sumptioni Coughs and X Colds. He
declares that gold is of little value
in comparison with this- marvelous
cure; would have it, even if it cost
alhundred dollars a bottle. Asthma,
Bronchitis and all tbroat and lung
affections are positively cured by
Dr. King's New Discovery for Con
sumption. Trial bottles free at P h
Fetzer's drug store. Regular size 50
cents and $1.00. Guaranteed to
cure or price refunded.
Farming: Pays Some People.
Mr. S Banks Holt, of Graham,
Alamance county, N. C, says he
finds that farming pays fully as
well as manufacturing does. This
year he made something over
9,000 bushels ot wheat .and oats,
130 tons of hay, and he will make
at least 1,500 bushels of corn..
He raised this year more than
2,000 chickens, ducks and tur
keys. Southern Field. f

Stuck In the Mud.
The big' battleship Massachu
setts ran aground in New York
harbor last Saturday, sustaining
sharp damage to her be ttom. She
will have to go in dock for re
pairs. The accident is charged to
low tide.
The annual commerce of the
world is estimated at seventeen bil
lion dollars, and of ..this great
amount America is interested to the
extent of eleven per cent., or in
round numbers, one billion, eigh
teen million dollars. From 1886 to
1896 the increase of exports for
twenty-two leading - countries was
twenty per cent. During this time
the exports of the United States in
creased thirty, per cent. By this it is
clear that the United States , is to
day the most prosperous country in
the world. The Commonwealth.
