Pleasant and under adverse cir cumstances I did what I could. Now it appears, from state xneiits made to you at.d indirectly ; to me, by parties from behind tne scenes, that I erred in what I wrote about the meeting of the Board of Trustees ;( of North Carolina College, on Tuesday last. It is human tjo err, but it is divine or something else for those who personally know to correct the error and not seek a contrary statement through the kindness and goodness of an editor ,whp was farther aay from the, scenes than, his correspondent. I do feel called upon to explain but not to withdraw my communica tion, appearing in your" paper of Wednesday last. If my. explana tion does not prove satisfactory to these complaining, why let them point out the errors over their own signature?, and not pl-iift the responsibility to your shou'ders. Your columns are open, I am sure, to any one who desires to shape public opinion properly, correct real and sup posed errors or record history. Ererybody desires to be corrected but he wants it to come from the arcneved it looks better, tastes better and has a much better effect, and then we all know "who is who." ; In ord.er.to make clear what I purposed to convey in my corn- mnnication in Wednesday's Standard, (but want of time pre venting .' a reading of same after being hastily and rapidly written and thus appearing more sweeping than I intended) I wish, to intro duce here the article in question and explain ; .. "While the board recognized that Synod had no power to take the action relative to the removal of the college; and tho1 appreciat ing the matter was not referred to them (the only place where Synod can make recommenda tions), the Board took occasion to emphatically express its dis approval of the course of Synod in regard to the college, and thus ends all the removal, agitation. It lis clearly demonstrated that the Bo&rd, in its official capacity and opinions, is opposed to the re Jaoval idea." . , ' 1- Twelve men were present, and seven of them Jiave been Wrd to publicly express their disapproval of Synod's action; four are' known to be remov lonists, and one perhaps, under any circumstance, would abstain from voting; Therefore I should haye said a majority of the Board recognizes that Synod has no Power to move the college, t 2 Again the charter of . the college requires "a two-third yote f all members" for' business-like ttis; and two-thirds of 18 4s ' 12, and it is known hv awatttVIxtI Known by everybody who knows anything about it that twelve members do not endorse the removal idea. 3. Synod's action, for reasons quite obvious, was not brought up by. "the removal friends" bnfc a resolution; just to , carry cut parliamentary rules, perhaps, or something else, was introduced. which gave a majority of the Board an opportunity, to "emphat ically express its disapproval of Synod's course My article no where intimates or intends io in- tima te that a vote was taken, or that a resolution was passed. So it was a majority that so expressed itself and not the Board as a whole as one might be impressed by a casual reading. 4. That this "ends all" the mat ter, is proven by a hikher au thority than any of us preachers or laymen; The charter of the college, granted by the Legisla-1 ture, gives the Synod no power at all over the college except to appoint to vacancies in the Board if it so desires; if nut the Board "shall appoint" to carry out the "perpetual succession" so clearly marked by the entire charter.! The constitution of said Board; adopted by itself, says : "Synod may recommend to the Board any measures they may deem con ducive to the welfare of the Institution, and ' everv such i r RECOMMENDATION SHALL BE CON SIDERED at the next regular meet ing of the Board, and may be accepted Or rejected." The meet ing - in question , was v"the next regular meeting" and the action was not accepted, but vigorously disapproved of by the open speeches against it , with practic ally no defense. 5. That it "is cle&rlv demon strated that the Board is opposed to the removal idea" admits of no doubt, for twelve members of the board can not be found to endorse Synod's action, and Mt requires that number. 6. So, Mr. Editor, I cheerfully take the first opportunity I have to say that in my article wherever "Board" appears it should be pre ceded by "a majority of the." The Concord Times publishes ah item for which I'nx told Board members furnished the points to the local reporter and it ends with these words : "but in the dis cussion the information developed that the Board will concur in any action that Synod sees proper to take." Some persons isimply im posed on the Times' reporter, for that statements just simply not so. The Board has not con curred in any action? and never will. It is presumption to even suppose or pray such. ;; It is com forting to me to know that my error is the less grave.; I might throw little more light on this interesting question, but I can not violate confidence. Finally, Mr. Editor, no one knows better than the several members from Cons cord, who attended the meeting of tbo Board Tuesday, that the signs they saw at the Board meeting did not indicate "concurrence in any ac tion that Synod seeB proper to take.";; Notalittle bit! ' c i I have tried to make clear the; loYeit A(jults refe it to bitter, nau purposes of: my article and if this Beatin& Tonics. Pric, 50c. OONCOUD, N. C, FRIDAY, JUNE 2, does not meet the notions of those raising objection to the communicay tion, let them say, over their own signatures, wherein it ia wrong. The public wants light, and those who have it from first sources ought to shed it; they shall have a respect ful and dignified hearing. As your correspondent, Mr. Editor, I have reason te expect your protection un til the aggrieved furnish, over their own signatures, proof of their con: tentions. Very truly ypoiF, V 4 Jas. P. Cook.

A . ten-dollar Confeder ate bill was placed in the bed one morning before she cleaned up the room. During the day the bill in some manner disippnred, and the loser off-rsd one-hsif of thjs amount of the bill to the nr. dor. The servant found the bill b(. in where nfc in the house, hoping.to recover ; 'o11 fnr n?r for up ate frv The servant was quested to get it changed, but the plan failed and the negro doesn't ! know what to think about the milter.

It cer tainly is the finest thing I ever used for stomach trouble.
