Out 1t Honrs of Work but Hroken Off of Uoucli Edf?es Picked at Kaudoui and rocketed for Leisure Hours. Well, instead of passing by riav T vAM dron in again. Such good weather for.ouu farmers, ilie prospects of p, fine blackberry crop, and healthy lookui watermelon vines, causes one feel good and inclined to look on the bright side of everythin which Is easy tor any man to do if His purse is full and his. appe tite is in fairly good fix. I be lieve in thinking th.at there is good side to everything, any way. Patience is a good thin accompanied by a good degree of determination, like unto the young fellow (probably in our town and probably not) whose monthly income was $30 and his cash expenditure with a credi system reached about the $40 mark, who besought a fair maiden to step into life's boa with him to drift, he knew no where- The thoughtful female however resented his offer, tell ing him that he was incapaci tated "to even dress her." The pensive fellow, though, de termined to win and draw a good hand in the deal, tried to tell her that he guessed he would ere long become efficient in the un known art of dressing her. And so Concord has decided that users of snuff and tobacco can no more squirt-the superflu ous supply of juice on our nice cement pavements. It is well, for it fills up the nice lines run ning pro and con on our new walkways and besides the town is right in protecting the ladies' skirts and the barefooted boys By this law many a small boy will never be caught telling a lie when ho says that he has washed his feet at night before going tt bed, for he will leave no tracks behind him on the, sheets. JGJuess you are beginning to size up the list of candidates for the different offices of yourcoun ty.' I hear you will have all kinds of candidates,, including ex-members of the legislature and PoDulists too. I hear of numbers "feeling' aroflnd" who have noi yet made their an nouncements. Of course they are not tobe considered until they openly state it in their town and county papers, vhich are, you nfigjisay, te public bulle tin boards on which each candi- date must tack his name, telling what he wants. Then we are ready in a sort while to recipro cate and tell them hat we want. If a man has not in his past life demonstrated i!s ability to at teffcl to business, is not a man in thirue sense of the weffr, has not a good party record, has not been able to manage his own finances (even enough to pay for his newspaper) business men stand "agin" him when he sticks his name on that bulletin board. The more names we have tho better chance of a preference, so let Ahem stick them up. The season of the year has ar rived now for those who spend their time breathing anc eating to sit about on the corners and discuss politics, censuring each man who is aspiring to some trustwerthy .position from us "plebs." They are the ones who pilot us past the dangers that line the pathway of politics and assist in saving "our country." But then they should have a place too and it is alitor the best, I guess, as they help to ad vertise the work and in part form a bureau of information for those who want to know all in a short while. What would we do without such when it comes to concocting plans for defeating or electing some man for constable of his township or some similarly lucrative position from the government. There is a place for everybody and let these fellows have their job as long as they confine themselves to holding their meetings at blacksmith shops, wheat-threshings and small stores where only a general line of goods and some tobacco are sold. But we have similar ones in our own confines, known as No. 12 township, who foresee and sometimes make public the great steps the party should take. Sometimes they do not warn us but on the morning after the election give us that "I- told-vdu-so" story. A farmer of our county some days ago said that he was very much worried by the presence of so many "chinch-bugs" on his wheat but he now thinks that he has rid his crops of the most prominent families of this pest by the use of a mixture of kero sane oil and soapsuds. Some of our other farmers might try this also if they are troubled with the bug. If this proves successful everywhere, will there not be some danger that the Standard Oil Company and some soap manufacturers will put their head together and get a "cinch" on this chinch bug ao,nihilator. And so Rowan now stands e-en with uaoarrus m naving h?td a double lynching, the dif ference being that they use large reesand small victims while our county isonyariwise. Judging rom the reward Gov. Ayeock is offering at present I fear that hey will differ from us other- wise too, for no reward was of fered after ours. You will re- a hill side so people would look j down upon them (which wan right, of course,) instead (tf lobk ing up to such crimkials. Rowan certainly gave her viatims ele vated positiois and looked up to them. HooLKiAN. IN FAVOK OF PANAMA ROUTE. Se&ate Votes 42 to 514 lu Its Favor- Foran Amendment for $1510,000,000 of Rnd for Construction. The United States Senate voted on Thursday in favor of the Panama route for tho Isth mian canal; -The vote stood 42 to 34! There is a proviso that the President through eminent counsel shall satisfy himself as to the validity of the title. Should this be found to be satis factory the bill provides that the route shall be bought for $10, 000,000.tbe sum at which it was offered. It will be remembered that the House voted in favor of the Nicaraguan route. A conference committee, composed of Sena tors Morgan, Hanna and Kitt redge, was appointed to confer t with a House committee for agreement. An amendment was also passed providing for, $130,000,- 030 in two per cent, gold bearing bonds for the construction of the canal. These bonds are to be available for the public.

EUUt our case nere was much different from Rowan's. Besides we Cabarrusites don't beliere in letting those fellows ascend to a very great height hence used a smaller tree and on Mob Attempts to Close all Silk Mills Shots fired and Stones Showered Two Wounded Men Will Die. Patterson, Now Jersey, suff ered one of tho worst of riots on the 18th. It was among the silk mill o oralives. It w a foif tho jju-rposes of a strike and tbQ hotheaded leaders chose tho mob method of break ing into tho mill, and driving the operatives cut where they were not disposed to striko. F.or a while the mob had too city at its mercy and did much damage be side' the bruises and wo'ufcds they gave the policemen. A number of men were shot and it is counted that at least two will die. There were f usi ades of shots and stones. Only a few mills are running through fear of tho rioters, but the police ha been increased and they are so sore over their pelt ing that the ar ready to shoot to kill. The trouble is probably over and the mills will soon re.me. f 3 dolts.:cjc jOoog:xxxx,cc3cxxvX Cut Prices- Draw ' Marriage at Forest Hill. At the home (bf tho bride Thursday evening Mf.
