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.

Mob Attempts to Close all Silk Mills

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.
