Swedish Concert'Compaqy,
This celebrated company will appear
in Concord at Armory Hall on Satur
day night, December 22.
The Swedish Quartett is without-ques-tion
the most artistic combination of
male voices in America. During the
past season, they gave over two hundred
concerts, and throughout the tour,
won the approval of the most critical
audiences and representative courses in
the country, maintained that high
standard of excellence which has made
their concerts eminently successful, and
today the Quartet is doing the finest
work of its career, and is firmly estab-
xisnea in popular lavor. imminent mu
sicians and critics of the press, from
Halifax to San Francisco, agree that
the ensemble singing of the .Quartet is
excellent, while the harmonious blend
ing of voices and sweetness of tone can
not be surpassed by, any similar organi
zation. .
The program for this season has been
especially selected and arranged, and
wiil be one of the best ever presented by
the Quartet. '
In selecting the assisting artists, they
have secured one of the most accom
plished in her profession, and take par
donable pride in present Miss Grace
Mae Lamkin, Reciter, to their patrons;
while Miss Vida Skoog, the popular
Accompanist, will again appear with
the organization.

One hears a good deal of talk these
days about the Nicaragua canal. The
father of the scheme, the one who first
suggested a Nicaragua canal, lives "in
Charlotte, N. C. He is Mr. T. R.
Magill, who now sells groceries for a
living. and who frequently contributes
verses to the News under the title, of
Old Faneuil. It was in 1856 that Mr.
Magill originated the canal idea. Up
to that time the proposed canal had
never been heard of. Mr. Magill, was
then living in South Carolina, and wrote
an article for The Lancaster Ledger in
which he outlined the canal scheme

Kolb Called Down.
Montgomery, Ala. December 6.
The Kolbites have called a halt. Cap
tain Kolb will not play governor any
more for several months at least. A
caucus of the leaders of the party was
held here this afternoon for the purpose
of determining how much longer the
farce should be continued. ; The bill
providing a punishment for a political
usurpers will become a law. early next
week, and hence the emergency on the
part of Kolb's friends for early action.
It is stated that in the caucus many
counseled that the only course left was
for Captain Kolb to take hold : of the
reins of government without any further
delay. Kob himself counseled such ac
tion, it is stated. The conservative ele
ment, however, headed by ben ator
Goodwyn, agued against any such pro
ceeding and contended that thfl mock
assumption of authority could not effect
anything whatever, -
A compromise resolution was finally
introduced and prevailed. It provides
in effect that the pretense of assump
tion of authority be dropped until it is
seen what the legislature will dq toward
passing an election contest. If they,
fall to do so the resolution provides that
another state .convention be held, It
will be gome three months before tne
legislature will' have completed its labors
and adjourned, and hence "the dual
government will rest for that time at
least. Before the rest was commenced,
however. Captain Kolb and Mr. Fon-
ville, who is Kolb's secretary of state,
made affidavits to their signatures to
Colonel Reese's certificate of election as
Senator, John T. Morgan's, successor,
It is stated they'' wilf give similar v, certi

Why Is It?
Mr. Editor : Why is it that Con
cord, a town with 5,000 inhabitants,
has not a single decent street crossing
in it? Ytju can start at Odeli's factory
and go to the Fair grounds without be
ing able to go on the opposite side of
the street unless you wade several inches
in black mud. We think the ladies of
our town are at least entitled to pne
respectable crossing somewhere in Con
cord. .. A Citizen.
