Some time ago we mailed to our subscribers statements of their subscription account. A large numUr of them have responded, but there are still many from whom we have not heard: ' We send these statements to ALL ALIKE who owe us for one year or more. It is a matter of pure business and the statements are sent with the confident expectation that tfiey will be promptly and substantially responded to! This does not mean that we are doubtful about getting our pay, but merely that we need the money. Our expenses are heavy, and it is hecessa'ry that we receive all subscriptions regularly. It is no reflection on anybody's credit "or honesty, but only a gentle reminder that we need what we have earned and what is justly due us. " We have 3,000 subscribersand in dealing with so many it is, necessary that the matter of payment of subscrip tions be closely looked after. If one man owed 500 years' subscription it jwoiild look like a pretty big debt, wouldn't it ? VWell, the eiTect is just the same when 500 men own $1.50 each, or more as the case may be. See the point? We have been very patient, and our subscribers will bear witness with us tothi& effect. We are sure they will not ask us to wait on them longer. if they are in arrears, as we have workedihard to give them a good paper, and should have our pay promptly. Do nbt wait to come to Concord, brt send us the money by mail, if you live any distance We thank you sincerely for your kind patronage, and we shall strive harder than ever to give you a good paper With best wishes to you. i , Very tiuly yours, j J.

Mor ris Scrab at Albemarle. Cor. Charlotti Observer. i Albemarle, Feb. 11. One of the most unpleasant occurrences in a ong time took place yesterday after noon on the streets oi Albemarle. This wras a real fkrht between J. S. loneycutt, proprietor of the city market, and Rev. D. P. Morris. The trouble arose over an account which Rev. Mr. Morris owed the city mar- et, contracted, according to the preacher's contentions, by his son, of which he had no knowledge. Rev. Mr. Morris claims that Honeycutt called him in and demanded that the account be settled then and there. He says he told Mr. Honeycutt that he did not have - the money just then with him, but asked for a statement, and promised to pay when again over town. He says that Mr. Honeycutt talked ff roughly ' ' to him and that be remarked that he did not feel like he merited such ; short talk, -where upon Honeycutt caught him and struck Mm several tjlows in the face before he could escape. He says he did not return the blows, but tried to knock off Mr. Honeycutt 's blows and get, away. Mr. Honeycutt says that Rev. Mr. Morris had. been asked time and again to settle the bill but had refused and that when the matter was called to his attention, this afternoon Mr. Mor- ris ffave , him the lie. Mr. Morris was bruised about the face consider ably, but there was no serious hurt. Mr. Honeycutt was not hurt. Both the men ar prommenjt. Burglar at Dr. Pemberton's. A burglar, or possibly a hungry midnight intruder, entered the home of Dr. W. D. Pemberton on North Union street Saturday morning some time between midnight and 4 -o'clock. Dr., Pemberton was aroused by a pro fessional call about 4 o'clock. When he went out the back door he noticed it was open. An investigation led to the discovery of tracks on the back porch, in the pantry and dining room. The tracks could be easily traced by the snow. The pantry showed signs of being pillaged butN no articles of value with the exception of some flour was missing. There is no clue as to the intruder but it is very likely that he was some worthless vagrant, who was hungry and decided to do a little "forag ing," as the war time negro would call it! A Delightful Sewing Party. Mrs. L. D. Coltrane entertained a number bf young ladies Saturday af ternoon from 3 to 5 o clock at a de lightful sewing party in honor of her shiest, Miss Louise Young, of Dunn. Each guest brought a piece of needle work and between the stitches by deft and dainty fingers there was a constant now of merry conversation, which made the occasion one of most pleasant eniovment. JJencious re freshments were served during the afternoon. - Mrs. Coltrane s guests were: Misses Laura McGill Cannon Lida Carr Vaughn, of Durham, Myr tle Pemberton, Blanche Brown, Ruth Coltrane, Grace Patterson, Ellen Gibson, Margaret Lentz, Wilma Cor relh Miss Drake, of Bennettsville Ashlyn Lowe, Marguerite and Lucy Brown. .

Texas Congressman Makes Fervid Afc tack on The Commoner in The House. Washington, Feb. 10. " The evil genius hovering on the flanks of De mocracy" was the way in which Rep resentative Dies, o Texas, in the House today described Wm. J. Bryan. Mr. Dies was speaking of the Com moner's latest attack upon, the Dem ocratic membership of the : House. Both Democrats , and Republicans cheered Mr. Dies' declaration that he ' 1 neither feared. ,the power nor respected the judgment ' ' of ' the Ne braskan ; and his further announce ment that Democracy, under the lead ership of Champ Clark and Oscar W. Underwood was headed toward com plete success, swept the Democratic side of the House into storms of ap plause. " Mr. Dies ' attack upon Mr. Bryan followed -the latter 's declaration the last issue of the Commoner' that the thirteen Democrats who voted against a recent amendment in the House to require publicity of all rec-J ommenaaiions to me rresiaent on ucuresnip appointments were un 1 r t worthy to represent a Democratic constituency. If Mr. Bryan had spent as much ime reading law as he had attack ing Democrats in public life, said Mr. Dies, he would have known that the proposed law would be unconstitu tional and an infringement of the President's rights. Detective at Work on Wagoner Letter. A local Sherlock Holmes has inter ested himself in the inystery of the person who wrote Mayor Wagoner a letter containing a regular boni-fide Leap Year proposal. Clues are pre senting themselves on every hand and the young follower of the chief of all observers believes he has a clue that will soon bring -to light the identity of the writer. This person thinks it would be only justice to' him to name the writer should he discover who it was. He says that the matter has al- ready gone the rounds of the press and the people want to know. No doubt it will make interesting "copy" and here's hoping he will be successful. County Commissioners in Session. The board of county commission ers is holding an adjourned session today. The meeting is for the pur pose of discussing the advisability of erecting several new bridges across Rocky river The board spent the morning session considering the prop ositions of building bridges across the river at Mr. Mack Bigger 's place, the Morehead place and at Gannon's mill. Delegations of citizens are here from all three of these places and the matter is being thoroughly dis cussed. The board will probably take definite action on al lthree of the bridges this afternoon.
