Ten or twelve . ais ago Concord was a small town, hut to-day its population in oer ftKK. Ten or twelve years a-o the town had several barrooms to-day it has more. It was said by Kime when the liquor trallic was stopped at Concord that it on hi kill the town, but those b'vel headed people said by their Votes we will kill it, if such an evil is required to keep it up. They killed the liquor business so dead that it would be a difficult matter to establish bar-rooms there again and t lie town has more than doub l.d it s population and has quad rupled its industries. The old c:.labcose that once disgraced the c.jurt .square lias been removed as it has proven to be a useless appen- li.VJe. 1'hey keep a policeman as a kind o an ornament to the town and utilize him as a tax gatherer There is some drinking there as in most other towns, but it is a r ue thing to see a drunk man or b ar an oath upon the street. The law of prohibition is pretty v. 11 enforced in that. town. The good citizens of the place knew such' could be done and they set th"ir heiuts together to carry out tii" law. It was our pleasure while there to meet Mr. Sherrill of Tm '1 iMF.s. Ho is now Dost master as w 11 as Editor. He is a worker in whatever position you place him. We were sorry to learn, that Mr. Cook of The Standard w as having a tussle m ith the chilis. He ought to come to Lincolnton and drink vmie of our fine mineral water. Concord is fast becoming a manufacturing center. Our own town has advantages that Concord can never have, and all we need to make us as thrifty is to take hold of the reins of progress and drive on. We propose to furnish the steam power through The Courier it the citizens of the town and county will furnish the fuel. Washington lielter. CorresDondence of Courier. Washington, May 21, 1894: There is nothing like presenting a united front to the enemy for convincing them that business is meant. The Senate just now pre sents a striking confirmation of this assertion. Just as soon as every democratic Senator in town signed an agreement to remain in their seats each day until Senator ! Harris should move to adjourn the republicans sawthat the fillibus tering jig was up, unless they were preparing ,0 remain in their seats for an indefinite period to keep it up and there was little probability of success even then, as the silver republicans publicly gave notice of their intention to aid the dem ocrats in keeping a quorum and in getting a vote on the bill, and there are other republican Sena tors who privately expressed the same sentiments. The fillibuster ing died hard, but when Senator Harris's motion for the Senate to meet, beginning to-day, at 10 o' clock was made no negative votes were cast. This does not, of course, mean that republican opposition to the bill has been withdrawn, but that it has been forced by the united front of the democrats down to a legitimate basis and that extended debate is no longer extended upon minor items in the bill. The democrats have no desire to stifle debate on the really important sections of the bill and the pro posed amendments, and they ex pect that a reasonable amount of time will bo consumed when the sugar schedule, the income tax and other really important portions of the bill are reached, but they do not intend that debate merely for delay shall play any further part in the consideration of the bill, and in that determination they have every reason to believe that they are supported by nine-tenths of the people of tho country, re gardless of politics, who want this question settled at the earliest pos sible moment, in the interest of a resumption of business. The fairness of Vice President Stevenson in selecting the commit tee which to day began the inves tigation, authorized by the resolu tion adopted without a dissenting vote by the Senate last week, was in marked contrast with the action of republican presiding officers of the Senate in selecting similar committees in the past. Although he would have been justifiable in putting time democrats and two republicans on the committee, he only selected two democrats Gray, of Del., and Lindsay, of Ky., allowing the populists one mem ber Allen, of Nebr.4 and the re publicans two '-Lodge of Mass.,and Davis of Minn. The first work of the committee will be to try to get at all the facts connected with the outrag eous attempt to bribe Senators Kyle, of S. D., andHunton,ot Va., to vote against the tariff bill. Sen sational disclosures are looked for in this case, but your correspon dent is not over sanguine that they will pan out ; not because they do not exist, but because when men start out to accomplish anything by bribery they seldom leav their tracks uncovered to a sufficient exter.t to the crime legally fasten ed upon them. The committee will also investi gate the numerous charges con necting the Senators who arranged the amendments to the tariff bill with the sugar trust in a scandal ous manner, and your correspond ent does not hesitate to predict that the foundation of every one of these charges will bo found the same Partisan vindictiveness against tariff reform. But what ever the foundation may be the committee proposes to get down to them if such a thing is possible. Several well-known republican newspaper men will find it diffi cult to produce authority for charges they have made against Senators, and it will not be sur prising if some of them eventually figure in court as defendents in criminal libel suits. The first of ficial work of the committee waa to vote unanimously in favor of hearing the testimony in rocret. This was not because of any de sire to conceal or to cover up any thing, but because it was thought to be the best way of getting to tho bottom of things. Every word of testimony taken will be printed and made puplic at the close of tho investigation, but in the mean time Senator Gray will decide just how much shall from day to day be given to the newspapers. The first big batch of discharges from the Government Printing Of fice were made Saturday. They will be continued until the force is reduced to its proper number ; meanwhile but few appointments are deing made. The House has the business of the session so well advanced that it gave itself a holiday by adjourn ing over Saturday, 'something it is not in the habit of doing. It has worked faithfully on the appropri ation bills and it has them all in such shape that it will soon be able to take up and dispose of some other important business while waiting for the Senate to send back the tariff bill with its amendments. Waoo Commencement. It was our pleasure on last Wednesday to attend the opening exercises of Waco High School, presided over by that noble chris tain gentlemen Prof. Sylvanus Erwin. Rev. J. Ed. Thompson, of Shelby was to have preached the sermon but owing to indisposition he could not do so. Rev. J. J. Renn filled the bill satisfactorily to all present. His text wae John 8 chapter and 31to 33 verses in clusive. His sermon was a gem Truth was his subject. He noticed the fact that most all teachers are professed christaina at this time. A quarter of a century ago any kind of a man was employed as a teacher. He might teach five days in the week and be on a spree the other two days. But that day has passed. Such teachers could not hold a school now. The good teacheris what is wanted to-day. The Christian man is the one sought now. Mr. Renn then di rected the minds of the pupils to the Great Teacher, Jesus Christ, who is Truth. The Sermon was a fine effort and it is a great pity that many more people were not present to hear it. The weather was unfavorable tor a large crowd Dr. B. F. Dixon, who was to de liver an address could not be pres ent on account of the death of W. T. R. Bell Jr. formerly of King's Mountain, but more recently of Waco Texas. His remains were brought to this state for inl erment. Dr. Dixon's place was very accept ably filled by Revs. J.J. Renn and D. P. Tate. We will endeavor to give a full account of all the exercises in our next issue. The National Suuiuur School, leuH Fill In, N. Y. The 10th Annual session of the National Summer School of Meth ods, Science, Literature fec, at. Glens Falls, N. Y., will begin Tuesday, July 17, 1894, and con tinue in session three weeks. This is one of the oldest and best known summer schools in the United States. Over 4000 teachers from 48 states and territories have at tended its sessions. Glens Falls is located at the foot hills of the Adirondacks between Saratoga and Lake George. The railroad arrangements this year are most favorable. Persons living in North Carolina can pur chase excursion tickets to thb Na tional Educational Association to be held at Asbury Park, N. J., just before the opening of the summer school. It is expected that these tickets can be purchased at one half the regular rates plus $2.00 the membership fee. From As bury Park excursion tickets can purchased to Saratoga or Lake George. The National Education al Association tickets will be good until beptember 1. This af fords the teachers of North Caro lina a fine opportunity to visit many places of interest at small coat. Supt. D.

A big crowd of villagers recent ly viewed the movements of an enormous bird that hovered over a field in the vicinity of Landis ville. Lancaster county, Pa. A flock of sheep were grazing in the field. From a height of several hundred feet tha bird would swift ly descend to near the earth, and after circling in long sweeps again mount on high. John Musselman, one of the crowd, went for his gun. Then he watched for a chance to shoot. Suddenly the big bird darted down ward, 9eiied a good sized lamb in its talons, and began to fly off with it, ihe lamb meanwhile uttering plaintive bleats. Musselhani fired when the feath ered robber was two hundred feet away. The bird fell dead. It was an enormous bald eagle, measuring 7 feet 2 inches from tip to tip. The lamb, still in its clutch, was also dead when found. Sciehtfio American. $100 Reward, SI OO.
