The Concord Daily Standard has completed its first volume and we are pleased to learn, is on what may be termed a solid foundation. It is a spicy little paper and deserves the ut most success. The talk about the purchase of om street railway and its conversion into an electric Bystem continues, but we cannot get at the insight of the mat ter to a sufficient degree to make any official announcement. It may be said, however, thatjnegotiations are now, and have for 6ome time, been in progress. The world was not made in a day, and great schemes require much consideration. The best can be hoped for. We notice a fine lot of Michigan ' celery at Messrs. W. C. & A.' B. Stronachs. We admire the enterprise I of these gentl mien in sending a thous and miles for a good article, but we are ashamed of the lack of it among our truckers and farmers who can, if they will, raise it as good and make not only what Michinganders make but what the railroads and the Ex press Companies make iu addition Standing at the corner of Edenton and Wilmington streets, one can see a number of fine residences that have been completed within a year and in process of completion. Such build ings are an ornament to our city, es pecially such as Col. Thos. S. Ke nan's, Mr. Wright 8 on a part of the old Haywood lot, and Dr. Skinner's on the comer. llutherford College. It will be good news to many to know that' contributions are fast be ing made to replace the buildings of Butl'.erford College, recently burned. The President of the Institution re cently collected 1.000 in Durham in a few hours, and obtained pledges for a still larger amount. " He expects at an early, day to obtain sufficient funds Jor the Abject desired. "The Danltes." The rendition of this popular play b) the Baldwin Theatre Company last night, was received with delight by a good audience. Mr. L. H. Par tiD drew the lucky number-3212 and received $20 in gold, which he preferred to the furniture. Tonight the splendid drama of Monte Christo will be performed, and we s:Dcerely hope the house will be crowded. Another Kaleigu Boy on Top. We see from the Baltimore papers that W. H. Parker, son of Capt. Par ker, deceased, has been awarded a $6,000 job in Baltimore an extension the Female House of Refuge, a State charity. Young Parker was raised in Ral eigh and learned his trade with Messrs. Ellington, Royster & Co. of this city. We are pleased to note young Parker's success. Personal Mention. Mrs ,J. Johnson Jeft yesterday aiernoon for Durham eh route for Danville, Va. Mr. Willie Brown, sen of Mr Mills Brown, its critically ill at his uncle's, near Auburn, in this county. He has had a protracted attack of fever, and recently h';. lower limbs liAve become paralyzed. There is very little hope of his recovery. A Sensible Idea. Our esteemed contemporary, the Durham Hlobe, contains, among mnrv other valuable suggestions that from time to time emanate3 from its sanctum, the following: Oulv a brief day or two now. and this election heartache will end. Then we want to see the Southern press put its shoulder to the wheel and help along the boom that will build the South anew. We.most sincerely and cordially en dorse the foregoing. We verily be lieve that this matter of politics al most continually agitated as it is, does more to thwart the prosperity of this good Southland of ours than all else besides. The people need rest from the turmoils of heated political questions, They need more atten tion to the industrial, agricultural aud mercantile matters by which they can advance the interests of themselves and families. Let dema gogues of all persuasions take back dents and let the people go to work The Globe is level on this matter. Our Native Grasses. The wild flora of North Carolina includes about ISO species of grasses Among these there are several peren nial grasses or a very promising character. The botanist of the Ex periment Station has recently made a collection of seeds and .'roots of the grassses groining in the eastern sec tion of the State and also secured samples of their forage sufficient for chemical analysis. These seeds and roots will be planted on the Experi ment Farm, and we hope by cultiva tion and careful selection to so im prove the quality of some of them as to make them worthy of a place in the best meadows and pastures. The Experiment Station is always glad to receive speciments of prom is ing natives grasses and to furnish in formation concerning their value The grass question is a very impor tant one to North Carolina farmers, The Station has been experimenting with grasses for some years, and is now prepared to suggest information concerning the best cultivated grasses and to indicate what species are most suitable for particular soils. Farmers will be thereby saved from the loss which may be caused by planting certain species upon unsuit able toils, Geraly McCarthy, N. C, Experiment Station. The next thing on docket is election day. That is for the men. The sec ond is the circus; that's for the boys and girls, and the third is Thanks giving Day; that's for usall, including the turkeys. In Sight. We congratulate our people gene rally and the business men particular ly upon the fact that the matter of a new depot has assumed such a shape as to make it a reality in the near fu ture. At tha last meeting of the Chamber of Commerce.a special committee was appointed and requested to call on Maj. J. C. Winder, with a view of asking his influence in behalf of such a structure as would be a credit to our city Yesterday the committee performed the duty assigned them and report a most favorable inter view. Maj. Winder very cheerfully gave the committee all the informa tion at bis command and showe. them the plans of the proposed build ing. These plans are said to contem plate one of the finest structures of the kind in the South, and will be no less convenient than useful. It will include waiting rooms for ladies and other conveniences, all of which will prove of great advantage to the trav eling public. Among other adorn ments the building will have a clock tower of beautiful design. Work on the structure is expected to commence in a very short time. The committee on the part of the Chamber of Commerce express them selves as under many obligations to Maj. Winder for the valuable infor mation given them. Sad Accident. This morning a young man named Leb Whitson, son of the late Rev. S. N. Whitson, 'went out hunting with some comrades about three miles South of the city. In some manner bis gun was discharged, entering his leg and inflicting a fearful wound. He was conveyed as soon as possible to his home in the eastern part of the city and medical attention secured. At latest accounts it is said, his con dition was extremely critical from the excessive flow of blood, some of the arteries being severed. Young Whitson was about 17 years old and was employed as a pressman at the establishment of Messrs. Ed wards & Broughton. uWe sincerly hope, that his injuries may not prove as serious as reported. We gained the above information from hurriedire ports, but are assured that they are in the main correct. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Since writing the above we were called upon by Mr. C. B. Edwards, who went to the residence to see the young man. Mr Edwards says that young Whitson was walking along the road with the gun on his should er when it slipped off and fell to the ground causing it to discharge, the loads from both barrels taking effect, one in the right ankle and the other in the left heel. The sufferer was taken in charge by a country gentle man coming along with his vehicle and brought home. While the loss of blood has been very great, yet we are pleased to learn there is no dan ger of a fatal result.' The accident happened at the place of Mr. Samuel Rowland, deceased. The Boss Snake Story. Chester (S. C.) Bulletin. A colored man in the lower section of the county found a large snake in his chicken house several weeks ago. Upon examination he found that.the Intruder had made a breakfast of a setting of eggs he had placed under one of his hens a few days before. He killed tbe reptile and replaced the eggs, in due time hatched, but to his surprise instead of chickens twelve little snakes was tbe result of the in cubation. The most startling part of the whole thing is that the little snakes were covered with feathers and had gills and combs ciosely re gembliDg, those of the ordinary barn yard fowl. We hear that efforts are on foot to procure the services of Francis Mur phy, the great temperance advocate, for a series of lectures in this city. Died. Arthur Green Smiili, a inriti'.er of the Sophmore class r.t 'he Agricul tural and Mechanical College died last Wednesday night ot congestion of the brain. Mr. Smith was a young man beloved by all who knew him. His remains were taken to Johnston county for burial. THE OLD XORTII STATE. Concord Standard: Mr. Henry W. Cress showed us a sweet potato (Span ish variety) that is two feet and two inches long. It's nearly long enough for a short plow line. Mr. Cress made about eight bushels of potatoes Shelby Aurora: A Cleveland coun ty farmer attempted to steal a kiss from a married woman, and it cost him forty dollars -a bale of cotton for the offense, yet he got no kiss. The Baltimore MaDufactureis' Re cord wonders why tbe Southern States, and especially North Caro lina, do not make hops, one of their regular sources of profit. North Car olina could successfully compete with the most favorable localities in the country. The Asheville Citizen says: The widow of the late Hon. S. S Cox, M. C, is at the Mountain Park Hotel. A mine has been discovered near Oxford which jields titanium, a most valuable metal. It is worth $32 an ounce, and plenty ot it is said to le there. The reported killiug of Mrs. H. T.
