ALBEMARLE AND STANLY COUNTY.
Good Report as TO Condition Of Wheat and
Oats. Mr.. Sanders to Locate In Oklahoma.
Enterprise, June 18th,

crop of wheat and oats. The
yield will perhaps surpass that of
any season in several years pre-.
vlous.
Calvin Vow escaped Tuesday af
ternoon from the city chain gang.
He il a young white man, and had
only twenty days of service to fill
ish his term. He was seen yes
terday mornl' g near Locust, and
officers are seeking to recapture
him The lash and thirty days
extra sentence may await his re-
turn. He had been "trusty' for
several days, and was serving as
cook when he took his departure,
taking with him q full outfit of
citizens s clothes.
T. B. Sanders, attorney at law,
will leave in few days for Ada,
Oklahoma, whore he has entered
into CO. partnership with Att orney
Reuben M. Roddie, of that place,
who is also State Senator. Mr.
Sanders is leaving an established
and lucl ative practice IN Abe
marie, but the opportunity Of
going to Oklahoma holds consldera
tions which he could not ignore.
" hy not make the best of things
as they come to us? There are
certain ones in this town who have
been complaining of hard times
ever since we knew them They
could not enjoy thu last few weeks
Of warm winter for fear the fruit
buds would start and then be
killed They know that cr >pa
will be failure this year. There
is always something disastrous 60
ing to happen. It is just as cheap
and you are worth more to your
family and the town if yea will
look Oh the sunny side of life.
The Recorder at Wilmington is
giving road sentences to blind
tigars instead Of imposing fines
Aud it is bearing results. So
long as profits from illegal sales
exceed court costs, the law is not
much of menace to retailers.
Put them on the roads, and let
them work out their salvation. In
this way our highways may get
service from class of laWbreakers
that are a curse toany com mmunlty,
to themselves and to their fami-
lies.
C. Nj. Miller, of Salisbury, who
has the contract for the new
Stanly county map and who has
had two surveying parties at work
on it all spring aud summer, re-
ports that the southern half Ct
the county is about complete.
As soon as this is completed a
map will be drawn and Mr. Mil
ler himself will take this and 60
carefully over the territory and
correct any errors or note any
thing that might have been left
out ~ his assistants. This care
full attention to accuracy has given
hi. maps repu tatlon all over
the south.
In addition to his present forces
Mr.. Miller has recentl y employed
young man with experience IN
this line of work, and a graduate
of Trinity College, who will join
the forces in few days.
The no orary degree of LII. D.
was conferred on Editor J. P.
Caldwell, of the Charlotte Ohser-
yer, by the trustees Of E'sk!na
College. The "Old Man" is en-
titled to all the honor that can
accompany this degr 9, and we
are glad he has it. But he was
inst as big befor he received it,
and we daresay that 'Doctor"
will never supplant plain 'Joe'
among those who most intimate y
know this genius Of the quill aud
hero of giant intellect.
The announcement that VIII
liam jennings Bryan will entel
the race for the United States
Senate from Nebraska naturally
creates soma interest. Bryan's
presence in that august chamber
would give life to the body, anc
the power and influence of the
Peerless would have occasion te
assert itself. This is hoping that
it will g Senator Bryan and thai
as such he will prove greater
strength to his party and g i've big g
ger service to his country than he
has been able to do as a losing can
