CONCORD, N. C MAY 9. 1899.
GuD BE WITH THEM.
The Standard would be ontrne to
itself, to its parishioner and other
folks if it did not give utterance! to
the fat that it feels grateful that
the Lord ha been good to so many
soldiers, when soldiers are soldiers,
to enable them to pi -c i meir tents
by the sea, in tiurieatoc, 8. 0. I s
Jt is puy that all to sarvivori
of the littte trouble our folks had
with the Blue Coata of '60-65, co aid
no' so but enough hate cone from
the four quarters of the county to
demonstrate to their comrades of
other counties and States the nudy
ing memory of the scenes which tried
men's souls and on rations not e?tu
as good as beei with whiskers.
The old Veta that- have gone to
Charleston are quiet, submissive and
reconciled to ton sitaation, they ao
cepred the results of overpower in
1865, bat that power has never yet
come into exittenoe to make them
. ! ;
repudiate their good motives and the
righteousness ' of what they did.
Those Vets am all right. They
will salute the flag of the United
States, they will defend it and all
anch, but they reserve the right to
cherish the memory of the Oonfeds
erate flg and give a patriotic yll
whenever and wherever it is raised.
Angels would da the came. .
Bat we star' d oat to ask the
Lord's protection to oar representa
tives an their trip to Oharleiton
and may each old 'soldier hare oil
canteen of happiness and good
things rnnninir aver when home
again he returns. I
God with them they that an
wered the call of da ty and never, got
their backs converted into a shot
bagf. The soldiers that performed
this way were on the other side and
have the distinguished honor of be
ing U, 8. pensioners.' t i
Death prevails among the Char
lotte Observer office f orce. Edit oris
.ally the Obsever prints the obituary
of its dog. It's a pity that dogs,
like moat people, have to die to get
nice things printed about them. '
The Qaeen City of North Oaro.
lina otherwise known as Charlotte
comes np again poking In the
rear Salisbury has a visitation of
Roseola , and Charlotte hasn't so
much as a newspaper suspicion of
the presence of this accomplishment.
The average Saliaburiau has
ceased to speak of the 5-centses and
other small demoninations that
formerly prevailed. It is the hundV
reda of thousands and millions of
dollars. Even the booUblacks des

THE NEW SCHOOL BOARD.
The Standard feels it is doing
thej proper thing when it congratu
lates the town of Concord upon
thej personnel otj its Board of
Graded School Trustees, which is
now organized for business. "
The Board is "j composed of
public spirited, conservative men,
each of whom has .the very best
interest of Concord close to heart.
Thereat portion of tlu-m have
had real school room experience
and know, from j having been
there, juat what a school ought to
be; the others have so long studied
the problem of conducting a good
school on a limited! fund that their
qualifications are assuring and
pleasing to the constituency ot
thej public schools, j
The Board paid a hih compli
ment to iU own ood judgement
when it selected for its chairman
him who has almost since the
beginning of thej schools been
officially connected with and has
been giving to the schools hid
best thought. " j .
In passing, it j means much
whin we contemplate the splendid
and marked harmony in the
Boards of Aldermen and School
Trusters of Concord, which is but
another name lor peace, harmony
and incidentally a union for the
greatest possible good from the
opportunities at hand.
Let this same good spirit con
tinue all alone the line of Con
cord governmental powers and
the-town must be the gainer.
Congratulations.
It was railroad officer vs. Jim
Crow-Car-Bill day before the
Railroad' Commissioners on Mon
day, at Kaleih. The geniuses of
the severe! roads asked the
exemption of branch lines and
claimed that the provisions of the
bill eze npted through trains
and mixed trains.
. ii
It now looks as if the Jim-Crow-Car-Bill
is a miscarriage; at any
rate, those who have been praying
so long for deliverance surely will
be
disappointed.
It is to be
hoped that enough of the instru
ment will be effective that travel
ers pay know wuen it "goes into
effect without asking any ques
tions.

Tfe ancient believe that rheumatism
was the work of a demon within a man.
An one who has had an attack of scia

agree that the infliction is dsmoniao

Pain Balm would cast but demons, but

What North Carolina Needs.
North Carolina ought to produce
corn and hogs enough to satisfy
home consumption. ; If the farmeis
f the State will meet consumption
in these two respects, no one 'will
object to their cotton - acreage, no
matter how large it may be. A
State that is full of corn, side meat,
eggs, cows and hens is a State that
can afford to ignore the currant talk
as to a great acreage. But the
trouble is North Carolina is not full
of these needful articles. VTe need
i .... i
more acre 3 ' in cornmore' hog,
more cattle and particularly mors
hens. In some 8tates the little
brown h$n i is the moBt important
and lucrative creature contained
therein. It has been the salvation,
it is claimed, of Kansas, as the cow
has been of Iowa. Gold sboro Argus.

I consider it not only a pleasure but a
duty I owe tomy neighbors to tell about
the wonderful cure effected in my case
by the timely use of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Bemedy:
I was taken very badly with flux and
procured a bottle of this remedy. A
few doses of it effected a permament
cure. I take pleasure in recebmend
in it to others sufferincr from that
dreadful disease.--J. W. Lynch Dorr,'
