Concord, N. C.
Concord, N. C, Dec 13, 1899.
Senator Pritchard is so much
in earnest in his opposition to
the proposed amendments that
he will try to have Congress to
tell the Supremo Court how to
construe the constitution made
by former bodies? His undaunted
zeal is to be v admired if we do
hold his devices in just contempt.
S1IGULU 1E SEVERELI PUNISHED.
We do not know whether or
not there is a law to puuish se
verely the persons who go about
indifferent of the danger of
spreading diseases such as small
pox. Tre certainly should be.
It ought to take years of service
in the penitentiary to expiate the
crime of spreading such diseases
with exception only of satisf ac
tor v evidence that the individual
had no knowledge of exposure
to the) disease. It is alt ogether
too serious a matter for a whole
community to be distressed and
inconvenienced by some wretch
too low-lif ed to carrj? anything
but a disease.
. Rowan has had several such
instances recently and she has a
hard tussle with smallpox. If
she succeeds in keeping it from
spreading it will be most praise
worthy, but the way it has been
spread there seems rather crimi
nal, and if a severe penalty were
attached to such instances there
would be fewer of them.
IIAItDLY WORTH WHILE.
A Yashington dispatch of the
11th says:
"Mr. Bellamy, in the interest
of newspaper publishers of
Noi Lh Carolina, has introduced a
bill to repeal the duty on wood
pulp and all material used in the
manufacture ,of printing and
writing paper and to reduce the
duty on manufactured paper."
It is needless to say this is
very much to our liking, but as
it not consistent with Repub
lican traditions to remove any of
tlrj causes of trusts, there's little
co:niort in it. Denunciation of
trusts will doubtless make some
pretty reading in the next ' Re
publican national platform f but
it is plainly demonstrated that
Republicanism is more .wad d
to abnormal tariffs than" to e'tfual
rights to all.
CARTER AND OTHER RASCALS.
-. It now appears that 1 Capt,
Oborlin Carterwas notthe" only
rascal that got fat off the Savan
nah harbor appropriation. He
is now serving a five year term
of imprisonment by. decree, of
military conrr-Tnartiaf,' but 4t
: seems he is subject te ciyil court
procedure, and an indictment of
him with D B Green, John. F
Gaynor, Wm. T. Gay nor, Ed H
Gaynor and MiV.haol Jr Connally
is about to be entered upon, i
Three of the Gaynors seem to
have; been gainers by the Sa
vannah harbor transactions, but
it remains to be seen whether
they will gain or lose oy their
rascality.
The Peace conference at
Hague isv not responsible, of
course, but it Seems rather queer
that that movement to disarm
the nations, make wars to cer S3
and stop, the great expense of
military preparations should be
followed so quickly by ta bloody
war by England and a doubling
of Germany's navy.
The Piedmont toll bridge
across the Yadkin just above. the
Southern's railroad 'bridge, is
finished; and open for ' business,
we learn from the Salisbury Sun.
Our Rowan and Davidson neigh
bors will be less impelled to take

CONCEIT.
A little dog barked at the big
round moon
That smiled in the evening
sky,
And the neighbors smote him
with rocks and shoon;
But still he continued hisrageful
tune,
And he barked till his throat
was dry.
The little V dog bounced like a
rubber ball,
For his anger quite drove him
wild;
And he said: "I'm a terror, al
though T am small, -:.
And I dare you, you impudent
fellow, to fall."
But the moon only smiled and
smiled. .
Then the little dog barked at?, a
terrible rate, "
But he challenged the moon in
vain, -,. ' ; -
For as calmly and slow aa the
workings of fate
The moon moved along in a
manner sedate
And smiled at the dog in dis
dain. ,
But soon 'neath a hill that ob
structed the west '
The moon sank out of his
sight, ; 1
And smiled as it slowly dropped
under the crest, . .
But the little dog said as he lay
down to rest: , ;.y....'
"Well, I scared it " away, all
right."

To accommodate those who
are partial to the use of atomi
zers in applying liquids into the
nasal passages for , catarrhal
troubles, the proprietors prepare
Ely's Liquid Cream Balm. Price
including the spraying tube is 75
cents. Druggists . or by mail.
The liquid embodies the medici
nal properties of the1 solid prep
aration ; Cream Balm is quickly
absorbed by the membrane and
does not dry up the secretions,
but changes them to a natural
and . healthy character. , , Ely
