It was just after Easter, and a half-dozen men lingered after their uncheon at the club, discussinsr a matter which had been committed to them, and for the consideration of which they had come together. They found themselves in agreement booner than they expected, and the report which the chairman of the committee had drafted was approved I without modification and signed by all; and so there was a little un expected time at the end of the meal in which none of those ordinarily busy men made haste to go. They had got into conversation about; Easter, arM the topic had reached sj evei ox general interest. ; There never had been a more perfect day, they all agreed. The air had been balmy, the grass had been green, the birds had sung, the churches had been filled to overflow ing,, and the day had left a most pleasant memory. But what had the day really meant? There was some quotation of sermons, either as heard or as reported in the newspapers, and some comment on the change of emphasis in Easter preaching now and in former years. And there was some tendency to agree that the hope of personal immortality seemed less large in the mind of the man of to-day than in the mind of men of other generations. After all, said one. the ques tion is not how long we live, but how well. This life is quite as long as most men make good use of and 1 don t know but it is as long as I care for. One world at a time is enough, and if there is any other, it will take care of itself when it comes." Others spoke in the same vein. and this appeared to be the general feeling among the men present. Near the end one of them spoke who had been a silent yet deeply nterested hearer of all that the rest had said. Said he: "Two weeks ago I was called back to the old home by a message that my mother was dying; and I sat for the greater part of the two days that elapsed until the end came, holding her hand on one side, while my father held the other hand. She was conscious to the end. She faced death without fear, though she was a somewhat timid woman. "Those were sad hours, but beauti ful hours; and she was able to live over with us the years of the past. and to tell us her hopes and her wishes. We had never realized be foreno man can realize until he goes through that experience what the fulness of life is.. "We saw the change approaching. My father, who had walked by her side for more than fifty years, said, bhe 13 nearing the shore: she is nearing the shore!' ; Then came the last breath, and the death-rattle, and my sister cried, 'Oh, what is it?' for she had never heard that terrible sound before. "What is it this thing we call death? It is a beautiful thing my mother's death was; yet it is an ominous and a terrible thing. What is it? And what is there beyond it? "I agree with what you have been saying, yet it is not all I want. I came to this Easter-time with a deep yearning for a word of positive com fort, and I have heard it the clear faith of my mother reaffirmed in the words, 'I am the resurrection and the life.' I believe in the immortality of the soul. I believe in my moth er's religion. And this has been for me a beautiful Easter." There was something in this bit of a business man's heart that made all academic discussion seem out of place. The conference ended, and as each man passed out he took the hand of the man who had last spoken but few of them said anything. The Third Person. In the town where Rev. Dr. Em mons was pastor lived a physician tinctured with the grossest form of pantheism, who declared that if ever he met Dr. Emmons he would easily floor him in argument. One day they met at the home of a patient The physician asked Dr. Emmons : How old are you, sir V The doctor, astounded at his rude- ness, quietly replied, bixty-two; may I ask.Sir, how long you have lived?" "Since the creation," was the re ply of the pantheist. Ah, I suppose, then, you were in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve?" "I was there, sir." "Well," said the wily divine, "we all know there was a third person present." THE E0LTDL Quuttrud Child: Party regularity Is an excellent thing when the party is what it ought to be. It is fine to see a man stand by bis party, his lodge or his church when he can do so and keep his conscience. But there come times when he must turn sadly away from the organization that has here tofore commanded his allegiance, and declare his independence. We have just had a striking example of this, in the recent contest before the primaries in Raleigh. The party in power had become corrupt The af fairs of the city were shamefully mis managed. The public revenues were wasted in salaries and in various forms of graft. The sturdy citizen ship, after a period of amazing pa tience and forbearance arose in their might , and swept the field. They were in a sense "bolters," but the time had' come to bolt Nothing else, under the circumstances, could have been done. The honorable and the manly thing to do was precisely what the good citizens did, and the old officials were ingloriously de feated. In former days party regu larity was a name to conjure by. The lash of the boss rang loud and clear, and in self -defense - good men were forced to swallow pills that they need not and will not swallow under the new and better dispensa tion. The colored vote, usually on the side of the vicious and corrupt, is no longer r a menace, and men are free to consult their own consciences rather than the political exigencies of the time. A bolter who bolts for a good cause and because he will not endorse by his vote a bad or incom- Eetent candidate is a benefactor to is country and not a renegade. The old time party boss lost his power when the amendment to the consti tution that disfranchised the colored voter was ratified by the people. The South has suffered more, per haps, than any other section of our country because of the peculiar po litical conditions with which we had to deal. But the time has come at last when a man need no longer vote for a candidate he knows to be cor rupt because he belongs to his party. Under the new conditions, party loyalty can be as strong and true as ever; but party slavery is a thing of the past. CUkKD BRONCHITIS. Mrs. Hopkins Says Her Life Saved--Chok- r ed and Gasped for Breath. "Some five years years ago I was taken with a bad attack of bronchitis. I was affected with a bronchial oongh' and oold, the oongh was generally much more apparent at night, and I would wake np choking and gasping for breath and there seemed to be a terrible stop page in my throat and tubes. My throat was tender- and"- irritable, and had an aching sensation, which was especially bad at times. I doctored and used sev eral remedies, but received no perma nent relief until I used Hjomei. This remedy is certainly if nallible, and it saved my life, and I accord it the credit whioh it deserves. There is nothing too strong for me to say regarding Hyo tnei."

His Sign Down. A disheveled man, much the worse for liauor. staggered out of a Maine "speak-easy" and laboriously prop ped himself against the door. For a while he owlishly surveyed the pass- ers-bv. Suddenly his foot slipped, and he collapsed in a heap on the sidewalk. A moment-later he was snoring. A hurrying pedestrian paused, re flectively surveyed the fallen man for a few seconds, ana tnen posea his head in the door. "Oh, Frank," he called. "Frank, Presently . the proprietor of the m . ... .

The growth of sentiment for rood roads in Davidson county is trulv amazing. The Dispatch has never seen such a demonstration for any thing in this county. A trip out in to the country will convince any man that the farmers are determined to Eut an end to their mud tax and to uild decent highways over which they can haul their products to mar ket, or on which they can travel with ease if only for pleasure. People are Burred up as they have never been on a publie Question before. The Davidson roads at this time are fearfuL It is really dangerous to travel-some of them at night. ' Time and again in the past the Dispatch has tried to draw people out and get them to write letters to us, on the subject of road improve ment; but with poor success. No body seemed interested. This spring the whole county is struggling through the mud to put in a word for better roads. In the light of past apathy, the present situation is little short of a revolution. Let's just simply get right down to it, gentlemen, map out a cam paign, adopt our plans, vote bonds, select good men to co-operate with the county commissioners in spend ing the money to the best advantage and build good roads in Davidson county. There isn't but one way to go at it, and that is the right way, and now is the time. There ought to be a preliminary meeting of rep resentative farmers and business men in the court house, and com mittees appointed to take up the va rious phases of the work. The mer chants of Lexington and Thomas ville, the Farmers' Union, and farm ers from every section ought to meet and agree on something, and then pit h in for a good road? cam paign. Meanwhile let every citizen do something to advance the cause. j There to "Get Through." Atlanta Constitution. The Mulberry News has a story of a school teacher who reproved a girl pupil for not knowing her geography lesson: "The next day the child's mother appeared on the scene and let go of this phillippic: 'I guess you don't know it all. I send my little girl here to school so that she gets through. I want her to get through so she gets a man. You never mind about geography. I don't care, just so she gets through. I want her to get through. My other daughter, she didn't know geography and she got through, and she got a good man all right. Lots of girls, they don't know geography, and they eet men. But you you (and she pointed her finger directly at the teacher), you ain't got no man at all and can't git none. What's this geography good for, anyhow? You just see my daughter gets through school and I'll learn geography to her.' " BALDNESS UNKNOWN. One of the most prominent druggists in America made a statement a few days ago which has caused a great deal of discussion -among scientists in the medi cal press. He said : "If the new hair grower, Parisian Sage, increases its sales as it has during the past year, it will be used by nearly every man, woman and child in America within eight years." And when Parisian Sage is used al most universally, dandruff will disap pear and with its departure baldness, itching scalp, splitting hair and all scalp diseases will follow and wenty years from now bald head will be a rarity." There's only one way to cure dandruff and that is to kill the germ. There is only one hair preparation that will kill the germs, and that is Parisian Sage. It is guaranteed to cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching of the scalp in two weeks, or modey back. It is the most pleasant and invigorat ing tonic, and is not sticky or greasy.

Cdc) Jo pu "CourtinaT" Why. blet you. my boy, the young fellows of today do not know the meaning of that word' V hen a young man would walk five or even ten miles through the snow or rain and mud, freeze his ears and fingers, and face the danger of wild cats, to see his girl, and that too in the general living-room with the family, he was entitled to admit that he was courting. And that was the rule, not the exception. The young fellows would start out Sunday afternoon to see their sweethearts, and no weather was to bad to kevp them at home. It might be too cold or too muddy to take out a horse; but in that case he would go on foot. and he would go through as much hardship to see his girl as did knights of old to rescue fair maids in castles bold. But it was his devotion, his courting; and when he won that girl hestuckto her through thick and thin, through good report and evil report, obeying the scriptural iniunc- tion that what God has joined to- gether no man should put asunder, There were no marriages of conven - ience and few hasty marriages then The courting was long and there were no divorces to follow. . The young people might meet often at the singing-school, or the dance, or the husking bee; but these did not take the place of regular courting. The courting was on bunday night and the young man went re ligiously to see his girl and remained so until midnight with the object of his affection, even though her father and mother and the younger children were present to share the visit; and when he went home, either through the storm or under the bright starlight, he walked the earth as a conqueror, for he had been in presence that to him represented the real poem of life. He had been courting! And that is all we need, to bring safe and sane ideas of mar riage courting courting in the true sense of the word, the man seeking, if not serving, like Jacob, seven years for the object of his af fection. Then he will stick to 'her and she to him through life. There wece some old fashions that have not been improved upon, and one of them is the old way of courting. Her Influence Lived After Her.

People past middle life usually have some kidney or bladder disorder that saps the vitality, 1 which it naturally lower in old age. Foley's Kidney Rem edy corrects urinary troubles, stimulates the kidneys, and restores s'rensrth and vigor. It cures urio acid troubles by strengthening the kidneys so they will strain out the urio acid that settles in the macles and joints causing rheuma tism Gibson Drug Store. Professor Brander Matthews, the brilliant writer and teacher, was dis cussing literary quaintness at Colum bia. In illustration of the quaint he said: "A little girl I know Was very bad one day. She was so bad that. other corrections failing, her mi tljer took her to her room to whip her. "During the proceeding the little girl's brother opened the door and was about to enter. But in her proi e position across her mother s knee the little girl twisted around her head and said severely : " 'Eddie, go out ! Can't you see we are busy ? "I'd Rather Die, Doctor, than have my 'eet cut off." said M L Bingham, of Princeville. Ill ; "but you'll die from gangrene (which had eaten away eight toes) if you. don't," said all doctors. Instead, he used Bucklen's Arnica Salve till wholly cured. Its cures of Eczema, Fever 8 ores, Boils, Burns and Piles astound the world. 2So at all drug stores. HOME ENDORSEMENT. Hundreds of Concord Citizens Can Tell You All About It. Home endorsement, the public expres sion of Oonoord people, should be evi dence beyond dispute for every Oonoord reader. Surely the experience of friends and neighbors, cheerfully given by them, wi1! carry more weight than 'the utterances of strangers residing in fara way places. Bead the following : Mrs. lb 8. Bonds, 140 W. Depot St., Oonoord, N. O , says : ;Doan's Kidney Pills, proourtd at Gibson's drugstore, benefitted me in every way and I do not hesitate to endorse them. I suffered from a constant, dull pain in the small of my back, accompanied by miserable headaches and various other symptoms whioh shewed that my-kidneys were disordered. Doan's Kidney Pills went directly to the root of my complaint, and I had taken them but a short time when they entirely disposed of my kid ney trouble." For sale by all dealers.- Price SO cents.
