It makes her morbid and sensitive, and robs her of social enjoyment. Disfiguring erup tions are caused by impure blood, and are entirely cured by the great blood purifying medicine Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It removes from the blood the poisonous impurities which cause disease. It perfectly and perman ently cures scrofulous sores, eczema, tetter, boils, pimples and other eruptive diseases which are caused by the blood's impurity. It increases the action of the blood-making glands and thus in creases the supply of pure rich blood. "For alout one year and a half my face was very badly broken out," writes Miss Carrie Adams, of 116 West Main Street, Battlecf-ek, Mich. " I spent a grcnt deal of money with doc tors and for different kinds of medicine, but re ceived no benefit. At last I read one of your advertisements in a jinper, and obtained a boltle of Kr.

'hiirlotte Obnerver. The United States Department of Atfriculturo has issued a pamphlet of r2 pages containing the proceedings of the North Carolina Good Roads Convention held at Raleigh on Feb ruary 12 and 13,1002. The contents of the publication were compiled by .). A. Holmes, special agent, south ern division." In his letter of trans mittal Martin Dodge, director of the office of public road inquiries, says of the meeting: 11ns convention derives special mnortance from the nuHiter and representative character of those at tending and from the instructive ad- iresses delivered. 1 he Southern Rail way good roaus tram was present during the convention, and a section of object-lesson road, constructed on scientific principles, is described. I recommend the publication of this report as Bulletin No. 24, of this office." Bulletin No. 21 contains the full proceedings of the meeting, including the texts of the addresses delivered. There are also a number of cuts of good roads in North Carolina, the movement toward the improvement f which Mr. Holmes mentions in the 'ollowing language, in the course of lis address to the convention: 'The modern movement for better oads in North Carolina may be said to have begun 111 189, when the (Jeiieral Assembly passed what is nown as the Mecklenburg Road j,-nv. This was intended as a Gen-1 ral State law, but at the time it was ippueu to only three counties Mecklenburg, Forsythe and Stokes. t provided for the working of public oads partly by taxation and partly y the old labor system, but even in this moderate form it was ahead of ts time and inlHMl was repealed. It was re-enacted by the Legislature of 1HS.. and since that time, though lpplied iir full to but few counties, it las served as a basis for much of the best road legislation and road work 11 the State." Mecklenburg's work along the line of .road improvement is more espe cially emphasized in a general way, lowever, in another publication, en titled "Road Building With Convict ibor jn the Southern States, by Prof. Holmes, printed by the United States Department of Agriculture. Among the illustrations are Sleep ing Quarters for Convicts used on Public Roads m Mecklenburg county, N. C.;" "Convicts Operating the En gine and Stone-Crusher used inRoad- Building m Mecklenburg County, N. C.;" "Convicts Building a Mac adam Road in Mecklenburg County, N. C; and a "Double-Track Mac adam and Earth Road Built by Con vict Labor in Mecklenburg County, N. C." The latter is a scene taken ust North of Charlotte on the Derita road, showing about a mile of that excellent highway. Writing of the macadam roads in this county Prof. Holmes savs: "The countv being situated in the hill country, the old roads with their steep grades have had to be relocated at certain points, and they have been graded by cutting through hills and building up intervening depressions unt il this grade work as seen today resembles that along a railroad line. These roads radiate out from Char lotte, the county seat. They have a widtlunthe central township of 40 feet, of which 12 feet in the centerhas Ixen macadamized, and a dirt road 1 as been arranged on each side of this. In the rural portions of the countv the width of the road has been contracted to 30 or 35 feet; the macadam track has in many cases been reduced to a width of 10 feet, and has been placed on one side of the road. This gives a double track one, the macadam, to be used al most exclusively during the rainy season, and the other, the earth road, to lie used generally during dry weather. This double-track system, which is much preferred by the far mers, prolongs the life of the maca dam road by relieving it from traffic during dry weather. All of this work is being done by convict labor, and the long period (live to ten years) for which many 01 the prisoners have been sentenced permits their being trained for expert work in the wav of handling niachm ery and grading and macadamizing the roads. In connection with the cost of this work, it may be added that the maintenance of the convict force (including salaries of the guards and camp superintendents, and the clothing, board, tobacco, and medi cal attendance for the convicts) aver ages for the entire force for the year from 28 to 30 cents per convict per day. These- convicts are housed throughout the year in comfortable portable structures, made of wood and corrugated iron, framed in sec tions, so that they are easily taken down and moved by a small portion of the squad from one point to another along the road. "During the post twenty years, and largely during . the past decade, 104 miles of such, macadam roads have been constructed in Mecklenburg county by convict labor. At first, as might be expected, the progress made was slow and the work not always well directed, but year by year the county authorities have profited by their own experience and that of others, and during the past few years there has been a decided improve .ment both in the rate of progress and efficiency of management. Dur ing the year 1901, 12 miles of road have been graded and macadamized, at a cost ranging from f 2,000 to $3,500 per mile. The county is now expending annually something more than $ 40,000 on the improvement of its highways; and the proposition that this expediture is the best pay ing investment the county could pos sibly make is accepted by every class of citizens, and even by the convicts themselves, who seem to feel a genu ine pride in the excellent highways they are building." It will be noted that in the above Prof. Holmes deals with the- condi tions in force in 1891, that being the year in which his article was nrst prepared. Since that time many miles new road have been built in Mecklen burg county and the work goes steadily on. It is safe to say that no money that this county ever spent has brought such manifold and far reaching returns as that put upon her permanent roadways, and cer tainly none has made for her such a name for progressivenessin the coun try at large. There is much legisla tion in North Carolina over the mat ter of improved highways, but what is really needed is the roads them selves. Paraphrazing what a certain prominent man once said, the way to build good roads is to build them. WE TWO. ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

Parker. Severe Law Against Concealed Weap ons No Remedy. Charlotte Observer. The Raleigh tragedy and other homicides reported of late have brought forth a general demand for a stringent law against the pistol carrying habit in this State, as did the Columbia sensation in South Carolina. After detailing a number of cases in which death was inflicted by the use of a pocket firearm, the New Bern Journal says: "It is the open violation of the law, this carrying deadly weapons, which causes such horrible affairs as were witnessed at Raleigh and Charlotte. In every city there are men carrying pistols, a -deadly menace to their community, and violatersof law and public morality, who ought to be made examples of until the law is re spected. The law Is plain on this matter. The trouble is that it is too flagrantly and too often violated, and until the law is strictly enforced, the public may expect repetitions of the horrible affairs at Raleigh and Charlotte." The Charlotte homicide is one of those of which it may be said it would not have occurred had the law against carrying concealed weapons been regarded which it never will be by those who want to violate it but it seems from the accounts given of the Raleigh affair such a thing could hardly be considered seriously. In the latter instance two men were ex pecting trouble and were therefore armed to meet it. We are unable to see how a penalty against carrying a concealed weapon could be made sufficiently severe to deter a man who thinks it possible that he may have to take human life. The carry ing of a pistol is one of those things which many men regard as their privilege. Aside from the fact that they may find a legitimate use for the weapon, there are those among the most peaceful citizens who are in clined to resent as an interference the law that says any man cannot go armed. This in itself makes any law against the habit difficult of en forcement. A much better plan would be to hold to strict accountabil ity those who use the pistol. The doctrine of "an ounce of prevention" fails in its application in this case. The effectiveness of a practical exam ple is more to the point. Wakeful Children. For a long time the two year old child of Mr. P. L. McPherson, 59 X. Tenth St., Har- risburg. Pa., would sleep but two or three hours in the early part of the night, which made it very hard for her parents. Her mother concluded that the child had stomach tronbleand gave her half of one of Chamber lain's Stomach and liver Tablet, which quieted her stomach and she slept the whole night through. Two boxes of these Tablet have effected a permanent cure and she is now well and strong. For sale at Parker's Two Drug Stores.

Notable Speech of the Venera ble Massachusetts Senator Before the Union League Club in Chi cago Touching the Question of the South's Attitude on Social Equality and its Treatment of the Negro He Shows a Conciliatory Spirit and Voices Sentiments Which are Note worthy and Significant. Atlanta Constitution. A portion of Senator Hoar's speeclrf the other day before the Union League Club, of Chicago, touches in an interesting fashion on race condi tions in the South. Coming from a Massachusetts man, highly honored by the country, the following words have unusual significance: "I know how sensitive our South ern friends are on this matter of so cial equality and companionship, and I think i might say fairly and properly and that perhaps 1 have a right to say it that it is not wise for the people of the North to under take to deal rashly or even to judge hastily of a feeling so deeply implant ed in their bosoms. "Time, the great reconciliator will reconcile them to that if in the nature of things and in the nature of man they ought to be reconciled to it. And if in the nature of things and in the nature of man time does not reconcile them, it will be a sign that they ought not to be reconcfledto it; and that some other mode of life for them must be devised. "Now, my friends, having said what 1 thought to say on this question, perhaps I may be indulged in adding that , although my life politically and personally has been a life of almost constant strife with the leaders of the Southern people, yet as I grow older I have learned not only to re spect and esteem, but to love the great qualities which belong to my fellow-citizens of the Southern States. They are a noble race. We may well take pattern from them in some of the great virtues which make up the strength as they make the glories of the free States. Their love of home; their chivalrous respect for women; their courage; their delicate sense of honor; their constancy, which can abide by an opinion or a purpose or an interest for their States through adversity and through prosperity, through the years and through the generations, are things by which the people of the more mercurial North may take a lesson. And there is an other thing covetousness, corr jp tion, the low temptation of money has not yet found any place in onr Southern politics. "Now, my friends, we cannot afford to live, we don't wish to live, and we do not live, in a state of estrange ment from a people who possess these qualities. They are friends of ours; born of our borning; flesh of our flesh; blood of our blood, and what ever may be the temporary error of any Southern State, I, for one, if I have a right to speak for Massachu setts, say to her: 'Entreat me not to leave thee nor to return from fol lowing after thee. For where thou goest I will go, and where thou st ay est I will stay also. And thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God.'" A more notable and a loftier Na tional expression has not emanated from the lips of a statesman since the fratricidal madness of the sixties. Of all men high in public affairs, the South had preferred that Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, say such things. Such are the final proofs that the Nation is again one in spirit as the dictum of war compelled physical oneness. What the senior Senator from Massachusetts said about the people of the South before the Union League Club, of Chicago, was as broad and conciliatory as the sentiments ex- iressed by the late-President McKin ey on Southern soil, and by reason oi tne venerable spokesman s mstoric personality and the peculiar constit uency he has so long represented in Congress,' Ins (Jhicago expression must be regarded as even more sig--nificant. We have had some illus trious peacemakers, North and SoTith; whose dearest ambition was to see the traditional "bloody chasm" filled level and sodded over with a common American patriotism and fraternity, but in that luminous list of great souls that scorned jackal politics for the National good, there are not a few who will hold that this last eleventh hour name, like that of Abou Ben Adhem, leads all the rest of those from the North. When Senator Hoar speaks of "so cial equality and companionship" as between Caucasian and African in the South, he reasons well and truly in philosophizing that if, at length, the onciled to this unnatural and wholly undesirable thing, "it will be a sign that they ought not to De reconciled to it." The test has already been made in every conceivable form, so far as concerns this people, and no law of the Medes or Persians was more immutable than is this law, But in demanding that they be al lowed to fix their own social levels and race demarcations, the people of the South do not ask to be accorded a scintilla of deference on account of section, prejudice or antecedents. They only ask to be judged on the broad plane of human nature with the application of a divine touch - of the golden rule. It is the knowledge that even the most uncompromising elements of the North are now evincing a dispo sition to meet their brethren of the South half way on such a rational bams of good fellowship that is so gratifying. The people of the South ern States are capable of handling whatever of a problem the negro sit uation presents, and of handling it with the maximum of equity along the lines of least resistance. They omy asK tnat tneir neighbors profit by their sad lesson of the reconstruc tion period, miscalled, as they them selves nave prontea by the wreck and wrath of those preceding four years of open hostilities. It is a dull man who will not recog nize the force of time's argument when he is buried neck deep in cumu lative evidence of his error, or who refuses to see the logic of a point which impales him. Now that mutual admissions and mutual confessions have been made, why should there not be an end of this race buncombe along with the other stock rubbish of the sectional ,Tan Winkles? i he South has her hand open to Senator Hoar. What he said was not only kindly and graceful, but it is testimony of a grand truth not unmixed with magnanimity. The Southern type of statesmanship is well known to the discerning and scholarly statesman from the Old Bay State. He has witnessed the deadly and deadening influence of Mammon and commercialism upon the membership of the once great body in which he sits, and as he has beheld the spread of the uuspeakable evil East and West, through State after State, he cannot conceal an honest admiration for the one section of our common country which says to the insidious usurper: "Thus far shalt thou go and no farther!" The personnel of the Southern dele gation in Congress will bear out this good opinion this extraordinary comment of Senator Hoar. This is a glory that still remains to the South through all her poverty and vicissitudes, and though this Spartan guard at Washington represent a minority in governing power, it is something for the republic at large and for those who feel themselves still freemen therein, to have the South's uncorruptible and uncon querable watchers in the pass at Thermoplae. The people of the South will heart ily reciprocate such beautiful senti ments as those to which the veteran Massachusetts Senator has honestly given utterance. He spoke from stress of conscience and because he loves truth for truth's sake after the labor of conviction. God grant that the foolish bitter ness which has long outlived the logic of events is at last a part of dull oblivion. Colds are Dangerous. How often you hear it remarked: "It's only a cold," and a few days later learn that the man is on his back with pneumonia. This is of such common occurrence that a cold, however slight, should not be disregarded. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy counteracts any tendency toward pneumonia. It always cures and is pleasant to take. Sold at Par ker's Two Drug Stores. Let the Circus Atone. Charlotte Observer. The Washington Gazette-Messenger says that "in the name of the people residing in the rural districts we enter our protest against the pas sage of that part of the revenue bill that taxes circuses so high that it will prevent them from visiting the State," and warns the members from its county in the following language: "As far as we are concerned we propose to watch the vote of Repre sentatives Hooker and Sugg, and should they cast their ballots in favor of depriving the people of the rural districts of the opportunity of at tending the circus and taking the children to see the animals, we, without reservation, announce that we are 'agin 'em' should they at any time seek re-election. The tax is nothing less than an outrage for which there is no excuse, and it is in direct opposition to the wishes of the people." We are heartily in sympathy with our contempoary in its efforts to preserve the circus for the amuse ment of the people. Its coming is the one bright event in the entire year for a great many of them, and we have about as little sympathy with a law which overtaxes circuses so that they will keep out of the State, as with a prohibitory tariff tax.

She found part of the house and the kitchen in flames. The first thing to do was to cet out the little children; this done she sent a 14-year-old son to turn in a fire alarm from the near est box, which he did immediately and the firemen were wonderfully prompt in respodingto the call.

Senator Hanna Outdoes Presi dent Roosevelt In His Qrand Stand Play For the Col ored Vote The Comic Aspect of These Two Men in Their Contest for the Favors of Their Fellow Citi zens of Afro-American Descent A Sinister Business They Are . Both Engaged In. New York Journal. President Roosevelt's monopoly as a player to the colored gallery has been destroyed. Senator Hanna has bounded onto the stage and demand ed his share of Afro-American atten tion and applauee. It is fully under stood by the whole white population of the country that either gentleman is willing to make any sacrifice of dignity in return for Southern dele gates to the next National Republi can Convention. The contest between the two for the favor of their fellow-citizens of Afri can descent has its comic aspect, of course, but only the light-minded will care to dwell on the ludicrous side of such a degrading tug-of-war between the President of the United States and the leading Republican Senator, his rival for the nomination in 1904. Mr. Roosevelt, professing the very noblest motives the while, appoints negroes to office in the South and takes every occasion to rebuke South- ... . ... erners lor not liking too intimate personal contact with a race whom they, in common with Mr. Roosevelt, refuse to regard as their equals. This policv appeals to the pride of the blacks, and the President has cal culated that in exchange, for "recog nition the negroes will nock to the polls in his behalf when the time for electing delegates arrives. But now comes Senator Ha'-ina with a bill providing for the pension ing of every ex-slave, a measure that would take hundreds of millions from the Treasury were it to become a law. Nobody better than Senator Hanna knows that there is not the remotest possibility of his bill ever becoming a law. There is not the least probability that it will ever be brought to a vote in this or any other Congress. But that does not concern Mr. nannar vnat ne is after is popularity on the plantations and in the black alleys of Southern cities, where Mr. Roosevelt of late has been having it all Ins own way. The poor black man may be grateful to the President for giving a collector ship and a postotiice or two to col ored citizens, but what is such recog nition, however flattering, in com parison with the promise of a Hanna pension for himself or one of the family? The South is apart of our common country as such as well entitled to internal peace as is any other part. For outside politicians to disturb its quiet and threaten its safety in order that they may further their personal ends in a National Conven tion is simply infamous. If the Chinese of the Pacific coast were fifty times as numerous as they are, and tiad votes, and Roosevelt and Hanna or the sake of delegates, should en deavor to arouse the yellow men against the whites there, that would be a precise parallel to what Koose- velt and Hanna are doing in the South. Every real friend of the negro, every enemy of race hatred, every foe ot sectionalism, ana every citizen who cares for the dignity of the Presidential and Senatorial offices must deplore the course of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hanna. Their rivalry as aspirants for the Presi dency has carried them beyond all permissible bounds. - While they alarm and incense the South, they humiliate the United States by de basing our politics to a level that puts us in shame before the civilized worMr" That is a sinister business. Not only is it to the last degree discredit able to the President and tne bena tor as public men, but it is highly dangerous so dangerous that it be comes the duty of patriotic men throughout the Union, regardless of j Earty; to lift their voices and order a alt. i Tomorrow Senator-elect Overman will be 8 worn in and with his col leage Senator Simmons will consti tute the representation oi tnis mace in the Senate, thus completing the work of redemption begun by the honest Democracy in 1898, when it repudiated Fusion and Fusionists, and made the present representation Eossible.

It is questionable if the law in this state dividing murder into two de grees has not been productive of more harm than good. Of course it was designed to aid justice and it has done so by making possible in certain cases the pumsn ment of defendants who could not have been convicted' under the old law. From this point of view the law has proved a wise one. But, on the other hand, a habit of convictinir of murder only in the second degree has grown up among orth Carolina juries until it has become well-nigh impossible to punis. even ,$oe most malicious and deliberate killing with anything more severe than a short term in the penitentiary. This is es pecially true if the defendant happens to be a person of wealth or position or influential Ir.ends. As a natural result life in North Carolina has been cheapened and men threaten bloodshed on the slightest provocation, killings have become more frequent and the criminal courts are often held in contempt. The dividing line between the first and second decrees is so fine that it matters not how deliberate or malic ious a murder may have been the avenue of escape from the extreme penalty of the law is always open to the defendant with money and influ ence on the one hand and to the judge and jury loath to deal out the death penalty on the other. A glance at the State s noted crim inal trials within the past few months will illustrate: Take the Nellie Cronsev case. If she was murdered by James Wilcox, as the juries in two trials said she was, the deed was deliberately plan ned and maliciously committed. Yet the jury, taking advantage of the law dividing murder into two degrees, brought in a verdict of murder in the second degree. More recent still is the case of Bishop, tried in Charlotte last week. He deserved the death penalty, if ever a man did, but through the law in regard to homicides was enabled to escape with only five years in the penitentiary. In the Raleigh tragedy the defend ant is preparing to take" advantage of this law in case his plea of self de fense does not serve to let him off en tirely. Hence it may be seriously ques tioned if the law dividing murder into two degrees has not proved an obstacle in the administration of justice rather than a help. "Well Again.

PLhy Paiagiaphs From Herald. the Durham No one will believe that there is oil in this state until it is proven, yet why not here as well as elsewhere? This is too big a country for the President to be taking up his time with the settlement of a jim crow post office matter. We have never believed that Con gress had sufficient grounds for keeping out Roberts and there is less for keeping out Smoot. There are cases in which the injured Jiarty is held justifiable by society or killing his man, but when the in jured partv is killed the crime is two fold. It may sometimes be the case that the prominence of the parties con cerned in a news item inflnences a pa per in its decision as to whether or not it is news. When the criminally inclined can kill unoffending people without fear of punishment the peaceful citizen should be allowed to carry two guns as a means of protection. When the temperance people can get a Legislature composed mostly of politicians to pass any sort of tem perance legislation they have the right to look upon it as a victory. Lockjaw From Cobwebs.

A Word to Nursing Mothers It is a well known dinical fact that babies who depend wholly on mother's milk never have cholera, and are exempt from two-thirds the ailments which afflict infants. Some inkling to this has checked the resort to artificial foods and begun to make it " good form " for every mother to nurse her own baby when she can. Some try it, and grow weak and sick under the strain. With others the milk flow is insufficient, and the poor baby is at last given over to the tender mercies of the milkman with his corn fodder, and stale slops, and worse. If any mother within ten miles of our store reads this, we want to give them a hint. Try Vinol. There are many mothers who have found that it enabled them to take more nourishment, restored their strength, and made baby healthy, hearty, and happy. Vinol not only supports the mother's strength but transmits to the babe the foundation for a healthy childhood. Vinol contains no dangerous drus. We are willing to tell you jus', what is in it and give you the money back if it don't help you. Don't doubt, try it. Parker's 2 Drug Stores. Dr. A.S.PENDLETON, Physician and Surgeon, HEXDKUSOX, N.C.
