A Hays, of Southern Railway, st Raleigh. (jood roads make even trade throughout the year. Gets All That's Coming to It. T. B. Barker Secretary Farmers' Alliance, at Raleigh Good Rood. Convention. A bad road is a relentless tax asses sor and a sure collector. 1 What Good Roads ilean. Pips. G. T. Winston, at Winston-Salem. There would be a revolution in North Carolina if every county had modern macadamized roads. Good roads mean goodfchools.good libra ries and rural free mail delivery. tlood Roads and Education. Senator F. M. Simmons, at Winston-Salem. Good roads and education go to gether. Educate the people and there is no power in the world that will keep them from building roads and you cannot keep the people from be coming educated. Bonds Will Build the Roads Now. W. H. Moore.Predident National Good Roads Association, at Raleigh. Issue bonds. All railroad or street car systems in your State exist by reason of issuing bonds, and they would not exist without it. This method will build the roads now; you will enjoy them, and your children will help pay for them. The bonds.if not paid, will be refunded when they are due at a lower rate of interest. Wealth Enough to Justify It. Progressive Farmer. We believe that Gaston county has wealth enough to justify it in upend ing $300,000 to improve its high ways. The mud tax is just as expen sive as the good roads tax, and it is better to pay road bonds and get good roads than to pay the mud tax and keep bad rtmds. We shall all learn this lesson before many years. Organize, Organize, Organize! W. H. Moore.PresidentNational Good Roads Association, at Raleigh It is a shame to deprive the people of the farm from enjoying the libra ries, churches, and other advantages of cities on account of mud. I hope the women will form clubs and help the men. I think they can do better than the men. Will you organize and carry the fight into your own coun ties? The road question has not re ceived support because there has been no organization. Cursing Will be Turned to Praises. Gov. C. B. Arcock, at Raleigh Good Roads Convention. We must bring the country people nearer together by good roads and then we can have good schools. We are pledged to educate the people of North Carolina. We have beard from the taxation impossed for the pur pose of educating the children and to build good roads; you must raise money by levving taxes. Some will curse you now, but the future gener ations will sing you praises. tiood Roads Abolish Isolation. Gov. C. B. Arcock, at Raleigh Good Roods Convention. The quest ion of good roads touches us at every point. It measures the attendance upon schools; we can cal culate from the condition of the roads the number who go to church on Sun day; it touches our agricultural life; it meets us in the industries and in commerce;there is no interest in North Carolina which is not affected by it, The great strength of North Carolina has been its love of individual liberty and its devotion to the State, Its weakness has been its isolation. Bad Roads Costflore than Qood Ones. Senator F. M. Simmons, at Wiritton-Salem. 1 am told that the general conten- tiou is that the cost ot ban roaas to the farmers of this country annually amonnts to $GOO,00 ,000. Bad roads cost more than good ones do. Not only the farmer is concerned about good roads, but the city man the banker, the clerks, and all have to contribute to the loss of the farm er.

These are the conclusions reached by men who have studied the question in all of its details. There U a Way. M. V. Richarda,of Southern Rail way, at Ashe, rille. - It is not impossible to have iu the South a system of roads as good as any in the world. We have all the conditions necessary for the construc tion of roads. The work can be ac complished in some way. You will have to decide how. There is a way and you will find it. I expect to have the pleasure of placing before our friends in the North another argu ment why the South possesses ad vantages to the homeseeker, namely, that we have the best roads in the United States. Will you substantiate this argument? Qood Roads Cost Nothing. M. A. Hays, of Sou them Railway, Raleigh Good Roads Convention. The greatest tax the people) of the nation have is bad roads. Enough money has been spent in repairing bad roads to build good ones. What ever you spend in building good roads will come back in the increased value of your farm land and the growth of your industries. If you increase the value of your farm lands in this State one dollar an acre by making improved roads,the total in creased value would be 133,000,000, and that would more than build all the good highways you need. The in creased value of farm lands, however, would be much more than $1 ;m acre. Will Fall in Line When They Consider. M.V. Richards, of Southern Railway, at Ashp Tille. There is a growing demand for bet ter roads;t.he present decade will pass into memory as the good roads age. Peonle in all na.rts of our hind sire i ' - - i alive to the subject; they are going 1 into the question upon practical hns of action. The more its merits are studied and the better it is under stood, the greater the interest. True, in some sections, there are influential citizens, land owners and taxpayers, who have not as yet awakened to the importance of the betterment of the public highways, but it can be very safely predicted that as soon as they fcive the matter due consideration they will fall in line and give their aid. The Right Name is DeWitt. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cools, soothes and heals cuts, burns, boils, bruises, piles and all skin diseases. K. E. Zickefoose. Adolpb, W. Va., says: "My little daughter had whit e swelling so bad that piece after piece of bone worked out of her leg. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cured her." It is the most wonderful healing salvein the world. Beware of counter feits. Sold at Parker's Two Drug Stores. A Hot Shot From the Standard. Presbyterian Charlotte Observer. We are informed that the Southern Presbyterian printing press "weighs near twenty thousand pounds." It has the gift also of imparting heavi ness. In the inauguration of the first president of the University of Virgin ia, Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, the Old North State would gently remind the Old Dominion that North Carolina is also "first at Charlottesville." The Basis Gf All Greatness. Rev. P. R. Law, in Lumberton Robesonian. The basis of all greatness for the State and glory for the church is the homes of the people. But no home can approximate ideal excellence without Christianity. And the degree of Christianity demanded is always measured by their prayerfulness. AH that is good and great comes from God who gives only in answer to prayer. The one thing needful among us as a people is family altars. Noth ing car. bring to us such splendid re sults as a revolution in this behalf. It would seem strange with proper i reflection that so few homes have : established altars of prayer. What better thing could a parent do for his children than go to God with and for them daily. His withheld bless ing is the worst of curses .and his gifts the greatest good. Really no man can do so much for his offspring as to devote it to God's care and keeping.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot. We have been favored with a mark ed copy of the Independent in which Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart undertakes to discuss "Conditions of the South ern Proble'm." Probably no better exemplification of the futile and profitless discussion of this so-called problem has appear ed. Dr. Hart is a learned man,a sin cere man, a man of considerable pow ers of sane observation, and yet in two or three of the leading para graphs of his article he manages to blunder hopelessly and to make it clear that his discussion of the alleged problem will not get much below the surface. For example, he declares that Richmond, Atlanta, Birming ham, Montgomery, Mobile and New Orleans constitute ''almost all the prosperous, and go-ahead Southern cities living from Southern trade, ex cept Memphis." What about Nor folk, Charlotte, Columbia, Chatta nooga, Louisville, NashvilIe.Houston and Galveston? What light is to be expected from a student of South ern conditions who pretends to find no evidence of prosperity and prog ress outside of a half dozen cities, three of which are surpassed in both particulars by the cities we have named? Another glaring error made by Dr. Hart is embraced in the statement that the seriousness of the negro problem is in the direct ratio to the relative density of negro to white population. Every well versed stu dent of the situation knows that in parts of the Mississippi valley and in the delta, where the population is most dense, the" negro gives less trou ble than he does in Virginia, the Car olinas and Georgia. The South has its problem, of course. But there are two observa tions that are warranted: 1. It will get no assistance worth considera tion from the North in solving that problem. 2. The North has in its for eign immigrants, its socialists, and its labor organization a problem even more grave than any that confronts the South. This is said in no spirit of captious ness. The Northern brethren are free to come, see and criticise; only they must understand that the South need not be expected to take them serious ly. Long experience has shown that they have no practical ideas to offer .lothing to offer, in fact, but the views, at most, of well-meaning vis ionaries reasoning from false prem ises. A Tried and True Friend. One Minute Cough Cure contains not an atom of any harmful drug, and it has been curing Coughs, Colds, Croup and Whooping Cough so long that it has proven itself to be a tried and true friend to the many who use it. Mrs. Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ihd says: "Coughing and straining so weakened me that I run down in weight from 148 to 92 pounds After trying a number of remedies to no avail, One Minute Cough Cure entirely cured me." Sold at Parker's Two Drug Stores. First at Bethel. News and Observer. Having established by testimony that cannot be disproved that its troops made the last charge at Ap pomattox, and havingplaced a mon ument to mark the place where the North Carolina troops won that glory for the State, the next duty of North Carolina is to erect a mono meat on the battlefield at Bethel. where North Carolina sealed its de votion to the Confederacy by giving the first blood m the death of Henry L. W vatt, of Edgecombe county. The memorial will be dedicated on June 10th. at the spot where Wyatt was killed, on the anniversary of his death and will be erected in accord ance with directions of the General Assembly which made an appropria tion for that purpose. The commit tee in charge of the matter, is com posed of Major E. J. Hale, chairman; John rl. Thorpe, ft. M. Micks ana w B. Kyle. Won a Name of Fame. DeWitt's Little Early Risen, tbe fan.ous little pills, have been made famous by their certain yet harmless and gentle action upon the bowels and liver.

Sold, at Parkers Two Drug Stores. , Stock Co., Henderson, N. C. The Press and the Pulpit. Littleton News Reporter. Rev. George Smith of Philadelphia, took occasion sometime ago to say what an important aid to the cause of reform in that city the daily press had been aud invoked Divine influence on the press. This recognition of the usefulness of the press and the dispo sition to pray God's blessings upon the men whose lives are given for the best interest of the communities they serve in a spiritual, financial, or so cial way is so uncommon as to bring forth expressions of gratitude from many editors. Oftener the press is a subject of adverse criticism than of a prayerful consideration from those with whom the editors endeavor to co-operate. The North Carolina Press Association has among its members men who earnestly seek Divine guid ance in the work and are as devout Christians as those who serve the churches iu any capacity from the sexton to the pulpit inclusive. An editor may write one hundred articles ninety-nine of which may be in thorough accord with the sentiment of some professed leaders and the one hundredth one contrary, and the criticisms from certain quarters will be severe enough to run the editor out of business were he not conscious of the fact that he had done his duty. We repeat that there are men in North Carolina who on their knees,ask God to prompt the thoughts that guide the pen in forming matter for the ed itorial columns of their papers though many of these sons of toil have but little encouragement from the special messengers of the Master. We are glad to know that Rev. Geo. E. Smith remembered the craft at the throne of grace, but would rejoice m re to know that there were some of his kind in this section. Last Hope Vanished. When leading physicians said that W. M. Smithart, of Pekin, la., bad incurable con sumption, his last hope vanished; but Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, kept him out of his grave. He says: ''This great specific completely cured me and saved my life. Since then, 1 have used it for over ten years, and consider it a marvel ous throat and lung cure " Strictly scientific cure for Coughs, Sore Throats or Colds; sure preventive of Pneumonia. Guaranteed, 50c . and $1.00 bottles at Melville Dorsey's drag store. Trial bottle free. Deplorable Lack of Manners. Charlotte Observer. Some time ago a gentleman who is vouched for by the Columbia, (S. C.) . , j. . . "11 . 'distinguished for culture and learning," wrote to that paper in protest against the mannerless youth of the day, who congregate about church doors and theatre en trances, smoke cigarettes and stare at the women. Of course, these cal law fledglings ought to be locked up there should be no two opinions about that. But there is another view of this matter of manners. When a man surrenders his seat in a street caror on a railroad train to a woman is entitled to a nod in recognition of his courtesy, but rarely gets it; and when he meets four women abreast on a sidewalk, they ought to break ranks and give him a living chance on the edge of the paving, but they don't, and be must get off in the mud. The lack of manners is deplor able, but it is not all with tbe men. Cheated Death. Kidney trouble often ends fatally, but by choosing the right medicine, E. H. Wolfe, of Bear Grove, Iowa, cheated death. He says: ''Two years ago I had Kidney Trouble, which caused me great pain, suffering and anxiety, but I took Electric Bitters, which effected a complete cure. 'I have also found them of great benefit in general debility aad nerve trouble, and keep them constantly on hand, since, as I find they hare no equal." Melville Dorsey, druggist, guarantee them at 50c Shows t Brotherly Spirit ThomasviUe Charity and Children. The Richmond Times-Dispatch, the the leading Virginia paper, shows a brotherly spirit in its treatment of the Appomattox monument affair, and suggests that the Tar Heel and the Old Dominion scribes get togeth er in a union meeting either in this State or that. We hope the sugges tion will be taken up by President Varner and Secretery Sherrill. How would it do to have oar mid-winter meeting in Raleigh or Richmond along with the brethren from Virginia? .The Cape Fear's Coaling Station. New Berne Journal. i The revival of interest iu South port, N. C, as a coaling station, is but the natural return to a place which for many years, at intermittent periods, has been shown to the shipping and trade world, as the place for such a station. Geographically and physically Southport is an ideal location. It has not only plenty of water for har bor and anchorage purposes, but the Cape Fear bar is only limited to its depth, so far as mechanical aid will deepen it for maritime needs. The climate is ideal because ot itaJieaUht- fgfrfng aud non-malarial properties. It is never too hot in summer or too cold in winter. ' The revival of the interest in South port, and the fresh putting forth of its claims as a coaling station, has at this time the support of the city of Wilmington. This is a force which ought to prove of immense aid, and be the means of securing the railroad connection which has been the crying need, in order that Southport might be in direct communication with the coal fields of Tennessee or Virginia, or even those of North Carolina. But Southport, while the most suitable point on the Atlantic Ocean for a coaling station, being near the ocean, on a line so that steamers could avoid tbe dangers of Hatteras coaling at Southport and then fol lowing the Gulf stream in its course for Europe, besides these advantages Southport as an established port with railroad connection with the West, gives North Carolina a seaport from which can be shipped and ex ported its own products, and to save the transportation charges which are now being paid railroads to haul these products to Norfolk or Balti more. The establishment of Southport with good railroad connections means the building up of the lower Cape Fear section, and placing North Carolina among the export States, and this being true makes it the pa triotic duty of every North Carolin ian to assist the successful promot ion and safe establishment of Southport, first as a coaling station with rail road connection, and the rest will certainly follow. Frightful Suffering Relieved. Suffering frightfully from the virulent pois ons of undigested food, C. G. Grayson, of Lula, Miss., took Dr. King's New Life Pills, "with the result," he writes, "that I was cured." All stomach and bowel disorders give way to their tonic, laxative properties. 25c at Melville Dorsey's drug store, guaran teed. Forty Years Ago. Charlotte Observer, 10th. Yesterday was the fourteenth anni versary of the day on which the Con federate forces under Gen. Lee sur rendered to Gen. Grant, the com mander of the Federal troops, and retired from the unequal contest. It is a long period in the life of a people; it is a short period in the life of a country. The South, forty years ago was a seence of devastation and de moralization; to-day it has been re stored aud is instinct with the life of a progressive, thrifty people. Such have been its recuperative powers. It was a sad day, forty years ago,when the disbanded, hungry and foot-sore soldiers of the Confederacy turned toward their wasted homes, without heart or hope;but they retrieved their fortunes, and the South of to-day is ; more prosperous and powerful than in any former time. It is profitable to recur to the years of war and waste : and to the succeeding years of pover i tv and hardship, but the subject is not one to dwell upon. Our people bore themselves gloriouslv in the ! years of the conflict, but no more so than in the years that followed; and now, even in this brief period, they stand militant, unabashed, un ashamed on account of the fact that in the war they failed.

Germantown Gautte. There lives in Buffalo, N. Y., a man who is widely known as the proprie tor of the Pierce Family Medicines. Dr. Pierce has lately come into added publicity because ofthe unwarranted attack made upon his medicinea by a certain periodieal.which charged that they were not what they were repre sented to be by the doctor. He promptly met the attack by suing the owners of the journal In question lor 1200,000 damages. Upon the filing of this suit a retraction was printed by the editors, who acknowledged that their statement waa entirely without foundation, but notwith standing this covert attacks have still been made upon Dr. Pierce and his business. Dr. Pierce's business, which has its center in Buffalo, where he has a large laboratory known as the World's Medical Dispensary, for the manufacture of his world-famed fam ily medicines the "Favorite Pre scription" and the "Golden Medical Discovery" and a hospital, known as the Invalids' Hotel for the treatment of the various ailments by a large staff of physicians and surgeons,is the result of thirty-eight years of honor nble and honest dealing with the pub lic. He is a man of honor, respected in the community and enjoying the confidence of his fellow citirens. They know that be is neither a quack nor a charlatan, but that he has attained success in life because he deserves it. Comley's History of New York State containing biographical sketches of the men who "have given wealth, stamina, aud character" to the Em pire State, gives a sketch ot the dis tinguished physician, from which the following brief extracts are made: "Every nation owes its peculiar char acter, its prosperity in brief, every thing that distinguishes it as an in dividual nation to the few men be longing to it who have the courage to step beyond the boundaries pre scribed by professional traditions, or social customs Of this class of men the medical profession has fur nished a distinguished example in the successful and justly-celebrated phy sician, Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., and any history treating of the industries of the Empire State would be incomplete without a sketch of his useful and earnest work Spec ially educated for the profession he early supplemented his studies by en tensive and original research in it's several departments. Devoting bis attention to certain specialties of the science he has so carefully investigat ed, he has been rewarded in a remark able degree. In these specialties he has become a recognized leader. Not a few of the remedies prescribed by liinr, have, it is said, been adopted and prescribed by physicians in their private practice. His pamphlets and larger works have been received as useful contributions to medical knowledge That his success is real, is evidenced by the fact that his reputation, as a man and physi cian, does not deteriorate; and the fact that there is a steadily increasing demand for his medicines,provesthat they are not nostrums, but reliable remedies for disease." Dr. Pierce's establishment at Buf falo, is one of the show points of that flourishing city, and is well worth a visit just to see how modern medi cines, even though they be "patent," are compounded with the utmost skill by trained chemists and on the most scientific principles. It is also worth while for the purpose of seeing the methods followed by which each applicant for aid, whether he be a correspondent or a patient at the hospital, secures the care of eminent specialists in medicine and surgery. Once these things are seen it will be speedily acknowledged by the moat skeptical that all patent medicine businesses are not the frauds which some careless papers have declared them to be.
