North Carolina Honored With rlore
Awards at the Worlds Fair Than
All the Other South Atlantic States
Combined.
"The Worlds Fair Commission

North Carolina" says Secretary Bru-

have no idea Of the immense work that
was done by this State at Chicago.
They cannot realize it. North Caro-

WILL NOT SUPPORT RUSSELL

The Republican candidate for G. "
ernor, D. l.. Russell, does no, seem to
hold good hand with the prominent
Republicans Of Charlotte. To Meas
reporter Mr.. a. Brady, cashier of the
Loan and Savings Bank, states that he
will vote for Col. J. S. Carr, if nomi-
mated, IN preference to the nominee of
his party. This coming from the for
mer head of the party in this county is
regarded as one straw showing the way
the wind is going to blow in Novem-
Der. In other words it will be a sad
day for Uncle Russell.

Dreadful
Malaria.

There are numerous diseases having
their origin in the blood, but which on
the surface do not appear to be blood
disease Such is Malaria, which is
poison breathed into the lungs, and thus
taken into the blood and circulated, I'M
buirg the entire system with its morbid
effects. Those who have suffered from
this dreaded disease know what life
less condition ensues and how the vitality
is wasted away so that death is often
caused by some simple malady, because
of the low ebb to which life is reduced
by this poverty of blood. This condl-
ton of the blood often gives rise to
boils, carbuncles, assesses and ulcers,
and not infrequently causes catarrh,
bronchitis, and even consumption.

HITLER BOND BILL PASSED.
THIS IS SENSIBLE TALK.

Vice President Stevenson is in de-
mand at college commandments
And he always talks to good purpose
imparting wholesome advice and teach
ing practical truths 10 young men
and others. ust previous to COM
ing to Chapel Hill last week the Vice
President addressed the graduates of
the Maryland University Law School,
and while his remarks were intended
particularly for young lawyers, he gave
expression to some thoughts, with ref
ence to the duty Of good men to
participate in politics, that are worthy
of serious consideration by law -abid-
ing and liberty loving citizens geIer-
ally The Vice President said:
Elf it be true that the lawyer has
higher aims, then upon his shoulders
must OF necessity rest no small part
OF the responsibilities which attach to
citizenship in free government. The
teaching that he who would attain the
greatest need of success in a calling
which has as its chief corner stone
character and intelligence must cast
to the winds all responsibilities Of gov
eminent, take no concern as to who
controls the primaries or the Caucus
III d word practically abdcate his citi-
ztnshIp-must bear pernicious fruit in
government of the people. Can it
be doubted that many of the abuses in
the practical administration of public
affairs have sprung from The teachings
| have mentioned
,'If there be foundation for the
complaint that politics., especially
IN our large cities, has reached low
cob, may It's origin not be traced to
the causes Indicated Is it of rare
occurrence that those who make most
vehement complaint of extravaganza
and corruption IN public adminlstra-
ton-especlally IN municipal govern
ment-are those who pride themselves
upon the fact that they have mo 10, or
part in the matter, and whose dignity
would be offended by the suggestion
that they attend in person a caucus or
convention? As between such-be
they ever 50 well equipped for the dis
cusslon of public questions or the adj
mlnlstratlon of public afairs-and the
practical politician, though he stand
upon ever SO low a plane, the latter
Will always control. If it be true that
politics has become, with large class,
a mere business, has not the time come
when men of greater opportunities
and OF higher aims should, even at the
sacrifice of personal comfort and con-
venlence, exert a more potent influ-
ence in public affairs?"

When lovely women OverWOrks,

When lovely women Overworks,
And finds too late her health gives way,
What charm can soothe her melancholy?
What art can take the pain away?
One of the Saddest cases a physician
meets, is that of some sweet, modest
woman, who IN striving to make her home
life happy. has overtaxed her delicate
constitution, until her health is so COM
pletely broken down, that her every mo-
ment is misery. Natural feelings of del
icacy, prompt her to defer consulting a
physician until the most serious results
have ensued. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription removes the necessity of any en-
barassing consultation with a physician.
DR.. Pierce las devoted long active life
to the closest study of wOman's diseases,
and no specialist in the world is better
fitted to prescribe than he. Complete di-
rectiOns are given with each bottle. For
periodical pains, bearing down sensations,
nervous debility and all uterine disorders,
''FavOrite Prescription is sure cure.

SHOWED PATRIOTISM.
The County Commissioners Decided
the School Book Question in the
Interest of RIGHT and the Pe0nla

The County Commissioners Decided
the School Book Question in the
Interest of Right and the People.
Our readers are familiar with the
contemplate, lying insinuations in
spired by CHM & Co., Yankee pub
fishers of school books, against Major
Finger, Superintendent Scarborough
and other State officers before the late
Legislature on the matter of the
adoption of text books for the public
sch ,ols OF North Carolina.
Up to that time and even now
everybody who has anything to do
with school books are satisfied with
the books But under the peculiar
composition of the Legislature and
the awful pressure brought by CHM
& Co., through their agents, the adop
ton was changed from the State
Board to the County Commissioners.
Thus far lying insinuations had
succeeded; then the compaign began.
Since then Yankee agents have been
moving right and left, employing
nearly every graded school superinten
dent and those they could not employ
they attempted to SANDER.
The fight was long drawn out on
Monday, but all had to be heard. AT
the conclusion of the speeches the
Board went into executive session and
voted unanimously 10 adopt the list of
books per the State list and now in
use in the public schools.
The Standard cannot congratulate
too warmly every member of the Board
of Cabarrus in rising above all inf1u
ences and arguments and taking an
action that meets the approval of
every person that knows suitable
school books and that saves people an
enormous expense and the school an
endless confusion.
The action of the commissions will
be applauded by the public, who pre-
fer 10 use books by Southern authors
as far as possible and who resent with
postiveness insults offered honorable,
honest North Carolinians by emissaries
from the North.
In re-adopting the books per tine
State list, the commissions have saved
the people of Cabarrus county over
$4,000, retained the best books pub
lished for the purpose and defended
the honor and name of trusted North
Carolinians.-Concord Standard.
What is said in the above of Ca
barrus &C unity applies with equal force
to every other one. 1t is matter of
sincere congratulation that the CON-
missioners throughout the State pur-
sued such wise and sensible course.
Next to the saving to the parents and
school children the GOLD LEAF finds
its chief cause for rejoicing in the
fact that such an INSCRIPTIONS and
high handed concern as CHM &
Co. met with ignominious defeat.
Their methods are not those of honor
able people and they will not be sane
toned by honest men in North Caro-
lima. There Is no need of them or
their books in this State, fact they
are no doubt fully convinced of by
this time.
