DELAYED CORRESPONDENCE FOR OUR LAST ISSUE. A Vole For Road. Why Not, KO. Jan. 22 1806 Mr Jfinitor: The time is coming and now is when we shall hear the Toice of the son of man, and one thing that I think should be sound ed most, and loudest, in regard to n .lbhc affairs, is eood roads in Kan doL h county. We are able ir build good rorids and why not do it and quit this plan of taxing the people to hir j some fellow to build mud piles and mud holes in the road, for the people who have to go to market, or else wnere, to pumsn tne pooraumo brutes that draw them. Now 1 am reliably informed that the present road tax amounts to about $6,000.00 per annum. Just think for one moment, Mr Header or Mr Voter, Tax payer or what ever you may be, can you expect to see good roads in Randolph at that and the piesent system. If you please. I would like to make just two suggestions stop and think the whole thing over, and stop pul ling money out of the peoples pock ets for nothing; or go at it in a busi ness like way. I for one am in tor good roads and would say issue $100,000 in bonds and limit them so that the people can pay them and go to macadamizing. We are paying enovgh road tax each year to pay the interest on $100,000 in bonds. Had you given that a thought? By the time the $100,000 is prop erly spent the people will begin to realize the benefit of good roads. Gentlemen of Randolph, wake up on the subject of good roads and a long pull and a pull all together, then we soon can have that which we all desire and need so much. Lets hear from others on the sub ject L S. Pltgih Items. Mr and Mrs 3 W Parks, of Hal lison, visited at Mr Labon Slacks, Saturday and Sunday. Miss Lnetta Newsom, of Randle man, is visiting her mother, Mrs Mary Newsom, this week. Mrs Isiah Parks, who has been very ill with typhoid fever, is im proving. Mr Joseph Parks is the happy father of a new boy. Messrs Mathew and Noah Cagle saw a large deer near Bransons Mill one day last week. Miss Minnie Williams, ,. . - is teaching near Michfield, visited her home Saturday and Sunday. The little son of Mrs Crissie Luther died January 23th, from scarlet fever. Mr and Mrs C O Bean entertain ed at an enjoyable birthday dinner last Son day. Mr and Mrs Moon bt Franklinsvills. Mr and Mrs Calvin Moon, of Cof feeville, Arkansas, are visiting friends and relatives in Franklinville. Mr Moon is a son of the late John Moon, and brother of the late Hen ry Moon of this place and was rais ed in this community. He left here when a young man about 35 years ago and located in Indianna and returned in two years to marry Miss Jane Gibson, a daughter of th late Jessie Gibson, and took her back to his Indianna home where they remained about ten years. He then moved to uoueeviue, Arkansas, where they have spent the pat twenty-three years. They are iu good health and looking well and their many friends here are glad to shake hands. Mrs Moon's mother is living here and also three sisters Mrs W H Tippett, Mrs M G Buie and Mrs G C Cox. Mr Moon visit ed this county 25 years ago and Mrs Moon 14 years ago. We are always glad to see them. Mlllboro. RF 0. Nol. Mrs J W Pugh, who has been ill for so long, does not seem to improve. Marion Trogdon has purchased J W Pugh's interest in their mill, and is putting up a foundry at the mill. Mr John M Allred, known as "Little John," has sold his real es tate near Lineberry to Allred & Allred, merchants at Lineberry. Mr W C Eouth, better known as "Democratic Bill," is in poor health. His many friends sympathize with him in his affliction. The convicts that were to come to Gray's Chapel by the last of August to work, the roads in that vicinity, are still missing, but we have not lost a great deal for the present sys tem of working roads is a nuisance. I am glad to see that Randlemaa is taking a 6tep in the right direc tion, and we must continue to agi tate the question of Igood roads un til our people become interested and then something will be done. Let us ask the next Legislature to allow us to issue bonds for money to expend on our pub lic roads. It will give every body employment who wants it and make times good, in addition to giv ing us good roads. If we had spent what our convict labor ha cost us in the right way, we would row have several miles of good ' roads in our county; but some will say they are opposed to making a debt for our grand children to pay. I would say to all such that if our grand fathers had given us good roads, we would now be able to pay for them. Instead of pulling our horses to death through, the mud to make a dollar, we could pull three times as much and make three dollars where we now make one. Trinity Nsws. Miss Bessie Dunlap, who has been the efficient teacher of Latin, and English Literature, in Trinity High School, has resigned her position to become principal of a school in Nor wood. Miss Dunlap will be greatly missed here, as she was not only a good teacher, but was a universal favorite. Miss McCullers, who has been teaching music in Trinity High School, left for her home on Satur day. The birthday reception at Mrs Nannie Craven's on Saturday even ing was well attended. There were about twenty-five guests present. Refreshments were served in two courses, ihe gifts were numerous and very beautiful, and in this case it attests the popularity of the host ess as well as the generosity and good will pervading the entire com munity. Mr be Wolfe, a R F D Inspector, has been here the past week seeing about establishing two more routes from Trinity postoffice. Mr aud Mrs McJNeely, and Mrs Prof Johnson, of High Point, and Mrs Winningham, of Greensboro, attended Mrs Craven's reception on on Saturday night. Mr Carson English, of South Carolina, is here on a Visit to his mother. Dr English was for a long time station agent at this place, and his friends are always glad to see him. Items from Spero. ' Our little village is on a boom. There are now two stores here in full blast. Mr Kanoy has large stock of goods and is trading rapid ly. Miss Pearl Neighbors has a position as book keeper and clerk. We are sorry that Mr John Har relson, a good neighbor, has left us and gone to Moore County. Our public school is flourishing here, under the management of W R Ashworth, a teacher of 33 years' ex perience. There is much life in and around Spero. There is also a mill going up here for sawing blocks and chair timber. Mr Brunnsr on Immigration." Secretary T K Brunner, of the State Department of Agriculture, has sent letters to the officials of the Southern, Seaboard Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line, asking that they co-operate in the movement re cently launched at Greensboro for the setting on foot of a system for attracting desirable immigrants to this State, especially by clubbing together of industrial societies, chambers of commerce aud other organizations of the State in keep ing an agent in Europe and having some trans-Atlantic steamship touch at Norfolk periodically to bring im migrants that are induced to ship for any of the various sections that my enter in co-oparatiou with the effort. The railroads are asked to give their influence for the inducement of a steamship to come direct to Norfolk. They may also be asked to contribute or make concessions in the way of rates for immigrants from Norfolk to points to which the immigrants securing may de sire to locate. A Sure Cure. There may be, and is, wide differ ence of opinion as to Dr Osier's limit to age of usefulness, but he has a cure for gout that is guaran teed not to fail. It is as follows: "First, pick a handkerchief from the pocket of a spinster who never wished to wed; second, wash the handkerchief in an honest miller's pond; third, dry it on the bridge of a person who never was covetous; fourth, send it to the shop of a physician who never killed a patient; fifth, mark it with a lawyer's ink who never cheated a client; and, sixth, apply it hot to the gout tor mented part. A speedy cure will follow." In a recent magazine article Dr Henry Van Dyke, one of the best known and admired writers ou ethetical subjects, has written een siblj on "The School of Life." When a young man graduates he has taken only preparatory steps in his education the schooling goes on through all the remaining years of his existence, and is finished so far as this world is concerned only when life ends. EARTH ROADS. After Betas Properly Coastraeted Thar Maat Ba Oared far. The fact that we have been building roada In one form and another since our country waa first opened up and nave today but a very small percent age of., them that may be called per. manent rouds makes It evident tbat it will be many years before the earth road ceases to be, aaya Good Roada Magazine. An earth road when It la properly constructed and drained Is good road, but to keep It good requires constant care and attention. It la quite out of the question to think tbat a road once built will take care of It self. In order to load up to building stone roads communities should first give proper attention to the dirt road. Grades should be established, and If the present road official is, by lack of training or makeup, unfitted for the work of road building his place should be given to one more competent. When, however, a competent official Is found be should be kept lu office Indefinitely. First of all, road machinery should be purchased In order to get the best results with the least expenditure of money. It Is J nut as absurd to attempt to build roads without proper tools as it would be to go back to the days of the old spinning wheel and scythe. In all parts of the country there Is a grow ing sentiment in favor of changing from the labor tax to the money sys tem. Great progress Is being made In this direction, and it will not be long before practically every section of the country will be on the money tax basis. Then and not till then will the Im provement in earth roada become uni versal. Professor Pa pis to Balld Good Roada Professor M. I. Pupin of Columbia college, the Inventor of the ocenn tele phone, who is building a largo villa and expending thousands of dollars devel oping hundreds of ocres of rocky and marshy land In Norfolk, N Y., has of fered laborers there $2 a day for nine hours' work end J5 a day for teams to work on his place, says the New York Herald. As a road builder Mr. Pupin has few equals, sny Norfolk people. First be lays old trees across the road way to be improved, then a layer of rocks and stones, then the branches of the young trees and lastly a heavy coat of gravel and small stones, which grad ually work their way lown. The re sult is a bard and immovable roadbed which the waters cannot tear to pieces Bad Roada Did It. A farmer lad, bo we've been told. With a team of home strong Drove down the road with a heavy load. While singing his merry song. But his mirth in song was not so long. For his horses gave a leaD: As he ran amuck in the mud he stuck Clear up to his axles dep. BAD ROADS DID IT. And a wheelman gay went out one day . For a Joyful, merry spin. With the weather bright his heart waa light As he left the country Inn. But he went not far when h felt a jnr Which started his troubles ami cares. He was laid up III. whllo the doctor's bill Came In with the one for repairs. BAD ROADS DID IT.
