I likewise ask the ministers of all churches ou that day to especially hold up before the people the bless ings to come from a life of sober ness aud industry, peace and good order, and by freely giving to the cause of charity, thus making us therefore loyal citizens and better Christians. I also implore all, while enjoying their holiday, to do nothing that will tarnish the fair name of the State or dishonor God, but that all they do may increase their love of country aud devotion to their Maker. In Witness, whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great 8"al of North Carolina to be-aflixed.

Value Of Good Roads. Charlotte Jsewa. Were you to pick up any citizen of Mecklinburg county who is well informed on conditions of the coun ty, and ask him what he considered the greatest advantage Mecklenburg county has over the other counties of the state and country at large and from what source he considers more blessings and benefits arise, without a doubt he would reply, "from her good roads:" There is not a doubt but what this answer would be correct. The public roads of this county have been for years and are now the chief source of pride to our citizens and it is through this channel that we have received more valuable ad vertising than by other means. The citizens of this county are soon to have an opportunity to make these roads still better, to ex tend them further, and w appeal to every citizen interested in the welfare and upbuilding of his coun ty, to go to the polls on election day and vote for the bond issue, which means progress as against stagnation and decline. In connection with the blessings arising from good roads the New York Herald, of a recent date, Kays the following tribute to lecklenburg county roads: "In an address at Mobile, Ala., Joan Caft, said that the cost to the farmers of the South is fifty cents on each bats of cotton for an ' average haul of eight miles. ' "If there were good roads the cost would be reduced to sixteen ' cents a bale. Estimating a crop of ' .. . of missionary woik must be done among our people. After all the practical and forcible, as well as eloqueut and patriotic, speeches by such men as Scarborough, Mclver, Alderman, Aycock and Joyner, and the countless educational addresses by men of lesser note but equal en thusiasm and devotion to the public schools, there are plenty of men in North Carolina right now who are refusing to send their children to school, though they can do so without money or price. They have a totally false idea of the meaning of the word. They think that to educate a boy means to raise him out of his class, and they appear to dread seeing their children enjoying advantages that were denied to them. They forget that it is harder now than ever for a young man or woman to make their way in the world without an education, and that when they re fuse to send their children to school thev are committing a great sin for which their children will tiud it hard to forgive them. It all comes about because of a false idea of the meaning of the word and we sug gest to our readers that they begin at the beginning iu their educational addresses, and show their hearers that education means strength and light and help, rather than a spring board from which a boy may leap out of the set among whom he was reared. They need to know that an educated man is not proud but humble. The bigoted fool who re fuses to speak to his neighbors i3 not that way because he is educated, but because he isn't. A shallow draught may intoxicate the brain, but drinking largely sobers us again. There are people in this very town of Thomas ville who would lather their boys would loaf than go to the graded school. They ought to be led to see their sin and made to tremble for the fearful responsibil ity they take upon themselves in thus standing betwe2u tlvrir children and the light. So long as parents look upon education as simply a step-ladder to social ambition (aud iu North Carolina there are thous ands of people who believe that) how, in the Dame of reason, are we to get their children into the schools? This class of people might learn a valuable lesson on this point from the negrDes; and unless they learn it soon thev will have to learn it when it ia too late to right the wrong thev have done.

He says,: "I have used Vinol In my fam ily an'l in my general practice with the most satisfactory results. It is exceedingly beneficial to those afflict ed with bronchial or pulmonary dis eases and to create strength." The reason Vinol is so far superior to old fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions, is because It is a real cod 'liver preparation from which all the useless oil has been eliminated and tonic iron added. We ask every weak, thin, run down, aervous and aged person in town, and all those suffering from chronic colds, coughs and weak lungs, to try Vinol on our guarantee.
