A GOOD ARTICLE OX GOOD
J* ROADS. |
^^Tbe Hickory Democrat recently
published an article by R. L. Shuford
ot Catawba county on the subject,
"Why Catawba Should Build Good
Roads." This article was awarded a
prise at the Catawba county fair, and
is on* of the summaries of good
road* argu?oht, from a practical
standpoint, that we have seen. One
thing the writer says Is that good
roads would bring about a better un
derstanding between th? county and
town people. That Is quite true, and
would be of great mutual advantage.
With understanding cornea sympathy
and cooperation. Here are some of I
the writer's facts and figures:
i A farm that has 100 acres in cul
tivation requires at least two teams
to cultivate this site farm. In Ca
jawba the farms are, on an average,
eight miles from market or railroad;
put the difference of the amount of
work dotib by each tiBrse kl Is, haul
ing ov*f gobd roads and bad'ooeB,
' which mak.s $20. A i'arm of tbl.
usually bas two wagons and two
other vehicles of some kind. Put the
aavlng at *2.50 each and you hsve
the saving of $10 more, which will
make $30. Tbe road tax on an aver
age fardrof this size, at 20 cents per
hundred, will not be over $3.
The objection, made by some peo
ple, that we are too poor to build
good roads In a mistake. The fact Is
we are too poor not to build them.
Increasing,- traffic makes the unim
proved roads worse and worse. On
them the cost of transportation is
constantly Increasing, and, unless
something is done, competition will
force us out of business. There is
not a single county in the State,
where road improvement has been
started, that the people are not anx
ious to carry It on as rapidly as pos
sible.
KOI NDATIONS THAT LAST.
(New York World.)
Mr. Rockefeller's benefaction will
be considered for some time .to com*
In the light shed by Standard 01J.
Motives will be ascribed. Doubts will
be expressed. The money taint will
be suggested.
Yet it Is reasonably certain that In
due season ih** good which this splen
did gift must accomplish will be sep
arated in rtien's'mlnds from the meth
ods of the grinding monopoly through
which the Rockefeller - fortune was
accumulated. The hundreds of mil
lions which go ro establish the new
Foundation for the advancement of
civilization, the spread of knowledge
and the relief of suffering will not
make privilege, extortion and monop
oly more tolerable. That much Is
sure. Properly used every one of
these dollars win work forever
against a repetition of such wrongs.
This is not the only Foundation
whose bed-rock cannot be scrutinized
agreeably. Empires, thrones, aris
tocracies. society Itself, rest too often
upon beginnings of which no one Is
proud. Fortunes gained In slaves. In
strange practices on the Spanish
Main, In smuggling, In carrying rum
t6 aborigines, in extortion. In con
quest. in downright piracy, long ago
furnished energy, culture and devo
tion on the fight side in many a fight
for liberty and progress Without
money derived from sources now
looked upon with disfavor some of
the world's greatest heroes could not
have rounded out their careers.
The offenses of Standard Oil are
ohe thing. The benevolent employ
ment of some of its "hundreds of mll
?? Hons Is another. Mr. Rockefeller's
gift does- not blot out In any degree
the record made by his corporation
or relieve him of the fullest respon
sibility for his part la Its affairs. It
stands by Itself and Is to be judged .
% ?d uM. _p.ly. Iff
greatly froq^MP# to ags. In many
respectB it is a desperate game even
?o*. Those who ?tt aoctj nrtlliM
lv s^d thoee who heap It In mleerly
fashion a re still la evidenca There
should be praise of good deeds not
only tor the encouragement of the
well-disposed bat tor the instruction
of thoee who never felt a generouf
impulse or recognised an obligation
to their fellows.
The Foundations that crumble are
thoee whose superstructure sustains
nothing but gAed and injustice. Tha
Foundations that last, no matter b f
whom laid, are those that bear aloft
the true beacons of civilisation and
progress.
These are facts which neither sy
cophancy nor rancor can change.

This section of the country Is truly
biest. We have a genial, equitable
climate where the long rainy season,
as in the tropics, does not depress
the soul, nor the heavy anows that re
main all winter long as la the North
to freeze the marrow of the bones.
The floods and storms visiting other;
sections are unknown here. Our
laboring classes are aontented and
tbere is little real want, for our gen
erous people help to look after the
real necessities of their neighbors In
providing employment for them.
Therefore, the frightful,- - terrible
strikes that afflict other parts of the
country are unknown here.

PAPER8.
President Taft, fretful under the
critlcjam heaped upon him, and rea
lizing that he Is losing the hold upon
the people and his party, scores news
papers. This Is hardly fair to the
newspapers, since they have, almost
without exception, been very friendly
to Mr. Taft. The truth Is that Mr.
Taft was confronted with a stupen
dous proposition and didn't know
how to handle it.

This Is a gritn old pagan virtue
much needed In these days. Our
privileged youth are in danger of hav
ing all hardihood cultivated out of
them. They need to be taught resis
tance and the houI's defiance to mat
ter. The life within should be train
ed to graRple with things without.
Early, often and latq^should the les
son be taught our children. Not the
easy thing, but the right thing, is the
thing to do. Thus life wlll_be dis
armed of three-fourths of its terror,!
petty annoyances will be put to flight.'
and our youth will be shamed out of
the whining habit. What right has
the one who enters into the peace
others have fought for to beg off from
disagreeable things. The things one
does not like to do. whatever else
goes undone, should be done. The
pleasant, easy thing one bo likes to
do is the thing to renounce, to de
spise. The story of the Spartan
youth, who stood unmoved while the
young wolf stolen and concealed un
der his mantle, was clawing out his
vitals, should have application to the
youth of today. Out of It should
spring the fortitude that would make
forbearance In the interest of higher
things, if not easy, still welcome.
Surely Israel is weak when It con
cedes the stalwart virtues to pagan
ism. and arrogates to Itself only the
soft virtues of patience, submission.
Too little has been said and felt con
cerning the splendid triumph of hu?
man will of our martyrs, the defiance
to suffering on the part of their sen
sitive natures. Spirituality, if any
thing, applies a power to resist. It is
a force that has not the power of con
tinuance. -Nothing but a mastery of
the grind of drudgery will put on
edge upon conscience that will last.
WORK WORK FOR WOMEN.
The United States government la
said to be experiencing difficulty In
setting good men to^take the Joba as
census enumerators even at the
princely salary of two dollars a day.
A* a cure for this unfortunate mal
ady a man whose name perhaps It is
as well not to mention, comes forward
with the , ungallant suggestion that
these cheap position* be given to
Gracefully avoiding the 1
question whether women should be
asked to work for smeller wi?ec than
men. why shouldn't women make
good census enumerators? They are
fully as capable of adding columns
of figures as men. and they are much
better at making calls. They could
get valuable statistics about clothes,
servants, diseases and the ptlce of
butter, and the bablss could be kissed
as well as counted.
RETIRING MR. CANNON.
^ Congressman Gardner, of Massa
chusetts. ts authority for the ajats
ment that "the uppermost wish of the
President" is that Speaker Cannon
should retire. Mr. OArdner Is not an
admirer of Mr. Cannon, perhaps he
has misunderstood or misinterpreted
the President ' ;v.!i .
When Mr. Taft wants anything
done in Congress he sends for Messrs.
Cannon and Aldrich. It la a reason
able inference that If he wished one
or both of these" gentlemen to retire
he would say to some time when they
are at the White House receiving aad
giving counsel. They established
their legislative system some years
ago under Mr. Roosevelt, and It
would be a great surprise to them If!
any mere President asked ttfem to
retire. , . **

Ah, when I first began to plant
' Life's garden close, 1 did not know,
(For I was young and ignorant)
What choice of seeds I ought td
sow. . %

And many things | planted there,
Alas I turned out but barren seeds.
And others died for want of care,
And many more proved noxious |
weeds.
But in the mldmoet place of all
A little slip grew, unaware.
And- it had burgeoned fair and tall
Before 1 ka*1 1 Hlfct it was there.
Around its head the sunlight drew,
?The Bweet earth drew around ltsj

And fairer still in form It grew
To bud, to bloeeom and to fri*it.
And now, so radiant it grows,"
The garden Is a magic bower ?
Spaces of perfume and of rose,
Soft-veiled with beauty and wlthj

TOWER 'OF BABEL.
Tradition* as to the Height of the
Famous Structure.
The tfctual height at Which the last^
stone of that famous structure, the
tower of Babel, rested, cannot on ac
count of the remoteness of the times
at which It .is said to have existed,
ever become more than a matter of
merest conjecture. Herodotus, who
lived about 1,700 years after that
"great spiral way to heaven" is said
to .have been attempted, says that he
saw at Babylon a structure consisting
of eight towers raised one above an
other, each seventy-Ave feet in
height, but whether this ruin was the
remains of the tower of Babel It was
even then impossible to ascertain.
Herodotus, usually minutely exact in
his writings, leaves us in ignorance
ias to how the upper level of each of
these seventy-flve foot towers was
j reached from the level below.
As might be expected, even in tra
dition, a wide difference of opinion
exists as to the height of the tower.
Most orientalists maintain that Ood
did not put a stop to the work until
the tower had reached a height of
10.000 fathoms, or about twelve
miles. In Ceylonese tradition. It is
said to have been as high as 20,000
elephants, each standing one above
the other. St. Jerome asserts on the
authority of persons who had exam
ined the ruins that It did not reach a
