But the climax of all ignora it men is the one that cant see how a man wh- has served as Con ity Treasurer cau serve mi a finance "omittee after his term as Treasurer has expired. Of ci)ure he dont have to approve his own report. It'll he his liiisi iess to look after the next man's rejiorts, a id if his reports are to lie ho ,ed aftr the other two mm on ihe the committee could do it.

Aiut i a purty party that is so dogguned hungry for olhce that it raises a racket 1-cau.-e it caiut get one ( its men on the Finance committee? Tie reople had the Republicans on iheir Finance emmittee in full blast in the nineties, and they dont want any more of their lina'icin business. They financed everything in debt, in other words they ran the plow so deep in the ground that the Democrats had to dig a hole to find the handles, when they were ' elected Go to the onts, you sluggard, learn how to bite decently aud be wise! I wi mler who the sorebacks want on the Finance Committee Jim Young, A lie Mid dleton or Isaac Smith? Allright, sorebaeks, you can name era when the people put you in p.iwer; but just now the people dont want you. ilaybe you would like to have a carpet-bagger or some other idiot. But i's not your time. Just be patient, litile fel lows. It has been said that every dug has his day, but a fool dont have that much iisrtiirai.ee. Mike Diiocanshield would like to ask every trullilul Kepublican, Democrat., Socialist, sorelfcick, carpet bagger, who wishes to take a look at the books of the county treasurer, to do so at onee. They a e oprn six davs in every week to nublie or private inspection, and we want to ask why all doubters have not already looked at them? They dont want to do it, for they know that their peep at the books might biint a comparison with the hooks from 18110 to PJ00. Ore thing certain. Will Miller was able to balance his books, and the lie publicans cant boast that they had such a man. Well, aon aint it a pity that Mister Bla"k burn had to run to Washington to keep out of the way of the officers? People oughtenl to he bard on him. for he dident get the support of the Republican machine, and some do not think he is bright anyway. He is like some other little hollow heads he tried to make it appear that the Democrats had done worong and he failed to make good hiit claims. Its mighty hard to make North Carolinians forget the two advents of the Republican party in North Carolina when the carpet-baggers commenced com ing, and the times from 1896 to 1900. Uncle Pat, did you know that the Re publicans elected Mister Adams as United States' Senator? They gave him about a dozen votes! early every Republican in the Caw-cuss at Kaleigh voted for him. They helled tiieir caw-cuss behind closed doors, and wouldent let many people know what they wan a doing. I dont blame em, I'd be ashamed of it, too .' The Governor of South Dakota has just said in a message to the Legislature of bis State that it was a dirty trick for Mary Ann and Dan to trick his state into collecting repudiated bonds from North Carolina especially when the bonds -were issued by carpet-baggers just - after the Civil War. Any state that fool with carpet-bagger and traitors will always have trouble. A carpet baeaer is a man (or a piece of one) that has run out of business in his own state, and cone to another state to try to run things. A traitor or scallawag is a man or some other two-legged animal that takes up with a carpet-bacKer. J lie people of tins state dont want any more of ifary Ann or Dan's kind. The South has suffered awfully from fan hlesg, disloyal, false-hearted, trait orous, perfidious, deceitful men, whose main business has been to run down, defame, malign, decry, villify, slander, misrepresent and abuse our own native men who have served the public honorably, fuch has been the greediness, rapaciousuess a d in -sa iable thirst for office and a chmicR to plunder the public that they have never ceased to pievaricat. dodge, cavil and quibble about the public acts of clean men, and make false insinuations about their unimpeachable characters. A roaue is first to ciy "thiii", a I laekmailer lirst to eiy "crookedness," and a hyp-wit is first to yell "let us look at Uioks" that are all ways open : for public inspeciiiui.

Although since the use of automo biles became widespread lu a consid erable section of the country a good deal of money has been expended on the Improvement of roads, very much more must be devoted to the purpose If long distance traveling Is to be pro moted, says Harper's .'Weekly.

Made, as it was, under the supervision of en gineers of tbe regular army, this high way has been compared for solidity with the military thoroughfares cre ated by the Romans, tbe remains of which are still turned to account In many parts of Europe. Macadam Road Maintenance. Neglect to properly maintain a mac adam road after it has been built Is one of the worst enemies of road re form of which we have knowledge, says Good Roads Magazine. Many cases are ou record of where a stone road has gone to pieces within a very short time after Its completion owing to negligence in giving the matter of repair due attention. Experience shows that a road once properly built can be maintained Indefinitely by making prompt repair as soon as a weak spot Is discovered. Tbe practice In Euro pean countries could well be followed In this country. A road requires care and attention for Its upkeep the same as a railroad track. Tbe original cost of a macadam road Is too great to al low It to go to pieces within a year or so and then practically rebuild It Most failures are due to the fact that 60 ade quate provision for repairs has been made by the county or state. Since roads cannot take care of themselves, they must be looked after constantly If rebuilding Is to be avoided. Prepare For Fnll and Winter. As the season approaches for heavy rainfalls and the consequent muddy roads It Is well to call tbe attention of road supervisors to the necessity for seeing to It that ditches and culverts are open to allow the free passage of Wood's Seeds Seed S Oats Rede&ned Stocks.
