moyim; for mood roads.
In almost all the States, North
Carolina excepted, where the legis
latures have been is session this
winter ac tion has been taken in re
ference to road improvement. Mas
sachusetts, for example, h; work
ed out quite an elaborate system of
State aid in road building, and a
plan has been developed in Ohio
which has some excellent features,
lioth are interesting as offering
possible solutions to this much
vexed problem in North Carolina.
The Massachusetts plan provides
fo- a larg State loan, the bonds to
run thirty years and to be negotiat
ed at the lowest rate of interest
probably ; per cent. In applying
the funds they are to be distributed
among the various counties accord
ing to the road mileage of each.
Steam road-rollers and stone-crushers
are to be purchased first, as the
county commissioners may think
are needed. Then the money is to
be expended in a survey, straight
ening, grading and (training of the
highways by a competent road en
gineer, and the unexpended bal
ances are to be used in actual road
construction.
The Ohio plan has been growing
up for years, and is the result of
continued experiments in various
parts of the State. Ohio presents
a great diversity of soil and topo
graphical conditions. Identical
methods of road building could not
be applied on the lake ridges, on
the bottoms of the Muskingum ami
in the hills of the interior counties.
Therefore, the Ohio law recognizes
the principle of home rule in road
building.
A majority of the land-holders
along any highway may petition
for its improvement. The town
ship trustees then employ a sur
veyor or engineer to make a com
plete survey, to estimate the cost
of construction and submit it to
them. It is sent by them to the
county commissioners, who assess
a tax on the property abutting upon
the road to be improved, or that
which lies within a specified dis
tance on either side. This tax,
with a poll tax, constitutes the
available road funds, and it may be
worked out or paid in money to
the supervisor in charge of the
work.
One or two points in each of
these laws should be emphasized.
They apply to the whole State, and
they recognize the necessity of the
road engineer in road improvement
two principles which ought to
become the corner-stones of road
reform in this commonwealth.
ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS.
"We don't believe it will pay us
to advertise," is a remark we
frequently ;hear merchants and
other business men make when you
approach them for the purpose of
soliciting an advertisement, but we
have yet to hear the first man say,
"Our advertisement did not pay
us."' Are you aware of the fact
that your local paper is regarded
abroad as a type of the town in
which it is published? Such is,
nevertheless, a fact. If you wish
to build up your business, enhance
the value of your property, induce
public spirited men of energy and
capital to locate in your towu, and
if you wish to build up and pro
mote the interest of your town
generally, you should let the public
at home and abroad know what
you are doing, by keeping your
business ever before them in the
columns of your home paper.
The man who lost money by ad
vertising in his home paper is yet
to be found, and besides you not
only advertise your business but
you advertise your town. Don't
imagine for a moment that you are
a man (if so much importance, in
Uuence and popularity that every
body knows your place of business
and will call on you when they
come to town, whether you adver
tise or not, for such is not true,
and besides don't you feel it your
duty to contribute your mite to
ward the sustenance of your home
paper, that is earnestly endeavor
ing to promote the interest of your
town and community t
Advertise your business no mat
ter how small it may be and it will
lie sure to pay you in the long run.
Let the public know, at home and
abroad, that you live in a live,
wide-awake, energetic, go-ahead,
thrift' business place, that sells
more goods for less money, and
handles more cotton and other
country produce, and pays the
best prices for the same of any
town of its size in the South.

There is plenty of evidence
that the more cotton craze has
struck North Carolina with great
force. This is lamentable. Plant
more cotton and eat the bread of
sorrow, bought of Western wheat
with cotton at five cents a pound.

It was hoped that this Legis
lature would take some favorable
action for dev'sing :i system for the
improvement of the public roads
of this State, but that hope must
now be abandoned. If the people
want good roads they must depend
upon themselves and make them.

the name of the one sending for
publication and in the second place
we take no stock in Hutler or his
paper. Marian Sutler or his paper
are not in our opinion worthy of

NATIONAL CAPITAL MATTERS.

Senator Gorman, who was chair
man of the caucus committee that
made the Senate committee assig
ments, and therefore in a position
to know whereof he speaks, said,
I am reliably informed, to a per
sonal friend: "There has been a
lot of nonsense talked ami printed
about the positions upon the pro
minent Senate committees having
been purposely arranged by the
caucus committee so as to be ant
agonistic to the President. There
is absolutely no foundation for any
such statements. The assigments
of the old Senators were made ac
cording to the well-known prece
dents which have governed such
assignment, ever since I have been
a member of the Senate, and for
many years before, and of the new
ones according to the best judge
ment of the committee." Although
Senator Gorman did not intend his
remarks for publication, it is but
justice to him and the members of
the committee that they should be
made public. This caucus commit
tee had no authority to say that
this or that Democratic Senator
should not have committee posi
tions to which they were entitled
by seniority, because of theirviews
upon this or that question, and had
it attempted such a thing its work
would have been repudiated by the
caucus, which had to approve its
report before it went iutoefi'ec!. It
is only in Republican papers that
there is any antagonism between
President Cleveland and the Demo
cratic Senators. No administration
ever assumed ollice with a more
harmonious party at its back than
the present, and neither the Pres
ident nor any prominent Democrat
in Congress expects or sees any
indication of anything to disturb
the present pleasant relations be
tween the President and the party,
in and out of Congress. Statements
to the contrary, if run down, will
be found in every case to have orig
inated either with a Republican or
a journalistic sensation monger.
Certainly no one can raise any
reasonable objection to the rule
made by President Cleveland that
no person should be sent as V. S.
consul to an important commercial
place who is not a thorough busi
ness man. It will not be necessary
to go outside the Democratic party
to find capable business men to fill
every consulship maintained by the
Government.
Democrats should be extremely
careful about accepting as true
statements concerning the inten
tions of President Cleveland which
appear in Republican papers. A
little consideration will convince
them of the improbability of Re
publican editors and correspondents
beinir taken into the confidence of
Jlr. v levelaiKl. A case m point
was the sending broadcast by Re- !
puhhean correspondents a few i
days ago. of the positive statement ;
that Mr. Cleveland had said that :

their chances with otherapplieants i Chief 'Connolly was -ivatlv
In order to impress the falsity of ; amused Monday when he received
this statement upon Democrats Mr.
Cleveland took especial care that
the first nomination of a postmaster
sent to the Senate by him should
be that of a Democratic editor Mr.
Robert 1. Rrown, of Mcadville,
Pa.
A funny incident intervened the
otherwise somewhat monotonous
reception of Congressmen and
office-seekers at Washington Mon
day. Representative Rroekinridge.
of Kentucky, brought up an old
friend to introduce him to the Pres
ident. They were shown in the
reception room and Mr. Rreckin
ridge made the introduction. As
the friend took Mr. Cleveland's
hand, he asked: "What is the
namef" The laughter which greeted
this sally, somewhat astonished the
Kcntuckian, but when the situation
was explained to him, he retrieved
himself by saying: "Well, Mr.
President, I did not recognize you,
because you don't seem to be as
large as your pictures make you,"
at which the President smiled.
The best evidence of the confid
ence of the business men of the
country in the Democratic admin
istration is furnished by the steady
increase of gold in the Treasury,
which began with the swearing in
of Democratic officials and has con
tinued right along ever since.
Now that the crowd left here by
the inaugration has almost entirely
gone, the President and the mem
bers of his Cabinet will have more
time to devote to their official
duties, and the result will be a
huge number of appointments in
the very near future. As soon as
till of the assistant Secretaries in
the various departments are nom
inated and confirmed, the appli
cants for position under them will
have a chance to get their claims
considered.
It is expected that the Commis
sioner of Pensions will be appoint
ed before the first of April, as it is
known that Mr. Cleveland is par
ticularly anxious for a speedy
change in that office.
Mrs. Cleveland is more popular
than ever before ami about the
first question the stranger asks is
how he or she can see the President's
wife. She has held no public re
ceptions yet, but there is no trouble
in seeing her.

SOUND ADVICE.
We commend these words of
wisdom from the New "Orleans
Times-Democrat to the farmers of
North Carolina:
Some of the sensible Southern
papers are calling attention to the
fact that arguments in favor of a
reduction in cotton acreage for the
coming season are increased by the
present high price of food products.
Pork, which constitutes one of the
principal elements of Southern
plantation supplies, is higher than
it has been for years; and the indi
cations are for an advance in beef
also. There is every reason, there
fore, why the Southern farmers
should put more land in food crops
and reduce their acreage in cotton,
for the price of the former is high,
and that of cotton will be very low
if there is a heavy planting.
Could the Southern farmers do
worse than to grow a big cotton
crop this year ? It will probably
cost them more per pound to raise
cotton than for some years past,
because of the high price of pork
and other food productions. - Cot
ton raising has been somewhat dis
couraging for tin-past few years,
and has returned little profit be
cause of the low price prevailing for
the staple. If, in audition to that
low price, the cost of production is
increased, it is easy to see that the
farmers will be in a worse condi
tion than ever.
There are, therefore, two argu
ments against a big cotton acreage
the low price of the staple, the
high price of provisions. The lat
ter is a further argument in favor
of increasing the acreage in food
crops. During the war the South
raised its own meat ami bread, al
though nearly all its able bodied
men were in the field. It can do
so to-day and with profit and ad
vantage. The market quotations,
not of cotton alone, but of :dl pro
visions, are a strong argument
against a big acreage in the South
ern staple. ,
