Good Roads Help Trade.
The Durham Herald says it will
be a long time before Orange,
Chatham and Person counties can
engage in good road building and
if this (Durham) county will build
roads touching these counties the
town will naturally get much trade
that does not now come here, and
we take it this is what the town
wants.
£ The idea emphasized here is
that good roads are important fac
tors in trade building. They arc
indespensible. In oldtimes when
when the roads were all bad the
distance determined where the
farmers should go to trade. Now
the farmer will go double the dis
tance over a smooth, hard road
rather than go over a bed of hot
sand or drag through deep iniid.
Fortunately for Martin county
there are no good roads to draw
our trade, but this is our opi>or
tunity to build good roads and
turn the trade our way and get
established before the surrounding
counties begin the road work.
Enforce the Law.
We copy an editorial from tin-
Morning Post in legard to the va
grant law. The law should be en
forced for the sake of reducing
crime and being free df disgusting
loafers. We have said liefore
people who do not work and who
have no prospects to support tliein
either have to l>eg or steal.
How disgusting, how demoral
izing it is to find dozens of loafei >
around every public place not then
one time but always with absolute
ly nothing in the world to do. The
worst thing about this loafing busi
ness is the deterivating effect it has
on the character of the loafei
They are already weak characters,
or they wouldn't lie loafing, then
how hard it must be to resist the
temptation to get money aud prop
erty easy.
The work of these loafers is
needed. Everywhere far and neat
the cry for laborers goes unheard
and yet this law goes by unenforc
ed. The labor is needed and tin.
loafers need worse to lie put to
work. Thatjthey may bring up
their families honorably, that they
may be self-respecting and the
community may be relieved of the
greatest boon for crime.
We'shoufd like to call the atten
tion of our officers to this law. The
attention of our people should IK*
called to the lack of a road system
on which to make vagrants work
for the coipity if they will not
work for themselves.
PUt Them to Work.
The value of the vagrant law to
any community will be in propor
tion to the efforts of the authorities
to make it effective. If it does not
mitigate the tramp and loafer nui
sance it will be the fault of those
who are responsible for the admin
istration of the laws. That it is a
dead letter in some localities is not
surprising, for there are communi
ties, just as theie are individuals,
that had rather feed a tramp than
send him to the roads or rock pile
These remarks are suggested by
the complaint of the Rutherford
Sun that hundreds and thousands ot
worthless tramps, dead-beats ami
hoboes are travelling through the
country unmolested by our officials.
Nothing more efiectual than the
chain gang has been found for deal
ing with the "Plodding Petes" and
other foot-sore travellers who pre
fer begging to working. The an
tipathy of this class of tourists to
work is so strong that they would
give a wide berth to any commun
ity that would give a few of theui
forced employment at manual la
bor, especially if a soap and water
drill should be added to their daily
round of exercises.
While (be chain gang is the best
thing in sight for the hobo frater
nity the case is not entirely hope
leas for communities that are de
prived of the advantages of publ : «
works. No town in North Caroli
na is too poor or too small to have
a rock pile and a supply of ham
mers of suitable size for converting
raw material into finished products
that is reducing stone to the crush
ed state wherein it will be found
usefel for repairing streets and
sidewalks. ,
We reccommend the chain gang
and rockpile as alternative pro|>o
sitions to communities with the
tramp nuisance. There is no rea
son why the vagraucy act should be
a dead letter, except the indiffer
ence of communities that will not
avail themselves of the protection
which the law affords, which is no
excuse at all. —Morning Post.

It takes plenty of horse sense to

Lie, and the world lies with you,
tell the truth and alone you talk.
Half clothes as well as half hose
are fashionable at the seaside re

Many a train of thought is wreck

It takes a very shrewd man to
make ai will which effectually ex

D a body kiss a body on the sly,

that they've got a "spark?"
Don't grumble aliout the hot

It is true that politeness costs
nothing, but the dividends from
the investment may be large.
As soon as the world finds out
that you enjoy a hearty laugh it

What Japan Wants.
'* 1 *
When Japan licked China, it got
seventy million dollars in money,
secured the recognition of the in
dependence of Korea, obtained
part of Manchuria and Formoso
ami the Pescadores, aud secured
extensive commercial rights and
privileges. It is to be supposed
that Russia has been studyiny that
treaty to see what it will have to
fork up.
Ja[>an knows how to make big
demands. As Japan got seventy
million dollars from China it wiy
naturally expect more from a great
country like Russia. If the Czar
is not ready to pay down a big
sum, he had better get ready to
have more battleships blown uj^

The Fever Situation.
While the vt-llow fever is on the
increase in New Orleans it is very
encouraging to know that it has
not gained a foothold t>eyund that
locality. There was one case at
Montgomery, one at Tampa and
three near Shreveport. All were
of persous from the infected dis
trict and none of them convey#**-
tlie disease to other persons. It
is officially announced that there is
not a case in the state of Mississip
pi. This shows that those who
are fighting the epidemic have it
well iu hand and that there is no
cause for alarm auioung people at
a distance from the center ot in
fectiou. At the same time they
should observe every precaution.
The cases at the cities above men
tioned were of persons who went
there from New Qflean* with the
disease upon them. Those cities
were prepared for such an emer
gency, and no doubt, it was this
state of preparedness and the active
measures taken at once which pre
vented the disease spreading.
While the doctors and experts
have l>evn able to confine the dis
ease to the locality of its first ap
pearance they seem to be unable to
check its progress there. It seems
to be hard to wipe out. They are
making a heroic fight and will be
•ure to win out. —Wilmington Mes

Too much care cannot be used
with small children during the hot
weather of the summer months to
guard against bowel troubles. As
a rule it is only necessary to give
the child a done of castor oil to
correct any disorder of the bowels
Do not use any substitute, but give
the old-fashioned castor oil, and
see that it is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and has a tendency to
gripe. If this does not ch'-ck the
1 10 we Is give Chamtieriain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
and then a dose of castor oil, and
tlie disease may lie checked in its
incipiency and all daugcr avoided.
The castor oil and this remedy
should lie procured at once and
kept ready for instant use as soon
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble apjiears. This is the most
successful treatment known and
may be relied upon with implicit
confidence even in cases of cholera
infantum. Kor sale by S. R. Biggs.

Slow Progress on The Canal.
Progress on the P.m.una Canal has
not been what the public would
have sup|>osed when the project
was taken in hand by the Ameri
can government. Up to the pres
ent time all the energy and the
money devoted to the enterprise
seem to have have been ex
(tended on preliminaries and prep
eratiotis for the real task. Fifteen
mouths Ttsve passed since the canal
become an American undertaking
but up to tbt present time the act
ual work done on the waterway
has not been of such magnitude as
to make the iuipressiou that there
has been real progress in construc
tion.
In little more than a year the ca
nal commission has been recon
structructed and one chief engineer
has succeeded another; but as yet
there is 110 sucb thing as a working
plan; and although a lock aud dam
canal has tieen authorized by Cou
gress the sea level plan is still
rooted. Perhaps the public should
not be impatient; but the public
knows its failing -it is not very
patient.
