In this issue will be found a com
munication from Col. Wm. F. liens
ley, who suggests, and we think very
wisely, too, that our people meet in
convention and discuss the matter
of county roads.
It is a fact that good roads is a
mark of civilization ; that where you
find good roads you find also a pros
perous country. They enhance the
yalue of property aud make a people
more prosperous.
We know that this county is not
financially able just now to make her
roads good, but by co-operating with
the present road law we might make
the roads better.
Thk Democratic party came into
power last fall on the promises made
to a people who saw that a continu
ance on her downward career meant
destruction to North Carolina. The
white people overleaped party lines
and carried the banner of Democra
cy to victory, believing that the
pledges of the party would be fuith
lully kept.
The people are not disappointed ;
their representatives speut sixty days
iu the Legislative halls at llaleigh,
carrying oat those pledges. They
so legislated as to place this State in
the hands of the Anglo-Saxon race.
They so fixed the school law as to
place only white men in charge of
white schools; they gave to the
State institutions just and honest,
government; they gave evidence of
economy iu all their dealings ; they
abolished all unnecessary offices;
they did not forget the Confederate
soldier; they have made it possible
for die State to have an election law
that means for all time "White
Utile;" they have made great and
good laws in regard to railroad cor
porations; they have arranged to
pay off the State debt; they have
improved the insanity laws; they
have enacted perhaps the best lie ve
nue law ever enacted ; they have
given us separate cars for the races.
They have doue all things well, and
while some may feel that this or that
might have been done or left undone,
let us not murmur, but with one ac
cord, say amen
BETTEil 110ADS NEEDED.
Editor Beacon : I wrote the Chair'm,
Of the Board of county CoinuiibBioners a
letter recently, suggesting that he arrange
to Lave a meeting of the citizens of Wash
ington county some day during April court
for the purpose of discussing the "County
Road Question."
I do not know what action he will take,
and therefore suggest to all interested, that
a convention he arranged for the purpose,
and at the time suggested above.
The necessity of good roads has been
forced upon our people by the miserable
tot to say infamous, plight the roads of'
the county are now i n, and I am clearly Of
the opinion that if w . w ould gel together
and discuss the matt r dispassionately we
could reach sensible conclusions and would
put in motion action that would result iu
doing great good.
Concerted action in this matter would
do wonders, and therefore I hope my sug
gestion will meet with favor.
It would givo rue pleasure to devote
some time and money to securing better
road for the county, and I am confident
that many others wou'd do likewise i f
they could be assured that thoir aid would
be wisely expended.
Yours truly,
Wii. F. Beasley.

FOREIGN CUlllSTIAN MIS
SIONARY" SOCIETY.
Among the mo.-t prosperous missionary
organizations ol this country is the Foreign
Christian Missionary Society of Ciucinuati,
Ohio, au organization of the Christian
Church (Disciples of Christ). During tho
past live years its receipts have been more
than doubled, and last year they reached
130,02.").00. Missious have been planted
by the Christian Church iu India, China.
Japan, Africa, Turkey, ScaucUuavi:i and
England. One of the most importaut
steps receutly taken is the planting of
churches in Cuba. Two missionaries will
be sent to Havana soon. A mission wid be
planted under the shadow of Moiro Castle.
This religious body has 20t missionaries
iu foreign lauds, and a number more will
be sent out this year.
The Aunual Offering in all the churches
of this counuuniou for Foroigu Missions is
the first Suuday iu March.
We are reminded or the rapid growth of
this religious body. la ouly about 75
years this people have come to number
more thau 1.0iK),000 communicants in this
country alone. L'.i$t year they made a
gaiu of no less than 50,0:10, aud their war
cry this year is a gain of 100,000 They
have mora thau 10,000 churches aud about
l,0!iO ministers. They are building up a
number of spleudid educational iustitu
tions iu different parts of the country.
Last year for all missions they raised more
than $.ViO,000. They are calling for $1. -000,000
this year, and not wituout hope of
success.
The Jubilee of their organized missionary
work is to be observed October 13th-19th
of this year, at Cincinnati, Ohio, Where the
Amencau Christiau Missionary Society was
organized for Home and Foreign Missioni
in 1840. Alexander Campbell was the first
president. Fully 10,000 delegates are ex
pected to attend the Jubilee Couventiou.
Tho great Music Hail of Cincinnati has
already been secured, aud other large
buildiugs will be used. No doubt there
will be a creditable representation from
the church in this place.
