The Lno!f2Iwinf Rock Hold.
" There was aa enthusiastic meet
Ing of the citizens of Jxjnoir and
Vicinity at the court house Jaet
tfriduy night to consider thequea
- -tion of establishing ,a macadam
road to Blowing Rock. Mr J. M.
Earnhardt was made -chairman
and Mr. H. C. Martin, Secretary.
: A number of strong pointed
apeecnes were made and ail pres
ent seemed united in the opinion
t hat this road is a practical necee
' Jiifcy -this is one of the few pro
positions coming before . o u r
.people in which they are all uni
ted. The following gentlemen were
appointed on the committee to
continue to solicit funds for the
enterprise: G. L. Bernhardt Vance
IlenUe, Hardy Taylor, H. T.
Newland, L. P. Uenkle, T. F.
.Beehorn.andH. C. Martin- It was
decided to secure f 60,000 in aub-
scription instead of 40,000 as wa
first suggested. Since the meet
lug, over $2,000 have been sub-
. scribed, and the fund is increasing
steadily."
, The travel and traffic done
over the Blowing Rock road is
very heavy and with a firet-clasa
macadam road thebusinesswould
be greatly increast-d. Manv of
our best business 'men say that
.money put into this road would
be a good investment, and there
Is no doubt that it would greatly
Jbeneflt us all either directly or
indirectly. The road is almost
assured now and ,'it is earnestly
hoped that all interested in the
growth and development of our
town and county will subscribe
something to this enterprise

(Progressive Farmer.) -The
fine placed upon the Stan'
dard Oil Company by Judge Lan
dis, of the Uhited States District
Court, in Chicago, for breaking!
The law agamBt receiving rebates
from the railroads, is so large as
to be unprecedented. The compa
ny, was convicted oi rebating on
1,462 counts. Judge Landis im
posed the maximum penalty of
f 20,000 for each case, making
the total $29,240,000. It in the
: largest fine ever imposed by any
.American court. It is 131 times
as great as the sura received in re
liates by the Standard Oil Company,-
and is nearly fifty times
the value of the oil actually ship
ped at illegal rates. The fine Im
posed, therefore, by Judge Lan
dis may be viewed as a severe pen
alty. This great corporation will,
of course, appeal to the higher
courts, and the outcome of the
contest will be awaited with in
terest. Though the. amount of
the fine, as set forth by. Judge
! Landis, is comparatively insigni
ficant when the enormous wealth
and earnings of the defendant are
taken into account, yet taken by
itself it presents a vast aggre
gate. It is greater by $ 9,000,-
tnan the $20,000,000 which
the U. S., paid for the Philippine
Islands, as pointed out by the
Journal of Finance; greater by
$24,000,000 than the sum paid
Spain for Florida, and greater
by $14,000,000than theamount
pain France for the Louisiana
Purchase that magnificent em
pire of the West "out of which are
now carved the richest States of
the Union." '

Mr. Jones baces his optimist
prediction on the action of Geor.
gia in enrolling itself am,ong the
"dry" states recently.
' Winning the battle for prohi
bition in Georgia is the openimr
gun of the final assault on the li
quor traffic in all America," said
Mr. Jones. ,
'It is the direct result of t h e
persistent aud intelligent educa
tional campaign throughout the
nation. ;
"The flrst effect of the Georgia
victory, Mr. Jones thinks, will be
felt in the other southern states.
,"The prohibition leaders are
sure that the republicans and
democrats will go to fighting o
ver the liquor question as their
main issue at an early date, giv-
tng a hack seat to he tariff and
otqer matters.

It is a mistake to set up your
own standard of right and wrong
and judge people accordingly.
To measure the enjoyment; of
others by our own.
To expect uniformity of opinion
in the world.
To look for judgement and ex
pertness in the young.
To endeavor to mold all dispo
sitions alike. .
To yield to immaterial tri
fles. To look for perfections in our
own actions.
To worry ourselves arid oth
ers with what cannot be remedied.
Not to alleviate 'all that need
alleviation so far as lies in our
power..
Not to make alio wauces for the
infirmities of others.
To consider evervthinsr im.
' rj
possible that we cannot perform.
To believe only what our minds
can grasp.
To believejthat there is only one
perfect individual, and that yon
are that person.
To expect to be able to under-
stand everything.
Life has four seasons and each
season has its seasoning; in child
hood it's vinilla; in youth, spice,
maturity's is ginger, and jn age
it's garlic.
