Vurner iu Lenoir Topic. I wish to call your attention to three bills that ant now before the General Assembly Mating to the construction of good roads in North Carolina. The first relates to the State giving road engineering assist ance to the counties. The need of such assistance by a iiiiijority of the counties in the State, in connection with the road work, id very apparent to anyone who Inn Investigated ev en in a casual way the road work of the various counties. On ue eount of the d id work not hav ing the supervision of coinp- tent road engineers, there is nn annual loss of $.-,00,000 of the revenue that the counties have provided for their ro id work. There is no doubt but that this amount can be saved if the road funds are spent under the super vision ol men who know how. In this bill the necessary revenue is to be pmvided by a tax on.au tomobih s. The hill was thoroughly dis cussed at th last tn.vtiug ol the North Carolina Good Roads As sociation, which was well repre sented by tht'aiitomohilistsfrom all over the State, and it was the unanimous opinion th it the au tomoltilists would pay such a tax, provided the money thus raised was used for t Ii3 better ment of the public roads. The second bill, relating to the use of Slate convicts in publi.r road construction, is a bill that also received practically the u nanimous support of the Good Roads Association and the unan iinous support of the North Car olina Press Association at their 11)12 meeting This bill provides that all able bodied convicts sen tenced to the State penitentiary shall be used on the public roads, except such as are required in connection with the work at the Penitentiary, This hill does not iuteil'e.ein any way with the prcs'Mit county convict chain gang. The allotment of convicts in connection with the comity work is by 1 he Geological Hon i d, of which the Governor is chair man. It is the opinion o f a large majority of the people ol North Carolina that the convict should not be considered a collate! al of the State, out of which they shall try to dei ive as much revenue as possible with which to pay iun ning expenses. The third bill relates to the State becoming security forcoun- I ty bonds that are issued for the construction of public roads, and simply means the State lends its credit to the county. As is well known, a State bond can besold as bearing a lower rate ol inter est than a county bond, this be iug a difference ol one per cent. This one per cent, put 011 t at compound interest, will, at the end of a period of forty-one years equal the principal of the bond issue. Therelore, if the bill is pass ed, the State, by accepting the county bonds bearing five per ceut interest, holding these us collateral and issuing its own bouds at four per cent, and turn ing over the money thus raised to the counties for public road construction, would be able, by the difference ot one per cent in interest, to create a sinking fund with which to pay off the State bonds when they become due, and then return the county bonds when they become due, and then return the the county bonds to the county as redeemed. Thus the county only has to pay an annual five per cent interest, and does not have to raise any other amount for a sinking lund. 1 sincerely hope that 3ou will give these bills your earnest edi torial tupport, and that you will TEE DIVORCE BILL, Biblical Recorder. Two divorce bills have been presented in the I-gislature a t Raleigh. One allows divorce af ter abandonment without just cause lor five years (instead of teu years, as the present law pro vides) and forbids remarriage of the abandoning party during the life of the abandoned. Tli oth-r permits divorce after only two years' seperatiou and allows. re marriage when a year has elaps. ed after the granting of the di-von-e. The firt of these bil's is much less objectionable than the sec ond, but, in our opinion, neither should supersede the present law, which is far better. WeofTerthe following reasons against an v legislation looking tt) easier divorce in North Caro lina: 1. ft would certainly promote among us the divorce evil, which is one of the greatest curses of our America ti li'e. 2. There is at present but the slightest demand or occasion for such a law; and it would be calamitous to the State at large for a law to be passed which would increa-e the demand or multiply the occasions, 3. Our Code already admits five causes for divorce, while the New Testament recognizes but one. To add to the number or tc weaken their quality would be only to stray luriher from the standard which we all legard as the perfect pattern of our ciyili zition. 4-. The passage of the bills pre sented would lead to still futher laxity in our divorce legislation fur if we admit short-term seper- ation, for example we soon may be called on to add extra vu trance thriftlesness, or even insaoiry or misfortune as grounds for breaking the marriage tie. 5. While there may be occas ional hardships under our North Carolina law as it now stands, there would under these suggest ed amendments be greater injury to the general public in that the total population would be vitiat ed an 1 the tone of civic life de cidedly lowered. G. To weaken the piesent law wouldjjea backward step in our legislation and our social pro gress for safety at this vital point lies rather in greater strictness than in growing laxity. 7. In short, the proposed leg iplation making divorce easier is a blow unintentional, we sup pose, but a blow nevertheless at the sanctity ol the marriage re lation, the purity ol the home and tha integrity of the race. We, therelore, earnestly hope that the Legislature will not by the passage of such laws make divorce easier, the family more unstable, or the homeless secure.

Republicans are more care tree than they have been for 1(J years with nothing toloseand everything to gain from this time on. Having gained everything, the Democrats will strive tohold what they have. Sometimes how ever it is easier to g 1 in than to hold, as men in both parties well know. The easy-going way in which Congress reconvenes, after a his toric political campaign, will be taken as a pointer by business, If Congresss is not tense a n d straining at the leash, there is no reason why business should be disturbed Six months at least will elapse before any new legis. Iation of importance fan be put into effect. The present inactive session will last'until early March and it will be two to three months after that before the Democrats enn finish thp'r work ol tariff re vision. And in any event, it is not planed that the new tariff lnw shall become opperativd ear lier than .1 a'y 1. A rest of at least seea months is thus as-aired to the country, during which plans for the future can and will be made.

Old Sam Svnt, was sawing wood, earning 'levencents a day, and he filled the neighborhood with his cheerful, hopeful lay. Twenty-seven hungry kids look, ed to hbu for things to eat, for their clothing and theirli Is, uud the cases for their feet. And this work was mighty hard, but lie didn't care a Jara, sawing in tho rich man's yard, just forninst the red brick barn. "I have health and strength" he said, "and i'll make the bucksaw hum; there'rt a Providence o'erhead better things will surely come. For their homes nal for their kids, meu may always do their best, chirp ing like the katydids, till the hour has come to rest." In the rich man's house they sat, while his tears dripped to the floor, a poor, jaded plutocrat ho has made this lile a bore. Long it was sinre he had sung; long since he had sprung a smile; and he s aid with languid tongue "Noth ing really worth the while! 1 would give 11 million bones if I knew just how to sing iu that fellow's joyous tone, as he saws the wood, by jing!"
