A Good Suggestion, What do You Think?
Euitoh Coi;riek:
In view of the fact that tho public
roadi in this section of the county
are in terrible condition, and we pre
sume no better in other sections, and
in view of the further fact that the
probabilities are that they will never
be any better until there is a differ
lit system inaugurated foY working
them, 1 write this to suggest that
each township in the couuty be re
quested to hold a meeting and elect
two delegates to meet in Asheboro on
some day to be agreed upon, for the
purpose of trying to devise some
iiiians ot improving them.
If this idea commends itself to you
will you publish this and ask the
people what they think about it.

Leaving the attractions of Los 1
Angeles we traveled over the pnpu-;
lar Coast line of tho Southern I'aci- j
lie one of the most beautiful routes'
iu the country.
The Coast line runs between 18 1
Angeles and San Francisco along
the edge of the State part of the
time you are almost near enough to
the Pacific to "chunk" in a stone
and again you find yourself iu a
valley between mountains. The
scenery is varied but very beautiful.
The lirst thing we noticed of in
terest after leaving Los Angeles
was a pigeon ranch. It seemed that
there was no end to the "feathered
tribe." We were told that theie
were fifteen thousand pigeons there;
in that part of the country, us iu
many others now, pigeon raising, is
quite prolitable, especially when
young chickens are scarce and I
thought from the price at the Call-
forum cated, they must be scarcer
than they ever get to be at home

After leaving the Mission we got in
to the mountains sure enough. The
roads are too narrow to pass a ve
hicle so all carriages had to go the
same way. After winding around
over hills, beside orange and lemon
groves (and the only olive grove I
saw asy where) we came to Mr Eat
on's country home. It is hidden,

rare treat for all, but when we
think of it almost any North Curo
linn farmer would be glid to invite
a party to gather apples from his
orchard, if he had plenty of them.
Well, oranges are as plntitul in
California as apples are here.
Several beautiful aonns bordered
our mountain drive and several
more were on the coast as five or six

Mr President Boosevelt had
another think coining to him, and
, ho has announced that he will ca!
an extra session of the Congress I
I
j meet here on November II, next,
j for tbe purpose of enacting some
j legislation aneut the Panama Canal,
railroad rate and rebate legislation,
leoipiocily, taiiff revision and a few
other legislative chores. 1'robably
i he would like to hire the members
of the Congress out to cook or chop
1 wood when they are not busy on this
little dab of legislative work which
1 he thinks they can perfoiniin the
. thre weeks before the tegular si
sion begins on the lirst Monday in
Deeemiier following. As 1 have often
lemarked previously the strenuous
President does some things which
are intensely amusing. He has cut
ojit enough work for.the Congress to
'can't make him drink.
It is proballu that the Hoiisu of
Representatives will get down to

IVesideur asks them to, for the

ing legislation to place their property
in the haiids of the government they
would not lie spending that much
money on improvements.
1 picked up a bunch of statistics
the other day that had been compiled
tiy some statistical chap, showing
the increase or railroad freight rates
between 1897 und 1905, and also
giving the average wholesale price
lor the things that von and 1 eat or
wear in these same years.
1 hat table set me to thinking how
little we common people know of this
rate making business, concerning
which there has been such a Indiana-
loo for the past year or so. The
more 1 studied is the more it strikes
me that to a fellow who is paying
market bills every day, it is a good
deal of a tempest iu a teapot. Of
com so that cuts out the question of
the principle involved entirely.
That is another story. But 1 find
tor instance, that w hue the price of
wheat had increased about bO per
cent., corn 100 per cent, and oats 50
per cent., that, the actual cost of
transportation of both wheat and
corn had been reduced, not much,
but enough so that the broker hand
ling a lot of it, would add quite a
bit to his income, fie gets a lake
oil, but we people who eat it, have to
pay practically double lor the same
tult ttiut we had to in IH'iT, Take
the cost of a barrel of flour for in
stance. In 97 the railroads charged
37!cents to haul it 1,000 miles now
they charge 30 cents. Iu '97 the
tverage price of a barrel of Hour at
wholesale was, $3.90 to-day it is
$4.00. Ihut clout lineup exactly
with the claim that the increase in
cost to the consumer is due entirely
to freight rates. It strikes me that
there is a nigger in the wood pile
somewhere, and that the broker and
middleman knows just where to
locate him. I know my loaf of
read and breakfast rolls cost me
just as much now as ihev did in '97,
and mv wife savs the loaf of bread
is smaller than it was then.
I don't come from Boston, hut I
like baked beans. In '97 they cost
the dealer through whom 1 buy them
Ml cell ts a bushel. I hey cost him
$3.10 a bushel now and the freight
rate on these beans fiom some place
nit est where they are raised, is
ju.-t the same now us it was then.
As a consumer 1 can not sec how 1
can get any the worst of it because
of these freight rates, but I know I
am getting 100 per cent, the worst
of it on lb-..- price of my beans.
Perhaps the farmer gets the benelit,
perhaps it is the middleman, and 111 v
grocer tells me there is about 35
per cent, prohton the bean business.
But he certainly can c charge that
increase in pi ice up against freight
ittes iu lace ot these ollicial statistics.
I have looked over this whole list
of commodities in every day use iu
every family in the country, and 1
can't lind where there has been any
such increase in freight rates as
would warrant the raising of the
price of these commodities to the
consumer by a cent a pound on any
thing or a cent a yard on any wear
ing apparel. Yet there has been such
ii constant increase 111 the price ot
these things that the average price
of commodities has advanced in this
period of eight years 30 3-10 per
cent.
Apropos of this very matter to
day's newspaper tells me that there
has been a cut ot 33 cents a hundred
pounds on the freight rates on sugar
and coffee from New Orleans to up
per Missouri River points. Now if
the argument that a reduction in
freight rates is for the benelit of the
consumer is true, the Western people
ght to be getting sugar aud coffee
cheaper than ever. As a matter of
fact the price ot neither ot these
commodities was reduced; you and 1
are no better off for tho cut, and
veiy dollar of that cut was saved
to the suiiiir and coffee trusts respec
tively. When we come down to rock

Whereas, Since the last term of
this Court it has been decreed by
the Supreme Judge, from whose de
cree there lies no appeal, that the
father cf our bar, Hon Murmabuke
S Robins, should be removed from
its arena 111 which he had so long
figured with such conspicuous abil
ity and with such signal credit to
himself and his profession. And,
Whereas, It is eminently meet that
the members of this bar, where were
witnessed his greatest professional
triumphs, aud where his virtues as a
man and his attainments as a lawyer
were best known and appreciated
should place on record some expres
sion of their sense of loss. There

tiligence 111 the discharge ot evirv
duty, reflected the highest credit up
on his profession and added to its
prestige 111 the commence ot the
people.
Jmi. I hat this loss is not less
sensibly felt bv the people of this
county where Iiis character for rug
ged honesty and courageous devotion
to his convictions upon all questions
touching or affecting the public
welfare was always potent in its in
fluence for a higher ideal of citizen

of thought, clean of life, upright
iu his daily walk, exemplary 111 tbe
