: The Boston Herald says: "The news

fective method cf communication between
those who desire to sell and those who
desire to buy than dt now is. The intelli

the present day would as well toe' out of

advertising out of 'the newspaper is like
taking down his sign. It means a business

It 13 a pleasure to rote that at the beexd
of trade meeting Thursday night several
of the speakers urged that the board should
devote some of its energies to securing bet
ter iroad3 about Asheville. There 13 not a
mile of road leading into Asheville outside
of its corporattion iimits that is made cf
proper road material, or that will not be
a wallowing trough of mud after the next
freeze thaws.' Good road3 are essential to
a prosperous and enlightened community.
They cannot be made of clay or sand and
chunks of sod. This has been tried re
peatedly, and every, trial (has been a fail
ure and a waste of money. In order to
have good roads- there must be a solid
foundation. You might Just as well build
a mouse .witnout a foundation as to con
struct a road without first laying a good.
substantial bottom. ; It would be a : great
achievement if a few miles of good road
could be built out of Asheville, and if the
board' of trade can aid in bringing about
this jesult it will deserve the- lasting grat
itude of this community. . Our. progress to
ward prosperity will drag as lon taa wa
are compelled to advance through mud..
A town that expects to catch the surround
ing country's ; trade, without producing a
good network of roads, should learn a les
son : from the spider. She spins her far-
reaching wet and sits in "the centre, fat
tening on her spoils. Good roads are towns
people's business as much as the farmer's.
Possibly more. ' "
There seems to be a. general awakening
in southern towns and cities on the sub
Ject of free libraries since the liberality of
Mr. Woods, Marion, S.' C.,' for the establish
ment of a free library In that town. The'
Augustar Chronicle devotes - considerable
space to -the subject and asks, "Where is
the man or the men in Augusta, who wish
I to do something handsome like this for the
good of the community." The Charleston
News and . Courier announces an "import-
. ' -.. . i'v, . i- . -. ...... a '
ant meeting 'of the Library association,"
and hopes something will come of it, but
adds : : "But talk is cheap In Augusta, as
It la in Greenville and Columbia and in at
least one other place, where a modest pru
dence restrains ua from more particularly
Darning at this time; and dollars are hard
to get for strictly public purposes. The
library In Augusta to in a bad i WayU Ik
has no endowment and its support i by the
comanunity is eomeagre that It can 'be
opened cmJy in th day time and on warm
days, as it has- no. money to pay for fuel
and lights. Yet Augusta claims to be a
progressive and up-to-date town, and its
distinguished men delight to magnifying
its Importance as -a business and . educa
tional centre. " But it evidently does not
believe . in- .public libraries. , The public-
spirited citizens of the community appear
to be most -' conspicuously . In- - evidence
when the fishing U good for northern, suck
ers or the demand is imperative for larger
majorities at popular elections than the
registry lists will warrant.. Asheville has
a nucleus for a tree library. It really
would not take, much additional efTort and
expense to make a creditable free' library
of our present Bubscription! library. If those
who are already interested in it; who have
worked faithfully to .maintain it, could be
reinforced by an equal number of others,
or be aided by gifts from a few outsiders,
we should soon- have a library which could
be open to the public -without subscrip
tions and a sufficient number of volumes In
it to enable it to tfill the demands that
would then follow for reading matter. We
happen; to know of one 'little town of less
than 2,500 in habitants where. a Ladies'
Literary society raisedifunds for the erec
tion; of a library building and auditorium.
and purchased some thousands of new and
standard books. The income that the so
ciety now receives for the rental of the au
ditorium; is turned over .to the mainte
nance and enlargement of the library. II
is , always the ladies of a immunity or
gome one public-spirited man who engin
eer such affaire. '.
TOPICS OF TODAY.
This country in 1897 exported - - 39,532
horses and 7,473 mules, 'the total value of
whi'ch was $5,314,000," making a rather im
portant item of f oreign trade.. , The exports
of horses, have increased over five fold since.
1893. There were never as many as 5,000
sent abroad prior to that : year. The in
crease is due to -the decline. in the value of
horses'in thi-3 country resuilti-ng from their
displacement -by 'cables and electricity on
city atreet car lines, and the general de
pression in the country. (There is, un
doubtedly, a surplus, of . horses in the
Unite!! States', and probably this will con
tinue, o that exports are likely to go era
increasing! Kanisas City Star. ',.
