He thinks a good plan would be for each township to spend Its own money on the roads, under the direction of a supervisor. In this way each township would have an opportu nity to improve the roads, and thus the worst places, at least, would receive some attention. run- Don't fall to see the seven South- erland sisters' exhibit at my store, commencing on the 13th, for one week. Jonw B. Fabiss, Druggist. LITERATURE. An Entertain Lecture by a Native North. Carolinian. A large and intelligent audience heard Mr. Walter H. Page, of Boston Masa, lecture at the State Normal and Industrial College Friday night, i He Is the editor of the Atlantlo Monthly, a literary journal ef wide repite, for merly edited by James Russell Lowell and has made a reputation In the lltsr ary world of which any man might feel proud. As a lecturer he is both entertaining and Instructive, speaking In a simple and unaffected manner and displaying great breadth of thought and thorough familiarity with his sub ject. His address at the Normal com mencement of 1897 on "The Forgotten Man" was the subject of wide and fa vorable comment, and our people -were glad to again have an opportunity of hearing this gifted son of the Old North State. His aubjeet was "The Making of Literature" and he began by j pointing out the relation of literature to the growth and development of a race or nation, saying the supreme art of any race is its literature. All literature especially English, he declared, Is a thing made at heme, of homely pro-' ducts, and net a thing separated from the life -of the people of the time of its making. It is the out-growth of the1 passions and emotions common to all the people; a thing independent of books and learning, except as they j preserve it. Literary form was mentioned as that which raises the great writer above the plane of the compiler of facts. Chaucer, Shakespeare and Mil ton were cited as examples. They were masters and seized upon things of universal interest for their subjects, constructing their work in such a way that it is so strongly impressed upon us that we cannot forget it. It is this element that gives their work Im mortality. j . Mr. Page gave the audience an In sight into the working methods of Dr. John Fiske and other historians whom he had known personally. Dr. Fiske spent the first half of his life in prepara tion for bis great work. When he began the composition of his series of books he was not content to tell the story of his county in the" old commonplace way, but drew hew pictures of' this world and infused new life into the subjects treated. The result was that the matter was presented in such a striking manner that we read the story of his characters as we read Ulysses in Homer. The speaker compared the man who labors in this field with the act of a great painter handling his brush with the man who laboriously collects and pats together a great mass of facts without this divine inspiration. The novel was mentioned as the most popular and possibly the most useful form of literature. He declared novel writing to be a universal practice, "a secret sin of which we are all guilty," Most men and all women are 1 at some time In life imbued with the determi nation to write a novel. "He who writes a really gre,at story achieves a benefit for the rest of us." Mr. Page spoke of the definite methods of vari ous novelists in constructing their stories, mentioning the great care and labor bestowed upon each detail. A graphic description was given of the methods employed by one writer of well known and popular novals. In this connection he paid a high tribute to Joel Chandler Harris, whom he characterized as the one immortal Southern writer. "Uncle Remus" is a vivid portrayal of Southern civilization and will perpetuate the true idea ofj flnuthfirn life in the old davs. Should everv other Southern work be de-l stroyed, this book could be picked np by a master a thousand years hence,! and with It the whole picture could be reconstructed. He also spoke of the young author of "The Prisoner of Hope" Miss Mary Johnston, of Ala bamapredicting for her a bright fu ture, j Mr. Page closed his lecture by ap pealing to his hearers to cultivate an appreciation for good-literature. He advised each one to take the work of some great author and read it. Culti vate an Intimacy with that author un til his work is a part of your perma nent eaulnmont and your taste for good literature is broadened, j Bteel and Iron "V7orka Sold. The steel and Iron works property, owned by the Greensboro Furnace Compaay, has been sold to a, party of New York capitalists. Some months ego we published the fact that an op. tlon had been secured on the property end that Mr. 8. G. Noble, one of the pioneer Iron men of Alabama, was in terested in the transaction. The option culminated In a sale last Friday, when the property was turned over to the new owners. It is expected to berln operations as soon as the necessary ar rangements can be made, which will be in a short while. We are told that the old Iron mine at Ore Hill, Chatham county, will be operated in connection with the furnace at this place. The most serious obstacle that haa stood In the way of the sale and opera tion ef the steel and iron works has been excessive freight understand that this obstacle has been overcome. The plant is a magolflceat one, representing ' an immense outlay of capital, and we are indeed glad to know that It is no longer to He Idle. The iron market is now in a state to make the operation of furnaces profit able, and with freight rates that will enable tbe Greensboro company to compete with other concerns, the sale of this property marks the beginning of a new chapter in the prosperity and development of Greensboro. The Parmer's Mutual. The fifth annual meeting or the Guilford county branch of tbe Far mers' Mutual Fire Insurance Associa tion of North Carolina was held in the court house last Saturday, at which time reports of the work for the past year were read and received.
