Everyone knows, in a general way,; the value of good roads The opposition to issuing bonds for the purpo.se of securing them if opposition there is will be found in almost every instance to be due to some misunder standing about the matter, Most of us are opposed to what we do not understand. Interest and sinking fund for bonds in the sum of $500,000 could be provided for about what is be ing paid in roau taxes now in U )beson, and the increased val ue of land and other advantages that follow in the wake of good roads would make it much easier for those who come after us to pay tne oonus tnan to pay the taxes that would be necessary to keen ut the temnorarv maV. shifts that answer for " r T f fit I now. It is not a question of cost, uood roaus are not ex pensive; it's bad roads that are expensive too expensive for any section to afford. ' In commenting favorably upon The llobesonian's remarks in its issue of the 3d on this subject, ...i ii .. . i .i wiien it was suggested tnat a good roads association be formed for the purpose of waging a campaign for a bond issue, The Wilmington otar suomits some remarks that are to the point The Morning State has always taken a deep interest in the good roads movement in this State, and it is specially gratifying when the counties adjacent to Wilmington inaugurate a move ment for better rural hierhwavs. In this flat country the roads are execrable and the farmers have no idea of their costliness. The larmer who gets his produce to i - i- i -i . , , marKet easny ana quickly over good roads, saves money by it it, nence good roads are money makers. We have learned that object lesson in New Hanover county, and those who travel along our improved roadways in the dirterent sections of the county will note the wonderful development that has been brought about by better high- wajra. in ot oiny uo tne trucKers be relieved. and farmers reach market with less trouble and with decided"" Beginning tomorrow and last- economy, but the great increase !u "n,orfow ana in farm values verv 323E nS through Thursday there will emphasizes the vital importance of good roads.

The facilities for handling produce are ideal and our nearness to the big cities makes this a logical region that is really inviting if not enticing to settlers. If we but take ad vantage of our resources and op portunities, we will see a great movement of settle'rs in this di rection." "fh? Lunberton Robesonian started The Star off on th.v question, and this article was begun to endorse an editorial of that esteemeed contemporary "rKJn? good roads campaign in Robeson county. "It is a fact that Robeson county is one of the most fertile in the State, and wher 'he re sources of the county ai. Aown and good roads are built to make those resources available, there is bound to be a great development m the county. The Star hopes to see the peopteof Robeson act mptiy npon, The Robesonian's suggestion. It is a question of exceedingly great importance" A recent publication by the United States Department of Agriculture shows the direct connection lvlween ood roads and the vriu of farm lands, proving by statistics gathered l.y tlierfiice of Public Koads that property along improved high ways enhance instantly and con tinually in value. It shows that the percentage of the improved roads of the vai loos Strifes where farm hind is worth less than &20 per acre is 1.8 per cent; whereas I I CA J . 1 .1 ni i fit? oiaies in winch the avei age value of faitn lands exceeds $20 per acre improved roads are nine pv cent. of the total mileage It is shown that the building of a n ouel hiirhwav fonnectinc with a nearby market town has - c J caused farm lands to enhance iroiu lmy t nve nundred per r Pa . , , . i cent. 1 here is no question as to the value of good roads. A re the peo ple of Robeson going to be satis- ueu vim tne roads as they are when the I est roads may be ob tained with no increase in taxes? THE BOARD OF CHARITIES IN NEED OF FUNDS. The Lumberton Board of Charities is in need of funds and we feel sure that its call for aid will not be in vain. This organi nation has been at work some six or eight months and during that time it has taken care of a great many people who needed help. Its work is systematized and the people approve of what is being done. Every case brought to its attention is thoroughly investi- gated and those who contribute ;ta i , a uJ . nvi .T ,T tuc money win uo goou, win ue applied where it will relieve real want.

All who honor the courage and devotion of the Confederate soldier will please read: Some years ago, under a gen erous act oi tne united btates Congress, at Government ex pense, the remains of 265 Con federate soldiers, then scattered throughout Arlington and the District of Columbia, were gath ered and interred together in a beautiful spot now known as the Confederate Section in Arling ton Cemetery, each grave mark ed with a marble headstone, identifying the soldier when possible. Practically every Con- tederate State is named on those slabs. Later the U. S. Congres3 gave by unanimous vote $200,000 to care for the graves of those who died in Northern prisons. Each of these soldiers, where known, is to have a separate headstone, and the remains of the unknown, it has now been decided by the President, are to be grouper under appropriate monuments. In the center of the Confed erate section at Arlington is left a mound. There, in sight of Washington City, where for untold generations the American and the foreigner- will be pil grims, the Confederates them selves are expected to build a memorial, which. will typify their love of and veneration for their dead. Soon after the reinterment at Arligton, Confederate organiza t'.ons in Washington began to move in this matter. In 1906 the United Daughters of the Confederacy, in convention at Gulf port, endorsed the move ment and subscribed to it. In 1907 Norfolk the Daughters took lulfebarge, appointing Di actors in the several States and an Executive Committee at Washington. All wentipromptly to work.

Some Conditions Shown by Roosevelt's Country Life Com mission's Report Conditions Observed in Robeson - Do Men Give Proper Considera tion to the Comfort of Their Wives? To the Editor of The Robesonian: I have been reading recently some of the literature furnished the public by the Roosevelt Com mission on Country Farm Life, and am aroused at the conditions shown therein. It is hard to con ceive of the average farmer treat ing his wife with less considera tion than he does his farm stock. It shows that while he uses all kinds of improved farm machin ery, he surfers his wife to get along with the most primitive household and kitchin furniture; that while he has plenty of hired help, he leaves his wife to do all the drudgery of the household without any of the modern con veniences that we find "in the town and city households. One man states that in a drive of some miles in the vicinity of St. Louis, he visited 14 families and iound step-mothers at the head of every one of them. He inti mated that the first wives were killed out by overwork. I imag ine that the conditions are better in our Southern country, if it wasn't for the hook-worms that Dr. Styles says are killing out all the poor whites. Wonder what would be the re port if our county were investi gated? Are any of our farmers' wives' lives shortened bv over work and loneliness unenlivened by anything to make life more attractive, save the inevitable tooth brush and snuff box? Are any of their children growing up in ignorance and s ot.hfn nps? Are there any young girls grow ing up without any future save the inexorable fate of following their mothers' examnlp. whpn right here in Red Springs is an institution founded by Dr. Var- den wherein the poorest girl in the county can get an education to tit her tor any work in life? I refer to the fine brick laundrv recently erected, where a girl can work her way throuerh col lege. 1 ask myself are there any such conditions, as mentioned above, existing in Robeson coun ty today? I don't know.but will mention one circumstance that occurred to my own knowledge 1 sometime ago spent a night at a farmer's house. He seem ed right well to do. He had good house and farm. His wife had no help and had to do all the work, while he, a great lumbering nuiK, sat idly by enjoying a com. rortable smoke. She drew the water out ot the old-time well y,,.; J il i" i i i- uc eviuenuy aian t believe in pumps, when now you can't hire a tenant without putting down a pump tor him at the door. I no ticed that she had to provde the nre-wood they had no stove tor as we ate in the kitchen I couldn't see any cooking utensils except a trying-pan and skillet. bhe looked worn and listless. whilst he was full of jokes some or them not verv refined, either I felt like telling her that if any body had a cause to strike.it was sne. Another case I witnessed, but in this instance the mother was to blame. She was a widow. and had four strapping boys, who Buuerea tneir mother to do all the household and kitchen work. even allowing her to bring in the ngntwood to keep the fire up. l am convinced of one thing, ana tnat is that the majority o men do not give that considera tion and attention to the comf or of their wives that they should , .

A Great Orator and Distinguish ed Theologian. Baltomorc Sun. The Methodist Episcopal Church South and Methodism generally have suffered a griev ous loss in the death of Bishop Charles B. Galloway, of Missis sippi. Bishop Galloway was a theologian of distinguished abili ty, a scholarly writer and a pul pit orator of the first rank. He traveled widely in the interest of the Southern Methodist Church, visiting Brazil and Mexico twice, and on three occasions journey ing to China and Japan to ad vance the cause of Methodism in those countriSfe. A man of intense zeal and en ergy, and of tremendous earnest ness, he was a tower of strength, not only to the Methodist Church, but to Christianity. He had preached in South America, in the Far East and in England, and everywhere his eloquence and erudition made a profound and abiding impression. Bishop Gal loway was in his sixtieth year, but up to a few days before his death he was attending actively to the duties of his high calling. He is mourned in Mississippi, not only because the voice of its most eloquent preacher is forever still ed, but also because he was a citizen of the highest quality, discharging his civic duties with the same zeal which he carried into his church work. - He was one of the most im pressive figures in the Methodist Church South, and his influence extended far beyond the range of denominational boundaries. He will be long remembered by all who have been broGght under the spell of his oratory , and the influence of his piety: and good works. Commissioner of Agriculture Graham wants the farmers of North Carolina to try themselves tnis year in an endeavor to excel anything ever done before in the amount and quality of corn grown, and he de sires to make a show of North Carolina corn at the National Corn Exposition at Omaha next December.
