Our correspondent, "A Farmer of JXocke" nppeuld Id nk brother farmers oxi the road question; The reader may determine for himself whether - or not utateinent of the u, liiMv mm w v w case in respect to the hands who are 1 called out to work on the roads. The WOrk performed under the present sjs- : tern, it must be admitted, is very poor; iwyircelv worthy of the name of repairs. i ,xr. it pvpr 1k anv better under the same svstem." A change is imper ative. 'As the population and business I of the country increase, the use of the .j..cm ami ill weiir and tear of them augmented. Therpresant im perfect system of repairing them may answer in a sparsely settled section, where the travel is not great enough '. to eui them up as is now the case with : These are obvious facts, seen and Vfiown to all f and they point unerr- bgly to the necessity of a change in tmrroad working. We have come to a time of demand on the roads which old-time work cannot meet. We must now have something more substantial than pine tops dropped into the mud holes and a few-shoyels of dirt thrown on them. One or two teams may pass over such work, without going through it ; but it is totally inadequate for the train now put upon the roads leading into town. What, then, is the use of persisting in a system which is a con- tinfc' tail ii r A mockery, and a hin- mm mum a a w .j drance to business ? ! We have no doubt our County Com inissfoners individually at least, hav0 puzzled themselves over this question and perhaps have wished to "be clear of ill responsibility in connection with it. The institution of a new system equal to the necessities of the County will re quire more work and more money than they are authorized to demand of the people without their consent. It falls frack upon the people themselves, then, "jo say how much they are willing to pay for better roads;, and in order that they may be heard from, we invite re- Iponses from all parts-oi tne county, -! A "Use for the Surplus, t A correspondent of the Country Gen tleman suggest the following as a solu tion the road-improving problem: Let the government use the surplus, yearly accumulating in the United (States Trea sury ,in public improv'ments,especially in . the direction of better roads. It has aid ed! railroads to open this country now let it aid the farmer to reach the railroad, not as a gift, but as a loan, at a low rate of Interest, just sufficient to pay the ex pense, and on condition that the town or county raise an equal sum to be expended with it, and ;the whole to be under the control of the proper officials, and expend ed' in the proper manner. This would iblve at once two problems how to use the surplus, and how to obtain good roads, i This is the very best proposition we H-ive seen looking to a reduction of the ever accumulating surplus. Issue to townships, counties "and towns, bonds at a low rate of interest, payable in 50 or 100 years, and allow its expendifure ., for. macadamizing public roads only, and the surplus will not be long in the treasury. In this way the farmers could be actually benefitted j- they could pay a little more tax for school purposes and not need Blair's Federal supervis ion. This is practical, non-political, and would be but a just return to the whole people of part of the money that has been needlessly drawrf f roin their scanty means. Now, Mr. Henderson, put your shoulder td the wheel andgive lis such a law. North Carolina would be vastljpmore benefitted by such a cherae than by the passage of twenty Dlair bills. -1 Ths belle of Gaffney city on the Air Line railroad, Miss Florence Turner, tlie Charlotte Chronicle says, has mar ried twb men in less than eight davs : jto one of them she wlis secretly mar ried, and to the other with usual pub licity.

It will gratify many readers to see how he was received. Read the following : ' Chablestost, S. C, Feb. 25th. . The presidential party arrived here at 0.54 this morning and were received at the station by the mayor and a com mittee of eighty aldermen and citizens. They drove through the principal streets with a military escort consist ing of the Charleston Light Dragoons and the Gorman Hussars. Upon arri val oL the train a Presidential salute of twenty-one guu3 Avas fired by the detachments of the German and Lafay ette Artillery. At least 40,000 persons were on the streets during the passage of the party and the air was rent with enthusiastic cheers. There was a sky of unclouded blue and the temperature was that of spring. The party left at 11.15 o'clock, a. m. The Presidential train was- loaded down with flowers, the baggage car being entirely filled with floral offerings and tropical fruits. Two pet alligators are a part of the museum of curiosities from Florida. ; There was no formal speech-making in Charleston. On Marion Square the soldiers of the city were drawn up in line and the President and his party were received vrxth military honors. The only stop made by the visitors on their drive through the city was at the Charleston Orphan Home, where bas kets of flowers were presented by the children. THE PBESIDEJfT IX NORTH CAB0LINA The President's party passed Fair Bluff, at $ o clock p. m. The citizens were at the depot en masse, and cheered him. lustily. He responded by bowing and doffiing Jiis hat. He has our en tire good will and support. THE PRE$IDEKT AT G0LDS30R0. rresiaent uievelana and wite and Col. Lamont and wife, passed here at 6.47 this "evening (Feb. 25), en route for Washington. Ihe President stood on the platform, Mrs. Cleveland in the door as the train barely rolled through the town, which was illuminated th entire length. Such an ovation has not been accorded to any one passing by since the days of It. h. Lee. Uur country is a unit for J. A. Gil mer for Governor and J. L. Shepherd tor Supreme Lourt Justice. Mt. Olive, Feb. 25. At 6.23 this evening the Presidential party, returning from Honda on special train-made a short stop at this place, rive hundred persons, white and black, shook hands with the Pre sident and greeted Mrs. Cleveland. And so it was all along the Presi dent's route wherever he went. stat"e"news. IMPORTANT CASE. J The decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Brown vs. the Commis sioners of Heraford, reported to-day. covers a very important and interesting point. An amendment to the Constitution adopted m 1875 invested the Legisla ture witn tne right to modify, change or abrogate anv or all of tho nrnvisinTis i J w v of Article 7 of the Constitution relat ing to municipal corporations, and sub stitute others in their place, except sec tions seven, nine and thirteen. The Legislature exercised the power and made certiiin changes. Thereupon it has been a mooted question whether the power, having been once exercised, was not thereby exhausted. The ques tion has arisen in connection with the present system of u County Govern ment," it being suggested that the sys tem established by the legislature is now a part of the Constitution and be yond the power of the Legislature to further modify. The decision of the Supreme Court elsewhere published indicates that this view cannot be maintained, but thaKhe Legislature has the power to modify the system from time to time ; and it arould seem also that the decision gives countenance to the suggestion that th Legislature has the power to dispense with the present uniformity of the sys tem. It is a trite saving that th Tm.- . . -i o t-' " oi , . - mime ui n suYercign mate is supreme, except so far as it is restrained by some limitation expressed in the Constitution. Whether there is any provision of the Constitution requirmg uniformity in the system is a question we have not investigated. Neics & Observer. A RICH GOLD MINE. Mr. Jack Reinhardt, of Lincoln coun ly, has struck a veritable bonanza.

AN AFFAIR IN CATAWBA. 1 Andrew Connelly, the man who was shot by J. C. Aderholt at Hudson, hist Saturday, was about 20 years old. He was drunk and in a hbuse with a ques tionable character, and. acted so badly that all parties were afraid to gt near. Mr. Aderholt at the earnest solicitation of othersjnras induced to go in the house when Connelly, uttering an oath, and with a large dirk knife, made for him, but before he reached his man, a 32 e !iWe bullet stopped hiua.

Charlotte Chronicle. . The Governor of North Carolina is not allowed, under the Constitution' our State to succeed himself. This is the reason why Governor Scales is not mentioned in connection with the nom ination for t hat ojiice. Governor Scales has made a conscientious officer, and much as we have disapproved of some of his appointees and act3, we respect him for ins integrity. Wilson Advance.

"Washington Letter. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Feb. 27, 1S8S. - V - . The time for the meeting' of the Demo cratic nominating convention being fixed on Juuy atli, makes it two weeks before the Republican convention meets. This date was not agreed upon without a strug gle for there is an element in the party, wnicn, mougn small ana rapiasy dimin ishing, still believes in waiting for the Republicans to make the issue. The ma jority of the party however, think that the issue has already been fully set forth by the President s message to Congress and tnat no other platform is needed. This ' is the aggressive element, those who carry the elections ; and the present aggressive condition f the party wil rouse iineir enthusiasm to an unusua pitch, will make them think of the many national victories won by the party in ante-bellum days. The selection of the great metropolis of the South-west. St Louis, as tlio place of meeting was the very pest tnat could have been mane. The further the Government printing office investigation roes the better it shows for the democratic management of Mr. Benedict. He has saved the Govern ment already over $200,000 and at the same time done more work than ha j ever been done in the same length of time in the nistory of the office. x t vjuue a numoer oi republican papers have bsen foolish enough to charge Pen- si ? . sion commissioner liiacic witn Having shown favoritism in allowing: the amount. of pensions to soldici-s living in demo cratic btates. A table has been issued bv the Penaion office showing the average pension paid each soldier in each State and Territory. It shows that the largest average amounts are paid to soldiers who are residents of the States and territories which have always given republican ma jorities .bring in another republican ca nard. r The worst squelched man in the House is 31r. lioutelle of Maine, the eeutlemau who recently got rampant over the pro position to return tne captured Confede rate battle flags to their original owners. and who wanted the Secretary of 'War to lurnisn tne 11 ouse vrith a detailed state ment of everything he knew abont these flags. That statement has reached the House-. That is what squelched Boutelle. It contained more information than he wanted. It showed that the Democratic administration had taken much better care of ;the flags than the republicans everdid, and further that not a Confede rate flag with one exception, and that was loaned to be returned, had ever left the possession of the War Department under this administration. The negotiation of the Fisheries tretv would alone of itself be a sufficient rea son for; the people to keep the Govern ment in the hands of the Democratic tar ty. The subject covered. by the treaty has been a constant source of worrv ta this country for more than a hundred years, and nany attempts have been made at! settlement, but none so favora ble to this country as the present treaty. Mr. Mails, Chairman of the House Com mittee on Ways and Means avs that Revenue1 reform is making ranid head way in New England. He was informed n Providence K. I. by a life-long Kepub ican, that although never having rKt. a Democratic vote, this year he Drou'osed to support Cleveland and revenue reform and that he believed there were enough men just use mm to carry tne State. Washington is in mourninz for its fore most private citizen, W. W. Corcoran, the millionaire philanthropist. He was uuneu tnis aiternoon. It is said that the Postmaster-G Dickinsbh is already seriously ill from overwork. SMALL POX IN 'CUBA. New York. Feb. 25.An Amprirnn gentleman traveling in Cuba writes irom navana, under date of Feb. Cth. follows: A protest bv th Wnl board of charity to the mayor of Ha vana awens upon the tact that between May last and January, 18S8, 2,000 per sons have died of small-pox in the city of Havana, and further, that during the same time 4,000 persons in other parts of the island have died, Santiago de Cuba contributing over 1,000 deaths. Ihe protest goes on. to state that the petitioners are at the beginning of an epidemic and that the authorities are doing nothing. Reghvand Guanabacoa, on the har bor of Havana are full of it. Cuban apathy? is best illustrated by the fol lowing; discovery made within a fort night. It was generally supposed that the city had a proper small-pox hospi tal. An inspection . revealed a shed with 48 patients, one negro attendant, with a few quarts of milk, that in the heart of: the city of Havana, a city whose proud boast is that it is the Mecca of the Antilles.
