Th tUj nifr rk after vou r name sho w& that your si jsctiplioii has expired and is aii invitation to renew. - Th!e oad Question AYe have - passed through another winter and unsettled.' the road question is still Many suggestions have I eix actetl ftponYand still the roads get r worse. During the past winter inter course has Leon almost entirely cut off between ne ghhorhoods by mi passable Tjogs called roads. ' '.' Almost eVery week somebody jumps up and says "work' them by taxation.-" jThe friends of.this idea generally argue that if mureand better work was put pn them they would be better. ' IT you spend a million dollars on the roadi ol any county in North Carolina every year in the way proposed the roads -will be no better; . This Jias been demonstrated time and again by diteh- 1 'inir and throwing up the dirt in the centre. wdrk b -I - This will not do. The nure tills kind the worse the road. A roof ever the road has been suj- ested.! ''hii plan is better than toothing, hiit costly and would not be permanent The only solution is to put rock o j. Make a little good road te very year J and this will last as long as Ve need roads; This is expensive, but is the-chea'pesj and best in the long run. ' We will take Rowan county, for in stance, '..his county is divided into 'thirteen townships. Part of the ic tuuty is andy and there the roads afe fairly good. The red clay section is fearfully bad fur mud. It is esti mated that a good macadamized road can be built fbr about 3,000 per mile. Suppose we make a mile and a half or more of good roads every year Spend .$1000 iri eaclr township annu ally. This will make one-eighth of a mile of road. ' .Rowan ;ounty has several thousand dollars in her .treasury . at this time. The taxes' would be but aMittle higher. This work would be slow, but sure. On-eighti ot a mile in eaclr township would, sou ti make a great change. Of course ty worst places in the roads would, be niacadaiuized first. The fe- sult would be remarkable. It would completely change the country. Prop erty of alikiudi would be more vajuabla " and atl classes of-people would be ben-cfitted.- jLand owners could -afford to give, the rock, and durhig August the teaui cot Id be enloyed in hauling : it on the roads. Joor men not owning teams Could work on the ro-ids, and so the m ney would be paid .back -to our people ;ind -kept in the county. .Town people will not have that ad van ; tage unless they own teams, - but the Value to ibcift would be as great as to the cour try people and they could Easily pa r the additional tax. ; Kow, he question is, would it pay ;i the peop e ofthgi or any other county V to pay a l additional tax of $15,000 or ' f 20,000 per annnm? We assert that it wouiUj pay. a proht ot from 20 to 40 percent per anuum. . Does anything ' in the county pay that much at pres ent? !othi'ng.. Then would it not e wise to make the venture? The people cf this or any other section ol North Carol i a a can afford to tax them ' klves 10 a 'liwited extent every year : aad in the long run realise handsome : "profits. . . ThU is the way and the only way lo t settle the road problem. It' might lake alp mired years to make all the public roads good, but it should be jlmie, and we ought to start the ball right -now. 1 Better Mail Facilities.

The papers for --Mill- Rridge, IJIackmer, Jlarts and other offices in west Rowanj go out to China Grove and are thrown off the vestibule, and if the postmaster con find out their distinationj (for the wrappers frequently burst) he seffds them out. The mail for these offices and for Mooresville, should go by "the Star routr, on which the mail leaves here every Friday morning. There is plenty of room for improvement. This is Correct. The Fanners Mhocatc, of Tarboro, slarfs out by saying a good many true things. Among other things it has the following: TUo Farmers' Alliance is not a proscrtptivc or ganization by any meaas. Some metfenants ana othei-s, for Instance, soeak ot lie AllUnce wltn awe In that respect, but tlielr Ideas a;e; more ranarul thaareal. 1 - This is exactly correct.

But-it i? equally true that they sometimes for-! get and do us wiong in the same way; or otherwise. It has ever been thus since the world began. Representative Mills and Crisp are clearly in the lead at this time in the race for the speakership of t he next House, but it dosent necessarily follow that either of them will be elec ted; there are "dark horses" from the S.mth as well as from other sections. anyone of which mzy win th prize. Tuere is a possibility, jnahy think a strong probability, that a dicker will be made to give one section of the! country tlie speaKcrsaip, anotner tne nomination for president, rnd still anothervthe nomination for Vice-pres ident in order to, insure harmony. Alodern politics is nothing but a series of dickers.
