According to the court calendar there seems to be about eighteen applications for divorce before tha Rowan County Superior Court now in session. Cupids fetters must be losing their power. The public road between Salis bury and China Grove, ?s probably the most important highway in tht county. It is in a. conditio has wouia naraiy nave uaeu creditable fiftv vears ago and net only deserves attention but should be made one of if not the beit in the oounty, Money spent on this road would be a benefit to the peo ple of the oounty, those who pay the taxes, while money Bpent on a road to Baden would in no wise be of equal benefit, in fact could hardly be considered more, than a, waste, except to assist in build ing up that plaoe at Rowan's ex pense. Baden, of course, will be a great addition to the industrial activity of the S.fcate, but instead of building up Salisbury will draw, and is drawing, capital, enterprise and popalaticn from here. Let Rowan money be ep8nt where it will most benefit the people of Rowan. The time ior ssleobing candi dates for the various oounty and State onioers has arrived, the ma terial is abundant and the peo ple should manifest interest, suf ficient to see that the most wortny and oapable should not only be eleoted but should be instructed as to what the want done and alto some things they don't want done. In short the present situ ation is the one wherein popular government giveB the people the opportunity and privilege to take matters into their own hands for the wise and complete control oi their own affairs, whioh oppor tunity, if neglected, will be as sumed by political bosses and Belf seekers. If mistakes have been made, now is the time tp oorrec them; if desired objects have been neglected, now is the time to pro mote them; if reforms are to be i instituted, now is the time to put effort into the work,, and if new measures are' to be adopted, now is the time to agitate. To sit still is equivalent to an unoondi tional surrender, hesitation means failure and success can only be secured by well-directed and per istent effort. There is much that should be .done, both in a constructive way and. as a check on schemers, spend thrifts and eekers after special privileges, and numercus projaots that are anti-democratic, Good old Row an should bring her best men, men whose views are known, men who have respect for majority rule and the ,wish of the people, forward and see that they are elected. Experimenting in such matters is very unsatisfactory at best.
