Nov; thai the '-Northampton : t ad ia vr ai d its execution is in such a muddle in as bad fix as the roads have been dun ng the past winter the road question is of great interest to our people. We copy with approval the follow ing which we find in the Raleigh Post. How many millions of dollars have the bad roads of the past three months cost the people- merchants, as well as fanrers and farmers as well as merchants Mid other citizens. The floods arid the continued rains ha7e surely been disastrous visitations upon our people, but thu bad roads have added immensely to this injury and the direct loss of the people. - After-writing the above our at tention was attracted to the fol lowing excellent and timely arti -le in the North Carolina Chris tian Advocate of Greensboro, up on "The Ethical Side of the Road Question." Bro. Crawford is right in his conclusions that, be sides the great liLancial loss growing out of bad roads such as prevail universally this spring, they not oniy praveutgooi chris tiaus from properly cultivating the religion they havo, but actu ally encourage many those who have from necessity to drive or travel upon them to lose that which they hava. The matter is worthy the serious consideration of our peopie from'ail standpoints Says the Advocate: "The winter of eighteen hun dred and ninety nine will loug.be memoriabla in our history. Nei ther city nor country people will soon forget it. The intensely cold weather; the heavy freezes and the abundance of ice and snow; but above .ait wili be remembered the almost impassable roads. For two months poopia who were obliged to travel through the country in middle and Wes tern North Carolina found it nec essaey to trudge through mud up to the axles of their vehicles, while the horse struggled to keep from miring and falling. What it has coat the people fi nancially can never be estimated but we are quite sure if the dam age done vehicles and animals, with the losses caused by travel being suspended and delays en forced, could be accurately com puted and that a ount had beetr spent last summer for wisely di rected road improvements, we would to day have a very differ ent state of things with very lit tie additional cost Among the many economic and material problems now pressing for solution, there are Lone of more importance to the c untry md to the whole people than the nad problem. Every good citi z:u ought to begin now and con unue to agitate the question until i gr--.5at revolution is caused, and until every county adopts ameas i e similar to the Mecklenburg ouuty road law, and all needed :ciiiii s are supplied for carry -tig out fully all -its piovisions. Such a policy will prove a payiu'g ! u'vest uie'nt - at any reasonable e st. It will open up the country nuance tho value of lands, bring now. undesirable property :.io market, and greatly increase rivei by private aud public cou k'e auces. - But we waut especial'y to em phasize , the ethical side cf the problem. Good roads greatly 'romota the moral and religious interest of a com munity, and bad highways has a demoralizing and corrupting influence. It is not an easy matter for ti e a ve rage tea m s te r to be d e v u u t u;d patieut and spiritually mind ed, with liis waou svyamped in the mud. and bimself mi vc ring in the cold and rain. It is a very difficult thing for men of ordina ry pie'y to be gentle and merci fal and good tempered with their orses balked in the roadway.and .i-o help in reach- LIrw much at ger, how much profanity, how much cruelty is occasioned, if not ausd by bad roads. Dumb animals ' cannot spo 1; nor plead thair own cau; they have rights that should ba 'espected. To overload them and j then beat and bruise them in or. j der to get the load to market, over roads that are almost im passable, is a crime and sin. Who is responsible; the owner of the stock, the driver, or the citizens of tae county? Certainly the people who through iguorance negligence, or stinginess allow such a condition of things are ot guiltless. Another phrase of the subject ought to be stressed. It is this: Bad roads greatly interf..re with' religion and church work. Dur ing the winter months farmers Tfave more leisure aud mor : time than at any other season to at tend preaching and public meet ings. It is during this period the country congregations ought to become thoroughly organized and equipped for aggressive work. A fresh impetus should ba given to all the activities of the church;re vival meetings, missionary insti ! tutes, Sunday schocl and Epworth L -ague convention held, .ndeed the best work in every depart ment ouilit to b6 dum during the Tinter months. But the fact is comp iratively speaking, very little is done. The roads .ire in tho -.. way. The.'peo pie cannot get to the churches without plodding through the eaud and possibly injuring their horses, or breaking their vehicles or endangering their lives or limbs. The result is every branch of church work suffers and there is great loss to the peo pie and to the cause of Christ.' It is a fact that we all deplore that so little has been done during th first quarter of the present year. It will require the greatest pos sible effort on the part of our pas tors to overcome the loss sus tained by unavoidable hiudrances during. the past three months. We would like to see a great revolution in the public mind on the road question. Nothing would so facilitate our work in the Western North Caro lina Conference as good roads. We esteem it a religious duty to agitate this question, and we hope a great company of our people will join us." ' m mt Give Little Gifts. A wor.an's paper recently gave a true story which should carry a suggestion to every read er Mrs. Blank, a woman of moans and culture, suddenly dis coverel one day that she was growing old. Her house was tilled with beautiful objects, the accumulation of a lifetime. "I have enjoyed them long enough," she said. "It is time that I was done with the care of 'things.' If I give them now to the right people, they will be use ful. If they are disposed of in discriminately when I am dead, they will be of little value." She proceeded therefore, to give away her. treasures where they were needed aud would be i vaiueu lo a worker among cniia- ren in the slums wenta stereopti con; books to oor libraries in the country, photographs to schools. To a hospital for sick children she sent a collection of scrap-books,-tilled, with pictures which.' in the course of years, she uad cut from the illustrated pa pers. Most of her brica-brac treasures were given where they would atfoid pleasure. 'Gcither up the fragments, that fiothing.be lost," was her motto None of us realize now many hungry poor are waiting for all the crumbs that fall, from the rich man's table. The old maga zine, thrustinto the waste b -sket. .vould bring a happy hour to some isr d woman on a Western ranch The-i-dd bits of silk and muslin .. ' r .i ' : A or; Uieuooroi ine sev-ius.-rojui .vceuid give delight to the crip ;;! children in a hospital ward.. It is 'much easier to give a r.ote or a check in charity than to .find where trifles .'are neeuvd. and then to send the trifles. "I have no time for such work, " we plead every day. But Christ found time, not on ly to bless the children, but to take them in His arms before He blessed them, although He had but three years of public life in which to do Bis Father's busi ness in the world.; Was not that His Father's buisness?Youth's Companion. Aii Orphan Acre. We waut to make a suggestion toour farmer friends and readers Merely suggestion ad we leave 1 you "to act according to your own ; sense of duty. It is just this: Tuat you select this year a rich spot on your farm, plant it in what you think can be raised most profitable, tend it caref uly and conscientiously and send the proceeds or the produce to aid in the support of the eo hundred and tifteen orphan boys and girls in'. the Oxford Orphan Asylum, or tne children in some other or phanage in North Clrolina. This is done in other jfstates and I know the farmersHn our state areas charitably inclined as any that the sun shines japon. We are all wholly dependent upon our Heavenly- Father for food, for raiments and for all the blessings of life for life itself. From Him must cdme the suu shine, the raiu, the fruitful sea son, the abundant harvest. It is from His bounty that all must be fed. You could not bestow your lov ing labor where it !would yield a greater harvest of redeemed lives, than by following our sug gestion. If you could etyour son interested in this"o$,phans'acre, it would teach him a valuable les son of unselfishness, of generosi ty and of service toothers. In the sweat of your brow you toil Lard for your. own loved ones. May you always be given the strength and the opportunity to provide for them. But never overlook these little unfortunate ciii.dren, bereft of fattier, of home, of support, dependent up on our charity. Feeding an or phan child will never take bread from the mouths of your family. We have God's word for that: David declared after a long life of varied experience and close observation "I have been young and now o d; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful and lehdeth and his seed is blessed." Solomou says: There is that scatteretL and yet increaseth; there is that withholdeth more than is -meet, but it tendeth to p. verty." Read in Ecclesiastes: "Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days." Again we have the promise: "Blessed is he that considereth the poor; the Lord .will deliver him in time of trouble." Farmer friend, sit down and think over the prime importance of this work for the destitute, or phan ochildren of our state a state highly favored of God in fertile soil and bountiful harvest. If you give the matter serious consideration, I believe you will plaut this year a little garden or "orphan acre," and that, next year, if you are permitted to live you will plant another, that you will continue the practice from year to year and thus materially aid this causa in North Carolina and be blessed in 'giving: Wil mington Messenger. . Gleanings From the Works ol Great 3Ieii. No man is born into the world whose work is not born with him There is always work, and tools to work withal, for those who will and blessed are the horny hands of toil Lowell.

The past and future have a certain consecration which they present has not. The mists of memory enchant the one, the glo ries of hope transfigure the oth. er. It is easy enough to be good when you are happy. What a strange thing chance i What wouderful things are born of pure accident? How near we get to happines to fortune to death without kuowing it. Bad we happened to have met such or such persons had we spoken a word that was on our lips or in our hearts, what a change it might have made in our lives, how different all might have been At ! the might have beens! how sad they are!" Who would be great must con centrate his powers; must work within ihe limit of his art. And it is Law alone can give us free dom.- Goethe. Who makes quick use of the moment is a genius of prudence, Lavate r. What a vast proportion of our lives is spent in anxious and -use less forebodings concerning the future either our own or that ol our dear ones; present joys, pres ent blessings slip by and we miss half their flavor, and all for want of faith in Him who provides for the tiniest insect in the sunbeam. Oh! when shall we learn the sweet trust in God thatour lit j le ones teach us every day by their confiding faith in us we. who are so watchful, so loving, so pitiful, so forgiving? Why can not we slip our hand into His each day and walk trustingly over the day's appointed path, thorny oi flowery, crooked or straight, knowing that evening will bring us sleep, p ace, home?

There have been many fiiM sons, aud yet today4 among the living. North Caroliiaeau proud ly point to a son, aud justly take pride in calling him the First Cit izen of North Carolina. There is not a true citizen in North Carolina who does not take pride in claiming this t irst Citi zen for a brother and applauding him for his splendid citizenship. Every charitable inslitutioe has been the recipient of his ben. efact.ons; no public measure in augurated but finds his name in the list of its supporters. Strong in war, generous in peace, courteous to the humble, the quiet benefactor to the ueedy the upholder of the State's indus tries and a contributor to their development, is it any surprise that this First Citizen is honored throughout his State? It is in such a Citizen as Julian S. Carr that North Carolina te jo'ces. A Citizen whose kindness and beneficence knows no limit, so far es his people are concern ed. And yet this First Citizen re mains one of the people. He seeks no high place, no politica; office, no pedestal from which the multitude must stand away and only admire. . He is approachable to . every man, none so poor 6r humble but can find in him a friend, and one in every time of need, It is this life time work, this daily intercourse with one's fel lows, the sharer in good deeds, the promoterof enterprises which mean the uplifting of the needy, which marks this First Citizen. Teachingothers to be self help ful, be showing them the best way, seems to be aver his precept and practice. It is the daily helping hand, the kind word, the cheerful and encouraging glance, which changes men from the downcast and discouraged mool, to the hopeful and optimistic class. No man too poor to b : a helper to his fellow men. nor so rich but that his best monument shall b his acts performed in the flesh. No need for towering monu ments to emphasizi such lives for their deeds live after the u, and men are deveio- ed whose lives bear the fruits of having been grafted upon such splendid characters as are the States First Citizen.
