We have before hi d o casion to approve the progressive spir it manifested by the present man agers of the Seaboard Air Line railroad company, and their ef forts to improve the towns and country through which the vari ous lines of raiiroads comprising that system passes. The industrial agents 1 at .ach statioi on this , vast railroad svs tern have rec-ntly, at the request of the chief industrial agent. Mr. John T. Patrick, made a special report. These reports are full and complete, and give da'axiou cerning gardening, farming, stock-raising, manufacturing, schools, churches and all im provern uts in town aud country tributary to; the stations. The report of the agents ai Rica Square contains much of general interest to tho publicbut is too loDg for our columns. At our request we are permitted to copy a part f the closing re marks. After giving a detailed report as enumerated above our agents close by the following reference to our home and the depot at Rich Square: "The industrial department has doubtless been of great benefit to our people as a stimulant. Al most everyone has feltits infiu- ence. r "There has been much improve ment in our village. Every froLt yard is nicely set fn rosebushes, evergreen, flowering shrubs &c. : and is well kept. In one of these a fountain has iust been nlaced which plays beautifully; while the neat and commodious dwellings are indicative of thrift and com fort. "The depot, about one quarter mile from the village proper, is a credit to the agent and to every one concerned. The premises are clean everything nicely paicted or whitewashed, even to the frames around the young pecan trees. These are in a 250 yard row ou the railroad property. "The agCut s .flower yard about 40 X GO feet and 30 feet from the warehouse is a thing of beauty. Here a lovely ' aladiutu is spread ing its '60 inch leaves, while roses abutilons, geraniums, dahlias &c &c. seem vieing with each other in growth an$ beauty, as they are watered . by a brisk little fountain which is playing in the ceuter. Should you like to rest while here, a pretty little sum mer house, in one corner of the yard, with its rustic seats and sceuted vines h oks its invitation.

It is Dot too late so we publish it now and call the attention of our road officers to it It is a subject that concerns us al'. Dear Patron and Gleaner: I have looked in vain over thy columns to find any allusion to the wretched condition of our public roads with deep holes in places and footways and water ways out of order. It is now past midsummer, in a fine season, and I have quearied is there no live commissioner or overseer to go round, see the defects and have them timely put to right. It is the sign of good civilization to keep roads in good order; re cently when in Greensboro I learned the people were goicg to bond it for $300,000 to make good macademized roads. How can hard working and poorly paid farmers haul their goods to market ou bad high ways? How can doctors and ministers get quickly round on their mission of mercy, or the smart lawyer visit his belligerent patrons to hear their complaints soothe their ruffled feelings and re lieve their overburdened pockets? How can the well-to do-people visit about or even the boys and girls in their narrow seated bug gies escape being capsized or jerked on to each others laps from those deep holes left unfilled? A few dollars taken irom the pile of money extracted from poor peo ple's pockets, if welt applied, would fix us up better for the cold and wet weather approach ing. In part s of the North they keep a large plow with which to cut away the weeds from the road side and clean waterways. So dow like a good boy put the matter before the proper author ities that it miy be attended to. With best wishes, Thy friend, J A. Fisher Woodland. N. C. ''Like diamonds raindrops glis ten."

Our boys know a great deal, remarked an exchange, but the majority grow to manhood with out learning to do anything well enough to earn their own living. Skilled labor, whether of the hands or head is always in de mand. Too many boys, with no aptitude or traiting, drift into places which God never meant hem to occupy, and dissatisfac tion to themselves and their em ployers is an inevitable result. Peter the Grant left the throne that he might learn how to build a ship aud he learned thoroughly fro'm stem to stem, from hull to mast The Jews, wise, in their day and generation, gave to every boy, of whatever station or wealth trade. Many a college-bred boy needs to leave the throne of his ideal position and learn tho things with which every day must deal. Or, rather it would oe better with us if each boy earned a trade before he went to college How many college bo can tell what kind of timber will bear the greatest strain or wi'l last tne longest under water HVw manv know how steel is- lade or even pig irou?

In the course of an editorial ou 'Museums at home aud Abroad,' the Man ufactu re rsV Record pays the North Carolina State Muse um a very high compliment It says: "In many of the Slates the ef- j forts to bring together iu muse ums collections representing the histor; and resources of each State have met with very vary ing success. In some the eoliee tions are limited to animals and plants, while in a still larger number of cases the collections represent only the mineral re sources In only a few States has there I cen adopted and car ried out the broader and wiser plan of bringing together in one large and suitable structure col lections representing the history, the art, the industry and thv natural resources of the State. Of all the Southern States, North Carolina has so far taken the lead in this respect. Her State Mu seom was inaugurated some years ago as a collection of the principal rocks and mit efals. From time to time duing the last decade the collections have been increased in number and it varie ty and the space occupied has been doubled and ever, quardru pled. A new. building. is now be ing erected, whioh will double the space already occupied, and which will furnish a large addi tional hall for the historical, archaeological, agricultural and horticultural exhibits. We under stand that this new addition to the museum will be finished bv the end of the present year, aar? museum will then contain withf its walls, as indeed it does t j i large extent already, the eoliee' tions which will represent and will show to the visiting traveler as well as the home people th life a I'd progress and resources of the State. The people of North Carolina may well be proud of their museum, and year aftei year they will become more proud of it as they more fully appreciate its value, for it will serve to bring both people and captial into the Old North State, and will educate her citizens to a higher apprecia tion of what they1 have and have done. We commend this subject t the people in every Southern State. North Carolina is forging ahead id many different directions ind nowhere can this be seeu to better advantage than in her museum at Kaleigh. iilliohs woi m lost. i. son or some Atlanta dealers. - But a few days ago one of the most prominent jobbers in this j city said; ; "Advertising is without value to us. We have to send out trav elers to see our customers." J When Judge Henry Hilton let the great business of A. T. Stew art go to the wall in 189G, with li bilities of $2.539,vK)6, he awoke from a similar dream, but too late to be of any benefit to him self. The Chicago Times Herald noticing this fact, shows that Stewart never ceased to be au advertiser. The notices and an. qouncements of what he had on sale constantly appeared in the newspap?rs. He never thought he. was -too rich, or that his bust ness was too well established, to get along, without advertising. Up to his last days of his life his business was constantly kept be fore the public. After his death the ad vertising stopped or was conducted in a feeble and spas modic way. Says the Times Her aid: It ceased to lead because under Judge Hilton's iranagement it ceased to ad vertise. Judge Hil ton was a shrewd legal and com mercial adviser and hard worker, but no advertiser. He thought the reputation of the house of A T. Stewart would continue to be its own advertisement. But that was where he was mistaken. , There wire rivals in the field who were quick to see the open ing left when Judge Hilton chacg ed the firm's name to E. J. Den- ninjr & Co , aud then to Hilton Hughes & Co. They used prin ter's ink to blot out the strong impress made by A. T.Stewart on the mercantile world. Hilton did nothing to counteract the ad vertising of his rivals until they crowded him from the markets. and in 1896 the firm went to the walls, with liabilities amounting to $2,539 907, and no available as sets. To this pass had the attempt to do business without constant and shrewd advertising reduced the greatest dry goods concern known in the United States twen ty years ago. A. T. Stewart knew his busi ness and Henry Hilton knew his business. .But the business ot Stewart was drv goods and thai of Hilton was law. The one de mands publicity, the other can bt transacted best in a back office In keeping tho A. T, Stewart bargains in silks and cotton good 5 out of print Hilton secured pri vacy in that line, but killed th goose that laid the Stewart gol nen egg. Today the store in which A. T Stewart the advertiser, made the millions which Hilton, the con-advertiser, lost Wanamake: another advertiser, has revived into the busy arena of tradn where millions may be mad again. There is a moral in this for all who care to read. Atlanta Con stitution. Dis versi lied Ca 1 a in i t i es in OurNew Possessions.

None but Cowards Will Inflict Unnecessary Pain On Any thinjr Incapable ot Kesent ing it. In the country where there are no societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals, the law in tended to protect dumb animals from the cruelty so often prac ticed upon them is rarely enforc ed. We have no recollection of a case where this humane law has ever been enforced in Northamp ou, though it is violated every day, . "The following article, written by a lady for the Atlanta Cousti ution, we reproduce wilh the lope that it may cause some one o think more seriously on this 5'bject: ' Does not it seem s-trange that a man claiming to be a Christian, and sometimes a model husband. a fond father, a geuerous friend. and still will be exceedingly cruel toanimtls? A. most abominable practice is cruelty in any form but doubly so when practiced, upon a defenseless animal None but miseraelo cowafds of the lowest type will inflict unnec essary pain upon anything inca pable of resenting it Let a man habitually cruel to animals be brought in contact with one whom he knows is his equal in strength and nine times out of ton he will back out. Why? Simply be cause he is cowardly. God has given the animals into our keeping and iorourlcgili mote use and at the same tirn1 He places a great responsibility on our shoulders, aud as to how we carry that responsibility we are accountable to uoa nimseu. Howr it makes m v heart ache to see the merciless cruelty prac ticed by sotue on the poor de fenseless creatures. Christ said "Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy," and al J so designates a "merciful" man as one that is merciiui to his beast " Some time ago I had oc casion to visit a friend. When I arrived he was not at home. While waiting his wife and I walked down to the pasture to -r - t . see a nne jersey tnat ner nus band had just bought At the gate we met a beautiful colt which came up boldly to his mis tress with every manifestation of pleasure. She patted him affec tionately ou the neck and spoke to him gently and kindly. He seemed to appreciate her atten tion-and followed us about Di rectly the mother of the colt cain up and .ecei'ed the same kind caress, rue came ana lamos also came in for their share of kind notice and staid around us apparently not the least bit afraid.

As w walked back to the house tho ani mais that had been so fearless before all scaiupered off. keeping at a safe distance, tone daring to come near their r.aster. That spoke volumes.
