That Asheboro needs more fac tories is evident to our people. That we need to induce foreign capital to invest in textile and wood working- establish- ments is also self evident. If we want outside capital to invest here we must show faith in our own town and county by invest ing more home capital and launching more home enterprises. We need to learn the lesson that nearly all other towns have learn ed that we must take the iniiia-: tive and show others that we be-1 lieve that Asheboro has advan-! tages over other towns and that it is a good business proposition , to come here and engage in man ufacturing. The organization of i a Board of Trade would be a step in the right direction and would aid materiallv in advertising the town and help to induce outside capital to seek investment here. The death of Ho! Robins, of Asheboro. i close a long and useful of the most prominent i. 3.1. S. rings to a life of one ekizens of Randolph county. Being born of poor, but respectable parents, and reared in the hard school of ad versity, by his own will and de termination he overcome, what would be. to many, hisurmount able difficulties p.ud raised him self to a place of prominence and honor before his fellow men. He exemplified in his life iiun- estv. economy and in IK! by strict adherence to these principles, gained the- respect and confidence of all who knew him. Ho was successful in business, and while he did not become op ulent, yet he amassed enough property to keep himself com fortably through his declining years and left a snug inheritance to his children. His life should be an example and an inspiration to struggling young men who aspire to rise above their natural surroundings and environments. iHE rULLEr old and is str n: mom It has made rnuny. many friends and has met with a rseeption which is very rdtii to the management. The ;eoo;e have responded liberally and the sub scription for the first month has alrej.dy gone beyond the expecta tions, of its promoters. We are thankful to our many iric-nds who have spoken words of en couragement, and assure them that The Bulletin will always be found in the line of duty. Help us to put it in every home in Randolph county. Kurai route jn o. i nas oeen es-1 tablished from Asheboro, begin ning September 1st. If the county commissioners would build the necessary bridges west of Asheboro other routes would be established, giving the farmers much better mail facilities than they now have. The commission ers should supply this necessity speedily. Connecticut's Road Poliy.

Johnson and Ira territory, Connecticut probablv i Scott have gone fishing this week now has a more highly developed , at Marley's mill pond, road system than any other state i Mr. Wm. Watkins, Jr. ' visited in the Union. The legislature j over Sunday with his parents. which is now in session, however is showing a disposition to re spond to the demand for better roads in a spirit far more liberal than has been shown by previous general assemblies. The State Highway Commissioner asked for on appropriation of $700,000 for road betterments, and the bill which has passed the senate, grants $500,000. with $61,000 in addition for the employment of expert engineering skill. The bill is yet to come before the House, but no doubt is entertain ed concerning its final passage in practically its present shape There are about 15,000 miles of public roads in Connecticut, but the aim is to macadamize on ly what may be called the trunk lines the main thoroughfares between important centers. This bmitation will reduce the road bed to be macadamized to about 1,000 miles, which, in a small state like Connecticut, will insure that the improved roads not on ly penetrate into all the counties but will be along such routes as will bring them within daily use by 90 per cent, of all the people.

"With the opening of the Flat head Indian reservation in Mont ana to settlement the coming summer the last large band of buffaloes in the United States will be scattered to the four winds or else removed to the Blackfeet reservation, further north, or into the Milk river country of the Canadian provin ces." This is the statement made by Howard Eaton, of Wyoming, who is interested in the largest herd of buffaloes in the world, mostly belonging to Michael Pablo, who has a herd of about 350 on the Flathead reservation according to the Helena Inde pendent. "The Pablo herd is the largest in existence," said Mr. Eaton, "and comprises one third of all the buffaloes in the world. A few years ago, when 'Buffalo' Jones went broke on a big irrigating scheme, he sol his bunch, which was then in Kansas, to Pablo and Allard, making the largest herd of pure bloods now in the world, and carrying the strains of the old herds of Texas. Indian Territory western and northern Montana, North Dakota and Manitoba." -Ex. Days of The Giants Gone The past was more prolific in the production of giants than the present. In 1830 one of these giants, who was exhibited at Rouen, was ten feet high and the giant Galabra, from Arabia to Rome in the time of Claudius Caesar, was of the same height. Fannum, who lived in the time of Eugene II., was 111 feet in hight. The Chevalier Scrog in his journey to the Peak Teneriffe in one of the caverns of that moun tain the head of a giant who had 60 teeth and who was not less than 15 feet high. The giant Faragus, slain by Orlando, the nephew of Charlemagne, accord ing to reports, was 28 feet high. In 1814 near St. Gernad was found the tomb of the giant Is olent, who was not less than 30 feet high. In 1590 near Rouen was found a skeleton whose head held a bushel of corn and which was 19 feet in height. The giant Bacrt was 22 feet high. In 1623 near the castle in Dauphine a tomb was found 30 feet long. 16 feet wide and eight feet high, on which were cut in gray stone the words "KentolochusRex." The skele ton was found entire and meas 25J feet high, ten feet across the shoulders and five feet from breastbone to the back. But France is not the only country where giant skeletons have been unearthed. Near Palermo, Sicily, in 1516, was found the skeleton of a giant 30 feet high, and in 1559 another 44 feet high. Near Mrgrion, on the same island, in 1816, was found the skeleton of a giant of 30 feet, whose head was the size of a hogshead and each tooth weighed five ounces. $70 Worth of Onions from a Half Acre. Mr. Robert Hartzell, of Cabar rus county, drove into Charlotte early the other morning with three wagon loads of onions that he had raised on one-half acre of land. The 98 bushels that he had were sold in one lot to J. H. Lillycrop at 75 cents per bushel. The gross proceeds from the half acre were more than $70. Mr. Hartzell stated further that he kept more than 10 bushels at home for next year's planting. The onions were of the multiply ing variety and he stated that he expects to raise 200 bushels to the acre. This is the result of di versifying crops. Ex "Rock of Ages" Writing of the famous hymn "Rock of Ages," in the July De lineator, Allan Sutherland says, "When the hymn was written is not known, but we may be sure that it was nothing less than the voice of the Almighty that inspir ed the author to write words of such soul-stirring power. The hymn first appeared, in an unfin ished form, in the Gospel Maga zine of October, 1775, and more fully the succeeding year in the March number of the same period ical. This grand Christian song has had an enormous influence for good on humanity, and has been a favorite with many great per sons. When Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria, lay dying in Windsor Castle, almost his last words were, 'I have had wealth, power and fame, but if these were all that I had had what would I have now ?' And then he was heard repeating softly and ! reverently, 'Rock of Ages, cleft for me, I T.et me hirJe mvsplf in Thee ' Gladstone translated it into Italian, Greek and Latin, but not all translations have been as happy as his. A missionary in India writes that he employed a Hindoo scholar to assist him in translating 'Rock of Ages' into the vernacu lar. His surprise may be imag ined when he read, as the result of the effort of the learned Oriental the first two lines: 'Very old stone, split for my benefit, Let me get under one of your fragments.' " Lynching Decreasing A negro was lynched in Ten nessee the other day and the news of his lynching calls to mind the fa. that such news is growing scarce. There was a time and that not long ago when the average daily report of the Associated Press told of a lynching. If the lynchers skipped a day they made it up by more than one lynching on other days. Now, we hear often of efforts to prevent lvnchina-s. but not often of lynchings. Their decrease is a hopeful sign for our u 7 J r cause they have decreased to a . , , , . , , i , , utwiwng 11 L11C laoL XCW months. We have no figures from which to make a precise statement, but we believe that all who have kept up with the daily news will indorse this opin ion; there have been fewer lynch ings in the South during the year 1905, which is more than half gone than the average number re corded per month during the five preceding years. This decrease in this species of crime is due in part to more earn est efforts on the part of the authorities to protect prisoners than were ever made before. These efforts are not confined to any particular state. Officials of all the states now call out the military in time to prevent lynch ings. Heretofore, they have called them out in time to attend the inquests. Then we are con fident that the law-abiding spirit has grown among the'people, or, perhaps, we would be more ac curate in saying the law-abiding people have exerted greater force They were always in the majority and were in other respects the more influential members of the communities in which they lived. They prevent now where they formesly deplored. And we think the negro is not without his part in this reform. We be lieve that the crime which gen erally called forth acts of mob violence has grown less frequent. The better class of the negroes have exerted their influence and crime perpetrated by their race has decreased. Florida Times Union.

"You are an hour late this morning Sam". "Yes, sah, I know it, sah." ' 'Well, what excuse have you ?' ' "I was kicked by a mule on my way here, sah." "That ought not to have deta ined you an hour, Sam." " Well, you see, boss, it wouldn't have if he'd only have kicked me in dis direction, but he kicked me de other way!" Yonk ers' Statesman. Two little girls became involv ed in a quarrel, the other day, which culminated in physical violence. One of the mothers took her little daughter to task very severely. Wishing to em phasize the enormity of her of fense, the mother said: "It's the devil who tells you to do such nausrhtv thiners. ' ' The little rrivl rnnl i orl VkpfwPPn Robs!

An evangelist in a little town was trying to give his hearers an idea of the length of time those must suffer the end of whose journey is the terminus of the Broad Road. "My brethren," he exhorted, "if a. little bird were to dip its beak in the Atlantic Ocean, gath er up a drop of water and then hop across the continent not fly but hoD its wav inch by inch until it reached the broad j Pacific, and there deposit its lit- j tie drop oi water, want uhck. anu again dip its beak in the Atlantic and continue this operation until it had enrotied the Atlantic into jfche Pacific, my brethren, it wouldn't yet be sunup in hell." Some shuddered in their seats at the awful word-picture, while others of the more zealous breth ren cried aloud, ' 'Amen. " Ex Their Excuses.

Girls. gurls is what boys aint, and that aint much. I never cared much yor gurls they are always giggeling ane making themself silly wich is easy for them.

I doant know anny moar about gurls and doant cair. Ex We Are Not Degenerating We hear from some learned source every little while that this nation is degenerating. "Who." say the pessimists, "look at the revelations of municipal rotten ness. See the outlawry of both capital and labor in their struggles Note the exhibitions of graft ! among business men who 'want ; to know what there is in it for me.' Watch the motions of the frenzied financiers working on the credulity of investors by wholesale swindling they make their millions." That is all true. Pity 'tis true. But it is not true that this whole nation is going to the dogs. Every man is not money mad. Not every man will stamp all higher considerations under his feet for his greed of dollars. There are multiplied thousands who care more for the public good than to be rich. There are the educators. They work for the mere dole in order to educate the. race. There are ministers. Thousands of them live on a pit- j tance in order that they help men up spiritually. Thousands de vote themselves to science and to art for the sake of humanity Thousands give their best thought and some their money to pub lic parks and libraries and asy lums and homes for the friend less. Surely the mad race for dollars on the part of some is a bad tendency. And dangerous. But the mass of the people are all right. They are not less hon est, less brave or patriotic than their fathers. Devotion to family and to church and state is still strong in them. Atlanta Journal DR. D. K. LOCKHART, D1SXTIST, Asheboro, N. C.
