MORE ABOUT GOOD ROADS. The Greatest Attractions County Can Offer Are Cood Roads. 'Winston Journal. In speaking of the activity of the Winston Salem board of trade in particular and of the subject of good roads in general, the Greene, boro Daily News has this to say: The attention of the business and professional men of Greensboro is called to the activity of toe board of trade in the "Twin-City." Good roads is the slogan. This organi zation composed of the progressive and aggressive business men ot the "Twin City" is planning for real active work in the matter of macad ami zed thoroughfares throughout the county of Forsyth certainly they are not idle. Nor or they leaving the burden to be borne entirely by the road com missioners of their great and pros perous county. These clear headed, patriotic, progressive busintss men of the "Twin City," realize the importance of good romli to their city, and from their city to the homes of the people and they are leaving no stone un turned to secure these advantages. Every intelligent man must now see that there is no longer any argu ment to be maiie against the invest ment of money, time and labor in the improvement of our highways aDd the national highway is one of the assured accomplishment in the near future. Whether it shall materialize in the form or shape proposed, and along the route, or routes, suggested matters not One thing is certain the campaign for good roads is now on. The city and the county which makes the most aggressive campaign, and which accomplishes the most in the great work of the improvement of their highways are destined to lead along agricultural, commercial ind industrial lines. Another fact that n.ight as well be pasted in tbe hat is that automobiles in some form or design are here to stay. The tourist, whether in search of pleasure or health, prefers his car in the open air to thejciose railroad car, even though he ride in the most luxurious of Pullmans; the capitalist, whether looking for investment, health or recreation finds the auto, mobile the most comfortable and satisfactory mode of travel and that it affords him numberless opportu nities for inspection, observation and investigation of the resources of the country along the line of travel which are not afforded by the rail road car. The same is true of the investor and the student who are seeking fa cilities in their respective lines. It is idle to deny that the greatest attraction a country can afford to the tourists, the capitalist, the in vestor, is good roads it is worth all the other forms of advertising. It's equally true that the stranger will not linger long in a locality where the highways are neglected and not improved. In truth the index to the thrift, the progress, the standing socially, commercially and otherwise, of any community ia the condition of its public roads. A mere glimpse at the highways of a county will at once attract repel intelligence and capital. The Question, then, of momentous iui portance to every community ia the improvement of its highway. Now the point for us is, that what we have said is as true of Greensboro and Guilford as it is of other cities and counties. Surely this is a mat ter of supreme moment to onr peo pie at. this time. In Guilford our people have done well, but we have just begun in fact, we have hardly made much more thaD a beginning. What North Carolina needs above all things else at this time is a rude, perhaps, but thorough awakening on the supreme needs of improved public roads. With all of our exploited progress and industrial development and with all of our boasted uplift and educa tional awakening (and we applaud ' all these heartily, and thank God for them,) yet the fact remains, and must be confessed, that the miser, able condition of the public roads in a majority of the counties of this State is a crowning destruction. Twenty years from today the greatest reproach which history will attach to the Democratic legislature of 1009 will be, not the cowardice displayed in the enactment of a makeshift anti-trust law, but the cowardice and the lack of foresight displayed in the appropriation' of the miserable pittance ot nve thousand dollars "to promote and stimulate the construction of improved roads in North Carolina.

Gypsy Wheel Of Fortune. On a round disk of pasteboard draw sections from the center like the spokes of a wheel. Make as many di visions as you choose and In each di vision put a figure. Now fix your "wheel" to nn upright wooden stand (see illustration) bo tbat the disk will revolve. Now for the "lady" who will tell all the good things that will hap pen to you in the future. Find a pret ty picture of a gypsy maiden, paste It on thin cardboard to stiffen it and then, having carefully cut out the picture, fix firmly to the center of your wheel THE VOKTCKE TELLER. bo that, while the disk revolves, tbe "lady" is stationary.' Now prepare u number of cards, each having a number corresponding with those on the wheel. On each card write a propuwy, such as "You will travel In foreign lauds," etc. The player who wishes to consult the gypsy must set the wheel revolv ing, aud when, it Btops the future is read according to the number indicat ed. Magic With a Wand. Tbe lender of this game must have an accomplice, who goes outside tbe room while the word to be guessed Is chosen. The two must previously ar range thnt the lender who holds the magic word ehnll keep up a constant stream of conversation while flourish ing tbe wand before his blindfolded companion. The accomplice must no tice the first letter In every sentence his companion uses. These are the consonants of the word, while the vowels are represented by tapping tbr wand on th ground, once for a. twice for e. three times for I, four times for o, five times for u. Say the word la cherry. The lead er pretends to make cabalistic signs around the head of his accomplice and remarks. "Can you see. me?" After a lause. and when the accomplice has assured the company he cannot, then the leader proceeds. "How deeply I have dipped Into magic lore none but myself fun say." then taps twice to represent e. "Rub the back of your head, my tlettr brother; It will clear your lnteUc t. Then after a pause he may odd. "Rubbing Is good for weak Intellects," then another pause 'Your intellect, of course. Is not wenk. Still, the rubbing may help you to guess the tvurd, eh?" Then the accomplice, who hai spelled out the word cherry, must re ply: "Yes. brother, you are rlslit. 1 have rubbed out tbe word cherry. Great care must be taken to moke up sentences which will fit into the game and yet give the reiiulred lettets. Th Stag and the Faun. A stag, grown old and peevish, stood stamping bis feet and tossing his bead as had been bis bn tilt of old. All at once be began to bellow In so terrible a manner tbat all tbe animals In the forest were frightened. In the midst of this general consternation a faun approached him. What Is tbe reason. 1 pray yon. that you. wbo formerly were so brave and strong, are now afraid of dogs? You are bigger and better armed than they, yet nevertheless, when a single one of these animals barks, fear seizes you. and you take flight as If all the dogs In tbe country were at your heels." "All that you say Is very true, and I have said as much to myself more than a thousand times. Yet. no mat ter what resolutions I may make, I no sooner bear tbe voice of a dog than I tremble In all my Jlmbs and am obliged, in spite of my strength and courage, to fly and bide myself where I can." Reflections will not cure natural In flrmltles. There are many cowards who pretend to be courageous and val iant when they are out of danger, but when danger really confronts them their courage falls. Their cowardice Is tbe more ridiculous because they seek to hide It under an affected brav ery. From French of Perrln. A Musical Game.

Again with paper and pencil each guest tries to write the longest list of words contained to the word orchestra. The Scientific Parmer. Baltimore American. The State Agricultural Experi ment Station, which is a depart ment of the Maryland Agricultural College, is developing new plans for getting into working touch with the farmers of the State. Th director of the Experiment Station, Dr. II. J. Patterson, advocates a system of instruction for tbe State Agricutu ral College which will result in bringing the institution into closer and more beneficial relationship with the practical farmers. lie is a believer in the agricultural specialist in instruction methods. lie de clares that tbe day for the general teacher in agriculture has passed and that those institutions which are keeping pace with the demands made upon them are having their instructors specialize more and more. And he believes, moreover, that those who are engaged in work ing out the scientific problems of farming should know what the farmer practica ly neds should get his point of view. There is apt always to be some hiatus between the abstract theory and the practical application of any science. The practical farmer is sometimes disposed to take a some what contemptuous view of "book farming." To an extent, at least, this attitude of mind is caused by tbe fact tbat the man who reaches conclusions about soils and plants in the laboratory misses some of tbe actual factors of the farming prob lem as the practical farmer knows them. The theoretic scientist and the practical farmer are constantly getting closer to each other, how ever. 1 be scientific farmer is no longer an anomaly. The scientific investigator has taught th man be hind the plow a few things about intensive farming, and quite as much concerning various economics and th way tj apply them. Substance ot Their Opinion. In ten davs I wa well, sound and healthy and could aleep soundly. " This is the substance of what most of the pa tient say who receive treatment for tbe drug or liquor habit at Dr. Woolleys Vic tor (Sanitarium in Atlanta. These are ex actlv the words of a man who was an ha bitual drinker and frequently drank a quart nf whiskey a day. After eight weeks con tinuoas intoxication he went to Dr Wool ley's Sanitarium with tbe result above de scribed. People from all over the country go to Dr Woollt-y for treitment. Be has a great reputation founded upon the success he has met with in hi practice of over 30 year. Lawrence J. Anhanlt, business manager for David Wartield, brings in from the road the story of tbe manigerof a hrilliag melodrama, in one scene of which a husband enters one door an instant after an admirer of his wife has made hs exit from another. During a run of a week in one city tbe manager noticed that one man, obviously from the country, we t in every night, Finally he remarked to the man tbat he must enjoy the per. formance. "Tolerably so," replied the playgoer, "but some night that husband is going to catch t at other fellow, and 1 want to be on band to see what happens." September Lip- pincotts. A Sprained Aakl.
