Since the Ashevillp uWormon
have decided that. Police Judge
Adams was not guilty of miscon-
dact in oflBco on ncponnt of his
failure to y'/osecute the big blind
tigers, the Gazette News has not
let np in their fight for the retire-
mpnt of the judge. Last week they
nhowed that the judge had imposed
a four months pentence on a negro
girl when the limit prescribed by
law was only thirty days. Next
day the judge reduced the sentence
to thirty days, and now the news
paper contends that he did not
have the power to do this.

After some recent experiences on
other railroads we will in future
reftain from criticising the service
furnished the traveling public by
the Southern, and if we hear others
“cussing” we will take it for
granted that they hav^e never been
out of the territory served by the
Southern railway.
We also had some experiences
with the wonderfrl Bell Telephone
company recently. We “got” our
party on the seventeenth call.
According to the contentions of the
Statesville Landmark we take it
that the Bell is preparing to raise
its rates in Raleigh.
As our readers will notice, we are
printing more foreign news this
week than formerly. As this is
somewhat Qf an experiment we
would be very {^ad to linow
if the change meets with the ap
proval of our readers.
We believe Rev. J. C. Owen accu
rately sizes up the Asheville situa
tion in a communication printed
in this issue. ^ Look up this piece
and read it, it w’ill do you good.
YOUR SON
Mother, how is it that you pass
so lightly over the rudeness the
coarseness, even the downright
sinfulness of your boy, only saying :
“Boys will be boys!” Do you ever
say, “Girls will be girls?” Not at
all. Your daughter must submit
to your most exacting ideas of what
is right and pure and seemly. But
with your son you begin before he
is as high as your shoulder to defer
to the whims and willfulness of the
coming man. How soon he begins
to go out and come in unquestioned
either as to hours or places. If
your daughter attempted such a
course of loose behavior you would
think her demented. Imagine her
staying out by the hour, some
times until quite late, and you
knowing nothing of her where
abouts. Imagine her lounging on
corners, smoking cigarettes and in
dulging in vulgar language! You
can imagine nothing of the kind.
She is probably never away an
hour without your knowledge and
approval. Yet your daughter is
far higher and firmer in her purity
than your son is in his. She is im
measurably less likely to contract
a stain than he is. She is—by na
ture, training, example, accepted
‘ *, and the awful penalties of
in woman—generally
dfined and modest in her
Your boy is much
ind more prone
^*et the daugh-
ind guarded
ril, while
a path
ith
around him the deadly spell which
leads to ruin?
Oh S pother, you let your son
grow away frcUn you so soon ! A
great part of his life is spent you
know not where. You think him
still as pure as a little boy who
knelt at your knee and showed you
all his heart, when it may be that
his secret thoughts are full of im
purity. You nev«>r told him of the
peculiar temptations his young
manhood would have to face and
he may have learned more evil in
one hour in low company than you
have dreamed possible. You never
told him solemnly and reverently
how he must keep himself pure-
how he must respect and cherish
womanhood, l>ecause his mother
was a woman. Already he may
have learned to look upon woman
with the glance of a sensualist.
You never gave him any reading
which could enlighten him as to
his duties nnd responsibilities in
the marriage state. You religiously
kept all such things out of his
sight. You thought it improper to
mention such natters to him.
Oh ! mothers! mothers ! we have
prated for centuries on the duties
of motherhood and still we are
lacking in much. Do you not see
that the whole vexed question of
social purity rests upon you? You
can teach your sons what manhood
owes to womanhood. Teach them
to respect you. Show them day by
day and hour by hour what a good,
strong, noble, tender being a wo
man can be. Never let them find
you weak or silly or ignorant.
Remembor that you are the model
by vshich he judges all women. If
you would have his ideal high be
as nearly the ideal woman your self
as hes in your power. '
Oar thoughts have just been
turned towerd the manger at Beth
lehem. Could we mothers only
pattern moreclosply after the holy
mother, who can doubt that our
sons would grow more in the like
ness of the Perfect Man?
The boy who is taught to be
courteous to his sister, to be con
siderate to women, and who as a
young man i^ shown what defer
ence, tenderness and chastity are
required of him toward the woman
he marries—such a son will be one
who with true chivalry regards
woman neither as a slave upon one
hand nor an angel on the other, but
as an equal and a helpmate.
Oh! fortunate son whose rela
tions with his mother are so close,
so tender, so binding that he can
say with Kipling:
If I were hanged on the highest hill
I know whose love would follow me still-
My mother.
If I were drowned in the deepest sea '
I know whose love would reach down to
me-
My mother.
If I were damned in body and soul
I know whose love would make me whole-
My mother.
USE OF CALOMEL
PRACTICALLY STOPPED
For Bilious Attacks, Constipation
and All Liver Troubles, Dan
gerous Calomel Gives Way to
Dodson’s Liver Tone.
Every druggist in the state has
noticed a great falling off in the
sale of calomel. They all give the
same reason. Dodson’s Liver Tone
is taking its place.
“Calomel is often dangerous and
people know it, while Dodson’s
Liver Tone is perfe(?tly safe and
gives better results,” says S. M.
Macfie.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is person
ally guaranteed by S. M. Macfie,
w-ho sells it. A large bottle costs
50 cents, and if it fails to give easy
relief in every ca.se of sluggishness,
you have only to ask for your
money back. It will be promptly
returned.
Dodson’s Liver Tone is a pleas
ant tasting, purely vegetable rem
edy—harmless to both children and
adults. A bottle in the house may
save you a day’s work or keep your
children from missing school. Keep
your liver working and your liver
will not keep you from working.
Best Cough Medicine for
Children.
“I am very glad to say a few
words in praise of Chamberlain’s
'^Jough Remedy,” writes Mrs. Lida
Oewey, Milwaufkee, Wis. “I have
used it for years both for my chil-
dren and myself and it never fails
to relieve and cure a cough or cold.
No family with children should, be
without it as it gives almost imme
diate relief in cases of cronp.”
Dhamberlain's Cough Remedy is
pleasant and safe to take, which is
of ^reat importance when a medi
cine must be given to yonng chil
Iren. For sale by S. M. Macfie. adv^

Let Money Spent Be Levied Upon A»-
■et«ed Valuation of State—New
York Plan Favored.
Country reads should be built and
maintained from the funds of the gen
eral public. No public road is of pure
ly local importance; no community
nor industry but is In some degree
dependent upon the efficiency of all
bighwayg. Since the development of
tiutomobil^ more than half the traf
fic on thJ*’'average country road is
purely city traffic. Why should town
ships, for instance, be made to bear
their equal share for road expense re
gardless of wealth and resources,
when the roads to be built benefit
neighboring communities and even dis
tant cities as much, and sometimes
more, than the Immediate locality.

commerce. Because some of them are
remote from the heart of trade does
not lessen their significance to the
whole.
Let money spent for roads be levied
upon the assessed valuation of the
state, says the Farm and Home. In
Illinois, for instance, 67 per cent, of
the total taxable property is located in
incorporated cities and towns. Should
the 33 per cent, comprising country
property bear all the burden for build
ing and maintaining the highways?
By means of state and county appro
priations, or state and county bonds,
or both, equitably divided, the road
burden would be more fairly distrib
uted. The New York plan of divid
ing the cost between state, county
and town works very well and is prob
ably as fair and just as any that could
be devised.
TO TAX TOBACCO FOR ROADS
Representative Warburton of Wash
ington Has Novel Plan to Raise
$80,000,000 Yearly.
The constructing of a comprehen
sive system of national highways out
of a tax imposed upon the consumers
of tobacco is a proposition which Rep
resentative Warburton of Washington
has embodied in the form of a bill
introduced in the house. He proposes
that a tax shall be imposed so light as
not to be felt by the users of tobacco,
but every puff of smoke from burning
tobacco will represent a part of a
system of highways.
The plan contemplates trunk lines
connecting the capitals of the different
states with the national capital at
Washington and with each other and
running to the different national
parks. The cost of construction is to
be paid out of a tax similar to that of
1879 on tobacco. It is calculated that
the tax will raise ?80,000,000 a year,
or more than twice the amount of In
ternal revenue now collected.
UNITED STATES GOOD ROADS
Estimated That Percentage of Im
proved Thoroughfares Gone Well
Beyond Nine Per Cent.
In the past three years it is roughly
estimated that the percentage of im
proved roads in the United States has
gone well beyond 9 per cent, and possi
bly close to 10 per cent. It is esti
mated that if 20 per cent, of the public
highways were improved—each high
way being selected and improved with
a view to the proportionate traffic up
on it—a high degree of efficiency in
highway transportation would be
reached. It is figured that millions of
dollars would be saved annually in the
transportation of crops, the wear and
tear on horses and vehicles, and in
the minimizing of the waste in truck
farming. W^here roads are bad, the
farmers frequently find It impossible
to get their products to the shipping
points and thus perishable products
are wasted, perceptibly increasing the
cost of living.
Eradication of Dandelion.
The best way to get rid of the dan
delion pest is to devise some use for
them. The moment they become valu- -
able that moment It is going to re
quire a lot of trouble to produce them.
