Fas'cn County Roads.
The following interesting
facts from Gaston county show
the progress now being made in
road improvement in that live
locality :
The public roads in Gaston
are worked by free and hired
labor, superintended by super
visors in each township. Each
supervisor has a supply of tools,
including a road plow. In
Cherryville township the plow
is pulled by a twenty-horse
power traction engine. The
county commissioners are con
templating buying engines for
all the townships. Horses for
plows cost $8 per day. The en
gine is furnished by individuals
for the same money and does
50 per cent more work. The
engiue and plow require four
men and a mule to operate
them ; an engine driver, a plow
tender, a man to fire and un
couple and couple at turning
points, and a man to haul wood
and water for the boiler.
The county convicts are em
ployed in making macadam
roads exclusively. Three
guards and a superintendent
work and care for about forty
men. The whob system in the
county is under the supervision
of a competent and enthusiastic
superintendent of roads, Mr.
W. W. P. Eddleman.

Dont Be a Second-Ciass Man.
You can hardly imagine a
boy saying: "I am going to be
a second class man. I don't
want to be a first-class man
and get the good jobs and high
pay. Secondclass jobs are g)od
enough for me." Such a boy
would be regarded as lacking
in good sence, if not insanity.
Yon- can get to be a second-class
man, however, by not trying to
be first-class one. Thousands
do that all the time, so that
second-class men are a drug on
the market
Second-class things are only
wanted when first-class can't be
had. You wear first-class
clothes if you can pay for them,
eat first-class butter, first-class
meat, and first-class bread ; or
if you don't you wish you could.
Second-class men are no more
wanted than any other second
class commodity. They are
taken and used when the bet
ter article is scarce or is too high
priced for the occasion. For
work that really amounts to
anything, first-class men are
wanted.
Many things make second class
men, A man menaced by dis
sipation, whose understanding
is dull and slow, whose growth
has boen stunted, is a second
class man, if, indeed, he is not
a third-class. A man, who
through his amusements in his 1
hours of leisure, exhausts his
strength and vitality, vitiates
his blood, wears his nerves till
his limbs tremble like leaves in
the wind, is only half a man,
and could in 110 sense be called
first-class.
Everybody knows the things
that make these second-class
characteristics. Boys smoke
cigarettes to be smart
and imitate older boys. Then
they keep 011 because they have
created an appetite as unnatural
as it is harmful. Men get
drunk for all sorts of reasons,
but whatever the reason, they
cannot remain first-class men
and drink. Dissipation in other
forms is pursued because of
pleasures to be derived, but the
surest consequence is that of
becoming second class, below
the standard of the best men
for any purpose.
Every fault you allow to be
come a habit, to get control over
you, helps to make you second;
Cbiss, and put you at a disad
vantage in the race for honor,
position and happiness. Care
lessness as to health fills the
ranks of the inferior. The sub
merged classes that the econo
mists talk about are those that
are below the high water mark
of the best manhood and woman
hood. Sometimes they are sec
ond rate or third rate people,be
cause those who are responsible
for their being and their care
during their minor years were
so before them, but more and
more and more is it becoming
one's own fault if, all through
life, he remains second-class.
Education of some sort, and
even a pretty good sort is pos
sible to practically everyone in
our land. Failure to get the
best educatiou available whether
it be in books or in business
training, is sure to relegate one
to the ranks of the second-class.
—Success.

Some Suggestions for Drainage
of Our Public Roods.
Where the road is built on a
grade, some provision should be
made to prevent the wash of the
gutters into great gullies. r l his
can be done by paving the bot
tom and sides of the gutters
with brick, river rocks or field
stone. In order to make the
flow iu such *ide ditches as
small as possible it is advisable
to construct outlets into the ad
jacent fields or to lay under
ground pipes or tile drains with
openings into ditches at fre-r
quent interyals. I
Thesis of the side ditches
should depend upon the charac-l
ter of the soil and the amount of
water they are expected to car
ry. If possible they should be
located three feet from the edge
qf the traveled roadway, so that
if the latter is 14 feet wide there
will be 20 feet of clear space be
tween ditches.

THE BEST REMEDY FOR CROUP.
[From the Atchinson. Kan., Globe]
This is the season of year
when the woman who knows
the best remedies for croup is in
demand in every neighborhood.
One of the most terrible things
in the world is to be awakened
in the middle of the uight by a
whoop from one of the children.
The croup remedies are almost
sure to be lost, in case of croup,
as a revolver is sure to be lost in
case of burglars. There used
to be an old fashioned remedy
for croup, known as hive syrup
and toln. but some modern
mothers say that Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is better, and
does not cost so much. It causes
the patient to throw up the
phlegm quicker, and gives re
lief in shorter time. Give this j
remedy as soon as the croupy |
cough appears and it will 1
prevent the attack. It never
fails and is pleasant and safe:
to take. For sale by Hood
Grantham.

took goo I whiskey, first-class,

"Dat's so boss." said an old

Thanksgiving Day.
By proclamation the Presi
dent has set apart Thursday,
November 27, as a day in
which to thank God for all the
mercies and goodness that he
lias bestowed upon us during
" the pa-st year.
t Thanksgiving day is one of
the institutions peculiar to this
I country. Years ago it was
only a New England institution
but it lias grown so large that
these days it covers the nation.
It is to be deeply regretted
that iu too many cases it is
used more for a day in which to
enjoy outdoor sports ; but ill re
is this to be said, that in almost
. all the cities, towns aud villages
' in America, union religious
services ai'e held iu the largest
churches.
If the people of this country
have not much to thank God for
no people on earth have. From
one end of the United States to
the other the people have been
blessed with prosperity and
have had more of the luxuries
of life than any other people 011
the face of the earth.
The working class have had
about all the work they could
; do, and have been, as a rule,
well paid for what they have
done.
Workingmen have had great
cause for thankfulness all over
the country.
If the people of America are
not a peculiar pe pie they arc a
• much favored people.and should
feel it their duty to bow before
Cod in humility and offer sin
cere thanks that their lot is cast
in this favored land.
Thanksgiving Day should be [
a day when our hearts should
go out toward others—especial- y
ly those who have been less c
favored than we have been. A c
person must have a cold heart ,
who can sit down at the table j
on Thanksgiving Day and par- j
take of turkey, with all the c
good things that go with it, and x
not feel somewhat ashamed if |
he or she has not made some
provision to let others enjoy a t
feast of good things. a
Thanksgiving Day should be |
a day for you and me to prove t
our generosity towards others. (
The real enjoyment of that day c
should be the joy we receive j
from practicing the new com- t
maudment that our Lord gave f
us when 011 earth. You know
what that was.
Do be thankful 011 November j
27th. God has been so good to
all my readers during the past 0
year that they cannot be too [
profuse in their thanks to their
Heavenly Father.
Sit alone by yourself for a t
few minutes and try to count v
the many blessings you have
received. It will only take you j
a few moments to realize that c
. you have realized more than you :
have deserved.
[ All oyer this country whole €
1 families will be assembled to-
gether—in some cases grandpa, t
. grandma, father, mother, chil
. dren and grandchildren. Such .
a gathering is as near to being t
t in Heaven as I can imagine.
When such gatherings get to- j
. gether is the time to sing, "And t
. are we still alive and see each
, other's face?" During the
5 sweet hours which the gather
. ing occupies let no unkind wo.'d t
be uttered. May there be j
nothing but undiluted joy is ny t
prayer for such an occcasion.
Good people get together on •
Thanksgiving Day and make it \
( a day of thanksgiving —not only s
. in name, but in reality.
Fathers and mothers, there t
! are enough sad days in the j
I year without making Thanks-
I giving Day one of them. Re- t
f joice and be glad that you are " t
. alive and have had mercies
strewn in your pathway to help
vou on in your journey through ,
life. J

011 Thanksgiving Day. Re
member those relatives who
have not been blessed as you
•have been. Try the experiment
of forgetting self and fling out
your blessings'upon those who
have a strong claim on you.
Thanksgiving Day will be
upon you before you are fully
aware of it, so be up and doing
before the festal day dawns
upon you. Look with sweet an
ticipation to the day when you
can have the blessed opportun
ity of giving some of the good
things that God has given you
to others. Blessed is he that
havetli more 011 the evening of
Thanksgiving Day than he had
iu the morning; and thrice
blessed is lie who ends Thanks

than he possessed ir» the moni
ing.
The man or woman who eats
too much on Thanksgiving Day
will not feel so well 011 going to
bed as when the)- arose. But
lie or she who divides up with
others will know and feel the
joy of having done well.
We ought to be thankful
every day in the year; but it
will not hurt us to be extra
thankful one day in tho year.
Aud Thanksgiving Day is the
proper day for such an eveflt to
take place.
Be extra good 011 Thansgiving
Day to everybody and every
thing living with which you
come in contact. The animals
011 your farm or in your house
ought to be made to understand
that you are better than usual.
Let the old homesetad ring with
the merry laugh of elildhood
and the peculiar expressions of
joy that only old people can
give.
God has been so good to you
that you must not forget to lift
up your voices in praise to Iliiu
for what he has done for you —
not in requests for him to do
something wonderful for you in
the future.
Let gratitude take possession
of your hearts ; and may your
lips speak forth your praises
from the time you arise in the
morning until you retire at
night.—George 11. Scott.
