During the past winter and early spring months while the people of the country were suffering from bad roads, a great deal of dissatisfaction was ex pressed, and in not a few cases resolves were made for future improvements. So far as known a proportion of this nature has usually met with sufficient opposition to defeat or at least to defer it. And now spring weather has improved their wretched winter con dition, and spring work is engrossing the attention of farmers, there is dan ger that the read improvement will be lost sight of until the return of the usual annual season of impassable roads. We are compelled to admit that our common roads are, on the whole, the worst to be found in any country with the same opportunities. The most feasible way will be to begin at one or more of the most important points, towards which the travel of the country is directed, and from these points im prove greatly in a permanent manner, and the most important of the roads lead ing from them in such a way as to prac tically illustrate the advantages of good roads and gradually bring the people up to the point of a general extension of such improvements. While in many cases a more extended system that would improve more roads and finish them up at once, even if leaving a large indebtedness to be paid off yearly after wards, might really be most advanta geous in the end. The objections made to road improvements by men living off the road are comonly without any good foundation. From necessity of the case every road in the county can not be madcadamized. When the de termination to abandon the present shiftless methods of road making becomes fixed in a county, with the will to incur the necessary expense, good roads may be had. Yours Truly, Ro6s I. Leary. AH INFIDEL Gus M. Setzer died a few days ago at China Grove, Rowan county, N. C. He was a pronounced infidel believing in neither God nor future of any kind. Two weeks before his death, knowing his demise to be imminent, he went to a tree near the yard and under it mark ed a place for his grave, giving instruc tions as to how it was to be dug and his mode of burial. He wanted a layer of cedar brush at the bottom of the grave to be filled up with dirt. He said that when decomposition set in the sap of the free would draw him up the limbs and he could perch jejh, the lop 61 the tree and view the surrounding scenery for ages to come Ex. .
