Author I'll known. The Public Road Question in North Car olina. The following interesting facts are the result of an investigation recent ly made by the North Carolina Geo logical Survey as to the public roads conditions in the State: All but 2 or 3 of the counties in North Carolina are still working the public roads under what is known as the "Old State Law," which requires all male citizens between the ages of 18 and 45 years to work the public roads on an average of 6 days during each year, or pay an amount of mon ey sufficient to provide a substitute for doing this work. Forty-five of these counties, in addition to having this "Old State Law" have a provi sion for a special road tax, which is on an average for the State 1GJ cents on the $100 propety valuation, and 52 cents on the poll. The total amount of money spent on the public roads during the past year was $401,382.00, including the money spent for permanent roads, repairing, grading and all other pur poses. This amount seems surpris ingly large when we consider the wretched condition of some of the roads in the State. However, one county alone (Mecklenburg) spent more than $45,000. And Guilford county recently authorized an issue of $300,000 in bonds for road build ing and is spending several thousands of it each year. Thirty six counties in the State are using convicts in working the public roads; and the total average number of convicts thus employed during the year was 825. However, in not more than a doz en counties of the Slate is this con vict work on the public roads done economically and satisfactorily. The best system probably exists in Mecklenburg county, where about one hundred convicts in two separate camps are worked constantly on the public roads. The average cost there of feeding, clothing and guarding the convicts and providing sleeping quarters, medical attention and all other necessaries averages 23 cents per day per convict. These valuable results are obtained through intelli gent management and business-like methods. So far as we are able to determine the good roads question in North Carolina is more alive than ever be fore, and the Geological Survey is constantly receiving requests from all sections or the State for advice and practical assistance in public road improvement. Our Good Roads Engineer, W. L. Spoon, spends the greater part of his time in visiting the different counties of the State to assist the county authorities in the practical questions of road improve ment; and this is done without cost to the county for his services. The North Carolina Good Roads Association has also recently done some effective educational work for good roads; and the formation of county organizations in most of the counties, under this general State Association, has stimulated the movement in a large degree; and the indications are that the good roads movement will continue its steady and gradual growth during the pres ent year.

I returned home from the Caroli nas and Tennessee the first of the week to find my wife down in bed with the shingles, and is still in bed with the shingles. I thought we had tackled everything that flesh was heir to, but this thing called "shin gles" never struck us before. Wife knows what "shingles" is. I don't, and I never can know unless I should have it. It is a distressing, torment ing, aggravating, uncapitulating thing. One of our good neighbors says she had it, and it lasted her three weeks. She suffered and cried, and cried and suffered. It seems sort of a suffering and crying disease in its influence, and there is no help for it until it runs its course. We had Captain Richmond Pear son Hobson as our guest this week, the evening of his lecture in Carters ville. We were all glad to meet him personally. We found him a charm ing, splendid fellow in the social cir cle, and very bright and entertaining on the platform. His lecture on "The Supremacy of our Navy" is a marvelous lecture. He held his au dience for two hours. There was not a smile nor a tear from start to finish, unless perchance they smiled once over his naming of Chinese cit ies. He is without pathos or humor, but he has good sense and is a fine orator. A good deal like Bryan, not only mentally, but their moral char acters are much alike, splendid and clean. Our people were charmed with Captain Hobson and will be glad to see him again. Judge Fite, of the Cherokee cir cuit, charged his jury some time ago that the playing of pool, where the loser of the game paid the bill, that such pool playing was gambling, and the supreme court the other day held that where two or more persons played pool, the loser paying for the game, the players are guilty of gam bling, and it necessarily follows that the keeper of the tables is guilty of keeping a gambling house. I am glad of such a decision by the supreme court of Georgia. These pool tables are a thing of the devil. There's many a young man hanging around pool tables, and the very hab it itself will make them vagabonds, and to get money to pay for the games that they lose they are some times driven to methods not angelic. I have no respect for the pool room gang, and I hope this decision will put them out of business in Georgia, and it will put them out of business, in my candid judgment, for if you take the gambling element out of pool there's no fun in it, as there is no fun in playing cards without a stake or a prize. Our nice society people have reach ed the point where they cannot en joy a social game of cards without a prize being up. Of course, there will be a way found by some to get around the law, but every man who plays pool now can be put on the wit ness stand, and he has got to swear a lie on the one hand or go to the chaingang on the other, and I'd rath er go to the chaingang for playing pool illegally than to walk the streets a free man by reason of the fact that I had perjured my soul and sworn to a lie to keep out of the chaingang, and a witness brought up before the court will have to answer some ques tions that will make somebody swear a lie or that will convict somebody. Georgia will be infinitely better off with every pool room closed perma nently and forever. There's no good in it; there's no character in it; there is no manhood in it, and there's no fun in it from now on, in my candid judgment. 1 leave this morning for Macon, Ga. Brother George Stuart has broken down in the meetings at Ma con, and I shall go down and take his place until Sunday night. I am told there s a wonderful meeting in progress there, and I am glad always to take a hand wherever God works, and men are being converted to God. I shall begin meetings at Memphis next.Tuesday the 4th. I am so thank ful to God that my health is so much better that I can go back into evang elistic work, more or less. It is a source of great joy to me to see that the time of refreshing from the presence of God is come to the earth again. The great work in Wales and London, and in many points in the United btates, in the last few weeks, is evidence that God is coming again in reviving power, and saving mercy. Oh! but for his grace and power among men, where would the world drift and how degraded man would become. I note with pleasure the peace pro posals. God knows it is time to end that butchery in Manchuria, and I trust that in the next few weeks, on equitable basis, that war can be stopped, and I hope it is the last in stance in which nations will ever again set into butcher each other, and play the bull dog instead of act ing the manly man, for to fight is the first thought of the bull dog, and the last resort of a gentleman. I may fight when a fellow slaps me on one cheek, and I turn the other, and he slaps me on that, then there being no further instructions, I may take a hand in a bull dog scuffle, but it's no credit to me or to the man who provoked the fight. We are all rejoicing over this beau tiful weather. A man that don't feel good a day like this, has reason for feeling bad. Yours trulv, SAM P. JONES.

Great Interest in tbe Meeting to be Held in Greensboro, June 13, 14, IS, and 16. Dr. W. W. Stetson, State Superintendent of Maine to be Pres ent. Interest continues to increase in the great meeting of the North Car olina Teachers' Assembly which will be held in Greensboro, June 13-lb'. The Executive Committee is making extensive preparation for the occa sion. The city of Greensboro never does things by halves, and when it was decided that the Assembly should meet in an inland city, Greensboro cieciueci tnat the meeting should ie held there, and that it should be the greatest educational gathering ever held in the State. She put one thous and dollars into the treasury of the Assembly for the meeting, and thus enabled the Executive Committee to begin the large plans which are un der way. The orogram that is beinir prepar ed guarantees a most significant meeting, a meeting that will certain ly mean a vast deal to the education al progress of the State. Several men and women from outside the State, who are known throughout the entire nation, will be present to take part in the work. Prominent among these will be Dr. W. W. Stet son, State Superintendent of Maine, who will be present during the entire meeting. Dr. Stetson will work with the Department of County Superin tendents in all of their sessions and will address the entire Assembly once or twice. He is a wise man, has a most attractive personality, and is an able speaker. He has done great things in his work in his own state. In his letter to President Foust, ac cepting the invitation to come to the meeting of the Assembly, he says: "I will come when you want me, and speak upon the subjects that you name, if I can." The Committee is very fortunate in securing such a man. They have been equally fortu nate in securing other speakers whose names will be announced with in a few days. An address in regard to the meet ing has been mailed to five thousand teachers in North Carolina, and Sec retary W. D. Carmichael, of Dur ham, says that he is receiving numer ous responses on every mail from teachers saying that they expect to attend the meeting. Strange Supertitions About the Hair. It is said that more fair people than dark ones remain unmarried, and people residing in the country have lighter hair than those who live in towns, owing to the fact that they are more in the sun and fresh air. Black hair was most esteemed by the ancient Jews, while the Greeks and Romans gave the preference to the golden shades. Those with dark hair work best, those with fair hair think the most. Red hair is a sign of pas sion, jealousy, and ardor; auburn shades indicate delicacy and refine ment of taste; dark brown hair com bines strength and susceptibility; while black hair denotes hasty tem per, self-will, and revenge. Black haired people are the most liable to consumption; brown haired to rheu matism and heart disease; red haired to pleurisy, pneumonia, ague, and neuralgia; and fair haired persons to skin diseases. Closely curled hair denotes vivacity and excitability; hair curling in irregular rings on the face indicates good nature and vital ity; hair parting naturally down the center and falling over the temples denotes feminine element, and genius of a certain kind; straight hair in cultured persons indicates evenness of character, honesty of purpose, a clear head, and good talents. Good hair, like good teeth, runs in families, and it is noticeable that mothers with a fine head of hair gen erally transmit it to their daughters. In some families the hair of the men and the women turns gray at an early age. As with families, so with races, and good hair may be looked upon as a national characteristic. At all events, a magnificent head of hair, perfectly alike in color and texture, is a sight for "sair een," and, next to her eyes, is the theme which poets have delighted in dwelling upon since first they sang their praise of wo man. McCall's Magazine. Letter to T. R. Forest Albemarle, N. C. Dear Sir: The Fair Ground build ings, Cobleskill, N Y, were painted Devoe last year.

For sale by C. J. Mauney & Co. THE WAR. Charlotte Observer. The war operations in the Far East during the past week have been of little importance in themselves, and more attention has been given to the ! alleged prospects of peace than any ! thing else. A few days ago it seemed ' likely that negotiations for a termi- nation of the war would soon be un ' der way, but the situation has under ! gone a change which indicates that hostilities may drag on at least for some months yet. It seems certain that feelers regarding possible peace terms have been put out, but little, if anything, accomplished thereby Russia, it is stated, is sending fresh troops and supplies to the neld as fast as possible, and from Japan come reports that fresh levies of troops are being made and continu ally forwarded to Manchuria. The Russians now appear' to be centered around Gunshu Pass, a rail road station about 50 miles north of Tie Pass and some 175 miles south of Harbin, with the Japanese gradually pressing in on them. Reports from Harbin indicate uneasiness there, as if the Russians were not by any means certain that they can hold that point for any length of time. It is said that women and children have been ordered to leave Vladivostock, indicating that the Russians expect the port to be put under siege soon. There has been considerable snow in the section now occupied by the armies, and the roads are getting in bad shape, which will doubtless re tard activity on any pronounced scale. In the eyes of the world, as has been the case for months past, Rus sia is regarded as irretrievably de feated, and it is hard to divine why the Czar should determine to contin ue a hopeless struggle, with the pros pect of indemnity growing daily. Pointed Paragraphs. Chlrairo New. Now let the cold waves cease to wave. Men make money and women make them hand it over. When a woman boards the train for her wedding trip she imagines all her female acquaintances envy her. If some men were to refrain from telling what they don't know it would be a great surprise to their acquaintances. Nothing makes a married woman so mad as to have a bachelor give her the laugh when she tells him he really ought to get married. Marriage is a rank failure when a woman has to play ragtime tunes on a washboard in order to support the alleged man who poses as her hus band. The extent of some people's chari tableness is to attend a charity thea atrical performance where there is a chance of getting the worth of their money. When a society woman can't think of anything more to say at a social function, she moves on and gives the other women a chance to say things about her. Brain Leaks. The Commoner. It takes more than dogma and creed to make a Christian. We strengthen ourselves by the exercise of lifting up others. Satan wastes no time scheming to get hold of a heart full of hate. The happiest man is he who makes the best he can of the worst he gets. Some of our greatest joys are re calling the sorrows we have outlived. It is impossible to make a moun tain of dollars high enough to reach heaven. The giving of a kind word often accomplishes more than the gift of much gold. Some men train their consciences to approve of evil, and then calmy insist that they are doing right.
