It is not contemplated to macada

gested that the experiment of
oiling be applied on this road.
It seems to us just the right
thing and we most pressmgly
urge that it be done. There is
much more than a joke or wild
theory in this matter of road
oiling. It should be tested.
This would be but a short
space, much used and most suit
ably! located for general obser-
vation. If the test should prove
practical it would aid greatly in
the solution of our burning road
question. It will not cost anyi
. great sum to use our commoji

v A Sad But True Story.
i , - ....
-tHerens a story taken from qne
of purjexchanges dthere is a
companion story tor it' with va
ried shadmgs,-in every communi
ty throughout the land. It is a
story brimful of sorrow, disgrace
and ruin and rank injustice. "A
woman barefooted, hungry and
footsore walked through a cer
tain town recently looking for a
poor house. rShe" once was the
hope and pride of a happy home,
a 'reigning society queen,- a lead
er in church - and Sunday school
work. Men adored her, women
envied her, but all rendered . her.
homage. r Beautiful, refined- and
accomplished, pure and spotless.
But the sunshine went put of her
life the shadows came. She
trusted in man's honor and in a
moment of weakness fell. The
proud' woman became ' a social
outcast, a weary homeless wan
derer. Life has no charms for
her. The poor house is her .only
refuge. As she knocks at the
door the author of her degrada
tion leads to the altar a spotless
bride, : amid the congratulations
of those who denounced the poor
victim and made her an outcast.
Orange blossoms, boquets and
honors for the man, degradation
and tears for the woman. He is
applauded, but she- is lost for
ever. v That is the story and how just
and sensible are the. comments
of the Durham Sun on that story.
It; says : '
' 'It comes to our ' mind that
there is retributive justice some
where awaiting these cases.
Methinks in the great hereafter

THE DREYFUS TRIAL.
. The Dreyfus case proceeds
every day in about the same
general trend. A set of hating,
perjuring, prosecuting military
officers who dread, the conse
.quenses of light and justice try
lay admittedly false testimony to
make a willing court believe-that
the defendant is guilty but it
seems that even this is hardly
possible.
Gen. Mercer who has been re
garded as the worst witness
against Dreyfus admitted in
court Friday that evidence prac
tically known to be false was
5used jh convicting Dreyfus.
'Col. Piquart is the one witness
that will be apt to overcome all
ithe false ' testimony and get a
verdict of innocence if such is
possible.

Carpet Mills in the Southern States.
.-There' have been recently es
tablished in the South along the
Southern Railway three carpet
mills. The making of carpets is
an industry new to this section,
but recent developments indicate
a very healthful growth and a
strong and permanent industry.
The first plant put in, .operation
was that of Gaffney Carpet Man
ufacturing Company, of Gaffney,
S. C, which began placing its
product upon " the "market last
Septeniber. t
; The plant includes the mam
building: 74x164 feet, partly two
and three stories, dye nouse,i
boiler room, engine house ana
office building, and it is equipped
with thirtv-one yard-wide looms.
and nine art-squre looms, three
and tour yams wiae, aii ior - in
grain carpets. It is said the an
nual product is about 600,000
yards of goods.
On July 19th the Anmston
Carpet Mill, of Anmston, Ala.,
began operations under very
favorable auspices, making tue
first yard of carpet ever turned
out by an Alabama mill. The
plant, while not a large one, is a
model in itself. It makes unions,
an all-cotton carpet, half wool,'
and extra super, and all-wool
carpet.
Facilities have been reserved
for the indefinite extension of
the plant, and if competent help
can be secured, and the mill is
the success expected,' extensive
enlargements are contemplated.
The third factory will be in
Greensboro, N. C, and is being
established bythe Van Deventer
Carpet Company. - From eighty
to one hundred looms will be in
stalled and the equipment will be
the .latest ; improved machinery

Mr. - J A Price one of the car
penters .at work; ion y the r: Elks
Temple, had an exciting expert-!
ence this morning. Mr. Pricei
was at work on ther balcony. He
was standing on a single plank
that had been thrown across the
skeleton work of the balcony,
when the piece of timber gave
way. Mr. Price fell through the
opening to the pavement below,
a distance of about 15 feet. He
landed on his hip and, for a time,
it was feared he was seriously in
jured. He, however, was able
to get up shortly afterwards,
and, to the surprise of all, an
examination proved that no
bones were broken. In his de
scent Mr. Price came near land
ing on the heads of two young
ladies who were v passing under
the balcony at the time the plank
gave way. Charlotte News.
