The following resolutions
were adopted. Thursday at the
-Good Roads Convention at
Raleigh.'
Kesolvecl. nrst. Tnat we
endorse the work of the office of
public road inquiries of the
United States Department of
Agriculture, for the betterment
of the public highways of the
country, and that we believe that
this office should be enlarged
into a bureau of the Department
of Agriculture with sufficieut ap
propriation at its disposal to ex
tend its work and that we espec
ially urge Senators and Represen
tatives of North Carolinain Con
gress to vote for the oppropria
tion for this office asked for this
year by the Secretary of Ag
riculture. Second, That we believe it is
just as important that the
national government assist in
the impovement of the common
highways and post roads of the
country, as it is for it to care for
rivers and harbors; we, there
fore, favor Federal appropria
tions for highway constructions
such appropriations to be
distributed among the States
and to be expended only where
there is a State appropria
tion, equal to tho amount ap
portioned by tho general govern
ment. Third, That this convention
hereby, heartily endorses tho
work of the National Goon
Roads Association in organizing,
and commend its plan of or
ganization of branch associations
in each State, Territory and
county lor thorough co-operative
action under systematized plan.
Fourth, That we favor and
advocate ohactment of legislation
providing for the office of high
way commissioner of North Caro
lina, and the annual appropriation
of sufficient funds to enable that
office to give proper supervision
to roadjmprovements.
Fifth, That we recommend
the General Assembly make that
provision for giving instruction
in road building at "both the
State University and the Agri
cultural and fa ochanical College.
Sixth. That we urge more
extended use of convict labor iti

Kits Gould's Heme Robbed.
New York, Feb. 13. Daniel
Donovan, known to Miss Helen
Gould as John O'Neill, her sec
ond Butler, was arraigned in a
police court today and pleaded
guilty of having robbed Miss
Gould'p residence. He was form
ally charged with stealing acom-
Ibination opara.and marine glass
valued at $50 but Capt. Titus, of
the detective bureau, thinks he
may have stolen as much as $10,
000 worth of property. The rob-
1 , rine glasses valued at $200.
JAB Fry read a literary select
ion "Tho Gift of tho New
Year." Mrs. Fry's readings are
always enjoyed. It had been do-
jcidedata previous meeting to
take up th study of Via Christi,
a book on Apostolic Missions.
Mrs: Bynum, corresponding
secretary, reported having
ordered a number of copies for
the use of tho society. Perhaps
of
tho meeting was tho opening of
the mite boxes. This collection
was forty dollars and fifty cents,
and is always a free-will offer
ing. Fifty dollars is the amount
assessed this society towards tho
support of two missonaries in a
.foreign field. It must be re
membered that quite a number
who will contribute to this fund
were not present. I trust thoro
were many prayers lor uoas
blessing on every dollar. '"Paul
may plant and Apollos .may
water, but God irivolh the in
crease." Wo should ever keep
the sp'i-M n,;l side ol tho work in
our minds and hearts. Tho
Tho ladies wero asked for any
experience they might have had
iti making their mito box money.
Of courso, most of them freely
admitted that their generous hus
bands had given it; but one
good housewife, the mother of a
large family,' related, in her
modest way, that she had made
four dollars and eleven cents by
embroidering the little linen
collars so much worn, now, for
twenty-fiva cents apiece. It
may be interesting to note, that
the mite box of one lady, who
works for a salary, contained
just three dollars and sixty-five
cents, a penny for every day in
the year. Last, but not least on
tr.e progran was Mrs. Dayvault's
pleasant suprise. She led tho
way to the dining room,1 which
was prettiJy decorated in pink
andfrreen. Dainty refreshments
of cake and frappe and fruits,
in quite a variety, wero served
in a most delightful way, and
it is needless to say wero
heartij enjoyed by all present;
judging from ihe way tho ladies
lingered and chatted loath to
leave so charming ahostess. X.
