The Beml-Wkly Messenger (two -age papers), by mail, one year, tLOO; 4tz months, 50 cents, In advance. WILMINGTON, N. C. FRIDAY, JUNE 1 . 1897. THE QUESTION OP GOOD AND BAD ROADS. It requires line upon line to make good a new plan. You must educate by illustration.Take the country roads question. The Messenger has ham mered upon It year after year. In fact this? writer put his shoulder to that wheel ten or fifteen yeara ago. If any etate needs stir ing up on. the matter of better roads It is North. Carolina, for It has many of the worst, and is" far be hind in a proper knowledge of the ad vantages accruing from Improved roads. Poor roads are a disgrace to a half civilized community. How is it then where there is a boast of wholly pivilized? The losses by bad roads are simply immense. Some years ago we obtained some figures and published them, showing the difference In cost in transportation over bad roa4s and good roads. In the north there has been large sums expended in making good roads. Some of the states, like New Jersey, have accomplished already great things in this way. The secretary of the Farmers' Na tional Congress. Mr. John M. Stahl, has but recently published a pamphlet full of instruction and general interest' upon the losses sustained by bad roads to the people. He has made a long, faithful study extending through five or six years. His figures and statis tics are awakening. , He took the cen sus of 1890, as to railroad transporta tion as a basis of calculation. He found that the average annual wagon trans portation of farm products was at that time equivalent to moving 2,640,000,000 tons one mile, and that its cost was $660,000,000. These figures were so large that he held them for months, verify ing them as well as he could, before venturing to make them public. The department of agriculture sent out 10,000 letters, and received 1,200 replies. Basing calculation upon these the de partment estimated that the average annual wagon transportation of farm products is equivalent to hauling 2,659, 873,147 tons one mile. It will be seen that this Is slightly more than Mr. Stahl's figures; but the traffic of the country has increased since the other computation was made. But there is another calculation. President Potter of the League of American Wheelmen, figures that It costs 25 cents a ton for each mile of wagon transportation in the United States. The cost then to move the farm products is put at $665, 000,000. Secretary Stahl estimates that wagon transportation of farm products amounts to $965,000,000. He adds to the Potter figures $300,000,000, for fuel, building material, fencing etc. The of flee of the road inquiry makes it $946,- 414,665. Now ti e calculation is that with real ly good roads well improved and firm that two-thirds of this great sum can be saved annually. After deducting .cost of roads etc., the calculation is that the annual saving through the de cade would be $500,000,000. We do not consider here the wisest, best, most practical way to build the roads. We are concerned now with the important fact that bad roads are a tremendous cost and bad roads ought to be ban ished. The state ought to help the counties. How it is best to be done we do not enter upon here. Mr. Stahl thinks the towns ought .to help the country build te roads. The farmers should show more interest in improved roads. One horse can pull on a hard surface as much as three horses can pull in deep mud. Health and happiness are relative conditions, at any rate, there can be little happiness without health. To give the body its full measure of strength and energy, the blood should be kept pure and vigorous, by the use of Ayer's Sarsaparllla. THE TOWNSHIP VOTE FOB EDU CATION. I A newspaper like The Messenger that has been faithful in advocacy of edu cation for all classes, conditions and races, can not be indifferent to improv ing all the schools from the primary to the highest. The Messenger believes in spending money liberally for edu cation. It does not hold that education is a cure-all. It believes that it is highly .essential, "of the gravest im portance. The head, the heart and the hand must be trained for usefulness. Give the children of North Carolina a chance. A government of the people and for the people, and by the people should be based on a JSound education. The perpetuity of free institutions de pends no little upon public intelligence and purity. Educate, draw out the intellectual powers by training, and let the moral faculties those of the soul be disciplined and strengthened and purified. Then you have men and women who are worth much to a free state or a community. In the month of August next there is to be eld an election that means much for the betterment of the com mon schools of North Carolina. It is an election for local taxation, and it is to be held in every township In all the state, where there is not already a spe cial, tax for the schools. It must not be lost sight of 'by the real friends of education. ' Parents and guardians are particu larly interested. The proposition to be submitted to a vote of the several townships is that $500 be appropriated and in that event the state will aid by a corresponding sum. This will give the township $1,000 for school pur poses after the law takes effect, which will not be before 1899. It was not so designed by the bunglers, but owing to the . extraordinary legislation expend ing far moire than the taxes levied there can be no moneys for the schools in the way proposed at present. Every community that it alive to ed ucation and is strong enough to vote $500 for the schooling proposed wilnot be derelictr If "it is said; that the sum is too "great, beyond. tHa ; needs or; the ability of the townShip 'then: consider this; how much money to expended un- nessartly each year; how much for drinks and smokes and fun and frolic &nd travel and so on. It will probably bo ssen that these will agrregate many timet mora than the proposed, tax. If psopls will help, themselve they will, bt helped. That U the pUn. . It ti fair, it ii tauAi, it ii just. Dcuttisis it .win o nara in poor lowninips to ao tnis, People who art not uatd to stlf-saorW Acs and who cart Uttis for education will hardly make the needed effort to secure the $500 from th state. , HOME FOLKS. ' - , - -Several new books on "Eanctiflca- tion" have appeared; in the south with in a few years. It may possibly split the Methodist E. . church. ? It is an nounced that Rev. John R. Brooks, D. D.; presiding elder in the Charlotte dis trict, is writing a book on it He is a strong thinker. He will make an able work, but he may make it too bulky. He 4s fertile in reflection. Some gentlemen at Fayetteville have requested Information concerning the Perry expedition to Japan. The ques- lion mootea is, am viMiniiyuimr jrcny open up trade etc. with Japan or was it Secretary of Navy William A. Gra ham? There is no doubt that our able and faithful North Carolinian was the author of the movement. Appleton'a Cyclopaedia of Biographya northern work with intense northern leanings and preferences, condescends to give a small place to William A. Graham, governor twice, United States senator, secretary of the navy, Peabody com missioner etc. It says: "During his term of office as secretary of the navy, he projected and carried out the expe dition to Japan under Commodore Per ry;" Vol. 2. page 702, name W. A. Graham. The Philadelphia Record showed re cently how well it is posted as to the Mecklenburg declaration. It said: "Em inent authorities have pretty conclu sively proved, however, that the Meek lenburg resolutions were not authen tic." They, have dbne nothing ot the rost. Dr. Welling, Mr. Spoff ord and a one or two other northern writers un dertook ,to demolish the contention and fact of a declaration at Charlotte. But the evidence remains overwhelming. Recently an eminent Virginian long resident in England, and a . writer in history and biography, wrote that the Graham pamphlet on the genuineness of the declaration was overwhelming and absolutely conclusive. The Record should write to Professor Graham,; at Charlotte, and get a copy and read it. Most coughs may be cured a few ... hours or at any rate a few days, by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, With such a prompt and sure remedy as this at hand, there is no need of prolonging the agony for weeks and months. Keep this remedy in your house. THE NEW BICYCLE. Is the new bicycle in danger? There are doctors of established reputations who say it is very hurtful to many riders. Some are permanently injured Then the use of it is driving out horses injuring business of many kinds, and interfering in many ways with the prosperity of men. Then it is said by the ministry in some communities that it injures the Sunday schools and at tendance upon church, and is a con stant violator of the sacredness of the Lord's Day. Then again it is reported that it is seriously interfering, with the furniture dealers in the department, of the cradle and baby carriage. How all this is we do not pretend to be in formed. Now comes news from the great Inventive wizard, Tom Edison He is talking of a new method of pro pulsion or locomotion. He says that not long hence there will be a substi tute for the present bicycle. The Mes senger gave it recently. It is a light, noiseless motor-bicycle, ,not to cost more than $100, and perhaps less, and it will send the bicycle" to the rear. It is a horseless carriage of a new make and plan. If Edison is " working iii that di rection look out for a surprise and a success, it may injure tne Dicyeie Dust iness somewhat but it cannot displace it for it is useful and pleasant and ben eficial to hundreds of thousands. t SHARPS AND FLATS. The republicans are comipellinJg by their unwise course in seeking to make higher the tariff taxes that tlhb battle as to taxation shall be foUgthit again. They have been badly whipped In every battle for protection beginning with 1896. . They wSll be defeated again, but it will take time and effort Ito do It. The present movement in the congress is needless, te unwise, is: delaying busi ness, is in fact helping to aisorganitofe trade more and imore. , The senate bill is so absurd and blundering, like the Dingley MT1 it rejects, that If It passes it cannot stand long. Thiis country will not bear such a monstrosity as a fixed oppressor. Think of a Jaw pro hibiting Americans -going to. Europe returning with more than $100 worth of ; clothing. The contention is -that tourists are generally well-to-dte and buy largely to Europe and that $47, 000,000 come in duty free. The scheme of limitation to $100, each, traveller, Is said to come from mien directly Inter ested in keeping- out all foreign eld th ing. How much there is in all tihis we do not know. ; - . The south lis not asleep as to 'cot ton manufacturing. While four south ern mills toave recently closed' because of the hard jfcimes, others are on the way. The progress has, been Satisfac tory and very striking. ThVsptodItes that have been addied In the south within two years suxpass all that have been added to all New England. That is true, no doubt. So said Reprelseniba tive Dovertng, of. 'Massachusetts, In the United States (house. OHe saM that withln two years tihe souith's ad dition of spindles had been 882,746, and New England's only 671,223, the former being an increase or 39 per cent, and the latter of 5 1-3 per cent. He Is a cdtton milling' New Englander himself. He added this :- somewltll sujpirlsing stateroent:"'If I were asked where, In all our country, was to be found the best planned, best ordered! and best equipped man running' on low Wumbtera, and at tih-best profi t, I would point to South Caroliaa.,fj ; jBuit; Hjnioiriih is not Satisfied to take this statement" unless coupling' it with error,' gross and, mis leading. These great things, ithtese im provements are 6lf dm by New Eng land" men with New En'gland; money. And that Is not jtrue. ' It is absolutely false. The Philadelphiia : Record, thait should be ibettep posted, says: f'TTne reason of this la easy to understand. Most, ff not aU, "of the new cotton wiHls1 in the south have been: erected: by northern - capitalists . who have been Identified with cotton manjufaettirlng iritefrests in New England." Of the 140 or more oot'tjon factories in North Car olina not five have been built by New England money and by Nw England men, Such error 'grow very stale. TOiitro J ho doubt of two things that tfce country vary badly needs a tuw in th tide of business md that thus far it la very bard to see the turn, tor of that Everybody wants It aaid hope for It, talks of it, wMl bu't few have been 'able with optios keen to discover It, There 4a a (Studied effort on , the part of republican organs to (make a business revival present. Some of the trade journals are apt Ito take the very best possible view weekly. But Bradstreet's of the 29th, of May was - ndt specially rose-colored. In fact It admitted that the result of spring trade In staples is disappointing. and the season Is over. It says trad1 has "been Jess than1 was exipecteld." Tt aldds that "nearly all central western and southern "trade centres are very quiet." Here is Its story th outlook: "Dry goods ooritfaime depressed, cot- iron products selling with, difficulty; some varieties Only on oontoessionBt. The announcement of reduced or pass ed cotton mill dividends and that sev eral large establishments wiM shlut down to enable oonsuimp'tioni to over take production, wfaieh, coupled with comparative indifference of consumers o the lowest prices on record for iron and steel, "would appear to suffldierttily general trade." This Is not encouraglnig.. It says also that of 'twenty of the more fenportan't Staple products only two have aklvanc- ed," the others remaining unldhan'ged. Dun 'tries to make the best showing possible, but admits that there "lis Tit tle (profit to trade." . Ex-Senator Ingalls knows exactly how to put the right brand on a bad thing, anid how to jiibbet the conspira tors against the' people. He said but recently with biting and forceful words that "it would be beltter that the tariff bHl should fall than tlhe senate sugar sdhedule should stand. It Is the most brazen anki audacious holdrup of the century. It makes traSn robbing re- spCctable. - It has no excuse except the insatiable greed and rapacity of the most shameless squaid Of plunderers that lever, escaped the penitentiary. Ordinarily marauders are Content Wo rob a bank, or .swindle a community. These brigands propose to piQlaige tihe nation, and to compel congress to be come1 accomplices." That describes precisely. . Do not wear impermeable and tight- fitting hats that constrict the blood vessels of the scalp. Use Hall's Hair Renewer occasionally, and you will not be bald. SNAPS. (Fifty thousamd workmen in the coal mines of Pennsylvania are on a strike, The bime'talTist delegation to Europe have been well received In Paris. The boltocrats in Iowa have declared that they will stay bolters. They will probably slide Into the republican ranks and be absorbed. It is a fact that the silver men in congress are together as to currency, A recent meeting attended by the men of all parties showed this. It Is said! to he a fact that in every state that has given out a deliverance as to currency that the democracy is solid for the bimetallic fight. Senator Morgan says his resolution If ft passes, will be followed by war with Spain. It will not pass with the belief. This country is .ndt spilin for a fight." Kentucky democrats 'are all right. In state convention they indorse tlhe dem ocratia national platform of 1896, and W. J. Bryan for president in 1900. They take no step backward. The greedy republican robbers in the senate have no favor for southern planters. They refuse to put cotton ties upon the free list wi'tfti western wheat growers' binding twine.. Those republican robbers are a f ragrant set. The Hartford Courant calls the talk in behalf of CUba In the Senate "fool talk." It Is much beltter and more patriotic "talk" than that heard in Connecticut about 1812, when this coun try was getting into a war with Great Britain. The anti-toxin diphtheria remedy has been thoroughly tried. The New York Medical Record reports 1,704 severe Cases. The mortality was much reduc ed, but the death rate was as high, as 21.12 per cent. Before 'the new cure there were but 27 per cen't, of recovery. Why Should southern writers class Mrs. Margaret J. Preston as one of the south's authors? She was a woman of rarest excellence, and of something very like genius, but She was born to Pennsylvania (but married in Virginia. She wrote poems that deserve a place to every anthology of American poets. Mr. J. T. Graves, of- South Carolina, gives $1,000 to the Universtty' of Geor gia and calls upon others to raise $99, 000 so the total may be $100,000. There are 2,100 living alumni of the univer sity. We have often wondered why the alumni of the University of Nor'th Carolina did not raise two or three hundred thousand -dollars for that most important and venerable seat of learn ing. . . . And now it is Dave Hill who is talk ing about what the great democraltite party should dC "to get together." What folly! He is of the kickers and can no longer say "I am a damocrat.' His advice or opinion is of mb conse quence. The party is already together and very much so. It is only Dave Most torturing and disfiguring of itching, burning, scaly skin and scalp humors Is in stantly relieved by a 'warm bath with Cdti cuka Soap, a single application of Cutictea (ointment), the great skin cure, and a full dose of CcmcuaA Resolvent, greatest of blood purifiers and humor cures, when all else fails.

County Commissioners Expelled From tie V j 'Board, (Correepondence of The Messenger.) Wilson, N. C, June 3. . 'At the called meetto'g of the county commissioners last Monday quite a sensational thing was done. An order was passed declaring that the services of J. C. Hadley anki Tihios. Felton as members of the board of county com missioners were no longer desired, and they were therefore discharged. Messrs. 'Hadley and Felton were the only two aemocramc members of the board, they lhaving been appointed by the superior court judge last December. This Willi leave the board entirely in the hands of the populists. It is reported1 that Messrs. Hadley 'and 'Felton will tak the 'matter in to the courts. Next Mon day is the time for the election of the county board of education and also for 'tihe election by the county comimiis sioners of three members of the board of trustees of the Wilson graded schools. All of these officers will doubt less be selected from the ranks of 'Che republicans and populists. Mr. P. D. Gold, Jr., son of Elder P.. D.

LOW FOB CASH. - - WORT JUL' Dr. PAUL BARRINGER, Of the University of Virginia, ' Recoimenda Mrs. Griefs Eeci Hair Restorer. A perfect remedy for dandruff and failing hair. 1 Mr. TV R. Neel, of Davidson College, writes i In 1881 my little daughter sud denly and unaccountably lost all her hair. From the crown down and from ar to ear was as bald as the palm of the hand. Months and months passed and the frlxhtful baldness remained. My physician, Dr. Paul Barringjer, recommended Mrs. Griere Hal Hair Restorer. Determined to give it a fair trial I bought a half doaen bottles. Three bottles of It faithfully used, pro duced no visible effect,- but one morn ing:, soon after beginning the fourth bottle,' to our surprise and delight, a new growth of hair appeared and so rapid and complete was the restoration that only one more bottle was needed. Ten years have elapsed and no one has a finer suit of hair. Less than one bottle is often effectual in checking- falling hair. Read inter esting history of R.H.R. MRS. M. G. GRIER, Harrlsburg, N.C.
