A Card of Thanks.
Mr. Editor Will you kindly permit
me to thank, through your columns,
all those who have so kindly assisted
us with the bicycle drill.
I wish to thank especially the young
people who have worked so hard and
faithfully in getting up the drill and
to assure them that we appreciate
fully their generous efforts.
Brockmann's orchestra, the owners
of the Banner warehouse, Mr. Marks
for lights free of charge, those who
assisted us with advertising, and last,
but not least, our'darly papers, which
have so kindly and generously kept
the matter before the public; all these
we desire to thank separately and indi
vidually.
And now, one word of apology for
the seats. Every effort was made to
get chairs, but none could be procured
for love money and as a last resort the
improvised seats had to be used.
Again thanking all who have helped
us and the public generally for kindly
interest, Very sincerely,
J. D. Miller,
Rector of St. Andrews.
- Cost of Traveling on Bad Roads.
An illustration of the comparative
cost of hauling over good and bad
roads is furnished by C. E. Ashburn,
Jr., in the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The incident came under his own ob
servation and the roads were in Ken
tucky. He says:
"A machine weighing 16,000 pounds
was drawn four miles on the Brock
turnpike, a macadamized road. It re
quired four mules (4000 pounds to a
mule), and-one-and-one-half hours of
time, at a cost of 15 cents per mule
per hour, or a total cost of four miles
of ninety cents.
'After traveling four miles on mac
adamized turnpike the route lay a lit
tle less than 2000 feet ( less than two
fifths of a mile) on a dirt road. To
travel this 2000 feet it was necessary
to use ten of the best mules and seven
men; and with this force it took nine
hours to complete the journey. The
cost was $89.80, at which rate four
miles would have cost $208.08; or, in
other words, $208.08 is absolutely
thrown away for want of a macadam
ized road."

THERE IS SUCH A LAW.
And It Should be Enforced or Else
Repealed.
Communicated.
Dear Mr. Editor: I notice with
much pleasure that you are endeavor
ing to have all goods boxes kept from
the sidewalks of our city. Several
days ago you said. something like this:
"if there is an ordinance againt such
P"i?t-;.?e it should be enforced and if
there is none there should be."
I had occasion recently to investi
gate this matter and found that there
is an ordinance against having boxes,
etc , on sidewalks, the penalty being a
fine of $-5.00 upoU conviction and $5.00
for every day they are allowed to re
main there.
The only reason that some of our
citizens have not insisted on this law
being enforced is an unwillingness to
break the peace and harmony and
friendly feelings existing between those
who persist in this violation of our
law and those who have to suffer the
great inconvenience and annoyance of
these obstructions. It does seem to. me
that men of clear judgment and integ
rity as these men are who are so
thoughtless of others' rights as to al
low their employees to continue this
nuisance would not take advantage of
this friendly feeling but would try to
do their part to sustain it. However,
patience sometimes ceases to be a vir
tue and if these gentlemen are soon
called up and made to pay for their
violation of this law and disregard
for the rights of others they can blame
no one but themselves.
Allow me, Mr- Editor, in this con
nection to assure you of my hearty
appreciation of the efforts you are
putting forth from time to time to have
public abuses corrected and to build
up and improve our city's interests.
Your success In ' this direction shows
how wisely you have planned.
I only hope you may be a success
ful in remedying the evil above re
ferred as you have been with others.
Very truly yours,
Justice.
Will Be Ordered Out.
Raleigh correspondent to the Char
lotte Observer says:
The general belief is that an order
for the mobilization of the State
Guard will be issued tomorrow. Noth
ing has been done as yet. Major
Hayes is still in Washington, and the
Adjutant General is not here. It is
expected that as soon as the govern
ment calls for troops a mobilization
will be made at Raleigh of North
Carolina's quota. The present
strength of infantry of the Guard is
about 1750, according to the colonels
regiments, while the quota to be called
for it seems, is 2;06S The statement
is made that Gen. R. F. Hoke may be
assigned to command of troops raised
for home defense after the Guard is
put into service. While there is in
tense interest here in war news, there
is not the least excitement. Every
thing awaits tomorrow's develop
ments.
Minister Weodford.
The Observer pause amidst the ac
tivities incident to the war prepara
tions, to repeat that while there is no
public manifestation of admiration for
him in any part of the country, its in
dividual opinion is that nobody has
borne himself a.ny better throughout
the whole business than Minister Wood
ford. In the first place he has done
his best to preserve peace. After that
it is to be said that he has behaved, at
the Spanish capital, surrounded by
hostile influences, with admirable dig
nity and fine courage. His situation
at Madrid has been no less perilous
than that of Gen. Lee at Havana, but
through it all he has never lost his
nerve nor said or done anything that
called for any American to blush for
him. Let us render honor where honor
is due. Charlotte Observer.

pains to see that they get what both you

Then we always try to be prompt in
