THE ROAD RACE Will Be For The Championship of The State. As was exclusively announced in Saturday's Telegram, a bicycle road race will be one of the most prominent features of this year's Fourth of July celebration at the Battle Ground. It was intended at first to make it a lo cal contest and to restrict the riders to those who live in Guilford county but after a consultation among the pro moters of the scheme it was decided to open the race to others and allow any rider in the state to compete. This is a good move as it will create greater interest in the race than was possible to secure had it remained a -purely lo cal affair. By arousing the interest of cyclers throughout the state the "contest will more probably become a permanent attraction of the annual celebrations. The winner of the race will not only 8 ecu re the first prize, which, we are as sured will be one worthy of the race, but he will be declared the champion of North Carolina. This alone should be an incentive to hard work. Two other prizes will be offered in the men's class. The boy's race will be run as announced Saturday with three prizes offered. Let Greensboro cy clists train hard and well and keep the championship of the' state here, Tuning Incidents. Nearly every man having a little knowledge of music sometime essays to tune p'anos. The consequence is in struments not correctly tempered so that they are equal in all the keys. Not long since a socalled tuoer was compelled to acknowledge that he did not understand it and to refund the money. Another not far from Greens boro took the action of a ladies piano all to pieces and scattered it about the room and went up town and got drunk, keeping her in suspense about her piano until he could be sobered up. Still another came to Greensboro on the eve of a concert, took the piano action all to pieces and brushed it up, and being interrogated he confessed to not even having a tuning hammer. Moral: Get Mr. Brockmann to-do your piano work reduced prices during vacation. Local Dru gxtats Meet. The local druggists had a v meeting this afternoon to 'take some action in regard to tHe increase tax on patent medicines, etc. The emergency appro priation bill places a tax of one eighth of a cent on each five cents worth of patent medicine or other goods of orignal packages, such as chewing gum, etc. This tax is regar ded as excessive by druggists who claim the bill will defeat its own ends by driving many preparations out of the market. The action of the drug gists could nbt be learned up to press hour. Court Adjourned. Saturday closed the three weeks term of Superior court for Guilford county, and Judge Robinson went home on the noon train. One of the last cases tried was that mentioned yesterday, John W. Strock er and wife vs Aberdeen & Asheboro railway company. Plaintiffs jvere suing for 15,000 and the jury gave a verdict for 50. W. C. Douglas, of Raleigh, and Shaw and Scales ap- pea red for the railroad and Col. J. T. Morehead for the plaintffs. Second Behaves Well. The officers and men of the Second Regiment, paid off yesterday, behaved beautifully. There was no drunken ness or disorder, no crowd? of soldiers in the city. In fact, last night your correspondent saw only two officers and a sergeant besides the provost guard. All this is in the highest de gree creditable to the regiment. Col. Burgwyn's well-timed order was obeyed to the letter. Col. Olds correspond ence. Prepared For Eventualities. Madrid, June 26, 6 p. m.

The soldiers in the present war have many conveniences that were unknown to the soldiers on either side during the civil war, and one of these is mail facilities. A number of expsrt postal clerks and mail-sorters went to Cuba with General Shafter and a postoffice has been established near Santiago. After a battle,the soldiers who survive an write letters to their home people with the assurance that the letters will be delivered at their destination al most as quickly as in times of peace. What is better still, for the soldier, he can get letters from home with a cer tain degree of regularity . No such condition of affairs existed during the late war, and in many other respects the soldiers of today are more fortunately conditioned than were some of their fathers, who bore many hardships that will not be encountered in the war now in progress.
