BETTER COUNTRY ROADS. The Need of Good Country Roads," has been made the .subject of an ex tended article in I' arson's Magazine for Mav. 1!')0, by Theodore Dreiser. He says: "Streams and rivers have been brought to our arid deserts, forests planted, ami more railroads, tele graph and telephone lines built in the L'nited States, than in all the rest of the world combined, yet we have trusted largely to I'rovidence for our country roads."' The question of transportation is no small item in the calculations of the merchant who furnishes farmers with their .supplies but the farmer has never taken up this matter seriously or counted the jreat cost he is subjected to by almost impass able roads. Koad improvement is the question of the hour. Charlotte, Wilmington, Greensboro and Kaleih, have been aroused to its importance, and these cities have largely added to their commercial prosperity thereby. The farms around Charlotte have been rendered much more profitable to the tillers of the soil, because the cost of marketing products has been so greatly reduced. Ft' arsons Matjnzinc routaiiis two il lustrations: One, a h;iwii !v 20 horses moving over the old coun try road 11 tons, uher.i- over a steel-tracked road, one hore is rep resented :n dra'vitiLT 11 t mi - ; t he-e pictures are t;:km fr.m I'n i t Slates Depart ment of rrieu!t urt: record-. In Massachusetts, country rords are built at a cost of $0,000 :t mile, while very jjood roads in North Carolina have cost but f 1,500 pci mile Our Count v has in the past expt iuicd hire sums for t he const ruct ion of railroads and affording; Collegiate education for idle negroes and yet hesitates to vole bonds for road improvement. The interest on bonds issued for lu miles of road would be but $700.0.1 per an num. With three or four roads diverging; from Henderson for 10 miles each, the county could well af ford the outlay of interest on the bonds issued for construction and create a sinking fund at the same time to retire the bonds at maturity, say .r0 years hence. This matter of road improvement has entered large ly into the improvement of value of stock in the different factories cen tered in the cities of this State named above. What can Henderson's business men or the farmers conveying their products to market promise them selves when one travelling in it on any mail, will wish he had taken the other road? It is doubtful whether any town or city in this State is cursed by such impassable approaches. There are times in the rainy season when it is all that two horses can do to haul an empty waon. Under changed conditions with improved roads, farmers can utalize the wet seasons to go to town to do their trading and employ their time during good spells of weather on their farms. There are so many arguments involv ing increased comfort, economy and profits, that it would require more Space than can be spared in this issue to more than touch upon a few points. The wear and tear of horses, wagons and buggies each year is several times greater than the tax would be. while the ease with which products of the farm, garden, orchard and forests could be marketed, would give many a farmer an extra dollar which finds no lodgement in his jM)ckct under present conditions. We will take occasion to enlarge on this all engrossing subject again. As the Hon. Huek" Kitehin is to have two sons in Congress, we rise to make the suggestion that perhaps there may be good Senatorial timber in the old man. The trial of Kev.

John Skelton Williams stated in one of his addresses during his recent trip that "the completion of the Seaboard Air Line System marks the financial independence of the Southern people. We owe not a cent to the bankers of Philadelphia or New York. The people of the South have made the Seaboard Air Line. It was not made by any one man or set of men." This is certainly gratifying, not in nnv wav as obiectinir to capital from New York. Philadelphia or elsewhere, but because it emphasizes me reDa bilitation as well as financial independ ence of our own South and its ability to establish lan'e undertaking i he capital from the North or elsewhere is welcomed by our people, out u is none the less an occasion for local pride to feel that our ow n people are at least in a conoition to start a oig business on their own account. The Richmond Times, commenting on this statement, adds: "The consummation of the i renter ,:ir-d KebeTne is 11 inOlllllllCIlt to Southern energy, enterprise and business sagueitv, and the South' confidence in itself. It shows w hat the South can ac complish in und of herself, and Mr. Wil liams words should stimulate our iteopie to reach out in the inauguration and prosecution to success of other great en terprises for the advancement of this si-c-tion." Raleigh W. NORTH CAROLINA SECOND. North Carolina stands second among the Stales in the exhibits made at the Paris Exposition, California alone sur passing her. Mr. T. K. Iiruner, sec retary of the State Agricultural De rtment. who installed the exhibit, says this as we find it in Col. Olds' correspmdence: California, in its usual aggressive, go-ahead wav, stands first, which is no surprise to those who have seen that State's extensive advertising in the past and examined its exhibits at the recent expositions on this side of the water. Hut it is an object lesson to find North Carolina standing second in the quality and quantity and diver sity of the material shown. The tim ber exhibit of this State is more com plete than any other shown, although individual specimens do not, of course, compare in size to the great red woods of the West. In mining and minerals about the same conditions prevail, our native ores and other economic minerals being very com plete! in their series as samples of our great underground wealth. The ex hibit of native medicinal wild plants and herbs seems to be the only one then; at present and will no doubt be a unique display. Cold nuggets and silver nuggets, and a dazzling display of native gem.- cap the exhibit so far as beauty and intrinsic value are con cerned. The mounted game birds of the State are ;. feature and a large displav of photographs of North Caro lina scenery give the visitor a much better idea of the State than he could have had before Secretary Iiruner says everything is very much behind ard it will be two months before nil exhibits are in place. The United Stales, however, is ahead of any other nation in preparation and has received commendations from high quarters on energy shown. For a strong, healthy gal, The South has a friend in the S.

The mechanic, or laborer who lives in a town, and who is dependent on the people of that town or community for employment and who spends his money in another city, has no right to complain if his neighbor refuses to employ him, but instead imports a workman from some other locality to build his house, lay his wall or paint his barn as the cast: may bo. Exchange. Yes, and the merchant or store keeper who iguores his townsman in a different line of business when he wishes to make a purchase, and goes from home to trade, is not entitled to the least consideration from the peo ple of his town. It is the duty of every person residing in a community to as far as possible reciprocate the many benefits which the community has conferred upon him, and the in dividual who fails in this regard is not endowed with that public spirit which characterizes a good citizen.

Completion of the Line From Rich mond to Tampa Celebrated in Ele gant Style. tj tllllf T. . 11UIM1IWIJ, Ilk uuiuiiuj .jioi. j The greatest event in the history of j the revided, re-organized and new j Seaboard Air Line system, was the j completion of the line from Richmond : to Tampa, Fla., and the driving of a J gold spike in Richmond Saturday j afternoon. This system, now em- j bracing 2, GOO miles, and the events attending the first through trains awaken new enthusiasm in Southern railroad circles, and means much to every point where this line touches. The first train, in two sections, containing the officials, directors and invited guests, made the trip from Richmond to Tampa, Fla., in the most highly successful manner. There was not an accident, or anything to mar the remarkable scheme inaugu rated by President John Skelton Wil liams and his associates. The trains were made up of the most splendidly equipped palace cars, and it was a grand whirl of elegance, hospitality, and magnilicent railroad genius, skill and ability a brilliant streak of en thusiasm from Tampa to Richmond. Nothing of the kind has ever before been witnessed in the South. This system had every detail and arrangement perfect, and it paid all of the expenses of banquets, lunch eons and everything along the entire line making the people its guests, instead of accepting hospitality from them. Raleigh's welcome, Saturday morn ing, was most cordial, and some 250 sat down to a most sumptuous break fast. Here the most encouraging words were spoken by railroad men and citizens, that gave promise of greater results and a bright future for the Seaboard Air Line. Raleigh equaled the demonstrations at other places. The party lunched al Petersburg, a few minutes after 2 o'clock, anil representative citizens of that city were the guests. Here was also man ifested a great spirit of enthusiasm for the Seaboard Air Line. On the way to Richmond, frequent slops wore made by people gathering at wayside stations to see President Williams and shake his hand. He spoke to them for a few minutes, and held informal receptions. When we arrived at Richmond it seemed as if the whole State of Vir ginia (lod bless her! had turned out to greet the achievements of a citizen of her city, which is the most brilliant in these closing days of the 19th century. Amid great enthus iasm and in the presence of an im mense crowd, and accompanied by the boom of cannon, firing of salutes by the military, blowing of innumer able whistles, and music of several bands, waving of handkerchiefs and hats, and hiizzahs from thousands of throats, the final act in the comple tion of the Greater Seaboard System took place. When the train came Ur a stand still. Master John Skelton Williams, Jr., the three-year-old son of the President, dressed in a white duck suit, a white cap, and a pair of while kid gloves, with the letters S. A. L. on his cap and jacket, looking as sweet as a new-blown Marshal Neil rose, and as beautiful as a picture of art, with a silver hammer diove the gold spike into the place prepared for it, which connected with the tele graph wires and signalized the open ing of the road at every station along the entire system of 2,600 miles. At every station along the line between Richmond and Tampa the operators hoisted Hags over the stations im mediately after the driving of the spike. The spike was of the regulation size and after the ceremony of driv ing it was over the visitors were driven to the capital square, where speeches were made by (Jovernor Tyler, Z. L. Morris, President of the Chamber of Commerce, Mayor Tay lor, General Joe Wheeler, John Skel ton Williams, and other officials of the road. It was here that all spoke most encouragingly of the road, and the prospects for the future, so full of hope and cheer. The celebration closed in a halo of magnificence with the litting banquet at Hotel Jefferson, that will com memorate the opening of the Greater Seaboard Air Line the new avenue of commerce between the Xorth and the South. The banquet was one of the most elaborate known in the history of the railroad world. Covers for some 3G0 were laid, and was elaborate in all of its appointments. The decorations were superb. The color scheme was white and red. A feature in the floral decorations was a map of the Sea board system, the water being in ivy, the land in white carnations, and the track in pink carnations, with the stations marked by red flowers. "The Railroad" was the dominant idea in the banquet preparations, and the ices were modeled in shapes of en gines, tenders and coaches. At the conclusion little travelling bags were presented each guest, containing cigars and a box of cigarettes and matches. One hundred loving cups were pre sentedone to each of the directors of the railroad companies embraced in the Seaboard's consolidation. The tour and its scenes were over whelmingly grand. Hotel Jefferson was a dream of loveliness, and it would take six day's editions of the Sun. if detiils were given, to describe the magnificence, the cordiality, and the enthusiasm that preceded, at tended and follows this railroad Hash light of the new Seaboard across six Southern States, and as the Queen of Sheba once intimated, the half would not be told.

Public Speaking on the Issues of the Day by .General B. S. Royster and Others. j Dkxtkk, X. C . June 4th, 1900. j Fiiitok Gold Leak: Last Saturday night sv large crowd met at Dexter M j hear public speaking. Ihe talented and gifted Gen. P. S Royster, of Oxford, was the speaker of the occasion. He was there mi time, and discussed the isu-s of the day the amendment with great power and ability. Gen. Royster is one of the rising young men of our State, a man in whom our people have great con fidence, and it is expected that his efforts will result in great good. Mr. Crudup Knott, a clever ' youth" from Vance, was in the audience and was called out for a speech. He came to the front and although this was unexpected and he was not prepared hediscussed the amendmeut in u way that was forcible, impressive and pleasing to his many friends. Some of the county candidates from Vance were there and we were glad to have them with us. Mr. E. A. Powell, for Sheriff. Mr. I. C. Robbitt, for Treas urer, and ' Uncle Sim" D' an for Coroner, were with us. Each of these gentlemen was introduced, and in short and ap propriate speeches announced himself as a candidate. It affords us great pleasure to know that our friend, Mr. J. E. Burroughs, of Dabney, is on the ticket as the nominee for State Senator from Vance aud War ren. Mr. Burroughs is a man who can be relied upon to do what is right. He enjoys the confidence of the people every where and he will give great strength to the ticket. Mr. Burroughs represented Granville county in the Legislature of 1879 and his many friends in Granville would only be too glad to vote for him now. The news reached us to-ninht that Haden W. Crews was elected County Commissioner of Vance today. This newsbrings joy totheheartof this writer. There is no better man to be found than Haden Crews. It seems that we are get ting on the up grade. The time has come when our best men must come to the front. With all the above named gentlemen on the ticket with Edwards for Register of Deeds and W. B. Daniel for the Legislature, Vance has a strong team and one that must win. The whole ticket must be elected with a large major ity for the amendment. As to what Granville will do it remains yer to b" seen. Our county convention will be held next Thursday, June 7th, but. we will get there and don't you for get it. Oureoiirt house (uid county offices have been t horounhl.y cleaned and whitewashed since the administration of Radicals and iscallawags ami we propose to keep them clean.

The meeting of the Board of Magis trates of Grauvilie today resulted in the election of the following named gentle men for Commissioners: C F. Crews. X. B. Daniel, E. C. Harris, W. S Gooch and W. T.

Eiutok MoKxiNii Post: Many thou sands of people witnessed the awe inspiring sight of a total eclipse of the sun yesterday morning and, of course, none but the older people ever saw such a spectacle before. But probably no one was fortunate enough to see the very remarkable astronomi cal phenomenon witnessed by Capt. J. C. Ellington and the writer be tween 8 and 1) o'clock last night. So far as I know there is no previous record of such an occurrence, though I do not pretend to be well informed upon such matters. Between 8 and 9 o'clock we were looking at Venus through a telescope. When we began the observation the star was very bright, looking like an immense diamond in the cloudless sky. In a short time the star began to grow dim and smaller. We focus ed the telescope and could plainly see the dark shadow steal over the face of Venus just as the moon pass ed between us and the sun yesterday. Soon the star assumed the form of the moon when in quarter and finally disappeared from view altogether for probably one or two minutes, then you could soon see a tiny bright speck appear, with or without the glass, which grew rapidly uutil the star assumed its usual form, size ami brilliancy. The planet, or whatever it was, apparently passed from South to North, and it was an exact repeti tion of the eclipse of the sun, as we viewed it through the telescope. While the disappearance of the star could be noted with the natural eye, the shadow could only be seen through the telescope, and as a star is not star-shaped when viewed through a glass, but shows round outlines like the full moon, but much brighter, the passing of the planet between us and Venus was as complete as anv eclipse of the sun or moon. Could this have been the shadow or a reflection of the sun eclipse upon Venus? Hardly, for a mere shadow would not hide Venus, hence it was nothing short of a complete eclipse brought about in the usual way, i. e., by the passage of a planet betw:een us and a more distant one. I am aware that many people are prejudiced, skeptical. In fact, some fairly intelligent people were doubt ful about the eclipse yesterday did not believe that there" would be one. Of course they will attribute the above to imagination. But scientists will not be surprised, even though they have spent many hours star gazing without ever having witnessed the eclipse of a star.

(From Our Regular Correspondent.) Raleigh, X. C, June 1900. In talking to-day with Chairman Sim mons, who keeps in touch with every locality in the State, 1 was told that the political conditions are satisfactory and the prospects bright '"wherever the Dem ocrats are at work." Mr. Simmons then intimated that our folks are not working as they should in some counties, and steps will at once le taken to improve the conditions in such localities. Still, it is necessary to apical to the patriotic white men for more individual effort in behalf of the cause of White Supremacy. As was stated in this cor respondence last week, jiersonal effort is needed, and it is to le hoped that wher ever there lias been a lack of it in the past will le made up by unusual zeal in the future on the part of every champion and friend of the amendment. To work! MONTMKXT TO NORTH CAROLINA SOLlUKItS. To-morrow (Wednesday) the cere monies attendant upon the unveiling of the lteautiful monument to the memory of Xorth Carolina Confederate dead at Winchester, Va.. will take place. It is to be regretted that Gen. J.S.Carr (who, as Commander-in-Chief of the Xorth Carolina Division, has been in attendance at the Confederate Re-uuion for a week past, and whose veterans led the great parade there) could not arrange his ap pointments so as to deliver the address on this occasion, as at first contemplated. But be has a worthy successor in Capt. C. B. Denson. of Raleigh, Secretary of the Confederate Veterans' Association, who will make a splendid and appropriate speech. THK Sl'.MMKK OIKL IN ALL HKR OLOKY. The Mecca of pleasure seekers just now is Morehead, where the famous Atlantic Hotel celebrated its annual summer own ing last Friday, one of the features being a great ball at night, at which the beauty and gallantry of the State were largely represented. Never was there a more auspicious leginning, and the gayest and most pleasurable season in its history has now begun and never were such elabo rate and jerfeet preparations made for the enjoyment of guests as now. The brush of the painter and the skill of the decorator and house renovator have made the hotel buildings appear like new structures, with many added comforts. Surely our people have no cause to take their presence and patronage out of the State when such provision is made for them here at home to sjend the heated season in the most enjoyable manner, and while hundreds from other States flock to our leadiug resort and travel hundreds of miles or more to avail them selves of its unsurpassed accommoda tions. The Messrs. Scoville. of Atlanta, who are managing the hotel for its own ers this season, are the experts who made the Virginia Greenbrier White Sul phur Springs so popular a few years ago and those who intend to avail themselves of their hospitality at the "Atlantic" this season may go with the expectation find assurances of getting the very best and, what is also important, without being roblied by excessive charges. The rates have been made very liberal, aud it is well worth the price of admission to see and admire and love (even at a distance) the picturesque and altogether fascinating- ''summer girl" who is there in all her glory. THE fi HEAT WOHK AT THE A. AN1 M. COLLEGE The past week has been a week of col lege commencements here Peace Insti tute, St. Mary's and the A. & M. College. There is -no institution or work more important to the young men of North Carolina, especially of the rural districts. and their parents to-day than that now being carried on at the latter institution, and what follows ought to interest vour readers as much or more than anything else 1 could write about this week. The closing exercises of the College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts were very interesting, and this excellent college never had a more successful "commence ment." There were 25 graduates, out of total enrollment of 302 for the scholastic year, representing 7o Xorth Carolina counties and 7 States, every trade and occupation being represented. Dr. George T. Winston, the able oresi dent and experienced educator, has his heart in this work of teaching the boys of North Carolina to "do," as well as to think, and he has recently completed a campaign of the State in the interest of industrial education. He tells me that a great impetus to industrial education is noticeable throughout the State. This is encouraging, for 4jie "learned professions" have long been overcrowded and every year bright young men have found it impossible to find fields in which to earn a living as lawyers, doctors preachers, etc., while we have found it necessary to import skilled mechanics from the North and pay them better salaries than the average "professional" man earns here. In his report President Winston urges the establishment (as an addition to this college) of a Manual Training School for both white boys and girls. He tells me that there are now fully 20.000 young w into men in Aortn Carolina earning not over ou ceuts a day by untrained labor With two or three years' training in a 1 I .FjI- t . . m - - . scnooi oi mis cnaracter they could be fit ted to earn 3 a day and more. He strongly urges the passage of the Vance Textile School bill, which was pending in the Senate (after passing the House) when the last session of the leg islature adjourned. Georgia, South Car olina and Mississippi have recently estab lished textile schools (Mississippi voting $40,000 to it, a State that has not one fifth as many cotton mills as North Car olina), and those States are now trying to wrest from North Carolina the textile manufacturing supremacy and industrial opportunity she now enjoys. No State in the Fnion needs a first-class textile school so much as Xorth Carolina, and it is hoped the present legislature will sup ply, or at least pass the bill carrying the comparatively small appropriation now pending, and do so at the extra session this month. It is high time our legisla tors were waking up, also, to the im portance and necessity of industrial edu cation. The health of the college has lteen excel lent, not a death during the scholastic year, and from a financial view also President Winston's first year of man agement has been highly successful. During the year 136 students paid tlieir own expenses, by money previously earned or by work during the session; ill earned their money as farm laborers aud 22 as clerks $2,706.96 being earned at odd hours. Of the parents of students 101 are farmers, 47 merchants, and 13 physicians. The honor men among the graduate this year are R. L. Branhart. of Rowan; R. M. Wagstaff, of Person; I. O. Sehaub, of Stokes. The honor men of the Junior Class are F. H. Barnhart. of Stanlv; W. D. Faucette, of Halifax; W. S. Sturgill, of Ashe. Sophomore Class, V. Y. Moss, of Granville. THE AVCOCK HAT.

I.ATK NEWS NOTKK. When in Raleiiih a few days ago gub ernatorial nominee Adams (Rep.) took occasion to state that he had no inten tion of withdrawing in Cy. lhompson s (Pop.) favor, lie might have added, with propriety, "not yet." The Supreme Court last week held, in a decision, that tines imposed by the local courts of towns and cities go to the school fund and not to the municipal corporation. Dr. llenrv Louis Smith, wno has ieen elected President of Davidson College. vice Dr. J. i. Shearer, resigned, is regard ed as a most excellent selection. The assignment of the Xorth Carolina Division of Confederate Veterans, under command of Gen. J. S. ('air, to the first place in the great parade at the Re-union in Louisville last wck, was a distin guished but deserved honor. One of the niicnt political rumors is to the effect that Spencer 1$. Adams will probably be named to make the race tor Congress in the Fifth district again if there is enough of him left, after Mr. Ay cock gets through with him. Secretary Rriiner. of the Agricultural Department, who has just returned from Paris, savs that, with the exception of California.
