It is just a common cold, people say, there's no danger in that. Admitting their stut'-n-.tnt. t'.u n ilii-rc .tie uncommon colds, colds whic h are dangerous ; for many a f.ital sickness begins with a cold. If we could tell the common cold from the un common we could feel quite safe. But we can't. The uncommon variety is- rarely recognized until it has fastened its hold on the lunjj. and there are symptoms of con sumption. At the first symptoms the careful person will heed the warning bv taking a mild laxative; some vegetable 'pill that will not disturb the system or cause griping. About the best is"j)r. Tierce's Pleasant Pellets." If the cold starts with a cough, and it persists then some local treatment for this condition should be taken. A well known alterative extract, which has been highly Tecomniended by thousands of users, is Ir 1'ierce's I .oiden Medical Discovery. This tonic compound is composed of an t xtract of roots and herbs and has a sooth ing effect upon the mucous membrane, allays the irritation and at the same time works in the proper and reasonable way, ;,t the seat of the trouble the stagnated or poisoned blood.

GOOD ROADS. Their Money Value to Farmers They Economize Time and Force Between Farm and flarket Reduce the Wear and Tear on Horses, Harness and Vehicles Enhance the flarket Value of Real Estate. Tlmt oo,j,l roads have a nionoy vulin; to farmers will ui panted by all. Tliat the money value of ini pnjved highways is alone sufficient to justify the cost of their construc tion, will le confidently claimed or readily admitted by many farmers, questioned by others, and denied by not a few. Jn view of the fiiiuuciul and many other advantages of good roads, a majority of the farmers of the State would doubtless favor their construc tion as rapidly as practicable under some efficient, economical and equit able system of highway improvement. Iut there is a considerable propor tion of tin farmers doubtless one fifth and possibly one-fourth who have little knowledge or apprecia tion of the benefits of good roads and who, therefore, object, on account of the great cost of highway improve ment. The farmers of this class know that they will have to bear their full share of the burden of such improve ment ; t hey discredit ( not wholly wit h out reason) t he statements and con clusions of many public writers as to the losses and gains to farmers from poor and good roads respectively; hence they view with apprehension the general agitation in favor of im proved highways. Ignoring or uu dcrvaluingtheeducationaland social advantages, as well as the comfort and enjoyment of good roads, or feeling unable to pay the price of such benefits-, these farmers regard with dist rust and disfavor measures for highway improvement; and they ant likely to oppose efforts for the betterment of our roads unless t hey can first be convinced that good roads will prove a paying financial investment. Speaking, therefore, in behalf of those who for any reason are not influenced by the higher con siderations in favor of improved highways, I raise the question, will it pay the farmers in dollars and cents to improve their public roads? I'.el'.ue attempting to answer this quest ion, let us consider in what ways permanently good roads will prove financially beneficial to farmers. All will agree, I think, that a good road will ( 1 ) Kconomize time and force in transportation between farm and market ; (2) lOnable the fanner to take ad vantage of market fluctuations in buying and selling; '.',) Permit transportation of farm productsand purchased commodities during times of comparative leisure; ( I) Keduce the wear and tear on horses, harness and vehicles. () Enhance the market value of real estate. Hut while it is easy to enumerate the ways in which improved roads will be financially advantageous to farmers, it is very difficult to esti mate, in dollars and cents, the bene fits to accrue therefrom. Distrusting my own judgment in the premises and fearing also that my opinions would have little weight with others, I sought the advice of the farmers themselves. Let ters of inquiry were sent to sixty of the most intelligent farmers in forty counties located in tin? central and Northern parts of the State. The substance of these letters is given herewith: (1) About what proportion of the public highways in your county are now good gravel roads. I '2 1 Please est ima& the average in crease (in dollars and cents) in the selling price per acre of land through out the county, as the result of such gravel roads. (.'5) If all the public roads in your county were converted into improved highways, how much, in your judg ment, would it increase the average sellingprieeper acre of land through out your county? ii) AVhat wouhl be .a fair estimate of the cost per mile of converting our common dirt roads as they now exist into good gravel roadsj provided, of course, the work were to be performed economically under some competent, general supervision, and not ham pered by legal restrictions? (.") Supposing that your county were divided into 100-acre farms and that the average distance of each farm from market were 5 miles, what, in your judgment, would be the aver age annual cost (in dollars and cents! to each farmer of our unimproved highways? In answering I he fifth question please take into account the reduced loads, increased time, extra wear and tear, and loss in sales from inability to deliver products when the market is best. Over forty replies to t hese queries were received. As would be expected, from the difference in soil, surface, and distance from gravel beds, there is a wide range in the estimates of the different correspondents. Many of the estimates are necessarily mere guesses, while others are based on a thorough knowledge of the matters under consideration. The averages of these estimates should give and they probably do give approximately the consensus of opinion, held by the most intelligent farmers of the State, as to the cost and money value of improved high ways and the loss due to poor roads. The approximate averages for the forty counties are as follows: First: The average estimated iu crease in the selliug price of land due to existing improved highways is $6.48 per acre. The estimates from which this average is made refer in most cases to lands near the improved roads: but in a few instances they apply to all the lands of the county. The average increase, therefore, of G.48 per acre is lower than was in tended for the lands near tbe im proved roads. Second: The estimated average increase per acre that would result from improving all the public roads is 0. Third: The estimated average cost of converting the common pub lic roads into improved highway is $ 1,140 per mile. Fourth: The estimated average annual loss, per 100 acres, from poor roads is 7(i.'2H. If these estimates are even approxi mately correct, they furnish a key to the satisfactory solution of the ques tion of highway improvement from the money standpoint. On the basis of the last mentioned estimate the average annual loss per acre from poor roads is over 7(i cents. In five years the losses would aggregate f 2, i-i'2 for bv?ry section of land, and this sum would construct two miles at a cost of f 1,210 per mile, which is $70 per mile above the estimated average cost given by the farmers themselves. The present road tax which, under existing laws, is largely thrown away, would, under a proper system of road maintenance, doubt less keep improved highways iu per fect repair. If the foregoing statements are ii near approach to the truth, it follows that the losses and expenditures which farmers actually incur on ac count of poor roads would also secure permanently good roads. Can any sane mind doubt the wisdom of ex changing the losses, delays, accidents, and vexation of spirit, occasioned by bad roads, for the comfort and ot her advantages of good roads when the cost is the same? But there is another side to this question, viz., the increased value of land from highway improvement. As already stated, this increase is esti mated by the farmers consulted at i?!) per acre. This would enhance the value of each section of land .$,", 700, which is more than double the esti mated cost (2,292) of the two miles "of improved highway, which consti tute the quota for the section. Just here the objection may be raised that the improved roads would not in crease the xroductive capacity of the land, while the enhanced commercial value would increase the taxes. Let us, for the sake of argument, grant this plausible but fallacious objection, and then find what it amounts to. Let us suppose the increase in ap praisement for taxation to be, $4 per acre, and the tax rate 1 per cent. This would mean an annual increase in taxes of "" cents per acre, or o per hundred acres. Would not our ob jector, after enjoying the benefit of good roads, be very willing to give therefor the extra $5 if necessary? Would he keep the money and go back to the thraldom of mud roads? If so, he has the option of selling his farm at an advance, according to the average estimates of his brother farmers, that will more than doubly reimburse him for his expenditure on highway improvement; and he can then remove to some native wild whose quiet waters have not been 'troubled'' by the spirit of progress. I am aware that many intelligent farmers will not accept the estimates of their follow farmers as to the money value of good roads many who will even deny that improved highways have an appreciable money value. 1 am glad to know, however, that many of these very same farmers favor good roads, and would aid in their construction for the same rea son that they would build for them selves comfortable and even lux urious homes. In view of the very general recogni tion among farmers of the necessity and benefits of good roads, 1 an en couraged to believe that a very large proportion of the farming classes will heartily join with t Lie people oi the cities and towns in an effort to devise, adopt, and put into execu tion some efficient, economical, and equitable system of highway im provement. In conclusion it is but just to those who have kindly furnished data for this paper to say that their esti mates of losses due to poor roads apply only to live, enterprising farmers who would reap the benefits to accrue from improved highway?. That there are some who would realize little substantia gain from highway improvement must be ad milted, but to base an argument against good roads on this fact would be to do gross injustice to the great majority of industrious.thrifty, enterprising farmers who are doing so much to make Indiana one of the foremost agricultural States of the Union.

Take Wadesboro for instanee. lOvei town in the South ought to hav pictures.priuted of its principal streets and business houses and residences, at periods ottfeiyear, so as to show the progressive are making, a kind of ''then andjnow" picture. Wades boro fairly astonishes one who was there for a few years, say ten years ago. And yet. no one hears anything about Wadesboro, especially. We mean to say that Wadesboro is typi cal of hundreds of other towns in the South that are going forward by leaps and bounds, with new business blocks, new public buildings, new churches and schools, and handsome colonial residences that would lie a credit to any city. We are rising up. we are rising up. It happens that every trip we have taken to Atlanta in recent years or from Atlanta has been at night. This week we took the daylight trip, leaving Atlanta at noon. It was a revelation. In Georgia the poach orchards stretched away on every side, the ootton fields smiled in the sun, and the people have that joyons look, as they linger around the sta tions, that betokens eas- living. And then as we crossed South Caro lina and into North Carolina, how the cotton mills, with their groat buildings and flaunting streams of smoke, greet one at every road-crossing, while cities are springing up where a few years ago there was but a postoftico and a "general store.'" Talking with an old railroad man. old enough to lie a Confederate sol dier, he remarked that it would h well worth while to live in the South the next forty years just to see it grow. One can see it grow. It had forty years of oppression and of re pression. It learned self-cont rol and self-restraint, and that quiet reliance upon self at last that means the mas tery of all things. And now it is bursting forth in the harvest of the long years or patient sowing. One generation soweth and a'nother renp eth, but it is given to at least a p;irt of both goneuations to rejoice to gether in the South. Surely, surety, we ore rising up, we are rising up.
