(Joon roads are the best possible
investment in any eommunity. There
is not an interest that is not bene
fitted by such improvements. It
makes all sorts of farm products
more valuable by making markets
more accessible. Laud located on
good roads obviously becomes more
valuable as residence property, for it
may 1 more easily ami pleasantly
reached.
Considering the importance of good
roads, it is of vital moment that ob
ject lessons in their building should
be well taught. For this reason none
but the most skillful engineers and
the most conscientious contractors
should lecmployed in building model
roads. I ft he improvement proves
good and permanent, it will soon
convince the tax-payers that more
such road is desirable, and develop
ment in that line will follow. Should
the model road prove defective, it
would be a serious setback to the
cause.
What are Building and Loan Asso
ciations. The following, taken from an ex
change, is reproduced with the idea
of putting our people to thinking
more along the line of ISuilding and
Loan Associations:
Joint stock benefit associations for
the purpose of raising a fund to as
sist memlrt'rs in obtaining homes.
Money is loaned to the members and
is paid back in weekly or monthly
instalments. The interest, on money
borrowed at the rate of (5 per cent,
per annum is payable weekly or
monthly. Kvery six months these
Building and Loan Associations re
ceive into it new members. The se
curity offered to investors induces
many people to enter the Ituilding
and Loan with a view of having a
convenient means of depositing their
savings. In the 1'nited States alone
t he assets in t hese building associa
tions is $10,00(1,000,000. This
large accumulation is the result of
only a few years. Think of t he homes
now owned by people that have been
built through the Building and Loan
Asssociations. If you want to build
it's a good thing. If you do not, it
teaches you and trains you to save.
Talking about what Jluilding and
Loan Associations will do for a town,
Charlotte now has buildings under
way that will call for an outlay of a
million dollars.

Some people have an idea that loco

fact, there are few things that an en
gineer dreads more on the track in
front of him than a cow, and with
good reason. The reason is to be
found in the dispatch in yesterday's
paper which told of a double-header
on the Illinois Central, running
through Iowa, striking a cow, which
was, of course, killed herself, but
which caused a wreck which cost the
two engineers, two firemen and a
brakeman their lives. Not much fun
in that. Charlotte Observer.

Greeting to
Roosevelt.
President
The following editorial article pub-
ished in the Richmond Times-uis-
ntch of the 18th, is so fine in spirit,
and the subject matter so pertinent
that we copy it although a little out
of season for the purpose which it
served that of a greeting to the
'resident of the I nited States upon
lis visit to that city:
Kometbinir more than forty yean, ago
the President of the United States enter
ed the city of Richmond and took
noHsewBion of her conquered territory,
and when he came he found sorrow and
desolation. On Sunday night, April
lH(;r, Richmond was evacuated by the
'onfederate crovernment; the troops were
withdrawn from the front and the offi-
ials of government took train for the
South. Ah they departed from Manches
ter they looked back and beheld the en-
ire lower portion of the city wrapped
ii flames. Practically all buildings em
braced in that part of the city hounded
bv Twenty-second Street on the hast,
James River on the South. Fifth Street
on the West and midway between Grace
nd Franklin Streets on the .North
were destroyed and that portion which
survived bore the marks of poverty and
leprivation which the long and disas
trous war had entailed. It was a gloomy
sight which the President of the United
States beheld on that occasion and the
heart of Abraham Lincoln mus,t have
been touched to the quick.
Rut while their city had been in great
art destroyed, the spirit of the men and
women of Richmond had not been brokea
and ere the bricks in the smouldering
ruins had cooled the citizens pulled off
their coats and went to work with will
and energy unsurpassed to clear up and
rebuild. Jntime nil the buildings were
restored and Richmond entered upon a
new career.
Today the President of the United
States will enter Richmond as our in
vited guest and will see no evidences of
distress and desolation, hut every evi
dence of happiness and prosperity. He
will see a city of 100,000 inhabitants
with buildings and lots assessed at $"0,-
000,000, an increase of more than
4,000,000 in a single year, a city of
factories, warehouses, mercantile estab
lishments, bonding and insurance build
ings, hotels, churches, schools, parks and
monuments, nnd as a further sign of
rogres8 and prosperity, he may know
thatjthe deposits in the banks have in
fifteen years grown from less than
f'.,000,(V0 to more than $2K,000,000,
being equal in the aggregate to the en
tire deposits of one of the most pros
perous of the States South of us. As he
enters and drives through our streets, he
will receive a cordial welcome from the
people of the city which was once the
proud capital of the Southern ('onfeder-
1 i 1
acy. ana wnnnersoever uis eyes may
turn, to this side or that, he will see
countless numbers of Federal flags dis
played in his honor, as well as in token
of Richmond's loyalty to the national
government.
. .. .
It has been said that they to whom
it has been given to do the really high
est work in this earth have trodden with
deeding feet and aching brow the hard,
rough and thorny life of which the Cross
is the symbol."' And again that "the
man or woman who has learned to suf
fer well has gotten the highest of moral
victories.'" It was in war that the men
and women of Richmond learned to suf
fer, and while the cause in which, and
for which they suffered failed, they have
gained in peace a victory more glorious.
Nay. it was this training and discipline
in tlie school of suffering and daring
which gave them the grit and the grace
to rebuild their Jerusalem and make it
stronger and greater than ever, an object
lesson in enterprise, courage and pat
riotism, and may we not say that it is
this grace, born of devout suffering,
which enables our people today to for
get those things which are behind and
extend in sincerity and hearty good will
the hand of welcome to the nation s
chief magistrate.
Rut our greeting to President Roose
velt is no empty formalism. It is the
greeting of a patriotic people w ho know
the flag of the Union and the man whose
high function it is to hold it high and
preserve its honor at home and abroad.
.Moreover we cordially greet the man.for
we admire Mr. Roosevelt. We admire
him for his courage and manliness, for
his frankness, for his good morals and
lor his righteousness. W e believe that he
has become broader in view and more
catholic in spirit since his last election
e beh?ve that his great triumph at the
polls so far from turning his head has
softened his heart and made him more
and more in love with all the people
e believe that he haw risen above par
tisan prejudice and the bigoty of poll
tics and that he is endeavoring to re
deem his promise to be President of the
nation without respect to person, party
or section.
We admire him because he walks in
the fear of (!od, and makes thesuggested
morality of the Bible his rule of conduct.
e admire him because he insists that
all shall obey the laws, no less the high
nnanciers ot wall street than the hum
ble citizen of low degree. Mr. Roosevelt
is but human and it is human to err, but
iu spite of any errors which he may have
made ne has convinced the nation that
he is sincere in what li3 says and does,
that Ins impulses are generous and
chivalrous, that lie has an honorable
sense of duty and that his courage never
mils.
Richmond is proud to receive and en
tertain him as her guest and hopes that
the acquaintance w hich is formed today
will ripen into mutual and lasting friend
ship, l or one day at least, we shall
forget that there is such a thing as poli
tics, partisanry or sectionalism and burn
sweet incense to hospitality and pat
riotism.

Spring Hope-Roxboro Road.
Link Between A. C. L and N. &
W. Railroads.
Company Chartered Propoed to Ex
tend from Spring Hope to tne Nor
folk and Western Is This Part of
Plan for Coaling Station Near Beau
fort? The Raleigh Post of Tuesday says
this in connection with the incorpor
ation of the North Carolina Connect
ing Railway Company, particulars
of which are published elsewhere in
the (iOLD L,EAF this weeK:
An important railroad company was
incorporated yesterday and from the
route defined it promises to be part of
the great plan under way for the devel
opment of Eastern Carolina and will fur
nish the Atlantic Coast Line with direct
connection through this State with the
big coal fields of W est lrginia.
In connection with the incorporation
of this company there lies an interesting
story. About twentyyears ago theCoast
Line'built a branch from UokcyMt.,onita
main line, to Spring Hope, in Nash coun
ty, and the general expectation was that
it would beextended on to Raleigh. How
ever, it Btopped in the woods, hardly 20
miles from the North Carolina capital,
and there made Spring Hope its termi
nal. A scheme for bonds to be issued in
this county for the completion of the line
here fell through and the popular suppo
sition ever 6ince has been that the old
Raleich and Gaston Railroad, the parent
of the present Seaboard Air Line, reach
ed an agreement with the Coast Line
whereby the latter was not to enter uai
eigh in consideration of the use of the
former's bridge over Roanoke river at
Weldon. This state of affairs has con
tinued until the present time, the Coast
Line still having Spring Hope as its
terminal. Rut the completion of the
Raleigh and Pamlico Sound Railroad
from here to Washington will pass
through Wilson and there tap the Coast
Line. It traverses too a portion of the
same territory as would the extension of
the Coast Line from Spring Hope here.
Rut it now appears that the Coast
Line may have different and far more im
portant plans for its little line to Spring
Hope. The North Carolina Connecting
Railway Company was incorporated
yesterday for the purpose of building a
line from Spring Hope to Roxboro, a
point on the Norfolk and W estern, a line
that runs to the Virginia coal fields. In
building this connection the company
has the right to traverse the counties of
.sash, rraukhn, Halifax, Warren, Vance.
Cranville and Person.
This company is to begin with 890,000
capital, to be increased to $450,000,
which by a majority vote of the stock
holders may be increased to a larger sum.

It is well known that one great syndi
cate, backed by millions, is in possession
of the A. and I. C. Railroad, from More-
head to Goldsboro, and of the Norfolk
and Southern which is being extended so
as to make, with the little Pamlico, Ori
ental and Western, a line between Nor
folk and New Bern. Does the building'of
a connecting link between the Atlantic
Coast Line from Spring Hope to Roxboro
on the -Norfolk and Western mean a
great coaling route via the Norfolk and
Western, the Atlantic Coast Line and
the Atlantic and North Carolina to buid
up a great coaling station at Beaufort
or some point near there on the North
Carolina coast?

STIRRED HIS HEARERS.
President Roosevelt's Impromptu
Address at a Luncheon (Uvea Him
la Richmond.
An informal luncheon was given
President Roosevelt in Richmond last
week after his reception and address
in Capitol Square, at which he spoke
as follows, as copied from the Times
Dispatch: The address of the President at the
luncheon given in a beautifully deco
rated hall in the Masonic Temple yes
terday afternoon deeply stirred the
hearts of all who heard it. Mr.
Roosevelt said:
Mr. Mayor, Governor and You, My
Hosts:
One among the very many great
Virginians at the time when this
nation was born, said: (and I quote,
gentlemen, Patrick Henry), Patrick
Henry said: "We are no longer New
Yorkers or New Englanders, Penn-
sjdvanians or Virginians, we are
Americans. And surely, Mr. Mayor,
the man would be but a poor Ameri
can who was not touched and stirred
to the depths by the reception that 1
lave met with today in tins great
historic city of America. Coming to
day by the statue of Stonewall Jack
soil, in the city of Lee, I felt what a
privilege it is that I, as an American,
mve in claiming that you yourselves
lave no more right of kinship in Lee
ond Jackson than I have. I can
claim to be a middling good Ameri
can because my ancestry was half
Southern and half Northern; I was
born in the East and lived a good
while in the West; so long in fact that
do not admit that any man can be
a better Westerner than I am. There
was an uncle of .nine, now dead, my
mother's brother, who has always
been anions: all the men I have ever
met the man who it seemed to me
came nearest to typifying in the flesh
that most beautiful of all characters
in fiction, Thackery's Colonel New-
comb, my uncle James Uunwoody
Bulloch, an admiral in the Confeder
ate navy. Jn short, gentlemen, 1
claim to be neither Northerner nor
Southerner, neither Easterner nor
Westerner, nothing but a good
American, pure and simple.
Next only to a man s having worn
the blue comes t he fact of the man's
laving worn the gray, as entitling
dm to honor in my sight. Last year
told General k ltzhugh Lee that 1
wanted to add to my collection of
autograph letters of great Americans
Lincoln, Grant, Clay, Jefferson,
(turning to tne uovernor, your
namesake, Andrew Jackson) that of
General Lee, with Jus photograph. J
crot from General Fitzhugh Lee a let
ter of General Lee's and a photograph
of him, handed to me alter General
r itzhugh Lee s death. I was not
able to thank my old and valued
riend, the father, but 1 put the son
on my staff; and now I have the
grandson of General Grant and the
grandnephew of General Lee and the
son of Phil Sheridan on my staff. I
think it is a middling good staff,
too.
In my regiment, organized at the
beginning of the Spanish-American
war, 1 think that there were more
men whose fathers wore the gray
than there were whose fathers wore
the blue. The only rivalry that ever
entered their heads was the rivalry as
to which man could show himself best
entitled to the praise of having done
all that in him lay for our country
and our flap:.
I noticed that the statue of Stone
wall Jackson was raised as a gift by
certain Englishmen. The best bi
ography of General Jackson was by
an Englishman, Colonel Henderson.
It is a curious and rather lamentable
fact that he died just as he was about
to undertake another biography
which I had earnestly asked him to
undertake. I had written him urg
ing that he should finish his very re
markable military study of Stone
wall Jackson, by writing a military
biography of General Lee, and he
had written me back that he in
tended to do so. Shortly afterwards
1 learned of his death.
Gentlemen, I cannot sufficiently ex
press to you my deep appreciation of
the way in which you have greeted
me here today. You cannot be
nearly as glad to see me as I am to
see you. Let me sav once more what
I said in my formal address. Think
of the good fortune that is ours,
think of the good fortune that is
ours as a people in having, each of
us, whether we in our own persons or
through our ancestors, wore the blue
or the gray, the proud right to chal
lenge as our own all of the valor, all
of the self-devotion, all of the stead
fast adherence to right as God gave
to each man to see the right, shown
alike by the men who wore the blue
and by the men who wore the gray in
tne great contest that was waged
from 'Gl to 'G5.

TERRACING LAND.
BtlUUcs Mar Be Made Profttakl ul
Washed Landi Reclaimed.
There is a large amount of hillside
land in east Texas that by terracing
can be made the finest of orchard land,
advises Farm and Ranch. The terrac
ing requires a good deal of work and
the laying off of the boundaries 6ome
little skill. Hut there is little if any
cash outlay required.
Terracing consists of first establish
ing a beginning place at the highest
point, then establish a line marked by
states that shall everywhere be two
feet or three feet, as desired, below the
highest point Then by placing the
leveling instrument ou the lower line
another line two feet or three feet low
er still may be marked, and so on to
the foot of the hill. To properly level
terraces that do not entirely circle the
hill use a reversible or hillside turning
plow. Degin at the lower side of each
terrace and plow to the upper side, al
ways throwing the furrow down the
hill. If there is time before setting of
trees, this process can be continued un
til each terrace is reduced to a level, or
if planted to annual crops this leveling
may be continued through several
years.
The level terrace is probably best,
but not really necessary, for orchards,
us washing can be prevented by so
placing the trees that no furrow will
have sufficient fall to do serious injury.
In this way many washed hillsides
may be reclaimed and by proper rota
tion of crops made more fertile than
they ever were or if planted to proper
ly selected trees or vines may be made
the most profitable of all the land on
the farm.
A Strove, Lteht Gate For the Barn.
In managing stock to the best advan
tage in stables where a few unruly an
imals must be managed a few easily
constructed conveniences can be placed
here and there that will greatly lessen
the labor of tying up the stock, says an
Ohio Farmer correspondent. In our
barn we have constructed a few gates,
as shown in the accompanying illus
tration. The crosspieces in the gate are
made of pine, being three inches In
width and one inch in thickness. Two
pieces are required both at the top and
bottom of the gate. It is very essential
that the crosspieces be of good timber
and quite free from knots, for the
strength of the gate greatly depends
upon this part of the construction. The
vertical pieces are made of oak, being
two inches in width and one inch in
thickness. In this gate the vertical
pieces are four inches apart. In hang
ing the gate we have found nothing

equal to a strap hinge with a wood

bolted through the gate with quar
ter inch bolts. The latch is made of the
same material as the vertical pieces,
being cut down to half its size in order
that the side motion for moving the
latch below may be secured. It is bolt
ed between the two three inch pieces
and also to the piece below. When the
top of the lever is pushed forward, the
gate is unlatched, and with reverse ac
tion the gate, when in proper place, is
securely held by the short right angu

sary to hold the gate in proper shape.
In our barn we have eight of these
light, simply constructed gates that
serve an indispensable purpose. At
night all gates are closed, and if any
animal gets untied no harm can be
done.
Most invigorating Bath in Great Salt
Lake.
The late Charles Dudley Warner author,
editor and traveler while bathing in Great
Salt Lake, remarked to a friend that iu all
his travels he never before saw such a splen
did combination of salt sea bathing, blue
sunlit skies, pure mountain air and pretty
women and children. The climate of Salt
Lake City, while temperate the year round,
is particularly delightful in summer, with it
sunny days and cool nights. One, three and
Beven-day tours to the mountains can be
made from Salt Lake City. Tourist rates are
now in effect via the Denver & Rio Grande
("The Scenic Line of the World.") For beau

The Absolutely Pure
Baking Powder
Made of Cream of Tartar, and
Free From Alum or Phosphatic Acid
Royal Baking Powder renders bread, biscuit, cake
and all flour foods finer and more healthful.
Baking powders made from alum, phosphates and other
harsh, caustic acids are lower in price, but they are injurious to
the stomach.
"The injurious effect of alum on the mucous coat of the
stomach is positive and beyond dispute ; it is both an irritant
and an astringent The use of alum in any article of food or
article used in the preparation of food should be prohibited.

Here in North" Carolina we have
loner talked with assurance, yet in a
vague sort of way, about the hidden
wealth of the btate. 1 Ins is suggest
ed by the following from the Newark
(N. J.) Advertiser:
Incandescent gas mantles have been
so much improved that the light they af
ford is preferred by many consumers of
electric lights. The best of these mantles
are made of thorium, which until recent
ly was obtained only in monazite sand
in Brazil, owned by two monopolies.
North Carolina contains nearly every
variety of mineral and it was in its
mountains that Prof. William E. Hidden
of this city discovered the new and ex
ceedingly rare mineral known as Hidden
ite. In North Carolina monazite sand
was recently discovered and the deposit
was bought by a British company. At-

tention to the fact is called by two of
our consuls in Great Hritian with an
admonition to American gas manufac
turers not to permit a monopoly of the
material in the United States to pass
iuto the hands of the Britisher. Hut then
what are they going to do about it?"
There are doubtless many depositf
of manazite saml in the mountain
of North Carolina as well as Hidden
ito and other rare minerals, rare be
cause the deposits are yet undiscov
ered, and it may be well that the
process of discovery is slow, as values
may be fixed before monopolistic con
trol is established. Certain we are,
that great as is North Carolina's re
sources, her rightful position of im
