How to Get the Roads. The man who dug the Suez ca nal and who located the Panama canal and started the work, once said, "the only way ever to get a canal is to buy Shovels and start the digging." Mankind has lit tle faith in talk and much in works. We commend DeLe«seps' sen timent to the good roads conven tion to be held in Asheville. If the convention can persuade the representatives of each county to go home and. help get a road tax of not less than 20 mills levied and in such counties as are pre pared for it get bonds issued foi two hundred to four hundred thousand dollars—thus arranging to buy shovels and dig—the con vention will have done a great work. A well graded macadam road one mile long does more for the cause of good roads than one thousand miles of speeches. Yet the speeches must be made be fore the one mile of road becomes an actuality. The speeches are the blossoms, the road is the fruit. Bryan-Bailey Debate. Mr- Bryan criticised the demo cratic senators and congressmen for the way they voted on tariff. Senator Bailey, of Texas, asked him to discuss the question with him. Mr. Bryan refused to de bate it with him. Both of these men are able de baters, and if they should meet one against the other, there would be something doing about then. But other things being equal, very few believe that Bai ley is a match for Bryan. Mr. Bryan did right in refus ing a joint debate. If Mr. Bailey had refused to meet Mr. Bryan, some could have had some rea son for saying that he was afraid to meet him. But as it is, no one can have any good reason for saying Mr. Bryan was afraid to meet Mr. Bailey, or any other man in debate, for that matter. Special Census Agents to Be Appointed. Between 1,600 and 1,800- per sons will be appointed as special agents of the census bureau about January Ist next, it was announced today, and a practi cal test of the qualifications of applicants for such positions will be given on November 3rd, next, before the local board of civil service examiners in every State in the Union. Applications will be accepted from women, but the opportuni ty for their appointment is slight. Chief special agents will receive $4.50 to $6 per day, while the assistants will receive from $3 to $4 per day. The chief special agents will employed from six to 15 months, and the assistants from three to six months. —Wash- ington Dispatch. Governor Appoints.

"Pellagra " Mr. Editor:—The medical and scientific world seems terribly agitated over the new disease called "Pellagra." There has been quite a number of theories about its origin. Physicians have | not battled successfully with it, and it is alarmingly fatal. When we remember how suddenly ap pendicitis came to us ten years ago, and how rapidly it spread among the people, it kinder gets on one's nerves. Pellagra, O! The dread disease, It makes us all feel ill at ease, It kills the body, wrecks the mind, And doctors still, no cure can find. Some claim it came from foreign land, From Afric's dark, and burning sand, Away across the tropic sea, Long known as negro Leprosy. Some claim it did from Italy spread, Where Dago's feed on bad com bread. Eat no more mush, you'll then be free From deathly corii bread Leprosy., Let science rush the panacea, And stop this wave of Leprosy, Don't wait for Doctors to agree, For we might catch it —you and me. Cook or Peary? Mr. Peary and Dr. Cook, A search for fame undertook; Now their scramble over the gains, Does not "cure all aches and pains.'' Dr. Cook and Mr. Peary, Seems to be still the query; For, by the storys they have told, None can tell which reached the pole. —Nut Shell. Doctor Cook and Captain Peary, Claim to find the cold north pole. Reading about them makes you weary, Jook has lied, and Peary stole. Which made the first observation Where cold blizzards, eternally blows? Twas there the Lord stopped creation, Nobody cares, nobody knows. Often The Kidneys Are Weakened by fiver-Work. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re sponsible for much sickness and suffering, f therefore, if kidney trouble is permitted to continue, serious re sults are most likely to follow. Your other organs may need at tention, but your kid neys most, because they do most and 6hould have attention first. Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or out of order, yon can understand how quickly your en tire body is affected and how every organ seems to fail to do its duty. If you are sick or " feel badly," begin taking the great kidney remedy, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. A trial will con vince you of its great merit. The mild and immediate effect of Swamp-Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon realized. It stands the highest because its remarkable health restoring properties have been proven in thousands of the most distress ing cases. If you need a medicine yon should have the best. « Sold by druggists in fifty-cent and one-dol- fpSaagjlg lar sizes.

Mention this paper when writing to Dr. Kilmer & Co , Bmgliamton, N. Y. Don't make any mis take, but remember the name, Swamp- Root, and don't let a dealer sell you something in place of Swamp-Root— if you do you will be disappointed. "A Pair of Country Kids." ''A Pair of Country Kids," a rural comedy drama, is the play announced at the Academy of Music for next Saturday night and from all reports that have reached Manager Abernethy the country kids are a lively pair and seem to be making a large num ber of friends everywhere. The play is highly spoken of as a clean up-to-date rural comedy drama, true to nature and with all those lovable folks "down on the farm" that we all remember after we have moved to the city, or that we meet every day where we have been content to remain close to nature with the home spun folks. This company is made up of real actors who can act, sing and dance and will give you an evening of genuine amuse ment and you will surely laugh at the Kids for they are busy constantly getting in and out of mischief.

A pole Jor scantling was stuck up in the hole and two broad planks were placed from it each way, as a warding to travelers. This was near the side walk, leaving plen ty of drive way in the middle and on the other side of the street. The moon was shining brightly, hence no red light was thought necessary. But about 8 o'clock, Mr. Miller, the organ man, with two other men in the buggy, not looking, and perhaps driving a little fast, drove on to this scantling which broke the vehicle, and they all fell into the hole together, doing more or less damage. It was a narrow risk. This should be a warning to the city about leaving such places open, and also to travelers to be more careful how and where they drive. % All Sorts. The dead body of W. G. Mc- Neil, a merchant and farmer of Reddies River, Wilkes county, was found on the street in North Wilkesboro at 3 o'clock last Thursday morning. Foul play is suspected. Salisbury Post: Mr. 0. W. Aderhcldt, of Catawba county, and Miss Ethel Powlass, of Bar ber, this county, were united in marriage Wednesday at Lebanon Lutheran church, Rev. C. B. Miller officiating. Liquor dealers and distillers are flocking to Washington and establishing their business in the District of Columbia. * It is re ported that N. Glen Williams, of the county of Yadkin, will estab lish a big steam distillery in the District. If Washington" and the District become the refuge of the liquor dealers dpiven from other points by the prohibition wave, it is by no means certain tKat the wave will not engulf the aational capitol. Miss Mary Grimsley. 16 years old. whose homo was near Cul pepper, Va., committed suicide Monday by saturating her cloth es with kerosineand deliberately setting: herself afire. She was burned to death before anyone • knew it. The girl was bright and industrious and had shown no sign of insanity. The Treasury Department re- ' ports show that the total amount of national bank notes now out standing is $701,077,724. This is an increase of $2,232,250 over ' the total on the first day of Sep tember, and an increase of $l4, 751,616 over the total national ] bank notes outstanding on Sep- 1 tember Ist a year ago. 1 " ] * t t Sickening headaches, indigestion, ' constipation, indicate unhealthy con- j dition of the bowels.

During court at Graham, re cently, a young man picked up some one else's umbrella and went off with it. He was tried and sent to the roads four months for it. The Landmark says: "The Chatham man made a mistake. If he bai killed somebody he would have gone free, but taking an umbrella is an offense that can't te allowed to pass. On last Saturday, 20,000 school children of Portland, Ore , greet ed President Taft's visit there. The children were dressed in red, white and blue, and arranged so as to form the nation's flag. A« he entered the grounds, the chil dren greeted him with loud ap plause, which kept up until he was seated on the speaker's plat form. He then saw them go through with a drill, waving ban ners, and then spell his name by banners and cheers. Mr. Taft said he did not expect to speak, but he could not but be inspired by the children to speak. He said in closing his speech: "You call your city the city of roses, because of the beautiful flowers. But I look now upon 20,000 hu man roses, upon which I con gratulate your city and your par ents much more. I hope you will cherish this occasion as one which will bring back with its memory the loyal thought of love of coun try. God bless you all." At the present high price of raw cocton and the low price of yarns, cloth, etc., it is feared the Southern cotton mills will have to close —suspend operation for an indefinite time. This will be a slam on the mill operatives. They only get enough wages to live anJ dress well, and they freely spend it, which helps bus iness, but not them. Very few of them have been able to lay by in store any great amount for a rainy day, much less many rainy days. We hope for the better, however. The changes and cost of the public school books is an outrage upon the people—the parents. Charles McCulloch, who lives in Davie, says he has a goose quill pen which Peter S. Ney used while teaching school in that county over a half century ago. Some are bothering their minds over the question, "Whom did Cain marry?" It matters not whom she was, white or black; she didn't do much simply caught Cain, that's all. Some people think that men start and run papers for fun. They get mad if he does not keep on boosting the man business. "A Pair of Country Kids." Among the many high class attractions Manager Abernethy has booked •at thfe Academy of Music for the coming season none gives better promise of being a distinct novelty than "A Pair of Country Kids" that will appear for one night only, Saturday Oct. 9th. This new rural comedy drama has been built on entirely new lines and as true to Mature as stagecraft will permit and as this is the day of the scenic ar tist and the stage artisan, we can expect to spend one jolly night in the country and laugh and romp with the kids and their merry company among whom are numbered the best of the later day artists, each selected for* a particular part and which enables the management to»a perfect pro duction.

We call it by the old name so all may know what we mean. Much is being said about spread of tnis fatal disease. Mill ions of dollars are being spent to cure and prevent the disease, All physicians say that it is con tagious. Some towns and even States have quaranteei against it the same as that Of small pox, meas les, etc. This is worse, because very few cases are ever cured. It harts a town for consumptives to congregate there for treat ment, or because the climate is invigorating. We have had many to come to Hickory. Some of them have been helped. This will cause more to come. We look for sev eral more thi3 winter than have ever come. If thev will come, there ought to be a sanitorium where they can be taken and treated and also enjov our pure atmosphere, without running the risk of spreading the disease among our own people. We sympathize with these peo ple, bat feel that we.should not forget the good of others. We should not invite them anymore than we would small pox. Now we have said this in all kindness. The firet thing we know, instead of have a healthy, business city, we will simply have a health re sort for consumptives. While !we would help the afflicted, yet let us protect the healthy. "An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure." Bad On Lawyers. The North Wilkesboro Hustler tells a sad story for the lawyers up that way. It says: _ Since the elimination of the whiskey business in Wilkes coun ty the number of lawyers located in the two towns has decreased from about fourteen to eight in number. This, of course, does not mean that our good friends of the bar and "the spirits" have ! any particular direct fascination for each other, but that crime and the legal profession decrease together. In Wilkesboro, be fore the railroad was built to it, there were something like thir teen attorneys located in that town, each with a good practice. But while the population and bu siness of the countv and town have greatly increased the ille gal deeds have more than equal ly decreased. The Watts law and prohibition have ruined the lawyers in Wilkes county. Notice of Land Sale.
