THE MONROE JOURNAL G. M. BEASLEY, I - . V. BEASLEY. I --- TUESDAY, November M. 90J. It is nai.l tlut the Preident will urj in hi;) annual message to lm pvs. tlwt smiie step be taken by tlx national government to improve the public highwaysof the country. This would lie a hiijs1 iindcrUkin. but if some of the many channel of useless eenditiiresiof the government were dammed up, there would be plenty of money to spend for useful purposes like this. The useless expenditure of money in the government printing olliee alone would, if turned to the gid roads movement, earry it a long wsv each year. M illi ns of dollars are spent wh year in printing wholly wort hies stufT. There will, however. lie some objection to the idea of the general government undertaking to improve the country road, w hich, of course, belong to the several State. Hut from ancient times the construc tion of gxd roads has been consid ered a proper subject for national effort, and we no present day rea son why the I'nited Stales should not undertake it. It is stated that Mr. S. F. Hurtt of New Item lias gone to Massachusetts to secure a iniinber of Portugese lalmrcrs to work on farms in the vi cinity of Xcw lx ni. This may be the first tap in the negro's death knell as the exclushe farm laborer of the South. He has almost a natural inononly of this work, and did he care to make himself steadv. etlicient Southern Congressmen are urging President Roosevelt to demand in his message to Congress that something be doue by the government to exter minate the bol1 weeTtl w hirh is doing every year so much damage to the cotton crop in Texas, and, like a threat eniug cloud, hangs menacingly over all the cotton States. The national Secretary of Agriculture has given out a very hoicles view of the dan gers from the boll weevil, seeming U think that there is no remedy to be used against them. But there must beoue somew here, and somebody will find it Meantime, the Texas folks who are sending sample of the wee vil to their friends in other States ought to be put in jail for a lime. The decision of the Ohio Supreme Court placing its approval upon the right f Christian Scientist to refuse to call a physician to treat a minor child, is in the interest of liberty of parents, but rather detrimental to the children. Charlotte Chronicle. You plug the spike square on the head, dear friend. Yet mie folks seriously argue that the Stale has uo right to protect the children by forc ing the parents to send them to school or forbidding them to hire their chil dren of tender age to cotton mills. Anybody can see that the Chester field folk are proud of their new hank and are going to stand by it They took time by the forelock and arrested the fellows who were stroll ing about looking for a bank to rob. To be sure, the men hadn't robbed or tried to rob a bank, but they might have wanted to. Marskvlll News. FEARFU. H0L0CAL5TS.

Thompson was the sharpest of j J"st s""n M they arrive an me conspiiators excciit mitlcr liimself, but since his overthrow h lias dmpled completely out of sight. We have often found ourselves won deling what had Ixvome of him. On account of an uuforseeii turn in busi ness, tmder an out of date law, a great ileal of money went into his hands as fees while he was Secretary of State, and like the others of the leaders, he made his excursion into the domain of power pay. It is very unusual, when bank otli cials succeed in carelessly or crimi nally wnrking a bank, that they go out and slim it themselves as did the president arid cashier of theCarmh bank last week. The directors of the bank have made an assignment of all ils business, and say that there is no doubt of its complete solvency, only nobody could lie found that would biko the presidency after the tragic self-deatructi'.in of the former otlicers, It seems that the dead otlicers were connected with a cotton mill and the whole bunch were interested in cot ton futures together. From an article elsewhere in this pajier, it w ill be seen that the fanners who send fine stalks of-grain or other products to their county paper are not without warrant of distinguished precedent. Diny, one (if the great Roman writers, says that four hun dred stalks of wheat grown from a single seed were sent to the Emperor Augustus, and some enterprising far me'r sent three hundred and forty stalks from one grain to the Emperor Nero. What the bloody old rascal did with it we are not told. There are oulored men working in Monroe at three dollars and fifty cents a day. They are not practicing med icine or law, or preaching. They are laying brick. And in the South to day the demand for good bricklayers can't be supplied. Of course, it takes first class mason to make three dol lars and a half day. But there are thousands of less skilled mechanics in demand at good wages. Unskilled labor is becoming to be no labor at all in point of wages. . "The evil that men do live after them, the gixil is oft interred with their bones, says Shakespere. But sometimes folks hear of the good tilings we do and we don t know how they hear of it; it's just a way a good deed has of becoming known. South ern Education, published at Knox- ville, lenn., savs : "Mr. C. X. Simpson of Monroe, X.

O O The action of the teachers at Rock Rest in asking the patrons of the school to contribute a small amount hi buy magazines for the school Ought to be followed by a good many teachers of the county. For 50 cents a month three or four of the best magazines could be placed in the hands of the school children each month while the schools run. Any teacher could raise two dollars for this purrnise. The magazines should circulate in school and in the homes also. If you can't raise f 2.00, one dollar will buv some. (Sood maga zines can be bought at the book store for ten cents.
