It is n scene for the poet anil the painter! A Long Walk. Landing at the little town of Iniii.u on the west coast, and pans log there just long enough to have a lunch prepared, we set out for a lofg walk across the mountains to the west coast of the main island. This was a pretty large undertak ing, as it is --' miles, and over the mountains at that. Aim to make bad matters worse, we had hardly got started when it set in for a slow, Irizzly rain. HI ill licing inspired by the very laudable ambition of making a record of which to Imasl to our friends at home, we stuck to it and made the trip iu about tij hours, which was not so bad for a couple of tender city chaps. This trip gave us some glimpses of real cou ut rj life. All Japan is mountainous, mill mere is no coun try life here as we know it in cen tral aud eastern Carolina. The people can only till the valleys, and conseiiuently they live in vil lages wherever there is a fertile valley. The chief things we saw grow ing were rice and vegetables, and mulberry treca for the silk worm to thrive upon. Hut a lover of couutry life feels a sense of irre parable loss. The fertilizer tliey use is fierce. It is kept in a liquid stale in pools or shallow wells, which are cemented aud made wat er tight. This liquid manure is diluted out with long handled wood en dippers and poured over their fields at various stages of the crop h growth. And I can tell you, II doetui t smell like slrawlierrics and roses, either. I never knew what the word cesspool really meant till I saw them here iu their lields. But it does the work, and by means of it the farmers raise two and sometimes three crops a year. On the Japan Sea. When we arrived at the coast we stopH-d at the town of Obauia, about aix hours east of Miyasn, our destination. We managed to get our room at the hotel, and soon we weut across the street for hot bath. We were accompanied by four women bearing lantern. Jap anese bath house usually have a large pool of water with a tight partition to separate the sexes. This pool is filled in the morning and kept hot all day, all the people bathing in tho same water. Hut this bouse had also a private bath room and we went to it. While I performed my ablutions Mr. True- man stood in the door to keep the women from watching me, then I reciprocated when his turn eauie.

LOCKE CRAIO, CANUIUATE FOR (jOVTRNOR. rested a day. It is good to feel that you do not have to make schedule time when you are out for recrea tion, ami we had a good time, lint Japanese food became a little mo iiolonus. They made only three ehangfs in the bill of fare during the day. It was rice, lish and tea for break faM; thh, rice and tea for dinner; and tea, fUli and rice for upper. This is not exactly literal truth, but it gives you the idea. How we did long for a piece of bread and butter la-fore we got back! The following morning we made our Isiat and set sail on the famous Japan Sea. The water looked a little murky, not having recovered from the eft'is ts of the recent war, I suppose. We hugged the coast closely and all along the way we could see the lishing villages ami the swarms of little fishing craft plying their trade. Ama-No-llashldate. At alKiut I o'clock we arrived at Miyaztl, the port town of the well known Ireak of nature called the Heaven Hanging Bridget Ama no llashidatc). We got our luncheon and set out for the wonderful sight. It is a remarkable formation, for one end of the bay is cut off and made into a lake by a narrow neck of land or isthmus. Ouly a narrow outlet of some two hundred yards remains. We crossed this by boat and set foot on the sandy spit of land, which is two miles long, Urn feet wide, and covered all tho way with pine trees. We walked across its entire length over the splendid sandy road, and ou tho opposite side we climbed a steep hill to reach the Is-st point for viewing it. On this hill, if one stand on bis head and look at it, he will enjoy the pleasing illusion of seeing a bridge suspended from heaven by pine trees, hence its name. There are tea houses and resting places all along the way on this "bridge," and it is a most pleasant place for an outing. There are many old legends accounting for the origin ol this "natural bridge," but they are too long to give here. The next day we returned home by the direct route, after having had a splendid rest and change. It was good practice in speaking Jap anese also.

The leaves scattered and the ground torn up and marked as by a struggle, a watch fob found on the same spot, identified as Isdong iug to John lioyd, head porter at the Selwyii, and a whiskey bottle in evidence, the night Mrs. J. M. Morgan was carried out into the country by the porter and Jim Wilsou, a colored hack driver, were found near the scene of the tussle aud identified iu the Record er's court this morning. These are some of the things brought put in tbeexidence against Boyd, charged with highway roll liery. Mrs. Morgan's attorney sta ted that a charge of rape would lie preferred and asked that the court room be cleared of all except those interested in the hearing. Mrs. Morgan admitted that she was not giving her true name and that she was living on alimony furnsbed her by her husband. She said she was leaving Atlanta by her attorney's advice in order to get away from her husband, whom she feared. She declared that she had started to the Southern depot to meet a rel- j alive when Boyd and Jim Wilsou,' colored back driver, carried her to the country, where she spent the night, having no recollection of what took place after taking a drink of whiskey, which the ne groes uiged upon her. The rape charge was dropped by the Record er but may lie renewed at the June term of criminal court. Boyd was held under a thousand dollar bond and Wilson under a five hundred dollar IkjihI.

Qood Road Material Everywhere Why Do Vou Not Take the Lead In Road Building? I'r.-tfr'wlvr Karmef. Wherever practicable, in the im provement of roads, atteution should be paid to improving the line of roadbed. In a billy coun try a road in a directly straight i line is never best, ami if some at teution is paid to the proper en gineering of the roads there would be far better roads. Then there is not a section in North Carolina where good road-making material cannot be bad. In the Coastal l'lain the oyster shells are in many place? cheap and convenient, and nothing makes better roads than shells. Then in other parts of the hast the shell rock is bandy and makes the finest of road material. In the Piedmont country the gran ite rocks are abundant and con venient. I once drove from Ral eigh to Durham, tumbling down in the Crabtree alley over one or the gullied excuses for a road, and then into a trench of red mud where the road repairers had been at work throwing mud and sod into mid dle of the road till the mud was so deep that our team pulled the double tree in two, aud we would have been in a bad plight but that we found some bale wire in the car riage with w hich we lashed a pole ou from the woods. And right alongside this trench, called a road, the fields were fairly macadamized over with little broken rocks, and in some places the rocks had lieen gathered from the fields and placed on ridges alonside the road. And yet the rood-workers had repaired the road with mud when they could have covered it with these rocks with the same shovels. There is no part of the commun ity more interested in good roads than the farmers who have to hanl over them. I am glad to see the spirit of improvement in this re siect in the South, and note that some cities are making beautiful roads out from the town through the township. With a little co operation among tbe farmers, these roads could lie extended all through the State and the Legislature should aid in the construction of the main lines of travel. If a man has a farm for sale and it attracts the atteu tion of a would-be purchaser, it would sell more readily and for a better price if on swell built road; for no one would want to buy a farm where he would be tied up all winter. Big loads of cotton can be hauled over the roads around the cities, but the man living off the roads can haul only what be can start with over his own country roads, so the improved roads are of little use to him and in many cases he has to pull up a steep hill only to go dowu on the other side, when a level road would take him around case r and quicker. Think of this, too, iu improving your roads. It Reached the Spot. Mr. K. Humphrey, who owns alarge general store at Omega, It., and is president of the Adams County tel ephone company, us well as of the Home telephone eompauy of I'ike county, O., says of lr.
