A Good Road Bill.
Our State has (ii IFered as nine
fur want of ood roads as she has
by the tniserablenesa of her free
schools. If we had good roads we
would have better schools. Having
neither schools nor roads worthy of
the name, and both being essential
to prosperity, it is not to bo won
dered that wo stand in poverty
boasting ot our resources, and mar'
veling how both txist in so great
measure in one and the same land
We have tithed tho mint and cumin
of politics devotedly, hut with the
greater concerns of our Common
wealth wo have been inglorioualy
negligent. Hut acliangois coming ;
and mure rapidly, good people, than
you would believe, you are say
ing very lilile about schools or
roads ; hut there aro men working
away for them, your grand-children
will build monuments over
their indifferent dust ; but that will
not vindicate your indifference even
though it tell a pathetic tale of their
unavailing gnititiido.
Day in and day out wo have seen
a man busily stirring back and forth
in the State Capitol. He rides a
"hobbv." thev sav. and others de
clare that a "hobby" rides him.
However that may be, the end will
bo that tho people shall ride more
easily, for all the rough-riding of
this "hobby." The man is father
of a road law : a bill, rather, to put
North Carolina on the way to letter
days; to send her farm products
and minerals to depots at small cost;
to save the farmers time ; to save
tho liurses am! the mules anil oxen
and tho wagons ; t j sve all told
live million dollars to our people:
every year, tho same which they
now pay in tune, in mud, in colds,
in trouble, in broken wheels, dead
horses and bad words, their princely
tribute to Had Koada the ono tax
and the greatest of all, that they
pay without protest whatever.
Wonderful people we arc. We
rear and charge and make speeches
and send men to Congress about
dog-taxes, and with never a wotd
go dowu to poverty ourselves pay
ing taxes to l.iid Iv ads.
I his bill authorizes County Com
missioners to levy a road tax. Of
course yon protest ; it is so much
moro inexpensive and pleasant to
throw ten times as much into the
ruts on the way to town. It fur
ther provides that there shall lie
Itoad anpcrviaiors, sftlsry from thir
ty-five to seventy five dollars a
month. There's an oflice fur some
body, and a world of work. He
sure it is filled by a worker and not
a politician. And, further, that all
able bodied citizens between twenty
one and forty-five years of ago shall
work on the roads four days in each
and every yehr. Protest again, of
course ; it is so much letter to work
ten days to no purpose in the win
ter-raud as you make your way
along to die Ix'fore your time of
pneumonia. The bill provides fur
ther for the employment of convicts
to assist in this work ; regulating
the grade and width of more im
portant roads ; for running roads
around hills instead of over them ;
and finally, when tho roads are im
proved or more money is provided;
for tho reduction of the number of
reqnired days of road labor, and tor
exempting counties that are issuing
nonds to build or improve roads;
which last two provisions mean the
sooner yon start the quicker your
happiness will be complete.
JNow JSorth Carolina must have
this law. She needs it. It will be
money in the pocket of everv in
dustrious man : it will be a home
for his wife : it will be bonnets on
the heads of his daughters ; acres of
land for his sons ; and cash for his
pastor and church and his paper.
t will help ns all ; let m help it
help us.
And we muot not fail tosav that
the man so busily working for this j
law, always in a hurry and never
ceasing, his "hobby" riding him to
death, is Professor J. A. Holmes.
He is not the fool-killer of that
name, but lie is in as good a busi
ness. Biblical Recorder.

THE CAPTURE OF IL0IL0
AFTER BOMBARDMENT MARINES
LAND WITHOUT OPPOSITION.
No Casualties Among United States
Troops -Americans Now In
Possession of Town.
General Miller reports to the Wsr
Department that tho tity of Iluilo
was taken on the 1 Ith inst. and held
by tho American troops. Tho in
surgctits were given 24 hours to
surrender, but tliuir hostile actions
brought on an engagement during
the morning. 1 he insurgents fired
tho native portion of the town, but
with little loss of property to foreign
inhabitants. No casualties among
tho United Stales trontw.
(In receipt of instructions from
Manila, General Miller sent native
commissioiif rs ashore from the I'.

transpi
tort St. Paul, with a com
munication lor tho rebel govern
or of Hollo, calling upon him to
surrender within the time stated,
and warning him not to make a
demonstration in tho interval. The
rebels immediately moved their
guns and prepared to defend their
position. I ho Petrel thereupon
tired two warning guns, tho rebels
immediately opening fire upon her.
The Petrel and tho Hiittimore thi n
banibarded the town, which the reb
els vacated, BfUr setting it on tire.
American troops were promptly
landed and extinguished t1 . liies in
all cases of foreign property, but
not befote considerable damage had
been done.
A Mai.ila special nf Feb. Nth
gives the following additional par
ticulars of the capture of ll.iilo:
On Friday morning (ion. Miller
sent an ultimatum to tho command
or of the rt be Is on shore, notifying
him that it w; his intention to lake
Iloilo, by force if necessary. .Non
combatants and foreigners were no
titled to leave the town within 21
hours. The rebels were also warned
that they nin-t make no further bel
ligerent preparations. The gunboat
Petrel was then moved to a position
close in shot and near the rebel
fort, while- the cruiser H"S'on took
up her station at the other end ol
the town. Friday passed quietly.
During the day many refugees left
the town of Iloilo, tho majority of
whom were taken on board foreign
ships lying in the harbor. Search
lights trom the I'nitoil States war
ships wire kept illuminating the
town and its defences all night long.
The rebe's, so tar as the lookouts on
the ships could discover, remained
quiescent throughout the night. At
li o'clock on Saturday morning, the
11th, the gnnbat Petrel signalled
to the cruiser Boston that the rebels
were working in their trenches. In
return tho Petrel was ordered to (ire
warning shots upon the town trom
her three pounders. This was done,
and the rebels replied with a harm
li'ss fnsiladc. The Boston and 'he
Petrel then bombarded the reln-ls'
trenches, completely clearing them
of their occupants in a very short
time Soon after the bombardment
began tUme broke out simultane
ously in various parts ot the town.
Thereupon forty eight marines, act
ing as infantry and artillery, were
landed from the Boston, and acorn
p y was sent ashore trom tho ro
trel. These detachments marched
straight into the town of Iloilo, and
hoisting the stars and 'stripes over
the fort, took possession of the place
in the name of the United States.
The capture of the town and its de
fences havi,, been accomplished,
the marines nd soldiers who had
tseen sent ashore proceeded to save
the Ameri-an, English and German
consulates from destruction by tire
which was raging among the inflatn
able buildings of the town. The
Swiss consul's residence, which was
in the same row as the consulates
named, was burned. Tho entire
Chinese and native sections of the
town were destroyed, but foreign
mercantile property escaped with
slight damage. There was some
I desultory tiring by the enemy in the j
outskirts of Iloilo, but not single
Amctieitn whs injured. General ;
Miller's force bad complete control j
of the situation when the Petrel j
sailed from Iloilo for Manila. The -Sixth
United Slates artillery regi- j
merit occupied a (.tosition command- ;
ing both the luidges leading into j
the town, and the Tennessee volnn- j
teers and the Eighteenth United !
States infantry were occupying the
trenches that had been constructed
by the reikis.
Manila, February l.L Col. Pot
ter, who arrived from Iloilo vester-
day, says: "On Sunday afternoon j

ion of the Eighteenth United States
infantry, with two Ilotchkiss guns
and one Gatling gnn, encountered
'.he enemy midway between Iloilo
and Jaro. There was a large btxiy
of them, occupying lxth sides of
the road, and tiiey met the advance
of the American troop with a se
vere and well directed fire. The
Americans deployed and returned
the fire with a number of voIUys.
The troop advanced steadily, sup
ported by the Ilotchkiss and Gatling
guns, ana drove the enemy through

tho crazed animal iiiiiuied at him
and he had to knock it oil with the

Giant Among Locomotives.
A monster mountain climbing
locomotive, built to ascend the steep
glades ot the fhigh Vaih-y rail
road, has j'ibt been com pled d ai the
Baldwin Locomotive Works, Phila
delphia. This engine, which is
claimed to be the largest locomotive
ever constructed in the United
States, is known as a Compound con
solidation engine, and weighs 1 1 r
fons.
It is so long that when it was
finished it whs discovered that it
could not turn the curves of the
siding loading from the shops wheie
it wa built to the main line of the
Reading Railroad, and the workmen
were compelled to jack it up several
times in order to overcome this tin
foreseen difficulty. Hundreds of
persons watched with great interest
this novel work of lifting it over the
curves. It Iihs been numbered tlM,
and is guaranteed to pull a train ot
1 ,000 tons seventeen milis per hour
over the steepest grades of the
Lehigh Valley. This giant among
locomotives will use buckwheat coal
for fuel.
Its general dimensions are h fol
lows : The cylinders arc eighteen
inches in diameter, high pressure,
and thirty inches in diameter, low
pressure. The boiler iseight v inches
ir. diameter, and contains ol I tulws
two inches in diameter. There are
four driving wheels on each side,
filty-tive inches in diameter. The
boiler and firebox areof steel, while
the total weight of Wie engine in
pounds is 225,OS:i. This weight,
added to that of the tender, amounts
the enormous total of o-JH,OOo
pounds. The tender has a tank
capacity of 7,0oii gnllons, and the
engine is guaranteed to run for a
considerable distance, namely, from
Cox ton to Fairview, two stations on
the Ihigh V alley, without taking
water.
When compared with a regulation
locomotive, some dea of the nion
ster proportions of ibis giant hx-o
motive can be obtained. An ordin

A druggist in Macon, Ga., sivtr

good results claimed for it. All women
agree that ir makes labor shorter and stst
painful."
Mother's Friend

are redilv experienced hv all expectant
mothers who use it. tears ago it passed
the experimental stage. Vl'hile it always
shorten labor and lessens the pain of
delivery, it is also o' the greatest benedt
during the earlier moajt of pregnancy.
Morning sickness and nervousness are
readily overcome, and the liniment relavr

expand without causing distress. Mother'
friend g'ves great recuperative power to
the mother, and ber recovery is sure and
