KIN8TON-JACK80NVILLE ROAD. : Senator Pollock baa Introduced into the senate a bill to allow the commis sioner of Lenoir, Jones and Onslow counties to build a public road from JKlnston through the above named ounties to J acksonvillp. Ho more Important public improve- r ment could be inaugurated for the en hancement of the welfare of the three ' counties affected than this proposed road would be. An extensive stretch of productive country would be drawn nearer to an excellent market for Its r produce. In this way the farmerwould realize more from his labor. He would save enormously in the cost of trans portatiou. And he would always have ample, free and convenient means of reaching a market with his products ' ' Mot only this, but the business in terests of Kinston would receive an Impetus that would hardly come in any other way. Let the bill pass the assembly. And after its passage, let us avail our selves of the opportunity afforded. 0 AMERICA STANDS FOR THE ROYALTY OF MAN By ANDREW CARNEGIE mm CONCEALED WEAPON8 AND MUR DER. ThiB paper has already called at tention to the fact that our present law I regarding the crime of murder is not satisfactory. The law must be amend ed before satisfactory results can be liad. The law as framed comes nearer as suring immunity to a would be crimi nal from paying the death penalty than to deterring him from the com mission of a dastardly homicide. It I would be better to have murder un graded than to have the law and the rules of evidence such as to make it almost impossible to prove murder in the first degree. - Punishment is not so certain as it should be; and the degree of punish ment is so uncertain that the offender ; is lead to hope that he will be the bene ficiary of the law's leniency. ; - The laws must be so framed as not to allow the ends of justice to be frus trated, : Retribution must be r made ure and swift; and we will find that! such outrageous affairs tit have oc curred recently will disgrace us no ; longer. AfERICA has been first in electricity, although we be gan late. But the man who wins is the man who says to fortune and the gods themselves, "I don't believe it." It takes the electrical atmosphere of America to produce these great men. Graham Bell was a Scotchman. So even in electricity there's the north half of a little island in the North sea which isn't to be left out in the doing of great things. THE AMERICAN, IN MY EXPERIENCE AND I HAVE KNOVWt BOTH LANDS WELL 13 THE MOST CO-OPERATIVE MAN THAT EXISTS TODAY. t There ia this about an American of all men he's fair minded, he doesn't want to overreach himself, he's not implacable I think he's placable he doesn't want to make enemies. The test of popularity isn't the wideness of a man. It's what hia fellows think of him. That is wanting in a nation that doesn't know how to assimilate in its social activity. When the man at the bench becomes your best friend, the enterprise on which your energies have been bent has behind it a force that is irresistible. There is something beyond this individual quality. Our repub lican institutions are to be credited with much of the ability and suc cess with which we are going forward toward the material supremacy of the earth. There isn't one right enjoyed by any one that is denied to another. We are not asking who your forefathers were. We're asking what you do. THIS NATION HAS THE TREMENDOUS ADVANTAGE THAT IT 8TANDS NOT FOR THE ROYALTY OF THIS FAMILY OR THAT, BUT FOR THE ROYALTY OF MAN. AMERICA IS AHEAD BECAUSE ANY MAN'8 PRIVILEGE IS EVERY CITIZEN'S RIGHT. THE CANAL SITUATION. The New York Sun. thus comments on the feats of Hon. John T. Mor gan, of Alabama, In view of his atti tude toward the ratification of the treaty with Colombia upon which de-1 v -sends the success of the Panama eanal.

It may be the death of some of them if lie persists in his monologue. The old gentleman is very proud of his organ of speech and his physical endurance as proud as he is of his record during the war as a "mounted ambulance." It is estimated that be saved 3,000 stricken Confederate soldiers by taking them to the rear on his horse and soothing them to sleep with a monologue. It is suggested to Mr. Morgan's colleagues that they How him to break his record for long distance talking, when being compli mented on all sides for bis fluency be will capitulate gracefully and . let the treaty be voted on. fic '.;-;?

BLACK of New York EXCOLN'S name and his performances in the linea which he pursued have been cut into the rock of Amer ican history with the deepest chisel yet made use of on this continent. But it is not by the grandeur of his powers that he has most appealed to me, but rather by those softer, homelier traits that bring him down to a closer and more affectionate view. And Lincoln was never more imposing than when the milder attributes of his nature were exposed. HE WAS GENUINE, HE WAS AFFECTIONATE, AND, AFTER ALL IS 8AID AND, THE END IS REACHED, WHAT IS THERE WITHOUT THESE TWO f -, , . - You may measure the heights and sound the depths; you may gain the greatTewards of power 'and renown; you may quiver under the electric current of applause the time will come when these will fall from you like the rags that cover your body. ' THE ROBES OF POWER AND THE HUSK8 OF PRETENSE WILL ALIKE BE 8TRIPPED AWAY, AND YOU MUST STAND AT" THE END AS YOU STOOD AT THE BEGINNING, REVEALED. None had less to fear from such a test than. Abraham Lincoln, and his strength in that regard arose, it seems to uie, from the pres ervation through all his life of that fondness for his early home, of the tender recollections of his family and their struggles, which kept his sympathy alwaysvwann and young. HE WAS NEVER SO GREAT BUT THAT THE TIES OF HIS YOUTH STILL BOUND HIM. He was never so far away but that he could still hear the note of the evening bird in the groves of his nativity. THE PRESERVATION OF THE HOME By JACOB A. BUS. Author of How the Other Half Uvea" u IPON the preservation of the home depends the existence of the country for the home makes the man. The thought 'often expressed that men are unable to govern themselves is the direct result of the inhuman condition of the tenement houses. . - v A MAN CANNOT LIVE LIKE . A PIQ AND VOTE LIKE A MAN. BUT THERE MAY BE PIGS IN PARLORS, TOO, At WELL AS IN HOVELS. STILL THE HOME It THE MAINSTAY. WIPE OUT THE HOME, AND THE WHOLE STRUCTURE OF GOVERNMENT FALLS. IT IS A CHILD'S RIGHT TO HAVE A HOME.

He has fought - long and nobly for the canal; but be may cast a shadow over his record by undue oppo sition to the treaty. Mll III W The Stomach U U Mas.

But Nellie had no mother to caress her no tender, lov Ing hand to smooth her tangled carls. Her home was a garret In a slum, and her mother bad died years ago, whoa N'ellia was a tiny blue eyed baby. And now her only friend was a roguish lit tle Irish lad, who, with his merry dark eyes and laughing face, had won her heart more than a year ago, when one bleak November day some rough street boys had wantonly upset her basket of flowers, and, Mike had stur dily come to the rescue, scattering the offenders left and right with a flourish of his muddy broom. t Ever since that memorable day Mike had been enshrined as a hero in Nel He's heart They were always together in their leisure hours. Mike never tired of listening to her stories and her songs and would beg again and again for "just one more," his dark eyes growing wide and ra diant as Nellie sang of the streets of gold apd of the Joys which awaited the children in "the kingdom called home." . "How can we get there, Nellie?" he questioned eagerly one day. "Do you know the way?" Nellie shook her bead a little sadly. "We can't find out the way until we die. Then an angel with a golden crown will come and take our hand and show us the way." : Mike's saucy face grew grave. "l wish we could go, Nellie you and me," he whispered. "You could sing there, Nellie, without policemen telling as to move on, couldn't you?" Then anxiously, as a new thought occurred, "There won't be uo policemen there. Nellie, will there T" Another shake of the golden head. "Of course not, Mike. There'll be no need of them. Everybody's good and hnnnv nn there. Oh. Mite, think nf " clapping her thin little hands. . Mike watched his little comrade's shining eyes and radiant face and felt a strange sinking at his heart as bo noticed how fragile the little arm had become and heard the short, quick cough which came from the pale lips ever and anon. Was Nellie going to die and leave him? he wondered vague ly. Ah, how dreary life would be with out her! A quick sob rose in his throat and he brushed his small, rough hand resolutely across his eyes. All that night Nellie's little wan face haunted him, banishing sleep from his eyes. At length, as he lay tossing on the lieap, of straw which formed his bed, a brilliant Idea entered his curly head. Nellie must go to the sea. lie bad beard of wonderful cures which a change of air bad wrought There was Tim, the lame boy, at the end of the courtM-why, he had not been like the same ootid since that three weeks visit to Margate. And old ' Joe,' the shoe maker, was never tired of telling how the fresh, pure air had "made a new man" of him. Tea, Nellie muBt certain ly go to the sea, and be, Mike, must find the money. This settled, he fell asleep, . Early and late the little fellow toiled. carefully hoarding every halfpenny be could save, running errands, sweeping crossings, selling papers, counting no labor too much which brought an addi tion to Ms treasured hoard. , , , . Meanwhile the bright summer days melted Into autumn, the sunshine fad ed, to give place to chilling winds and damp mists, . All this did not tend to Improve , Nellie's cough. A bright spot of vivid color burned on the white face, and the blue eyes shone with unnatural brilliancy. - , Mike noted the change with great satisfaction. . "You're getting such a rosy face, Nell T he exclaimed gladly. "And your eyes shine like two big stars. There'll be no need of street lamps soon," he added, with true Irish gallantry. Nellie smiled the sweet patient smile which Mike loved so dearly. She would not pain him by telling of the sleepless nights ' and ; torturing cough, of the strange, chilly feeling at her heart and the weary aching of her wasted Umbs. With that divine unselfishness which characterizes some natures she bravely strove to' hide from him the true state of affairs and would still try to tell night after night In faint weak .tones. the story they both loved so welL One cold winter ' night when , the snow was softly falling, covering the muddy streets with a pure white man tle, Mike 'crept to the old familiar cor ner to hear 7t once again "the old weet tale."'
