Those people who are opposed to good roads, and there are lots of them, strange as it may seem, should paste the following in their hat and read it at every opportunity: "A farm having 100 acres in culti vation requires at least two teams to cultivate this size farm. In Catawba the farms are, on an average, eight miles from market or railroad; put the difference of the amount of work done by each horse at $5, hauling over good roads and bad ones, which makes $20. A farm of this size us ually has two wagons and two other vehicles of some kind. Put the sav ing at $2.50 each and you have the saving of $10 more, which will make $30. The road tax on an average farm of this size, at 20 cents per hun dred, will not be over $3. "The objection, made by some peo ple, that we are too poor to build good roads is a mistake. The fact is we are too poor not to build them. ! Increasing traffic makes the unim- s(ate law ,,roVides for bags of 12, 14, proved roads worseand worse.

There is not a single county in the state, wnere road improvement has been started, that the people are not anx ious to carry it on as rapidly as pos sible." The above is taken from an article written by Mr. R. L.- Shu ford, ot Ca tawba county, on "Why Should Build Good Roads. Catawba The ar- tiia"n nn-nrdoH :i m-t7B nt Hip r.i. tawba county fair. , : Good roads cost money, b.n so do nn'l ones, it is mis latter laer mat tnose who oppose good roads fail to nrasp. ; Mtv HhitfoVd's figures ought to help them to grasp (hat fact.

The thousands of people WhO .i. i Favetleville street Satur- day night is the hest evidence that I wero sf h that no one :n the city plenty or lights will put life into alco,"J lieen !l ho and this worked a city.

A noteworthy event in newspaper dom Is the purchase of the Birming ham News by Victor H. Hanson and F. P. Glass. Mr. Hanson has been connected with The News for some ', time, having been associated with J the late Rtt f us IT. Rhodes. Mr. Han- son will have the management of the paper, which Is one of the best news- J paper properties in the south, and ,Mr. Glass will remain in Montgom- ery with The Advertiser. THE SKATING NUISANCE. . . The fact that the Board of Alder- j men allowed the children of the city to skate on the sidewalks and cap- ltol grounds has caused a great amount of unfavorable comment says if he could run this govern from the citizens of t;ie city. ! met on business principles he could If is a nice thing for the children to've 300.000 a year. Possibly, but if he did, who would get the have some place to play, but when i monev, , hundreds of children with skates are! . ' ' ' . . . , No prize is offered for the best turned loose on the sidewalks, that are crowded with ladies, many of them having their nurses and babies, it cail readily be seen that it is not only a nuisance but it is positively dangerous to the people who have to go on the sidewalks. A large crowd of children on a sidewalk on roller skates are ninhy times more danger ous than so many boys on bicycles would lie if allowed lo ride on the walks. As to the walks around the capitol, where many nabies are taken by the nurses and mothers in the af ternoon, it is exceedingly dangerous to have a lot of skaters plunging and falling on the walks. We doubt whether the ordinance would apply to the capitol grounds, but it is be ing used just the same. It can read ily be seen that it forms a nuisance to everybody who goes on the streets, and that it is very dangerous to the ladies and small children crossing on the streets. The business men of the city have just cause for their de nunciation and protest against such a nuisance. DRYNESS DECOMKS EPIDEMIC. Poor Charlotte! Every club and most of the good citizens indicted for hoving over two and one-half gal lons of liquor nt one time on one day. And now the startling informa tion is given out that 2,59ti 'prescrip tions were issued for whiskey during February. At that rate the entire population must have had an epi demic of grippe during February, or possibly February is the worst month for dryness in the year. Greensboro and Wadesboro may not show up so bad in comparison after all. The state law regulating the num ber of pounds in a sack of meal or flour offered for sale in this state is to be put to the test by a Chicago firm. This firm is offering flour in bags containing 140 po-jnds. The terstate commerce law to place such restrictions upon an article shipped into the state. Attorney General Bickett says the law, which was pass ed by the last legislature, will stand .the test of the courts In the course of his opinion, he says: "The statute does not prescribe the weight of packages that may be . shipped into this state but confines ' j itself to packages sold or offered for j isnle in this state. rt herefore, the i sae whidl js re!fulaedi is essentiai,v ! domestic, and the domain of inter-l state commerce, is not entered at all. i a I lie protection of our people from 1 fraud and imposition and the rights of the state to enact such laws in re-- said to weights and measures is : universally recognized The mani-' fpal lllll-nnun nf mil bl-ihila iu tr : 1 " ..- 1 weishts and measures.

Along with the. big crowds out. 'for a car ride yesterday there was the usual number of muddy and filthy j dogs on the cars. On one car a dog was seen lying on a seat and a' lady j was standing holding, to the strap.j How long will such conditions he al- lowed to exist? WHO WOULD GKT IT? A correspondent asks the New York Times the following qr.es- ticn: i "r observe that Senator Aldrlch profit for himself if he will study the question for a little while.

Press Comment. Civic Improvement. The civic Improvement idea is grow ing rapitllv nl: over the country and plans for the further .bcautiflcation of various cities arc constantly being made. The trouble with most cities, from the standpoint of attractiveness, if that they Avert- built without being planned beforehand and hence lack symmetry. 1 a number of ways this defect is- now bcinti remedied in cities throughout the-country and landscape architects are being employed to siik-gi-st ways and means of providing for more attention to civic beauty in the further Improvement of those citie:-. A few hundred dollars spent in the' em ployment of a competent municipal architect for a short time would be a "good investment for any city. A n expert in this line could give valuable suggestion! that might prevent mis takes in the futures, as far as looking after civic beauty is concerned. In discussing the- rapid growth of the civic Improvement idea and the steps being taken bv various cities along this line the New York livening Mail has the following: ;' , "Some interesting information con-' coming the movement for municipal improvement in the ' I'nitcd States is presented in a bulletin issued by the American Civic Association from its new offices in Washington. Accordin to the facts set forth, there If- a wide spread awakening to the heed of broader ideas in city planning. This growing desire for more attractive cities and -towns has already developed what might almost be called a new profession, the members of which bear the same relation to the making of cities that architects do to the build ing of bouses. The whole movement is educational in the truest sense. "Washington, the first American city that was planned before it was built, naturally serves jis a sort of Inspira tion to the leaders of this new enter prise. Following its example, Chicago- proposes to spend $7IT.0W on plans for municipal betterments which will cost $80,000,000. Boston, with a great ex position projected for mis, has decid ed upon an extensive study of condi tions with a view of obtaining the best artistic effects ill the proposed struc tures, St. Paul.
