UNCLE SAM ON PUBLIC ROADS.
We would call the attention of our
country friends to the fact that the
Post-office Department Is to have in
spectors appointed in the rural free
delivery part of the service whose
duty it shall be to determine whether
the roads over which it is proposed
rural carriers shall travel are tit.
At present the department Is
swamped with complaints of the
rural carriers about the condition of
the roads over which they are ex
pected to carry the mail. The duty
of the inspector shall be to examine
all the roads about which complaint
is made. If they tiud the allegation
true they will notify the Supervisors
of the townships through which the
roads pass that unless they are put
in condition within a fixed time the
carrier services will be discontinued.
There are about 14,000 rural free de
livery routes.
GOOD F0r"nEW HANOVER.
An idea of the hold the good roads
movement has gotten on New Han
over county may be gained from the
treasurer's annual statement, just
made public. The amount expended
for road purposes since March 4th is
$39,oS9. News and Observer, 0th.
This Is not a very bad showing for
the smallest county in the State
perhaps not half so large as Gran
ville yet what have we done?
NOTHING! What are we going to
do? That's the question! Gran
ville, a county that boasts of her
prestige, of the intelligence and pro-
gressiveness of her citizens, has done
nothing, absolutely and literally
nothing, to improve her public roads.
No wonder that so many of our good
citizens are leaving us every year
and going to counties that are more
progressive. Here are the facts : We
must either fall in line and improve
our roade, or even more of our farms
will be abandoned, and home-seekers
will continue to ignore us. Can we
afford to permit this? We have lost
enough in taxes, in the past ten
years, by emigration alone, to have
put our roads in fairly good condi
tion. How much longer are we
going to continue this suicidal course?

IF A MAN HAD TWO LIVES.
Would the Second be Any Better Than
the First? A Practical Test.
"You hear men talking about what
they would do If they could live
their lives over again," said a man
who passes for a sage in the hotel
where he lives uptown. "Here is an
experience which makes me have
doubts on the subject:
' 1 went back to the county where
I grew up, and which 1 left forty
years ago. The first thing I did after
1 had been in the old town a few
hours was to go down to Jim Sim's
place.
"Jim was the first Scot I ever
knew. He was an old seaman. He
was the first man to introduce the
Scotch game of shuffle-board In the
old town. He taught me the game.
"Jim was not at the old place
when I went back. He had been
dead fifteen years. However, 1 play
ed shuffle, the first time In many
years, and I did other things which
go with the game, and went out of
the place, as I had gone out of It
years before.
"The next day I went up to the
old court house where the boys used
to loaf in summer. 1 clambered up
into the cupola and went outside,
and looked down upon the old hills
and valley.
"And then I jerked out my pocket
knife and cut my name in the wood
en railing around the cupola which
was asort of city directory. Every
body who went up their cut his
name on railing.
"Not far away was the old hill
where the school house used to stand
It was gone, but the hill was white
with snow and the boys were coast
ing as we used to coast.
" I borrowed a sled from a young
ster, and lying down belly -buster
fashion, 1 made a trip down the
track, as I used to do. It shook me
up a bit, but I did It, and, as in other
days, I narrowly escaped collidiug
with a wagon.
"1 went into a store where every
one used to know me. It was arrang
ed very different from the old store,
but the fever was on me and I sat
down on a counter.
"The floorwalker asked me where
I came from. I told him He said
that nobody ever sat on a counter
in these days.
"Wherever I went the old desire to
do what I had done in the old days
came back upon me. It came very
near resulting in my undoing.
"I was passing by a house where I
used to go courting. The old house
was not changed very much, and the
first thing I knew I was atthe door
pulling the bell-knob out its socket.
A demure woman answered the
ring.
" 'Is Miss Amanda at home?' I ask
ed. That was the name of the girl I
used to go to see in that home.
"The matron looked at me very
suspiciously and slammed the door.
As I was passing down the walk the
man of the house overtook me and
demanded an explanation and an
apology.
"I finally explained who I was and
then the man asked me to go back,
which I did. He showed me around
the old place and I had a pleasant
visit. He was a pretty good fellow
after all. As I was leaving lie said:
" M suppose you always kissed
sweetheart in leaving?'
"I told him he was all right on tel
epathey. " 'Well,' he replied, 'there isn't any
girl here now for you to kiss. I am
doing all that business myself in this
establishment. Rut if you'll step into
my den we'll have a drink together. '
"His den was the room of Amanda's
brother, and there he and I used to
go find make sneaks on his father's
bottle.
"And now whenever I hear a man
talking about what he would do if
he could live his life over I conclude
that he would do just what he did
before if he were in same place. I
don't believe any of us would be any
better than we are, and probably not
as good.
"In leaving the old town I saw an
orchard that was familiar. The train
passed by it. But the inclination to
get Into that orchard and steal fruit
came back upon me as strongly as it
did when In other days I yielded to
it. I felt like jumping from the
train." New York Sun.

Love for God's House.
I have read the 'fifty-first Psalm
hundreds of times. Today I read it
again When I reached the ISth
verse, I was struck with David's love
for God's house. He prayed: "Do
good in thy good pleasureuntoZIon;
build thou' the walls of Jerusalem."
This petition is remarkable because
it comes in David's penitential pray
er. David was a Christian ; but in
an unguarded moment he had fallen
into the.dreadful sin of adultery and
murder. The 51 st Psalrn Is his pray
er of sincere repentance.
Christians may sin, but like Dai Id
and Peter, they will sooner or later
repent, and be forgiven. Here Is one
difference between a Christian and a
sinner, the Christian sins and repents
and Is forgiven, but the sinner sins
and does not repent. Before David
repented of his sin he could not pray.
In verse 15 he says: "Open thou my
lips, and my mouth shall show forth
thy praise." Sin cherished unrepent
ed of, hushes the voice of prayer. In
Psalm 00:10, David said: "If I regard
iniquity in my heart, the Lord w7ill
not hear me." lief ore David's sin,
he loved God's house, and as soon as
he repented he loved It again. In
Psalm S4, he exclaims: " How amia-
J ble are thy tabernacles O Lord ol
hosts; my soul longetn, yea, eeu
fainteth for the courts of the Lord."
David loved God's house because it
was God's own institution. The
church and the family are the only
institutions of Divine origin. All
others are of human origin, and are
therefore of minor importance. David
loved God's house, because it was
the special place where He promises
to meet with and bless His people.
It is the place where the best of earth
meet in the sweetestChristian fellow
ship. " Might I enjoy the meanest place,
Within thy house, O God of grace;
Not tents of ease, nor thrones of
power
Should tempt my feet to leaye the
door."
David said: "I had rather be a
door-keeper in the house of my God,
than to dwell in the tents of wicked
ness." The measure of a truly good man
Is not his love of country, or busi
ness, or learning, or interest in hu
man organizations, but his devotion
to the house of God.
Ali truly good people love God's
house. It is impossible to be good
without loving it. In so far as a
Divine institution is better than a
human institution, in so far is the
church better than any other organ
ization. Jesus Christ is the only Saviour of
mankind. The church is God's ap
pointed agency to make known Christ
to the world. Blot out churches and
we would go back to heathenism.
Churches are not only the teachers of
salvation from sin, through Jesus
Christ, but they are the promoters
of intelligence and civilization. No
wonder then that good people love
the church. It should have more of
our love, and service, and means.
They who love the church most on
earth, will enjoy heaven most. The
highest position a man can reach on
earth, is to be a good church mem
ber. That carries with it all other
possible goodness. This goodness is
attainable by all who love it, and
earnestly strive for it.

when you sell on my floor, It is always a pleasure to me to put every
dollar I can in your pockets. Look out and come to the Johnson and
you shall have the highest prices on all grades that can be reached.
Yours to continue to serve.
