Good roadg is always an entertain
ing subject How to construct them
and of what material islikewise inter
eHtiir. Many Rubstitutes for macad
nm have ben cfTored, (he latest be
ing related in condensed form by the
Charlotte Cronicle:
The Solvay Process Comany, of
Syracuse, propo-ing to do some new
roa(J work free to any county that de-
flires it, ia, perhaps, entitled to the
f n-e adverliBing thBt goes with its
offer. It sends us a copy of a com-J
munication which it has addressed to
road builders all over the country,
asking for the privilege of laying
sample stretches of its good roads, at
its own expense. Its road material
is known as "Solvay Granulated Cal
cium Chloride" and the claims made
for it are: It extracts waterfromthe
air to dampen and lay the dust; it
retains this moisture and keeps the
dust laid for a long period of time;
it cements the surface of the road
and protects it from wear; it retains
and blends thoroughly with the road
material, enough rain water to coat
the road with a new, smooth surface.
when the rain dries away;, it has a
highsanitary value by preventing the
formation of dust, which is a convey
er of disease, and it ia cheaper than
either watr or oil and produces bet
ter results without any of the incon
venience attendant upon the use of
either. All new things these days are
worth investigating, and as this com
pany is so sure that it has a good
thing as to offer to demonstrate it
free of cost, there would seem to be
no reason why it should not be in
vited to come along and give a. proof
of its claims. ; ' '
Most men are willing to be given
something for nothing, , why not
counties? Let the company come
alone and make a demonstration and
if the sample will stand up for a year
under heavy traffic maybe a contract
can be had even in this county of
good roads.; ,? - v ,

According to the latest obtainable
statistics, the farmers of six con
tiguous Southern States Mississip
pi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas,
and Virginia spend over 50,000,000
a year for commercial fertilizers
The total public school fund of these
States amount to 811,000,000.
And of the $50,000,000 paid for
fertilizers, it is not too much to
say that over $11,000,000 is wasted
through ignorance of crop and aoil
need. ' f ;:l ' ' :r :-'
In other words, our ignorance tax
on the one single, soliterj item of
commercial fertilizers alone is more
than the total amount we are spend
ing on public schools for increasing
the intelligence of our children! ;
If the $50,000,000 spent by these
States ia profitable now, reasonable
knowledge of fertilizer facts would
make it twice as profitable. "Or to
puc it differently: reasonably careful
study of soil needs, crop needs, the
functions of different fertilizing ele
ments, etc., etc, would add $50,000,
000 a year to the profits of onr South
ern farmers.
.-, And $50,000,000 a year properly
expended in bond issues, as interest
and sinking fund, would put an eight
months' centralized graded school
within reach of eyery farm boy and
girl in these States would put a
macadam road in these States, and
would carry on a campaign against
tuberculosis, typhoid fever, malaria
and hookworm diseases that would
probably increase by one-fifth the
average length of human life. ;
How fearful the waste of igno
rance on one despised commodity!

I was rather amused at the wail
pent up recent by the Winston-Salem
Journal over Ihe fact that forty-nine
people had gone West to try their
fortunes or misfortunes at farming
in the land of golden sunset. The
Journal, in common with the rest of
North Carolina people, who desire to
see the Southland forgeahead, right
fully asks "Why not apply the same
up-to-date methods of farming here
that are applied in the great North
west." ' v
Our methods are indeed antedelu-
vian, and there should be a revolu
tion along certain lines To this
end the writer wishes to call the at
tention of the "News Observer" to
the part it can take as a State me
dium in this great change necessary
to the weal of the grand old North
State. '
Recently your paper made a great
hit in keeping "The Girl from Rec
tor's" out of Raleigh.. Your columns
fairly teemed with pride over the
feat! Now then, add a few more
laurels by driving out of the whole
State a few pernicious evils while
not contaminating the morals of the
Commonwealth, but on the other
hand are affecting the financial and
prosperous growth of the State.
First, the pernicious homestead law
in its present form. v
Second, the outrageous mortgage
or lien practices of what we term
"time stores." These are two fac
tors that art at work .holding the
agricultural interests of North Caro
lina to the grindstone.
The farmer who is content to raise
what hejterms a "money crop" . and
fails to attempt to raise his own
home necessities is disloyal to him
self, to his family and to the State
of North Carolina, Follow the route
of the traveling salesman in season
and out of season, behold the North
Carolina farmer wending his way
home from t;owjj.wjth corn, hay, meat,
lard the products of the Western
farmer and bought at a time store
then you have a solution of the ques
tion "Why is the West prosperous?"
We. the tenants of as good land as
there is on God's, green earth, are
paying into the coffers of the West
the profits of our money crop-cotton.
While the Western farmers are buy
ing automobiles; we are placing a
lien on our very souls, to "be paid
out of next year's ctod" to purchase
the necessaries of life, and fertilizers
to enrich our soil, which should be
strengthened by cattle "upon a thou
sand hills."
The acreage of cotton will be
large this year ' because of high
prices last year. This "time mer
chants" are unloading mules, bug
gies, harness and fertilizers in un
usually large quantities in "antici
pation" the same old methods are
in vogne -the very essentials, home
supplies, will be neglected then
what? v If the various cotton States
have a large yield, some of these
"poor, downtrodden farmers," yes a
host of them, will ."hit the ceiling
so high" they will never return.
This is not the cry of a pessimist,
but the cry of one who long ago has
tired of seeing our people driving in
the same "old rut." The press of
North Carolina headed by the in
trepid Daniels, can have no greater
honor than to bring the Tar Heels
back to "hog and hominy." Continue
to raise cotton, continue to help the
tobacco trust to flourish, but how
long! oh! how long, before we can
hear the squeal of the' porker-and
look upon the fields of gram "white
unto harvest." Len Philips, in

Senator Aldrich'a arraignment of
his party for extravagance and waste
to the. enormous extent of $300,000.
000 in yearly administrations is the
topic of first interest in the national
capital and .will doubtless continue
such for a long time to come- In fact
the confession of one of the trium
virate Aldrich, Cannon and Payne
that rules- the party ' in Congress
promises to divide public attention
with the tarriff in the election of this
year. It is nothing that Senator Ald:
rich has participated in an extrava
gance that has Increased in dismal
proportions until within a brief time
billion dollar Congresses have be
come billion dollar sessions. The
responsibility is with his party.
While Senator Aldrich have yet
decended to particulars in his in
dictment of his party's profligacy
in expenditure, they are within easy
reach of all the people who bear
the heavy burdens-, of .government
which Republican rule has entailed
on them. In 1890 the total appropri
ations for governwent were $340,
000,000 and the 'appropriations for
one year by the late Congress were
swolen to upward of ,$1,100,000!
The apropriations for the Army and
Navy amounted to $238,132,000 last
year the "pork ; barrel" contains
$42,000,000 for distribution. With
all the extravagance in military ap
propriations, the creation of new
officers and sinecures' and- the in
creases of salaries have kept even
pace. For detectives upward of
$7,000,000 was expended last year.
In 1840 party denounced the extrav-
gances of Van Buren's simple and
economical administration and he
was caricatured as fleeing from the
White House, with the gold , spoons
dropping out of his coat pockets.
The appropriations for the White
House last year, including salary,
traveling expenses and automobiles
and carriages of the President,
amounted to nearly $330,000, and the
party of imperial expenditures did
not balk at it in the least. '
In view of the movement of Sen
ator Aldrich the question results
whether the party that has commit
ted all this extravagance can be
intrusted with the' herculean task
of clearing the Augean stables. Con
ceding the sincere desire of Presi
dent Taf t to introduce economy in
certain directions, the pressure of
a party long steeped in extravagance
is too great for him. As for Sena
tor Aldrich" it requires a great deal
of credulity to believe him capable
of reforming the notorious abuses
and extravagance which he denoun
ces. Philadelphia Record. , .
Peary Wants Whole Bog-.
Syracuse, N: Y-, March 10.-Matt-Henson,
lecturing in this city on his
trip to the North Pole with Com
mander." Robert J2. Teary, tonight
expressed indignation at what he
termed Peary's "shalby treatment
of him since their return to this
rnnntrv.

Commander Peary is "getting his"
just now. His friends want to make
him a xear admiral, retired, but the
Congressional committee demands
proof of his alleged discovery of the
Pole. Peary has been on the rolls of
the United States navy os an officer,
drawing pay, during all the years
that he has been seeking the north
pole. The government has not paid
the expense of his expeditions, but
he has hod the invaluable moral sup
port of the United States In his work.
He has declared that it was the
proudest moment of bis life when
he planted the Stars and Stripes on
the North Pole.
Now it is proposed that Peary be
made a rear admiral in honor of his
work as an explorer. The committee
of Congress demands first that the
proofs of the accomplishment of this
exploration be submitted to the com
mittee, representing the government.
before his right to so high an honor
is passed upon. Peary declines, alleg
ing that his proofs are essential to
the value of the articles for publica
tion which be has agreed to write,
and that to submit his proofs to the
committee would be to violate that
agreement. ' The publication of his
articles is essential, he says, to the
payment of his obligations and the
support of his family.
Retirement at the rank of rear ad
miral will mean more than honor; it
means a most substantial increase in
income for the rest of his lif e-an in
crease which would stfffice for the
wants of the average family. - Peary
is willing, however, it seems, to fore
go this certain income and the great
honor whidh accompanies it, in order
to Becure the perhaps greater amount
of money from his publications.
Since the discovery of the pole has
been made by the discoverer a com
mercial proposition, we see no reason
why the government of the United
States should further reward the dis
coverer. It is to be hoped that the
proposition to retire Peary as a rear
admiral f will ' fail. Greensboro
