Apr. 29 1903 Mr, Andrew Oarnegie has just given to Booker Washington $600, 000 for Tuskegee Institute, with only one string tied to it, and that being that neither Booker nor his wife should be allowed to suffer du ring: their lifetime. The good roads question seems to be having a hard road to travel these days. In Rockingham and Davidson counties the elections were called off owing to some irregular ities it was stated, but we suspect that it was simply because the ad vocates knew that it would be dej teated, and in Catawba county it was defeated by about six to one. It seems funny, but it is true, that the farmers- who are the ones the most directly inteiested, are almost invariably against good roads. But whentyou say anthing about taxes you get very close to all of us, no difference whether we be paipeis or millionaires. Ik the suspension of the Ledger Monthly we feel like we had almost lost one of oui family. The first pa per that we ever subscribed to was - the New Yoik Ledger, it was then called and issued weekl 7. For more than twenty year3 it has been visit ing us and when wejnisseu the March number we dioVt think about cur old friend being in hard . straights, but when the April num ., ber failed to show up we began to raise a row, but pretty soon it was given oat that it had suspended publication. We hope it has suspend, ed on'y temporary, for there must be many who feel about it just as we do. You frequently hear it said, that our Senators and Corgressmen are not paid a sufficient salary for them to liye as they should and at the same time lay by in store for a rainy day. It seems from all reports that at least two of our Senators have managed somehow to do well on this salary. Ex-Senator Butler seems in no wise cramptd financially since be - was retired from office, and now we see it stated that Ex-Senator Pritch-. ard has bought a magnificent home in the City of Washington and will v move there in the near future. But of course they were just good finan ciera, and Kitchin and all the other fellows who do not get riclj off of their jobs are spendthrifts. By bringing men who testify falsely before a magistrate and force ing them to admit that they lied and then scattering their testimony to the four winds of (he earth, Rev. HJ. L.

Mr. Editor: In a recent issue I see another letter from 'Woodburn ite," to which I want to make a re- Oh no Mr. Woodburnite, I did hot try to kill you. You say that the whiskey trade causes more deaths than all other tredes put together. Now. I say you can not establish that. Do you believe that God's arrangements will be fiustrated in in any way? t you do. I don't. It seems to me that Mr. Wood burnite is like Paul was before his conversion, he confessed that he was a Pharisee of the strictest sect; he actually thought that he was doing God's service when he was present ing the saints, but God in his own and his pwn time struck him down with blindness. He is also able to bring me and Mr. Woodburnite in the same way. Now Mr. iVoodburnite I would ask that you establish that whiskey is doing more harm than anything else. You can not prove it bv his tory, nor in the lids of the Bible Where God forbids man from eating or drinking nothing in' a temperate way. You say that you were told yoa that it killed one and a quarter millions of men every year, now you are talking about something you know nothing about, neither can you prove it. Mr. Woodburnite do you think that if the whifcky was moved from this country that we vould be a bet ter people in the sight of God? If you do I think you had better to to read ing. Yon say that no respectable man w ill go in a barroom would ask ydu which is the greatest crime, to go in to a barroom and get what he wants or send and get what he wants. I can answer to send if there is any crime to it. Mr. Woodburnite says that he knows that some Doctors have gone down to a drunkards hell. I would say to him he don't know any such thing. It seems to u.e that he bas set himself up as a Judge to pasf sentence. The scripture saya Judgr not lest you ba judged by the earn Judgement. It seems to me that he dodges the pointed question thtit I. asked him. I ask him again what he thinks of u man who does not practice whaL, hi preaches? I know that God warns his people from drunkardnebs, and suys no drunkard shall enter the kingdom of heayen. Man can be dmnk ou extreeme, and it seerrs to rne thai there's a greai many men now that are drunk on the Watt's Bill. Mr. Woodburn'te, I have beec signing my rame i4Seth", 1 will give you my right name, should see fit to this 1 hope you will give me ycur right name. 1 1 want to know who 1 am writing to. J. P. Long.

Dear Sir: Two .and'. two makes four not always; depends upon what "two and two" are. Two gallons of water and two gallons ot milk don't make four gallons of milk. Neither does four gallons of paint that's half lime, whiting,1 clay and kerosene oil, make four gallons of real paint. That's what we mean by saying ''Fewer gallons; wears longer." it takes fewer gallons of Devoe Lead and Zinc than of mixed paints to paint a house, and it wears twice or three times as long as lead and oil, mixed by hand. Piowse & Petton, Heridrner, N. Y-wiites: Mr. Chas. Avery, of Herkimer, bought 51 gallons of Devoe Lead and Zine to paint his five house, his painter having figured that it would require at least that amount; 36 gallons did the work and he re turned 15 gallons. Yours truly, F, W. Devoe New York P. S, Long, Woody & Co sells our paint. Morriah. Notes. So wet has it been that few of our ladies I think have made much head way'in garden and flower yards. Many of our best farmer seems to be in low spirits of a good crop this year. Our old friend who lived in Texas sometime ago, but now in this coun ty said while he was in Texas there was a down pour of rain simular to this and all hopes of a good crop was given up. I thought I would plant some cucumber seed, "I drop down some two or three seed and walked off a few steps and saw the ground bursting open and the seed was up and the vine wasrucing and grow ing very fast, so I thought I would run to the fence and go over, but T found my feet well tied with the vine. So I felt for myknike to clip the vine, I thrust my hand in my pocket to get my knife and palled out a great large fine cucumber. So there is hopes yet of a good crop.

Governor Aycock has sent out an appeal for contributions toward the $100,000 necessary to make a like amount from the State available, provided there is no shortage in the Treasury, for a State exhibit at the St. Louis, Exposition. North Caro lina should be creditable represented at St Louis, and it is to be regretted that the Legislature could not provide for an exnibit, but since it did not, the beet thing for the citizens to do is'help along with such sumts as they feel able to contribute.
