Sixty Snlworileri-Tlp Bnles--Reichei to the 4'ily Suburbs A few more names have been added to (he list of subscribers to the telephone service, increasing the total number to sixty. About time-fourth of the houses taking the service so far ate business places. The construction of the system is going forward w ith all dispatch possible under the charge of Mr. H. Hawkins of Fayette ville. It will reach even to tho city limits. Moody's mill, the wattr works, H. S. Huion's residence and Wm. Dunn's farm, ate among those that will use it. The rates established are thirty dollars per annum for business places and fnteen dollars for residences. The payments will be collccud quarterly. It is earnestly desired to secure all the names poss'ib'e at once, so that all can be included iu the line us first run. The rales are lower than nmst towns have and while the list seems p-etly lair for a first start, we hope to se other names spiedily added. It would not take many walks of a servant, employee, or ofa housekeeper or business man himself iu a month's time to morn than offset the small rental that ischaig. d. Time is valuable and a good le'i-phonc service is a an admirable time saver. The system is expeeUd to be in oiera tion about the first of October.

"Could it be accurately calculated, the I loss sustained by farmers in being obliged to urge their horses with heavy loads ovrr poor ronds, would be something enor mous. Good roads make good markeis and it frequently happens that poor roads practically eat up the profit of certain markets. A.s has been many times demonstrated. the construction of good roads will ma terially increase the value of farms and country property, and acts as a stimulus and attraction for immigration. "The tlrst cost for constiuction of good roads is apt, like all other good things, to be high but there is no municipil or county investment which will make as good return f ir money expended. Con vict labor could be utilized to advantage and a large expense taken from tho State. Tramps could be forced into service and made to earn an honest living for a lew weeks, at lea?t. 'In the campaign for good roads, the efforts of the bicycle organizations throughout the country deserve much credit.

It contains good sound, hard, common-sense. If any one wants an illustration of the way a good road attracts travel and a bad one repels it, he has but to notice the pleas ure drives taken by our citizens. One of the favorite drives at any time is the one by the tnacailami.; I road out to Messrs. Hackhuru & Willett's Oiks Farm. About the time the volunteer work on N uise road was per'ormod the farm would gen erallyjlie reached by one of the roads ami the return made by the other, but. at that time the work upon Xeuse -road was not finished while the latter built by Messrs Ilackburn & Willett was. The result is, onejis a good road today while tho other is again geltin; bad to travel over, es pecially durug rainy spells. The conse quence is the good road is generally used both in goim; and coming-. UnUss the giading and draining work that has been done on Keuse road is fol lowed up quickly by proper macndainiz ing, what has already be' n accomplished will largely be lost. There has been too much delay already. The fact that t he portion of Xeuse road beyond the A & N O 11 R. though far from being up to what we would like to see ir, is nevertheless fairly good as compared with the natural condition of the part upon which con templated improvements have been half made, should be an additional incentive fjr its completion. Awake on the subject and proceed. lii:ll.E PROFIT IX UOOD ROADS. They Save Time and Team. Make a Neifrhborlioml More Desirable to Live In unit Increase tbe Talne of Property. Feople, as a rule, but little realize how much is lost, not only in pleasure but in profit, by bad roads. Before Messrs. Hackburn & Willett macadamized their road, from six to eight hundred pounds would have been a good load per horse. Xow Irom fourteen hundred pounds to a ton can be as easily taken. This saves at h ast one driver, one cart and one horse. And when the wages of the man, the keeping of the horse and the wear of the vehicles is counted, how long would it tiike a mau who is using a public road to get back the portion of expenditure that falls to his share in getting it iu prime condition and maintaining it so? It can le borne iu miud that once having been put in first class order the after expense will be comparatively light. Again, roads should be kept in uniform first class condition throughout their length. As the weakest place in a chain is the correct lest of its strength, even So the worst place in a road is the correct standard of its condition, If a road is twenty mihs long and two miles of it is in such condition that only half a load can be hauled over that portion, that hall load is all that can be carried in making the journey of the road's lengths, no mat ter how good the rest ol the way raav he. Good bard, well-drained roads should urii'i i: (.uiiiuui iu iipuii nw ua.v ... j old sanJv, uneven, holev and ridgey high-1 wavs that are seen to too large au extent iu almost eve l'V 0Ction. If people would but stop and calculate and consider the worry and li s-i and cost had rciul- are to them, and what a pleas ure as well as saving good road- would be. a road tax would bo one ot the taxes they would pay most cheerfully. It is a patent fact," says the New York World "that the Cubans are in every sense belligerents, making the same struggle for f reedom and independeiK o that Americans made in 177C." If this is ttue, w hy should Americans be arrested for trying to assist them ! There are many lure in Xorth Carolina who would be glad to help the Cuban iusurgeuts if they could be recognized as belligerents. Xews & Observer.

Some ot lip Tilings lor Whiili it I'ro videmA Vfrj-t'nrioiiN Feature oi'tlie Elerliou on it. On Tuesday, November 5th. th.; first Tuesday in the month, the voters of Cra ven county are to have an opportunity of saying wheller they will continue the present system of working the toads by the labor of those living alo.ig them, or whether they wll change the system so that hercalter there slia.l lie a tax levied of not over 45 cents on the poll and not over 15 cents on Hie one hundred dollars worth of taxable property to be ap plied to keeping up the roads. We are, glad to see that the law if canied provides also for working convicts on the mads. If a given amount is taken and applied to the support and guarding ofa loice of convicts while they are at work more be expected to be accomplished with a given amount of money than if expended on the road in any other w ay. The act providing for this election was originally dratted to apply only to Jones. Hyde, Wake, Polk and Pamlico counties. It was afterwards made to apply to i Craven by a section a ided at the end j of it. " j A very curious provision of the portion j relating to Craven county is that the peo-1 pie of Xew Heine are to be allowed to' vote m the election and yet they ate not ' to pay any portion of the tax either or, f poll or property. It givrsthem the right to vote a tax on others which they them-1 selves do not have to shoulder. This is 1 uottaxition without representation, but! a reversal of it ; it is ie;iesci,talion with-I out taxation ! It docs not seem to be a j fair tiling to do, but that is the way tho! legislature tixed it. The reasons given for exempting t lie city from taxes is that those living in town are taxed to keep up twenty two miles of streets and that is road tax enough for theui and the reason rendered fur allowing them to vote is, that many of the people living in the city own country properly aud consequently are (liivetly interested in every question pertaining to it.

Oh, it was a dream I had While the musician played And here the sky and here the glad Old ocean kissed the glade. And here the laughing ripples ran, And here the roses grew That threw a kiss to every mau That voyaged w ith the crew. Our silken sails in lazy folds Drooped in the breathless breeze, As o'er a field of marigolds Our eyes swam o'er the seas. While here lh eddies lisped and purled Around the island's rim, And up from out the underwold We saw the mermen swim. i And it was dawn and middle day And midnight lor the my mi On silver rounds across the bay Had climbed the skies of June, And here the glowing, rhuions king Of day ruled o'er the realm. With stars of midnight littermi; About his diadem. The seagull reeled on hu did wing In circles round the inasi; We heard the songs the sirens sing As we went nailing past, Aud up and down tbe g"lden s.ihds A thousand fairy Huongs Flung at us Irom their Hashing hands The echoes of their songs.
