And certainly no one could object to it after reading of the prospects oi two crops' a year as told by the Duplin Journal as follows : "A good many strawberry growers are expecting to make another crop this summer. The plants in some of the farms are white with blooms and there are already a good many young berries. Mr. I. R. Faison is among those who will hope for a full crop by this second edition." . . i .- t The Roxboro Courier thinks that graded schools are great helpers for general education. It believes all need education, and discusses it as fol lows : "The best day s work Roxboro ever did was when i t established a graded cchool, and the . next bant was when it adoDted the graded school measure at our- recent v - - election. At this day no town can bope to keep pace with even .material progress it it does not look well to the educational question; There was a time when it was thought that if one of the boys was educated he must of necessity be either a lawyer, preacher or a doctor ; otherwise there was no need for education. Bat that day hasnsaed, and if you wish or expect your boy to measure up or have an equal show for success then he must be educated.. This truth is equally true whether be wants to tea' profession al man, a farmer, or a mechanic In fact we believe that it Is more im perative if he expects to be a mechantd than if a professional man for there are more young brains to-day in the mechanical world than in the profea sional. 'Some may doubt this statement but we believe it is true." It seems to be pretty well established, according to the authority of the scientists, that only those who are bitten by mosquitoes have malaria. In- , AmaA t.ha sniAnMafji mnlrA annli (lAnlnratirtn rmdt. lIosqultcosandHalaria. Tw. heinar ih it wonid be iM to exterminate the mosquitoes. At first thought this seems impossible and the idea entirely Impracticable ; bet there is more possibility, perhaps, of destroyinmoiitoes than one would suppose. It is said that petroleum sprinkled over marshes and swamps and in ditches where water stands wfll' prevent the development ot mosquitoes. Every pool of water, broken jar, tin can or any other vessel that will hold water about the premises should haye attention. In many places the health authorities of the towns are taking the matter in hand, and there would seem little reason why almost every town and village should not do it. Many will say that all this talk about mosquitoes carrying malaria id like some fine-spun theory that the ordinary mind can not grasp, and so means nothing. Suppose that any mind can not grasp a scientific truth ? That does not annihilate the truth at all. 1 Much has been said verbally and in the public prints in North Carolina of late concerning good roads. Mecklenburg county for years has been re- , . . garded as the model "county in the State in. the MeCKientrarfi aoaOS. maLlter 0 road making. Charlotte is the centre ot the county's commercial interest?, and quite naturally the efforts tor good roads have been fiom Charlotte towards the outer points of the coun ty. Of the public roads leading out from Charlotte one hundred and eigh teen miles have already been macadamized and preparations are being made to macadamize a hundjed miles more. The results are pleasing indeed, and no one enjoys a greater advantage from the improved condition of the roads than the farmer. By reason of good roads the farmer is able to haul his produce to market about as well in one kind of weather cs another, and at much less wear and tear on his team ; and the same team is able to draw almost twice as much over the good roads as they could oyer mnddy and poorly graded roads. Nothing pays a community better than good roads. Guilford county thinks that good roads are desirable. That county has re cently voted for bonds to the amount.of $300,000 with which to make good roads. In the years to come the good roads in Guilford will be a blessing, and will greatly aid agriculture. DANGERS 0? UNWASHED FRUIT. CIAUDE KITCHIS. A. P. KITCHIN. KITCHIN & KITCHIN, ATTORNEYS-AT-LAW.

'Bw evenings ago. There were three of the pidn t Know It They were aboat 15 17 and lg yearg old respectively. Their home is In Savannah, Ga., and they were going from Norfolk to see their parents. One of them had fifteen days to stay home and the other two had ten days. The difference in the time was because , of special good behavior of one. They talked freely of their experience in tbe navy. They had been out only eight months and were glad enough to get a few days at home. We were crazy to see the world," said one of the boys, "and we have seen enough already, but we baye to stay until we are twenty-one years old. We had good homes but did not know it." One of the boys will have to remain six years longer and the other two about three years. Their experience is not unlike that of many other boys who get crazy to see the world. They have good homes but do not know It. But in those boys who had had enough touch with the world already to toughen them up, could be Men the effect of good home influences. And so it ever is, for the most part. Good home training and wholesome home influences give a touch of kindliness and culture that nothing else can. It would be fax better for all if more'boys had enough ot these good home Influences and could appreciate them without having to wade through bitter experi ences tn order to realizerhat a good home is and wShit Jaw Iter Meesings. One thing about these three sailor boys was remarkable, and that was their UUllons of Diseaca Qau Cluster on Sman Bunches, NewlYork Press. -j On that bunch of cherries you buy from the Italian on tbe street corner and eat with so muoh relish are clus tered four or five millions of dangerous disease germs. Exceedingly minute they are, and the flavor of the fruit is in no way impaired by their presence, but there they are all the same mi crococci, bacilli, sprilla whole fami lies of them'-i-v- When we eat an trawaaned pear about 200,000 bacteria are carried into the system, twice that .number on handful of garden rawberries, and still more on raspberries, grapes and currants. The most Infested fruits are cherries, with I2,000,000tbacteria to the half pound ; currants with 11,000,000 and grapes with 8,000.000. A man will readily consume a ha if pound of grapes at a sitting, and if tbe state of his his health leaves him open to the attacks of disease, it can be appreciated what a tremendous risk he rons of poisonous 'infection by the germs. t Not many weeks ago inquiry- wan made into the state of fhe surface air in this oity. The air to several feel above the ground was found to be liter ally swarming with bacteria. Now ji is ! a matter of ; everyday observation that the fruits exposed for Bale on tbe sidewalks and curbs ot. New York are olacM at no great , distance from the pavement. . In many Instances they are so near the ground as to be in tbe very center of the germ-bearing strata of air. The inference is obviovs. Ye in spite of these tacts, 'not one in hundred wfeo hastily buys an apple or a banana on the corner gives the mat ter of bacteria the slightest thought, and not one in a thousand goes the length of taking the . sanitary precau tion of waehing the fruit.

We do not think history would adjudge Napoleon altogether selfish in this en terprise. It is true, be wanted good roads over wbieb to transport his armies, and yet we think he was wise enough and loved bis eountry to tbe extent that he could see the value of these highways after the battles should have been fought. a.;-r v.-:-A 1 !
