It has become a habit with North Carolina to build good roads. In some counties it is also a habit to neglect these roads when built. In the majority of counties it is further more customary to present the fin ished road to the traveling public, allowing it' to find its way as best it can without the friendly aid of the guide post. We believe the Atlanta Washington high way is the only road in the State properly marked. On the recent trip to Catawba, the Meck lenburg motorists found one cross roads marked with a pencil-scratched , board, and it was set in such a man ner that it gave no indication as tc . which road to take. The Cleveland Star is calling attention to the need of sign boards on the Charlotte Asheville highway, especially betwec Charlotte and Mooresboro. The sign , board law seldom enters into the cal I emulations of the road builders. The engineer leaves it to the supervising . constructor, who in turn leaves it te the road hands, these leaving it to no . body in particular and to everybody ii; general. The average road builder ir North Carolina thinks his work done when the road is completed. The re , pair authorities, where such may ex ist, see no duty created for them, anc there is little wonder that the guide post should be completely lost in the , shuffle. No German Monopoly. From some German comments one would get the impression that the submarine is a German inventior and a German monopoly. To the in venting of it America contributed as much as any country, and the bat tle of Riga shows that in the use of it there i$ no monopoly.—Spring field Republican.

Easom marched his Infant class to the East end of the table, then up the North side. At the tap ol the bell all was ready and Rev. .1. K. Hartley returned thanks.

There was not a single jar in the work of the day. It was a day en joyed by all. We then parted to meet with Pau line in a Vocal Union on the fifth Sun day in October.

D„ Sept. 1. Manufactured ice in the United States has an annaul value of $50 - 000,000. New halibut grounds have been dis covered near North Head, Wash. At the Knocker’s FuneraL Once there lived a man whose heart , had turned to gall and whose soul had soured, says the Fountain Inn i Tribune. He nursed a perpetual grouch and envy was his constant I companion. He saw no good in any thing, opposed everything as a mat I ter of habit knocked the world and all that therein dwells. If a preacher came to town, he in timated that the good man was prob ably not above taking a little dram, for he had heard—Oh, he had always heard something. If a young couple married, he ex pressed sympathy for the groom be cause he “had heard something” about the bride, and pities the bride because he had reason to believe that the groom was heavily in debt and too lazy to work. He knocked the ball players for feeling good when they won, and call ed them boneheads when they lost. He knocked everything—good and bad—knocked bitterly, hatefully spitefully. He was a pestilence, a scourge, a fester. And at last his sour soul tore it self loose from his disgusted body, and his neighbors—he had no friends —arranged for his funeral. Crowds came. Everybody wanted to hear what the preacher would, say. The good man read a few verses, and then began: “Our dearly beloved brother is knocking at the gates of heaven.” A deacon arose from the amen cor ner and cried: “I don’t know wheth er he’s at the gates of heaven, but wherever he is, I’ll guarantee he’s knocking.” The preacher looked startled; coughed, and stepped down from the rostrum. “I thank you for the interruption,” said he, “I was about to be a hypo crit.” “Our brother has departed this life,” he resumed. “He has gone away. We shall see him no more. Let the congregation rise and join in singing ‘Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow.’ ” A Dry Witness. Two men had been arrested in a dry town for drinking, and the pros ecuting witness was on the stand, re lates Judge. “You say,'' said the attorney for the defense, “that you saw the men in the field drinking?” “Yes, sir, I did.” “Was the field fenced?” “Yes, sir.” ? “Where were you?” “On the far side of the fence.” “Was there a board off that you I could see through?” . “No, sir.” “Was there a knothole in the ' fence ?” “No, sir.” The attorney braced himself for the crushing question that he had ready to launch at the victim whom he thought he had so adroitly corner ed. “Now,” he said, banging the table,, “will you tell the court how you could see two men drinking in a field j surrounded by a fence with no boards i off and never a knothole in it?” “Yes, sir,” said the witness. “Well, tell it,” commanded the, attorney impatiently. “It was a barbed-wire fence.
