Q THE MARTIN DRUG COMPAIMY PHONE 81. the men on deck are very jolite; all are ready to get rugs, or tea, or move steamer chairs. It is when a storm comes up and the ship gets ready to sink that you find out what kind of men they were that walked up ahd down so mditely. It is the same hing in life. Vou know only in stormy times what a man is: the man knows himself oijly in a stormy day. When a man shows cowardice, the spirit of "the quitter" under trviiiLf circumstances, no man is more surprised than he is. All of the men now living prol nhlv Udieve that they would lie rvad to lead a forlorn hoe to save the countrj. Many would lie surprised to learn how they might feel about it if they had een out in the wet in a tent for a few days with plenty of mosquitoes and not enough food. A few knockings over would teach them a great ileal. The world is made of a great many men that have been knocked down, ami a great many others that are going to be knocked down sooner or later, ami a very few they hardly count that are stand ing up and are going to keep standing up until the end. If you haven't had your knock down blow, you may le quite sure that it is coming. And you needn't regret it when you get it, if it brings out the right quality in you ami gives you confidence in yourself. Jockycs that ride in steeplechases are all verj' brave at the start. After they fall j-ou know more about them. The wrong kind of jockey gets a fall, and when he comes to his senses his nerve is gone ami his riding days are over. The right kind, when he wakes up from unconsciousness, says:i "How did it happen? Did I break anything? Is that all the fall amounts to? Well, its noth inr. That kind of rider is the right kind.

Passions are easily quickened between classes and faction in a popular uprising. . It is necessary for the publicist himself to arouse feelings of protest and of indignation among the ieo ple and these feelings when aroused too often inspire in human nature,, which is about the same the world over, a disposition to punish opposing classes as well as to establish their own right. It is too often true that out of great reform movements there develops a spirit of retaliation which is sometimes prejudical to justice. Here, if anywhere, the man of conscience in public affairs should not be tempted to ride too joyously with the triumphant tide of re formers, but should stand without hesitation with a restraining hand I and a warning voice against action or legislation that even smacks of punishment or persecution.

Martin Drag Company. He Was Ready to Fight. (New York American.) At the height of the recent war fare between the Southern Kail way and the State of North Caro lina, Governor 11. R Glenn one day had a caller, who edged into the Executive Chamber at Kaleigh and tossed a weather beaten felt hat on a chair. He was a mountaineer, long, lxny,' muscular, with a black beard covering his face. He was lerhaps sixty years old. "Well, what can I do for you?" asked Governor Glenn. "Governor," was the reply, straight from the shoulder, "we all hearn up in the mountain that you had dug o' out Union ftgin, ris up the old nag and was going to fight her out, and I'm here to list for the fracas.' The report of the struggle be tween the Federal judiciary and the State courts, that new species of State rights, had reached the mountain fastnesses of the State in the shape of a report that North Carolina had seceded under Glenn, and was at war with the Union. The mountaineer If ad .walked twenty miles down from the hills to get into the fray. "My friend," explained the Gov- 4 I 1 . ernor, you nave oeen misinrorm ed. There , is no war. In fact, we were never more in the Union than we are right now, and we are going to stay. That is all over. Our fight is now in the courts. Go home and don't be alarmed. North Carolina will take care of herself without leaving the Union." Just as you say,Gov'nor," said the mountaineer. But I'm here to say that I fit in 'CI, and I'm ready again as soon as the ole North State calls." Mo More Deadlocks. (Chicago News.)

Jailer Hanner will carry Westmoreland to Haleigh Friday and turn him over to the ienitentiary author ities. Westmoreland is about 50 years old.

He came to Winston-Salem eight or ten years ago and has resided here continuously ever since. He has a wife and several children. Westmoreland has been work ing at the carpenter's trade since coming to Winston-Salem, and has paid for his own home and made a useful citizen. West moreland thinks that he will lx able to escape by pleading the statute of limitation. He asked Jailer Hanner to wait until Friday to carry him to Haleigh in order that he might have time to con fer with counsel. Mr. Hanner will comply with the request. Well, That's All Right. (Kvery thing) Some of the papers are throw ing conniption fits because it is announced that Stanford White's widow is alx)ut to marry tlie for mer partner of the late husband. We fail to see why there should be any wails over this. Mrs. White, as we understand the case, walked alone for many years. She never had her husband's love, although she was an earth angel. Now that he is under the ground, and now that a gentleman wants to marr.v her, why not let the ceremony proceed without any brass band interjection or objection. Surely she has a right to love and if White was the kind of a man it seemed he was when the roof garden was ablaze with his splendid glories, why not let the widow of the fiend have something out of life that her heart craves.

A Way to Get Good Roads. t Washington l'oft,) The conservative old State of Pennsylvania has taken a stand on the subject of road improvement that is likely to cause a shaking of dry liones in other States. Under the instruction of one of the ablest judges in the state, the grand jury of Venango County ha.s indicted twenty-four township road super visors, charged with criminal neg lect of duty ju failing to keep their roads in repair. The indicted men are lieing apprehended anil will soon be placed on trial. The action of the grand jury is understood to Ih based largely upon a decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme Omit, which holds that"road supervisors are punishable by indictment for neglecting or refusing bo open or repair a public highway." ; While this prosecution of road officers is novel, and, erhaps, un precedented, a little consideration shows that itis entirely reasonable. These men are public, : officers. charged with certain "imjiortant luties. They have taken an oath to perform their duties; properly,. ' and in many States they are paid a salary as well as their actual trav eling exienses. Often they are. lermitted to, control the, disburse ment of large sums of money. Jf this money disappears 'without any evidence of road improvement or if the road supervisors are notorious neglectful of. their duties it is the "duty of the grand jury to indict them. The mere? fact ,'hat this course has never lieen follow ed Ufore is no reason why, with the.awakened public feeling against ollicial misconduct, it should not le followed now. The public highways' of the United States in the' rural districts rank with the worst roads. in the' explored world! They are, worse than those of of any other civilized nation. During recent j years ef forts have leen made to improve them, but the indifference and par simony of the backwoods commun ities are appalling oljistacles to progress. Nevertheless,, progress must le made, if the county is to develop its resources td the lst advantage. The roads; must le improved in spite of sloth and ignorance. The Pennsylvania . method of getting after; roa(' pervisors with the sharp stick of the law will be watched with keen interest in other States where the the leaven of discontent is working.. If, the Pennsylvania road suicr visors go jail for neglecting roads, it will le well for road suiervisors in other States to take warning. The action of the Pennsylvania grand jury, in any event, cannot fail to le of benefit in j reminding the public that it has the remedy for neglected roads in its own hands. If there is no law provid for the punishment of road sujer visors who swindle the public, that employs them, such a law can U enacted. J HOW ABOUT THAT lMKCKjOK ISTCE PJRIiVTING?
