NOVEMBER 4th.
' The election which occurs!
On November 4th. is an im
portant one to every citizen of
North Carolina. Registration
cloned on the 25th instant.
Many voters seem to be in a
quiescent mood —are too well
satisfied, we fear, for the good
of the government and them
selves. The campaign, while
vory little opposition exists, is
being waged with true spirit
"and ohl lime enthusiasm
throughout the State. The or
ganization is perfect and splen

every available spot. Rut there

REGARDING GOOD ROADS.
The good roads movement
has taken definite shape in:
North Carolina. J. A. Holmes,
of Chipel Hill, Stale G*»lopiii'.
is pushing the crusade. Weekly
ballet ins find ilieir way info thp
newspaper offices and the
whole Plata is b»i»g aroused.
It is h»gu time for something
to be done for no State, per
haps, in the union *3 more be
hind than North Carolina iu
this matter. The eastern sec*
able roads and bridge* the peo
ple are dragging along and
seem content to drag. Coming
closer home, to oar own coun
ty. we find a deplorable condi
tion existing. A ride oner our
public roads will convince the
mott casual observer of the im
portance of immediate action
in this matter. The towns in
the count j should Join the cru
sade against mud and aaad.
Williamston being the chief
town in Martin, more up-to
date and the wealthiest, should
take the initiative step by im
proving the streets. The in
crease of traffic along the prin
cipal thotoughfare* renders im
provements more necessary.
The Board of Aldermen has
done many things, but along
certain lines are not progres
sive enough, or are afraid to
venture.
Let the citizens of Williams
ton begin the crusade and oth
ers will be compelled to see the
good results, and the county
will take the matter under se
rious consideration. We shall
talk good roads until soma one
starts the movement. Will not
a number of our progressive
men set the ball rolling in town
or country? The proper way
to begin is to call a convention.
Let us have one.

EDUCATION FOR FAR.IERS.
CIBCTLU OF INFORMATION FREE.
Every young *' farmer in North
Carolina has an opportunity to get
the foundation training in his work.
The winter courses in Agriculture
and Dairying at the N. C. A. &. 11.
College are practical courses de
signed entirely for young men and
women who can leave the farm on
ly during the winter time.
The cost of the whole course is
but thirty dollars w bich include*
board, room and books. The lec
tures and practical work are devot
ed to stuck raising, dairy fanning,
butter making, milk testing, feed
ing and breeding farm animals vet
erinary medicine, antomology, soil
.study, stock judging and farm
crops.
>f The value of these courses to a
young man or woman who is inter
ested in agriculture cannot be esti
mated in words. The expense of I
attending will be paid by increased j
profits due to better farming, a
hundred times. Resides the finan
cial value of the courses there fa
the educational value of training
and education that makes the maa
the master of his work.
A circular of information will be
sent to any one asking for the sums.
Also any information regarding
any of the agricultural courses will
be given by addressing the profes
sor of agriculture, Charles W.

MR. EDITOR:—I have read with
much interest the articles concern
ing good roads recently published
in THK EMTRantisa. It must be
gratifying to piugiuaiiT apiiilul
people that it fa BO longer necessary
•to discuss the advantages of good
I roads, but that the stage has been
; reached where we can discuss the
best means of getting them. You
have taken the right stand and it is
jto be hoped that your pen will not
rest ere your advocacy has shown
material effect. There is nothing
that will come nearer giving the
people perpetual prosperity and
happiness so far as government fa
concerned as good roads.
Martin county roads are not bad
m a wall d aatnnJ oaadWous
hot bkxv Mi malt of oar system
of improvement —hence the task of
Betting better roods wil not be a
burdensome ooe. We have no rock
to msendaurize with, yet we
to blast oat of a road
way, bat have in the greatest
abundance material far making a
day-sand or burnt day cover.
The wockof improvetaeat hour
straigb teniag/pradiog, and drain
ing, bjr so sheening the surface as
to |nwst Water powdtng w aad
being absorbed by the road-bed.
We have an nnQplf of this kind
in Edgecombe county.
It has been my good fortune to
drive over auqr of the roads of Un
ion cooaty where far tea months of
the year they s»e not candled by the
famous Mecklenburg roads. This
win explain my attempt to write
on this subject. The good rands
of Union coonty are the result of a
system, and that would be equally
as beneficial for Martin.
The roads of Union coaoty are
worked with convict labor—the ex
penses being met by n "road tax"
of 15 cents on the bundled dollars,
and 45 cents on the pole. A tax
to keep jail-birds employed is in
creasing the value of property aad
resnoving the bnne of aO material
and sociological progress, while
suffering real pi nnhmaat instend
of concocting farther criminal pur
suits st the public bonding house,
"An idle braia is the devil's work
shop." Instead of the judge's
sentence of 60 days ia jail it's 60
dayi on the rands, instead of fine
years in the State penitentiary,
where they make peaauts enough
every year to affect the price several
cents ia the bushel, h is five yean
on the county roads.
By employing coavicts tbe labor
for the work b reliable and can be
used just when and where it la ne
cessary, not having to take farm
labor and depend oa the whims of
any class. Where is there to be
found a more effective object lesson
in morality than c otitic Is in stripes
tugging with shovel and wheel
barrows and a man with a gun
standing over them? This is no
small consideration.
There will be opposition to any
system that increases tax —prefer-
ring mnd and sand tax; but the
man who pays the most tax gets
proportionally a greater benefit.
