THI Philadelphia, Pa., Press looks on the action of Mayor Waaver of that eity, in reopen ing a contract that had beon awarded by the previous ad ninistration, as revolutionary, but,owing to the reason he gave: "that it had not been •warded to the lowest respon sible bidder," exlremely righ teous. W» hear ilia t amis-ionary in Raleigh has induced the merchants of that town to close tlieir stores at six o'clock from June Ist, in order to give the •larks time for recreation. We wish \vc had such a mis nonary litre. The clerks we know would appreciate such a move;and the merchants would gain by it, as the clerks would be in a better state of health aud, therefore, move capable of performing their duties to wards the public and their em ployers.

Such a char acter was gloriously exhibited in our Perfect Exemplar, tho Lord Jesus Christ, and should be exhibited by all who profess to be His people and His fol lowers. By His grace, and by that alone, can we have and manifest such a character. A high moral character is worth fur more to a young man or woman than money, education or health, and far more than all the degrees and diplomas awarded to them at this season by all the schools, colleges and universities in the world. High character, the work of the Di vine Spirit, is intrinsic and abiding—the sunshine of the heart and of the life; while these other possessions are in trinsic and transient—flickering and dying candle?, leaving their posessor in darkness during tho last and most solemn mo ments of his life. It is the evil tendency of this rapidly degen erating age to put intellect and money and office above char ter. Such a tendoocy is, not from God, but from Satan, the god of this world, the princo of darkness; and, unless it is di vinely checked, it will soon plunge the human race into irretrievable ruin—into the avenging fires of the final, eter nal, and righteous judgment of God. It is not the wise man but the fool, who says that there is no God and who lives a godless lite, and dies a god less death, and is tormented forever in the everlasting fire prepared for tlia.

Mecklenburg county, iti which Charlotte is the principal city, has long l>een held up as a model by advocates of road improvement. That county has for many years been laying excellent uiacadnin roads that the makers believe will last for generations. A recent report of Superinteu of Roads, S. T. Howe, shows that 118 miles of these macadam roads have l>een constructed and are now iu use. The saving to the farmer in transportation has been great, as he call send his produce to market ill any kind of weather, his teams dpw several times the loads they rould over the old dirt roads, and there are so few break downs that the cost of repairs has been greatly reduced. Farm prop ty along these roads l.as largely increased in value, and the farming sections are moie prosperous. The roads are made by convict labor, the county using the latest improved roadiuakitig machiuery— crushers and rollers. Rock found near the road is utilized,and trained mm superintend the work. Bonds wi re issued to pay for this work, and the cost has been con siderable, Lut that it is regarded as a paying investment is shown by the fact that preparations arc being made to macadamise more than 100 miles more, so that all the priueijwl io:.ds in the county may be joined in a complete system.

FiUi-J m —B. X BIGGS WASHINGTON LETTER. By CHARLES A. EDWARD 1. May 17, 190s. The country, generally, will be glad to hear that Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, is "a candi date" for the presidental nomi nation on the Democ atic ticket. Ihe mysticism surrounding the Judge, his identity and his set-ices arc likely to be oucceeded by a systematic effort to acquaint the country with all the features of the Judge's personality and policies that until now have been subjects of debate. Th» Judge, according to a New York politician with whom I had a long talk the other day., and who does not desire his name usrd in connection with this interview, has declared that he will accept the nomination if former Senator David B. Hill is found unavailable. This revelation was made not more than eight daya ago and my informant is not the only person to whom the ' tip" has been given by word of month. The Court of Appeals of the State of New York ia presided over by Judge, who, by the way, was elected because the Low fusion ticket declined to endorse Piatt's candidate for the Chief-Justiceship of the Court of Appeals. More than a hundred-thousand votes for Low were blank on the Judicial line. Thus, Judge Parker got a hand some plurality, not because of the votes he g t but because his op ponent did not receive wo.oco vates he ordinarily would have re ceived. The Judge was a minority candidate. But to return to the open candi dacy. Judge Tarker, who is a poll tican of a superior kind, wrote a litt'e note to a Democratic leader of an eastern county of New Ybrk State, whin that gentleman ap peared as a lawyer before the Court of Appeals. The note read sub stantia'ly as follows: "Do me the favor to stop in the anteroom ot the Court when we adjourn." The' leader acceded to the re quest. The Judge appeared, clad in his judicial robe. He doffed silken gown,hung it up in the ward robe, greeted t! c leader warmly, opened a box of cigars, and began the conversot.on n the jolliest and friendliest way possible. • What are they Saying about politics up yonr way ? " said the Judge. •« The lender, II .ttcred, exultant, jet surprise J, made conventional As a result of a protracted talk, Judge Parker eaid:. '"Yes, I notice 1 have been suggested for the prcsi dental nomination. But, of course, 1 could not think of accepting the nomination if it were at all possible for Senator 11 dl to g t it 1 Hill is a great man. lie tan handle the great public questions t> advan tage. Ihe presidency has been his life time's ambition. I could not think of stepping in to defeat that an.bition. I owe him my polit col existence." , ' But," continued the Judge, "bhculd it appear that Senator Hill cannot be nominated, I think 1 might, with propriety, take the "nomination." This explanation relieves (he situ ation. Former Senator Hill and Judge Parker are working hand in glove. Judge Parker will not step in lietwei n Hill and hi* life am hititcn, but if Hill cannot get it the Judge will take it. As the judge truly snys. there is no improptiety in this. The fact that the Ci iel Ju 'ge of the Court of Appeals* should, in the halls of the State's highest tribunal ta!k politics and his own ambitions, nv'ght cause «.ur|>ri.>e were it not known thai prior to his elevation to the judi tiaty lie vt one of Hill's shicwd est lieu enants. I am ii.founcd that fudge Tarkti lias hankly stated I.is desires to oil er new Yolk hadirs, and in the same way. lie has sent them notes by the court messenger, tailed about poitits in general, extolled 11 ill, » xplai. Ed he would 11 t interfere * lib Hill's amhiti.m, hut if Hill were unavailable then the Judge would take it. . '- ; /. • There is so much secrecy about the H»v*Migatiou of the l'ost Cilice: SC«I da's and MI -h AN air of mystery maintained by the department of fieals that the new spa erv and the: jiuli'ic are justified in believing that the looting and is even woise than it. really may l>c It iVlddtl'y is tre i tenticn of the l\>»tin&>lcr Geueral to suppress the news about the p oprts of the In vestigation as a move to abate the public interest and moderate (be consequence® to the a-lministration The"® it a gnawing feeling here that a corrupt department cannot thor oughly investigate itsetl. and that the whole thing will have to be in vestigated by the Congress. And who is there who believes that a Republican Congress will honestly investigate a Republican depart ment when every man hurt will be a Republican and the administra- tion hurt will be a Republican ad ministration. The only way to get at the bottom of these things is to elect a Democratic congress. It is up to the people. '' • • • The roasting that Governor Pen nypacker and the Quay machine is getting from the Republican and Democratic newspapers alike, proves to the Pennsylvania bosses that it is impossible to muzzle the independent press by any libel law their igenuity can invent or their partisan malice execute. * President Roosevelt is giving each one of tho me.nbers of his abinet a chance to show his prowess on the stump. The latest to be ordered to the front is Secre tary Wilson. So far he has not ordered Mr. Payne out. It might be rather embarrassing for Mr. Payne to explain the rottenness in his department • • • There are many politicians in Washington at present, and the so called "lowa idea" is discussed by them with much interest. The '■lowa idea" is that the way to curb some of the trusts is to re move the tariff schedules that shel ter them. The President and the standpatters h Id that war on trusts must not include any changes of tariff. The difference is radical. Hence, the interest in the coming lowa convention. It is understood that Governor Cummns, an en thusiastic boomer of the "lowa idea,' is to be re-nominated. This completes the situation. Will he take the nomination with a muzzle ? Will he consent to a straddle ? These ure some of the interesting ques tions that both Democrats and Republicans are ai'kitig here to-day. All is not lovely m the Republican camp. WANTED.

Last Monday when the freight train left Willianiston the Editor was among the passengers bound for Jamesville. He arrived iu due titr.e, but was too sick to really en joy the trip. We found Jnmesville to be a very quiet and inviting spot, but some how the quietness of the place did not relieve the racking headache from which he was suffering. Our fitst stop was at S L. Wal lace's store where we found our genial correspondent,W. W. Waters, who very kindly piloted us around and introduced us to the business men, this being our first visit to this town. The visit was enjoyed as well as could be under, the cir cumstances. Several new subscribers were added to the list and the trip was a financial success. The hospitality of the Kemp house was enjoyed for the night and we returned to Williainston on the passenger trail! Tuesday.
