FRIDAY JULY 14. 1905.
FARM HELP. ,
The reports received by the De
partment from more than seventy
counties indicate a scarcity of la
bor, and a desire to secure both
tenant and share settlers. In or
der to aid in supplying this need
the Board has authorized the IX
partment to undertake to secure
for those applying for them such
immigrants as are indicated above
and to that end blank* have beeu
prepared and will be forwarded to
those who may wish to engage
either labor, tenants or share-set
tlers.
It is time to prepare tor an
other year, and those inter
ested will therefore write the De
partment of Agriculture at Raleigh
after August 1, of -ihtt year, for
blanks on which to hnike formal
application for the person or |ier
sons needed-
It has also been arranged to list
in the Department such forests,
farms and mineral lauds as may lie
offered for sale; such lists to be
printed and sent out with the liter
ature of the Department. Blanks
for this purpose will also l>e sup
plied to all persons applying.

Would Good Roads Pay ?
[Communication. ]
Mr. Kditor : —The first question
asked by the average Antericati
(and it is a good question to ask J
with reference to any enterprise
he is about to invest is, "Will it
pay ?" It is needless to try to en
list the sympathies and support of
the people in any undertaking mi
till you cau show, with a reasonable
degree of certainty, that it will be
profitable. In fact, I would not
.advocate a jxilicy myself if I did
not fully believe that there would
be rich return from the outlay. It
will be my purpose in a series ol
articles on this subject to give some
reasons for my faith in the subject
of good roads. I am aware that
there would be no direct income to
me from good roads, but I know
that whatever helps the country in
general will eventually lie of bene
fit to all callings and professions.
The country is the backbone and
stay of the human family; then
what fool is there who does not
"Wish to see the country prost>er ?
It might throw some light upon
the good roads question to draw a
few contrasts. Suppose we do
awav with the roads altogether—
go back to colonial times when
men rolled their hogsheads of to
bacco to market fifty or seventy
five miles along Indian trails. You
immediately say that would b£ ab
surd. We must have roads to
market our crops and to travel
from place to place. Then how
good should we have them ? Should
they lie just good enough to make
otft with, or should they lie put in
the best condition possible ? Will
not the old adage, "Whatever is
worth doing at all is worth doing
well," applv to the roads question ?
Again, suppose we contrast our
road system with the railroads.
Why do they not make rough
tramways as timber men do ? It is
simply because it would not pay.
The same reason why railroads
well built and well cared for give
good returns will apply to the
building and repairing of the coun
ty roads. Both are permanent
means of travel. In each case
much more could be carried at one
load. Also there is much less lia
bility to accident. The wear of
the motive power and the vehicle
would be much less. Some might
raise the objection that the rail
roads have the money. But will
not those same persons admit that
the railroad men made their mouev
out of the roads. If they had not
borrowed money and built good
roads they would have lost money
instead of making. Likewise, if
we will build good roads it will be
one means of bringing prosperity
to the country. Just how this
will be helpful to the country we
will endeavor to show in a future
issue of THK ENTERPRISE.
In the next place let as contrast
the system of Martin county with
that bf some other counties. The
bare statement that the good roads
question has been satisfactorily set
tled in some counties in this State
will have little weight with the
majority of the citizens. They do
not like to risk the peoples' money
until they are convinced that they (
are doing the right thing. Let all
those who are desirous of having
information firSt-haud write to some
citizen of Mecklenburg county;
say the register of deeds, the post
master of Charlotte, or to any re
sponsible citizen. But the better
plan would be to get up an excur
sion of citizens, open to conviction,
and go in a body to see the roads
and learn for ourselves whether it
would be worth our while to put
our roads in good condition.
There cau be but one reason for
delay in so important a matter.
That reason is that the people have
time to decide the liest method of
doing the work, Let us liegin to
agitate this question and continue
the agitation until we have settled
UJKIU some plan to improve our
roads, thereby saving time and
money to our farmers, make the
county attractive, keeping many of
the best young men on the farms
and drawing uiauy desirable peo
ple from other more crowded sec
tions. The country is God's home
for raising up men. Let us do our
part to make it attractive.

OK Dollar Snid Rurutnts $lO Eintd
The average man does not save
to exceed ten per cent, of his earn
ings. He must spend nine dollars
in living expenses for every dollar
saved. That being the case he
canuot be too careful about un
necessary expenses. Very often a
few cents properly invested, like
buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
It is the same in buying Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. It costs but a few cents,
and a bottle of it in the house often
saves a doctor's bill of several dol
lars. , For sale by S. R. Biggs.
