I Advantages of Good Roads. ft There was an article in the last week'sENTKKPiSK, stating the fact, twenty good toad buildere, with terms from six months to three years, have been carried to other counties to do work on the roads since the first of January. The writer of this article continued by saying: "it seems reasonable to tie to say that if it pays these coun ties to get all the convicts they can for road work, at the high price of sao and all expenses including rail road fare for each man, it might pay us to keep them when it costs us nothing." There is no doubt about it being the proper and best thing to keep these prisoners and work them on on the Martin county roads, and although every one knows there must necessarily be some expense to feed, lodge and guard these prisoners; to buy and keep the mules, carts and other necessary utensils, it would be a profiitable investment for the county and would necessitate but a small in increase in the taxes per tax payer. show the advantage to be gain ed by an increase tax for the pur pose of better roads, we will look at the subject from .a technical point" of~view. let'sjglance at what is call ed by engineers, resistance to trac tion. This may lie divided as fol lows: First, axle friction,which is the resistance due to the fiction be tween the axle and hub of wheel. This resistance is dne to the weight of vehicle and load upon it, there fore the condition of the road does not affect it. Secoud, is rolling re sistance, which is of two kinds: that due to irreuglarities in thesur face of the road, and that of a wheel to rolling up a smooth sur face, sometimes called rolling fric *ti4>. •» Rolling friction is due to the compressibility of the road, which permits the wheel to indent itself into the road surface. The whet I Is thus forcing a wave of -urfac before it, or climbiug an inclina tion caused by its weight u,x>n Un loose surface of the road. This rollingifrictiou is the greatest re sistance met with in sandy roads like ours. The resistance due lo ine«|"i»litie of the road surface such as holes, washouts and etc., become an im portant factor in wet weather. It is equal to the horizontal force at the axle, necessary to raise the weight upon the wheels, vertical ly through the height of the road surface above bottom of hole. The resistance due to these friction} have been found by many experi ments in various parts of the Unit ed States, and are supposed to bt as follows: KIND OF ROAD. Earth—ordinary—sand like ours. " dry and hard-clay and sand likejjours. Macadem —good. " ordinary. ~ " . poor. Granite-block pavement-best. " " " ordinary. Asphalt pavement. RRSISTANCH I.BS. PRR TON CARRIKI 135 to 160 60 to 100 40 to 60 60 to 90 90 to 140 as to 50 , ' 50 to 80 15 to 20 These figures show the advanta get of good hard roods as compar ed to poor, oocs, but there is on other important factor to be con fidered, that is, grade resistance. Grade resistance is equal to the load carried multiplied by the line of the angle made bv the grade with the horizontal, which is the same amount of work as if the ! ad was carried along a level road the length of the hill, and then raised vertically up to the hill top. Grade like all other resistances to traffic cannot be annihilated, but as the other, it can be greatly re duced. A few examples will now show the advantage of good roads. Suppose we load a two horse wagon with a three ton load (6,- 000 lbs.), and start off over a good clay and sand road. Then the force exerted by the team will be eqnal to the load carried multiplied by the tractive resistance, which in this case 3 x 86 - 240 lbs. (taking 80 as a mean between 60 and 100). That is, a force of 340 lbs. is required as aj constant pull to carry 6,000 lbs. over a clay and sand road. Now suppose the road to be ordinary sand. Taking the mean between 135 and 160 as 142 we have 3 k 142 -426 lbs., steady pull to carry the same load over a bad road, that was carried over the good one by a constant pull of 240 lbs. Again, suppose the load is to be carried over a hill, graded to six feet in each hundred. Then the resistance due to grade of six feet rise in every one hun dred horizontal, would be 6,000 x six one hundred equaled to 360 lbs. additional pull up hill. Therefore the pull up a 6 per cent grade on a good road equals 3 x 80 plus 6,- 000 six one hundred equals 240 plus 360 - 600 lbs. constant pull up hill and 3 x 142 plus 6,000 x six one hundred equals 326 plus 360 - 786 lbs. constant pull up hill 011 bad road. If the grade is chang- Ed from 6 per cent to 8 per cent we would have an increase from 600 and 786 to 720 and 906 respectively while a reduction from 6 per cent to 4 i>er cent would reduce the re- sistance from 600 anil 786 to 470 to 666 respectively Thus one can readily see the ad vantage of good roads in both sav ing work 4ml allowing an increase load, as well as allowing more rapid transportation. These are the reasons Mecklenburg and other western and central counties have, and is why Martin county should, adopt these good roads, if your time and team are worth any thing why not adopt this improvement which saves both, JAS. K. Moork, Raleigh, N. C. A Wonderful Saving. The largest Methodist Church in Georgia, used 20 gallons of 1,. & M. mixed with 24 gallons of oil, thus making paint cost al>outsi.2o per gallon.

Under Which King Apparently hereafter life insur ance is to be solicited along polit ical lines, and each company must choose whether to become known as a Republican or democratic con cern. Then, when a man changes his politics, he must change insur ance companies if he would not be kept under forced contributions to help his former party. —Springfield Republican. No Trouble for Good Company to do Business. Could Southern Capitalists have known all along what a load of graft the big insurance companies were crrrying, they would have got into the insurance business sooner than they did. It is no trouble for a clean, honest company to compete with concerns that are neither scrupulous nor economical in their experiments. It gets worse and worse. The New York Sun of Tuesday, says "it will probably lie disclosed" in the course of the investigation that the Equitable and Mutual each contributed the same amount that the New York Life did to the Republican campain fund last year and, "it may even be ascertained that further sums were given by direction of Udwurd H. Harriman and that these fell into the hands of Odell." These great insurance companies certainly furnished rich milking for the Republicans in the last campaign. Love at First Sight. "Love at first sightV' That's what it's called when two strangers meet, one a young man and the other a young ladv, and they go and get married to each other before they get out of the notion. Such giddy headed performances are sometimes refet ed to as "romantic marriages."

Both of them should have guardians appointed as a means of self protection.— Marshvilte Home. Cotton. Several of the papers have print ed a statement by Mr. George How ell, a cotton man at Charlotte to the effect that the farmers could sell cotton at 25 cents by judicious marketing of the crop. Fearing that he may be misunderstood, Mr. Howell thus explains his statement in the Charlotte Observer: "I merely used those figures to express my belief that the fanner is going to secure a good price for the season's crop. In order that he may reiterate his position, Mr. Howell has re quested that the following be pub lished as defiuiuM his views on the great cotton situation; "I believe that the crop is short, much more sore than the majority of people think. I sincerely hope that when the awakes to a relication of its shortness, it will not resuit in the in the wild speculation which will raise values to abnormal figures, a state of affairs injurious to the far mer as well as to the manufacturer.

In the year 1818 Henry Bradshaw Pearson, aa Englishman, dined with John Adams, second president of the United States, at the Boston home of the fine old states man, then • years old. The Bunday dinner was as fol lows: "First course, a pudding made of ladlsn corn, molasses and hatter-, second, veal, bacon, neck of mutton, potatoes, cabbages. carrots and In dian beans, Madeira wine, of which each drank two glasses. We sat down to dinner at 1 o'clock: at S nearly all went a second time to church. For tea we had poundcake, sweet bread and butter and bread made of Indlaa oorn and rye. Tea was brought from the kltchea and handed around by a aeat white servant girl." Fearson says further: "The establishment of this political patriarch consists of a house two stories high, containing, I believe, eight rooms, of two moa sad three maidservants; three horses and a plain carriage."
