Harrinjan has landed and the financial world is all agog to know what will happen next. It is not well that one man should wield such an influence in the buiuets jvorld.

Tne Robersonville section has always given us pleasing sup port. 44 What Will It Cost Us to Get Good Roads?" The question as to what it costs to build good roads is one that ad mits erf 110 definite general answer. Where the material for road mak ing is right at hand the cost is naturally smaller than where it has to be brought from a distance; and in a level country grading, of course, co-ts less than in a hilly region. The only way to find out what any given stretch of roal will cost is to have a competent engineer make as urvey and make estimate. It is a fact, however, that good roads do not cost as much as many folks iliink Good macadam roads take money to build, it is true: $2,000 a mile may be regarded HS the minimum under favorable cir cumstances for a good nine toot macadarti road. Ordinarily in the South suii a road will cost $3,000 to $4,000. An Unwelcome Guest We arc always glad to welcome visitors to our town, but recently we bad to regret the presence of A. B. Rand, of Norfolk, who is said to be a blackleg poker player. We feel that the coming of such a -tnan into the town is the trail of the serpent. It is current report that some of our citizens were in duced to enter a game with Rand and lost money. We are not regretting so much that the monev has gone from the community,-but the baneful, influence which has been exerted upon our people. It is a species of lawlessness to come into a town for such a purpose. Unfortunately, there are always men who can be eaily induced to engage in acts contrary to law and order. We are not writing this in any bad spirit, but with the belief that when these matters, come to the knowledge of the'town and county authorities, that they will at once take such actions as uiay be necces sary to preserve the good name of the community. How the Road Drag Helps. Mr. J. M. enthusiastic advocate of road improvement in Caldwell County, has demonstra ted beyond question the practica lity of keeping in first-class con dition a well constructed road simply by the constant and intelli gent use of the ordinary split-log drag. His road leading out from Granite Falls is kept in good con dition during the year at a cost of $lO per mile and each citizen on this road contributes only Si to the road fund each year. I walked over this road during the recent continued rainy wt a'tier, and not withstanding the f.iet that there was heavy traffic ou it, it was practically free from tnud The road has been transformed into a sand-clay since the lot ten soil has been washed out, leaving only the solid matter which makes an ex cellent road bed and which is kept in such condition that a good team can haul from 3,000 to 5.000 pounds over it for 340 ddys in the year. Mr. Allred's experience is that it is best from an economical stand point not to undertake too much at a time Plow along just outside the ruts aijd have some shoveling and dragging, getting the soil in the center of the road, bearing all along in uiiiid that you want the road bed sloped from the very center to the ditch so as to shed the water quickly and not allow it to run along down the rut made by the wheel. It is well iu beginning the dtag sys'ein to drag when very sloppy (but nevei when very sticky), and then when in a crumb ly state and ruts begin to be made, the drag will fill tip the ruts, knock off the high points and unload in the low places. Kver> first-class t Ao-liorse farmer ought by all means to have a split log drag. He can take it out while resting and run it tor a mile or less and back and at a time w hen he could not be in the field —W. M. MOORK, Progressive Farmer.
