CM TUKSDAY APRIL IS. lOOA. POINTS AND PARAGRAPHS ABOUT GOOD ROADS. A Bint la lha Merchants. If. A. Kara, vl ftaolbarn RaUlray. at SaUiab. Good roads make even trade throughout the year. Oats All That's Cassia* t* U. T. B. hrtrt titmair. Faraat Milana*. at Balatsh Uood Boada Couaaniioa. A bad road is a relentless tax assessor and a sure collector. What Seed loads Mean. *at. O. T. Wlaatoa. at Wlaataa Matota. There would be a revolution in North Carolina if every county had modem macadamised roads. * * * Good roads mean good schools, good libraries, and rural free mail delivery. Saad loads aad Edacalioa. Saaalar F. If. Bltunuaa. at Wlaatoa Salev. Good roads and education go together. Educate the people and there is no power in the world that will keep them from build ing roeds and you can not keep the people from becoming educa ted. Baida Will finild the Benda New. W. >1. Moor*. SraaldMt National Good Rood* Aaooctattoo at Baltic*. Issue bonds. All railroad or street car systems in your State exist by reason oi issuing bonds, and they would not exist without it This method will build the road now; yon will enjoy them, and yonr children will help pay for them. The bonds, If not paid, will be refunded when they are due at a lower rate of interest. Organise, Organise. Organise! W. K. Moor*. Pnaidwit NaUoool Good koedt AoooetMioc. at Ealoictt, It is a abame to deprive the people of the farm from enjoying the librariea, churches, and other advantages ot cities on account of mnd. I hope the women will form clubs and help the men. I think they can do better than tbc men. Will you organise and canry the fight into your own counties? The road question has not received support because there has been no organisation. Wealth Eaoagh la Jaetity It, Certainly. Proeicoitv* r armor. We believe that Gaston baa wealth enough to justify it spend ing $300,000 to improve its highways. The mnd tax is just as ex pensive aa the good roads tax, and it is better to pay road bonds and get good roads than to pay the rand tax and keep bad roads. We shall all learn this lesson before many years. CarsiaX Will k* Taraad to Praia*a. Coynbu C. B. Arrack. (I told**Good *ou)t Coavralica We most bring the country people nearer together by good roads and then we can have good schools. We are'pledged to ed ucate the people of North Carolina. We have beard from the tax ation Imposed for the purpose of educating the children and to bnild good roads; you must raise money by levying taxes. Some will curse you now. but the future generation will ring your praises. Deed Basis AbslUh laelalton. Covcno*C, a. arrack, at Balcich Oaa4 ~ >1i~i j mlln. The question of good roads touches ua at every point. It measures the attendsnce upon schools; are can calculate from the condition of the roads the number who go to church on Sunday; it touches our agricultural life; it meets ns in the industries aud in commerce; there is no interest in North Carolina which is not affected by it. The great strength of North Carolina has been its love of iadividnal liberty, its devotion to the State.. Its weakness has been its isolation. Bad loads Taka Mara Tum Thaa Goad Ouse. ScflMM r. X. Maim X WtaXas-Ssle*. I in told that the general contention is that tbe coat of bad roads to the fanners of this country annuslly amounts to $000,000, 000. Bad roads coat more thaa good ones do. Not only the farm er is concerned about good roads, but tbe city man—tbe banker, tbe clerks, and all have to contribute to tbe loss of the fanner! Another statement is that it costa three times as much to haul a ton on a bad road as a good one. These are tbe conclusions reached by men who have studied the question in all of its details. Thors la a Way. M.V.KiXxnte. X iMAm Ballmy.X AjStvtll* It Is not impossible to have la the South a system of roads ss good as any In the world. We have all tbe conditions necessary for the construction of roads.' The work can be accomplished in. some way. You will have to decide how. There is a way and you will find It. I expect to have tbe pleasure of placing before oar friends In' the North another argument why the South possesses advantages to the bomeseeker, namely, that are have the roads ia tbe United States. Will yon substantiate this argument? Will Fall la Uh Wheat Thar Consider. K. V. IlctertU. at Iwaui Kail***, at Aabrriiw.

The case is the outcome of a family quarrel that, occurred laat Tuesday. It seems teat mere nan Dcen nan feelings for some time past be tween Mr. W. O. Bailes sad Mr. Jas.

They paid no at tention to him and he com menced firing. wounding Mr. Ed Bailes in the groin. The condition of the wounded man is said to be quite serious. The marriage of Miss Carrie Caldarell to Mr. Arthur Lee Black, which took place at the borne of the bride ocar Bccrshe ha, Wednesday afternoon at 4 o’clock, was an event of much interest to the friends of the contracting parties and the peo ple of this section generally.

Fot Sale in Gastonia by ADAM8 DRUG CO. TtlESTt, AUSTltA. Smii Farther Hum •( Scmm la the OM Caoolry. The city of Trieste is tbe principle sea port of Anatria.it is very, charmingly situated in tbe Gull of Trieste which opens out into the Adriatic Sea. Tbra is tbe most, civilized place, or I should uy wort modem, that 1 have seen in tbe Mediterranean country of Europe; it is a great commercial trading port for productions from Egypt. India and all prominent South Europe and North African countries. There are not so many beggars here as I have en countered in moat all tbe other porta, they manufacture a great many fabrics and in. general they seem to be moving. The productions are all aorta of grain fruits and vegetables. The city has well kept streets fine public buildings and parks and a few grand pakmes aad castles; tbe most prominent of these U the Castle Menu are, about an hour's ride by carriage to the westward of the city; it lies at the foot of a mountain and is built well out into the bay. The prominence of this cattle iis that it was once the leading house of Austria, it was the home of the pretender to the throne of Mexico. Maximil lian. I don't think it likely that I shall ever again witness such magnificent splendor as was ex posed to my view the day I visited this palace and its bewilderingly beautiful grounds I may try to give acme meaning description of h but to describe it in the full eloquence of its loveliness is beyond my possi bility. Thete is a room fitted op for every head of Europe and it boasts of entertaining many of tbe old reigning sovereigns be neath its roof. And the bed that Napolean III once slept in is pointed out to the foreign visitor with pride. In the throne room the luge deep panels are of carved ivory and silver, the throne is inlaid with gold. In the library la tbe dainty desk where Maxitniliian affixed bis name and seal which proclaimed him S’ tbe house of Austria ruler of exico. This desk is of solid carved ivotv inlaid with pearl aad gold. The Japanese room I thought tbe moat charming. It is filled with beautiful statues and the paintingi in fact the whole castle is s veritable art gallery, for it contains hundreds of pieces by the old masters which are worth millions of dollars. Very UttW furniture )mt many elegant rugs and matte, tbe ceiling and walls are bang with • beautiful silk TRsaEBeesssasssesKsseas draperies heavily embroidered. Other rooms ere ss sumptonsly furnished but not so unique sad fascinating as this oriental comer. All pleasure seekers risking Trieste can not afford to pern by this principal feature of the vi cinity unobserved. They have excellent beer and vises sad nuke bread far superior to other foreign pans visited. I think ibis is due to the treat majority of Germans that exist la a pre dominant order throughout the country. These are several different lan guages spoken, mostly German, Austrian, Hungarian, and Ital ian. Austria and Hungary is supposed to be a united country, the Boipcrior of Austria being the King of Hungary, but each baa separate pariiuMutary laws which arc enacted upon every tea years, subject at that time to any readjustment the crown may sec it to make, sod it steam quite obvious that Hungary would much prefer to have her own King and court than to be a dependent upon the House of Austria. The Royal standard of Austria is a flag with three wide stripes running lengthwise with the top stripe red, middle stripe white and the bottom red ead green with two yellow crowns in center, and one crown with rad and white for Austria. The other crown and the red and white are for Hungary. Jab. A. Hicks. tm man m umh. We are accustomed to count tbe iron and steel interests as the greatest ol all industries, but cotton—King Cotton it nsr lastly be called—has a right to dispute their claim to suprem acy. Pew have ever quite un derstood or appreciated what it means for our Southern States to bold a practical monopoly of the world's cotton production. Destroy com. and iyoo could find a substitute. Destroy wheat, nod other grains would furnish bread for mankind. But cut short the South's cotton crop by one-half, and the financial and commercial world would stag ger. Cotton, tbe South's crown of glory, is the one staple which enters into every civilized life; it is needed In the palace of tbe king as well aa in tbe humblest hot of the peasant; it la tbe glistening sail alike of tbe royal plcasare yacht and tbe ship of commerce; it U tbe basis of the the greatest manufacturing in dtiilnr nf th» more than $2,000,000,000 of capital, and annually producing an equal amount of manufactured gooda, or $900,000,000 more than the value of the primary forms oi manufactured iron and steel; it is the dominant power in commerce; it brings to us from Europe au average of $1,000,000 every day iu the year. And yet how little do we show our appreciation of it. We gin It with the gin made by Whitney more than 100 rears ago; we compress it with machinery a century old; we waste ha sub stance and destroy ha vitality; we even aril he beet seed to the oil mills and plant tba inferior. Then are wonder why its virility has been weakened and ita product laaaeuad. _But a better day is dawning. The ablest scientists are seeking to improve the quality of tbs seed and the method of culti vation, and expert* ere working oo better machinery to gin end clems sod compress cotton. *•* mn <a. cTrmva 1 Taro North Carolina brother* oatned Abernetby came into tbii county last summer and located at the Jones MiU. former!] known aa Garrison's Mill.
