w. r. MAISHAH. MUtr —4 frortttor. DEVOTED VOL. XXVI._ POINTS AND PARAGRAPHS ABOUT C: JD ROADS. The Tax W* Now Pay. Dr. U.T. Win*to*, ttflint, A. ft. ft. CnUwt. Not • basket of eggs is brought to market, not a box of chick ens, a pound of meat, a bale of cotton, a barrel of apples, nor a bushel of grain but pays a tax to bad roada, invisible and imper ceptible, bnt constant, steady, and in the aggregate destructive of progress and prosperity._ Egnivalent to Killing Every Hero* and Male Aanaally. Dr. O. T. Winaton. Preiidcst. A. ft ft. Ten millions oi dollars annually, as tribute to clay, mud, sand, rocks, and hills, not to mention tired beasts, galled shoulders, sore backs, and profane drivers. During the last twenty-five years this bad-road tax has consumed an amount of mouey equal to the taxa ble values of the whole State of North Carolina. Onc-tcntb of wbat we waste annually on bad roads woold give a seven moutbs’ term to every school in North Carolina; $10,000,000 thrown away on bad roada. It is the same as if every horse and mule in North Carolina were killed annually. Bad Read* Unfavorable ta Matrimony. Dr. G. T. Win*ton, PTrudrat V ft ft. Coll.**. The bad-road tax is paid every minute of every hour of every day in the year. It collects itself. - I do not wonder the doctors and preachers and young men came to the help of Captain Alex ander in Mecklenburg county. They know the coat of bad roads. The yonng men bad to ride around to see the pretty gills; the preachers had to tie the knot and christen the babies; the doctors bad to usher in the new generation and nsber out tbe old. Neces sarily. in his campaign in Mecklenburg county for good roads. Captain Alexander found his moat ardent supporters to be young men, preachers, and doctors. I think it might be demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt that bad roada are unfavorable to mat rimony and increase of population. Taxation aa aa Invsttmast Instead al a Bardaa. J. A. Holme*. tutl CcalafUt. A mau will spend $10 for a modern plow instead of $1.50 for so old-time plow of hit fathers, because it pays him to do so. He will spend $150 for a horse instead of $25 for an ox, be cause the horse csn travel faster and easier, and hence is worth more. He will spend $50 for a modern wagon or buggy instead of $20 for tbe crude cart of his ancestors, because is thia, as in other cas es, he follows the dictates of his wisdom in making the one or the other of these voluntary investments. But whan the question of a tax is raised be loses bis capacity for reasoning. He was bom against it; he has been educated against it; be hat lived against it, and voted against it, and he is just naturally against It. Farther more, the politicians have told him that he could not stand snch an increase in his tax; that taxes were too high any how; and that the people were not ready for it yet. He may waste half his winter time on the roads because they are so intolerably bad. He may damages horse and spend $25 a year repairing wagons and baggies, because of these terrible roads. If forced to do to he may count it up that these bad roads cost him $25 or $50. or even $75 a year. He may admit that they necessitate his hauling half loads all winter and spring; that they keep his children from school and his family from church; and make the boys and girls all want to leave the country and move to town. He may realize that in swearing over the mudholes and broken vehicles he is losing even the religion which be inherited. He may admit all of this and more, but wheu there is raised before him tbe question of increasing his tax, he is seized with a nightmare which blinds him to all tbe compensating benefits. Like the bull and tbe red flag, be is opposed to it on princi ple and he is going to fight it. Bdf'some day our people will come to consider a tax in its true light as aa investment, and as the best and only satisfactory means of accomplishing certain necessary and beneficent results. They will see that such an investment pays; and that it pays in proportion to the wisdom and intelligence with which it is ex pended. Fortunately too, we are coming to understand that our b«sd roads impose upon ns a tax which it just as real and burdensome as any or all of oar other taxes combined; and, furthermore, that this in a tax which bears heavily upon every citizen and benefits no one. ■CASS LIU A DINK NOVEL Story d (he Rebbery el the Leila fedelHre Inrlieelellj (he Accoael el Hell • Dwisn Other BeU id Sacceeehil Hade.

We can call np the sweet memories of our childhood days aad la the garden of childish bliss we can live over again those hallowed periods in oar lives. . As long as are cojoy good health aad ease and comfort, we too often fail to appreciate them as we should. Let them be taken from us and then we realise what bless inn they were and bow grate ful we should have been ia the possession of them. Tbe good things of this life are rarclyevcr properly appre ciated as long aa wa have them. This is a sad commentary on bum so nature.
