Gaston county voted last week * toissue 1300.000 of 4 per cent 30-year bonds for improving public roads. That wide-swake county has now made possible the saying of thousands of dot lots annually to the farmers who will nse the roads. Bad roads ara the heaviest possible tax to be pieced upon the citizens of a county, and it is to be hoped that Stanley county will soon get to a point of realising the troth of this statement. Our preseat system is so im provement over the old, bat The Enterprise expects to lend itself from this on toward crest ing a sentiment for a bond hsne which will eaabie us to bay n rock crasher and other Kjnipment for macadamising of our public roads.

It would take time to bring about tfcla change, but it c«u be done, and wt don't need a heavy bond iaaue with which to make a atari. We would like to get expression from many ol the leading farm era and business men of the county regarding this question. The county is growing In wenhh and population.

Tan Bank Offlcsra la Oaa Prison. Wllnlastoa Simhi. The penitentiary at Colnmbua. Ohio, opened it* doors Saturday to receive A. B. Spear, late cashier of the Obciim bank, to close upon him for seven long years. He is the tenth bank of ficial on the present roll of that institution. Just think of it—ten bank of ficials and no two of them, we suppose, from the same bank serving terms at the tame lime in one prison for embezzlement and other fraudulent transac tions with the money entrusted to their kecpinr by the patrons of the banks. Some of these are men who had occupied positions of trust and responsibility for years. Some had, by applica tion, attention to dnty and tried houcsty worked their way up from low-grade clerkships to the leading positions in the banks. No doubt, some of them, before they fell had been more than once sorely tempted to commit criminal breaches of tbeir trusts, but had resisted the temptation. Bat the time csine with each one OI tnese wnen tbe strain on their moral strength was greater than they could bear ana conscience gave way. Moral fortitude to stand up against some tempora ry pecuniary embarrassment de serted them. The tempter told them they could take the money entreated to their safe-keeping for their pressing needs and re turn it before their action was found out; that there were many men now living in wealth and standing high in the estimation of the moral and financial world who had done the same; that it woold be easy by speculation to make enough money to pay back what they had taken and to leave a goodly sum for them selves. No donbt there are among these ten men some who falsified accounts, made false entries in their books, swore to false state ments, who, before they had given way to the first temptation, would have recoiled with honor at the bare suggestion that they should make temporary use of say of the money of others over which they had control, but af ter awhile they began to listen to the tempter, bet still refused to do his bidding. Then they began to argue tbe matter with him, still resisting, though that resistance grew weaker and weaker until at last the fatal step was taken with the idea of early restoration and some of the bank*! mnnpv "borrowed."

WITH THE BOfE. Taa Tsxat Sltm la fill la the Raw World’a lacard. Cbtikalw New* Htd Courier. Wbat ia believed to be the world's record on ten steers was made by J. R. Carroll, of Okla boms, at the base ball park Sun day afternoon in the world’s championship roping contest, between hius and Clay McGoua gill. McGonagill is the popular puncher and roper of Saa Ange lo*. These two men—acknow ledged the best in the business, met in contest before s crowd of 3,000 people Sunday. Bach man roped ten steera. Carroll made the remarkable time of 0 minutes and 9 seconds McGonagill who bad hard lock on three of hi* steers, took 7 minutes X 3-5 seconds for bis ten. McGonagill made the beat time on an individual steer, get ting bis fifth in 25 seconds. Car roll’s best time was on his last steer, whicl\ be got ia 28 sec ond*. The world's best time for ten steers is not known, but it is believed Carroll's 6 minutes and 9 seconds reduces it, whatever it is, by many seconds. Both men were in magnificent form, all the horses used did work which suggested almost hnmau knowledge of the game, the Btects, with a few exceptions, were wild enough to suit the most critical, and the immense crowd, which packed the stand and bleachers and leaked out onto the edge of the field, was wildly enthusiastic. McGonagill used three horsCs. his ponies. Rowdv. Sunflower and Rambler. Carroll used bat two fa ones. Red Buck and Jack Hill. Tbc latter and Rowdy showed themselves past pluper fect prestissimo masters of tbe art of roping, and many an en vious eye was cast toward these cow pones by tbe hundreds of punchers present who had come off tbe range to see tbe contest. More than once Rowdy and Jack Hill prevented a steer getting to Hu feet again after the throw by hauling away and backward from tbe animal, thereby keeping its bead down, and drawn back, while tbe agile cowboys twisted tbe hand rope quickly around the flying legs. The roping began promptly at 2:30 o’clock and continued to the finish without a hitch. Not > steer was crippled, not a rider was spilled and not a complaint was registered by any one. McGonagill and Rambler did pretty work on the Tazan’s eighth steer, although the time was only 45 2-5 seconds. Tbe steer was a fast one, bnt Ram bler was faster and got alongside before the fence corner was reached. A hard fall resulted and McGonagill was off like lightning and after the steer’s legs. Before be could reach them tbe steer tried to get up. Quick as a flash tbe pony swung his weight on the rope and side stepped to draw tbe animal’s head back. McGonagill did the rest. Mounting his favorite horse. Rowdy, a ten-year-old that has helped win nearly $50,000 in prize*, McGonagill made up for three bad breaks by gating his ninth steer in 26 2-5 seconds, and hit tenth in 20 3-5 seconds. In both the steers were throurn after a hard run to tbe far corner of the field. The work on both of these was quick and ante and without an instant’s delay. On the ninth steer, McGonagill took * •'•y uvui time uc \|u«i hit horse anti! be threw up hit anus. When the Texas went after hit tenth ateer a mad race to tbe fence in tbe far comer ea rned. Just aa it looked aa if both horae and ateer were going crash bang into tbe fence, He Gonagill threw bis rope. He got tbe ateer by one horn. The pony ■topped, but tbe steer did not. He sailed over tbe fence like an antelope, tbe rope ierking loose as he landed on the other aide. It waa ruled that this did not count and another steer waa turned out. Hr. McUonagili got hint In quick order. A feature of the work of both men Sunday was the rapidity with which they tied their steers. McGonagill cat down hia total time In tbia manner in nearly every instance. While b* did tbe quickest work ia this regard vain *«««!« hup hti i»c »u not hotter than Carroll, who mtda a remarkably quick tie on each steer and on two took tan seconds from the moment He dismounted. Neither man broke a rope during the contest, at* though caob bad a rope alip off after the steer bad been laaaoad. Carroll's rtcord for tbe day was the subject of much com ment and pralae. On only one ■teer did be take over a minute and in that caae, broke over tke mark only two second*. Ooe atccr took him over fifty seconds to get and one took .bin forty p<>« aecoads. The other seven be got in lees then forty second*. McGonsgill began the sport and Carroll followed, after which they alternated. The man from Oklahoma began in whirlwind time, getting bis first steer in tweuty-atx and two-fiftbs sec* onds. He was riding hi* famous bone ■ Red Dock," which be Msed for bis first four heats. Kor the last six steers be rod* Jack Hill," another star cattle pony. On his first five steers Carroll simply did perfect work. He went after the animals like ■ shot oat of a run, threw them or dragged them to keep them from getting op. he tied them with ligbUungOik* speed. Carroll's first fall down from a phenomenal record was oq his seventh steer, which was some* what taine and got up twice be* fore he was thrown and held down. The visitors took Stf 1*5 seconds for this steer. On hie very next steer Carroll showed that he had not lost his form. He got after a fast runner, but overtook him just before he reached the corner. After being thrown the steer got up, but the bendy puncher and his foxy pony galloped around him and turned him over backward. Carroll made the tie in ten seconds and took only 32 4*5 seconds for tha whole job. It was on his nioth steer that Carroll broke over one minute. It was a freak case. The steer, a wild little black, broke over the line like a shot and made straight for the time keeper's table. The crowd around the table made e wild scramble for the gate to the bleachers, but the brave judges stood, or rather ant their ground. Carroll was almost on top of the steer and it looked like a chance to break every record on the books. Bat the steer stopped and peered at the scattering crowd. Carroll almost rode him down, and be fore his pony could adjust him •cik ui ■ quick >iup Inc Kerr uau made a quick turn ana was gone. Carroll caught him about tbe middle of tbe field, but got his rope on one born only and it slipped off. The second trial, near the corner, brought down the steer, but the time was 1 minute and 2 seconds. At if to make up for his break, Carroll got his next steer in 28 seconds flat, os good time at be has ever made. Hia steer was a wide horned, loug coupled wild, fast animal, Carroll made a beautiful, perfect throw and dropped tbe steer about two thirds of the way from tbe pen to tbe far corner. Carroll was on the ground with hia rope in his band in an instant. Before he got to the struggling steer the animal tried to get up. Jack Hill came to the rescue then, about five yards. In the mean time Carroll bad bogtied it. It was 14 seconds from the time the flag fell till Carroll quit ‘hia hone and 12 seconds from thee until he threw np his arms. A special from Spartanbdrg The fight between Seth M. Milhkcn, of New York, and W. B. Lucas, president of the Laurens Cotton Mill, for the con trol of that concern, is exciting much interest in financial circles in this city, because both princi pals are know by a number of people here. Mr. Millikan is strongly indentified with the Pacolet, Spartan, Whitney.Lock hart, Drayton and Hartsville Mills. The outcome will be set tled to-morrow at tbe meeting to be held at Laarens, and the re sult will be watched with a great deal of interest. MMC FACTS AM FANCIES. -n roas— Boys wilt be boy*.
