They may be able to settle anions themselves the question whether it is a greater honor to be set free by Federal Judge or acquitted by a jury in a State court. The Lincoln County News in its issue of July 23d has an ex cellently illustrated section de voted to the cause of good roads, an issue which the people of Lincoln county will have an op portunity of voting on August 8. We commend the enterprise of the News and wish the bond is sue success. The action of the board of aldermen in appointing a com mittee to visit Asheville, High Point, Salisbury and other towns with a view to ascertaining what material would suit best for the paving of streets in Gas tonia is a wise one and will meet the hearty approval of all public spirited citizens. Gas- tonia wants the best and at the same time it is well to have an eye to economy in order that the appropriation for street im provments may be made to go as far as possible. The gentle men composing this committee are eminently qualified for the task assigned them and will per form their duty well.

An official of the Presbyterian Hospital in that city said in a recent letter to the Charlotte News that the Presbyterian Hos pital had payed its way and paid over $4,000 to charity.
