DIFFERENT IDEAS
REGARDING THEfl
Bond I Mil Mil Investment Instead of a
Burritin.o-Th Value and Convenience
f Good Hinhwnju.
Some days ago a lawyer from a' vil
lage down east was in Charlotte. He
was making his way to Belmont,
where lie had business, and lie thought
it wonld be great to go over there in
an automobile. But the shovers shook
their heads, saying that the macadam
gave out a mile or two this side and
that they did not wish to tackle the
mud. .
: So the lawyer got him an old-fashioned
team, a horse and buggy, invi
ted the Traveler to go with him, and
off they went.out Mint street and into
the open country along the Catawba
river road. Of all the beautiful high
ways in Mecklenburg county, this is
the most beautiful. Its grades are
gentle, its right of way, though probaly
of the uniform width, seems unusualy
wide, the country through which it
gracefuly passes is highly fertile. The
lawyer's enthusiasm was unbounded.
Accustomed to the boresome grind of
sand on iron tires, and the weary
plodding through miles of heavy ruts
his spirits mounted as the horse kept
the swinging gait with which he had
started mile after mile. He said it
made him think of France or Italy
some foreign land, which hp had seen
only in pictures ; that he could hardly
believe himself in North Carolina.
Beyond each hill, over which the
curving roadway climbed, he said, he
felt in his bones that a great city lay,
and that something worth seeing
would burst in view at every bend It
Was thrilling to be with the man and
to see his efforts at expression.
But all this bubbling delight served
to mark the contrast when the buggy
fell off the macadam into the mud. It
happened to be the muddiest road you
ever saw. . From a long-paced, sweep
ing trot, the horse was dragged down
to a slow walk. There was. not a fleck
of foam on him up to this time, but
the sweat popped out on bun before
he bad taken the mud for it 100 yards.
It was not worth while to use swear
words; nothing but patience availed.
Every hundred .yards covered was a
victory. Once the horse was allowed
to choose his road at a fork, and he
chose the wrong one. Bat it cost him
half a mile of squashing toil before
some cottagers corrected his error. So
the two miles to Belmont and the two
miles back to the macadam were ac
complished. The only easy travel the
road afforded was the bride across the
Catawba. -.-,--:. ,
Sweet is the pleasure after pain.
The lawyer was enthusiastic when out
ward bound, but his emotions when
the rubber tires folt themselves once
more firmly on the smooth rock
floor were deep and quiet. Sheeted
with sweat when be had mounted the
last mud hill, the horse walked a lit
tle way on the good road, and then
voluntarily broke into his wonted gait
and kept it up to where the city or
dinance stopped him at the square.
The lawyer did not, perhaps, need any
sermon on good roads; bnt if he did
he had had a most eloquent on. Char
lotte Observer.
In an interesting address before a
meeting of the grange at Greece, N.
Y. , Coun ty Eng i neer J. Y. McCl i n -tock
spoke on the many advantages of
country- life- and - the - importance of
having good roads. He advocated
building wide "roads so that all
vehicles could safely pass. On the
desirability of having trees along the
road he had the following to say:
We know that hedges, Bmall trees
and bushes are not fuitable along our
roads because of drifting snows,, but
there are great trees which will grow
up high and be a source of enjoyment
and attractiveness. I know that some
will object to trees because they will
to some extent reduce the productive
ness of a strip of land within their
range, but as far as I can learn a good
row of trees along a road will make
the farm more saleable. Many of your
farms will bo bought by people from the
city, and to them surely the trees will
be an advantage, There should not
be dense rows of trees, but they should
be - placed far enough apart to permit
of full development of each tree.
There are certain trees in your 'town
which many people look upon as per
sonal friends, and many drive and
walks are taken to visit them and
com under thalr Influence.
Thi prtd of Xtw loflaad u wtli
as old Eugland is the noble old trees
which connect in one life the times of
oor sturdy forefathers and the present.
It requires time and care to secure
good trees, but they are worth tho cost
in creating the beautiful vistas which
are so effective in architecture, in
making cooling shade and intricate
forms so refreshing to the body and
delightful to the eye, in making wind
breaks which are beneficial to many
crops and in transforming a bleak,
flat country into an enjoyhale living
and looking place. With united effort
you can secure all the most attractive
features which rich men and cities
secure by lavish expenditure of money
in the formation of parks, and it will
all add to the value of your property.
A man will spend 10 for a modern
plow instead of $1.50 for an old-time
plow of bis .'-.'fathers, becauso it pays
him to do so.
He will spend $150 for a horse in
stead of $25 for an ox, because the
horse can travel faster and easier, and
hence is worth more.
He will spend $50 for a modern
wagon or buggy instead of $20 for the
crude cart of his ancestors, because in
this, as in other cases, he follows the
dictates of his wisdom in making the
one or the other of these voluntary in
vestments. Bat when the question of a tax is
raised he loses bis capacity for reason
ing. V ; V-..'..' .:
He was born against it; lie has lived
against it, and voted against it, and
ho is just naturally against it.
Furthermore, the politicians have
told him that he Could not stand such
an increase in his tax, that taxes were
too high anyhow, and that the people
were not ready for it yet.
He may waste half his winter time
on the roads because they are so in
tolerably bad.
He may damage a horse and spend
$25 a year repairing wagons and bug
gies, because of these terrible roads.
' If forced " to do so he may count it
up that these bad roads cost him $25
or $50, or even $75 a year.
He may admit they necessitate his
hanling half loads all winter and
spring; that they keep his children
from school and bis family from
church; and make the boys and girls
all wan to leave tho country and
move to town.
He may realize that in swearing
over the mud holes and broken ve
hicles he is losing even the religion
which he inherited.
He may admit all of this and more
but when there is raisod before him
the question of increasing his tax, he
is seized with a nightmare which
blinds him to all the compensating
benefits.
Like the bull and the red flag, he is
opposed to it on principle and he is
going to fight it. But some day onr
people will consider a tax in its true
light M i an lnvesfuienT,"andTiOTio "best
and only satisfactory results. ; ;
They will see that such an invest
ment pays; and that it pays in pro
portion to the wisdom and intelligence
with which it is expended.
Fortunately, too, we are coining to
understand that our bad roads impose
upon us a tax which is just as real and
burdensome as any or all of our other
other taxes combined, and, further
more, that is a tax which bears heav
ily upon every citizen and benefits no
one. J, A, Holmes, State Geologist.
If after two weeks of rainy weather,
followed by one hour of sunshine, "a
bicycler can speed along at a gait of
eight miles an hour and sling no mud
up his back, if after a dry summer's
traffic a funeral train can move over
the road without raising the dust, if
after-several -years'-use there are no
perceptible ruts made by the wagon
wheels or horses' hoofs, then we can
pronounce it a good road.
Some of you may think Jhis but an
idle dream, impossible of realization.
You need but travel a little in some
of the European countries to undeceive
yourselves in this respect. You will
find that such roads are possible, and
not only possible, but in the long run
the most economical. In this country
in extensive drives orhicycle rides we
rejoice when we approach a town, for
there we expect to find solid roads.
In most of the European countries,
on the other hand, we rejoice when
we get out of the towns with their
hard, rough paving blocks and reach
the smooth, clean country macadam.
In this country, especially in the
western States, the plan is to make
the highway wide enough to enable us
to turn out from mndholes and dusty
tracks. . In the old conn try the ph n

REHAINS BURIED
IN GREENVIEW,
Short Srrvlc at the Residence. Conducted
hj Ilev. I). I. CralB." Words of Sjra
uuthr for the Bereaved Family.
The Review told Tuesday of the
tragic death of Mr, Edgar Williams,
who was killed by an early morning
train. The young man was sitting on
the track just opposite the Honduras
factory when No. 38 came on. The
engineer saw him and blew the whistle,
and Mr. Williams got up. , He appar
ently started to leave the
track when he fell backwards. While
it is not known what caused him to
fall' it is supposed that he made a bad
step, striking a rail or cross-tie. It
was very dark. The engine had been
reversed and soon stopped. The train
crew made investigations and reported
to the night operator at the depot
Officer Faulkner and special policeman
G. R. Barber immediately went to the
scene and recognized Mr. Williams.
The father of the young man was
notified, a conveyance was secured
from a livery stale, and the limp body
was carried to the family home. Drs.
Balsley and McGehee were in waiting,
and bandadged up the wounds, which
consisted of a bad cut over the temple,
a bruised eye and larcerated eye-lid
and three fractured ribs and perhaps
internal injuries. Consciousness was
never regained, and about one 'o'clock
the heart ceased to beat.
The funeral service occurred Wed
nesday afternoon at four o'clock from
the family residence. Rev. D. I. Craig
read several passages of scripture and
spoke words of sympathy to the dis
tressed relatives. He prayed fervently
that those afflicted in so sad a manner
might be given strength and comfort
from Above. The interment was in
Gr-senview cemetery.
The active pall-bearers were J E
Lamberth, W ,C uarris, C W Swann,
F L Ford, H L Trotter, Will Dalton.
Honorary Sheriff Pinnix, R I Mayo,
J W Dameron, W S Thomas, J A
Brackin, Russell Tucker, J T Oliver.
There were many beautiful floral
tributes, and a large number of sor
rowing friends followed the remains to
their last resting place.
Besides his parents, ex-Mayor and
Mrs. R. T. Williams, deceased is sur
vived by three sisters, Mrs. R. S.
Wheeler, of Concord, and Misses Jessie
and Susie Williams.
Among the out-of town relatives who
attended tho funeral Were Mr, Paul
Fetzer, of Concord, Mr. T. J. Fetzer,
Of Wadesboro. Mr. and Mrs. John Wil
liams, og Ruffin, Mr. Hugh Williams
and family, of Monroeton, Mr. R. S.

Frank Hairston and Lizzie Johnston,
colored, were arrested Wednesday on a
charge of breaking into the store of
W. P. Ware, near Walker's saw mill,
and taking from his safe between $20
and $30 ia cash. They entered through
the double door next to the railroad
track by' springing the door in the
centre until they could get their hand
in far enough to raise the bar. Lizzie
admitted on the trial Wednesday before
Mayor Watt that Bhe did the watching
while Hairston entered and stole the
mcney. The officers only found $1.40
on Hairston. They were bound over
undr $20 bond each. Officers Jackson
and Faulkner searched the premises of
Ephram Graves, where they lived und
found $18.30 hid in an old closet behind
some- framing where the plaster had
fallen off.
Yesterday morning the Johnston
woman implicated Lucy McCain in the
affair, and she was immediately locked
up. At her hearing it devaloped that
Ephram had hid the money in his home
and he was bound over under a $40 bondi
The bond of Hairs tan was increased to
$50j and the McCain girl turned loose.
Lucj is a little black waif which drifted
into Reidsville one day a year or so 140
from Wentworth, claiming that the
woman who adopted her was cruel. She
has since been traveling down th
much-used path, and will sooner or
later be carrid back to Wentworth -jail,
that is, unless all signs fail.
