Since our town is arranging to do some permanent street improv ing, we have given the matter a good deal of thought and have come to the conclusion that we would make a mistake to putddVn Mcadam instead of paving on the principal streets of the town. Take West Main street, for instance, and the very best possible mcadam will only stand the heavy and increas iner traffic of that street a few- years and will require repamng every year. If, however, the street be paved with vitritied brick and properly done, the street wilKrequire no more attention for a generation. The surfacing and grading of the streets will be practically the same, whether paving or macadam be used, therefore, the only matter to be considered, in a question of cost, will be the diflerence letween ma cadam and the vitrified brick. We have not given the matter of cost enough investigation to say what the relative cost would be, but are inclined to the opinion that the principal streets on which the traffic is heaviest should be paved. Another great consideration is the cleanliness of paved streets. A shower of rain acts as a cleaner to paved streets, washing all filth away in the gutters while this is not the case with macadamized streets. We hope the town Com missions will take this matter up and investigate it fully before do ing any work and we believe they will decide that paving is the thing for some of our streets. We believe the additional cost of paving will be more than com pensated in the lasting and other advantages of the paving over the macadam. New Recruit. Charlotte Observer. The anti-administration Republi cans in North Carolina have gain ed another valuable recruit in the person of Mr. Frank A. Linney, of Boone, the solicitor of the thirteeth judicial district, and a son of ex (Congressman B. Z. Linney. Like his father, Solicitor Linney does not hesitate to speak his mind, whether the matter under discuss ion be politics or any other subject that is engaging the public atten tion. Just now the younger Lin ney is interested in the movement having for its object the overthrow of the admistration forces in this State and giving to Speaker Can non North Carolina's vote for the the presidential nomination. The Observer correspondent iuduced Mr. Linney to get into action by asking the question: "Have you a choice among the presidential can didatest" "Certainly I have, " replied the soiled tor of the thirteenth . "I am for Joseph Q. Cannon, and I can not understand how any true North Carolinian can gppose his nomination. He was born in oar State and has grown so greatf in his adopted State that all the nation has delighted to honor him. lie hns- never been called to any post of duty in which he did not grow greater by a faithful , discharge of every duty both to his party and the.nation. Conservative in thought bold in action, he is pre-eminently the Abo Lincoln of modern Re publican thought. "I believe his nomination would be an instant panacea for the present financial stringency. I be lieve 'Uncle Joe's' armor is panic proof. With his nomination would come a complete restoration of pub lic confidence and a revival of bus mess prosperity, liis messages and public utterances could easily be traced to the platform on which he was elected, and their deliver ance would elicit applause from his friends and not his enemies. North Carolina should, of all States, be for him. "It is said that the administra tion is for Taft, and that, there fore, the office-holders are for him. If that le true, and Secretary Taft should be nominated and elected, then his first act should be to car ry out his Southern scheme, launch ed at Greenslwro two years ago turn out the Republican office holders and put in their places respectable 1 )emocrats . To oppose a native son and follow the ad ministration invites that fate and proves that the Secretary's observa tions were well founded and that the Republican party in this State deserves the rebuke.'' "Do you think some of the men holding office under Mr. Roosevelt will be for Mr. Cannon!" asked The Observer correspondent. "Certainly I do,'' replied Mr. Linney. "I know many of them. Of course, in all parties, " 'You shall mark Many a duteous and k nee-creek ing knave That, doting on his owu obsequious bondage, Wears out his time, much like his master's ass. For naught but provender." "Many of the very best men in the State are holding official posi tions under the present administra tion who reserve to themselves the right to be free in the selection of of Mr. Roosevelt's successor, aud you will find many of them who will refuse to play the role of their 'master's ass for provender." " As a parting shot, the correspon dent asked: "Do you believe Mr. Cannon will carry the counties in your congressional district?" "I believe he will carry every county in the district, it any ef fort is made in his behalf. There are, possibly, two doubtful count ies in the district. Undoubtedly he is the choice of the eight con gressional district. The mountain counties are certainly for Cannon and a return to 'safe and sane' Re publicanism. You may say that the eighth district will send two delegates to the national convention instructed to vote for Cannon."' Does Coffee disagree with you? Probably it does! Then try Dr. Snoop's Health Coffee. "Heulth Coffee" is a clever combination of parched cereals and nuts. Not a grain of real Coffee, remember, in Dr. Whoop's Health Coffee, yet its flavor and taste matches closely old Jave and Mochia Coffee. If your stomach, heart, or kidneys can't stand Coffee drinking, try Health Coffee. It is wholesome, nourishing, and satisfy ing. It's nine even for the youngest child. Hold by J. E. Shell, druggist. Sound Advice aqd a Warning. Loutsburg Times. Elsewhere we publish an accouut of the theft of six thousrud dollars from a citizen of this county, who had it hid away in his home. The sympathy of the people goes out to Mr Jeans, and his awful experience should be a warning to all others of the danger of thus hoarding money. If you keep money hoard ed at home it is a standing invita tion to criminals to come and take and murder you. You are tempt ing weak people to commit crime. Save your money, but save it in a bank where it is safe. In doing this you not only save your money, and perhaps your life but your money will be doing good in the world. It will make business and better prices for your products. An idle dollar is as bad as au idle man. If you don't need your money for immediate use place it out of reach of thieves and where it will be working for you and others all the time. The Times hones it will never have to publish such another piece of news as the loss of this six thousand dollars. The Fews 'o Pure Drug Cough cure Laws would be needed, if all Cough Cures were like Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure is aud has been for 20 years. The National Law now re quires that if any poisons enter into a cough mixture, it must be printed on the label or package. For this reason mothers, and others, should insist on having Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. No poison-marks on Dr. Shoop's labels and none in the med icine, else it must by law be on the label. And it's not ouly safe, but it is said to be by those that know it best, a truly remarkable cough remedy. Take 110 chance, particu larly with your children. Iusist on having Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. Compare carefully the Dr. Shoop package with others and see. No poison marks there! You can always be on the safe side by demanding Dr. Shoop's Cougli Cure. Simply refuse to accept any other.
