C, a while ago was standing in the Come, now, and let us reason together. All who really think must admit that the one great need of to- day is one great central highway, with others in sufficient quantities leading into this to give our South- land a net work of loads, so that it will be no burden to our team to curry a pounds to our markets. If you have miles to go to market and your team can carry pounds over all except one mile, and that is door in full View of the railroad and rough that only pounds can i ITEMS. a train went speeding by. To me it looked very much as do other trains. There was nothing unusual about the appearance of the that was drawing the four cars that were attached. They had to me very much the appearance of other cars of their class. Two of them looked right much like the regular passenger cars of this line and two had very much the appearance of the regular baggage and express cars that pass this way four times each day. So to me there was really about this train of greater in- than the other trains. But standing in another door close by the railroad track was a woman with several children. To these this train was hailed with great joy, because her husband and the father of those children is an employee of the rail- toad company, and this train they know is bringing with it an envelope within which is man's month's and tonight he will bring home candy and other good things his wife and those little ones. So it looks very different to these than what it does to one who really has no personal interest in it. Still another stands off and with green-eyed envy looks on the pay master that is employed by the A. C. L. to distribute the money to the men all along the great system. a one never thinks what a great responsibility hangs on this one man, and what a struggle he had to climb to this responsible position. That envious man would have the good things of life to come his way, but when asked to do the little things life he tells you lie is not built that way. So the great corporations say to him, neither are we built that way. The man to reach the top round us must start at the bottom and up, up, one round at a time. They must know that a man is fitted by actual test for any important place before he is given that place to fill. Still another that is more thought- looks and wonders how this great A. C. L. Company can do such a vast amount of business, with so many suits for damages, and with such a vast expense in every way. Sir, let me tell you they would have stopped long since if they had been afraid be carried over that, then must load for that one mile, and in this more than the taxes for one year for many of us would be. When was years old I was appointed overseer of a road, and, oh, my, I felt that I was It, and it spelled with a big I. Then I had tall posts out and boards paint- ed and at the bottom of each board I printed my name in big letters and affixed I had some headed, with my name and overseer. felt proud of my office and did enjoy seeing my name with the affix overseer, until one day I was passing one of those painted sign-boards with my name and affix printed on it, and underneath my name was printed in black letters this names are like their It then dawned on me what the line to complete the couplet v. as. So began to feel small, and soon decided that dog had not even grazed the skin on me sufficiently deep for me to even cut my wisdom teeth. But it had taken time for me realize that I did not know it all. Even so it will take time and gentle suasion to teach the whole people that there is no great monster hidden within the word bonds. So let's all come together, work and kindly counsel each with the other, and above all, let's have good roads, and lets have them at an early day. If you deem this worth space let it go. I ever stand for progress, peace, and mercy to our beasts of burden which can only be shown by building good roads. P.

WHAT A PICTURE, Why Not Have The Best Schools In The County f that neighborhood has the beat school in the When you hear this said about a community what a pleasing picture at once Hashes through your mind work, and they well knew that You not only see the pretty, painted, of the only way to command work is With money, and the only way to secure sufficient money was through a bond issue, yea, not for thousands, but for many millions of dollars. No city has ever developed or made any progress that did not borrow money to build up its public and other enterprises. Suppose Charlotte, amidst her water famine, had said attractive school building, with well- kept grounds, but a joyous picture of the thrift and enterprise and progress of the entire community also itself. You know that if the neighborhood has the best school in the county, then it must be that about best people in it already, and that more good people are coming to a good school always at- v. e are afraid of bonds, and therefore tracts good citizens like a magnet. You know the fact that these people have had the enterprise to get the best school in the county, means, too, they are wide awake about they live in good homes; that they have painted their houses; that they are using proved Implement and machinery; that they are getting better roads; we will do nothing to relieve our thirst.

And so with every nation, state, city, town or community that baa made progress, the came has borrowed money, and to this has issued But there are those who seem to look upon the word bonds with nor- that there is a wholesome social life and that the young are hap- pier, and that in a hundred other ways the school and the spirit it rep- resents have made their influence felt in brightening the lives of the people round-about. All these suggestions lead directly to Why shouldn't your neighborhood have the best school in the county, or at least one of the best It would only take a little determination and co-operation on the part of all the people in your community. First of all, get your district so enlarged or arranged as to provide proper support for a school. Then vote whatever local tax is necessary in order to get an adequate teaching force and an adequate school term. This will cost money, but so does seed corn cost money. Still one doesn't mind putting valuable seed corn into the ground when he knows that it is going to bring a good est in the fall. The harvest of re- turns from the school tax Investments are just as sure. Next, you want to get a good teacher and pay him or her enough to keep him with the school not merely for one term but as long as he can do good work. Fin- ally, get these practical courses in- Let the boys learn the scientific principles that will have practical application in farm life. Let the girls learn the principles of do- science. And let both boys and girls give a proper amount of time to the principles of sanitation and to live right and how to keep well. Let your school give adequate training along these three practical lines then ground the student thoroughly in the Three It's, and if the parents have done their part, you need have no fear as to the sort of men and women your com- will turn Pro- Farmer. CITIES This Sizes It Up. The manufacturer wants a high tariff, the importer wants free trade, the government wants tax money, and the pays the freight. Charlotte Observer. Using School Buildings Out of School Hours. Not many years ago we closed our school house doors at four o'clock, and allowed them to remain closed on Saturdays, Sundays and during the summer vacation. In other words, an immense amount of valuable prop- belonging to the people, and needed by the people, was put to only half of its possible use. Now we are changing all that; we have waked up to the fact that the schools may and should be a common meeting ground, and the movement for a wider use of the school plant is spreading over the country. At present, in more than one hundred cities of the United States school buildings and property are be- systematically used to further the social life of the people. The root of the movement lies deep down In the growing realization that those upon whom falls the heat and burden of the day have a right to more than mere existence. The toil- of the world have been for creatures of the blind necessity of laws, but in this era the policy is dead and buried. We must give our workers the chance to live; and not the least of the needs of this many-sided business living- is that of some legitimate form of play. The man who feels no joy in the passing day is only par- alive, and lowered vitality means lowered value as a social tor. The boy who has no chance to play becomes either dull or vicious.

Legal Notices The We have watched the who blow with a good deal of inter- est, some amusement and a degree of pity. They make a confidant of everybody they meet and tell how much business they are doing and how much money they are making and what rosy prospects are right In front of them. They suppress no detail but make a clean breast of all their transactions except their losses. Not many years since we encountered one of these prosperous who talked so loud about his amazing success that a couple of drummers sitting near heard every word he said. After he left the car they remarked that they did not en- joy the pleasure of his acquaintance but they were willing to wager any reasonable amount that his capital stock was wind. It turned out even so. The magnate collapsed and his creditors held the bag. The man who is really doing things has lit- to say about it. There is some- thing else doing his talking, rather than his tongue. He goes quietly on his way and pushes his and the world soon discovers that is somebody. We have re- heard of a farmer who has been making a mighty stir in the world, and whose fortune was reckoned in five figures by people at a distance; but his neighbors say that he is simply a gas bag, and that his debts arc his biggest possessions. The same thing is largely true in the moral realm. The man of modest worth who never parades himself or his at- is usually the man who is doing things for the uplift of the race.
