An Important Work.

We give elsewhere some account OF the
proceedings on Thursday last at Buffalo
Springs, i'll Mccklenburg, concerning the
reconstruction Of the Roanoke Valley rail-
road. 1t will interest those who reflect at
all upon the means Of restoring prosperity
TO Virginia.
The people who live upon the line ofthat
road are offered a great benefit for a low
price. Only $1,000 d mile is asked Of them,
and that not in money, but In land, railroad
ties, lab~or-anything that may be employed
in the making and running a railroad. Inc
rompany who bought the road bed lonce IL
great part equipped, but denuded during
the war propose to put in 1t Stoo,oVo' ask
ing from the people dwelling along thf
thirty.one miles OF road, only S93,NO. II
would take that, us one of the orators al
Buffalo said, to build u turnpike.
AS important as that road is to the peo
plc OF the Roanoke valley il is quite Il de.
sideratum with us. 1t is upon the
line of direct communication between
Richmond and Central North and South
Carolina, and. its reconstruction will
turf out to be the beginning of a
most important line Of railway-one
that will ultimately repay its stock
holders a fine profit upon their invest
ments. We trust that the efforts of Messrs.
WOOD and Holt will be cordially sustained.
The road when built will reward the peo-
pie for what they may do for it a hundred
fold. 1t will increase the value of their
lands, and give new life and thrift to all
their labors. @

Good Roads.

We irust the public mind viii not bc too
much concentrated upon railroads. ihc
country wagon and carria@c-ways ou%ht I"
divide public attention with the railways.
These country roads are III IN abolnlnapie
condition al the present time, from II
neglect. They were cut up by the trans
portation trains of the war, and nave not
since been put in order. They must grow
worse instead of better, unless they arc
Graded and archcd and ditched. Many OF
them are so out Of order that 1t Will take i
six-horse team to pull over them wh1t oh
A good road two horses may easily ORA"
after them.
Nothing so much improves the appear
ancc of a country AS good roads ana, next
to building n railroad through a section,
nothing so much enhances the value OF lands
as good turnpikcs. Our people complain
that they cannot find buyers for their lands.
They are obliged to hold large bodies, pay
in. taxes upon them, without being able
to cultivate more than 4 fifth OF their sur
face. They do not see why it is that there
are no BUYERS. TIE causes are several, but
bad roads is one of them, and 1t is one tbat
nav be easily removed. A few days now
and then appropriated to repairing them
will nav the farmer better than any other
labor he can perform. To haul his pro-
ducc with ease and promptness to the
railroad stations is 4 great point in
his domestic economy. Good roads will
enable him to do this, and they will save
the wear and tear OF his wagons and avoid
straining and injuring his horses. In some
sections the condition of the roads Is such
that it is Impossible sometimes TO carry pro-
ducc that is ready for market to the depot.
The farmer is deprived of means, while he
has that which would bring him tho cash
blocked up by impossible roads.
In a section of country where roads arc
out of order the wagons arc always break
ing down, and the smith and wlicelwrlsht
take a large share OF the farmers gains.
Delay, delay, in all the matter OF trans
portation, and In coming and going, i the
consequence in that community. Both
trade and social intercourse are obStructed,
and the general Improvement which is en-
gcndcrcd by intercourse-thc suggestions
Of mental collision, indeed, ciyilization-is
retarded. Then there Is the pleasure that
il derived from looking upon and riding
over wcll-ordercd roads, which 50 drcSs-up
and adorn a%country, and tell such a good
story for the industry and practical wisdom
OF the people who inlIab!t it.
TO sell lands the good road is The best
real estate agent in the world. 10 beautify
a country and facilitate the movements of
country tratiic-to cheaper the cost Of
ncichhOrhood tlanSportation-to preserve
wagons and diminish the expense of their
Wear and tear-to keep farmers cheerful
and cause their business to move glibly and
steadily, well graded and we'll kept roads |
are invaluable.
Let the people of the country vigorously |
enforce the road law; and twelve months I
will tell Il story that will more than verify !
every thing we have said in this article.

RALEIGH, n. u, July ~, 1914:
According to programme. there was \
,rr,nd mass meeting Of the Conservatives OF
this (Wakc) county at Metropolitan 1iali,
in this city, last night.
Hon. A. s. Merriman and Green II: Al
ford. two of the Conservative candidates
from this county for the Convention, adj
dressed A large audience Of about 2,0W per-
,oDs, consisting principally OF merchah's'
mechanics, and farmers.
Judging from the enthusiasm that pre-
vailed on the occasion your corres!oIueh
il of the opinion that "~Convention" 10 de-
cidcdlv the most popular side at the ques-
tinn in this vicinity. and should the people
throughout North Carolina be as thofoughiy
aroused upon this question nsthey are mere
abouts, we may expect to roll up an unprece-
deuted majority for Convention on the nrst
Thursday in August.
The galleries of the Hall were graced Dy
the presence of a eoodly number OF ~ col
nred fallow-citiZcns, who, with the whites
present. listened attentivelr to the whole
some advice this gifted son OF old North
Carolina (Hon. A. S. Merriman) gave them
i'm q spccch of two hours duration upon a
snl,iect of most vital Importance TO THIS
people-(the calling of a state ConVentlon)
Mr.. Afford opencd the ball in a short but
]telJino spcech. followed by Hon. a. S.
Merrinan, who arose amid great applause:
This soon subsidized into silence so profound
that the lowest whisper of the speaker
could be heard through the entire hall. ,
Mr.. Merriman proceeded In eloquent
terms to portray the true condition OF The
North Carolinians at the present time, ana
poiuted out to his hearers the necessity OIL
= convention to rid themselves OF the
heavy burden imposed upon them by the
present Constitution. IT,
Your correspondent regrets his Inability
to re produce this speech in full, and there
fore will not even attempt to give Il synop-
sis, for fear of doing the speaker great in
Justice. Suffice it to say, it was a mastery
effort. and no doubt the banner speech OF
the campaign.
The candidates composing the ConServa'
tive ticket for this county are rs follows:
Hon. Thos. Bragg, Hon. ID. M. Barringer,,
Hon. A. 5. Merrlman, and Green IL. AL
ford.
With such names as the above at our mast
head. there need be no fear OF breakers.
With a new Constitution, framed 10 sun
the necessities of the people, and such men
at the helm of State, North Carolina Will be
stcered safely into port, forming a nucleus
around which her sister States may cluster,
and be pointed to as an example for others
TO follow. :"

Plague and Famine.

For some time we have had accounts of
the most distressing character from Persia,
of the prevalence Of pestilence and famine
at the came time. Hardly any lard has SUI
tered within 4 century so severely as Persia
is now represented to suffer. This awful
condition prevails i'll the provinces known
collectively rs khnraSSan. such Is the eA-
trcmc state of destitution there, that the
wrctchcd% survivors are often driven TO dc-
vouring the dead bodies to sustain their
own lives. A worse story than this even Is
told. People are put to death, it is said, to
feed the furnishing.
The Turkish Government has taken tardy
measures to check the inroad Of the plague
upon its dominions. But cholera cannot lie
stopped in its course. 1t travels upon the
winds. The outcry in Persia has before
now been the forcrunncr OF the appearance
of cholera in Europe and America. AT
least we should profit by the warning and
maintain as rigidly rs possible the purity OF
the air by the cleanliness of our cities.
While these terrible walls from the East
are striking upon our ears. Il pamphlet Is
given TO the public by Rev. Mr.. ASH, chap-
lain of the British legation at Bucnos
Ayres, giving the horrid details Of tie latc
pestilence in that city. Out Of $50. 900 reo-
pie about two.thirds fled and 10000 per-
iShed. The fish in the river Plate died
from The poison in the waters. And the
people were compelled to drink The water
of the river. the water of the wells bcin"
uncomfortable !; and it WIS made 50 because
there were no means of drainage in the
city. On the 10th Of April there were $40
intermcnts. On the 10Th the mortality be-
gan riSihly to decline. 1t will take years
for the city to recover from the calamity.
