The following from the Philadelphia
Record tells how a young scamp be
came the pet OF society by reason Of his
supposed good fortune. An instance
nearer home might be mentioned.
There was published in several local
papers about the middle Of July last, q
long narrative concerning the good for
tune Of young man named Wi,iiam J.
Carln, living at 24 Mount Vernon
street, who, SO 1t was stated, had fallen
heir to an estate lett by bis uncle, an
Australian cattle king, and valued at
s4 ,0l0, 1000. The story was told in
cii cumstantldl manner, giving history
of the alleged uncle his sudden death,
the finding of the will, the efforts of the
lawyers 10 learn the whereabouts of the
heir, and finally how Mr. Cariin wa
surprised by receiving a letter from
Tabor, II ales ( Perry, solicitors, of
II Strand. London, acquainting him
Of his good fortune. The only percep-
tlble flaw III the story was the allegation
that the cattle king (Carlin) was wit
ness FOR the claimant in the Itch borne
case, and contributed 500, 900 toward
the expenses Of that celebrated contest
both Of which statements were incor-
rect.
1t was astonishing to End how well
Mr. Carlin became known after the
news Of his great wealth had become
public property, aud how much atten-
Iion could be paid to him. Letters
flowed IN from charitable societies, beg.
2ing impostor.. and, laet but not least,
from la lies. old and young, who had
singularIy awakened to find that they
were deeply in love with the young
millionaire and anxious to unite their
fortunes with his Nearly two hun
dred unissiyes Of this character. many of
them ilc'osing photographs, were writ
ten to him. Carlin is fine looking
fellow, tail and well built. The girls
.howcrci their attentions upon him last
summer at Atlantic City, where he
spent few weeks.
Now comes disappointing turn TO
the story 1t has eked out that the
tale was fabrication. 1t originated in
the fertile brain and empty pockets Of
Lucius Maynard, Bohemian journa-
list, who skedaddled from the town in
August last after having embezzled
some $3.50 from the wife ofDr Buchan-
an One day when hard up he conceiv-
ed the story, wrote it out in circumstan-
tial style, frightened it with blazing
headlines and peddled it among the
newspaper offices until purchaser was
founl.

FOR the FARMER AND NJ ECHASIC
Our Public Roads.


that The roads of country are accu-
rate and certain test of the degree of its
civilization. Their construction is one
of the first indications of the emergcnce
of 4 people from savage state aud
their improvement keeps pace with the
advance of the nation in numbers
wealth, industry, and science of all
which 1t is at once an element and an
evidence. Judged by this standard,
North Carolina nust take her place
among the halt civilized. Let Us ex
anime into this deplorable state of af-
fairs, and see if we can find the cause
of it. There is but one place to GO
to our statutes and examine our road
laws. Before the war, we fni that the
labor of North Carolina was slave labor,
aud we find that the road laws were
borrowed from the statuc-labor' of
England and the 'corvee or ''Presta
ton en- nature, of France, and like
them, is remnant of the tunes Of fen
dal vassalage, when the people Of those
countries were nearly as complete slaves
to the Lords of the Manor as the ncgros
were of the masters here. The laboring
whites were 80 few in mum bers, or were
so easily controlled, that they submit
ted to be worked on rhe roads with the
slaves; and from this We suppose origi-
mated the idea, so prevalent IN North
Carolina, that 1T Is the duty Of the
niger and the poor white man to keep
in repair the public roads. The ne
gro, representing tax on property, the
laboring white man poll tax.

laws when the war closed After the
war the negro ceased to be property,
and not only became free man,-but a
citizen, with equal rights and equal
privileges with the whites. This nee
essitated changes in our lawsuit in
making said changes. the public road
laws were overlooked, or the North
Carolina idea was SO strong, that any
change was deemed inexpedient, and
substantially, the feudal vassalage laws
of England and France, and the old
North Carolina slave law, still remain
upon our statute book
Property before the war contributed
its tax in negro labor. Now it is ex-
empt, and this enormous tax "a tax
equal to all other taxes combined) falls
upon tHc luDOTlUg dSTlcultuflst- * III
any wonder that our roads show no i'm
provements Is it not rather won
der that they are ''passable'' at all.
Can we expect men who are the least
interested in the roads to make good
roads for the men who are most inter
ested in them. Have we not tried it
long enough to convince every one
whose conscience is not nickel plated
We think we have But as many Of
our people have not given the subject
much thought, let Us discuss some way
Of keeping in repair the public roads.
First, we will take road tax levied ia
