Our county roads are disgrace TO
our present civilization. The road
on the south side of the Kanawha,
is in such condition that it cannot
be travelled at all. The CIarksburg
road is full of slips and washouts,
and farmers cannot get to town, and
all the other roads in the county are
equally US bad. While we have no
roads worthy of the name, the coun-
ty cOnrt continues to pile up the
road taxes from year to year that a
lot of incapable and incompetent
road surveyors may make a living
out of the road fund. The taxes
levied for road purposes in this
county, is sufficient, if properly and
judiciously handled, to pike every
road in the county. But it will con
tinue as it is as long as the county
court persists in appointing incom.
petent men TO be road surveyors
Not all of the road surveyors are
incompetent, but where thereis one
that is fit for the position, there arc
ten who are not. In appointing
road surveyors tho county court
should select practical and compe.
tent men, who would not have fol-
their uppermost idea, show much
can make this year out of the road
fund, and do as little work as posi-
BILE upon the roads in nay precinct?'

I Forgot It.

A successful business man says there
were two things which he learned when
he was eighteen, which were ever after
wards of great use to him namely:
"Never to lose anything, and never to
forget anything" An old lawyer sent
him with an important paper, with
certain instructions what to do with it.
"But," inquired the young man, "sup-
pose | lose it; what shall do then p
"You must not lose it"
81 do not mean to" said the young
man, "but suppose 1 should happen
to?"
"You natstIaot happen to; l shall
make no provision for any such occur
renee. You must not lose it p
This put a new train of thought into
the young mans mind, and he found
that if he was determined to do thing
he could do it. He made such pro-
vision against every contingency that
he never lost anything. He found this
equally true about forgetting. If a
certain matter Of Importance was to be
remembered, he pressed it down on his
mind, fastened it there, and made it
stay. He used to say: "When a man
tells me that he forgot to dosomething,
l tell him he might as well have said,
4 do not care enough about your bust
ness to take the trouble to think Of it
again l once had an intelligent young
man in my employment who deemed
it sufficient excuse for neglecting any
important task, to say, 4 forgot it. |
told him that would not answer. If he
was sufficiently interested, he would be
careful to remember 1t was because
he did not care enough that he forgot
it. | drilled him with this truth. He
worked for me three years, and during
the last of the three, he was utterly
changed in this respect. He did not
forget a thing. His forgetting he
found, was lazy, careless habit Of the
mind which he cured.-America,1 Gro

Figuring Did no Good.

On Michigan Central train going
west the other day, the conductor came
to a passenger who had no ticket, and
who owned up to also being dead
broke.
"How did you pass the gate at De
troit ?" was asked.
Bought ticket to the last station
back here"
"Well, you'll have to get off"
Before you make up your mind
let me show you some figures. Here
they are: This train is now on time.
You must stop dead still to put me off.
To stop, start and get under the same
Roadway viii consume four minutes.
See? 1t is all figured out here by a
statistician."
"Iicket or money !"
"The extra fuel consumed is placed
at ninety-four cents, and you must re
port to the train dispatcher at cost of
thirty-fve cents. The delay to seventy
five passengers is put at $25. The
stopping and starting and extra strain
to make up four minutes, damage the
train 1920 worth. Now then, | only

Cant do it, sir" replied the con-
ductor as he pulled the bellrope, halted
the train and escorted the impecunious
passenger to the steps.

latter, as he dropped into the ditch.
"The railroads of this country don't
