1t may seem strange. tut it
is nevertheless true, that alcohol
regularly applied to the thrifty
famer'S stomach will remove
the boards from fence, let the
cattle into his crops, kill his
fruit trees, mortgage his farm
and SOW his field with wild oats
and thistles. It will take the
print off his buildings, break
the glass out of them and fill
them with rags. It will take
the gloss from his cloths and
the polish from his manner,
subdue his r-ason, arouse his
passions, bring sorrow and dis
grace upon his family and
toppla him into . drunkard's
grave.-Ex.

Eence. have studied the policy
and promises of the advocates of
protection, and actual evidence, on

l have seen it to be an actual

protection, every hour of honest

the degree of such advantage being
contingent upon the completeness

Road CONGRESS,

Recently the Georgia Road Con-
gress assembled in Atlanta, COM
posed of delegates from every
county in the state, and was subse-
quently merged into the Southern
Road Congress, composed of dele
gates from all the Southern states.
Finally, next month, the National
Road Congress will meet in Pitts
burg. The purpose of all these
meetings is the same--to protest
against existing country highways
and to inaugurate means for their
betterment.
In 1855 an act of the English
Parliament stated in its preamble
that the roads of the kingdom were
tedious and noisome to travel on.
There was truth in the allegation,
and the phrase fifty describes the
condition of rural thoroughfares in
the south. 1t is mystery why an
Independent, energetic and self.
reliant people will submit to such
facilities for transporting produce
to market or for other purposes of
transit. Road improvement is one
of the things everywhere conceded
as necessary, and agitation of the
subject has brought public opinion
along to the point of asking how it
may be done.
1t appears to us that certain facts
have been established, and that
road reforms must proceed upon
the principles which they signifi-
cantly point out. One of them is
that good highways are as impor-
tant to material progress as rail-
roads are. No one would think of
saying now that railroads are not
useful. Their impetus to trade
and business is everywhere recog-
nized, and the development of the
new states Is visible proof that easy
transit gives money value to every
thing IN the vicinity of railroad.
The same would be true of broad,
dry and hard country roads.
Again, good roads are more eco
nomical than those of the opposite
kind. Every pound added to the
strain of horses OF mules in haul
ing farm produce to market means
expense in food to the animals, in
heavy harness and wagons. Good
roads would enable many farmers
to keep less draught animals, and
