Good Dirt Roads Neecel.

Il is doubtful IL there is a county in the
state 50 poorly provided with good roads as
this. Except the toll roads there are none
that have received much attention. 1t is
about impossible to haul heavy loads upon
them, and there is 10 satisfaction in driving
upon them.
If good roads were constructed the lands
Of the county would be placed under cult
walton very quickly. The forests aud
swamps would give way to truck farms,
which pay handsomely. With good roads
Chatham county would become the richest
farming county in the state
Why not adopt the policy Of building five
miles of road each year, The number Of
miles might be increased as the county in
creased in wealth and population. The
thing is to make a beginning The people
would willingly submit to a small tax for
road building purposes.
Floyd county has set an example for this
and other counties. In that county the
county commissioners decided TO employ
convict labor In improving the roads. What
has been the RESULT Nine roads, having q
total length Of fifty miles, have been built.
The cost Of these roads has been $4,000
$1,000 per mile. The roads are thoroughly
graded aud drained and macadamized.
There are no such roads anywhere else
In this state, and it is doubtful il
there are better roads anywhere in any other
state They will last generation without
much repairing. The nine roads are to be
extended year after year until the whole
county has good roads. And the county is
improving wonderfully. People like to
live where there are good roads.
This is a matter the county commissioners
ought to give their attention to at once.
With good drainage and good roads Chat
ham county would become a county of vii
lagos, gardens and truck farms.

The state Campaign.

The democratic campaign in this state
that will end with the election on Wednes-
day has been active aud vigorous. The
democrats have not had such a shaking up
in years. They had 80 little opposi-
ton for a number Of years that
they paid comparatively little atten-
ton to political matters after the
nominations were made. Il has been diff
/ fereut this year. The Peoples party has
succeeded in creating the impression That it
! has considerable strength. The democrats,
therefore, have been doing very effectiv g
work in order to bring out their full vote.
There is no doubt, Of course, that the
democrats will carry the state. The only
question is, how large will their majority be !
No effort should be spared to make it large
enough to convince the Peoples party that
it cannot carry the state in November.
That party should not be permitted to carry
single county. 1t will not carry one If
every democrat does his duty. The demo-
crat who remains away from the polls on
Wednesday, without a satisfactory excuse,
will deserve the severess party censure.
The leaders OF the Peoples party are de-
pending a good deal upon the help promised
by the republicans. They are going to be
disappointed in that respect. the repub-
licans. especially the blacks, do not take
kindly to the Peoples party. The blacks
understand that they have nothing to hope
for from that party, and that their votes
are sought simply to defeat the democratic
party. Their experience teaches them that
they are likely to fare better under the con-
tinued rule Of the Democratic party than they
would under the rule Of the Peoples party.
They have watched the administration Of
Gov. Northen aud they are satisfied with IL.
They have received their full share Of the
school money and have been fully protected
in all their rights. The most Intelligent Of the
oolored people in all parts OF the state have
expressed their intention to assist in electing
Gov, Northern.
Some Of the republican leaders would like
to throw the whole republican vote to the
ticket Of the Peoples party. They are not
looking out for the welfare of the blacks.
Their sole object is to break up the Dem
ocratic party, because they think II they
can do that the way will be open for the Re-
publican party to get firm foothold ia this
and other southern states. In this cam
palgn, however, the will of these republican
leaders will not be needed. The present ad-
vices are that the majority of the blacks are
going to vote with the democrats.
Only two days remain for campaign
speeches, but effective work can be done on
the day of election. In every county in the
state every earnest and active democrat
should consider it his duty to hunt up
Iukewarm democrats, if such are to be
found, and urge them to vote. The bigger
the democratic majority the greater the
help to the cause of democracy Let the
democratic majority be so big that the
Peoples party will not have the audacity to
raise he cry of fraud,

A Gamblers Deck as Tex

There was a sensational and enthusiastic
gathering at Cobb's Greek, near Pascal, Pa on
the occasion Of a baptism of four converts into
the Macedonia Baptist church of North street,
Paschal, on Sunday, says the Baltimore Anteri-
can. The services were conducted by Rev. ]
Murphy, The colOred evangelist. The converts
all marched down from the church to the river
edge, distance of five squares, with choir of
stoRers and band of music
Previous TO the services party Of card play
ers were surprised and chased by the police on
the bridge spanning the river. In their flight
they dropped pack of cards Into the river, and
they came floating down the creek lust as the
services were about to commence. Mr.. Muir
ply, with long pole, pulled t1em In toward
the shore, and made them the text Of his dis.
course.
Here comes the four OF hearts" he SAID
This represents tho four gospes-Matthew
Mark, Luke and John. Here is the five of clubs
This represents the five wise virgins, who had
their lamps trimmed and burning This nine
of spades represents the ten cured of lep-
rosy, OF whom nine went away without
giving THANKS for the cure Here is the ten of
diamonds. This represents the glorious law of
humanlty-the ten commandments. The next
card which was pulled ashore was the two
OF hearts, and that, the preacher said repre-
sented the Father and the Son. Here the cards
had nearly all gone past, and lad from the
other side of the creek shouted:
Say, mister. where's the jokerf" Mr. Murphy,
looking up at him, replied: AYE, that is the
fool who has just spoken"

The Episcopal General Convention.

The Episcopal General Convention,
The general convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church is 60 be held In Baltimore
this month. Besides bringing together a
large number OF clerRymen and Iaymen
whose deliberations are likely to be Of inter
est to the general public on account of the
questions that are being discussed by Epis-
copal church people, the convention will be
OF especial interest to these "of the faithn
because of several important church mat
tiers that will be considered. Chief among
these matters the question OF liturgical re-
vision will come up for definite settlement.
This question has been before the church
since 1880. when a committee was appointed
to report on certain liturgical changes which
were deemed desirable. The report was
submitted to the convention OF 1888. bu
was continued until 1889 when 1t was ap-
proved and left to be passed upon by the
convention of this year.
When che prayer book in its new form
shall have been adopted, the convention
will consider the adoption of new hymnal
which matter has also been In the hands OF
committee for some time. In the new
hymnal it has been the aim of the commit
tee TO include only those hymns which are
devotional or doctrinal, leaving out the
purely emotional hymns, with which the
old book abounds.
The question Of the abolition of the
thirty-nlne articles and Of the division of
the United States into provinces will also
come up. So that with these matters Of
leading importance before it, together with
the numerous minor patters Of interest that
will arise, the approaching convention will
be one Of much moment to chuEch people
and an occasion Of interest to the public
generally.

Atktnson's Reply to Irwin

The reply OF Mr.. Atkinson, chairman of
the democratic state committee, to the de-
mand Of Mr.. Irwin. chairman Of the state
| committee Of the Peoples party, for an
| equal division Of the managers Of the state
| election will be very generally regarded by
fair-minded men as being in every respect
an appropriate one. MIR. Irwin based his
demand on the assumption that the mana
gers appointed in accordance with the law
would not be fair and honest in the dis.
charge Of their duties. This assumption
Mr. Atkinson very naturally repels with
considerable emphasis. He declares there is
nothing either in the history of he state or
i'll the character Of her people to justify it.
Mr.. Irwin addressed a letter to Gov. Nor
then similar to the one addressed to Mr..
Atkinson. He knew, of course, that neither
of these gentlemen is clothed with the au-
thorlty he asked them to exercise. They
certainly would not undertake to exercise
such authority without the right to do So
Any interference on their part with the
local authorities who, under the law, ap-
point the managers, would be reflection on
the integrity aud good faith of those au-
thorities.
1t is pretty safe to say that Mr.. Irwin did
not expect his demand would be granted.
1t is much like the demands of his party-it
is unreasonable. Why, then, did he make
It'll The answer to this question is found in
bis reference to recent Alabama frauds 8"
The Kolbites in Alabama have been assert
ing that they we're cheated out of their vic
tory in that state In the August election.
They have never been able to show they
won victory, or that frauds were
committed by which they suffered. Their
simple assertions amount to nothing. For
the defeated party to assert that its defeat
was due to fraud is neither dificult nor I'm
| usual.
Mr.. Twins purpose in making the de-
mand was doubtless to lay a foundation for
charging fraud in next Wednesdays cleo.
ton. The election will be so open and fair.
however, that the charge will be without
effect. 1t will be believed only by those
who want to believe it, Those who are
willing to abide by the result of the cleo
tion will have no room to complain Of the
election managers.
