Mr.. WALTER r. HENRY is seeking
the position of consul general to Rio
the place now held by Oliver
Dockery. Mr.. Henry deserves we'll
at the hands of the Democratic party
of North Carolina and of the new
administration. He has never been
an Office holder. White always willing
to do his part in campaign work, he
has never before looked to the party
for recompense. And in this instance,
after brilliant campaign, he seeks
chiefly honorable recognition. The
emoluments certainly will be very
acceptable, for he is poor man but
hey ond that, he seeks to crafty a
laudable ambition. 1t is honorable
to hold responsible Office where the
person is deserving, is meritorious, is
fit and competent and has by his zeal
and efforts won title to recognition.
And such are the circumstances under
which Mr.. Henry makes his applica-
ton.
He is man of unusual ability; of
great powers; Of high character and
he is an interchangeable worker. Among
the many who did such valiant service
during the last campaign, he took
rank with the first.
We should be glad to see him
honored by the appointment he seeks.

ABOUT SPELLING.

We agree with our able and discreet
brother Caldwell, of the Charlotte o.
str0er, that it does not augur we'll 70.
the proper education Of the rising
generation to see Webster's old "Blue
Back spelling book relegated to a
back seat in our schools and colleges,
Corret spelling is very essential to a
good practical education. In making
some comments recently about the
'fea,s' of Mr.. ]. J. Allen as speller,
the Observer said it did not know
that gentleman but it would "bank''
on him because he stuck to the old
"Bluc Back" The Burlington Herald
brings up the question of correct SPELL
ing in the following manner:
One of the things that should be
taught, and taught throughly, in the
preparatory schools of the State is
spelling. There is sad deficiency in
this, one OF the most important
branches of learning. This deficiency
is found among our professional
and business men as we'll as among
some Of the advanced students in our
higher educational institutions. There
recently came to our notice a manu-
script article, sbly written, and other
wise carefully prepared, but the merit
Of which was spoiled by poor spelling.
This writer, pupil in the higher
forms of State college, speaking OF a
lions name spelled it "main,' and in
"retreating a few PAGES" he had the
bad grace to make it "pasis.''

THE NEED OF BETTER ROADS.


Everywhere throughout the State
the question of better public highways
is being vigorously discussed. Both
press and public are alive to the I'M
por,ance and necessity of better roads.
The time has come for a change. The
present system is 4 farce and our
county roads are disgrace to clvlll-
zation. The Public Road Congress IN
Raleigh last week was move IN the
right direction and the GOLD LEAF
hopes for good results to grow out of
it. The present Legislature should
take hold Of the matter and give US
something better than the present
farcical and unsatisfactory law. Ger
tainly this body should not adjourn
without taking some practical steps IN
the direction OF good highways IN
| North Carolina.
The discussion OF this question
naturally brings up the subject OF
emplying the criminal labor OF the
State in the improvement Of the high
ways, and this phase of the question
will receive serious consideration. The
necessity of providing some useful EN-
ployment for the inmates of our jails
can no longer be disregarded and
their employment in the work of max
ing good roads seems to be the most
valuable branch of labor that could be
adopted. TO employ them in the
various trades is sure TO encounter the
opposition of honest " linen, who
look upon prison labor ~ all unjust
competition with them !. their efforts
to earn an honest livelihood, but en-
ployment at road building is not SO
thoroughly open to this objection.
R DAD building is costly operation,
and all that could be done cheaply by
convict labor would be regarded as SO
much gained by the community with
out in any manner infringing upon the
premises of honest labor, which might
possibly fail to secure an additional
days work, or earn an extra dollar ii
the convict labor had not been thus
employed. In other words, the road
work OF the convicts would be such as
otherwise would not be done at all !,
and, therefore, so much gained at a
comparatively small cost. The sub
ject is one we'll worthy the careful at
tention of the General Assembly.

THE ROAD CONGRESS-.

RALEIGH, N. G., Jan. 20, 1895.
The STATE Road Congress met in
Raleigh yesterday. Gov. Carr, as
his first official act, opened the Con
gress. More than 900 delegates were
present representing 80 counties.
Hon. c. B. Watson, of Winston, was
elected permanent chairman and DR..
H. B. Battle permanent secretary.
Gov. Holt addressed the Congress in
appropriate words. Many papers OF
great value were presented and resolu-
tions looking to the improvement OF
public roads were introduced and
referred to committee on resolu-
tions composed Of two from each Con
gressional district. After full consul
tation, this committee made their re-
port, the following being a summary:
That the public roads should be main
tanned both by taxation and by those
subject to road duty, also by the con-
victs from the various counties through
the county authorities or the peni,en
tiary-the expense of maintaining
them to be borne by the counties or as
the Legislature may direct. Also that
each county or group of counties
should employ competent engineer
or expert in road building and own
improved road machinery.
The plan of the National League for
Good Roads was outlined and the
organization and establishment of a
State Association and Township
League to cooperate with the National
League was left with the following
committee; Messrs. Chas. McNamee,
J. V. Wilson, F. H. Busbee, ]. A.
Holmes, w. E. Audrey. This COM
uittee was also instructed to confer
with the committee from both branches
Of the General Assembly now in sesr
sion.
Much enthusiasm and interest pre-
vailed in the proceedings of the Con-
gress. 1t was a conservative body but
was determined on some change look
ing to the improvement of the public
roads of the State. The personnel of
the body represented the best men Of
the State. Such interest augurs we'll
for the future welfare of the State for
it was conceded that improved roads
was question of the first importance
to all our people. VANCE.
