BECAUSE the Executive Committee of
the Good Roads Convention is laboring
in the public interest to quicken the spirit
of good road construction, it is charged
in some quarters with having selfish and
unworthy ends in view. 1t is singular,
indeed, that no matter how much may be
done out of pure public spirit and honest
pride in locality to advance the common
interest, there will nearly always be
selfish public service as to charge the
philanthropic workers with ulterior and
dishonest designs. Mean suspicion usu-
ally has its roost in the low moral ground
work of those who entertain it.
II is advanced in defense of the grant
of saloon licenses in residence districts of
the city that no protests were filed. But
should this be necessary? Should not
the people be justified in relying upon
protests filed some time ago? Must the
residence sections be kept upon the jump
20 prevent the location of corner saloons
where not wanted? Is it to be assumed
that without protest a license must issue,
no matter where the proposed mill is to
be located or what its character? We sub
nit that this is not the right policy for a
city municipal legislature to adopt.

The Peaceful South, the Lawless North.
| Wilmington Messenger. ]

When the great coal strike took
place last April it extended to but few
Southern coal mines, and while there
was much lawlessncss and rioting by
the strikers in other sections there was
but very little of that in the South.
When the different COntingents of
the Coxey army were organized to
march on Washington not single one
went from the South. Senator Daniel
tells of an incident that occurred while
the Coxey gang was maneuveIng
about the Capital. Hon. I. B. Reed
was standing on a portico beside a
Southern brigadier viewing the parade.
Turning to the Southerner he asked,
"What do you think of that?" The
reply was, This is the happleSt day
of my life There is not single white
or black man from the South in that
crowd. They are all from the pro-
lection States of the West and North. J"
Mr.. Reed had no more questions to
ask
Also the great railroad strike has
scarcely made an impression on the
South save the harm it has done
Southern fruit growers, who have been
cut off from their usual market by it.
And there has been no strike, no dis
order, no destruction of property in
the South. All this must have the
effect of putting the South as section
of quiet, peace, security and regard
tor law, in an enviable light

A NJ MECHANICAL HEN.
The Profits Of fredericksburg by IN
cubatiOn.
[Chicago Mail. J

The profits of raising chickens by
means Of incubators and breeders is
apparently quite large. The smallest
sized incubator costs twenty-five dol
lars. with oil lamp and all other neces-
saries complete, and is good for one
gross of eggs. They are, of course,
we'll selected, and may cost twenty
cents dozen just now. The eggs are
deposited on plates which can be made
to revolve by a touch, but owing to
the eggs being equally exposed on all
sides and the temperature being al
ways maintained at the same level,
the trouble Of turning the eggs which
atflicts the domestic hen is spared to
the owner Of the machine, 1t takes
from nineteen to twenty-one days to
turn out the perfected brood of chicks,
and no gain has yet been made on the
efforts of the well-disposed hen in the
matter Of time records. At two months
the chickens are worth quarter apiece
for culinary purposes, OF, if duck eggs
have been experimental with, the
pecuniary returns are larger. Ducks
take few days more to hatch. The
young birds are placed at birth under
the brooder or nursing mother, cast
iron construction much resembling the
incubator and warmed in the same
manner by oil or gas. Under the
shade of this substitute for the spread
ing wings of the maternal hen the
chicks thrive and grow. The cost Of
food is inconsiderable and the profits
must be large. The incubators and
brooders are built of sheet iron or tin,
are about three feet high and eight in
circumference, and take up as much
room as an ordinary -four barrel

The Press OF North Carolina has
been the steadfast friend ofpubl.c edu-
cation and good morals. 1t has done
what it could to promote all public
Improvements. The State owes much
to her papers-more than she Will ever
repay. The people, also, owe a great
deal, and they should see that the OBJ
legations are liquidated. We have too
often expended time, labor and money,
for others, forgetful of our own neces-
sites. We have pushed the politicians
forward and they have forgotten US.
We have made enemies in order to
advance the fortunes Of our friends,
and these friends have sometimes
Joined hands with our enemies. Not
one OF us has been too poor TO bestow
charities, which no other calling or
profession would ever dream Of bestow-
ing.
In our business we must weed out
dead beats, advertising frauds and
newspaper impostors. In our public
works we must root out sloth, crime,
Incidence, ignorance, fogysm, torpor
and stagnation. In doing it we will
strike many twisted knots and gnarly
roots. We will strike stunps that
lightning can't injure and defy opposl-
ton and stand in the way of improve
ment But we must pull them out.
We must dig deep and get under and
roll them all over and clear the way
for vigorous, healthy crop--an IN
dependent and seIt-respectiug press
with all the attributes of high and
honorable profession.

ers OF such thoroughbred varieties as
the Leghorn, the Minorcas, the Span
ish or the Hamburgs. My choice
would be the Brown Leghorn. The
other varieties Just named are all good
layers, and there are some breeds that
l have not named that are good layers,
but with me the Brown Leghorn stands
first. The weight Of testimony from
the general poultry fraternity is in
favor of the Leghorn as the best layer
of all. SO then, / would get Brown
Leghorn cocks and mate them with the
common hens of the farm. This ]
would do for economy's sake the first
year, instead Of buying LeghOrn hens
too.
The pullets from such mating
would lay much younger than their
dunghill mothers, and lay at least one
third more eggs a year. a common
hen lays on the average ninety eggs
in 365 days, whereas a purebred Leg
horn hen lays from $50 to 275 eggs in
the same length of time. Nearly twice
as many as the dunghill. These are
well attested facts.
1t is true that in the market "an
egg is an egg and one egg is as good
as another, provided it is not bad
egg But it can not be denied, gentle
men, that two eggs are better than
one, and worth just twice as much,
too This is the point for us to keep
in view in grading up the farm poultry
We want more eggs, and the way to
get them is to introduce the blood OF
the best laying stock among our COM
mon hens.
would take the grade or half-breed
pullets Of the first crossing and mate
them the second year with other pure
bred Brown Leghorn cocks and would
continue that system of mating until
the farm hens should be elevated to
the standard Of pure Leghorns in blood
and laying characteristics.
This course would, in a few years.
cause two eggs to be found where only
one is found to-day, and result in a
general increase in the value OF the
farm poultry of the future quite beyond
calculation.
Where large market chickens and
grade Leghorn pullets are both desired
on the same farm, they may be easily
raised by simply mating part OF the
common hens with cock of the larger
breeds, and part with Leghorn cock.

Talk about tale. 1t Is the most I'M
portant adjunct Of modern corrupt
civilization, or as civilization IS now
praCtiCed. 1t is also the most delete
rious in It's effects upon, not exactly
civilization, but that which COnduces
TO civilization, and that is good health.
The largest body of accessible
workable-talc now known IN the
world, is in Cherokee county, North
Carolina.
Tale is soapstone. 1t is white
like Parian marble or sperm tallow,
and is unCtuous to the touch of the
fingers, translucent and ordOrless.
While it is in the earth in blocks and
." hunks like marble it is soft and
easily powdered INTO fine dust like
-four. Therein lies the rub. Like
marble it is heavy in weight, even
though powdered.
There is an immense tale establish
ment in Cherokee county, n. c., the
main one in all the world. During
the last few years the right to owner
ship of the concern has been figuring
in some of the courts of Atlanta, ca,
Recently they had trial of the own
ershlp rights there, which lasted several
days, and the jury in the case was
"out all night" The case has figured
as an inter State case in more ways
than one. 1t involves over a hundred
thousand dollars in the works
Our present article about II Is To
call attention TO the uses of tale. We
stated it weighs heavy. 1t Is used to
put in sugar and flour. Large
quantities of it are shipped to the East
and West to the one for sugar III the
refineries, and the other for flour in the
big roller mills. The flour and sugar
are sold by weight. This is all there
is in it.
