epeeimen Sections Of Good Roads Would
Help the Cause Along.

Help the Cause Along.
While there lis room for honest differ
ence Of opinion as to the methods Of
roadbuilding, the greatest obstacle to
improvement in this direction is the
stubborn and disoouraging fact that
good roads cost money. Farmers shy at
increased taxes for road purposes and
usually manage to defeat any effective
legislation looking to q better road sys.
tenn. A small road tax is levied every
year, which may be paid in money or
work, at the option Of the taxpayer, and
this is expended in repairing mere clay
roadways, which are always just as bad
after the fall and spring wet weather
as before the repairs were made. The
aggregate amount Of money expended
on the older highways of the country
would have provided permanent roads
long ago if wisely expended under com:
petent direction at any one time, but
having been expended in annual drib-
let's, with no intelligent foresight, the
money has been as good as thrown away
1t is evident that the only two prac-
tioal forms Of road agitation must be
in the direction of specimen sections Of
road in as many localities as possible
and the education Of the taxpayers to
the economy Of better roads. A speci.
men mile of good road in every town
ship would result eventually in univer.
sally good roads. for the specimen mile
would prove convincing educator.
If the good road reformers will con-
struct specimen good roads in the Sec
tions in which they reside, the good
roads revolution will be given an imme-
diate and irresistible impetus It is not
more good roads agitation that is need
ed, but more good roads. .-Philadelphia

Good Roads Aid Progress.
Civilization is ever creating new in
dustries or remodeling the old ones, so
that the great magnet -progress-keeps
them drawn up to the needs Of the peo-
pie. Why her influence is not shed alike
on the subject of roadbuilding, so vast
and varied and so in continual use as
to be master element in our material
prosperity, is inscrutable. If we meas
ure life by accomplishments rather
than by years, as claimed by one of our
foremost writers, our highways make
our country sprawling infant. and
practically they render her people al
most as helpless. ss.-Charleston News and

off at once to San Juan diggings. He

''He told us that often, while on the

"Withouu further serious adventure
my brother had returned home by way
Of Callao, thence to Panama, then across
the isthmus again, and so by an Allan

An Easter Entertainment.

Easter Sunday will long be remembered
by the Olive Street Episcopal Mission
Sunday school as being one of the most
pleasant times spent during its short ex-
iStence of only six months. The school,
numbering S., assembled at p, m. and
after preparing wreaths and bouquets,
were driven TO st. Marks Cathedral
where they participated in the grand
Easter celebration of the Sunday schools
of st. Johu, st. Marks and its Missions.
Each school was given a room in the
deanery in which TO form in line and from
there, led by the choriSterS. marched into
the cathedral during the singing Of the
professional hymn, He is risen, He is
risen" A very handsome large white ban
ner, with the cross and this Inscription,
Christ has Arisen" GLORY to our King,
was carried bp Miss Eta Hager, who was
assisted by little Misses Gertrude Fits
and Susie England, who carried large
bouquets Otwhite roses, attached to which
were white ribbons supporting the banner
on either side.
After a short service and the singing OF
carols, a large cross which had been
| placed in the chancel was decorated with
wreaths, each one representing class,
| Golden harpS are sounding" was then
sung by all the schools, after which Dean
Richardson addressed the school in a
most appropriate manner.
| The choir then sang "Oh earth on Eas-
ter morning" the Sunday schools Joining
in the chorus. The usual Easter offering
was then taken up. Two children were
selected from each school; little Miss
Laura Carlysle and Lydia Bull repre-
sented the Olive street mission school,
and presented the offering in floral
basket. More carols were then
sung, when Col. Young, superin-
tendent OF ST. Marks Sunday school,
presented to one in each class in his
school very nice book as a reward for
good lessons and attendance. After the
| closing service and the singing of the re-
cessional hymn, Christ the Lord is risen
today" by all the school, they again
marched TO the deanery where they were
taken in charge by the teachers. The
children of the Olive Street Mission were
then driven to their Sunday school room
where each child was presented with
Easter eggs and a handsome Easter card,
after which Mrs. Raider very kindly
| treated the school to some delicious cake
After a unanimous vote of thanks tC
Mrs. Raider for her thoughtfulness OF anC
| kindness to us, an Appropriate hymn was
sung, when our Easter celebration closed
which was by some the most pleasant
Easter ever spent aud one to be long re-
mem bered by all.
