AMONG THE WHEELMEN

in cycling circles Is the opening of a place of resort on the Fifth avenue road near Thirty-ninth street, which is called ''The Cyeler's Rest" A large pavilion has been erected and the proprietor has an- nounced his intention of catering only to the better class of wheelmen. All kinds of soft drinks and light lunches will be served to the cyclists. A private apart ment will be set aside for the exclusive use of the members of the Cycle club and their friends. The club will on next I'm l'rsday night give swell dance com plimentary to its friends at the pavilion. The following handsomely engraved in- vitation has been sent out by President Mcleod to club members and their friends E
 You are cordially invited to mount your wheel and accept the hospitality of the Birmingham Cycle club at a private dance to be given at the "Bieyclers' nue, near Avondale, Thursday evening, May 2S, to 10 p. m. A. MCLEOD,
 President Birmingham Cycle Club.
 Opening of 'Bicyclers' Rest"
 The membership of the Cycle club still continues to grow, and it will not be long until we will have one of the best clubs south of Louisville. President Mcleod is one of the most efficient officers that could be secured and club needs just such a man as he to give tone to such an organ ization.
 Regarding ladies who do not ride nor sanction the use of the wheel by ladies, the Bicycling World says the following:
 Women who do not ride are inclined to scoff at the benefits of cycling, but there is one fact they cannot get arounds and that is the fact that the wheel has opened up a wide new world to women. Until the bicycle came into their lives their condition was cramped in many directions. Their knowledge of the world around them was confined to brief gl1mpses from car windows and what could be seen on carriage drives or were within walking distances of their homes. American women are very poor walkers and thousands of them are never in a position to possess horse and carriage Imagine, then, the length and breadth of their little world. The bicycle speedily changed this state of affairs and made of It's fair followers independent creatures, who may go whithersoever they will And they have found-well, what have they not found? Beauties undreamed of and interesting places within a few hours ride of their own doors; they have found how charming is nature study when conducted strictly In n atures own haunts, and they have reached degree of health and strength through this most wholesome exercise which they never would have attained without it.
 
 The subject of "good roads" cannot be kept too prominently to the front. Why should we not have good highways? We have taken refuge too long in the cry that we are so young. The country has surely progressed with amazing rapidity in some directions, and it is culpable neglect pure and simple, that finds our common roads in such condition as they are today.
 Hardly anywhere in all Europe would
Birmingham state herald., 1896-05-24


 the mud and ruts of our American high. ways be tolerated. To be sure we had no legacy from Roman road builders, and no Napoleons to lay the foundations for admirable highways, but we might easily have had, at least, fairly respect. able roads at this present time if we had only begun rightn
 The growth of the railways, steam and electric lines, have, perhaps, caused us to neglect still more our common roads.
 The matter is of national importance, and yet the national government has done practically nothing concerning 1t. The states, following the example of the national government, have interested themselves very little In the subject, and so the highways have been left to local authorities. That the entire system is wrong, one has only to ride few miles into the country to learn. Competent highway engineers are a necessity in good road building, and you must go far to find one among town and county offi, cers. The haphazard systems employed have produced highways that are noth- ing more nor less than a disgrace to an otherwise progressive nation. It has been an expensive failure in more senses than one. s
 The farmers are just beginning to learn what an immense advantage their Euro- pean brothers have over them, for, over and over again, 1t has been demonstrated by actual tests that the force required to draw one ton on a muddy edFtH IOdu VIII easily draw just four times as much on a hard macadamized road. There are com paratively few farmers, In the far west at least, who are not obliged to draw their products at least three or four miles to reach a railroad, and very many have to go twice that distance. It Is easy to com pute the annual saving to the farmers alone which would result from good roads; and in the long run almost every body would derive an equal benefit from the change. -.sl..s.o
 Look at this matter from whichever side we may, 1t must be conceded that there is no better way to invest public money than in building good roads.
 The question of good roads Is Of far greater importance to the farmer than it is to the cyc1ist, but at the same time 1t is of vital importance to both. Let's all pull together for good roads Vote only for the men for commissioners who will promise us good public highways.
 James Bartlett of Gardiner, Me, owns a dog that can be classified among the intelligent ones. His master catches great many rats in trap, and is in the habit of taking the rodents in the cage to a nearby stream, placing the cage In the water, thus drowning them. Satur- day Mr. Bartlett was away and after waiting until almost 12 o'clock and he not returning, the dog seized the cage in his teeth, bore 1t to the stream ana dropped 1t in.

Mr.. w. A. Adams is the owner and
manager of this establishment and has
placed in it thorough steam equip
ment for re-drying, re-ordering and

Mr.. Adams was for six years in the
plug manufacturing business in Pet
ersburg, and it was here that he
learned of the genuine merit of the
North Carolina leaf. Quitting the
plug business in 1885 he came to Ok
ford and began buying and shipping
leaf. His business extended from
dealer to dealer, from town to town,
and from country to country, necessi-
tating with every expansion larger
purchases, more extensive facilities,
harder work, and closer application,
until he now owns and operates one Of
the largest and most successful leaf
tobacco establishments in the State,
an establishment built and managed
on an experience in the business of
fifteen years, and on the soundest Of
sound business principles, and on the
energy and courage of one Of the
liyest men in the trade. Mr.. Adams is
a native Of Dinwiddie county, Vir-

and during that time has got tar

DIR. f. r. WHITE.
1t was in 1884 that DR. A. T. White
first engaged in the tobacco business
in Oxford, He began as a buyer of leaf,
and for the dozen intervening years
he has been steadily and regularly
patron of the Oxford tobacco ware
houses.
DR. White is native of Granville
county, and grew up along by the side
of the tall, sweet-scented. yellow
tinted stalks OF tobacco that has for
half century been casting shadows
on the soil Of the grand old county.
DR.. White in his earlier years
equipped himself thoroughly for the
practice Of medicine, and for two years
after his graduation was one OF the
leading practitioners in his section;
but the tobacco. business had charm
for him that was imbued and irresist-
able. He had imbibed the natural
aroma of the cured leaf grown in that
famous Beaverdam section Of Gran
vile. He knew that from every stand
point, from the observation and expert
ence Of the most competent Judges Of
tobacco from analytical tests, from
every test of science or practice, that
the rich waxy leaf of North Carolina
had no rival in the culture of tobacco.
A knowledge Of these things, and
natural inclination to deal in tobacco
landed him in the business, and in it
he has been for these dozen wears.
The study of the business is one OF
Dr.. Whites greatest pleasures, and
the successful management of his leaf
dealing is his greatest ambition; and
in supplying his ordermen and filling
his leaf house with the best cuttings Of
the Oxford market is his greatest de-
light. To do these things and to meet
the other business responsibilities that
naturally come to DIR. White by reason
Of the confidence imposed in him by
his neighbors and business associates,
makes him a mighty busy man. He
is President Of the Oxford Tobacco
Board Of Trade; President of the
Bank Of Granville, moving spirit in
almost evry local industry and institu-
ton in his town and one of the most
valuable of the States younger citi-
zens. His ample means, his thoroughly
trained mind, and his untiring
energies are enlisted in the develop
ment Of his town and his State.

especially his voice in its management,

They are both men Of the highest
