Department of Agriculture declares that at least $500 GOO 900 would be saved to the farmers annually If they were able to do their hauling over good roads"
 That's a pretty sum to throw in the mud every season at the expense of the men who blow, SOW, reap and mow for their daily sustenance-now, isn't it?
 Let the Labor Advocate suppose case: Suppose the bankers or the big merchant princes, or any of the many millionaires of our states union were to lose $500, ,000,000 of their money per year because of bad roads, how long would they keep sil@ mt and submit?
 Not one moment longer than it would take them to meet in convention and de- mand legislation in behalf of good roads; and if the legislature of any state refused to comply with their demand, they would forthwith buy or bully it into quick and the coupon-c clippers can ride in cushioned carriages over well-paved city boule- wards, and they don't care a dandiprat as to the good, bad or indifferent condi- ton of the country highways.
 This being the case, it would be well for our agricultural population to unite as one man in petitioning for favorable legislation in the premises.
 If their plea should happen to meet with a cool reception, and be finally de- feated when it came up for consideration in the form of a bill. let the farming con- stituents of every legislator who voted against 1t, whether he is democrat, re- publican or populist-be treated in pre-, cisely the same way: Let them chill him with a cool reception on his first visit home, and defeat him by a knock down and drag-out majority whenever he pops up for reelection.

TennYson and Fielde.

The late James T. Fields had the good fortune to hear Tennyson read one of his own poems and was so kind to his Ameri- can audiences as to try to show them how the laureate managed the matter. Tenny- sons manner, so initiated by MT. Fields, struck us usually as very queer, for tho poet, it seems, struck an attitude, elevated his voice and proceeded to delivery that came near to veritable chanting. The piece, of course, was high pitched lyric-I am sorry forget what-possibly it was from "Maud." Now, lyric is almost all music and does not chiefly address the under standing. And if we have no notes to it and no voice for singing, but are reduced to the necessity of delivering it in speaking tones, surely we must contrive some kind of elevation of manner some raising and elation of the voice. some special modula- tion, moro than usual surrender to the rhythm, moro than usual neglect of gram nautical relations and of the dictionary pronunciation of words.-Journal of Ped agogy.

 The boys of Talladega went up to Oxford Lake yesterday and defeated Oxford ath- letas in a game of base ball. The Oxford boys are thorough gentlemen and our boys were treated very nice indeed. The only objection was that MT. Stuckey made such miserable decisions that the boys were forced to protest. In the seventh inning MT. Stuckey was removed and MT Jno. Turn took his place. Though his decision on MT Wallis, of Taliadega, at the plate In the first of the eighth was very close in- deed, yet the boys think he gave them jus tce. The TallaGega boys have gotten down to it right now and in few weeks Nandiver will have as good team as ever faced any pitcher. Oxford only got in four hits on Owen, while Talladega batted Wrenn right along. The Talladegas lined up as'follows: R. A. Owen, P; J. A. Wal lis, C.; c. w. Vandiver, S. S.; NJ. R. Adams,

CONNECTS ON PUBLIC ROADS.

LaDor Advocate.
 Reports from a number of counties in North Carolina which work convicts on their public roads show that it costs less so to employ them than to feed them in the county jails. In Wake county k costs POE cents per convict per day. In Mecklenberg, Forsyth, Durham and Ala nance it costs 20 cents per day. This cost includes board, clothes, medical at- tention and salaries of the guards. In these same counties when the prisoners are kept in jail, it costs on an average 2S cents per day per prisoner to support them. The convict enjoys better health when working the public roads than when in jail or in the mines. Why, then, would it not be good idea to agitate the crnel-t egfl mt eda na xhwsn ao ieub enactment of a law by our next legisla- ture to abolish the present convict sys- tem and employ our prisoners in more healthful eXercise-the building and inn proving of public roads?

BLOOD AND SKIN HUM0RS Afilicting a Whole Family.
 Speedily Cured by
 CUTiCURA. Statements Sworn 10 Before the
 Clerk of the Supreme 542 Court.

My wife had appear on her limbs, just above the ankles, five small pimples that began to enlarge, and soon developed into eating ulcers of the indolent type, which, despite ali relne- dies and our efforts to cure them, grew worse and worse, and at the end of three months had become very bad two of them having eaten to the bone. At that time we began to use CUTIcuRA remedies, and with two bottles of REsoLvENT, one box of CuTIcURA, and one cake of CUTICURA SOAP, they were cured sound and well in about two months. The scars are there to-day as living witnesses of the severity and extent of the ulcers. also was afflicted the same winter with papular rash, from which could not rest day or night My skin became in very bad fix when began using CUTICUztA remedies. I used them for about one month and was cured.
 My little baby girl, when about ten months old, was afflicted with Eczema, her limbs from her knees down were one solid sore from which she suffered greatly. We tried several remedies which only aggravated them, before we began the use of the CUTIoURA remedies, in which case there was a complete cure with no return of the disease.

FINANCIAL.

| New York May 22.-The Finaneier 1 says: Despite the fact that between | twelve and fifteen millions of legal ten l ders have been withdrawn from the New | York banks during the past three weeks | Ter gold eport purposes and that the GUS | toms payments during this season have l been abnormally high, the clearing house l institutions report for the week ending | May 22, $1S9,031 800 cash, which is within | four million of the total reserves held | when the outward movement began. The l only effect of the withdrawal of funds | for the purposes named seems to have l been in a reduction of the surplus cash l to the extent of about one and one-qu3r- l ter millions. This measures pretty accu- rately the etent of the interior move ment, as loans remain just about where | they stood a month ago. As domestic exchange has risen during the week at interior centers there is nothing to infer the belief that the flow of funds to this point is yet at an end. 1t Is a fact, how ever, that some demand for re-discounts is sprnging up from the south and the
 reduction of $99SsOO in the loan item.
 The New York banks evidently do not
 look for am imediate revival in the mar ket The agreement entered into by a
 number of the larger institutions this
 spring to loan no money at less than
 Der cent. wene to pieces last week, and It is said that some of the banks are in creasIng their holdings of government bonds in order to make a return on ,heir
 money. But for all this, while the bank statement does not show 1t, the commer-
 cial paper market last week was bet CT
 than theaverage. A revival al this time
 is, not at all unusual Beginning April 5,
 1895, the loans of the New York banks
 began increasing, and from $4S0, ,43S, 300
 went to $522, ,69S, 300 without a stop. Last
 year, between February and May Is, the loans expanded no less than $31 ,000,-
 00O The increase from anuary, 1897, to
 the present week has been only $13,500,-
 GOO, although the loans of the banks
 stand now $S1, ,000,00 above the total re- ported for the week ending May 23, 1896
 It is only raturally, therefore to expect
 an expansion, even if smaller than usual
 between now and fall. The situa tion is
 somewhat complicated by the intricate
 exchange problem arising from the heavy
 merchandise imports.
 The weekly bank statement shows the following changes:
