Roads and Road Laws.

Either from grave faults in the
road laws as they affect this county
or from grave faults in their exc
cution, we are becoming more and
more conspicuous by invidious
comparisons with other counties
and communities. A prominent
citizen of Tazewell just returned
from Washington says that splcn.
did thoroughfares are being made
in that county.
In the small and comparatively
poor county of Bland the people
have shown considerable public
spirit in this behalf, and are spok
en- of i'll high praise, for marked
improvements of the highways.
While all the counties around as
are making more or less marked
Improvement, our roads even the
most important are growing worse.
Why it isis one Of the inscrutable
mysteries that are past finding out.
If there is not enough money at
the command of the Supervisors
why do they not recommend q loan
ample for the purpose. A quarter
of a million dollars could be ex-
pended advantageously to the
county, and would add at once
double that amount to real estate
values.
The situation, by reason of the
circumstances and surroundings
is becoming acute. The estimable
gentlemen WHO have this matter in
charge doubtless think they are
doing well, in outstanding the
county's resources, but we are con-
fident that they are mistaken.
They should spend every dollar
that the present abominablc sys
tenn places at their disposal, and
then join in n recommendation for
a loan which would put all the
roads in good condition. This is
an age of progress, little as one
would think it who travels the
roads of the richest county in the
Commonwealth.

We were asked the other day 6
question that deserves a thought
full reply. The question was
"What kind of Democracy is yours
that advocates territorial expan
sion, and declines to accept as car
dinal doctrine, the views expressed
by Hon. VIM. j. Bryan in his Oma.
ha speech. Now to be brief, and
more or less explicit, we will say
that our Democracy has been on
tap, (never on sale) since 1916, and
has been considered by experts as
warranted to wash. 1t is the kind
that toresaw the drift Of Malone.
ism, and combatted its pernicious
tendencies for years, against over
whelming odds, and with slender
support from its own people. 1t is
the kind that brought together
the two wings of the Democratic
party in '73 and averted the dan
ger of negro and scalawag domi-
nation. 1t is the kind that adj
mired all that was admirable in
Cleveland in '96, and voted for all
that was admirable in Bryan. 1t
is the kind that foresaw defeat in
this district two years ago, and
that foresees triumph in the pend
ing campaign. 1t is In short the
kind of Democracy that can forget
what should be forgotten, that can
learn what all should know, that
believes that the Anglo Saxon race
should rule the world, that believes
that God is over all, and lastly the
kind that will express it's honest
convictions men and devils to the
contrary notwithstanding.

The Act DecIarnd NnIfi.

h the United States court at Little Rock. Judge Williams overruled the de- murrer of the state to the application of the board of trustees of the Arkan- sas Industrial University for an injunc- ton restraining the state treasurer from making an exchange of bonds, as pro- vided by an act of the last legislature. This act authorized the state treasurer 10 exchange state bonds for cer- tain Washington county bonds held by the state university. The board of trustees applied to the United States court for an injunction, and the state demurred to the application. The effect of the decision is to make perpetual the injunction, and declares the legislative act void on the ground that it conflicts with an act passed by congress grant ing to the Arkansas Industrial Univer- sity a permanent fund which should not be invested in securities yielding less than per cent. interest.

VANITY AND CONCEPT.
There Are Noticeable Points of Re- sembiance and Difference Be-
 tween Them.

Most estimable people are either conceited or vain. Many praiseworthy individuals are both. Vanity is more easily detected than conceit. It lies in the skin, and is as plain to be seen as tha measles. You cannot be five minutes in the room with a vain man and not know him to be vain. In his gestures, in his most trivial remarks, in the eN- pression of his face, he betrays himself at every moment as q vain man. Con ceit lying beneath the skin--and thies skin at that-fgssasSS.Ptly escapes detee. tion. You may be days, nay weeks, in the company of one whose interior economy is one solid mass of conceit, and not discover it. It may be your lot to be staggered by a sudden revelation of unfathomable conceit in one of whom you have hitherto regarded as the most humble-minded of your acquaintances.
 The vain man is pleasant companion in many ways. He is eager for your goed opinion and shows you he thinks it worth having. He goes to meet yod half way with his intellect, and, being
 
 to apprehend your meaning. You have not to prod him with your wit or rub your subtleties in. He goes forward and catches them in the air before they have well left your own brain. But he is so sensitive, so "touchy," that you must be on your guard, or you will be perpetually hurting his feelings or wounding his vanity.
 Long companionship with the 7ain tends to make one nervous and irri- table. One cannot always be minding one's p's and as. There arc times when one must let oneself go When this state of mind comes upon one, there is no greater relief than to find oneself in the company of the concelted. You may say anything you please and rest assured that though they may not un- derstand it, at least they will not take offense. Even if you wish to offend them you cannot do so with your ordi- nary weapons of sarcasm and irony In spite of all you can do or say to the contrary they will believe that you think well of them. How can you dc otherwise, they would say to them selves if the question arose, when they are so deserving of your good opinion l. When their eomplacent self-satisfae- ton becomes a source of irritation, SC that one longs to send a harpoon through their hippopotamus hide t wound their relf-esteem, then how de. lightfal t is to find oneself back agaif md conyersing with the vain.-Pal Mall Gazette.
