WHITE MEN READ THIS.
Anglo Saxon Civilization Threatened
News and Observer }

The appointment oil negro men
on school committees that have con-
troll of white schools is the first step
in the direction of mixed Schools
These are the words used few
days ago by a Populist in Harnett
county, who sees the true tendency
under the present sort Of Govern
ment that is disgracing the State
and endangering its very civilian
ton. In the presence Of race con-
ditions that degrade our Anglo
Saxon civilization. is it not clear
that the white man who votes the
Republican ticket or becomes an ally
of that party is the enemy Of his
State
y Harnett county gentleman. who
gave us the above quotation from q
Populist neighbor calls our atten-
ton to an editorial in n recent issue
Of he BiJltcai Recordcr that teaches
a lesson to every white man in the
State who is not blinded by love Of
office or some other selfish or base
motive. The RecOrdcr said:
In Vance county the State
Superintendent Of Public instruction
and other friends of education, made
a special effort to help the teachers
Of the public schools. TO save time
and energy it was planned to have
one meeting for both white and color
ed teachers, the latter to sit in a
comfortable and convenient gallery.
Pat hn tntnral r,nnt,ll al, aI aud
then it was decided to have two
meetings. one Of them especially for
the negroes. The meeting for the
white teachers took place first, and
was thoroughly helpful; but when
the hour came for the meeting of the
cOlorcd teachers, there were none to
be found. This is an incident which
would not be worth ten lines of type.
if it did net illustrate a great con-
dition that Southern people are well
aware Of and Northern people have
never perceived. The most difficult
thing to do in this world is to help
the colored race. They want to BE
helped in their own way or not at all.
They are possessed of the phantom
of social equality for which they will
forsake everything else. OF course
there are distinguished exceptions;
but we speak OF the race as whole.
The Vance county incident makes
to persuade one that North Caro-
lima has given the colored people
more recognition in public education
than is good for Them
This incident, with the multiplied
negro magistrates, school committee
men, members of the board of educa-
ton, county commissioners, post
masters, and the presence Of a negro
a the chief fertilizer inspector of
the State-not to speak Of the in
crease of crime which has followed
III the wake Of Republican success
will not fail to impress the lesson
that the white men of the State are
inviting the degradation which fol-
lows always and everywhere when
the negro party is in power.

Along poor roads land sells slowly.
There is demand for farming land and
rural homes along good highways.
Under her present road law 23S miles
of good roads have been built in New
Jersey.
Hard roads make access to the farms
easy at all seasons; produce can be ship
ped in any weather if the highways arc
?assable.

GOOD ROAD WISDOM,
How to Improve the Highways ut Small

How to Improve the Highways ut Small
Increase of Expense.
1t is constantly being remarked in
conversation and printed in interviews
and editorials in the papers that better
roads are very necessary, but that they
are too expensive. The community is too
poor to do anything, and there the mat
ter ends.
This need not be SO, says The L. A.
w. Bulletin. There is hardly town or
county in this country in which the
money now annually expended is not
sufficient to procure much better road
surfaces than now exist, while very
slight increase in expenditure would
make great improvements possible.
Road taxes must be paid in money,
and not in labor. Good results have
never been obtained by working out
road taxes, and it is not in the nature
Of things that they should be. What
ever is to be spent on the roads must be
available for use in the employment Of
experienced help under intelligent su-
pervision.
Proper grading must be secured, hills
reduced and filings made until no steep
hill exists that the farmer must "load
for" every time he hauls over the road.
The bed must be thoroughly drained
or good surface will be impossible,
and the surface must enable the water
to flow off readily. Nothing ruins a
road SO quickly as water standing on it
or soaking into it.
The roadbed must be crowned enough
to shed water and must be kept in con-
dition by a system of regular repairs
and continuous oversight.
After good surface is secured by the
above methods it must be preserved and
maintained by permitting only the use
Of wide tires on heavily laden vehicles,
thereby continually rolling and improv-
ing it.

A Good Roads Minister.

A progressive Baptist minister on
Long Island read a notice lately from

meeting to be held that week and that
good singing would be a feature of it.
He expressed the belief that better roads
would make better Christians.

DR.. J. H. Gladstone, discussing at the
Royal Institution the question Of the
metals used by the great nations Of
antiquity, said recently that gold was
probably the first metal known to man,
because It IL generally found native.
The oldest metallic objects to which
we can assign q probable date were
found In q royal tomb at Nagada in
Egypt, supposed to have been that OF
King Menes. In one Of the chambers
were some bits of gold and q bead,
q button and a fine wire Of nearly pure
copper. II the tomb had been proper
ly identified, these objects are at least
$500 years old. Nearly all the ancient
gold that has been examined contains
enough silver to give 1t light color
1t was gathered by the ancients in the
bed OF the Pactolus and other streams
Of Asia Minor.

A remarkable Calculator.

Diamandi. a native of Pylaros. one Of
the Greek islands, seems to be a re-
markable calculator. After a mere
glance on a blackboard, ON which
thirty groups Of figures are written,
he can, It is said, repeat them in any
order and deal with them in any arith-
metical process. 1t is said that he
never makes an error in calculations
involving billions. and he can extract
square or cube roots with marvellous
rapidity and accuracy. An eminent
German specialist declared the other
day that these ready-reckoners were
idiots. This is not the case with Dia-
mandi. who writes poetry and novels
In the intervals Of business. and shows
considerable intellectual capacity.

class Of people who use up, in one way

Lincoln's old backwoodsman had very

One day he came rushing into his cab

Surgery for Animals.

Veterinary surgeons are becoming so
skilled that no longer is an ounce Of
lead the chief medicine administered
to suffering pet animal. At the Royal
Veterinary college, Camden Town, Eng
land, some wonderful operations have
been performed lately. The beast is
fastened in a stock and chloroform is
administered, and as much pains are
taken as if a royal duke was the pa
tient. "A mongrel mastiff pup, who
was given false leg, takes great pride
in his wooden member. He soundly
thrashes other dogs with it in the bouts
in which he still engages-to the in
tense amazement of his opponents. A
collie belonging to the duchess OF Marl-
borough was run over by a cab and one
of it's legs had to be amputated. A
false leg of aluminium was supplied.
The Joints at the knee are movable
springs. One little dog, a valuable
whippet, was so annoyed by its artifi-
cial legs that they were taken of, and
it hops about like a kangaroo. When
horses tails are docked they have no
protection from the flies if they are
turned out to pasture. Therefore false
tails are devised, which allow them "a
enjoy their communion with nature. A
valuable terrier, Toby" belonging to
the duke of Bedford, was fitted for q
set of false teeth, which gives him
great assistance in rat catching.

along toward Indianapolis the other
evening atty miles an hour. The train
was loaded with passengers and was
behind time. East Of Edwardsport En-
gineer Dorsey saw on the track far
anead q dog that was jumping about

dogs actions looked suspicious and, as
. measure Of caution, Dorsey shut or
the steam, 30 a. to have his train un-
der control. When the train reached

barked at 1t. and then, with . yelp,
started for the woods. Then it was
that Dorsey saw that there was some
thing red between the rails, and he
threw on the emergency brakes and
opened the sand-box. The train came
to standstill within ten feet of a
pretty faxen-haired baby in q red
frock- The child was about 2 years
old and had been playing with the dog.
The train Grew ran forward and Bag
gageman Franklin picked up the child,
which laughed and crowed and patted
his face in glee. About 1900 yards dis
