yenience and accommodation to the pa
irons of the office and is a defect in
the postal service here that Mr.. Bailey
has been for n long time trying to remedy.
Only yesterday he received from Wash
ington the authority TO do so.
The Bundy time clock is Il wonderful
and most complicated instrument. In
appearance it is like an ordinary wall
clock. but in it is an arrangement where
by the time of each employee is kept.
This is done by menas of a key ana
lever. There is n key for each day
of the month and one for the year for
setting the clock and dating the record

ONE DAY on THE ROADS.
Some Things Ray Has Done, and Some
He's Left Undone

Hearing so much about our roads, :
yesterday said man who knows good
road when he sees it, Il concluded to
spend one day driving over them to see
their condition, and much to my surprise
and regret, | found them in a miserable
fix.
THE asylum road was my first to
pass over. found it loose. cut in holes.
washed into gulies and generally out of
repair, and i was unable to drive faster
than in Il walk on any part of it, | was
told it had not been repaired for the
last twelve months.
This Avent-Ferry road was my next.
This also | found in very bad condition
and unsafe to travel over.
.The next was the Hilsboro road,
which is better than the others; but
found that covered either with red clay
or loose stones and too rough to 90 over
out Of walk.
THE old Hillsboro or Oberlin road
was badly washed in places. and gener
ally out of repairs. From this road
came in to the city over the Falr-yleW
road and found that portion from Iy.
sons Store tat DR.. Lewis). to the hui
beyond the Pilot mills and beyond the
branch, turnpiked and top-dressed WIN
a light coating Of sand and gravel, max
ing very good dry-weather road; but
when the rains and freezes of winter
come it will be hub-deep i'll mud. Com
ing over to the Pilot mills | found that
beautiful piece Of road from there to
Peace Institute top-dre Ssed with sand and
dirt preparatory to muck as soon as
the rains set in. Turnpike road building
was condemned and abandoned more
than two decades ago, and they are now
thing of the past.
AFTER dinner. | drove to the Louis
burg road and in place of finding it in
n condition to speed my team, | had to
be on the watch for holes. ruts and
washed places, to say nothing about tho
loose stone lying over the surface, which
are so dangerous TO horses feet and to
wheels.
Next to claim my attention was the
Milburnic road, and from the time
passed the Sugg's place | encountered

BLEACHERIEs IN THE SOUTH.
Northern Man Finds n Good Field
For One in North Carolina.

1t is not improbable that North Caro-
lima may, in the near future. have one or
more bleacheries. This is what she now
needs to unable her to make the finest
cotton goods and thereby compete with
the New England mills.
A Lewiston, Maine, correspondent
writing to the Manufacturers Record,
says: Il have been through IA number
of places in North and South Carolina,
and Georgia, and know of a number
where | tested the water and found it
entirely suitable for bleaching dyeing
and finishing: in fact | found places
with better water than some of the
Northern bleacheries are using. There
is undoubtedly large field for bleach
cries either in North or South Carolina
or Georgia. There are goods enough
shipped to northern bleacheries that
would keep at least ten or twelve good
sized works running steady the year
round
This correspondent goes on to say that
with even the present manufacture of
cotton in the South land it is steadily
increasing an investment in a bleach
ing, dyeing and finishing works in this
State would easily pay 30 per cent. on
the outlay.
