Isn't It about time Tor the city
fathers to give some attention to
the comfort and convenience Of the
Taxpayers Of Camden by building
sidewalks where they are needed2
1t is alright to put gravel on the
streets. We believe in a generous
use of gravel on cur streets and all
public highways. But ia very small
per cent. of our citizens will beable
toutiIize thepublicsquare aitogeth-
er several times daily between their
homes and places Of business dur
ing the winter months Sidewalks
are badly needed in many parts of
the town, n,and the Taxpayers believe
they deserve more consideration at
the hands Of the board. We think
that il the question Of sidewalks is
properly brought to the attention
Of the members Of the board, they
will look at the matter in its right
light and make qR effort to provide
:. sidewalks on the principal streets
of the town. There is no reason
why Camden should not have good
sidewalks, aud, if necessary, econ.
omy in street work will enable the
board to meet the expense Of pro.
yiding a way for the children to at
tend school and the ladies to 60 tc
church instead Of being housed u
all winter. With the proper efor
the obstacle Of mud in Camden car
be overcome.

Railroads Again. !

About this time in the year it is
wise TO carry an umbrella The
spring showers fall suddenly but
they do not come much more fire.
quently than do the periodical an
nouncements of new railroads TO be
constructed in, or across this county.
The number of paper roads which
have been built on our territory is
something wonderful. and the wind
expended in exploiting them would
if concentrated, almost blow the
rocks and stones into a suitable
grade and level all our hills.
The parties here last week, Messrs
Raidham and Nye, drove across
the country to White Haven in
Carbon ostensibly TO examine its to-
pogaphical aspect with a view to
building an air line road.
Whether they followed any form
er survey, or mapped out a new
route is not disclosed, but they
stated, we are informed, that if
rights of way could be secured at
reasonable figures though Egypt and
the Promised Land in Pike. ard the
Shades of Death in Monroe the road
would be built. There is abundant
capital lying unused IN the numer-
Gus banks in the country and in the
U. S treasury to build and equip it,
hence there is no apparent obstacle
unless it be difficulty in securing
rights Of way through the places
above mentioned
Let us hope the land owners in
these thriving localities will be reas

Negroes in the South.

1t is generally understood that
there are a great many very prom
inent colored people in the South,
who have risen from slavery to
places of position and trust. Among
the more prominent is DR.. L. A.
Scruggs of Raleigh, N Z. He is q
physician who has done a great deal
for his people. His chief effort
was to start sanitarium at South.
ern Pines, n c., where invalid col.
ored people may have comfortable
quarters and proper medical atten-
tion. The doctor has received con-
siderable assistance from people
throughout the North, especially in
connection with the Sanitarium The
Pickfords, of Massachusetts,, contri-
buted largely to the establishment
OF the institution. and it bears the
name of that prominent Massaohu-
setts family. We have very favor
able reports about the institution
and DR.. Scruggs, from many visi-
tors from this section who have
gone to Southern Pines during the
past two winters. Southern Pines
is located on the Seaboard Air Line
that has its office at 81 Broadway
New York. The S. A. L. makes
close connections with the Old Do
minion steamers and we advise you
to go from New York via the Old
Dominion Steamers.
Now Is good time to go South
and escape the severe weather of the
next few months.

A School of Forestry.

At meeting of the Yale corpor-
alton held March 10th a gift was an
nounced of $3.50, 900. to Yale for the
purpose of founding school of For
estry.
The donors were Mr.. and Mrs. j.
w. Pinchot, of New York city, and
their sons, Clifford Pinchot, Yale, 's9,
and Amos r. f, Pinchot, Yale, '9S.
This school will be new depart
ment at Yale. The founding of it
has been due to President Hadley
and to Mr.. Clifford Pinchot, who is at
the head of the Division of Forestry
in the department of Agriculture at
Washington. Mr.. Pinchot was one
of the first Americans to take up the
scientific study of forestry. He has
made a great success in forestry and
is mnch interested in the establish
ment of the school at Yale.
The corporation confirmed the Sc
lection of Mr.. Henry S. Graves, Yale
'92, as the head of the new school.
Mr.. Graves is now Mr.. Clifford Pin
chot's first assistant at Washington.
He is the son of DIR. Graves, of An
dover Academy.
The school of Forestry will for the
time being be located in the house OF
the late Professor O. c. Marsh. 1t
is believed that this department will
become an important one at Yale.
Mr. and Mrs. j. w. Pinchot have
also given Yale the use of a large
tract of land in Pike county, Pa, fol
practical demonstration in forestry
during the summer vacation months
of Yale. In other words, this lan6
viii be used for a Summer school O
the Yale School Of Forestry. Th'
use Of the land is given to Yale for q
period of twenty-one years.
