The Famous Hearing Springs.

Lexington Dispatch

Lexington D1Spatch.l
In recent numbers of The Dispatch We
have spoken of the fine farming lands and
ests of timber in Davidson but there is
no property IN this county that will yield
as great return to proper management
and bestow as great a blessing upon the
public universally as Healing Springs
when opened up and developed. This
magnificent property lies sixteen miles
south of Lexington in che midst of the
finest mineral and timber section of the
State.
The tract of land on which the Springs
are located embraces three hundred and
sixty-five acres of original and unbroken
forests stretching over the valley and
Healing Springs mountain, furnishing at
tractive sporting grounds and abundant
wild game The small streams have
mountain trout, and short drive along
the mountain sides brings one to the
YadiIin river, where are fine bathing,
boating and fishing grounds; all attrac
tive to the health seeker as we'll as the
pleasure hunter.
At the base of this small range of
mountains and from out the rocks, with
in twenty feet of each other, flow two
large springs of cool. palatable and re-
freshing water of different analysis and
of wonderfully healing properties
The finest water in the world is the
expressed sentiment of hundreds of peo-
pie who have there found health. Emil
nent physicians here and elsewhere COM
mend these waters as second to none.
For two generations Healing Springs
has been local resort on Sundays and
holidays for the surrounding country The
people go in wagons and buggies, on
horseback and on foot and renew their
strength and energies with refreshing
dsaughts, and recount the wonderful
cures these waters have affected; and
for half century small log hotel and
q few cabins have furnished accommo-
dations for many health seeker, and
the demand has always been for more
and better accommodations
Hitherto the owners would not sell
this property nor improve it, In the
near future this will be the health resort
OF North Carolina, and this means of the
entire South.
Improved roads followed by an electric
railway from Lexington to this point will
be the grandest achievement it is possi-
Bile for our county to enjoy. Besides
placing Healing Springs within easy
reach of the world an electric railway
would tap the great mineral belt and
timber section. From here the way is
practical and easy.

Newton, ~ c.. Jan. PA force Of hands

northwest side Of the court house square
for the erection of new store houses.
Sheriff ]. W. Blackwelder will erect two
fine two-story brick buildings on his two
OTIS. One OF them has already been leased
for a term of five years for use as a new
hardware store. 1t is probable that brick
store houses will be erected on the vacant
parts of the entire block during the year.
The County Commissioners will be ask
ed by petitions at an early date TO give
us a chain gang. In order to have good
roads after the establishment of the
chain gang, petitions will be presented 10
the present Legislature TO allow the coun-
~ to hold an election in regard to issu-
ing bonds for the purpose of purchasing
an outfit and macadamizing the roads of
the county The petition will ask that,
if the election fails TO carry in the county,
any township may vote TO issue bonds for
the purpose Of making good roads in that
township.

Cuba he said: cit is most unfortunate
that events were not so shaped from the

all the more apparent now, in view of
the complications arising and threatened

important reasons, a most desirable addi-

believe with Douglas that it is part OF
destiny that this island should come un-

of our flag. 1t should be, in my opinion.
the declared policy of the party to bring
that desirable event to pass as speedily
as it can now be done with honor to our
selves and Justice to the Cubans'
The speaker referred to Mr.. Bryan in
most complimentary terms, saying he
was one of the greatest, purest and no.

anxious to see the Democratic party grow
stronger by additions to it's ranks, and
cordially welcome all who come in manly,
good faith, not only to take part in its
counsels, but to support the organization
and conclusions. l regret and condemn
the offensive bad taste with which many
of those who deserted the party in 1896
and 1900 and gave aid and comfort to the
enemy now proclaim a purpose to seize
the party organization and thrust aside
those who have no stain of party trea-
son on sword or garment. That will never
be done, and those who attempt it Will

Better Roads a Pressing Need.

To the Editor: The public roads in
| many counties of the State. are public
disgrace In many counties the present
| road laws are utter failures. This is true
of Granville county. The roads get worse
rather than better Most of the work
done on them is not worth a cent. a
little fresh dirt is thrown into guliies
and mud holes, only to make mud deep
er the first rain that comes. The centre
of the road bed is left lower than the
sides of the road. thus gathering water
and mud. The side bitches are not made
large enough to carry the water, they
break and pour streams of water onto
the road bed, sweeping away the earth,
and leaving rocks. roots and gullies to be
travelled over.
do not believe we will ever have good
roads until they are worked by taxation.
70 work them thus would be cheaper and
better.
1t would be cheaper Now the law re-
quires a man to work six days in year.
Most road workers are farmers. Every
days work man puts on his farm is
worth at least one dollar. AS it now is.
each farmer looses six dollars of work
from his farm by having to, work the
roads. The average tax on farmers to put
and keep, the roads in good order, would
not be near as much as 5000 year.
Good roads would almost double the
value Of lands. Some years ago l was
travelling through Buncombe county. Six
miles from AshevilIe l came to a beauti-
full home and finely cultivated farm I
found the owner of the premises was a
Northern man. | asked: why do not
more Northern men come and buy and
improve as you have done:" His answer
was Make better roads and they will z
A sensible man does not want home
that lis almost impossible to reach OH ac>
count of bad roads. and from which it is
almost impossible to get to, market with
what he makes to sell.
Suppose a man has twenty miles 10
travel. On a good road he could save one
hour or more of time. He could carry
twice as large a load with the same team.
His vehicles and team would not be in
iured half as much as they WOULD be,
carry half as much over bad roads.
Granville county and the town of Oxford
are suffering much on account of bad
roads. All around the border of the
county, the trade is going to other towns;
not because of better prices, but because
roads in other counties are better. Good
roads will pay in every way. They are
an absolute necessity. For one, | am in
favor of a good road tax. To me, it seems
the cheapest and only way to get good
roads.
l hope the present Legislature win not
adjourn without giving us a law that will
insure better roads.
Let the law be so framed as to compel
a man who fails to pay his road tax, 10
work out the amount OF that tax on the
roads. Everybody travels more or less.
and whether he owns taxable property or
not, he is greatly benefited by good
roads. J. A. STRADLEY,
