millions of dollars have been set aside
for the betterment of the country roads

a laggard, but rather we'll in the lead,
when all things are considered, for she
has appropriated $1,000, 900 to be expended
upon the Improvement of the highways
during the season.
Bicycles have stimulated good road

TO RIGHT A WRONG.

In few weeks the people of Connect
cut are to vote on the question of calling
a convention to revise the Constitution
of that State. To show the necessity of a
change, it needs only to be stated that
New Haven with a population of over
10O, 900 elects the same number of mem
bers of the Legislature as some towns
with less than 1000 population. If such
a system prevailed in the South, the Re-
publican conventions would have all de-
nounced the South as a restricted oligar-
chy denying "a Republican form of gov
eminent" We are glad that the Nut
meg State is at last aroused to the neces-
sity of'doing something to put an end ia
this century old crime against the ma
jority.

LYNCH LAW AND THE CAUSE.

Wadesboro Messenger and Intelligencer
1t is a very serious matter to put a
man to DEATH brute though he may be,
otherwise than by legal process So far
as the rights of the person who has COM
mitted the nameless crime are concern
ed, it matters little how quick he is put
out of the way, or as to the manner of
his taking off. 1t is the effect that mob
violence has on society in general that
concerns every good citizen. There can
be no doubt that lynchings have a de-
moralizing effect, though we do not be-
lieve, as do some, that they have a
tendency to increase the very crime
which usually causes them.
But what is the use of further discuss
ing the matter ? Everybody agrees that
lynchings are bad, but that does not
alter the determination of at least 90
per cent of the white manhood of the
South, to hang the brute who assaults
a woman as soon as he is caught and his
guilt proved.
The negroes themselves are RESPONSE
bic for lynch law. Let them cease as
saulting our women and the crime will
never again be heard of.

BICYCLES HELP PUBLIC ROADS

''The inflex influence of the bicycle and
the automobile has finally created a pub
lie sentiment that is crystalizing into the
retirement of the public highways" says
Martin Dodge, Director of the United
States office of Public Road Inquiries, in
the Municipal Journal and Engineer.
MANY States which have failed to make
any appropriation for the Improvement
of roads in the past, have this year yield
ed to the public demand and made, for
them. liberal appropriations, Mr. Dodge

, Scotland Neck commonwealth.
The News and Observer commented
pointedly on DR.. Staten's position con-
corning corporal punishment and declar-
| ed that Solomons Spare the rod and
| spoil the child" maxim has been regarded
for several hundred years as high proof
of his wisdom
DR.. Staten's views as expressed before
| the school committeeman of his county
have come somewhat prominently into
notice, and however many there are who
gree with him there are on the other
hand many who quite as positively dis
agree.
There are many teachers of experience
who do not believe that the use Of the
rod IN the school room sometimes is al
together barbarous.
The editor of The Commonwealth was
for time a teacher and he remembers
that on more than one occasion he re-
garded it his honest duty to use the rod
as means Of correcting disobedient boys.
And dozen and more years after, we
do not agree with DR.. Staten that the
i'll feelings engendered in the pupil to-
wards the teacher are never quite for
given or entirely overcome" for we
whom we flogged then and have grown up
into strong manhood now are as fast and
strong friends as we have anywhere.
To be sure, there is pitch of madness
to which passionate teacher may go in
Furnishing disobedient pupil as we'll as
in anything else, and we remember to
have made such observation years ago
when school boy but because one teach
er can and does sometimes over-step the
limit of reason we need not conclude
that it is barbarous in every one to re-
sort to the rod as a means of correction
And in passing we may say that we are
old fogyish enough to believe that the
sparing of the rod outside of the school
room, even at home sometimes, has much
to do in some cases with the necessity
! for using it in school-if indeed the nee
essity ever arises-and we think it does
now and then.

McLAURINIsM HAS NO STRENGTH
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
We had not considered it at ALL neces-
sary that these political meetings should
be held this summer, inasmuch as a
large majority of the Democrats of the
State are not susceptible to the seduc-
tions of the Republican policy; but the
meetings have proved advantageous in
this, that they have shown the essential
weakness of McLaurinism both in argu-
ment and in popular support. The boast
ings of the Senator's organs have been
reduced to absurdity. If he shall ac-
tually make the race for reelection it
will be merely to secure the crown and
achieve the reward of martyrdom.
