she talked on drearily.
The man on ahead Of them, In the
crowded court room. waiting with de-
6ant young face for his sentence, was
charged with a grave crime. In a mo-
ment of anger, he had felled a comrade
with a single blow OF his big fist. The
injured man had rallied at first, and
then suddenly sunk in a stupor and
died. The doctors talked learnedly Of
compllcatlng conditions, but the out
look was dark for the prisoner. His
stolid bearing was against him.

SUGGESTIONS FOR DRAINAGE eF
PUBLIC ROADS.

The North Carolina Good Roads AS
sociation. which sends cut weekly bull
letins containing information. sugges-
tions and communications as to road
making, has the following in its last is
sue. 1t is taken from Il recent publica-
ton of the United States office Of road
inquiries. 1t will be of interest to those
building macadam roads as well as TO
those putting in better condition the or
binary dirt roads of the country:
Surface Drainage-Where the road
is constructed on a grade or hill, the
slope from the centre to the sides
should be shgtly sleeper than that on
the level road. The best cross section
for roads on Grades Is the one made
up from two plane Surfaces sloping
uniformly from the centre to the sides.
This is done 20 as to avoid the danger
of oHerturnin:; near the side bitches,
which would leceSSarily be increased
if the elliptic, form were used. The
slope from the centre TO :he sides must
be steep enough to lead the water into
the side bitches instead Of allowing it
to lun down the middle of the road.
Every wheel track on an inclined road
way becomes a channel for carrying
down the water, and unless the curva-
ture is sufficient these tracks are quick
ly deepened into water courses which
cut into and sometimes destroy the best
improved road"

The Baltimore correspondent of Tie
Charlotte Observer says that the trend
of immigration, especially by the farm
ing element of the middle northwest
is now toward the southern states. He
says that not since the days of sixty
and seventy year ago. when the new
lands of Alabama, Mississippi. Louis
lana and Texas invited settlers, has
there been so strong an interest in
southern immigration. He attributes
this awakening TO the action of several
Of the railway systems of the south.
There is great demand for the undeyel-
oped cotton and corn lands of this Sec
ton. The farmers of the middle west,
instead of migrating further to the
northwest, have turned to the south
and southeast. 1t is hoped our state
can secure it's proportion of this sturdy
class of settlers.

REPUBLICAN TAX ON CLEANLINESS.

The tariff does not hurt the farmer
and it does not afford any protection
TO trusts. This is what the republican
speakers tell you
Mr. T. L. Fleming, of New York, who
has been put TO a great deal Of trouble
and expense because of his mistaken
notion as to the tariff on one article, IS
not of this opinion and he writes a let
ter to the chambers of commerce of the
various cities giving his experience. He
has learned at the cost of $4,000 IN
cash and al indictment in the federal
courts, although acquitted, that the
government imposes a tariff tax of
five cents a pound on washing cystals
composed Of borax and soda.
The borax trust Of the United States
sells its product in England and on the
continent Of Europe for two and a half
cents a pound, but the price in the
United States is seven and a half cents
The tariff does not hurt the former in
any way, We are told, but when his
wife wants some washing soda, this tar
iff protected trust charges her three
times as much for it as it does the peo-
pie across the Atlantic ocean for the
very same article.
According to Mr.. Fleming, the present
tariff law contains no specific tax on
washing crystals composed of borax and
soda, so the authorities classed his i'm
portations under borax or borate ma
terial on which there is a duty of five
cents pound.
The fact that cleanliness is next 20
Godliness cuts no figure with the repub-
licans when it comes to taxing the
American people for the benefit of
few favored ones. No wonder the re-
publican party has the support of
the two extremes of society-the mill
lionaire trusts and monopolies and the
great army of the unwashed.
