He has never gone away from the

HOW TO BUILD UP A TOWN.

HOW TO BUILD UP a TOWN.
The following good advice is
taken from an exchange, and, if
lived up to by the inhabitants,
would be a great benefit to any vii
lage:
praise it.
Talk about it.
"Write about it.
Help to improve it.
"Speak we'll about it.
"Patronize home merchants.
elect good men to the local Of
fees.
"Give them moral support when
in Office.
Induce desirable settlers to To-
cate in it.
LET Home Trade be the watch
word.
Urge public benefits and I'M
provements at all times.
Don't join an unjust criticism
of we'll and attracting officials.
"Show by your support that you
are progressive and appreciative.
Assist i'll promoting every enter
prise for the whole community.
Don't follow calamity shout
ers;' keep in the front rank of pro-
gress and advancement.
Remember that every dollar in
vested in permanent improvements
is that much on interest.
"Speak we'll of the public-spirit-
ed citizens, and show by your zeal
that you are worthy to be one of
them.
"Cheer OIL the men who go in
for improvements. Your portion
of the cost will be nothing only
what is just"
Every town and city has its Ca
lam!ty howlers.' They are OPP
posed to every sort of Improvements.
They kick at the alderman, the
county commissioners, and at every
public-spirited person that is doing
his best for the advancement of the
town and county. They kick il
this or that is done, and they kick
if it is not done. They make their
own lives burden. Better quit.
Join the crowd of pushing, progress
sive citizens. Whoop up your town
and surrounding country. You
will be far happier and your life
will be blessing to your fellow
men.

OUR BOYS

Tine young man today is just what
he makes himself. Good and evil
spreads out before him. He may
choose the good and be a great and
useful man, or be may choose the evil
and be pest to creation, and wealth
counts for but little. There as no
heirs to the throne In America. 1t is
strange, but true, the great men OF
today were the poor boys fifty years
ago. No president had a direct de-
scendant to be president, Few senas
tors have ever seen their sons hold
positions Of honor and trust. The,boy
that will be president 40 years from
now may be ohopping cotton today.
The boy that is honest, sober, emerge
tic and determined gets there. The
boy that is dishonest, dissipated,
slothful and without purpose is worse
than failure. The possibilities for
good or evil of an American boy are
unlimitei.-Ex.

The Gloster Record is in error in
its statement that the present sys-
tenn of working the public roads of
the county has not given satisfac-
ton. Our roads are not as yet
up to the standard of excellence to
which we intend to bring them, but
they are far better than ever before
in the history of the county. There
are portions of the road that are
still bad in wet weather, but these
places are growing less very rapid
ly, and ere long, we will have roads
that it will be pleasure to haul
over, hence we expect to draw trade
to Woodville that has always gone
elsewhere. Our roads are let in
long links and not by districts, but
some of the contractors sublet por-
tons of their roads to farmers at
times, thus allowing them to work
out their own road tax, that of
their farm hands, and make a few
dollars to pay him for his trouble.

Coincident .also with this development
was the decline of silver at Bombay to

At the next meeting Of the Board Of

to introduce an ordinance compelling the

Passenger and Power Company to provide
special seats in all of their cars. both

penalty for any violation. a bitter fight
will be precipitated when the matter comes
up.aani it is safe to say that the street
railroad corporations and the coored
population vii, join hands in a strenuous
effort to defeat the measure.
Mr. Satterfeld has had the matter ui-
de, advisement for some tine and has in
yestisated the manner in which the jim
Grow cars on the railroads work. and he
is firmly convinced that such lesisla ton
in the city of Richmond would fill long

1.-the ordinance in New Orleans. by which
the street railroad companies have been
compelled to partition their cars. thus
| separating the two races. and from re-
ports he has received from the Crescent
City he is of the opinion that it Is a
most admirable law
Mr.. Sattertield has also investigated the
ordinances in Atlanta and Augusta. In
these cities the negroes are compelled to
occupy the two rear seats on all open
cars. and in closed, sde-seated cars. they
are required to sit in3.the rear.
The Alderman from Marshall Ward
thinks such law would meet the situ-
alton in Richmond admirably. and between
now and the time for the December meet
inc OF the Board it is his intention to
confer with the City Attorney and have
such an ordinance framed. He will exert
his best efforts to have both branches of
