GOOD ROADS IN EDaEcoMBE.

We have a special road tax Our road
law has been in effect about eight years,
and marked Improvement could be seen
on all the roads In the county. Our
reads, generally speaking. are much bet
ter than any county that joins us, where
they have the old system. Our people
favor the roads being kept up by taxa
ton. Good roads enhance the value of
real property which they pass through.
Well, as to my views it is almost impos-
sible to have a prosperous community
without good roads. ] think II the next
Legislature will pass some laws so that
all persons convicted Of crime, If the
penalty is not over five years, that any
county in this State, which might enact
a tax for working the public roads by
taxation, might have said convicts at a
minimum cost TO keep their roads in
good condition and the State quit farm

GOOD ROADS IN WILKES.

Wilson township has special tax Of
10 cents on the 800 worth OF property
and 80 cents on the poll. The short term
convicts are worked on the roads in said
township, averaging now about thirty in
number, and the roads have been con-
slderably improved. There have been
about eighteen miles Of road graded to
an average width OF about thirty-seven
feet. The people are highly pleased
with the road work. AS proof OF the
favor in which the road work is received
not but one land owner has applied for
damages for land taken In widening the
roads and there has been no kicking
against the road tax that / know Of.
The roads in The balance of the county
are worked by the old system and their
condition is not good. The people are
beginning to realize the necessity OF good
roads and I think the step taken in our
county In improving roads will continue
TO go forward. 1t is clear to me that
the short term convicts should be worked
on the roads and let the State stop so
much convict farming.

North Wilkesboro, N. c.. Feb. 4, 1902.

No special tax has ever been levied in
the county for the improvement of the
public roads. THE matter has been agi-
tated number of times but nothing
tangible has ever resulted therefrom.
AS to the condition OF our public roads
here now, and always at this season of
the year, will say that the majority of
them are In bad condition, getting at
times in some places impassable, so that
vehicles have TO turn out in the fields and
use temporary roads through the woods.
Our people are largely engaged in the
lumber business, thus creating an inn
mense amount of travel over the roads.
AS to the sentiment of the people as
regards special tax for roads will say
that in my opinion the majority OF our
best people favor it, and l do not think
our roads will ever be what they should
be or what our people would like to have
them be until they are in part at least
kept up by taxation.

Christian Science in the field where the
veterinarian and expert on animal dis
eases have ever been alone.
Mrs. Jones is a member of the First

it to a Christian Science practitioner
to see if something could not be done
to relieve it. The practitioner n Mrs.
Jones worked on the dog for five hours,
at the end Of which time they were
thrilled to see the animal recover from
it's injury and suffering and seamprr
about the room livelier than even.
Mrs. Jones took the dog home, mar
Yelling at the cure, n determined then
and there that a new field was opening
for Christian Science. A few days later
she learned that Mrs. Hayden, a neigh
Dor, who is a dig fancier, was greatly
alarmed because of the illness of three
of her dogs, one a Blenheim, valued at
$500, and two Japanese spaniels, worth
as much. She went at once to Mrs.
Hayden's home and related to her the
marvellous cure science a performed
and offered to give Mrs. Haydens ami
mails the treatment.
Mrs. Hayden consented, and three Of
the sick dogs were taken home Dy Mrs.
Jones, who began to treat them. The
logs improved rapidly, until all were
cured in a short time. All the dogs had
combined distemper and pneumonia and
had been pronounced ~incurable by Il
dog doctor. All the afflicted onimals are
now in perfect health.
81 have proved beyond a doubt said
Mrs. Jones yesterday, that Christian
| Science will cure dumb animals. 1t is
| easier to cure animals by science than
| it is human beings, because one does
| not have to overcome the fears and
doubt that exist in the minds OF per-
sons. The dumb animal will do what
he believes he can do, whereas a man
| or a woman will wonder and fear and
| doubt. The mind Of the animal is not
| distracted with a thousand other Things
