TO RAISE MONEY.

"The Orphans Aid Club gave a
euchre party for the benefit of their
fund" and the benevolent Associa-
ton will give a soiree dansante at the
City Hall to raise money to pay
church expenses" are notices we have
observed in prominent papers of late.
In the name of High Heaven, how
much of charity or religion or the
milk of human kindness, even, is there
in such movements as these? The
money comes, undoubtedly, as the
price of "a good time" with no thought
or care of orphans or churches; and
the great, moving, invisible forces
that influence this world onward and
upward and that make it better, are
entirely ignored. Money accomplishes
those things that are seen; but the ele
ments of sacrifice; of devotion: of self
abnegation; of individual responsibility
and generous sympathy that make
great and good men and women are all
to the rear. We are becoming a race
of pigmies, spiritually, because of the
lack of cultivation of these virtues:
and, by and by, our pocket books will
be all that is left to distinguish us
as human beings.
Meantime, let US make all the money
we honestly can and give with full
hearts to benevolent objects, without
putting them and the cause they rep
represent to shame, by inuendo and
the shifting of responsibility.

Lawrence County Matters Bad
Roads Complained of.

The late grand jury of Lawrence
county was in session four days, exam
ined $50 witnesses and returned nine
te9n indictments. The two following
paragraphs are copied from their final
report
The public roads of the county are
not in good condition, but from our in
vestigation the fault lies largely with
the Board of Supervisors, who, as
shown by our investigations, do not
require or demand, nor see to it, that
the roads are kept in condition, as it is
their duty under the law to do, and we
earnestly recommend that they take
hold of this matter and see to it that
the roads are improved, and if it is not
done, then we ask your honor and the
district attorney to bring the matter of
their neglect to the attention of the
next grand jury and in ist on indict-
ments not only against the road over
seers, but also against the officers of
the county whose duty it is TO look af
ter the public roads and who do not
do so.
We also recommend that the terms
of the Circuit Court in this county be
changed to more convenient time
say February and August to this
end we respectfully suggest that the
bar of this county and the court and
district attorney cooperate aud con
fer With our representatives in the
Legislature with view of fixing on a
more suitable time to hold our courts
and to making the required and neces
sary change.
Mr.. A. II. Longino, an elder brother
of the Governor and one of Lawrence
county's best citizens, was foreman of
the grand jury.
