The most successful grower is the
one who plans ahead. The farm work
for February should now be all laid
out and during this month the March
program should be made. Of course
the weather and other contingencies
are always likely to interfere; but
having a definite plan to follow is of
as much assistance in farming as in
any other business.

ter distribution of the mails through
rural districts, it should be borne
in mind that the agricultural classes,
while doing more to sustain the
credit of the government and the fin
ancial strength of its people than all
other classes combined, have had the
smallest appropriations made for
their immediate benefit. The urban
population have long been provided,
at the expense of the government,
with messengers for the delivery of
mail. The shipping interests have
had the harbors and rivers improved
to expedite their business. The cities
have been provided with ~postofice
buildings, the architectural beauty
and cost of which surpass those of
any other nation. Railroads have
made Use of the credit of the govern
ment. Ircr masters have depended
upon the &c eminent to construct
great locks and dams for facilitating
the assembling of the materials at
cheap rates for making iron. The
tariff laws have been shaped to bene-
fit the manufacturers. No sane man
objects to the majority of such ap-
preparations. They are needed to
foster and increase the commerce of
the nation. But are they more i'm
portant to the great mass of citizens
than good roads through the coun-
try? Such roads cheaper food and
clothing, extend trade, make many
commodities valuable that are value
less without them save time and in
deed improve the opportunities of
every citizen, whether he lives in the
town or country or is a sailor on the
wide ocean. Good roads through the
rural districts would relieve the con-
gestion of population in the great
cities. Country life, with it's moral
influences, would be made attractive
and pleasant. The dens of vice in
the cities would be deprived of much
of their malign influence. Homes
would be sought after by thousands
who 10Y live in squalor in tenement
houses in the cities. In short,
through government aid in the estab-
lishment of good roads every phase
and every feature of business, social
and educational life would be i'm
measurably advanced.

some form and labor is the ability to
move things from place to place and
it's efficiency depends upon the ease
with which they are moved. No ma
ton has ever yet achieved permanent
renown without good roads or ever
built them and regretted it after
wards. No community in possession
of good roads would be willing to
surrender them upon the repayment
of their cost and maintenance. Of
all the expenditures made by aggre-
gated bodies Or by government agen-
cies, while it may not be the least
felt, it produces the greatest good
and the greatest satisfaction to the
greatest number. Everybody uses
good roads; the millionaire and the
beggar, the black and the white, the
lame and the blind, women and chill
dren all enjoy and participate in the
advantages and blessings of good
roads. They are the morning star of
progress; they are the fountain
heads of trade and commences; they
are the avenues over which pass the
main agencies for the dissemination
of knowledge and the increase of in
telligence, as well as the enjoyments
of social intercourse in rural life.
They provide the means for the per-
Torrance of public duty; of reaching
local markets or shipping points on
the railways. They serve more
country people in the aggregate than
the railroads themselves.
This bill of MI. Brownlow's is most
timely. The rapid extension of the
rural free delivery system now COW
ering 100000 square miles and des-
tied in the near future to be extend
ed to the 100000 people living in
the rural districts, make good roads
a necessity. Why should the UniteI
States, that has attracted supremacy
over all other nations in wealth and
in a worldwide influence in COM
merce and diplomacy, hesitate to en-
ter~upon a work that will bind it's
citizens to it with a loyalty exceed
ing the loyalty of the people of any
other nation whatever? Why hesitate
to do that which every person desires
to be done in some way? Why hest
tate when good roads are the most
important factors in carrying out the
wise provisions for increasing the in
telligence of its citizenship through
rural free delivery? No other highly
civilized nation on earth has so many
bad roads as the United States. Eng
land, France, Germany, Italy, all
have good roads.
This government belongs to the
people. They instituted it for their
own welfare. They are the rulers.
Congress is but one of the agencies
they have created to provide for their
wants and to execute their will. There
is no constitutional barrier to the
building of roads. The same clause
in the Constitution that authorizes
the establishment of postofices au-
thorizes the establishment of post

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
The Rural Science Club of the A.
& M. College held its second meeting
for 1903 a few nights ago. The large
attendance and the excellent pro-
grams rendered at these meetings are
most gratifying. With the new year
has come new enthusiasm and in
creased interest.
At the first meeting of the year in
teresting papers we're read by Messrs.
Finley, Wharton and Warren. New
officers were then elected for the win
ter term. Mr.. W. W. Finley ives
chosen President; Mr.. F. r. Smith,
Vice-President; Mr.. Chesbro, Re
cording Secretary; and Mr.. r. F.
Warren, Corresponding Secretary.
Several new members were admit
ted, and the privileges of the club
were extended to the ten weeks stu
dents. We hope they will take an
interest in the work and be benefited
by their association with us.
At the last meeting papers were
read by Messrs. Temple, Squires
and Finley. Mr.. j. @. Temples
paper on the "Origin and Formation
of the Soil" was both interesting
and instructive. He explained very
clearly and forcibly the processes by
which the soil was formed, and the
causes which led to these processes;
also the action of water, gases, and
glaciers in soil formation and the
composition of soil.
Mr.. Squires' subject was "Plant
Breeding" He told of the progress
that has been made along this line
in recent years and discussed the
methods of plant breeding by which
new varieties and disease-resisting
varieties are produced.
Mr.. ". W. Finley's paper, "Why
North Carolina Should be the Great
est Dairying State" was one of the
best read before the club. He laid
special stress on the agricultural pos
of our State and her natural
advantages as a dairying State; need
of trained labor and the necessity of
better business methods in dairying.
Then came the debate. The query
Was "Resolved, that intensive farm
ing IS more profitable than extensive
farming" The speakers on the af-
were Messrs. Beavers and
Lipe, while Messrs. Talton and Viii
son advocated the negative. Both
sides put up some good arguments
but the judges decided in favor of
the negative. The discussion then
become general and some additional
good points we're scored by both
sides. r. T. w.

Editor or Inc progressive FARMER
There is no questioning the fact
that the subject of road building is
engaging the attention of the people
of the United States to a greater ex-
tent than ever before in the history
of the country. Not only is the sub
ject discussed in every county, town
ship and civil district, but the legis-
Iatures of the several States are be-
ginning to listen to the coming storm
of public applause or public indigna-
ton by devising methods to improve
the roads. But by far the most i'm
portant, because the most compre-
hensive, movement inaugurated is
that of the bill presented to Congress
BY the Hon. w. P. Brownlow of Ten
nessee. In it's scope this bill provides
for national aid in road Improvement
to every political division or subdi-
vision of the country. Section u of
the bill provides "that one-half of the
expense of the construction shall be
paid by the Treasurer of the United
States upon the warrant of the
Comptroller, issued upon the requisi-
ton of the director of said Bureau,
out of any specific appropriations
Il ade to carry out the provisions of
this act, and one-half of the expense
II ereof shall be paid by the State or
political subdivision thereof making
al ~pIication for the cooperation pro-
v;ded for: Provided, that nothing
herein shall be construed to prevent
e. State or political subdivision
t. ereOf from distributing the said
half 81. that the State may pay a por-
ton, the county a portion, and the
owEers of the land abutting upon
said road another portion. And pro-
viGed further, that no money be ad-
vshCed by the United States in pay
rent of its portion of the cost of
construction as provided for, except
a the work of actual construction
progresses, and in no case shall tn
payment or payments made thus
prior to the completion of the work
be in excess of eighty per centum of
the value of the work performed, but
IN all cases twenty per centum must
be held until the completion of the
work according to the plans and
specifications and to the satisfaction
OF the director of said Bureau"
This is a wise provision and will
put every community upon it's met
tie. Those that are imbued with the
SnIrlt of progress and improvement
Will not hesitate to avail themselves
OF this assistance IN building good
roads. The passage of this bill will
be a distinctive and era-making event
IN the LEGISLATION of the country. To
II who properly considers all the
benefits that will accrue to the nation
II to all its citizens by the passage
OF this bill, it must be conceded that
no other legislat.v- has ever been
traught with so much good for the
people and with such grand POSSIBLE
ties. Say what we please about the

amidst applause. Next in order was
Mr.. Dearman, a learned and accom-
plished young man, who, in pleas
ant and interesting manner, sug-
gested to the people the ropriety of
giving him the office of chancery
clerk. He has host of friends and
many were pleasantly impressed
with his remarks. Mr.. McCallum,
the man always in good humor, but
never known to smile, with his usual
"otium cum dignitate" beguiled the
tagging hours with a speech h, occupy
ing his full time, replete with wis
dom and both historical and tradi-
tional reminiscence. He is native
and to the manner born and bears
J both his age and honors well. He
did not pretend to inform bul
to remind the people, especially the
lad ss, that he was sti on his first
legs and there was life in the'' old
land yet. His speech, though not
q spell binder, was interesting from
start TO finish. Then came Mr.. Tom
Batson, that prince of fine gentle
men, who, after few minutes argu.
ment, convinced his hearers that he
was ready, capable and anxious t
serve them for the next four years al
chancery clerk. In fact he showed
that, to an eminent degree, he possess

MAYOR REFUSES
To Negotiate Loan to Pay Police
men Who Haven't Worked
Committee Appointed.

Tuesday night at an adjourned
meeting of the city council, an ac
count of which appeared in yester-
days Progress, an order was passed
asking that the mayor and the clerk
negotiate loan of $1S15. 80 to pay
policemen, part of which was to pay
certain policemen who have never
done any duty whatever. Much OPP
position to this measure was shown at
the time by the mayor and one or
two aldermen, and it was opposed by
many of our best citizens. Last
night third meeting was held, the
board having adjourned at its last
meeting to meet again at this time,
and the mayor, in a few positive
terms explained that he thought the
move very impolitic and unjust, and
therefore refused to negotiate the
loan. The following orders were then
passed:
"Ordered that the action of this
board taken last night giving the
mayor and clerk the authority to
negotiate a loan of $1815. 30 be re-
scinded.
Ordered that the board appoint
committee to negotiate loan and
sign the note for the city for the sum
of s1815. So"
The committee appointed consists
of O. J. Bowen, H. G. Greer and G.
W. Smith. These gentlemen have
already obtained the required amount,
and it is now in the city treasury
awaiting the action tonight
A great deal of interest is felt By
all the citizens of our city in this
proceeding, and every movement
made by the mayor or the city
fathers is very keenly watched.
The Progress does not think it in
cumbent upon itself to say who is
right or wrong in this undignified
wrangle. Each side, of course,
thinks it is right, and especially are
the majority of the aldermen OBJ
durate and unbendinR in their views.
The Progress does think, however,
that when the city's interests, the
city's finances, the city's welfare,
are at stake such prejudice and per-
sonalities as are exhibited should be
lain aside. If they will get outside
of their official capacities and scrap
it ont we will stand around with
many other delighted spectators and
sic 'em on and bet on the best man,
but as long as they are in office there
should be more unselfish work,
for the best interests of the people,
more decorum and more broad mind
edness.
Tonight will decide whether or not
the money will be paid.

After this came dinner. To say
that it was sumptous repast would
but inadequately describe the rich
and varied feast that was spread for
those who came in on an errand of
pleasure. 1t was a success all around
and everybody forgetting for awhile
the cares and anxieties of life seemed
perfectly happy.

county candidates. Dan Currie, the

elected he expected. to hold on to it.
Then followed the other boys
John Dossett, George McInnis and
Steward Bagart-who also announc-
ed their candidacy for this office and
thanked the people in advance for
their votes. Each one, doubtless,
felt that he would be a sure winner.
