Iredell to Vote on Road Bonds.

~Statesville, Feb. 11.-At the good
roads convention which assembled
to-day in the courthouse as per call
by the County Commissioners, eleven
of the sixteen townships in the
ty we're represented. The weather,
and more particularly the bad roads,
kept others way. After organizing
a resolution to the effect that our
representatives be asked to have an
act passed authorizing the county to
call an election on an issue of bonds
not in excess of 100000 for road
improvement was adopted. The
great Importance of good roads
was freely discussed by a number
of those present. A committee con
sisting of Messrs. N. B. Mills, A.
Leazar and T. D. Miller, was named
by the convention, whose duty will
be to draft a bill to be forwarded to
our representatives and ask that the
Legislature pass it.

Good Roads in Rockingham.

Reidsville, N. O., Feb. 10.-The
committee composed of three repre-
sentative citizens from each town
ship appointed by the good roads
convention met in Wentworth yss-
terday and agreed upon the details
of the proposed bond issue to ma
cadamize the public roads of Rock
ingham County. A subcommittee
was appointed to draft a bill to have
enacted at the present session of
the Legislature submitting the ques-
ton of a bond issue to the voters
of this county. The amount agreed
upon was 100000.
Roads aggregating $50 miles were
designated to be graded and ma
cadamized. Our citizens are thor
oughly aroused to the Importance
of good roads, and there will be lit
tie, if any, opposition to the bond
issue.

Asheville dispatch: Copper has
been discovered on the upper waters
of the Big Ivy Creek and large min
ing enterprises to develop it have
been projected. It is understood
that representatives of mining capt.
taIists have taken options on several
tracts of land on which the find is
located.
Charlotte Observer: Mr.. r. W.
Smith will succeed Mr.. Jonas W.
Mullen as postmaster in this city,
and Mr.. D. Kirby Pope will succeed
Mr.. W. S. Clanton as assayer in
charge of the local mint. The an
nouncement of the two appointments
is the final result of a long and

obtain the two best political Offices
in MeckIenburg County.
Exchange: 1t is gratifying to
observe. from the dividends declared,
that there has come a better day to
most of the cotton mills in North
Carolina. The worst thing hat
could happen to this State would be
for most of the cotton mills to go
into the merger. The best thing for
the wners and for the State is that
they shall continue to be conducted
by their native North Carolinian
owners.
Statesville Landmark: MI. UtIey,
who bought his way out of Fayette-
vile jail and hen voluntarily re-
turned and gave himself up, may or
may not be making a play to the gal
leries. There is no doubt that he
could have escaped, if he had wanted
to, Notwithstanding the big reward
offered for him. But his coming
back, ostensibly to save the jailer
from trouble, may stand him in good
stead in two ways. It may lend
force to the plea of insanity his
counsel desired to make for him, or
1t may create sympathy for him as
an exhibition of a fine sense of honor
that should be rewarded by free
dom.

ADVANTAGE OF THE RURAL TELE-
PHONE.
An Example of It's Value in the Capture
of Criminals.

IA great QGal mas D6Gn SalQ 1dG61y
about the arrest of the supposed
safe-crackers in Union County.
Some are disposed to give the
"bloodhounds'' credit, while others
boast on the superior service of
Union County officers. Of course
the "bloodhounds" should have all
the credit due them in the chase
and no one will deny that it takes
nerve to face the deadly fire of such
~desperadoes as those in Monroe jail,
and u officers deserve ~congratula-
tion-deserve a continuance in Office
as long as they are so faithful and
true to the trust ~reposed~in them.
But the most important thing that
makes Union County a net that n
tangles criminals and puts them
behind the bars has scarcely been
mentioned in this connection. We
refer to the extensive and superior
| telephone service in our rural dis
tricts. A few minutes after those
desperadoes opened fire upon the
officers at Monroe, just before day
light, the news was transmitted by
telephone to the neighbOrhood ex-
changes and in a few minutes more
it reached every nook and corner of
the county, EVERYBODY was then on
the lookout and ready to spot any
stranger or suspicious character that
might be seen in the community,
and they we're therefore enabled to
assist the officers in getting quick
information in regard to the where
abouts of the criminals.
It will be remembered that the
Morven safe-crackers who we're
convicted in Arson County Criminal
Court and sentenced to the p~eniten-
tiary, we're arrested at Marshville On
the westbound train which was due
here about nine o'clock at night.
About fifteen minutes before the ar
rival of the train the central re-
ceived a telephone message from
Sheriff Gaddy, of Wadesboro, say
ing, "Arrest the men that got on
the train at Lilesville." There was
no time to lose. Some of those who
assisted in the arrest were in bed,
bud, but when the train arrived they
were in the car almost at the time
it stopped, and covered the despera-
does with revolvers and forced them
to surrender. Does anybody believe
that these criminals, or those at
Monroe, would have been arrested
without the use Of the telephone?
Sometime ago, at the request of
the publisher of The Progressive
Farmer, the writer submitted an ar
ticle on rural telephones" and their
advantages. Among the benefits of
the general establishment of the ru-
raj telephone system we noted that
one of the benefits would be the
tendency to lessen terrible crimes
over the country, inasmuch as it
would render it almost impossible
for a criminal to escape. Our claim
for this advantage has been abund-
antly verified by the arrest of six
MISUNDERSTANDING and cum
ming characters-in Union County.
With ten telephone exchanges, two
others being established, and between
three and foTr hundred tnIonhOnes

the country will sell beef on equal
terms with the local butchers. The
wagons are now taxed $65 a year,
and there is a tax on the butchers.
There are those who contend that the
removal of the tax will make no diff
ference in the price of beef, but such
argument is against reason, or fair
ness at least. The question of pub
lie economy will be sharply up to
those country vendors who declared
to the board of aldermen that they
would sell beef two or three cents
cheaper on the pound if the tax was
removed.
Fayetteville Observer: The people
of Sanford and Jonesboro and the
surrounding section are moving for
a new county, to be called Lee. A
committee, composed of Messrs.
DR.. w. A. Monroe, A. L. Mcneil,
A. A. F. Seawen and VIM. Campbell,
reached Raleigh yesterday to present
the matter. The bill will be intro
duced in the house to-day. The pro-
posed county, with Sanford as the
county seat, includes about 800
square miles, made up as. follows:
From Harnett 81 square miles, from
Chatham 90 square miles, from
Moore ia square miles. The ag-
gregate value of taxable property
is $1.948. 557.
The Carolina Truck and Fruit
Growers Journal, which is just from
the press, says of the strawberry
outlook in Eastern Carolina: "There
is reported a considerable increase
in strawberry acreage at Chadbourn,
CRISIS and various other points along
the W., @. & A. Railroad all the
way to Lake City, S. c., while points
on the Yadkin Division of the At
lantic Coast Line, like Currie, Ivan
hoe, Montague, Atkinson, Parkers-
burg, and as high up as Roseboro,
report more or less of increase in
strawberry and vegetable acreage.
Take the W. W. Railroad, which has
long been the storm centre of straw
berry and vegetable production, and
the acreage increase this year will
not be so great as in past years, al
though the increase on the w. & W.
will be more or less. The condition
of the crop at this time is fully up
to the acreage and in many cases
better, and in the absence of unfore-
seen trouble the yield will be large
and of a superior quality. The peo-
pie are yearly learning to produce
a better quality of berries and other
products of the field and farm, and
are giving more attention to the con-
dition in which their stuff is packed
and goes to market"

the State Superintendent of Public

War and Geography.

According to the Kansas City Jour nal, story is going the rounds in Kan sas that in the 70's Eugene Ware, after | prolonged and desperate struggle to secure a job for a political friend of his, finally got him appointai as con sul al Monila. Where Manila was was then unknown to these two friends, and many geogra phies and encycloped- las were read over before it was locat- ed. And this is the first time. the stcry asserts, that Manila was heard of in Kansas. This alleged ignorance in those days of one of the largest capitals in the orient does not seem wholly in credible.
 A couple Of decades ago an intimate knowledge of the map of the world was possessed by only a few students and travellers. But now geography is a pop ular science. The most casual reader of the newspapers can give a fairly ec- curate description of tho surface of the earth with it's verious people, animals. natural products and political divisions. Countries which to the past generation seemed so far away as 70 he in another sphere of the universe are as well known to us as our neighboring cities. We owe the improvement in our knew ledge of geography to the expansion of trade and commerce, and very largely also to the several wars which have waged during recent times. The tre- mendous influence of immigration to our shores has also inspired many peo- pie to study whence it comes, and thereby have gathered a good general information about Europe.
 But war has eninently been the great teacher of geography. War news al ways makes interesting reading. The soudan campaign and the Anglo-Boer war melted everybody to make an ex- animation of the map of Africa. Our Spanish war and the numerous revo!ts and revolutions in the Latin republics have made the description of the West Indies and South and Central America, a matter of common knowledge. The Philippine insurrection and the disturb ances now in progress in the orient are enabling us ell to talk as inteligently about the islands Of the Pacific. and of China. Japan. Korea and Russia as if they were states in the union.

A Healthy Sign.

In ordering President" Mover and one of his running mates out of town because of their incendiary speeches, the people of Pueblo were strictly with in their rights. Mir. Mover is sending emissaries up and down the land. preaching ganization." Organiza- tion is all right, and the citizens of Pu- eblo did a little organizing for their own protection.
 This loud-mouthed Mover fellow, by virtue of his position as president of the Western Federation of Miners, has been able to work incalculable injury to the working miners of Colorado. Strike after strike has been called, and strike after strike has failed Two thousand five hundred miners at Grip pie Creek were called out on a strike last August, and technically the strike is still "on',-but the places Of the strikers were filled long ago, and the deluded men who followed the Mover band wagon are out of work.
 If the miners wish to be led by Mover, that is their privilege, and it is not the concern of the public. But the public is concerned when Mover howls from the street corners that all prop erty should be owned in common-that the men and women who work for their bread and butter and for their homes, should divide with the loafers that bread and butter and all the other fruits of their honest labor. The people of Pueblo were concerned when Mover and Malich were seen to be taking the preliminary steps which would result in strike of the shelter employees, and it was a mere assertion of an un- questionable right when an invitation was issued to Mover and Malich to get out Cf town.
 The masses in Colorado have at last

A Little Prophecy.

If it becomes necessary for Uncle sam to give Colombia thrashing, the national platforms next summer will contain these paragraphs
 Democratic: We denounce the acqui- sition of Colombia as an outrageous aggression upon free nation. Through the rapacious greed of republican inn perialism, territory in Central and South America has been wrested from a helpless and prostrate people, and tn . flag has been extended over country for which the United States have no use. We coject to holding the Cclom- bians as slaves, and We do not wish to admit them to American citizenship. We view the situation with alarm"
 RepubIican: "Colombia and Panama have been added to American territory, as one of the necessary but unforeseen results of an unavoidable and righteous war The hand Of Providence was in it. The republican party never shrinks from responsibility. We bow to the decrees of Providence We pledge the administration 10 give the inhabitants of the newly acquired territory the full est measure of liberty compatible with stable government. Civilization will fellow the flag. We congratulate the country that the isthmian canal is to traverse a land over which the stars and stripes will wave forever
 And good citizens will pay ther mon ey end take their choice.
