Roads and Schools.

Kentucky needs two things above
all else-good roads aud good
schools. ln our strenuous politics
we have greatly neglected both of
thesethings.
We can obtain them only by
arousing interest sufficient in the
different communities to sustain
the schools and improve the roads.
The state can give its eountenance
aud encouragement to plans for
the Improvement Of the school svs-
ten and for the Improvement Of
the roads, but good roads and
schools will depend largely upon
support; upon the conviction in
every locality that roads and
schools are worth having and worth
paying for.
Time was when Kentucky had
the best roads OF any State in tn,
Union, but for half century we
have been building railroads to the
neglect of our turnpikes and new
county roads. Every part OF the
State should take an interest In
this road question. 1t is well tt
build railroads, but we can leave
that work to capitalists, to the
home capitalists, or to the foreign
capitalists, but we cannot expect
foreign capitalists to build oul
country roaGs. Every railroad sta
ton should be the center OF gooC
roads movement, reaching out II
every direction, bringing that i'm
mediate country into direct anC
easy connection with the railroad
system.
y like interest should be takel
in the Improvement CT Kentuck,
schools. We want first OF all liber
al support Of our schools, aud W,
need better understanding OF til,
educational needs OF our people
There have been men in eacI
party who have occasionally Spoken
for good roads aud good schools
No public man has yet outlined
the system or proclaimed polio,
which would give every communi
ty means OF securing a good educa
ton to every child in 1t and con
nection through good roads witt
the outside world. We suggest t
the ambitious politicians in eacI
party that they consider these mat
ters and offer to the people Of Ken
lucky policies logical and contiu
uous, which, followed year afte
year, would transform the State

A Night Alarm.

Worse than an alarm OF fire at

BY WIRE.
Virginia. Carolina Struggle Will be
Received in Detail While 1t Takes
Place

Football by wire is the way the
Wilmington people will receive the
news of the great Thanksgiving
struggle On the gridiron between
Cardinals valiant eleven and her
sturdy Nirginian opponents. OF
course, that is the amer In which
all news of this character is received
here, but in this instance it means
more han the telling of the final
score and even more than an occa-
sional bulletin. 1t means q detailed
report of the game while it Is in
progress. Through the medium of
the wire the game from start to fin
ish will be told, which is compelled
to be exciting, even if the sight of
the swaying Drawn and muscle on
the field n the hearing of the deaf
enlng yells of the rooters are lack
ing. This can readily be imagined.
The story of the game to be thus
Interestingly told will take place in
the auditorium of the Young Mems
Christian Association and will be re-
celved over a leased wire. Every
yard gained, every run made and
every touchdown scored will be told
almost as soon as it takes place.
The story by wire will commence
tomorrow afternoon at the same
time the gridiron battle begins. The
price of admission will be % cents.
