as could be spared we're posted and a
master-of-arms stationed at the sinks.
Tho number of men allowed ashore az

possible 1t was, OF course. an easy mat

stir themselves and SEQ to 1t that we arc
not imposed upon longer. ana that Vlr-
ginia ono OF theG Oldest States of the

In North Carolina the roads are worked
by convlcts and are among the finest In

manent. It Is a well konwn fact that In
countries where roads are perfect the
sol! is In a higher state Of cultivation
and property is doubly as valuable as It
Is In those countries In which they are
not. It Is interesting to see the care
which the l1mperors OF Rome bestowed
unon their highways. They built roads
which run from Rome through the coun-
try In every direction to the most remote
parts Of tho empire. Their object In this
was to have a way by which they could
rapidly transport bodies OF troops in case
OF rebellion. The value OF having these

To obtain some Idea OF the pormanency
OF these roads, let us take note Of ono
Z Of them, known as the Applan Way. This
great thoroughfare was over 15o0 miles
long. 1t was wiue enough for twenty
men to march abreast, and was con-.
structed OF stone through It's entire length.
This road still stands. and Is doubtless
the greatest ever built. BY means OF
these roads the Emperors kept In touch
With tho affairs OF the whole empire, It
was to these roads that Rome doubtless
owed her supreme dominion over tho
world. When our people begin to realize
the Importance OF having good roads
We shall DO greater pow or than Rome
