Virqinia Advocates Good Roads.

At recent meeting of the Com.
nercial club of Virginia, the ques'
ton of good roads for the farming
districts around that city was dis.
cussed. It was shown that there is
much good agricultural land trib-
utary to Virginia. 1t appeared also
that numerous settlers have en-.
tered on much of this land and are
opening up good farms.
Attention was directed to the set.
Element in the Pike river valley
where two hundred Finlanders
have established themselves and
are developing the country. :
1t was decided that improved
roads were absolutely necessary for
the business welfare of both town
and country. A committee was APP
pointed to push the matter. The
good example set by the club
should be followed by similar or
$anization in every town in ST.
LOUIS county.
It is true that this is not a new
proposition, because it has been
discussed before and it is obvious
that when good lands are cut off
from market by unbridged streams
and DOGGY swamps, farmers cannot
get to market with their produce.
1t is big undertaking to make
and improve the necessary roads in
St. Louis county, and for this rea.
son every public body should push
the cause along, and do as the Vir.
ginia Commercial club is doing

The Editor as a Politician,

AT a recent state editorial associa-
ton meeting the above topic was
vigorously handled by one who has
evidently. had wide experience and
the conclusion is for the editor to
cut out politics and charge for
political advertising as he would
for any other business. The sum
mary of the paper is we'll worth
reprinting for the good of the pro-
fession, as it touches the point of
the controversy. 1t is as follows:
"Advertising is unquestionably
of value, whether it is a display tel:
ing of the advantages of buying at
certain grocery store or local
setting forth the merits and won
derful deeds of candidate for con-
gress, and there is no more reason
why one should be paid for than
the other.
"Governor Douglas, of Massa-
chussetts, last fall showed what
newspaper advertising can be made
to do for the politician, and he did
not ask the boys to take cheap po-
litical promises for their stock in
trade either, but he paid for it in
cash.
"Political advertising will be de-
veloped wonderfully during the
next few years, and I believe the
publisher of the country weekly
ought toget wise and get next.
"Political parties have been
spending great quantities of mon.
eyfor every conceiva Bile scheme that
might possibly influence a voter.
The stump speaker is paid, the sa-
loon keeper is paid and the ward
heeler gets share. The mine boss
gets hundred to spend with the
boys, the section boss gets a hand
out, and the livery stable is paid
literally. The bill poster is paid
for his work, a little money is
thrown into the opera house pro-
gram, and hundred other schemes
get pull on the barrel. Every
body gets cash for his services but
the newspaper man, and his chief
compensation is a copy of the Con.
gressional Record and sack of
government seeds."-Inter State

Especial to News and Observer
AsheVille, N. c.. Nov 29.-Demo-
cratic waters have been troubled vio-
lently in this the Tenth Congression-
al District. by the publishing OF an
open letter by NJ. l.. Shipman, Chair
man of the Democratic Congressional
Committee for this District, last year,
III which lie says that Congressman
j. M. Gud&er, Jr., agreed to retire
at the close Of this, his second term
in the United States Congress, if he
were nominated by the last Demo
cratic Convention. Mr.. Shipman says
that there was much opposition to Mr..
Gudger in hi sOWn party and that
MI. Gudger voluntarily agreed to
retire at the close of his second term
If nominated b reclamation. and
e4ected again"
This letter was drawn by the re-
cent informal announcement that
Congressman Gudger would be a can-
didate for "a third term. When asked
concerning the matter this morning.
the Congressman stated that his
name would probably be presented to
the convention. He further stated
that he had never made or authorized
such promise.
1t is understood that Mr.. Kirkpat-
rick, secretary of the Congressional
executive committee. has stated that
he has no information of any promise
of agreement as Mr.. Shipman alleges
Mr.. Gudger made.
Mr. A. II. Johnson. Of this city, who
was in the Congressional campaign
last year, and who reported 1.-THE polit-
zeal speeches made by Mr.. Gudger
during the Campaign, states that he
knew nothing Of such promise and
that he was under the impression that
Mr.. Gudger intended to run for Con-
gress So long as he pleased the people.
and was to stand on his record fo'
reelection.
In the course of his letter Mr. Ship
man saws that Hon Ii. r. Crawford is
the logical candidate for the race.
Mr.. Gudger's friends say that Mr..
Shipman has gone out Of his way to
hit the Democratic member Of Con-
gress and that he is using his office of
Chairman TO help defeat the re-nomi-
nation of Mr.. Ciudger. IF Mr.. Ship
man was under the impression that
Nh Gudgcr was not going to run
again and spread this impression over
tned iStrict." said one today. why did
he not simply state that instead of
going out Of his way to tell why Gud-
ger should not be renominated."
ASheVille Republicans on the oth@:
hand are iubiant. They say that a
division i'm the "a Democratic camp
means that they viii elect a Congress
man from this District next year.
Richmond Pearson and J. j. Britt are
both suggested as possible Repubi.-
can candidates Nj Pearson is al
present minister to Persia but the
opinion has been expressed here that
he would accept the nomination.
Democrats and Republicans alike
are awaiting with interest the specific
reply that Mr.. Gudger says be will
make to the letter written by Nh.
