Good Roads the Slonan-

We read that good roads is now the
slogan of Virginia. Well, it is time.
If years ago our legislators had looked
around and grasped the idea of putting
the idle and vicious of our negro pop
ulation to work on the roads instead
of feeding and clothing them in con-
finement in the penitentiary and the
jails of the state, what progress we
would have made and how the old
state would have bloomed! But our
road laws have long been a chapter Of
accidents and mistakes, and they are
by no means what they should be now.
And we are reminded that the town
and district of Chase City have never
had the credit due them for their
leadership at road building. Intellectual
though they were. We would have ha !,
our roads long ago but for inopera
tive and defective laws. Counties have
voted recently goodly sums for road
building, but no one district has yet
voted $4,000 for the improvement of
it's roads. So we are at the head Of
the class and claiming the champion
ship.-Chase City Progress.

Elisha Winter OF Boston, New Eng
land organizer of the Retail Mer-
chants association Of the Unteed
States and Canada, is in Putnam, after
working many Of the towns OF Wind
ham county in an endeavor to join the
merchants in a union that offers them
protection from many business evils.
His success has been very fiattering,
and members have been secured in
about every town.
Windham county will be organized
by May l. and concentrated effort
made by the members to secure imme-
diate benefits. Regulated credit and
fair competition are among the ends
to be sought. The organization Is
bending every effort to interest the
iegislatore from this county in Tho
passing of house bill No. 40, whsch
provides for the equitable process of
collection now IN operation In Massa-
chusetts.
At present Connecticut is without
any protection for retail merchants in
granting credit. The association also
makes war on trading stamps and ad-
vocates legislation that places a tax on
their use It also aims at the dead
beat, that ever present vampire al
ways and everywhere sucking at part
Of the business mans profit.
Those who have identified themselves
with the association win hold a mast
ing in Putnam next Thursday evening,

When Rogers Wasn't So Clever.

l like compliments. l deal in them
myself / have listened to some of
them which have been paid to Mr..
Rogers and hope some of them are
deserved. 1t is no small thing to be
classed with Napoleon and Julius
Caes ar as you have classed Mr.. Rogers.
Why didn't he say it was the proudcst
moment of his life, like julius Caesar
did? They can't be here to defend
themselves, but I'm here. Napoleon
built fifty roads and your POSTMASTER
here has put Mr.. Rogers, who. has
built only one road. in that class, and
he has not got that done yet. like t.
hear him complimented, but l don't like
to hear it overdone.
The chairman says Mr.. Rogers is
full of practical wisdom. Well. he is.
He intimated thai he is ingenious and
clever and all that. He may be now,
but he wasn't always so. | know Dri
vate things in his life and how he
started, and his start wasn't so good.
l could have done it better myself.
He doesn't like to appear ignorant, ?ut
he can look as ignorant as anyone.
/ remember when he took his first
trip across the Atlantic. He didn't
like to ask questions and show his ig-
norance, so he just kept quiet and OBJ
served. On the way over some of the
young Englishmen got to betting on
the time the ship was making. They
got young Rogers into the bet and
finally got him to wager half a crown,
but he didn't know what half a crown
was, so he went to bed and tried to
figure out what he had bet. He didn't
now whether half a crown was money
or what. He figured it out that a
crown belonged to a king and that it
was probably worth $4,000, but he
DIDN'T know whether it was customary
to be betting kings crowns or not. If
a crown was worth $4,000 he thought
half a crown was worth $4,000, and he
thought that was too much money to
hazard on a bet, so he got out of bed
dressed himself and hunted up the
young man he had bet with and gave
him $3.50 to call the bet off.-From
