The districts in the city where the
property owners refuse to improve are
the ones that will suffer most in the
advance of property values. In a city
in which all of its sections are so
admirably located from drainage
and accessibility standpoint, no portion
can afford to permit another to make
more civic improvements than it has.

GOOD ROADS FOR
THE APPALACHLANS
Answer to Question How to Get Them
Appropriate the Money and
Spend it Intelligently.

Mr.. M. L. Shipman, commissioner
of Labor and Printing, North Caro-
lima, addressed the Good Roads Con-
gress recently held in Asheville, in
the following clear aud pointed sug-
gestions, which we print in full as
helpful in the great campaign of edu-
cation along this line as basis of
our continued progress and develop
ment:
Mr.. Presidert and gentlemen:
The object OF this meeting has
been clearly and tersely stated: How
can We obtain good roads in the
Southern Appalachian Mountains?'
TO this the obvious answers are:
Ii2ve the will to get them: get the
money to build them: spend the mon
ey light. These things mean. or
con:sc, the collective will. the con-
certed action, the unselfsh purpose
OF the whole people. And that is an
idle ideal without education. The
first step therefore is to preach. to
demonstrate, to insist: to advertise
and illustrate: to repef and and re-
iterate. There will be need too OF
tact, need of statesmanship, need of
Tatience. The instruction must be
concrete, in words OF one syllable, in
examples Of dollars and cents. Before
the collective impulse Is obtained,
there will have to be individual con-
victiCn-conviCtion and conversion.

FATE.

Two shall be born the whole wide
world apart,
And speak in different tongues and
have no thought
Each Of the others being, and no
heed;
And these DER unknown seas to UNI
known lands
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying
death;
And all unconsciously shape every
act,
And bend each wandering step to this
one end
That one day out Of darkness they
shall meet,
And read hfe's meaning in each
others eyes.
And two shall walk some narrow way
Of life
So nearly side by side that should
one turn
Ever so little space to left or right,
They needs must stand acknowledged
face to face;
And yet with wistful eyes that never
meet;
With cropping hands that never clasp,
and lips
Calling in vain to ears that never
hear,
They seek each other all their weary
days,
And die unsatisfed, and this is Fate.

MYSTERY ABOUT THE MAINE.

The Sulzer bill providing for the
raising of the Maine and the burial
Of the 63 seamen now held in the
wreck, has been before the house com
mittee on naval affairs nine months,
and it promises to die in It's hands.
A call for letters and data brought
forth nothing Of value or public in
terest. But all feel that there is some
reason why influential men at Wash
ington do not desire to see the Maine
raised.
The Spanish contingent in Cuba say
the Americans refuse to raise the
Maine because the fact would then
stand exposed that the ship was sunk
by an interior explosion-that the
Spaniards had nothing to do with the
explosion, and that American officers
should be punished for the loss Of the
ship.
BE all that as it may, there is hest
tation over an appropriation, say,
100000, for the raising of The ship.
% No American" said Mr.. Sulzer, is
afraid of the truth" This is no doubt
true of the great properties of our
citizens, but it is plain there is a
small circle at Washington which is
able to defeat year after year any at
tempt to appropriate money for the
raising of the Maine. In other words,
there is a degree of mystery in the
case.-Birmingham Age-Herald.

ONLY POOLING US.

The row in congress over the presi
dents message is a little at variance
with consistency Our lawmakers, as
a general thing, are not more, godly
than they should be- IF we had as
good legislators as an intelligent band
Of monkeys would have a right to ex-
pect we would have had a let-up on
the panic that has held the country
in it's grasp for more than a year, be-
fore now, and less businesses would
have gone to the wall We would have
had fewer orphans for our good peo-
pie to have been taking up collections
for. The large cities bread lines
would not have been altogether so
long. However, Roosevelt's policy
does not indicate that he has any care
for anything save 7. R. and family.
If the people could get their consent
to change horses at least we couldn It
be hurt. The devil in hell couldn It
give us much worse laws than some
we have. We grow criminals and
paupers by law and tax the people to
imprison and maintain them. It is so
strange that we can't understand that

fruit. Why should we be surprised
at condition that We have created?

THE STEEL TRAP.

The steel trap and other traps,
largely used by rabbit catchers and
game keepers, have been well describ-
ed as abominable devices, both as
means Of destruction and as instru-
ments Of torture most horrible, for
not only do the sharp teeth by which
sthe victim is held and lacerated cause
excruciating pain, but this pain is
often prolonged for days and weeks
together, until the keeper or some
passer-by may happen to visit the
spot and put the sufferer out Of his
misery. Household pets are also often
caught in these traps. Laws should be
passed forbidding the use of such
cruel and criminal contrivances.- Our
