The Automobile and Good Roads.

We are beginning to conclude that
the automobile is not nearly so great
a nuisance as there seemed to be rea-
son to fear a while back.
It still frightens horses, and in the
hands of reckless drivers of the kind
that should be suppressed, is a more
or less serious menace to life and limb;
but it is not without its redeeming
traits.
We would not be so foolish as to
claim that the good roads problem has
been solved. The roads generally are
as bad as they ever have been, and
until they have been thoroughly drain
ed and macadamized where necessary
or desirable, there is no room for loud
growing along that line.
But it is a fact, nevertheless, that
automobile owners generally consti-
tute liberal and broad minded class.
We will avoid dispute by admitting
that there are exceptions to the rule.
On the whole, however, the automo-
bilists very largely include men who
see and do things, and since automo-
billing is very unsatisfactory except
over good roads, the attention Of auto
mobilists Is necessarily becoming fix
ed on the roads.
There Is no other one thing that the
people Of this country can do that will
contribute more to the general pro-
gress, prosperity and happiness than
the creation Of good, permanent roads.
All Of the foremost thinkers Of the
country have been convinced Of this
for more than a generation; but 1t has
always been difficult to make men
move in matters Of this kind, unless
the benefits were put up to them in
such a way as to be beyond reasona-
BILE escape.
All Of the leading farmers Of this
section have all along been ready to
do their part to the extent Of any rea-
sonable sacrifice for better roads, and
now that the automobilists are becom-
ing equally interested and even more
enthusiastic, the outlook is promising
brighter and brighter.
No one must take up the idea, how
ever, that because the automobiles
desire good roads, and are willing to
do anything in reason to secure them,
that they alone will be benefited. Far
from it. The benefits to accrue to the
automobilists will be small indeed
compared with the benefits to accrue
to the country as whole.
There is another feature to the sit
uation that Is not to be discounted too
literally. This is most splendid
country Of ours. It's superior is not
to be found anywhere. We are MAX
ing very good use of it as it is; but
not nearly so much use as We can
make Of it with the right kind Of help.
Among the thousands of automobilists
who are touring the country now there
are many men of wealth who are con-
stantly on the lookout for opportuni-
ties for their surplus energy and cap
ital. Nothing gets closer to these
people than good roads, not so much
on account of the roads as the fact
that the right kind of roads is prima
facie evidence of the right kind of peo-
pie, and it is worth our while to get
men of this kind to come amongst US
and help make things hum.
But whether we attract outsiders or
not, good roads are good investment
within themselves, and our country
will never be what it should be unit
the roads are up to proper standard.

MAYBE it is altogether a matter of
habit; but we prefer to believe that
our southern people have it on our
northern friends in the item of daily
bread that is really fit to eat, and af-
ter an experience Of ten days in north
ern hotels this writer feels impelled
to eXclaim, Great is the humble bis
cult" OF course it is understood that
many people of wide information and
experience claim that the biscuit is
and indigestible, and
perhaps other shortcomings are charg-
ed to it: but we are not convinced.
Generally, throughout the northeast,
they serve for bread some kind of a
substitute that is large in the middle,
sharp at both ends and looks as If it
might be made of flour; but which
has an outer casing that is almost as
tough as vulcaniZed rubber, and
which certainly does not appeal to one
who has long been accustomed to eat

Mr.. R. T. Castles, the well known
carrier on Smyrna r. F. D. No. l, was
in Yorkville, Wednesday, on business,
and although one of the best natured
and most obliging men who has ever
been connected with the rural deliv-
cry service, was in a pretty bad hu-
NOR about the roads. He compares
the roads in York to those in Chero-
kee to the very considerable Gisad-
vantage of the former and says that
the situation has long since reached
the point where patience has ceased
to be a virtue.

to the request Of the Kings Mountain
Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, for funds to be

as much money as it can get up to

derstanding that any surplus over
and above what may be necessary for
dedication occasion, will be used for
the erection of pavilion for the ac-
commodation and comfort Of future
visitors to the battlefield

SPECULATIVE MARKET.

Following were the developments in
the speculative market according to a
New York dispatch Of last night:
While at times irregular, the cotton
market showed a generally firmer tone
today and had sharp advance during
the afternoon with the close firm at a
net gain of II to 20 points. The OPEN
ing was steady at an advance Of 5 to 9
points on better cables than expected
and covering but there was renewal
of bear pressure i'm advance under
which prices eased off to within or 3
points of yesterdays close during the
first few minutes. The market seemed
to be attracting good deal of support,

THE sea island cotton growers of
the coast section are arranging to
build big cotton seed oil mill to take
care OF the surplus long staple cotton
seed. Heretofore these seed have been
sold to planters in Georgia and Flori-

state calculate that If the seed are
made into oil, there will not be quite
so much danger Of competition from
Georgia and Florida.

Mr.. Jones Sells His Cotton.
Chester special to News and Cour.
Ter: Mr.. 8. M. Jones made another
sold to Mr.. s. B. Latham, for the Ma
Meta Mills, at Lando, 179 bales Of
cotton that he has stored at Rock
Hill. The cotton, which represents
the crop on his Moore place, near
Rock Hill, last year, weighed 81,072
pounds, and at 12a cents netted Mr.
Jones $9,981.98. The Moore place is
the fine plantation that Mr.. Jones
sold recently to Mr.. Hughes. Mr.. c.
I. Jones is at Rock Hill today seeing
to the delivery of the cotton.
Big DistiIlery Captured.
Charlotte Observer: The informa-
ton reached the city yesterday Of the
capture Of a large distillery and out
fit by officers in Cleveland county,
just miles south Of Kings Noun
tain, Sunday morning. The capture
was effected about o'clock, the posse
including Deputy Sheriff B. F. Lind
say, Policeman A. B. Hord and two
other men. The posse gathered infor-
nation as to the location Of the out
fit Saturday night, and went to the
place and lay in wait until Sunday
morning about 8 o'clock when two
men approached the still. They clos
Stewart was taken. The still consist
ed of a 100-gallon copper outfit and
500 gallons Of beer. Everything was
carried to Kings Mountain where a
hearing was had before magistrate
Monday and Stewart was released on
bond. The still was placed In the
lookup for safety.
Condition Of the battle-ground.
A joint committee Of the Kings
Mountain chapter, Daughters OF the
American Revolution and of the Kings
Mountain Monument association, went
from Yorkville to Kings Mountain
battle-ground yesterday, to take look
at the situation with a view to deter
mining what Is necessary to be done
on the grounds preparatory for the
dedication exercises to be held on Oc-
tober Z. The committee found the
mountain covered with a thick growth
of timber, tall enough and dense
enough to so completely hide the hand
some new monument, eighty seven
feet high, that 1t cannot be seen, ex-
cept by glimpses, for a distance Of 100
yards in any direction. To invite or
encourage q big crowd to come to the
dedication ceremonies, under existing
conditions, would be absurd, and the
committee was impressed with the
necessity of clearing off a large space
on top Of the mountain, more especial
Iy all of the area between the new
monument and the monument Of 1880.
The new monument may be seen very
clearly from a high point on the road,
about four miles to the south; but ar.
ter that it Is to be seen no more until
the visitor gets within a hundred
yards. The work Of clearing on the
dense growth that covers the noun
tain, will have to be taken up at once,
and the work Of erecting suitable
stand for the speakers and seats for
the large number Of visitors who will
take part in the dedication, will be no
undertaking.
