why some houses of ill-fame run in

For Road Commissioners.

The Importance Of Offices that pay
well is too evident, because Of the
number of worthy aspirants for same.
But the other kind, in which there
is no pay and nothing material ex-
cept unjust criticism, are 100 little
emphasized. So when through love
of their county and a wealth Of pub
lie spirit, good, sound, competent
men allow themselves to be run for
these Offices, they should be elected
with a hurrah. OF no Office can this
be said with greater truth than Of
the road commissioners - an office
which gives little compensation for
the work done, but one which re-
quires a good and worthy man. To
day Union county ranks high in the
column Of the best road counties in
the State, and it is all due TO the
system now in practice. Can we af-
ford to let this system 60 to pieces,
when even the casual observer sees
the large benefits derived from it?
We say no, and so does every other
sober minded man. II canvass was
made Of every man available for the
office, no three men could be found
who would be more competent, or
more just in the equal distribution
of good roads, than ]. NJ. Farley,
Frank Wolfe, and NJ. X. Lee.
J. NJ. Farley is the veteran road
commissioner, and never has there
been a better one. Although he has
come in for his share Of censure, it
was always from some hothead and
undeserved. He is free from the
faint Of Partially, and deserves more
credit than any other man for the
present good roads Of Union county.
NJ. X. Lee is another sound man,
who is soft OF speech, but who does
things. And a man who has done
things for himself, can be depended
on to do things for other people. So
elect NJ. X. Lee and you will have a
man who will be faithful TO his trust
and one who will honor the office.
OF Frank Wolfe the same can be
said. He is the kind of man Shakes
peare must have been thinking about
when he said, IAN honest man is the
noblest work Of God"
These three men would form a tri-
umvirate Of road commissioners who
would make road history in Union
county just as the old triumvirs made
Roman history. So let all honest
voters, who have a conscience and a
desire for good in Union county,
elect these men and thus advance our
county higher in column Of counties
with good roads in North Carolina.

BALLOONIST DROPS TO DEATH.
In Making q Double Leap. Second
Parachute Fails to Open and
Luckless Ian Falls to Earth---
Head Impaled on Limb of Tree.

New York Dispatch. 18th.
Benny Prinz, a young balloonist,
met horrible death this afternoon
at the close of the aviation meet at
Asbury Park, n. J. In making a
double parachute drop, the second
parachute failed to open and he fell
more than 1000 feet. As the sway
ing body neared the ground, it struck
the limb of an apple tree and the
boys head was transfixed on the
limb like an apple on spit. As it
struck the ground, the headless body
was crushed into an unrecognizable
mass.
Prinz was &c years old and a dar-
ing balloonist. With Samuel Hart
land Of Newark he went up in a hot
air balloon. At the height of 1000
feet Hartland cut loose with one para
chute and made successful land
ing. Lightened by the drop Of Hart
land, the craft shot up until it reach
ed about 1900 feet. Then Printz cut
loose. Those who saw his figure, say
he fell 500 feet before his parachute
opened. He sailed slowly earthward
for another thousand feet and then
cut loose again. There was another
terrific drop of about 500 feet when
the second parachute opened. 1t
checked his fall for a second, then
the ropes snapped and the body Of
the young man shot straight down.
Over and over the figure turned,
faster and faster, gaining momentum
with each revolution. He was shoot
ing down head first when he crush
ed into the tree, impaling his head
on a limb. In the headless trunk
every bone was broken. Several Of
those who witnessed the accident
tainted from horror OF the tragedy.
