lien, ". /. Spoon 10 Address The People
Of the County al Halifax on The
Subject Of Coed Roads.

On Monday, March 21st, there
will be held in Halifax q public
meeting whose purpose IS OF vital
interest to every citizen Of Halifax
county.
Hon. ". L. Spoon, Highway Com
missioner for North Carolina, will
address the people Of the county in
the interest Of good roads. 1t is
highly important that the people
hear him. Mr.. Spoon is conversant
with the various systems OF road
building, and it viii be Of great in
terest to our people to learn about
the hest system for building reads
in this county.
The subject Of good reads has
been discussed from so many sand
points and by SO many able and ex-
perieacod men that there IS little
more TO be said further than to EN-
phasize what has been said and urge
the people to act upon the informal
ton they already have. 1t may he
aid, however, that one SHOWS NM
self far behind the march Of progress
in North Carolina and the entire
South to say that the building ct
! better roads is not highly important
to every class Of citizens IN the
country. ;.
! But Of all classes to be directly
benefited by improved roads the
farmers are CHIEF. 1t has been well
and wisely said that a chain IS no
STRONGER than its weakest link. and
as trutnfully Ray it be said that a
road IS little better than its mud
diest mile.
The farmer VINO loads his wagon
at his barn door or cotton gin 20
cariv d load of produce to town must
reckon for his team on the worst
stretch OF read between his gate afid
his market town. Both the amount
Of load he is to carry and the time
it takes to make the trip are to be
considered, as well as the comfort
and preservation of his team.
Given a community with fairly
fertile lands and Gcod roads to mar
kets, and the farmers have an ad
vantage that nothing can countecact
With such conditions IN every com
:nunity in Halifax county The farm
ers here will outstrip those IN othe'
regions with whom they are a!read,

commissioners Visit Halifax.

The county commissioners Of Pitt,
and those who went with them, had
. pleasant visit in Halifax on Thurs
day. The purpose OF the commission-
ers in going there was to inspect the
new court house the county Of Hall

court house Pitt must soon nave;
Halifax certainly has beautiful ana

commenced on it last July ana It is
now nearing completion. The 1lrst
court will be held in it the latter
part Of this month.
Our commissioners were taken IN
charge by Mr.. S. M. Gary, clerk OF
Superior court of Halifax, who show
ed them every courtesy. Clerk Gary
is very proud of the new court house
of his county, and justly SO. He broke
the first ground for the building and
has watched every step in It's progress.
He has placed on the wall in his oiilce
IN the new building marble table
containing the name and date OF ser
vice of every Superior court clerk
Halifax has had. His own term began
in 1894 and has continued without
interruption until now, and from the
way his fellow countymen speak OF
| him he is likely to serve many years
more, if not for life.
After being shown over every NOOK
and corner Of the new court mouse
from basement to dome, the visitors
we're taken to the Masonic hall that
contains many historical relics. There

HOW TO CURE RHEOAATISM.
Il is an internal Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.

The cause of rheumatism and KIN
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
IN the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled
and the system so regulated that no
more acid will be formed in excess
i've quantities. Rheumatism is an IN
ternal disease and requires an inter-
nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and
liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you
to delay proper treatment, and al
lows the malady to get firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the
pain, but they will no more cure the
Rheumatism than paint will change
the fibre of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested IN
hundreds of cases, it has effected
the most marvellous cures; we be-
lieve it will cure you. "Rheumaclde

In his charge to the Grand Jury
at Hendersonville last week Judge
Webb created quite a sensation by
declaring that the practice Of some
politicians of paying poll taxes in Or
der to secure votes was very disrup-
table and should be condemned by
honest voters. He also said:
"Under the statute poll taxes could
only be paid by the voters themselves
and not by others whose purpose ii
was to secure their votes, that the
payment of such taxes under such
conditions was nothing less than bri-
berry and both the Giver and the Ia
ker were guilty under the law
We need more Judges, as well as
other people, to speak out against
these evils.
