With the coming Of June came
also a whlte-winged visitor, who,
on the Goth entered the home s0l
MIR. and Mrs. Med. Reid, near
Morganton, N. c., and carried
With him their Emma, thus cut-
ting of her life at twenty-three
beautiful years.
1t was on March %, 1883,
that she had come into their; lit
tie home near Blowing Rock,
right under the protecting eye Of
the old Grandfather mountain
that lies with shining face from
his too-close gaze into heaven.
Eleven years later there was
rejoicing among the angels when
she was "born again" The little
church at Cool Springs welcomed
her, gladly into her membership.
The common schools gave her
the education that prepared her
to spend a year or more in the
Broadoaks Sanitorium at Nor.
canton. Her work here proving
satisfactory, she easily obtained
O position in the State Hospital
OF Raleigh, where she served four
years. More than q year ago, an
attack of lagrippe lett her weak
ened. but an over-powering am.
bition spurred her on to work at
great cost to her vitality. In
March last, measles only paved
the way, when the "Great White
Plague" found an easy victim.
From childhood she was loved
by all. Her desire was to serve
to serve we'll to give good mea-
sure, shaken down and running
; over. How the world needs such
service! But heaven knew a hi
needed rest in sleep, and it is q
blessed thing that we can think
: of her as "Asleap in Jesus, bless
ed sleep; from which none eyel
! wakes to weep"

Civilization should Care for the Sick

and Injured.
Wilkesboro Chronicle.
County authorities all overour
land provide for the keeping OF
the criminals and for their health
at the expense OF the taxpayers
OF the county. The public purse
provides h court house for the
trial of criminals, and then fur.
nishes at pib'ic expense a home
for convicts, furnishes free food
and free medical attendance. If
an accident bpiall a convict, he is
given me liral attention ar once
at the expense OF the county.
This is all necessary and right.
But there arises another ques-
ton. Why sould q man, espec.
tally Of moderate or little means,
be compelled to be a convict be-
fore he can get public county
help iu case OF an accident orser-
ious sickness? Isn't a 'aw-abidmg
citizen as go I'd rs q convictP
Does he not need medical atten-
ton in case of accident as badly
az the convict. Isn't his health
as precious as the health OF the
convict? 1t does not appear 50
under the present form OF our
lcivilizatiou. The law abiding
citizen, who is visited with an &C
cident, shonld his pocket not be
plethoric with cash, is lett in the
hurch and TO the mercies OF
"swtet charity" which may new
er discover his case.
Some time in the Iuture years,
when civilization will right itse'i

we'll as the criminal, every county
will own and maintain at public

Editors and Good Roads

rekS CONVENTION Ill LtiOlI
should be printed lnevrry editor
ial page in the State, and he
come the key note to the coming
years campaign for progress.
The resolution was introduced
by Elitor Warner, OF Southern
Gnod Roads, received o chorus
OF seconds, and was adopted by
| a unanimous vote. 1t reads as
follows:
| "ResOlved. That it IS the sense
OF this association that the best
use that can he made OF h q
States conviets is in the con.
structinn and maintaining of the
public roads, provided their use
does not interfere with the pres
ent system OF working county
convicts on public roads.
"Resolved, That we, apprec'a.
ting the need OF engineering as
sistanre to counties in the con-
struction of their public roads,
most thoroughly endorse the fur.
nishing OF such engineering assls-
tance to the counties.
Resolved, That we most hear
tily endorse federal aid to t b e
states in public road construc-
ltion and do the herewith urge
our senators and members OF
Congress to give their. earnest
and serious consideration to leg
i>latlon such as the Simmons
bill, looking toward federal aid
: to states in construction a n d
maintenance OF the public high
wav.
"Resolved, That it is the sense
OF this association that the State
should appropriate out OF the
general treasury for the con
struction and maintenance o. ht
public highways of the State th'
sum Of 81 900, 900 annually"
The foregoing contains h
germ of genuine reform. The ppo
ple will have to speak in lOpt
tones be ore tie legislators cal
hear them. We believe a vast ma
}. iority of those who have stu 'ie'
: the situation will favor putin!
tire States convicts on the pub
lie farms instead OF working
them on farms in compntitio
in With honest labor; and We b'
lieve the returns would be I a
greater to the state in the end.
: The politician and most OF til
offire-seekers will tell you thu
the State penitentiary should nc

c. tions; that it is a paying propt

we believe that, If the State col
victs were put to work constru
= ting public highways through tt
counties, the results in actu
of cash would soon be far great
all than the net or gross. earning
from the State farms. There
nothing that creates and stin
latps property values equal
good roads.
Then the value and importan
OF having competent englnee
ing in la ylng out roads in TIT
construction is too apparent

who have had experience in bu
