The Good Roads Lecture.

We were very sorry there was
only small crowd out to hear the
good roads lecture by Mr.. Penny
hacker, Jr., at Madry's opera house
Wednesday night Of last week,
Mr.. Pennybacker talked very in
terestingly on how to build good
roads and impressed his remarks by
giving moving picture illustrations,
showing good and bad roads, that
no doubt made lasting impressions
upon those present. Mr.. Penny
hacker dwelt upon the point of good
drainage. He said that the condi-
ton of our roads could be improved
very much if those who work the
roads would pay some attention to
drainage. We hope the lecture will
be the occasion of arousing our peo-
pie to the point of building good
roads in this community.

Had Quite a Trip.

Messrs. D. L. Christian and w. R.
Walton had quite an experience
Sunday trying to spend a few hours
with friends in Richmond, Va
Leaving Scotland Neck on the 10
o'clock train, arriving at Weldon
they found there was no train over
the Coast Line leaving for Richmond
until late in the afternoon, so they
boarded Seaboard train for Nor
lima, but when they arrived there the
Richmond train was six hours late.
Then it was they decided to return
home and therefore took the next
Seaboard train for Weldon. When
they stepped from the train in We'll
don they were told that the Scotland
Neck train had been gone several
hours.
Messrs. Christian and Walton soon
found their way to livery stable
and engaged team to bring them
home. They left Weldon about six
o'clock and expected to get home in
about four hours. But not so. The
driver lost his way and when in
CURRY was made was told that they
were in about three miles of Enfield.
Then another and successful start
for home was made and when the
driver and his two passengers
(Messrs. Christian and Walton)
reached Scotland Neck the clock
was stricking two in the morning
and all were tired and worn out. 1t
is a nice treat to hear Mr.. Christian
tell their experience on this trip.
They travelled to Weldon and Nor
lima, then back to Weldon, Enfield
and then back home-having travel
ed all day and over half the night
and then not going anywhere they
wanted to go. 1t will likely he sew
eral Sundays before these gentlemen
try to take another trip to Rich
mond.

At conference of educators inciud.
ing President Vincent and the faculty
Of the Minnesota state university and q
number OF the superintendents of high
schools, it was practically: decided: to
add more subjects from which entrance
credits could b.. obtained. Agricul-
tare, manual training and domestic
science are among the subjects that
will likely be recognized by the; agree
ment. The superintendents of high
schools hay: long contended that the
restrictions placed on the high, schools
by the university were altogether too
ssvs the ana tact t0fS that ae h isene bea&
cognized. The fact that credits should
be allowed for subjects which would
never be for any practical advantage to
the student in later life over those that
would enable him to be situated so as
to pat his knowledge to immediate
uss. we do not believe, has met
with the public approval generally.

If those people who are so anxious to
have the blood of .murderers upon the
state, by restoring capital punishment,
on the plea that the repeal Of the law
is responsible for the recent, wave of
crime which swept over the state,
would look to Illinois, where capital
punishment still exists, they will find q
wave of crime which wouId put Min
nesota to blush. As yet Minnesota has
not uuearthed murder farm. .. We
do not believe that the fact that
capital punishment prevails, has one
thing to do with the prevalence .of
crime, or. the lack Of it. TIE man who
has murder in his heart, goes ahead
without much thought of the Law Tor
the hereafter. Albert Lea Tribune.
