A TIaELY SERMON.
Where The Citizen Falls in DiSChargils
His Duty.

The Lexington Dispatch takes oc-
casion to preach q little sermon on
cooperation to the people Of David
son county which might be read,
learned, marked and inwardly di-
gasted with profit by the people OF
many another county. The text
taken by our contemporary is based
upon a little incident that recently
fell under its observation. There
was bridge to be repaired in Lex
ington township a few weeks ago.
Therewas just a little break in it
one that man could fix at the cost
CT few minutes time, a few dozen
nails and a piece Of plank three feet
long. Did some patriotic citizen
volunteer to fix that little break !?
Not quite. Il was left for many
days, menace to the safety Of every
team that crossed the bridge. Half
dozen men came to Lexington tC
tell the township road trustees that
there was break in the bridge. One
man lost two days trying to get the
hard-pressed road trustees to repair.
that little break. As soon as the
trustees could spare man they sent
him out to 90 the work.
Several other illustrations are cited
to drive the point home, but the one
quoted will show the direction OF
these remarks. Most Of us, if frank,
must plead guilty to the charges Of
neglect OF the public welfare thus
brought. Precious few citizens now
a-days are inclined 70 put themselves
to the trouble Of mailing down g
three~foot plank unless they cen see
financial reward, and the man who
lost two days in trying to get some
body else to DO what he himself
could have done in q quarter Of 81
hour, simply did what the average
man would have done under the
circumstances.
The trouble does not lie in inner
ent laziness. We have no doubt
that the men who wasted time i.
nestesiife,i ~ ~os1 trustees are cap
4 bic and etncient farmers. Ic comes
rather from a mistaken idea that the
public officials always endeavor to
! postpone their business as long as
possible and that if private patriot
ism did even so much as nail down 6
, plank it would have q bad effect
Supon the road trustees, making them
depend upcn further activity Of thF
same kind. The remedy is to come
by the gradual training Of the peo-
PIE 20 take a broader view of public
responsibilities, and to this end VIC
would be pleased to know that The
| Dispatch's remarks had been read in
every county in the State. It would
be depIorable should road trustee.
neglect their duty because landoWn
ers fell into the habit Of attending
to it for them, but we do not apprc-
bend any immediate prospect Of such

Extensive Order for New Equipment.

The Atlantic Coast Line is showing
its faith as to future conditions in
that it has placed the following ex-
tensive order for additional equip
ment: Fifteen Pacific type passen-
ger engines, 20 large freight en-
gines, 25 passenger coaches, A COM

This equipment will be delivered

the Coast Line in position to meet
the demands Of the travelling and
shipping public.
This large order of freight equip
ment, taken in connection with the
extensive double tracking and bridge
work going on at various points OH
the line, indicates that the Atlantic

OFFICERS CAPTURE BURGLAR.
Jailed at Halifax On Serious Charges
How lie Vas Detected.

Halifax, N. c., April 8.-Detect-
ives Of Portsmouth and Emporia,
Va, this morning brought down
from Weldon a young, robust negro
calling himself John Smith, who is
alleged to have broken in the store
night before last Of Geo. a. Hux &
Co., Of this place, taking goods, con-
sisting OF watches, iewelry, clothing
shoes, etc. An entrance was gained
through the transom ABOVE side
door. After the robbery many
seemed to think there must have
been q small boy in the game.
The negro was arrested in the de-
pot waiting room at Weldon, and
had a suit case. Detective Field
asked him what he had in the case
He replied: Nothing boss, but
some old clothes" When asked to
open up, he simply made break
for the door, and there Detective
Hodges GaDbed aim. About all the
stolen property was recovered
amounting to about $50. The fel-
low mad little time to dispose Of the
goods.
The negrois now iii Haliftx jail

Defective Hodges who is in the
employ Of the S. A. L. +. r. Co., ar
rested in Norfolk a negro by the
name Of Percy Jackson, who broke
jail here some weeks ago. Jackson
was sentenced at the last term Of
court TO the roads, but escaped be-
fore getting there. This negro has
bad reputation behind him, being
notorious gambler, and having been
in trouble quite number of times.

In fighting to keep the blood pure
the white corpuscles attack disease
germs like tigers. But often germs
multiply so fast the little fighters are
overcome. Then see pimples, boils,
eczema, saltrheum and sores multiply
and strength and appetite fail. This
condition demands Electric Bitters to
regulate stomach, liver and kidneys
and to expel poisons from the blood.
