THE GOOD ROADS SPIRIT.

There is 10 be opportunity at hand TINS week
for the people Of North Carolina to show that
thew are inbued with the spirit OF good Toaos.
Not alone that they want good roads but that
their hearts are in the cause for the making OF
better highways in North Carolina.
By proclamation Governor Craig has set ASIDE
Wednesday and Thursday of this week as Good
Roads DAYS" in North Carolina, two days on
which all people in North Carolina can do SO
devote themselves to actual work on the roads.
In person he will set the example, and will serve
two days in road work in Buncombe county.
If there is a general response to the call to work
the roads on November FIVE and six there can be
much effective work done in repairing old roads
and in putting in shape new roads. This will
make the two days of practical value because OF
the work which will be done, but the days can be
made of far more lasting and valuable service
than the road building which is done
This greater service is for good roads advocates
to make of Good Roads Days" an example of
their value to the State, and Of their interest IN
the making of highways of which the State can
be proud. The time when it was necessary to
argue the value of good roads has passed. This
is a thing recognized. What is now needed is to
get into the minds of the people everywhere the
desire to have them, to have good roads every
where in North Carolina. Unfortunately there
are sections of North Carolina where the spirit
of good roads does not exist, and it is to bring
such a spirit as this to all the State that Wednes-
day and Thursday of this week should be used.
The opportunity is here for a work which will
rebound in good to all the State. Let no man
who wants good roads in North Carolina fail to
take advantage of it.

THE NORTH CAROLINA WAY.

There are no people anywhere who have mcrs
Of the spirit Of help than the people OF North
Carolina. we be one people is that which Is
felt, and with that in heart and mind North
Carolinians are ready to aid where distress IS
found.
A few nights ago FIRE destroyed dormitory
buildings Of Horner's School at Oxford and the
response of the people was quick. Throughout
the State there was deep regret that disaster
should have overtaken that noted institution,
and sympathy for it, but with it came that graft
fcation which always comes when the night thing
was done, and that right thing was the opening
of their homes by the people of Oxford. 50 that
the students might be cared for and the school
kept at work.
The burned buildings will be restored. and
Horner's School will soon again be at home
The prompt action of the people of Oxford en-
abled it to 60 forward without the loss of any
time. The school met it's disaster with courage
and the people of Oxford did a fine thing with
their help. But that is the Oxford way, the
North Carolina way.

A Washington dispatch tells of Senator Over
man dropping the .Asheboro postofhce tangle-
Much has been said about the President having
to devote too much of his time and strength to
the decision of the ever present problem as to
who shall have the offices. The same thing is
true Of Senators and Representatives.
We wonder what would be shown if the facts
should be made known as to just how much of
the time of Congressman is given over in one way
or another to consideration Of the question of
filling the Offices. 1t would not be surprising to
find that half Of the time and thought of Con
gress1men is given to this very thing. Or a third
at all events.
This is a serious inroad upon the time OF the
men who ought to be devoting themselves unre-
servedly to the constructive legislation that the
constantly growing and changing needs Of =
great nation demand.
