A plan for raising between So,OOC,-
900 and $2,5OO,0OO annually by North
Carolina for good roads construction
and maintenance was formulated at (:
meeting in Raleigh Wednesday nigh:
of subcommittee appointed at Il
Roads association at the capit4l Wed.

The plan, which will be submitted
to the general assembly, is to ta1 au-
tOmob.le5 rs cents a horsepower an
nually: to tax motor trucks so O. ton.
and TO levy a 10 cents ad valcreln tax
ION the 800 property valuation. This
tax will give the state between So
100000 and $2,5OO,O0O annually, and an
equal amount will be received annual
ly for 10 years from the Bankhead ma
tional highway bill thus giving the
state about 100000 a year Cor road
construction and maintenance, it Is
said.
AS the number of automobiles and
motor trucks increases the annual
amount raised for road purposes in
creases, and the number of machines
in this state is increasing about 100
rer cent annually.
1he subcommittee was appointed nv

late plans for raising the amount de.
sired and Senators Delaney and

Between 35 and 80 members Of the
house and senate were present at the
meeting Of the good roads associa-
ton, and they were all enthusiastic
over prospects for great road-build-
ing era in the state. This is generally
regarded as finish f1gh for good
roads until the necessary funds to in
sure them for this state are secured.

HOW FASSIFERN is HANDLING
THE INFLUENZA SITUATION

Before the Christmas holidays
rigid quarantine was established at
Fassifern. No visitors were admitted.
and no one from the school visited or
shopped. Day pupils were not ad-
mitted. There was no influenza in the
school.
Immediately preceding the holiday
season, the principal sent out cards
to every parent Offering to keep a con.
t1nuous session if parents were will
ing. Only seventeen signifed their
willingness to have their children give
up the vacation. Consequently the
students were dismissed as usual. Ur
to date only three have failed to re-
port.
On account of having been EXPOSED
to contagion, these have been asked,
to wait until there is no danger IF
bringing influenza into the school.
Upon arrival a new pupil was re-
quired to present a clean bill of health
signed by a physician.
Every morning, each day pupil ana
each boarder has her temperature taxi
en- by the school nurse aud an assis-
tant from the hospital. II the ther-
momenter shows any thing ous % the
normal day pupils are sent home ana
boarding pupils to the school infirnsary

KEEP COOL AND KEEP WELL
Some Points of Importance to Be Re-
membered When an Epidemic 10
Threatening Public Health.

At its worst any epidemic takes but
a relatively small toll Of the popula-
ton, and as rule the majority Of
people are resistant to the assaults OF
the worst disease germs, including In
fiuenza, If they but take ordinary care
of themselves. This is important.
Whatever medical science may advise
as to prevention or as to treatment,
one simple fact that outweighs every
thing else Is that if every individual
will but follow the normal life he has
led, eat those things that are suited to
his system, things he has always eaten
with resulting good health, rest and
sleep as usual and avoid overfatigue
while carrying on his work, also as
usual, he will escape the pestilence.
There is no excuse for any panic.
Above ALL the individual should re-
member that the first and last rule to
follow in this state Of things is to keep

Is much to be proud OF. We are proud
Of our country, Of our sacrifices, Of
our privations, of our sorrows, but
they are apt to lose their merit by our
Boosting about them. The testimony
Of worthy deed Is not expressed In
words but in quiet and noble life.
We heard q man tell Of a heroic deed
In which he was the hero, but one
wouldn't know 1t from what he said,
and yet somehow In his very tone and
his praise for others one could easily
see whose was the honor of it. There
is one phase Of Boosting which is very
dlstasteful, and that Is the sort which
makes ourselves the greatest people
on earth. OF course we are, but we
don't know it from what the boosters
say. We only know 1t by hearing Of
the acts of our heroes, who are apt
not to mention it at all. We learn Of
our own nobility by feeling it in our
hearts and not by reading it in the
newspapers or hearing the orators

With the largest corn crop ever
known in sight and john barIeycorn
but out OF business, it would be rea-
sonable to expect the crop to have an
Influence on both bread and meat in
the direction oI lowering those two
necessaries of life. But with prodteer-
ing at the present high pitch the out
look for any relief for the masses is
doubtful.
With the largest wheat crop in sight
ever known and wheat selling in Aus
tralia, Argentina and India for practl-
cally half the price in this country,
the government makes no effort to re-
duce the cost of bread to the people,
but winks at the big grain speculator
who has his bins full of wheat, None
of the foreign grain come to this coun-
try and prices keep soaring. No per-
son of reasonable judgement can fail
to understand that if the government
chose 1T could reduce the price of bread
to the people.
a billion dollars was appropriated
by congress to make up the difference
between the government guaranteed
price and the probable price Of wheat
this summer. The government pre-
fers to take the billion dollars out of
the wages of tn lahorer rather than to
tax it out Of the SPECTATOR and profit
eer. Such things are the food on which
anarchy and Bolsheyisfn feeds and
thrives.

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

Over Probable Loss of Another

They were tossing about on the wild

at least q hundred feet from the

to pull for the shore; she was sitting
In q heap in the stern Of the frall
bark, holding on like grim death and
mentally vowing that she would never
again .be tempted by her sWeetheart's
daring spirit to venture so far from

shrieked, as the boat gave another

nearer, aren't WEI"
"A little. Oh, George, what shall
we do II the boat is lost?"
Don't worry yourself about that,

"You mustn't upset yourself about

ANCIENT OLD TRADING POST
About Fort Smith There Seems to
Gather All the Romance Of the
"SiIent Places"

OF all the glamorous old trading
posts of the Honorable Hudson Bay
company, there is none with more of
the romance of the silent places about
it than Fort Smith, perched above the
Rapids of the Drowned on the Slave
river, writes "Niksah" in the Chicago
Daily News. The Slave flows here
from Lake AthabaSca to Great Slave
lake, and halfway on its journey, just
where the sixtieth parallel of north
latitude divides the province Of Al
berta from the Northwest Territory, it
passes Fort Smith.
The fort is set high above the trOu-
bled waters several hundred feet up
the steep, rocky bank. A fine spot
for defense 1t was, in the early days,
but now that attacks are over 1t Is an
inconvenient location In spite of its
picturesque qualities. All day long
you can see those who are in the bib
hcal phrase drawers of water" toll
ing up the steep path with yoked buck
cts over their shoulders-Indian wom-
Ell anu ClllluIeu, SeINdulS VI lHO NOh-
pany carrying every drop that Is
drunk, and whatever may be used for
other purposes. 1t is no discredit to
wash sparingly in Fort Smith. One
must needs have scant consideration
for the value of human labor to do
otherwise.
All about the trading post are scat
tered the tepees of the Indians, wan
derers of the great woods, on their an
nual trading expedition. They bring
with them the breath of the vast woods
country; its struggle has shaped their
tight-lipped mouths, its loneliness has
made their steady black eyes inscrut-
able; its mystery has made their laugh
low, quick bitten thing, like laugh
snatched in the shadow of terror. All
these things the white woOdsmen show
even more strongly, with the quicker
impressionability of finer clay. The
northern woods runner is man apart,
almost q separate species of the hui
man animal shaped by the relentless
pressure of an irresistible environ
ment.

PROCURE OIL FROM BIRDS
Inhabitants Of the Island Of st. Kllda
Are Especially Favored in Re-
spect of Light.

The price Of coal oil Is matter OF
no interest to the inhabitants Of the
island Of ST. Kilda, fayorlte haunt
of that animated oil can, the fulmar,
observes the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune. So rich in oil Is this sea
bird that the natives simply pass q
wick through its body and use it as a
lamp.
The oil is also one of the principal
articles exported from the island.
1t is found in the birds stomachs, is
amber colored and has peculiarly
nauseous odor. The old birds are said
to feed the young with it, and when
taey are caught or attacked they light
en- themselves by disgorging it.
In st. Ktlda it IS legal to kill the full
mars only during one week in the
year; but during that week from $4,000
TO 10000 birds are destroyed.
The mutton bird Of the Antarctic
also carries It's oil in the stomach and
can eject this oil through the nostrilS
as Il means of defense against enc
mics.
Quantities of mutton birds are
slaughtered every year for their oil on
the coasts Of Tasmania and New Zea-
land. In its composition and proper
ties this Oil closely resembles sperm

The speech of President Wilson to
the u. S. senate was a great disa-
pointment, in that it did not give one
particle of real light or single rea-
son for us joining tire n5Tgue, other
than lot of glltterlng generalites
that really mean nothing IN fact.
He stated that this country would
not enter into any treaty or agreement
to go to the aid of France, unqual
ifiedly, in the event she was attacked
by Germany, and now he presents a
signed agreement and urges is adop-
ton By this country.
1t seems to be, and has been his at
itude all the time. to not let the people
or the senate know anything that was
being done, but after it was all done
in accordance with his secret methods
to say to this country and the senate:
"There it is, your only course is to
accept il as have prepared If for
you.
But the people and the senate are
not satisfied to accept his demand as
final and they will not.
.No living person can give single
logical reason why we should depart
from our traditional policy of mo en-
tangling alliances. ana pledge this
nation, unqualihedly, to go to the aid
of France in the event she is attacked
by Germany.
No reasonable minled person doubts
that we would do our full duty when
the tine comes, but to be bound to act
is entirely foreign to our national
policy and traditions and we cannot
afford to launch into any such policy.

House TsY Still Standing In Which
LearneA 1Ien Awarded Voyager
an Undeserved Honor.

Many readers who keep scrap-books
lore.
On April rs, 1907, the learned heads
of the University Of st. Die, in Lor-
raine, decided, incorrectly, that Amer.
igo Vespucci was entitled to the honor
of discovery, Christopher Columbus
having only reached the islands of the
West Indies, and that the western
hemisphere should bear his name. The
name america" was, as a matter Of
fact, first used in the book "Cosmog-
raphlae Introductio," by Martin VALID
seemuller, professor of cosmography at
the university.
1t has since been shown that Amer
igO Vespucci was preceded by both
Christopher Columbus and John Cabot,
but 1t was too late-the new world
had been dubbed America" and the
fact advertised in print. The house
where the meeting was held at which
the classical error was made still
stands at st. Die (Yosges), and is an
nually visited by many tourists, es-
pecially those from both North and
South America.
Hence the error Of learned men is
responsible for America being named
after Amerigo Yespucci, who was
given an honor he clearly did not de.
serve.

GREW FROM ROMAN COLONY
City and Fortress OF Cologne Has
Figured Prominently in. the
Pages of History.

A fortress of the first rank, and a
place Of trade and manufacture. Co
logne is one of the most important
cities in Germany. 1t lies in a vast
semicircle on the left bank of the
Rhine, some 45 miles north-northwest
of Coblenz, and, as the center of q net
work of railways, it has direct COM
municatiOn with all the chief cities
of Europe; whilst along the broad Wa
tiers Of the Rhine its ships may go
down to the sea. At the time when
Julius Caesar was leading his legions
over Gaul, In the first century before
the Christian era, Cologne was the
chief town of the Ubii, and was known
to the Romans as the Oppidum Ubl.
Drum. Here, in A. D. 80, Roman
colony was planted by the Emperor
Claudius, In honor of his wife, Agrip-
pima, and given the name of Colonia
Agrippina. 1t rapidly rose to be a
place Of Importance, and, under the
emperors, had the privilege of the Jus
Italicum. Then came the decline of
the empire. and with it the outlying
Roman city began to feel more and
more the pressure of the FrankiSh
hosts, as they moved steadily west

Franks in $50, but they did not per-
